LeoMax:
When that time comes, will you handover your cocoa farms to Abuja for sharing ?[/size][/color]

LOL after the tribalistic demonstration today ? LooooZZZZZZZ

Yes we would do since WE DON'T THINK LIKE YOU PEOPLE

we are better than to think that way.

muami:
Better to be popular in an oil-rich state and let the 'oil-poor' states protest.

what goes around, comes around

One day the oil would finish and you have nothing to turn back to but to these "oil poor" states just like in the 1940s.

Lets see what would happen then

Trust me the protest that took place in Nigeria would not be forgotten in at least 70-100 years time

oil would finish in 20 years time in the Niger-delta region and the SE

we would see what would happen when that time comes

Remember you only have yourself to blame because we are asking the government to develop the Niger-delta as part of our protest. You people are using tribalsim to think

hmmmmm time would tell

stiyke:
How about a protest at the doors of the past rulers that put us in this mess?? Ever thought of that??

Are the past rulers not the reason why GEJ is there ?

Why can't GEJ arrest this people since they messed up the country

GEJ called IBB has father, is that the sort of president we have

and yes I have given it a hard thought and YES CORRUPT ENDS THIS YEAR. INSHA ALLAH

Obiagu1:
Only a promoter of corruption and a tribal bigot will protest against a sound policy.

Now you have to agree with me that you are sounding more stu.pid by the minute

who is against the removal of subsidy ? dude the country supports it but the timing and lack infrastructures and lies is the casue of the protest along side other things

STOP POSTING DUMB THINGS. YOU BIGOT

[size=18pt]Dr. Dozie Ikedife And Other Igbo Leaders, Praise Goodluck Jonathan For Removing Fuel Subsidy[/size]

[img]http://news2.onlinenigeria.com/thumbnail.php?file=banners/igbosleavingnorth_616642311.jpg&size=article_medium[/img]

A former  Dr. Dozie Ikedife and other Igbo leaders yesterday drummed up support for President Goodluck Jonathan over the controversial removal of fuel subsidy.

Addressing journalists at Oba, Idemili South council area of Anambra State, Ikedife said the major problem was because the Federal Government failed to explain the action to the masses.

He maintained that despite the protests that had greeted the Federal Government’s action, proper efforts should have been made to address the devastating effects of the removal of subsidy from fuel.

“We are deprived of the information and that has made us lack comments as it regards the removal of fuel subsidy because most of the people in the country do not understand what removal of fuel subsidy means”.

According him, the country had come to the point of retrogression, adding that Nigeria had relied on smaller countries for refining of its petroleum products.

“What we are witnessing in the country today was what we had witnessed in the past when the British would come and tell us how much they want to buy our crude oil and we will say okay. They will also tell us how much we should sell our cocoa and we will say okay and when they went back to Liverpool, they refined it into bournvita and other things and came back to tell us how much we must buy them, and we said ok.”

Also speaking, Chief Rommy Ezeonwuka threw his weight behind the Federal Government, describing the action as victory against monopoly of fuel benefit by few individuals.

Obiagu1:
No, rather say that's the reason you are protesting because you want to protect the oil thieves in your region. Talk of supporting corruption and you want Nigeria to be better.

Mumu person. This is what tribalsim can cause, it makes people have a very low IQ

It seems after all the talk, shouting, teaching, lecture, protest, educating, directing, etc people are doing, some people still don't know why people are angry

1. Yes the system/ government is corrupt. In fact the country is teeming in corruption

2. Yes subsidy has to go and everyone supports the FG for that

3. Before the removal of subsidy, build our refinery so we would not have this same issue in the future. If we have our refineries working, we would not be paying subsidy to anyone and we can control the prices of our crude oil as a Nation.

4. Before removal of subsidy , CUT THE COST OF GOVERANCE not just by 25% because the bulk of the money made in government is not through salaries but be over PRICED projects. An average senator in Nigeria collects more than Obama the american president.

