When the rebels in Libya were protesting in Benghazi, the Libyan diaspora was also protesting in London.

Why do Nigerians in the motherland always feel they are better than Nigerians in the Diaspora?

they protested in the uk because britain had a direct influence on what was happening in libya.
nato forces had british soldiers so the protest in england can be justified.

just what has the subsidy removal gotta do with england?
were they the ones who made the decision? the priority is misplaced as far as i am concerned.

nigerians in diaspora should go to nigeria and protest there.

Wrong, they protested to highlight what was going on to the whole world! FYI, Britain only made formal committment after the French sent in their attack fighter jets into Libya!

FYI, these protest in london is mainly targeted at the 'MARKETS', ,

The protest while in England is directed at the Nigerian High Commission. It is a protest in solidarity with the rest of Nigeria against the actions of the govt of Nigeria.

how can they protest to highlight what was going on to the world when people watch bbc, cnn, etc?
does this make any sense to you? was it this protest that told the world about gadaffhi or people knew gadaffhi before the protest?
whether you admit it or not, the west had a lot to do to what happened in libya. it's not the same as subsidy removal in nigeria.

y'all priorities are misplaced.
what are you going to protest against the next time? environmental sanitation day should be moved to monday?
price of agege bread should be dropped? ladies should wear trousers to church or what?

which markets?

would have made more sense if what they are protesting against has affected nigerians in diaspora.
people can protest @ the nigerian high commission for the unlawful killing of a nigerian or the unlawful detention of a nigerian citizen. what say does the nigerian high commission have to change the decision of jonathan goodluck?

a very big shame on those of you who feel protesting against subsidy both home and abroad is a waste of time.
Didnt all of you not run to the UK to stay because NIGERIA was nothing to write home about?
Many of u have rich folks and are living off stolen govt money.
abeg keep your snobbish opinions to your self, if the queen of england and her immediate and extended families with a drop of royal blood were living the way our politicians and co live at the expense of the masses, do u think UK wld be the way it is?
Abeg eh, if u have nothing constructive to say, just sharrap.
after all the world witnesed the riots of some mad brits just cos the govt wanted to increace what and what (despite the fact that they also live on social security)
Keep living in UK and paying for the citizens indirectly.
when Nigeria has a turn around, u wld now begin to deport urselfs back home and start singing ''east or west, home is best'', ndi ara

thats why ur miserable a.ss is slaving away in the UK all in the name of i must live abroad.

FYI, This protest goes beyond subsidy removal! Your points would have been valid if Nigerians in Glasgow, Bristol, Manchester, Newcastle or Liverpool were protesting on the streets there. But nope they aint, rather the protest is taking place in NIGERIA! If you do not know, the NHC in London is the Nigeria in London and a protest there is equally a protest held in Nigeria. We are showing support with our brother, sisters, fathers, Mothers, siblings back home! The images coming out from London is giving more inspiration to those back home.

Contrary to the 3 men show people thought this would be, lots of Nigerians in and around london have turned out to send a message to GEJ and His government. Any people oriented government would know that the government credibility is serious being damaged.

I see you do not know which market I am talking about, hmmmmm

The last time People protested in London and New York  - Yaradua and Cabal Fell within days.   No Regime has ever outlasted the Will of People.

If the worst of IBB and Abacha can back down , who the hell is GEJ  

How long can Nigerians remain docile -  One day docility will break.

When Rosa Parks sat on that bus, most people thought she was an idiot for making that stand. Today we have a black president in the white house

in the UK, when city dwellers started protesting about fox hunting, people were asking what has hunting got to do with city dwellers. today fox hunting is banned

The problem with our people is that we are too docile therefore people in authority find it easy to push us around. People who protest are looked at like idiots and as such the people in authority find it easy to push the anti-people policies

I am for removal of subsidy purely for economic reasons. however I understand the reasons for those who want to protest whether they are in Abakaliki, Abuja, Lagos, Kafanchan or heaven forbid London to do so. It is their democratic right as long as it is conducted in a peaceful manner

Please let us be tolerant of the right of others to protest whereever they are

there's only one nigerian high commission in the uk. so how do we know for sure the people standing out there protesting didn't come from the cities you listed above? i am not against their idealism. i am against where they have chosen to do the protest. there are ways to show support to the brothers, sisters back home. they can set up a website and air their protests there without constituting a nuisance to the public.

at least, libyans protested because they wanted britain to put pressure on gadaffhi and the brits did exactly that.

