If people ar sincere they suld protest against bokoharam and NOT against subsidy removal!

If people are sincere we SHOULD PROTEST AGAINST BOTH !!!!!

we are not protesting against the removal of fuel subsidy but the implementation and the required things not in place.

More over if the price of fuel remains at 140-250 naira, then boko haram is just the beginning of our wahala

[quote author=reporter? link=topic=838107.msg9908081#msg9908081 date=1325863034]Dude,

Stop distorting the truth. Royal Niger is NOT the same thing as Nigeria the nation.
Everyone knows that Nigeria depended on cocoa from the SW and  groundnuts from the North for foreign earnings prior to indepedence. Central Bank of Nigeria data also confirms that assertion. 


"Like most economies prior to any full-scale industrial revolution, the pre independence Nigerian economy was based on agriculture. During the 19th century when Britain was moving from an agriculturally based economy to an industrial one, Nigeria thrived on its agricultural trade and its traders were recognized for their astuteness throughout West Africa.

During the 1950s, agriculture retained its position as the biggest contributor to the Nigerian economy. As at 1957, 60% of the nation's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was earned by peasant agriculture. Agriculture accounted for over 75% of Nigeria's export during the pre-independence era.

[size=18pt]Also, the nation depended on her agriculture for up to 95% of local food consumption. [/b]By 1959, cocoa had become Nigeria's biggest single foreign exchange earner. Nigeria also claimed the title of being one of the three biggest producers of groundnuts in the world. [b]There was also a high production in both cash and subsistence crops like rubber, which accounted for roughly 6% of total exports in late 1950s, coffee, cotton, millet, guinea-corn, beans, yam, maize, cassava and rice.
[/size]
Agriculture started to lose its importance in the development of the nation's economy from the first few years of independence due to the discovery of crude oil in large quantity. For example, the share of agriculture in the GDP fell from 53% in 1960 to about 34% in 1974. Since then, agriculture has stagnated, partly due to government neglect and poor investments and partly due to ecological factors such as drought, disease, and other related factors. By the mid-1990s, agriculture's share of exports had declined to less than 5%."

APELE- ENRAGED youths, numbering over 2,000, armed with battleaxes, cutlasses and other dangerous weapons went on rampage, Friday, sacking and inflicting injuries on over 50 Muslims at the Hausa quarters, Sapele in Sapele Local Government Area of Delta State.

A northern security guard was shot dead in a separate incident by a gang of armed robbers that attacked a school in Sapele on Thursday.

Vanguard gathered that the youths were incensed by the uninhibited attacks on churches and killing of Christians in the northern part of the country by the Islamic Boko Haram sect.

Two of the persons suspected to have carried out the onslaught were, however, arrested by the police in Sapele.

There was pandemonium following the attack on Muslims, who were ordered to vacate the town in their own interest since Boko Haram members had also issued ultimatum to Christians to leave the north.

Secretary of a Muslim Media group in Sapele, Sadiq Oniyesaneyene Musa who spoke to Vanguard on the attacks by Sapele youths said, “We are disturbed by this attack on Muslims in Sapele and the order that all Muslims in Sapele should return to the north. I am a Muslim and an Itsekiri from Delta state, where do they want me to go to, this is my homeland”.

Musa said the youths besieged Muslims in the town very close to the mosque that was bombed, last year, and injured a lot of faithful.

“We called the director of the State Security Service, SSS, Asaba and the Area Commander and they responded. The Joint Task Force, JTF, on the Niger-Delta also deployed soldiers to take care of the situation”, he said.

Nigeria shall outlive GEJ and his cohorts.[/quote]wandooooo it is NOT GEJ but his advicers

GEJ loves Nigeria but his advicers are doing him a great disservice

coogar:
the federal government should send military men to borno state and raze 5 villages.

Haba why should they kill the innocent ?

the FG should send the military to borno so as to find out who the boko haram people are.

they should do a good search and arrest of any boko bast.,ards in Nigeria

Bliss4Lyfe:
2015 all will be reflected in the electoral register with this depopulation the northerners are perpetrating on Christians Middle-belters and Southerners.

It is not Northerners. Stop this, it is a political move and people should be blaming their government for not protecting the people instead of blaming northerners.

Yesterday a yoruba man was beaten almost to death in ebonyi. Is it South-easterners fault or the government.

Security issue is a Nigerian/FG problem. haba

Lets all call our government to order so they can ensure people are safe ALL OVER THE COUNTRY NO MATTER THE ETHNCITY OR RELIGION. Nairaland should not blind you to the reality.

[quote author=Chyz* link=topic=840351.msg9908026#msg9908026 date=1325862706]Frosbel, I have noticed how you are trying to spread stories to pin Ndigbo against others for the sake of getting us to begin another war. You are not a nigerian and I suspect you are working for a foreign gov thats trying to disintegrate nigeria.  As long as you continue this I will be encouraging my people against going the way you want by all means.[/quote] Gbammm well said.

The government MUST investigate this. It is wrong for anybody to wake up and kill people anyhow.

Pure, unadulterated madness.

yes pure madness

that is PDP government for you

More Anger in DELTA STATE

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 in their hundreds. The take-off point was Effurun roundabout.

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.”

frosbel:
I am beginning to agree that this maybe political.

If this was a Northern thing , thousands would have died by now !!

This is a pin pointed killing to spark outage and chaos


I might be totally wrong though .

Thousands have died already

yes we should be asking the commisioner of police, FG, and other security agencies what they are doing about Boko haram.

Or does the government not know those behind it ? Who are they decieving ?

Boko haram said Christians should leave the north, THE FG DID NOTHING

Boko haram killed people in Mosque, Churches etc you name it. They are evil and I AS A MUSLIM can never EVER SUPPORT SUCH ORGANISATION.

Nigerians should come together and fight Boko Bast.ards

Bliss4Lyfe:
Christians are Igbo are they not?  

My sister, take heart  . I can assure you that nigeria is not longer in the 1960s where tribalsim was killing us. No NORTHERNER SUPPORT BOKO HARAM even No nigerian support Boko haram.

We should stick together and fight boko haram.  

After the protest, Nigerians should come together against boko haram

Gbawe:
@Alj Harem.

My brother, take your time OOO !!!! Which one you dey now? Why try and pass off pictures of Somalia as Delta State? No SS/SE State is protesting so take your propaganda elsewhere. Only the "parasitic" and "lazy phucks" Yorubas and Fulani "owners of Nigeria" are protesting and we know why.

Love the sarcasm. I am so happy that edo and delta are not going in for the cheap sentimental propaganda from Bigots like Beaf and co.

We are in this cesspit of a Nation together and as such we should unite for the best intreaset of the people.

Next protest is for the FG to make such effort are taken to clean up delta, baleysa and rivers state oil spill. If not another protest go begin.

Kudos to wafi people. Warri no dey carry last at all at all !!

1. I hope it is not true

2. If true, Northerns MUST STAND UP AGAINST BOKO HARAM

3. THE Fg should send the military there to make sure this Boko haram people are caught !!!!!