5. Now remove subsidy.

Other things people are protesting for because it was a build up of anger since 1970 and this was the opportunity for a revolution are

1. protest against corruption and the arrest of these people

2. protest against boko haram and killing of Christians/igbos

3. protest against the NEGLIGENT of the Niger-delta

4. Building of the Niger Bridge. Must the bridge collapse before we maintain and build the next ? Since we can save lives, why not do it now.

Now what is the point of thinking ahead when there is still corruption and non-accountability in the government ?

What is the point of thinking ahead when the next administration would tell us about removal of subsidy again ?

IS THINKING AHEAD NOT BUILDING OF REFINERIES ?

Is thinking ahead not protesting against corruption ?


In Nigeria today, we have No light, No security, No shelter, No good roads, No good water, No refinery even though we are oil producing, Total neglect of infrastructure, Total neglect of the Niger-delta, Total neglect of the Niger bridge, Total neglect of people dying in the North, Lack of accountability, Lack of credibility, Lack of industrial growth apart from Oil which the entire country is dependant on, Lack of economic growth apart from the telecommunication sector by OBJ.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I would also what to use this medium to address people thinking it is an ethnic thing.

I have heard various people saying the protest is against "GEJ" "minority" and other sentimental words to describe the protest.

I would like to educate the people about the politics behind what is happening according to my understanding and I would really appreciate if I can also learn more from other posters home and abroad.

In 2010, Sanusi made speech to the House of reps (HOR) that they were thieves and they are the ones sucking Nigeria dry due to the huge sum of money paid to them monthly. The HOR shut him down and called him all sort of names.

In 2011, Sanusi during the channels debate said 1.6 trillion naira is paid to this people out of 1.8 trillion naira thus 200 billion Naira is left for development of the country.

This people are the senator, governors, HOR, HOA, chairmen and the business men that were labelled as oil benefit thieves.

Now people Imagine 200 billion left for 150 million people in 36 states out of total of 1.8 trillion Naira. Yes I am sure people would agree with me that subsidy has to go !!!!

All am doing here is to make people political aware of the situation right now and lets not forget the Iweala and the IMF factor.

Now people are NOT and I repeat NOT angry at the removal of the subsidy I mean at such rate the paying of subsidy is not sustainable. It has to go at one point or the other, either through GEJ or the next administration. Yes I respect GEJ and Sanusi for thinking ahead of time. That is very commendable but the Issues that cause the subsidy corruption are not yet addressed.

In the future the issue would come up again so what is the point ?.

The governors and co should educate themselves and stop tribalsim

Obiagu1:
Nope, it's not the reason why we did not protest rather it is the reason you guys are protesting.

Dumb isn't it ?

why should a people protest if it is not affecting them

I am sorry but you seem dumb and you think like a fish with ur tribal brain

I have told you people to educate yourselves why people are protesting

Carry go GEJ, no more oil thieves!

exactly that was the whole Point at the first place

because of SW and North, you have lost every pea of sense

who do this people think they are fooling

OBJ = about 300-400 billion paid to subsidy - 8 years of payment
                                ^

Yaradua = 600 billion paid to subsidy - 2 years of payment

                          ^

Jonathan= 1.3 trillion paid to subsidy - 1 year of payment

http://saharareporters.com/article/nigeria-fuel-subsidy-and-yaraduas-time

chikis:
That is another reason why the subsidy should not be allowed to stay. Rember, during Obsanjo time, subsidy was about N500 million. At Yaradua time, it climbed N200 billion just like you have mentioned. Now at Goodluck time, it skyrocketed to N1.3 trillion.
These are the more reason why it has to be removed. If it is allow to stay, the amount (subsidy) used in maintaining the price of fuel at N65 or less will keep on increasing due to corruption and high cost of importation of pure fuel from abroad. Now that the subsidy has been removed, the money saved from the policy will be pulled back into other areas of the economy like providing social amenities, good eductational system, health system if only the fund are well monitored. Again, if the subsidy is allowed to stay, it means the goverment will be using huge chunk of it revenue (funds) in subsidizing the cost of petrol. If that continues, it therefore means that our borrowing atitude will never stop and development will be at a snail speed. One thing about Nigerian goverment is that when they borrow, they don't service the loan on time and all this will be compounding our economic wows.

