Sharap, won’t we go for Friday prayers again?

They should reschedule the meeting to Wednesday.

Kukutente23:

You're wrong on a lot of grounds here. If it was the brazenness of the removal, that of Tinubu's is worse than how Jonathan attempted it. Jonathan actually consulted widely before removing it unlike Tinubu who has come out to claim it was a slip of tongue. I don't think anyone has been more unprepared than that.
And slawomir is very correct. Your comparison of the reception of OBJ's fuel price increases with this present one is also very much narrow. Nigeria was not sharply divided along ethnic lines under OBJ. He never presented himself as a tribal leader neither did he take office with an ethnic agenda like Tinubu and Buhari especially. Nigeria today is divided along ethnic lines that almost every aspect of our national life including appointment of service chiefs is viewed from an ethnic angle.
That's how low we have sunk under APC.
And for the records, Oshiomole actually was pro-subsidy removal in 2012. Jonathan failed at removing it because the opposition to removing subsidy was very strong not because he did not consult enough or carry people along. His was better planned and methodical than what we have now.

The soul of Nigeria has been sold never to be recovered. No amount of prayers can reverse it. I saw it coming and left over 25 years ago. It was the best decision of my life.

They are wasting their time.
Their Strike action has failed before starting.

Citizens can't afford more than a week indoor. Else, hunger will chase majority out.
At the end of the day, Ajaero will beg through the back door to sit with FG.

But like a dog that will not listen to the hunter's whistle, let him go ahead with his strike action.

Majority needs 1000 naira daily earning to survive, will NLC feed them?

NLC is only fighting for government workers who are minorities of Nigerian workforce.

You are the tribal person here! You see things in a tribal light and perceive everyone else will.

So, Nigerians were not tribal when they voted for Jonathan? He won all states of the Southwest except Osun state (Aregbesola was still very popular then) and they did not vote for the ACN candidate Ribadu. You start shouting tribalism when it suits you

Did OBJ not try severally just to increase the price and met great opposition? Is OBJ Ijaw? Was he from a minority tribe like the Chibok? Most Yorubas applauded Oshiomole's frustrations of OBJ's oil price increases.

Jonathan failed to carry the nation along that he would remove the subsidy and deregulate the price. The nation just woke up on January 1st, 2012, with the announcement that the subsidy was gone and price fully deregulated.

Who does that? Where's the wisdom? He should have started sensitizing with stakeholders that he would remove the price after he won the 2011 elections. Heavy consultations with the state governors and stakeholders should have been had on how to end it. Oshiomole who was now a governor realizing his mistake could have reached an agreement with the NLC. I fully supported the deregulation then and now.

OBJ did a very poor job of enlightening the population of the need to end the subsidy and fully deregulate the price. That military man in him preferred to impose things on the citizenry rather than work through consultation. The same Oshiomole who fought him hard upon becoming governor realized that the subsidy was costing the nation dearly and short-changing all 3 tiers of government.

This is 2023. Times are different. It is glaring that the petrol subsidy is adversely affecting the country. Buhari's wasted 8 years has exposed the unaffordability of the subsidy, costing about a quarter to a third of the budget to finance.

Also, Tinubu, Obi and Atiku all stated they would remove it. So, what's the problem here? Is it because it was a Yoruba man that eventually removed it? If it needed to be removed, it should irrespective of who actually did so.

how has the Muslim prayer that you've been praying since you were born benefited you?

slawomir:
Damnnn niggar
Make una enter street...na Jonathan body una for dey get power
The masses on the street are too tribalistic...that is what the politicians are taking advantage of....could you imagine despite all the bullshittt since tinubu came in yet no protest from our artists, actress and actors....where is wole sonyinka?
Jonathan removed subsidy despite the cheap cost of things as at then but the whole nation united and protest
Endsar protest the north didn't join because it will be seen as fighting against their own son( buhari)

It's easier for the big three to unite against a minority president than for the country to unite against a president from any of the big three. So unfortunate. That's the tragedy of Nigeria.
