So there is no medical Doctor in the whole of Nigeria good enough to do a medical check-up for the "dumb lady"? So she flew with the presidential plane to UK with her retinue of aides on our money for some stupid check-up? Imagine how much it'll cost to park an airplane in the airport in UK? Imagine what the cost of that trip can do? Is this the idea of GEJ cutting the cost of Governance? Yet her husband want to remove subsidy on fuel claiming the economy will fold up without the subsidy cut-off. What an unfair world. I've maintained that the present protest shouldn't be only about the fuel subsidy removal but also about goverment profligacy and corruption in high places.

Good job guys! Tomorrow is our day in Houston for the protest too, over 1,000 Nigerians have signed up to attend.
But them murder English on some of the placards, "agaist",, "probles", we understand sha, English no be native language
Whew, see the kind of freezing weather Nigerians have to condone to get out of Nigeria because of the successive Government's maladministration.

Where are the so-called men of God? do they agree with the subsidy removal?
Where are Bishop "Slapper" Oyedepo, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, Pastor "abracadabra" Oyakhilome, T.B "abracadabra" Joshua e.t.c, does your ministries forbid cricizing the Govt.? we know they are your customers too but at least remember that your ignoramus members will have to transport themselves to church to come and donate their money to you to maintain your life of opulence at their expense. So, the situation will affect your business too o!

Sit at home continue to suffer and smile, no shaking!

Guys, must you import tribal sentment into everything? Is it a curse? are people good or bad based on where they come from?
We've had Northerners, Southerner, Westerner, Easterrn and presently Niger-Deltan lead us, they have all plundered our resources, so why are you fighting to defend these polilooters just because they are your kinsmen? it beats my imagination! Use your brain to talk to your brain, think before you type. This is the leverage these plunderers have over us, they capitalize on our divisiveness to rob us openly. They know we can never be united to challenge them, schmew!

Echala:
That was a different reporter, that guy was black if I recall correctly. Purefoy is a white dude and covered Nigeria's recent elections. Abeg dey do your research before you defame person character.

Don't mean to defame anybody as you're insinuating, but if you did any research yourself, you should at the least provide us with the name of the real person in question.

Hmmn! Christian Purefoy, isn't that the CNN reporter that staged the CNN MEND report a while ago and got fired for it. How amazing people seize opportunity to relaunch themselves. I'll check the site tomorrow.

Don't go there and negotiate the fake fuel subsidy removal only, seize this opportunity to demand for accountablity, transparency and reduction of GEJ Govt's profligacy. Tell him the other polilooters with our money, get him to commit to arresting them, retrieving our money and subsequently prosecuting them.

@Fhemmy, apologies if i somehow misconstrue your position on this. I thought i read some of your comments in support of this utter disregard for law.

[quote author=kunle_A link=topic=841866.msg9943623#msg9943623 date=1326302067]Speak all the grammar you want. I will say the same thing a year ago. Please leave your Houston cushy comfort place and go visit Naija for an extended period of time and you will understand.[/quote]@Kunle-A, well, i happen to visit Naija at least once in a year and spend at least 3 weeks each time. There is no excuse for what you are doing, you can still make money by shipping cars within the limits of the law. You and i know that those old cars are money sucking b.i.t.c.h.e.s even here in US that the roads are good. Let me share one of my experience with you on one of my visit to Nigeria. I was driving at Isolo (Jakande Estate), the traffic light turned red and i stopped, all of the commercial drivers behind me were honking their horn suggesting that i should disregard the traffic light. One of them knocked on my window and i rolled it down. He told me that i should go because they only obey those lights when LASTMAN is around, i asked him why the lights are working when the LASTMAN guys aren't around?, he has no answer. I maintained my stance and only moved when the light turned Green. To my utmost surprise, the lady in a car on the second lane gave me a thumbs up through her window and did exactly what i did. Show good example, others will follow.

