TRUTHTELA:
Some RETARDS that sold their conscience to VOTE for Jonathan, suddenly want everyone to share in their mess, for all I care, no TRIBE in Nigeria can talk TRASH about Igbos, Igbos had mind of their own long before the white man came to RESCUE the rest of the MORONS from their KINGS, OBA's, Emirs , etc, When other tribes a re busy postrate for a white man, ABA, WOMEN were the FIRST & ever to challenge the white man's POLICIES thru riot " ABA WOMEN RIOT,1929". Igbos are REPUBLICAN in NATURE & nobody will change them. FYI, some people BETRAYED the Igbos during the CIVIL WAR, they were policy makers, ministers & all worth not, against the Igbo's, After the war, Igbo's learnt the lesson ONE TRIBE THOUGHT THEM, on how to play the SPOILER. Somebody was an active SPOILER/ SELLOUT/ TRAITOR/ money lover etc, for Gowon. Igbo's will not rule Nigeria, but Igbo's ( Ngozi Iweala )will alwz make policies that you all will SUFFER & SUFFER from. My point is, your TRIBE will rule, but your tribe will still be WORSE off. When the time comes, we'll count SCORES. Your tribe is not buying fuel @ 65 & SE is buying @ 200. You ruled Nigeria, yet you are on 24/7 darkness with the Igbos that did not rule, that goes to show you that something is wrong somewhere. Until JUSTICE prevails, Y'all will forever be in PAIN & ANGUISH. It's nature, not MAN.

well said

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-837985.0.html

talk true:
Majority of the people protesting in those areas mentioned are Igbos.

this is what I like to hear. We are one people

Now I would like to here protest in Onitsha and co so that the FG can here our demands loud and clear.

NLC is for Nigerians not for the SW/SS and the North alone.

Perhaps you dont have sufficient brain to remember Arishikola Alao,Ebenezer Babatope,Shina peters and Dbanj.

and did they support the removal of fuel subsidy ?

maybe it is u that is does not have brain at all

TRUTHTELA:
@Alj_Harem, yea, you all should protest and reap the benefit of your protest when Govt. reverse to the old price in all the regions, except SE. Typical of Nigerians, they will will not focus on PROTEST & SUBSIDY Issues, they will been pointing a ROTTEN finger on the wrong side, whoever is in POWER WILL ALWZ have someone to do the dirty job, D-banj, sold out & supported Jonathan, Olu Jacobs, Wole Soyinka, sold out by serving in IBB's govt, Alex Akinyele, was once IBB's MIS-information minister, who did the dirty job for the Hausa/fulani against Awolowo in the 60's? Arisekola, supported Abacha, cos of what? (OWO ), Adedibu, alwz do the dirty job for AGIP, bOLA iGE, betrayed NADECO by joining the PDP, govt. Obasanjo did the Norherners BID numerous times, should I GO ON? My guy they are in EVERY TRIBE. So, big up!!!

My brother, we are saying the samething. That is why I am wondering why some nairalanders are making it a yoruba/hausa/fulani afire when WE ALL WOULD BE PAR-TAKERS OF THIS REMOVAL.

Yes I know they are in every tribe, I am not trying to exclude the SE but goons on Nairaland are doing it themselves.

We were here when Sanusi (my main man) supported the removal I was shocked

so it has nothing to do with ethnicity but beaf, dmainboss, ejire, pointb etc are saying South-east should not join in the protest and no igbo should join etc. Thus they tribalsied it themselves.

JayJohnson:
You all got it wrong, we (Igbo) are the cheapest tribe that can be bought over!!

Bros, Igbos are not cheap. This is the time to act that you have a mind of ur own and cannot be brought over any how. It has nothing to do with ethnicity but the untold hardship to come.

Pure water in Akoka not is 20 Naira from 5 naira.

Orobo (50ml) cola which use to be 50 naira is not 150 naira

Demdem:
pls where and when will that be? i have to be there. still have no info. For now PH seems to be calm

ah my brother once I am sure of the time and location, I would post it here.

some are saying protest to soon begin in port harcourt

Please can you confirm

gidiMonsta:
Let me remind the goons of NL (beaf = pointB, ejine and the rest) that those of us protesting in Lagos are not just Yorubas, we have Ibos. Ijaws and Hausas who are tired of the inhumane treatment given to us by the spineless oaf in Aso rock, who yanked the rug of subsidy from under our feet without giving us a chance to adjust our budgets. I am very sure you do not believe the nonsense you spew here except you are entirely devoid of conscience.