[size=20pt]Taaaaa!!!! stop your lies[/size]

Subsidy was never 500 million during OBJ era

It was [size=14pt]AROUND the same price during OBJ and Yaradua you bloody lairs. [/size]Although Inflation would take part thus not exactly the same price and exchange rate was 130 naira to a dollar

here is a link from BBC

"[size=18pt]Subsidising cheap fuel costs the government in Abuja more than $2bn (£1.25bn) a year - and getting rid of that subsidy has become the first priority of President Olusegun Obasanjo's second term in power. "

is about 200-300 billion not 1.3 trillion[/size]

[size=15pt]Subsidy removal: No protest in South-East, says Obi[/size]

[img]http://www.nigeriancompass.com/images/resized/images/stories/politics/peter-obi-(cropped)-latest_200_200.jpg[/img]

Anambra State Governor and Chairman of the South-East Governors' Forum, Peter Obi, has said that the South-East will not join in protests against the fuel subsidy removal which begin today.

He disclosed this shortly after a meeting of traders and political leaders in the zone at the Governor's Lodge, Amawbia near Awka, the state capital.

The South-East political leaders and traders had expressed support to President Goodluck Jonathan on the removal of fuel subsidy.

Obi said the support on the issue of the removal of fuel subsidy was predicated on the fact that funds saved from the exercise would be used to improve the economy of the country, especially in the areas of infrastructure, power, education and job creation, and enjoined the Federal Government to ensure that the funds were strictly applied in the specified areas.

While commending the Federal Government for efforts made so far, the leaders and traders had called for more decisive measures to ensure security of life and property in various parts of the country, especially the troubled parts.

On their own part, traders from the South-East have expressed support for the removal of fuel subsidy and have disassociated themselves from the nationwide strike which begins today.

In an eight-point communiqué issued after their meeting in Awka and signed by the President, Chief Okwudili Ezenwankwo and Secretary, Mr. Temple Udeh, the traders said they believe the decision was taken in the overall interest of the country.

They said their support was premised on the promise that savings from the subsidy will be channeled to massive infrastructural development and job creation. The communiqué noted that massive improvement in the road and railway infrastructure will facilitate easy movement of goods and services across the country and reduce distribution cost.

They observed that the initial hardship that will be experienced by Nigerians will be compensated by the palliative planned to cushion the effects and urged President Jonathan to fulfill promises made to the people in addition to reducing the cost of governance as a demonstration of his commitment to making sacrifice.

The traders lamented the monumental corruption that has characterised the petroleum industry over the years as a result of the distortions created by the subsidy which they noted have enriched the individuals.

They called on organised labour, civil society organisations and other stakeholders to give the government a chance and go into negotiations for lasting solution, urging them to begin talks with Justice Alfa Belgore-led negotiation team for peace in the country.

epic failure,may be the worst in Nigerian history.

The country is watching all u bigots along side your SE governors.

Obiagu1:
There's nothing tribal about it. GEJ is not my brother ethnically so how is it tribal?
A sound policy is a sound policy, period!
Some say they would have removed the subsidy over a period of time, but I bet you there will be protest any time a partial removal is done, so it's better dealt with once and for all.

Bye to subsidy, bye to NEPA (PHCN), what next GEJ? I'm waiting optimistically.

Yes he is your brother ethnically speaking because he is Igbo

with that said, it is a sound policy and is anyone arguing ?

