@coogar, there were some he indeed makeup. I just don't have a record of all his words.

@dilluminati, i know but me omitting that they attacked WTC was an error.

@Peedavinci, before the Government gets to buy the confidence of these people you mentioned hundreds of people will have been killed more.

In as much as i dont support dialogue with terrorists. I just think we should let them come forward and give them a listening ear. If the FG can give them what they request for without inconveniencing itself and its citizens, fine and if they cant then they should use all they have to crush them. Dont forget that America could afford to combat terrorism because the terrorists were not Americans and the terrorists were just about carryin out attacks on America and its citizens on American soil. They could checkmate it because they had the manpower, firepower, resources and intelligence. But as for Nigeria, they dont have the intelligence and these terrorists are Nigerians and are supported by some state Governments and highly placed Nigerians thereby making the fight against these terrorist yield no positive results.

That guy was so funny with the way he mentioned countries, cities and towns that dont exist. Its sad he's gone.

Mr. President wants to dine with the devil on the same table. I'll advise he go and get a long spoon make im no hear GBOSA on im head!

Are we even sure it has risen at all and if it has, how are we sure its by that amount stated by NOI. Or they are just playing to the gallery by trying to make us support Total Subsidy removal. I find it hard believing the government and this their statistics.

@ujchief. Thanks, u need not say more but indirectly u mean they are now our president?

I know its not his fault but the guy too is not even helping himself. Therefor he doesnt deserve sympathy. And which one is CABALISM again o?

When Abati a well known government critic accepted to serve the FG, he was accused of selling out when he switched camp. Oshiomole who always fought the FG when he was NLC President too was accused of joining the said government he fought when he became Governor. Given Shuaibu's place in the ACN. Accepting an offer from a PDP led Government will make him appear has a coward and someone who has no principles so He hasnt done any wrong by rejecting the offer made by the FG.

Shut up! Since tuesday evening, petrol as been selling in lagos for N97 without a single kobo added to it and it is never going to be sold beyond that price unlike SE & SS!

@GeneralGEJ (i guess ure the fake retardeen). Pls tell Jonathan, he is so weak he has no balls or just one ball(s)!

@ rhymz, they have started selling at N97. I bought this morning and when the whole issue dies down, they will never sell above N97 not even N97.01!

See how weak he is. He's apologising to Western Foreign Diplomats but he's not apologising to us Nigerians for the inconviniences his decision has/will cause(d) us.

I thought the SS & SE were in support of Subsidy removal that was why they refused to protest when we were all protesting just because fuel sold in their zone above N65. Didnt they realise that If pump price officially rises from N65 to N97 they will always pay above that? And if they dont know, inaccesible roads is the major reason why they will always pay more than the official pump price for petrol. They should have used that avenue to make their grievances known but they kept quiet. Serves them right!

Its still the same set of people that has been ruling Nigeria for the past 40 years and you will still find them in PDP, ACN, CPC, ANPP or APGA. We need someone with good leadership qualities who has singlehandedly excelled in his or her own chosen field/profession/business without benefitting from any government in power and has no relationship or alliance with the aforementioned political parties. If you vote for any of these political parties, you are still voting for the same people that have ruined Nigeria and sadly come 2015 people will still vote for them because of illiteracy, religion, sentiments or ethnicity.

Occurences of last week was a defining moment in Nigeria's history. It now seems NLC cant defend Nigerians from The Government again. SNG should continue the protests and bring all the untreated issues to the doorstep of the Government.

People of South South should stop tribalising this issue. President Jonathan like any other past president is always going to be criticised. I believe they should be aware of that. Obasanjo was not voted for by his people and when in office he was greatly criticised and even abused, his people didnt bring heaven down. Yar adua too was criticised for being sick and the way his illness was handled. Now the people came out in droves to criticise Yar adua government and ensured Jonathan was sworn in as Acting President are now the ones criticising him because of the policy which majority of the people feel its not in their interest and people of the Niger Delta are now complaining that people in the West and North should leave him alone and shouldnt criticise him. His he the President of Niger Delta or President of Nigeria?? Did he win with SE and SS votes alone?? So why cant the people of Nigeria criticise him like they have done to other Presidents from other zones without you people screaming blue murder??