Fhemmmy:
@ Bizbook . . . all these would work in a civil society like where we reside, but not in the Jungle like Nigeria . . . .

Isn't you the same guy that is contributing to Nigeria's jungle nature by circumventing the law by shipping over 15 yrs old unsafe cars to Nigeria and trying to justify it in other posts? even though the law says not over 15 yrs old. Contribute to the nation building by respecting the law, if the custom official will accept bribe,, must you give it?

Are beaf and Leomax on vacation?
Falana don expose una employer o!

I'm so waiting for it to be posted online.
Even if they revert the subsidy removal decision, the anti- corruption in Govt. protest must go on.

I saw the beginning of the video, this s.o.b has a chewing stick on his hand recording a message. I am a muslim and understands all of what he said in arabic in the beginning before his blabbing in Hausa. All of what he said contradicts BH's actions and activities, these people will be at the bottom of hell fire for bringing the beatiful religion of islam into their political thuggery. Can someone tell me if a d.u.m.b.a.s.s. like this can read and write in english, use a computer let alone post it on you tube?
"it is someone that is in the 'oro'  masquerade that makes it sound". 'BH an islamic sect' my black a.s.s.

If indeed this Govt. is serious, the computer from which this video is posted can be traced. That tells you how dumb this BH people are, have they wondered why Al-Qaeda and Co. only leave messages on tapes for news media. But GEJ don't have time for that, but busy using our 6 million Naira to have breakfast with his family.

To you guys flaunting your illegal activities online, i say shame on you. You all make noise about Govt. officials being corrupt yet you are doing the same thing. Only God knows the kind of leader you'll be if you get the opportunity to be in public service. You complain about the sorry state of Nigeria, what are you doing to make it better? breaking the law and bragging over it.
@Fhemmy, can you do that in the US you lived without facing the music? Have you wondered why you are able to live in the US successfully, it is because the people and the Govt. respect the law. Now talking about your illicit transactions and dangerous cars you circumvent the law to ship to Nigeria. How safe are those cars in Nigeria, i bet all of the safety features of those cars are gone, seat belt, air bag e.t.c Tell me how a 1993 car can survive the Nigerian road for even 6 months. You are not helping the uninformed buyer my friend.
By the time you add all the cost of the car including shipping and clearing in Nigeria,, then it's overpriced for the present value of the car. If only our useless Govt. invest in vehicle manufacturing, people will not be compelled to buy a "coffin" for that much money thinking it's a car.

I have always had my reservation about BH been responsible for all the spate of bombings. These are bunch of stupid illiterates that are not intelligent enough to make and detonate bomb successfully. The terror politicians should be brought to book.

I trust that the Adedibu people will try to hijack the protest. Good decision by the Govt.

What stupid maternal mortality is this woman crying about since, same thing she kept repeating during the AlJazeera interview,
What about paternal mortality?
infant mortality?
No job mortality?
No electricity mortality?
Bad road mortality?
Boko Haram mortality?
No education mortality?
Terrible health care mortality?
, and CORRUPTION mortality?

Did these myriad of problems just started now? So, fuel subsidy removal will fix them all?
Sanusi and Iweala are simply lying,, suspend President, Vice presidents, All FEC , NASS, and aides' salaries and allowances for 1 year, use the money to fix our refineries, petrol will be less that 40 Naira.

How much did GEJ and cohort pay some of you guys for all these misrepresentations? We shall see in days to come if the protests are successful or not. You should all bury your head in shame.
To me, if flights to Nigeria are been cancelled, it's a sign that activities are gradually going to a halt.