People will stand up for their rights no matter their religious or tribal affiliations, Hon. Dino Melayo is not a westerner neither is he a Northerner, @omojuwa and @egghead are examples of SS brodas standing up against tyranny, wake up beaf b4 what happened to Ghaddafi becomes child's play compared to what is coming to you and your useless boss.

BTW Onitsha will join #occupyNigeria tomorrow and i am very sure PH is warming up too.

thank you my brother

don't tribalise protest against fuel subsidy. We are one people

SE do not be left out

oludyke:
I'm Igbo and proud to be Igbo.  I really wonder why many of my kinsmen take pleasure in doing the hangman's job.  In 1993 it was ABN led by Arthur Nzeribe while Chukwumerije was the minister of 'mis'information. In 1996, it was late Kalu of YEAAA and now another Igbo man.  No wonder other parts of Nigeria see ndigbo as greedy no principled people.  It is pathetic.  This fight against fuel subsidy removal will definitely be won by we the masses of Nigeria.  The likes of what is that his name again, Uche? will bury their heads in shame.  Vox populi Vox Dei.

Nwannem I understand and believe when I tell you it is not doing Igbos any favour or what so ever

There is protest in

SW- Lagos, Oyo, Ogun

NW- kano, Sokoto

NE- Adamawa

NC- Kwara, Abuja, Nasarawa, beune, Kogi

SS- Rivers, Benin-city(edo) and bayelsa

SE- Infact they support it. I don't understand

It seems that SE politicians are enemy of progress and are not part of NLC (NIGERIA LABOUR CONGRESS)

This move would greatly affect any presidential ambition for the SE 2015. FACT !!!!

My brother, my advice for you is to live that SE region and travel to SS or SE or North to safe ur self from the hardship to come

I have seen people mostly for the South-eastern region trying to tribalise a sensitive issue such as the protest against fuel subsidy. They view it as an attempt by the South-west, North-west, North central, North east, and South-South to remove GEJ out of office.

I would like to urge my fellow Nigerians most especially the Igbos to NOT TRIBALISE this issue. I have seen South-Southers from delta , edo, bayelsa, rivers and cross river protesting against fuel subsidy. Why are my Igbo brothers and sisters in the South-east quite about it and even worse trying to call it a hausa/fulani/yoruba protest.

We all are one people and fuel price at 141 Naira would affect everyone regardless of zones or ethnicity. Please and Please, lets live the past behind us and do the right thing. GEJ does not represent any ethnic group but his own people who are the cabals milking Nigeria dry till this very day.

Lets not de destroy the country further because of ethnocentric reasons best know to you people.

karl max:
If there isd no subsidy then why are Ʊ protesting?

The SE\SS won't protest cos fuel has neva been subsidied in those areas they buy fuel 150 per litre when there was subsidy, So it makes no diff to them

WE ARE PROTESTING BECAUSE OF THE INCREMENT OF FUEL SINCE THERE IS NO SUBSIDY. THUS WHERE WOULD THE EXTRA MONEY FROM THE INCREMENT GO ? WHAT IS IT MEANT FOR ? AND WHY.

freecocoa:
And I say it will never be well with GEJ and his cohorts,though he may not read.

shey you no fit answer again ?

or you just throw allegation against a group of people anyhow as you deem fit

rhymz:
SE/SS are also affected by the hardship and are complaining. People should stop making baseless assertions, the SE/SS are as well assessing the situation on ground and are as well going to come out with their own action but there has to be a clear purpose of what we hope to achieve. Is not by protesting and tearing down properties but by coordinated efforts. Events are still unfolding, let us not move faster than our shadows.

God bless you. Rhymz, at the end of the day we are all in the mess together. This is the point we should join hands and fight against a common enemy which is CORRUPTION because there is nothing like fuel subsidy. All this is just to milk us dry.

I am also waiting for an answer.

Beaf:
Thanks for clarifying our thoughts. Why do you think Yoruba and Fulani people should be the "owners of Nigeria?" Why would a sane person mock those who expressed otrage at boko haram murderous activities? Why would you hail boko harams stomach for blood as the tactic for kingship, and then mocking their victims?

You are deceiving yourself only with your forked tongue. But now we know what there is an ethnic agenda to the subsidy demonstrations as revealed by one who admires the murderous boko haram.

Hey why are you changing his words in the wrong context

these were his words

"must head in without consulting olodos like you. Why will your inferiority complex not lead you to believe I am talking about "Yoruba and fulani people"? What a fool !!! "

so why are you being such a bigot. Can you have a decent discussion for once without being tribalistic ?