@ Bamosagie, A Government for the people by the people meaning the MAJORITY. Is Boko Haram majority or minority?? So why should govt yield to Boko Haram?

In DEMOCRACY,the majority always win. Those against subsidy removal are more than those in support of subsidy removal which automatically makes those against subsidy removal winners. If the Government then decides to ignore the majority, the majority shouldnt let them rest until their mandate is given to them. So therefore, PENGASSAN should join in the strike and help in finally shutting Nigeria down this will arm twist the government and make them yield to the people.

As reported in The Saturday Punch Newspaper 14/01/12 that Allision Madueke is the brain behind subsidy removal on 01/01/12 without the knowledge of other cabinet members. It is also reported that Governors and 2 Female Ministers (Madueke and Okonjo-Iweala) are the ones advising the President not to backdown by yielding to the demands of NLC/TUC so as not to appear weak. I guess both are in this just to test their might and we go round the circle without reaching a conclusion. But i thought they said DEMOCRACY is a Government for the People and by the People so If the masses which make up majority of the people say NO to the Government, i believe they should listen to them since we are practising DEMOCRACY and not DICTATORSHIP.

This theory just makes GEJ look more like a puppet. It doesnt add up at all.

Sadly, CORRUPTION which has been the root of all evil in Nigeria isnt discussed by the Government but only subsidy removal which will help in the elimination corruption only in the Petroleum Industry is the only one discussed. Dont you think that the corruption that exists in other sectors and areas of life in Nigeria will eat up the proceeds gained from subsidy removal??

If its political, it was caused by FG (PDP). People in SW, NW, NE, NC and even SS, SE are angry because of this necessary but untimely policy but because of sentiments majority of the people in SS and SE have refused to protest just because he his from the zone. So if the President does something wrong others shouldnt protest?

This is damning revelation! The House of Representatives should take this up. Government in its effort to cover up corruption has resulted to spin efforts spear headed by them on the inconsistencies by public officials and the distorting of facts to deceive and confuse Nigerians on the issue at stake. The Government should be brought to its knees on the account of this.

Just because 150 million Nigerians are not on the street doesnt mean they are happy with him. If you care to know, majority of Nigerians are unhappy with him because of his actions and inactions. It was mainly sentiments that got him there in the first instance but with the way things are going, people are having a change of mind and i dont pity him AT ALL!

@ dmainboss, you must be the one in dreamland. Who told you that GEJ has the main punch? He his the one that put himself in this situation because he seems to be clueless and cant figure things out for himself. Goodluck may take you there but it may not keep you there. How about If South west, North East, North West, some North Central & South East and even some South South (Oshiomole and Sylvia connection) Senators decide to move against him? At the end of the day he may not leave but he may end up BADLY BRUISED & BURNT.

In as much as we are being too harsh on Pres. Jonathan, he has not helped himself in the first instance and he has only himself to blame. If majority of the people that put him there, say they dont want a particular policy just because it doesnt favour them then he should yield to their demands and if he refuses then impeachment proceedings can be carried out against him.

But dont forget that the Govt too has sponsored propaganda against the people in many ways an example of it is them telling us that Nigeria's economy will collapse in 5 years if fuel subsidy is not removed but you and i believe that is not true. So if we do this in retaliation, then i consider it fair play. This is high level politics, this is a battle of wits.

I think the issue about the shipment of 1100 buses into Nigeria in just 2 days is a lie but dont forget that anything is possible. How about if they order from a thousand suppliers? Though i believe that FG cant do that. To know if this information is True of False, we need to investigate by checking out the paperwork for the supply of these buses.

Though he looked a bit off pace, i guess he hasnt forgotten how to score.