Lies! Lies!! Lies!!!
Firstly, i lost some respect for her, she is not as intelligent as i thought, she seem to be reading a script, well, not surprised, politicians do it here too, they demand for scripts of questions to be asked before hand, no pause, just blabbing and blabbing.
However, her responses are not intelligent as from a technocrat of her status.
Mass transit program?:,  those buses will use water instead of fuel? right? the 1100 buses will reach all nooks and cranies of Nigeria and immediately ameliorate the transportation problem. One just wonders why they suddenly came up with this idea after the fuel subsidy removal, not before.
Transport worker have agreed not to increase prices? really?,  Does all buses use diesel? Did Govt. buy those buses for them to tell them how much to charge?
To use the money saved to reduce maternal mortality rate: Oh the Govt. just got wind of that problem? so they removed subsidy to fix it.
To create youth employment: Oh that problem just started too! and yes GEJ must remove subsidy to fix it.

So what will the Govt remove subsidy from to fix bad roads, bad educational sector, terrible health sector, no electricity, e.t.c?

Paid GEJ apologist litter NAIRALAND!
I have noticed that paid GEJ apologists have littered NAIRALAND. Every topic that has been posted since last weekend immediately attract up to 50 comments per mins. supporting the president and his policies. Their comments take the form of  " Ride on presido", "Fresh air is finally here", "I am happy i voted for GEJ" e.t.c. They don't respond to the issue directly. Is this his way of creating employment?

Hmmmn! we forget too soon? what happened with the NITEL privatization? Who was it sold to? Has it improved NITEL services?
In as much as this should have been a good idea,, but the implementation will be flawed, due process will be ignored, corruption will raise it's ugly head again.
Trust me, 90% of those 18 companies will be owned by corrupt politicians that stole our monies, our money will be used to buy our property.
And to those of you hailing Jonathan for his ineptitude, aren't you ashamed of yourself? do you guys have any conscience? Why can't he fight corruption first? what is he scared of?, too much skeleton in his cupboard too?
Why did it take him fuel subsidy removal protest to understand he's running an excessively BIG govt? Now he is talking of 25% slash in basic salary, is the waste really on the basic salary or the supid allowances? does he think Nigerians are still this stupid? I think he may have nailed iown coffin with this subsidy removal saga. Don't forget that he is a weakling, an ordinary uneducated bunch of political thugs (Boko Haram), he can't curtail.

prodam:
beaf, i am a proponent of your idea and views on the removal of fuel subsidy,
the fact is that if u are not patriotic then u would not have shown interest in seeking knowledge and research as much as u have done on the issue
the sanusi lamido speech was an eye-opener for me.
for your critics here on Nairaland, they are definitely seeing it from the perspective of "an aggrieved citizen".but I must say: we are all aggrieved even the leaders but intelligence and crucial analysis need to be made, now the UN and EU involved, more opponents to convince, struggle continues in a civilized and legal way, You guys are wonderful and patriotic,
am still writing a comprehensive essay on the issue, I promise to make a copy available here on Nairaland for your appraisal

From a young politician

All we are saying is, corruption needs to be tackled before removing the subsidy, there are no jobs, no electricity, no security, no education, no good roads, e.t.c   If the Govt. cannot fix any of these problems previously, what is the assurance that they will use the saved subsidy money judiciously? They only need more money to feed fat on. I read Beaf's comment about 1600 buses procured to cushion the effect of the subsidy removal hardship, isn't that r.e.t.a.r.d.e.d? are these buses going to convey people for free? will people eat in the buses? for free?so there was money to buy 1600 buses before, the Govt. just chose to punish the masses? I can bet my life, those buses will disappear into the hands of politicians in no time.

[quote author=i-mobf link=topic=840434.msg9909819#msg9909819 date=1325877189]na molue go jam you where ever you dey[/quote]@Mobf, this is so hilarious, ROTFLMAO!

@Beaf and @Nuclearboy
I have been reading your arguements back and forth.

