That is the brand of the movement. Anyone in Nigeria, I urge you to go. The urgency is now. The removal of fuel subsidies was the final straw. The Federal Government of Nigeria has made its choice. It is time for you to take your stance.

What are you fighting for?

The protests are against the fuel subsidy removal and also the inefficiency of the Nigerian Federal Government.

and who are those supposed to go out?

The man who has his kids school fees to pay?
The teeming millions in this country who have no access to light not to talk of the internet?
The millions of people who never ever stepped out of their houses to vote?

Who really who?

I am sorry to burst your bubble but there too many reasons why no protest would work, just a scare of bombing alone sent people scampering from churches and your are asking them to come out enmass to be targets?

We were all fully aware of the ineptitude of the pdp government but people said vote GEJ not pdp, now like someone said here they should buy petrol but not the price

If you can't help don't discourage.

Sorry bro I say it as it is, I long kept mute here on Nairaland to let these guys ogle over voting someone with no political base into power.
Suddenly they expect a keke napep to race Formula 1 speeds, not going to happen. GEJ knows the way forward is to tackle corruption but he cannot do jack about it, so he decides to tow this line.

I wish you guys luck, but I trust Nigerians sha when work resumes tomorrow tell Mr okoro to follow you to eagles square

Try searching for "Occupy Nigeria" on the facebook search. Tell me if you still have issues with it.

I find the whole occupy movement to be ridiculous, pointless and [i]stu[/i]pid.

Yes, I found it - Thanks.

The creator of the Facebook Page is NOT in the country now. Make we all come together from all over the world and protest ( BB, twitter & Facebook na Ojoro )

^^^ Exactly.

Protest for Benin City, added!

Any Igbo man that shows up at any of these so called "occupy" rallies is on his own.
We have more important issues facing us in Nigeria.
Let the "owners of Nigeria" go and shed their own blood.

Onye obula norokwa n'ulo ya o!

as expected from eze ndigbo. Typical bigot

Any Igbo, Yoruba, Hausawa, Ijaw, kanuri, Idoma, Igala, nupe, edo, Ibibio, efik/annag, fulani, tiv that does not show up for this riot should remember this

That is he not only doing it to save himself from future hunger and CRIME, but also for his/her children from the impending all out riot.

I do not speak as a yoruba or northern or igbo but as a Nigeria that has the [size=18pt]Nigerians at heart[/size].

"Your people" are my people. "My people" are "your people".

"Your people" are business men and travellers, and also according to nairaland, that are the highest population in each state apart from the indigene. If so then we can say your people would be the most hit can't we.

If I see "your people" suffering on the streets, do you think the alj harem of nairaland would be so bigoted/ callous to let them be ?

In my life, lots of "your people" have helped me in various occassion thus I view myself as one of "ur people".

Onlytruth, you don't understand how angry I am right now on this subsidy thing.

I cannot buy fuel to my generator because it is 141 naira/liter. i use 10 -12 liters very night to sleep and now it has increased to 1500 naira .

Guys, please before you start these protests , let us know if there is any money you would like us to keep safely for you , just in case 

We will be loyally monitoring the situation on Al Jazeerah and CNN.

Though we are not with you physically, our hearts are with you.



On a more serious note , guys please guage the situation, we do not want a 2012 massacre.

Do not RISK your life !!!!!

[s]Medicine after death[/s]  Protest after voting GEJ ?!

There is only one thing I'm trying to occupy.
