See these mgbatis, people at the fore front of these protests even in Lagos are Igbos. No, you dont like money, but sold your illustrous sons to your masters Hausa/Fulani. We have seen how you people retaliated the slaughter of , MKO, Fela, Bola Ige, Kudirat and humiliation of your soldiers by Abacha. When it starts getting tough, you guys will take to your heels. Bunch of cowards and mouthy people

I was expecting those ibo boys in Alaba and oshodi markets to open their shops so the mouthy people can maim them.

The toll gate on Lekki -Ajah express way. There are two others under construction on the same road and the LASG plans to collect toll on them as they are already doing on this one.

This is where some boys tested their protest prowess against the imposition of toll in Dec 2011 to no avail b4 the present mother of all protest.

From across the oceans see what the US wrote about us in 2005


Global Midrange Threat Estimate:
2005-2015

NIGERIA
Blessed with fertile soil, an abundance of oil, and a huge, energetic, talented population, Nigeria should be a picture of Africa’s success. Instead it is one of the poorer countries and teeters on the edge of ethnic and religious conflict while the state plunders resources completely unchecked.

Oil supports and destroys Nigeria. Nigeria supplies 10 percent of the oil consumed in the United States – slightly less than countries like Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, and Canada- making it also important to U.S. interests. Since 1970, Nigeria has received US$280 billion in oil revenues. Through economic mismanagement, graft, and theft, this vast fortune has been squandered. Like many African countries, Nigeria borrowed billions against future commodities revenues, putting itself deeply in debt.

Nigerians are, on average, poorer today than when oil was discovered. The effects of oil money and poor governance have undermined domestic industries, making Nigeria almost completely (95 percent) dependent on oil.

Nigerian society is complex with ethnic, religious, and political groups competing for wealth, land, and power. The country is home to at least 250 ethnic groups, many of whom clash regularly. Getting rich however, is a uniting goal. Most Nigerians lack a sense of national identity or civic pride. Even Nigerians don’t trust one another. Harsh economic realities have turned Nigerian cities into labyrinths of overcrowded streets affected by crime, disease, pollution, and ethnic violence. Resulting corruption and overcrowding have crippled municipal services. Firms wanting to set up in Nigeria must bring their own infrastructure.
Despite all this, Nigeria has become an essential regional power. Its military is an effective peacekeeping force, having deployed soldiers to Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Sudan. Developments in Nigeria, whether good or bad, political or economic, will echo throughout the region. Nigeria plays a lead role in increasingly important African regional organizations such as Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and the African Union (AU).

Nigeria will continue to be a concern over the next decade as its economic significance, social problems, and regional influence increase. The country will continue to gradually deteriorate from the within. As the state decays, Islamic extremism will gain more of a foothold. However, its strong, somewhat democratic, federal government, in partnership with its capable military, should keep the country moving forward.

It is really admirable to see Nigerians stand against what they is unfair. I personally am optimist about Nigerian's future and about Africa's future. The new generation will be able to change things around. We only had our independence for only 50-60 years so there is no reason to be fatalistic about our situation.
Keep it up!!!!!!!!

Fuel subsidy removal is the way forward! Fiscal federalism is on the way! Why would one be cheating another and complain when justice is about to be done! Everybody pay for the fuel you consume,  After all Govts even before now has been corrupt,  was there subsidy when cocoa was the revenue source? Even Milo was not cheap or subsidized,
