Today in history:
Do you remember the 2012 fuel subsidy removal rally and
strike?
If you have forgotten, it took place from Jan 6-12, 2012. It got
to a peak on Jan 8, 2012.
Background fact
January 1, 2012, GEJ led FG increased fuel pump price from
N65/ltr to N141/ltr so that subsidy can be totally removed!
Voila! # OccupyNigeria protests erupted in Lagos and some
other cities. NLC, TUC, Save Nigeria Group, civil society
organizations, Nollywood celebrities, ACN and opposition
Politicians etc took turns to address the rally at Gani
Fawehinmi memorial park at Ojora, Lagos to denounced the
subsidy removal. The strike paralyzed the country economy
for about one week.
In the midst of the strike, FG backtracked and reduced the
pump price to N97/ltr after series of negotiations with the
Labour unions to call off the strike.
Fast forward to 2015.
PMB led FG said subsidy was a fraud, that there is nothing like
subsidy. They promised to fix the refineries, that Nigeria won't
import fuel anymore. Has it been done? NO!
May 2016, PMB increased pump price from N97/ltr to N145/
ltr, claiming Subsidy has been removed. No rally, no protest,
no strike from actors of 2012 strike .....even from
Nigerians! # Jazzed ?
NASS found out that FG has been paying subsidy
unappropriated!
Suddenly, the lid broke, FG was paying subsidy , despite
claims of its removal!
FG claimed it was Nnpc that was paying and not FG
NNPC says they are not paying subsidy, but it's "differential",
after more pressure from suspecting public, they renamed it
"under recovery" .
Oil marketers threatened to stop importation of fuel in Dec
2018 if their "subsidy" payment was not paid. FG quietly paid
.
Guess what, this year, subsidy funds is in the 2019 budget!
N1.1trn! .. as they are tired of defending indefensible
Question: Why are we not buying fuel at N97/ltr all these while
(from 2016) when FG is still paying subsidy?
Where are SNG, NLC, TUC, Civil society groups, Nollywood
celebrities, eminent participants etc ?
Who is occupying Nigeria today?
God bless you!

Prayers cannot save Nigeria, God is tired of our useless prayers, as long as Nigeria as a nation fails to address injustice, ethnicity, nepotism, tolerance, good governance, insecurity, lawlessness, punish criminals, crimes and criminality, allow free citizenry participation in the Democratic process, allow free and fair elections, obey court orders etc then forget about it, the country is doomed and beyond redemption, prayers cannot solve the problems of a nation.

Nigeria and Nigerians have been praying since 1960 and yet nothing tangible has come out of the useless prayers, God is tired of our useless prayers and God is a God of justice, equity and mercy.

Nigeria needs a king David, a man after the heart of God to flog sense into our consciousness and enforce the will of the Almighty, PDP AND APC are not the solution to our democracy, Nigeria is technically a failed state shocked

Sharia law doesn't work that way, if Sharia court passed their judgment and it doesn't suit you, you can go to court of appeal.

GOD bless you. The Bible says "Righteousness exalts a Nation but sin is a reproach to its people" Prov 13:34. most self acclaimed Nigerian christains are shallow.It is one thing to know the right thing it is another thing to pretend to know the right thing.

Nice write up, and very informative.
Let me just go straight to give an answer to your questions.

Nigeria has moved from bad to worse, Nigerians are no longer free and safe again. and no sane individual or any of the above mention organization would like to wrestle with the person of buhari, like they did to Jonathan. No matter how Democratic buhari claim to be, the truth is that military blood runs in his vains.

Have you ever said "sorry" to a soldier man?
as peaceful as it sound it irritates them. that is their level of reasoning.