Beaf, you sound like an intelligent person but your opinions are mostly laced with sentiments. Take the case of US for example, all the senseless war Bush wasted money on, who is taking the hit for the economy collapse, higher unemployment e.t.c? OBAMA, because he is in charge now. Do not also forget that GEJ was the last vice-president.
Just like @nuclearboy pointed out, i don't care where and when the rot in Govt. started,, GEJ should start  fixing the freaking problem (CORRUPTION). He swore to serve the people not the so-called cabals. In the case of the BH terrorism, he openly admitted that he knows the goliaths, then he should GO AFTER THEM!. Fixing the problem is not creating untold hardship on the innocent masses. He needs to purge the system, proscecute the so called mafia, there are abundant reasons to arrest and prosecute IBB,OBJ, AbdulSalami,Atiku, the list goes on, i forgot GEJ himself. This is not the time to remove fuel subsidy, he needs to fix the cancerous corruption first. Otherwise, any money saved from the subsidy removed will be wasted as usual.
GEJ govt is irresponsible, he has no freaking idea of what he is doing.

It has been moved to the religion section, i hope Seun and co. will consider moving it to the frong page for a lot of people to read.
Thank you guys.

I came across this recently.

A few years ago, I served as a pastor of a Methodist Church in a sub-urban neighbourhood in Portland Oregon, in the United States. I was young and just graduated from seminary. I was then the first black pastor of what was then an all-white church. The church had historical significance in the region for it was said to be the first church built by the pioneers as they moved west in what was then called the Oregon territory. It was the beginning of fall season and the women were getting ready for the annual church bazaar. I had settled in that fall morning and was going over the day’s expectations with my secretary when the chair of the women fellowship came in. She did not look happy and it was apparent that something was wrong. I told Estelle, the secretary, to leave us for a moment and closed the door behind her.

“Pastor”, Mrs. Smith began, “someone is bringing filth into the church and you must do something to stop this”. I was at a loss with what she was referring to and after calming her down I asked what the matter was.

“Come, let me show you”, she said and stood up and stomped towards the door. I stood up and followed her and stopped briefly at Estelle’s office to ask her to hold all my telephone calls. As we made our way to the storage area where the women were sorting out the donations for the bazaar, Mrs. Smith rushed to the area where books were stored and held out a book with the title: The Gift of Sex. I was familiar with this text having studied sex and sexuality as part of my graduate training in family social work.

“This is what I’m talking about”, she exclaimed with all the righteousness of someone whose faith has been wounded. “Someone brought this filth into the church, what is this world coming to?”, she asked with an air of begging me to join in the condescension. “I want all this bad books thrown out of here for we will not accept books like this” she concluded.

I told her that there was nothing wrong with the book as it was written for Christian couples. Looking back at this incident now with the benefit of time, I must have shocked Mrs. Smith because I told her that if we were to throw out all the books that mention sex from the church building and church library, then we also would throw away the Bible because it has stories with sex in it.

As I read the reactions of Nigerians and the outrage following the bombing of the church on Christmas Day by the radical Islamic sect, Boko Haram, I am reminded of the encounter I had with my parishioner. We tend to want everyone to believe the way we do and when others see the world differently, we fume. My fellow Christians have tended to see the bombing as an act of Muslim conspiracy against Christians rather than an action of a radical murderous sect that is not speaking for all Muslims. One writer on the Internet even went as far as quoting the Quran pointing out that Islam sanctions the killing of Christians. This murderous group, it should be recalled also unleashed its mayhem during the Muslim celebration of Eid el Kabir a month earlier in Jos. Religious fundamentalism is found in all religions and is not peculiar to Islam alone.

Are you ready for stories of violence in the Bible? The fact is that all revealed religions are just that “revealed” and therefore, open to interpretations by the adherents. It is the reason we have so many denominations in Christianity because we do not all agree on the meaning of a particular passage of our scripture. Yes, Islam has a history of violence and so does Christianity. Do the crusades come to mind? How about wars and killings in Ireland and Uganda? I am not defending Islam nor do I advocate for Christianity to be seen as the religion of the “civilised”. The fact remains that religion remains a source of conflict in the modern world because of ethnocentrism. As Archbishop Desmond Tutu eloquently stated in his new book, “God is not a Christian”, we belong and practise a particular religion because of the accident of our birth.