It's called jealousy!, Give them a two days visas to the UK and see how madly they will rush down here! If they truly believe we are all suffering and slaving here how come visas application to the UK is still in the thousands despite the average UK visas fees being in thousand of Naira

The truth is, many Nigerians have seen what is obtainable here in the UK and they can't understand why it can not be possible in Nigeria, hence the reason they are 'mad' at this government despite their initial overwhelming support they gave her!

i would rather protest where i would be heard and where i would expect some reaction from my audience.
in this case, nigerians would be heard and by tomorrow, the brits would have forgotten what happened as they are powerless against it.
this is not a fight against human rights. . . . .i would rather they are protesting against government's nonchalance to boko haram killing christians than the subsidy removal rubbish.
Re: Nigerians In The Uk Cleared For Fuel Subsidy Protest On Friday 6th by drstone1: 5:02pm On Jan 06, 2012
My Personal Note: Whilst it was shocking to hear the news of subsidy removal on New year’s eve. I personally felt that the decision is somewhat sudden and “harsh” especially when Nigerians were not prepared for this. Some had made plans for the New year and may have budgeted money only to hear the shocking news. This was amidst ongoing negotiations by the Panel constituted for that purpose to argue for the need and find out how to cushion the effects thru the placement of adequate palliative methods. Many felt shocked at the insensitivity of the PPRA in making the announcement. I can not here hold brief for the Government as to what reasons they may have seen from their own position and based on the Stark facts available to them for which the decision to announce the removal of Subsidy on Jan1,2012 was made. While the procedure may have been crude, yet the arguments are not entirely out of place for the removal of Subsidy. However, in Nigeria where we have been saddled with corruption from different governments, politicians, or militricians and or political parties, whether they be PDP, ACN, APP, NPN etal during these our 53yrs of cohabitation. Moreso especially when Senators, Representatives, ministers, irrespective of their[b] party affiliations, religious inclinations and ethnicities[/b] collect jumbo pay and whenever convenient borrow billions from banks to share personal allowances running to millions among themselves with nobody being brought to book. It is also pertinent to note, that not one of these So called Politicians irrespective of their parties,creeds, ideology, or religion have come out to say that on the basis of conscience they have refused these MONIES and that they are making sacrifices to show their Love for the interests of this country and identify with the masses.
In fact certain persons, who once were in government formulating similar policies have suddenly turned “Pro People” and “Anti Oppression”. Hmmmmm!!! Skillful politicians are adept on riding to achieve their ambitions on the sentiments of the gullible and frenzied masses.
While these calls and the Demonization of GEJ is currently in full swing let me also sound a very strong note of caution to well-meaning and sincere agitators for an equitable distribution of wealth irrespective of one’s social strata in society. To be careful, and vigilant less they be the machinery that are blindly fighting to bring about the REALIZATION of an ominous and SINISTER Evil upon themselves unawares. As a matter of fact the times we are calls for the exercise of such vigilance irrespective of the Let downs and feelings of insensitivity we may have about government. For to be FOREWARNED is to be FORE-ARMED!!
What is the real agenda being played out in the fight against “INJUSTICE” Made even more worrisome in the context of massive killings, systematic executions, mass genocide being carried about by fundamentalist in parts of the country. Is there any correlation, with the present situation unfolding before our eyes??
From the Mahdist Islamic movements of Sudan in the 1890's, which the British helped Squash after the brutal massacre in Khartoum of a British Army officer, to the Revolution of the Sheik Usman fodio against the then Hausa rulers of Gobir, to the present days revolution in places like Egypt, Tunisia et al.

One thing is common. These fundamentalist organise their disciples into a ragtag army crying against INJUSTICE and seem to be fighting for injustice only to consolidate their Strict rule of Religious dominance in those Societies (ala Afghanistan). Back then in Omdurman, Sudan; the British were not fooled by such Crap.

They dealt a death blow to the Mahdist movement. We hear today that these events are political and not religious. In fact the gruesome murder of Christians having a prayer meetion about 7:30pm in Deeper life gombe this week was attributed to robbers and criminals. NOBODY, and i repeat, NOBODY should come fool us with such gibberish and balderdash. WE are not FOOLED [/b]by these same rhetoric with which the SULTAN exonerated the Bombings caused by BOKO HARAM as a mere handiwork of political agitations. It is a deep seated agitation by a fast dying oligarchy who feel they are loosing out of power and are desperate by all means possible to regain their domination of Power, politically, judicially,militarily and economically.

