Dear Dr. Goodluck;

With the best wishes for you and your family, we hope you thinking of the citizens of your Nation in this new year, 2012; people who are being exploited and subjugated while you continue to pile up your lootings. What else can be worse than your Presidency? We were elated when we learned of your opportunity to replace those warned out Rogues (Army Rejects) not knowing that you are the same in flesh. We thought you are highly educated so you must understand the suffering of the people of Nigeria and will reasonably pave better exit for them. We thought you were GOD sent but we spoke too soon. Where is your integrity and humility? Why are you so shameless? Lacking in every aspect of humanity. Jonathan spending and looting Nigeria treasury like a drunken sailor. Do we all warship the same GOD? The judgment day is at hand and you all bastard will account for your misdeeds. This is too much to bear. The lousy simple fuel subsidy that can help the deprived is planned to terminate while this fund will wind up in one of your many bank accounts. SHAME SHAME SHAME ON YOU ALL. NIGERIANS GET OFF YOU ASSES AND SAY NO MORE OF THIS HOGWASH.

Jonathan is getting bold and bolder everyday. He has not achieved a single legislative agenda since in the office, all promises including that you would provide uninterrupted electricity in the first eight months of your first term, but non kept on top of millions you looting: When is this going to end? When is Nigeria going to revolt and say enough is enough? Jonathan is even worse than the Army rejects who were the last Office Holders.

Press Statement

NIGERIANS SHOULD IGNORE ANY BLACK MARKET  INJUNCTION

There are rumours circulating that the desperate Jonathan administration has purchased a black market injunction possibly from the National Industrial Court (NIC). The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) is not aware of any such injunction, we were not served any paper of court appearance, we were not present in court nor were we represented in any capacity. Also, the NLC was not served any court summons nor were we served any court order.

The cretins in the Jonathan administration imagine that by seeking to drag the judiciary in the mud, they can avert the general strikes, rallies and mass protests that will begin on Monday 9th January, 2012.  They cannot make the simple analysis that the whole populace is angry and that Nigerians do not need any group to ask them to protest an evil policy that seeks to impoverish them.

The NLC asks Nigerians to ignore this childish ploy and rumour; there is no going back on next week’s protests and shutdown.

The issue of the strikes, protests and against an obnoxious policy, is not and industrial relations one; it is not between an employer and an employee. Rather it is one between the Nigerian People versus the Jonathan Government.

So if the issue was taken before the National Industrial Court, then it is the wrong place to shop for a black market injunction. To obtain an injunction from a court that has no competent jurisdiction is to try playing ping pong with the judiciary.

Labour reiterates that the constitutional and fundamental right of Nigerians to protest cannot be annulled.

The NLC asks Nigerians to ignore such rumours; the strikes, mass rallies and protests will go on as scheduled.  The NLC advises the Jonathan administration to listen to the people or face their justifiable wrath.

Nigerians! Instead of talking about the future gains of the removal of fuel subsidy, they are busy talking on how to embark on one useless strike, protest and mass rally. What a shame! When is Nigeria ready to change it ways.
A policy that our two economic dons (Ngozi Okonjo Iweala and Sanusi Lamidu Sanusi) has supported and some people are still going against it.
For those who want to still embark on strike, mass rally and protest, let them go ahead but they must be ready to pave the street with their blood and bones. It pains that when the soup of deregulation of petroleum down stream sector is finally cooked, some will not be alive to eat it.

Stop deceiving yourself, Let me refresh your memories, during IBB, they talked about the gains of SAP, during Obj, the talking about the gains of Increase in Pump price, they were government that had 40% interest in the Nigerian masses, do you really think a fraudulent government who can not tell you how much fuel you consume daily in this country and does not know how much it truly cost to subsidized fuel would have any *gains* to show you at the end of this year?

Your two worshipped dons: Ngozi and SLS said this:
Ngozi : the actual cost of fuel subsidy is less than N1.3tn
SLS: Going by the DPR data, fuel subsidy for the year 2011 should be N900bn not N1.3tn, I am not sure of the *savings*  of N1.3tn the FG is promising Nigerians,

You better wise up!

I'm for anything that would free up more funds for a safer future. But Jonah has chosen to forget why Nigerians voted him. Which is secure our interests above his. Why hasn't he cut down recurrent expenditure drastically? They say they've eliminated purchase of cars and construction of office buildings for 2012 as well as reduced salaries, but as far as I can see, there's been no difference in the entire recurrent budget which means what he's done is minimal at best.

The subsidy removal is a complex issue and people are seeing it from only one angle. For example, of the 1.3 trillion subsidy savings, just about 600billion would be for Federal Govt. States and Local Govts are entitled to their own share of the proceeds too. And no one (not a single person yet) has bothered to ask how the proceeds would be used by the states and local govts. Is the federal govt the only arm of government in Nigeria?

When you protest and shut down the nation over subsidy and forget about corruption, a menace that has eaten deep into the fabric of the country for 51 years, what does that say about Nigerians want for receiving everything today rather than sowing for a better future.

If we shut down this nation like is proposed on Monday over corruption, don't you guys think something more useful would come out of other than a reversal of the subsidy. BTW, transport prices have increased by 50% to 100% but my summary of the story is that in a corruption-free environment (def not naija) the sacrifice of subsidy removal is hugely welcome if the monies are to be spent wisely.
