Nigerians protesting against job creators?? At least these thieves are using their stolen wealth to create employment opportunities.

Direct your energy at those in government - precisely the legislators.

alj harem:


You people should answer these questions and I will be a pro- FG:

Why was Obasanjo able to pay off our national debt worth billions of dollars while retaining fuel subsidy?
Why was Obasanjo able to build up our foreign reserves into billions of dollars while subsidy was still on?
Why did Obasanjo still launch some projects, like satellite, while subsidy was on?
Why was subsidy money in the billions while others were in government but went into trillions just few months into Jonathan`s government?
Why were the implicated subsidy beneficiaries(oil cabals) not punished by Jonathan?

PHIPEX:

@ alj harem
You have a nice post up there and what I can make out of it is that we are all frustrated by these cabal but is it not better we state our issues clearly from the outset rather than hiding under subsidy removal to vilify people who are also fighting tooth and nail to better our lot?  There is no argueing the fact that the govt could hv handled the situation better but to paralise economic activities and ask for a reversal of a policy that previous administrations had dreaded to implement is wrong. Now that the protest has started, Let NLC marshal out its grievances clearly and it must include the cutting down of the excesses in allowances of our legislative arm. It will take an Angel to convince me that Ngozi, Sanusi and Jonathan are removing this subsidy in other to steal it. These are not ordinary politicians, if we cricify them now cos they are implementing an umpopilar policy is it Bakare and his group that are just fighting for their interests that we will accept?

THE GOVT SHOULD FIGHT THE CORRUPTION IN THE SYSTEM IN ADDITION TO SUBSIDY REMOVAL.

Intellect of d average nigeria? Otedola is not in government at least directly, if he comits any crime it's the duty of the government to try and prosecute him, not a bunch of rented, confused, and even jealous crowds. If anything happens to the man or his family it will be the blame of uninformed or misinformed political operatives who have sold their common sense for a plate of porridge. Where was this crowd when IBB annulled Abiola's election on June 12th, where was this crowd when Yar'dua's wife was ruling this country by proxy while the man was dead

Based on the info I know, the govt is not broke that it can not take on some of the issues u raised, the issue is that a project that ordinarily should take a yr to complete takes years, If you'v passed through Enugu-Onitsha rd you will understand better. As to taking on the cabals, I still don't know why some people are shielding them but that question should be directed to the EFCC, if u listened to the Reps on Sunday you will understand that the Cabals are more Powerful than we think afterall even the House dread to take them on. Remember that its this same people that you want our Immigration officers to withstand at our borders.

Reference:

This is what we have been talking about. This is why government must not back down now. That is what they want, a quick resolution and back to the status quo. This incident and a couple of observed responses (will not mention not to derail) shows that Nigerians are beginning to become aware of the problem and broaden their perspective while others have begun to defend them just as many began to defend the Ibru's and Akingbola's. Too bad.

What they (the crowd) should do is to cook the man inside his house and make his life miserable. Some should remain to picket him all the way to his office and follow his operations as closely as possible. It is at times like this in foreign countries that a turncoat, a disgruntled former employee of his will come up with damning evidence of his company's activities. Someone should speak up - documents, flash drives, text/voice messages, photos. C'mon folks there's something out there. Be patriotic. Stand up and be counted. From custom officials, tanker drivers, loaders, admin officers, accountants. If you keep silent you are an accessory to these crimes and national economic sabotage. Let us have information to present before government. The pressure must continue.

eGuerrilla:

Some in that crowd were probably toddlers when Abiola's election was annulled.
So what exactly is your point?

Much more than your esteemed self, the "average Nigerian" understands Otedola is a member of the Oligarchy which continues to hold our country hostage, so consider this event your first free module in political science 101.

The issues at hand go way beyond the removal of fuel subsidy, but then something tells me you this already, much like some other commentators whose raison d'etre hinges solely on ethnic affiliations and barely disguised irredentism.

naijaking1:

Yeah, yeah, what an excuse?
The organizers of this crowd know better, their parents know better, and politically motivated supporters like you know better. Nothing is really accidental in this things, they're planned, directed, and ochestrated by somebody somewhere. That somebody could for reasons best known to him decide to prosecute the conductor of the molue that crushed a pedestran, instead of prosecutring the driver. Because of the emotional nature of the crash, uninformed crowd could even join the prosecution of the wrong person. It happened a lot in history and biblical times.

maryjames9:

Oga, e take e easy now
What about, the local government chairmen
The State Governors
The Ministers
The senators
The President and vice president themselves
The calabs have been successfull all these times cos some powerfull people allow them to operate
We are seeing the corruption in the oil sectors, what of other sector?

What has been acheived by this useless Government since he has assumed power?
Nothing
Obasanjo has acheived more than this nonentity. He's simply clueless

I want to ask you an honest question. As much as i am not in support of these cabals, if u happen to have info that there is a place u can sell a 65 naira pms for 190 naira, what would you do honestly?
The FG is trying to syphon money from innocent nigerians to pay for their huge debt with the IMF and World Bank and they are using these cabals as a cover.

They are trying to divert attention from themselves so as to get their motives achieved. They dont really have our interest at heart. They are failures and deceivers who kept on enriching themselves. I was watching the house of representative when a motion was moved to investigate corruption in the oil sector, they all voted against it overwhelmingly. Are we supposed to trust people who build huge house for a girlfriend in abuja?

Nigerians, your leaders are the thieves, not some business men who saw a leak in your policy and with the help of some top politicians opened your borders to sell the oil.

kamuzu: LWKMO, Beaf don fade out.

Beaf:



Poor donkey. You people decided to carry out an id!ots protest yesterday for awuf like lazy phucks. And I made my stance known to you.
This new direction is what people should have been doing in the first place, protesting those that hold the nation by the jugular and who GEJ has refused to pay a further farthing. I heaven will, let it drop.

At last, people are beginning to protest for the right reason, instead of the sponsored one. So let it continue.
As I have said numerous times, go out and protest why your LG boss and governor still cannot develop your local community until; it stands on its own. Ask them why their only function is to share money from Abuja which they should have been funding as it is in normal countriees.

Why can the people not protest the salaries of the members of NASS who collect more money than Obama for doing fuckall?


Am glad you aknowledge that people have a reason to protest now. This is in contrast to your earlier stand.

now, we know who the poor donkey is between us don't we?