If our parents were born in Saudi Arabia instead of southern Nigeria, chances are that you and I will be Muslims today and how we practise that religion would depend on our level of education and socio-economic status. We have this tendency to evangelise and see our culture and religion as “the way” and all others as savages. No one religion has a monopoly on fundamentalism; it is a function of how we see the world. To many, religion may be the only way of making sense of the world and so everything else is filtered through such lenses. The French sociologist, Emile Durkheim, had taught the world that the primitive form of the religious life forces those who know nothing else to see the world exclusively through the workings of the supernatural. It is when we defy the gods and ask questions that we can escape the grip of the primitive as the British writer, Salman Rushdie, noted. Rather than blame Islam as a religion, religious fundamentalism should be seen as a symptom of what is wrong in the society and our educational system. As a social scientist, I do not like simple answers because the world is too complex for finger pointing. The Boko Haram menace and religious fundamentalism in Nigeria depend on the ability to recruit the poor and those who are not educated. Religious violence depends on the ability to convince those who cannot read and write that one interpretation of an ancient text holds the key to liberation from poverty and suffering. Ability to convince people to look past human emotions and the sacredness of human life depends on that ancient and primitive reasoning that the individual is serving a higher purpose by being non-human. In the end, it is the human being who thinks that he or she is serving the divine by killing others that is evil. Religion in itself is not bad, it is we who are bad; it is what we make of it that is bad.

I condemn inflammatory essays that are lining up neighbour against neighbour. Islam is not bad. Fundamentalism is found in all religions. We who call ourselves Christians have had our fair share of religious fundamentalism and there are entire libraries of stories of atrocities committed in the name of the Bible. To pick verses in isolation and out of context in order to vilify one religion is to make oneself look good and return to the old civilisation debate. We human beings are complex beings and the world is a complicated place, let us try to see problems beyond black and white.

The National Assembly has not taken the security and unity of the country seriously and different administrations in Nigeria have stubbornly clanged to the post 1966 unitary police system despite the high level of insecurity in the country. The police system in the country is a joke and groups like Boko Haram are able to plan and execute murderous mayhem with impunity because our antiquated police system is powerless. If states could police their territories and the federal police simply lend their expertise, perhaps we could have been able to deal effectively with these criminals. There is no law against hate on the basis of religion or origin in the country despite sectarian killings and violence. States still have their Sabongari sections for “strangers” who ironically are fellow Nigerians. Rather than deal with the immediate problems that are confronting the nation, the Senate has chosen to pursue illusions like making law against same-sex marriages as if that is the most important problem confronting Nigerians.

Until the National Assembly takes its responsibility seriously, the benefits of democracy will remain an illusion.

Donate 30%? what do you mean by donate? the right word is "RETURN" the overpayment, they are insanely overpaid for ineptitude and mismanagement. Why can't the same wage structure of a civil servant apply to them? assign a civil service grade level to them and pay the equivalent salary. They should only have 1 official car that should be used only for official duties. They are representing the people, they do not need any stupid police escorts. They should pay for their aides by themselves if they need one. Only the President and vice-president should be entitled minimal aides, e.t.c. We need to convene a sovereign National Conference to fix all these loopholes. These people are sucking us dry and that's why they are removing the subsidy to leave more money to squander. If fuel subsidy is the only thing an average Nigerian will benefit, let it be.

One of the known problem of the black race is that we are too lazy to read. This is the reason the whites are ahead of us in everything. If it were some unsubstantiated rumor posted by some paid commentators in three sentences, most of us must have started writing a lot of religious and ethnic sentiments laced comments.
Take it or leave it, the poster is right, i advise all to spend some time to read it and equip yourself with good information to argue that the subsidy removal is flat out wrong.

Hmmmmmn!, maybe the poster should have thought before typing an unsubstantiated rumor, not the other way around.
If you do not have any source for the information, then you are one of the political thugs called Boko Haram.
You should rather be calling for a united front to battle GEJ and his goons.