Beaf, it shows your mentality about Nigerians.

You see, you are using propaganda to appear that you are for the people and I must admit I feel for it at one time in the past. I know your truth personality (at least on Nairaland) and how you have deceived our south-eastern brothers to think otherwise ( of course because they were insecure as well).

Well I give it up to you. You have done well, but know something that nothing is permanent.

[quote author=Ejiné link=topic=837167.msg9883859#msg9883859 date=1325556133]Tribalist? Phew. Okay pal. Now I can see what sort of conversation you're really hoping to have with me, but unfortunately for you and your wild imaginations, that won't be happening. So this will be my last reply to you, after which every single post from you to me will be permanently ignored for as long as I stay on this site, whether they're friendly or not.  
As for Ogun, well, consult your BlackBerry if you have one. The messages have been floating around since yesterday.

As for your every-tribe-is-in-Lagos, I say - How does that have anything to do with my first post, or did you see me mention any tribes there? Or is it just from your desperation to keep this conversation going? Well, I've lost interest anyway.

And finally, on your empty tribalism allegation, I ain't complaining really, cuz it's the internet anyway, and believe me, your opinion is not one I'll be caring about in a billion years to come, so abeg bros, go siddon jor.[/quote]You know I find it funny the way you said " this is last post". My friend or should I say fellow Nigerian, I would am not stopping you from posting or not posting. It is an online forum and thus you are free to do whatever you like.(Just wanted to remind you before you get carried away).

Now what is all the "billion years" about. You are making no sense.

You came here telling us about a section or a geographical section of the country not protesting with others and yet you are trying to appear an open minded person ? Don't you think that is childish of you to do so ?

My brother good night but I would like you let you ponder on those words I said to you. Thanks

Ogbonaikenna:
@alh_haren, What makes the SS different from others is because it has been shown through genetic analysis that we are brothers. Go and make your own research.

Now I would prefer Niger-deltans apart from the tribalist such as yourself (no offence) Beaf and anyother South-easterner posing as a South-Southern not to speak on behalf of South-Southerners. You deplete them as unintelligent and less of a human being by speaking for them and dragging them into every discussion as if they have no mind on there own. Let me remain you that NO SOUTH-SOUTHERNER is A SECOND CLASS CITIZEN TO ANYONE MOST ESPECIALLY AN IGBO MAN. NO SOUTH-SOUTHERNER WOULD BE A SECOND CLASS CITIZEN IN BAIFRA OK.

Genetic analysis was actually carried out and it was found out that 5 groups in the SS are more closely related to the Yoruba/Nigerians than your so called group

These groups are as followed

Ijaw/Kalabari

Itsekiri

Bini/Edo

Urhobo/Isoko

Ilaje

so I don't see where you are coming from.

[quote author=Ejiné link=topic=837167.msg9883815#msg9883815 date=1325554708]Okay cool. I consider myself a realist, really, so for that reason, where you come from doesn't really matter to me (cuz we're all Nigerians and have no control over it); but it's we're you're going I'll pay attention to.

Now, on the discussion:

You know what? Let Lagosians and Ogunites (the two states who've shown interest in protesting) carry on with the march tomorrow, and we Niger-Deltans promise to give you our utmost support. . . Errr. . . From behind our TV sets, that is.

Right, Beaf? [/quote]Well I am a realist as well so we are not too different ( if I may say). Yes you brought up the issue of the region you are from and all I did was to point out to you that I am also from the SS and from the dominate group in the SS.

Yes now we can discuss.

I can't recall Ogun planning a protest. I would not mind if you can provide a source for your claim. Yes Lagos there would be protest and it comprises of all groups from all regions. You see, the way you construct your words makes you a tribalist. I would like to pose this question to you. Who are the Niger-deltans ? Are they not Nigerians ? If yes then I believe they would protest as well.

Now I would prefer Niger-deltans apart from the tribalist such as yourself (no offence) Beaf and anyother South-easterner posing as a South-Southern not to speak on behalf of South-Southerners. You deplete them as unintelligent and less of a human being by speaking for them and dragging them into every discussion as if they have no mind on there own. Let me remain you that NO SOUTH-SOUTHERNER is A SECOND CLASS CITIZEN TO ANYONE.

Thanks for your time and log in with other username as you please.

the owners of Nigeria are those finding opportunity to tribalise everything to there advantage

can we rest now ?

