you are silly and equally an eediot! what a terrible combination! How many times have Nigerians had the opportunity of dialoging with the govt that yielded results? when sanusi spoke about the incredible amount that these political holders receive, how was that addressed? immediate trial of past who and who? I laugh in swahili. I think u r not in Nigeria, may be your in Planet Mars cos u spk like a slowpoke.

thank you my brother, we are saying something some of this people are saying another

I mean can't they see this is an opportunity to ask why our security forces look when people are being killed ?

we indeed have retar.ds in this country

stiyke:
@Alj_harem,
Your post on this thread says lets fight subsidy first and later fight boko haram. Its an easy statement to make when none of yours has been killed! Remember this: pump price of fuel can always be altered, Government can tomorrow make it to become 70naira a litter by various means, but Government can never bring back to life a single soul that has been killed by Boko Haram
I say lets unite and fight boko haram now, and talk about subsidy later!

Yes sir you are absolutely right. Occupy nigeria against boko haram was coming soon anyway there is no denial. Everyone has a right to feel safe in any part of the country from islands in lake chad to the last Nigerian Island in Lagos

Now it has always been a momentum thing. Right now part of the protest against subsidy removal is also against Boko haram. You can check the protesters pics.


Since the people have starting asking the government questions now, let push our demands for the end of Boko haram as well that is the whole idea

dayokanu:
You cant blame anyone for choosing to live in any part of his country

Its the failing of the govt to provide security that should be addressed.

We are one country like Azikwe wanted us to be, Until we separate, then no one can stop the other from living anywhere

hey, my point is not on fasholas political future but on the fact that there simply is no free meal any where, somebody somewhere pays the price, what is the price we pay for government running the down stream sector,
Big govt = big corruption,
small govt = small corruption
how do u achieve small govt, govt gets of of peoples way, allow free enterprise and market forces to prevail, govt concentrates on policy and regulation, external affairs, and a few others,

Govt is big when they run your down stream, upstream, schools, hospitals, railways, roads, why is this logic so damn difficult to understand, o i remember, the non tribalistic marketers from the SW must be instigating you to feel govt has to supply you your pms cheaply or die in droves,

For the last time what i am saying is that, the penduleun has swung the way of labour and the opposition now, what are they to do with it now, fight for free fuel or hold govt by the balls on reducing cost of governance

if it is to fight for cheap fuel which is not my birth right, count us ss out, you are with you marketers over there in lagos, please fight your own fight, if that is being a tribalist, then thank you very much

1. You are NOT SS

2. I am done with you, I cannot be engaging in such tribalsic pettiness when I KNOW YOU PEOPLE ARE ABOUT TO MAKE ONE OF THE GREATEST MISTAKES OF YOUR LIFES JUST BECAUSE OF BIGOTRY AND TRIBALISM. no time for that.

thanks

lets assume i was igbo, whatg would it take to actually get a translation for you? Please follow my advise and reason out issues properly, chose what you should be fight now and what to let go,
if you knight and shining armor Fashola increased lasu school fees recognising that subsidised education is not an automatic birth right, but a previledge, i wonder what angle you r reasning from,

that is why I called you a tribalist and you have let bigotry cloud your reasoning

FASHOLA IS IN TROUBLE RIGHT NOW IN LAGOS

people are singing against Him , ACN, Tinubu, PDP and co

No one would be left out of this protest. LASU increase in tution fee is not the case, the case is the toll gate and other over bugeted things he had done.

The people of the SW and Middle belt are devoid of tribal sentiment and don't give a Fuuc,k if it is fashola or atiku

they are all the same

I would show you a video now for you to see that Nairaland or whatever you have in ur brain is not the reality on ground.

WAKE UP !!!!

Oil Palm in SE was the foremost source of revenue to Nigeria way back before Independence. Groundnut later came to the scene immediately 1960. Cocoa was more of SW thing, it was not more pronounced economically beyond SW.

ok we have heard, that is another issue.