Hear Winston Churchil on the River War, written about 110 yrs ago.

“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries!
Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the creed rule or live, [b]Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities
. , all know how to die; but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. (SEE what has happened to Northern Nigeria Over the years, despite their dominant rule in the last 50years. The difference between them and those in the south being that they took advantage of western missionary education by their numbers.) No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being [b]moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant [/b]and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising FEARLESS WARRIORS at every step; and were it not that Christian Europe is sheltered in the strong arms of science (the science against which it had vainly struggled) the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome.
Hear Churchill,
About the modern machinery of war and its effectiveness against native terrorist tribesmen:
“ , the Maxim guns had also come into action. A dozen Dervishes are standing on a sandy knoll. All in a moment the dust began to jump in front of them, and then the clump of horsemen melts into a jumble on the ground, and a couple of scared survivors scurry to cover. Yet even then a few brave men come back to help their fallen comrades. end of quote.

Today, the effect of that science is in the possession of nuclear bombs, UAV’s ,cluster bombs and a SUPERIOR War technology.{italics mine}

By the way, i have not heard of Sharia banking 4sometime now after accusing, shaming and denouncing some people of grave injustice in managing the banks!!!!

These times call for ETERNAL VIGILANCE. The Coptics in Egypt after fighting for "INJUSTICE" alongside their fanatical brethren have their asses, finger burnt as repayment. We even had people who showed us pictures of how they were protecting their "brethren" from other faiths from the POLICE while praying on the internet to show their “UNITY” in fighting against “INJUSTICE” and “OPPRESSION”. Shortly after the ouster of Mubarak, they Were visited with the real aims of fundamental Islamist dragons, [b]BOMBINGS, BOMBINGS, BOMBINGS, BOMBINGS, BOMBINGS, Assassinations and DEATHS[/b] in their numbers within their Churches. After Sufficiently intimidating and harassing these gullible comrades they have now tried to enforce the religious dominance in that country!!!

Make no mistake about this. There is a RELIGIOUS JIHAD being WAGED by a section of HOLY WARRIORS in accordance with the strict interpretation of their Creed. It is all summed up in this statement by Sheik Othman Dan Fodio.

"In his book Tanbih al-ikhwan ’ala ahwal al-Sudan (“Concerning the Government of Our Country and Neighboring Countries in the Sudan”) Usman writes:
“The government of a country is the government of its king without question. If the king is a Muslim, his land is Muslim; if he is an Unbeliever, his land is a land of Unbelievers. In these circumstances it is obligatory for anyone to leave it for another country”. [1]. In fact, Usman did exactly this when he left Gobir in 1802. After that Yunfa turned for aid to the other leaders of the Hausa states, warning them that dan Fodio could trigger a widespread Jihad. [4]. Eventually, he did and it was the first major Jihad for the series of Jihads which were surging during the 18th and 19th century across Sudan and the neighboring states. It was called the Sokoto Jihad and it took place in Hausaland. He finally withdrew his people to Gudu in 1802 and after 2 years, in 1804, he rose up and overthrew the unjust rulers.
In Islam Outside the Arab World, David Westerlung writes: “The jihad resulted in a federal theocratic state, with extensive autonomy for emirates, recognizing the spiritual authority of the caliph or the sultan of Sokoto.”[3] That means that Usman achieved his goal to raise the Muslim law above the power of the government which is one of his main ideas in his written works. In Tanbih al-ikhwan ’ala ahwal al-Sudan. He further writes: “As for the sultans(leaders of other African tribes practicing Islam), they are undoubtedly unbelievers, even though they may profess the religion of Islam, because they practice polytheistic rituals and turn people away from the path of God and raise the flag of worldly kingdom above the banner of Islam. All this is unbelief according to the consensus of opinions.”
Usman points out in his books many of the flaws and demerits of the African non-Muslim or Nominal Muslim rulers. Some of these are corruption on various levels of the administration along with absurdity and injustice regarding ordinary people’s rights. Usman is strongly criticizing the heavy taxation and obstruction created in the business and trade of the Hausa states by the law system. One can assume he was fighting for common equality according to the Muslim law which was inexistent before 1804.