[size=13pt]Gbawe, who are the "owners of Nigeria?"[/size]

the owners of Nigeria are those finding opportunity to tribalise everything to there advantage

Ogbonaikenna:
The SS are more clever now. They now know who their brothers are. You can't separate us cos blood is thicker than water

funny people.

fuel subsidy = brother/ tribe/ ethnicity/ region/

what are you people talking about ? If you people are not born tribalist, why do you always tribalise things ?

Are you people this sick and bitter for real ?

Now who are the SS, Nigerians or Biafrans since you keep refering to them as brothers and what makes them different from others or others are enemies ?

Beaf:
Abeg, don't mind all those clowns jare! Let them continue to peep in and think their weak argument account for anything.
Me? I will watch their "revolution" fizzle out on TV.

who are the clowns ?

you are making life harder for Nigerians and you do not expect protest ?

you must be the joker here. really

[quote author=Ejiné link=topic=837167.msg9883760#msg9883760 date=1325553474]I guess I forgot to mention I'm from Ndokwa L.G.A. of Delta State. And you know what that means, bruv? Yeah, it means I'm from that SS you just mentioned.

Nonetheless, my statement was made from gauging the opinion clouds in both regions and summing it up. And another thing you have to take note of, pal, is that I do not support the removal of subsidies. Reading my previous posts coupled with a few seconds of introspection would have made that clear.

PS: I am not an internet tribal knight, so kindly respect yourself and keep your sweeping conclusions within the confines of your mind. Thanks.[/quote]story story. a beg go tell ignorant people that not ME. Ok

yeah I am also from baylsa thus I am  A south-southern so what are u talking about. Forget my I.D I am from brass island in bayalsa state and I can tell you my household and street.

Now that is said. Good to know u never supported fuel subsidy.

Now I expect protest in the SS and SW for obvoius reason because they are Nigerians just like me and would know what the masses are going through

Yes I do not expect protest in the SE for obvious reasons which is best known to them or people like you.

Nemeziz9ja:
Its because of posts like this and comments from die-hard "subsidy" removal supporters that I always stay away from commenting on Nairaland but prefer to read from the sidelines, shake my head and wonder when we will be able to make a distinction between literate and educated Nigerians. Most of the commentators here are from privileged background and benefit from the rot in the system that has made an average working Nigerian a disenfranchised entity in their own land. For those that are touting removal of Fuel subsidy as the panacea to our economic problems; I have some questions and will appreciate responsible answers -
* Is it only crude oil that is the natural resource we have in this country to generate foreign exchange?
* Since the '80s when the man from Minna started removing subsidy by SAPPING us with MAMSER and giving BETTER LIFE to their cronies, what have they done with the windfall in terms of sound economic policies?
* What exactly is the subsidy if the Federal Government that benefits from the activities of the "NNPC" could not utilize the income earned over the past 25+ years constructively such that an average Nigerian has to run generator for at least 6 hours in a working day? The minimum wage has not increased in almost 10 years even though the same set of politicians making noise about the economy are the same set of people running the economy aground with unrealistic emoluments?
I find it very sad that Nigerians in the diaspora that claim to be technocrats are not better than Nigerians trying to survive in the system at home in terms of avarice and lack of integrity. There is no amount of grammar that Okonjo-Iweala will speak to make me change my mind about their league. For starters, if she had really wanted to make a difference, she should have returned to UI after her graduate study in the US and lecture like her Dad and show that she understands what it means to live and survive in Nigeria but people coming home after living a padded life in the US to come and take appointment as minister during Obasanjo regime where they supposedly paid up Nigeria's debt and lined their own pocket with huge consultancy fees are just political jobbers. Now, she is here again and the problem is we need to remove subsidy to do the things that my tax should have been used for in the first place.
Bravo to GEJ and his team for succeeding with the fuel hike using subsidy removal as a front. Now, more oil blocs will be allocated to their fronts and cronies, more crude exporting will be done and at the end of it all, we will still have them come to us in a few years with promise to repair the roads, build healthcare facilities, farm more lands and so on without a single refinery working.
I have always said we Nigerians have irresponsible leaders but totally useless and undependable followership. The unfortunate reality of this is that we live in denial and compensate with self-preservation and superficial religiosity while waiting for our statuses to change from "followership" to "leadership" and we then continue the venal cycle. So Sad.

bros, i know but sometimes it is too painful to watch

supporters of subsidy removal a majorly bigots on nairaland

you see they view it and ethnic thing. from beaf to other goons

Nadanbata:
Why Do SE love grouping SS with them. Na by force? Then again it is an Igbo president oo

hmmm

i dey watch u