Right now we should be coming together as One people to fight against corruption, injustice, boko haram, etc

@gbawe
Believe me your recent post is the dumbest I have seen on NL. Ever! I mean it. How could you see police trucks with warri inscribed on them, and you still blind your eyes of reasoning with a veil of ignorance, of biblical proportions. You are probably wasting bandwidth meant for more resourceful people. Pls sign out and pray for God's wisdom. You really need it. Intact I will go on my knees for you now! Nothing personal

And let me humbly tell you, whatever comes of Nigeria's parting, the SS will be the worse for it except maybe edo and drlta that are ancestrally related to yorubas. The SS will be worse than Iraq. The SE are hardworking and developed technologically. The SS?? Ha! I fear o. Before you think it, please let your governments really educate your people. You can be sure you guys there are not ready for self determination. It's boyloaf, government,GEJ. Deziani- warlords, opportunists and conmen that are your idols and role models. Only they will profit eventually. Think well o.

And please, save yourself the energy you expend o. Hating one tribe against the other. It's all the fault of the British. Any day Any time, even the British knew the yoruba's are way ahead any culture in West Africa and arguably in Africa, along Benin kingdom. And save your seething criticism of northerners! You can't even bunch them as they are multiethnic. They are hard working. They leave within their means. They may not be educated in western style but they have Arabic learning. And they have lots of small businesses. I doubt if their level of poverty will be different had Nigeria had no oil. It's their elite that are to blame for their woes.

Seek to correct yourself before you think of correcting others. Judge not, that you not be judged.

God bless

Labor should be fighting for better wages, improved working conditions and a fair reward system that bridges the gap between the political class and the common man.

better wages so inflation would go up  ? Yes truly Nigerians are very very clever.

alahaji boko haram,
unlike u who change your identity with each post, i have maintained my identity as an isoko from delta state, no shaking,
I refuse to sit aside and watch attempts to drag the rest of nigeria into this joke session being fostered by you and your cohorts on NL and other social  media,
GEJ made it clear that the road ahead was going to be tough and bumpy, even in the SW where the main marketers are from, buisness is going on as usual, 
I have told you the difference between fighting like headless chicken for cheap fuel which is not your birth right, and staging a fight that pressurises govt to reduce cost of governance,

Just say good bye to blanket subsidies, this is stage one, the next should be govt run companies, govt run schools, universities etc,
U want govt to be involved in all these things and at the same time be small? Come on men, use your head here, not your a5s.

By Daniel Idonor

ABUJA- United Nations, UN has commended President Jonathan for withdrawing the subsidy on petroleum products, describing it as “a bold and correct policy”.

Speaking during a visit to President Jonathan at the State House, Abuja, the Special Adviser to the United Nations’ Secretary General, Prof. Jeffrey Sachs, said the funds from the removal of subsidy would go a long way to rapid infrastructural development and the health sector.

Sachs also commended Nigeria’s president for his conditional grants to local governments for the implementation of the Millennium Development Goals, describing it as “one of the most innovative schemes of using national resources for local government development”.

Similarly, European Union, EU has said that it has confidence in Nigeria’s economic and political system.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Republic of Finland, Dr. Erkki Tuomoija, disclosed this while speaking to President Goodluck Jonathan during an audience at State House, Abuja. a

He stated that his country and most of Europe have confidence in Nigeria’s economy and political system.

“Your economy is doing very well, and many countries in Europe envy your growth figures”, he said, adding that “we have confidence in your democracy, and in your ability to deal with the terrorism and other challenges confronting you”.

Tuomoija described Nigeria as “a very important partner” and underlined the many similarities and views shared by the two countries on global issues in the United Nations and other multilateral for a, and assured President Jonathan of Finland’s continued cooperation.