It seems after all the talk, shouting, teaching, lecture, protest, educating, directing,  etc people are doing, some people still don't know why people are angry

1. Yes the system/ government is corrupt. In fact the country is teeming in corruption

2. Yes subsidy has to go and everyone supports the FG for that

3. Before the removal of subsidy, build our refinery so we would not have this same issue in the future. If we have our refineries working, we would not be paying subsidy to anyone and we can control the prices of our crude oil as a Nation.

4. Before removal of subsidy , CUT THE COST OF GOVERANCE not just by 25% because the bulk of the money made in government is not through salaries but be over PRICED projects. An average senator in Nigeria collects more than Obama the american president.

5. Now remove subsidy.

Other things people are protesting for because it was a build up of anger since 1970 and this was the opportunity for a revolution are

1. protest against corruption and the arrest of these people

2. protest against boko haram and killing of Christians/igbos

3. protest against the NEGLIGENT of the Niger-delta

4. Building of the Niger Bridge. Must the bridge collapse before we maintain and build the next ? Since we can save lives, why not do it now.

Now what is the point of thinking ahead when there is still corruption and non-accountability in the government ?

What is the point of thinking ahead when the next administration would tell us about removal of subsidy again ?

IS THINKING AHEAD NOT BUILDING OF REFINERIES ?

Is thinking ahead not protesting against corruption ?

Obiagu1:
hahaha, enemy of progress
You rather call yourself an enemy of progress because you simply want your "lovely" country to remain backward like it has been for 51 years.

Change is not in your dictionary.

YOU SIR don't want change for this country that is why YOU SIR use ethnic bigotry and TRIBALSIM to cloud ur thinking.
When you do the same thing for 51 year and still has no result, DO YOU THINK ALL OF A Sudden the result would come out ?

slam7000:
its very dissappointing coal city and rest of south east didnt come out.tomorrow they,ll expect the whole nigerians to come en mass,condemn or protest against boko haram when the  bombs start exploding up north, this protest isnt just about petrol subsidy,its also about corruption, insecurity and govts insensitivity and nonchalance to peoples plights.

hear hear

Nigerians are watching

saintohia:
I think SE ppl are still evaluating the situation,  b/c of the way cookie crumbles[b][/b]

Yeah yeah

when the governors said NLC should not protest in their states.

[size=14pt]A very Big success !!!![/size]

Now the level of the success depends if the FG listens to us or not

smile11s:
What accountability and openness do you need?

You see, you don't even know what the protest was about and you are here calling it a failure and shouting fresh air

bigotry is really killing Nigeria

Ok explain how 200 billion from yaradua subsidy jumped to 1.3 trillion during GEJ ?

smile11s:
NLC will be regretting now!

NLC must apologize to Nigerians

Fresh Air

Regretting what ?

for demanding for accountability and openness with the figures from the FG ?

is that not everybody's right ?

Obiagu1:
Epic failure!

How would you know it is a failure, did you experience the strike ?

I though the SE never went on strike thus we don't expect you people to feel it.

YOU PEOPLE ARE ENEMIES OF PROGRESS

smile11s:
Nigeria must remain happy people that wants change. And that is what GEJ is offering us

For the future, we must support GEJ

There is no instant change

It is gradual

Even the USA passed thru the Great Depression

You must be capital M.U.M.U

The same  USA that told you people to remove subsidy while their mimmum wage is 200,000 naira when compared to Nigeria of 18,000 naira

Na wa ooo we indeed have cow brains in Nigeria

what a shame

kpogede77:

Why do you panic? why are you against haj-harem? we want Nigeria to burn to give us three end product O,A and B, any body who can facilitate it is much appreciated. Please direct your anger to Boko Haram not Haj Harem. If you know you have properties in the north that you value more than your life, get yourself a very new AK47 and 2RPGS for your personal security. We advised you all to sell your properties and relocate to the south last year. The real war has not started, when the war start proper, we will wear our army uniform and mount our check point, let see how they will fight us in our land and succeed. We don't fight and run like Boko Haram

Thank you. Are you minding the mumu