It is astonishing how the call for overthrow of unjust rulers from Gudu(Gobir) managed to spread throughout the whole county as the Sokoto Jihad. The communication was carried along trade routes and rivers draining to the Niger-Benue valley, as well as the delta and the lagoons. The call for Jihad did not only reach other Hausa states such as Kano, Katsina and Zaria but also Borno, Gombe, Adamawa, Nupe and Ilorin. These were all places with major or minor groups of Fulani alims.

Hmmmmmm, this special writing of Sheik uthman fodio, a man with uncommon supernatural powers, about the countries surrounding SUDAN makes a clear pointer to what we have been saying !!!!, the SPIRIT OF SUDAN- that EVILPOWER that has gripped that country for years causing intolerant oppressive rule of the South,,,,,,cast your mind back on The supporter of APC mercenaries that operate BOKO HARAM Style b4 the Indepenence of South Sudan. That Powerful Spirit is seeking Solace here in Nigeria. We Bind and Cast OUT of our land that PRINCIPALITY DEMON in the name of Jesus.
With reference to that great philosopher George Wilfried Hegel in his treatise of Dialectics from which Karl Marx and Engels further derived their theory of Dialectical materialism. He posited unequivocally that through a process of thesis, anti thesis and Synthesis, the material world in history is heading toward the realization of the Ultimate idea of the Supernatural Force in creation. What is this idea which is coming to fruition in our present day with the Events of the 1979 Revolutions in Iran, sept11 bombings and the American war in the Gulf, the so called Arab Spring. We turn again to a Legend and the ultimate seer and a man of uncommon foresight of the Last century who lived in france in the 1500’s; Michel de NOSTRADAMUS. A man who correctly predicted different events in divers places including wars fought and personalities that mark special events of the modern world 500 years after his time. You go and read his predictions about the last major World War or World War 3, the Players and the theatre of the Action. Those who fail to heed the wisdom of history are bound to inevitably repeat it and also be consumed from the face of the earth by it.
On a very sober note, here this words.
Uthman Dan Fodio, had a very disturbing dream around the middle of the 2nd decade of 1800’s. In which it was revealed that this kingdom he has established by the shedding of so much blood will last for just 200years.
Watchout, Be Alert as you agitate and ponder again!! THE ALARM IS SOUNDING VERY CLEAR. Say not, i never knew this is what it shall come to. BEWARE!!!!!!!!BEWARE!!!!!!!!! BEWARE!!!!!!!!!BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!

the land is greener where u water it not milk it dry,
the developed countries have all watered their land through favourable policies and co, yet our govt has milked us dry throung reckless spending and embezzlement.
if the leakage of the country which is caused by staggering govt expenditures, then they should first remove the subsidy/free entitlements they enjoy eg, free medical care, free transport,free allowances, etc,
do u know that the niger bridge, third mainland bridge, 60bn abuja sadium, abuja city, stolen loot, swiss bank frozen funds,, etc were all commited while fuel was subsidized? so what magic does the govt want to tell us that they wld use the excess money for?
the bigger pix here for ur docile brain is that the govt should cut their selfish expenses before they advice the masses to start drinking pure water for N20

coogar:

which they cannot do anything about. . . . .this is why i said the venue chosen to do the protests sickens me.

this is akin to americans protesting the gay marriage bill @ the senate house in abuja.

i would rather protest where i would be heard and where i would expect some reaction from my audience.
in this case, nigerians would be heard and by tomorrow, the brits would have forgotten what happened as they are powerless against it.
this is not a fight against human rights. . . . .i would rather they are protesting against government's nonchalance to boko haram killing christians than the subsidy removal rubbish.
Your analogy is misplaced! If Lagos had a super power mega city status, with influencial economic powers, you would expect that would happen! Read the posters carried by the protesters in London, you would find out that the protest is against everything wrong with GEJ's government, insecurity in the nation, massive corruption, and graft in government.

For those that are currently protesting, I've just been told that Boko haram have just killed 20 Christians in adamawa, and are planning more because the 3 days ultimate they gave has expired. The Nigerian govt do not seem forthcoming in their protection of Christians, so could y'all incorporate this in chants? Lets kill 2 birds with one stone!

except that london cannot influence the subsidy removal even if 50 million nigerians turn out there everyday.
this is why i said the priority is misplaced. nigerians are protesting what the british government can do nothing about.
cameron and his cronies are powerless to influence jonathan to restore the subsidy.