Responding, President Jonathan said Nigeria was facing challenges, especially in the area of terrorism, and requested for technical assistance to check the menace.

i live in warri, i just drove around town, went to three banks on warri sapele road, visited samsung, stoped at a police check point the only one i saw, i drove from refinery road to airport road, passed through avenue road, buisness was going on as usual, my wife is presently at the market she celled me a few minutes ago, please how many warris do we have in nigeria? Apart from one check point on warri sapele road, i did see the scores of military and police personnel preventing people from protesting,

This commedy has now entered season 2 (fabrication of fanthom protesting crowds), just shows how low people will go to either continue enjoying what is definately not a right but a previlage or for marketers to continue exploiting the masses,

Well the major marketers are from the SW, people there should occupy their houses and landed properties, lets see if season 3 will be more interesting,

Some of you people are clowns

So you drove the WHOLE of warri from 8 am to now ?

Moreover what has the SW got to do what this ? ani't you a tribalist and a bigot ?

is warri SW now ?

I have told you Igbos to stay out of this, you people should listen to your leaders and stop acting like you are smarter than other Nigeria. It is better to pick a neutral stance than to be pro-government because GEJ is Igbo. Stop playing tribalistic sentimental games with people's emotions.

lastly explain this story to me or maybe you would tell me those protesters are SWerners

Stay out of the way. OK !!! don't play with people's emotion by adding bigotry to it. It is annoying and very EVIL for you to do

There were about 5 protest doing OBJ era funded by this same SWerners


Fuel subsidy protest spreads to Warri, Effurun

By Emma Amaize, Emma Arubi and Akpokona Omafuaire.

WARRI – THE protest against the removal of fuel subsidy expanded to Delta State, Friday, with members of the Nigeria Bar Association, NBA, and Committee for Defence of Human Rights, CDHR, grounding business and social activities in the twin cities of Warri and Effurun for more than four hours.

The protest is coming ahead the planned nationwide industrial action on Monday by Organized Labour.

The placard- carrying protesters were led by John Aikpokpo-Martins, Vice Chairman Warri NBA; Barrister Casely Omon-Irabor, Coordinator, Human Rights Defenders Organisation of Nigeria.

Sunny Enenuvwedia, President, CDHR; Pastor Edewor Egedegbe, President, Network for Positive Change; and Barr Benefit Orugbo, Chairman, CDHR Delta State.

They hit the streets of Warri and Effurun as early as 7.00 am[b] in their hundreds. The take-off point was Effurun roundabout.[/b]

Some of the placards bore inscriptions; “We want fuel subsidy” “Don’t play politics with our lives in Nigeria” “Okonjo Iweala should resign” “No to IMF policies” “Jonathan has failed us” “If Jonathan cannot rule, resign.”

Okada riders, market women and office workers who closed businesses and offices cheered the protesters as they chanted solidarity songs. Members of the various civil societies also joined in the protest as they march on.

In a proactive strategy, the Area Commander, ACP Abutu Yaro , led several police officers in providing escort for the protesters so that hoodlums would not take advantage to hijack the protest.

Addressing Deltans at Jakpa junction, John Aikpkpo-Martins, Vice Chairman, NBA, Warri said, “We members of the NBA protest today to say no to removal of fuel subsidy, we are fighting against oppression, this is not military rule, Okonjo-Iweala cannot dictate for us, she should resign, fuel price should be returned to N65.”

Also adding his voice, Sunny Enenuvwedia, President, CDHR said, “The president action is hasty. It is anti people, government should cut their bogus life style spending and there will be money for development.

“Why is it only the poor that must suffer? Enough of this rubbish, we want the decision to be rescinded immediately.”

E nice:
If you analyse the number of protesters so far compared with voters in these areas, you would no doubt come to the conclusion that these protests have failed. As the saying goes "minority will have their say but the majority will have their way". So ya all protesters, subsidy removal have come to stay. Guy, don't dwell on it, deal with it.

LOL another Mo.ron on the loose. Keep using bigotry to becloud ur judgement. I would not be surprise if you are beaf, sorry to say

Moreover the whole country is protesting so who are the majority if I may ask ?

