The Bitter Truth About #occupynigeria & Why It Must Be Repeated(photos) by emmyblackky(m): 4:43pm On May 16, 2016 |
A brief review of Occupy Nigeria as described by Wikipedia. Date 2 January 2012 – present (4 years, 4 months and 2 weeks) Location Nigeria and Nigerian diaspora. Causes -Removal of subsidy on Petroleum products -120% increase in the price of Petrol -corruption in Government & public service -Inhuman treatment of Nigerians by Government & Security agents -High rate of poverty -Goals Reversing the Removal of subsidy on petroleum products -Federal Government budget review (Cut-backs on politician allowances) Methods -Civil disobedience -Civil resistance -Strike actions -Demonstrations -Online activism Casualties Death(s) 16 (Lagos, Maiduguri, Ilorin and Gusau ; All shot by the Nigeria Police Force ). After going through this, my questions are; - has anything changed for the better since the last protest? - have the causes of the protest been resolved? - are those who participated in this protest still alive? - are we going to treat President Buhari different from the way we treated ex-president Goodluck Jonathan? With these and many other questions left hanging, I support the NLC and any other groups or individuals who are getting set to say NO to SUBSIDY REMOVAL. #OccupyNigeria