The government can remove subsidy in the the eastern states not SW, NE, NW, NC and delta, edo

thank you

[size=18pt]Operation occupy Nigeria protest against Boko haram coming soon !!!!![/size]

oxford:
Thunder fire you and your generation for politicizing the death of innocent Nigerians! May your family die in similar circumstances for other to make a joke of it!

I forbid it

what warranted you out burst. I am on your side here. I am against killing of anybody and is why I said there should be protest of this sort of killings

It seems like some of you need medications.

[size=18pt]This looks like government handiwork to me, they are trying to divide us, so that we will not be able to stand together against them, we must resist this manipulation, NO TO FUEL SUBSIDY REMOVAL,[/size] NO TO GEJ, [size=18pt]NO TO PDP, Long Live the people of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.[/size]

Isrealbabs:
[size=18pt]This madness should be stopped! are there no government in Nigeria, those fools we elected are fighting for fuel subsidy to benefit the life of the masses they are killing? who is fooling who?[/size] the goverment goodluck is really a badluck for us. what are the northern elders do? they have started the fire they cant quench, i tell you nigeria has just started boiling. GOODLUCK SHOULD GO,

kingoflag:
Sure, I'm planning a huge, covert, attack and I'll risk it all by revealing my plans to the General Populace. So, why call it a "Secret Attack", then? Why not just invite our intended victims and say "Hey, tomorrow we're killing you, ok?"

Ok, lets look at it from another angle: They got threatened, they left, big deal. And thats if the story that they left is true. Who saw them leave? Not you, not me. Its a shame that even in this day and age of the Internet, rumors carry more weight among Nigerians than pictorial evidence.

The truth is GEJ's enemies/PDP are using these attacks to rile the public against each other. Open your eyes. Theres more to this than you see.

The problem is the black man is too lazy to "Think" or "Anticipate" "Probabilities". They think its all "GEJ order crack down on Boko Haram" and, boom, Boko-Haram will just disappear. "GEJ orders Cement prices to crash", "GEJ order this, GEJ orders that". What study was done, what Intel was gathered? Sentiments is what fuels the thoughts of most of you and therein lies the biggest problem of all, because the Politicians know this and they keep using it---and they'll keep using it--- till the country gets engulfed in flames. Then, they'll just hop on their private jets and fly to Switzerland and enjoy their stolen loot while you guys battle it out in another vicious round of Civil wars.

Look through this most recent story again: NO ONE HAS CLAIMED RESPONSIBILITY, SO WHAT INVESTIGATION COMPELLED THE LAZY POLICE CHIEF TO DETERMINE THAT THIS WAS AN ATTACK ORCHESTRATED BY BOKO-HARAM?!?

Like I said Open your eyes. Sometime, white is not really white if you look hard enough!!!

Or maybe PDP is doing it so it can get sentiment from the people

[quote author=Mai-suya link=topic=840351.msg9908269#msg9908269 date=1325864398][b]Although no justification for this and hopefully I will personally work towards starting a occupy Nigeria against bokoharam move ment. [/b]BUT

@frosbel, I am beginning to suspect what some are accusing you of! I may be wrong, when a thread is extremely going sentimental like kill all northerners, you stat posting things like I don't want a genocide against Muslims o.
On the other hand when pple start stating the obvious that this is a calculated effort to pitch north against south, you go like no this is all what all Muslims want religion of peace indeed bla bla bla.

My question is why r u being such a chameleon?

These guys have tried so hard to cause chaos first it was.
Killing Muslims scholars and Muslims during late 2010
Then it was targeting govt
Then it was targeting foreign agencies like UN
Then it was southerners
Then now Igbos

What do they want? And why are they so desperate to cause confusion, thank God so far no one has obliged them.

I call on all nigerians if we can show unity and come out against these pple (not to fight) but demonstrate aginst them to show them they are not welcomed both in north or south. Then perhaps we might prevail where our government securities failed.

But I must state my northern brothers need to take the initiative.[/quote]
