Why is Tinubu and the ACN party not protesting the fuel subsidy removal?
Why are they not on the streets?
Open your eyes: Wale Tinubu connection
Ordinary Nigerians who love to protest, please do so carefully with your minds and eyes screwed on well
Some goons are leading you to your graves. Don't be a sucker.

ACN governors and leaders secretly want subsidy removal. Hence they are not protesting it. They say something else in public to please their ignorant masses but do something else in secret. They were part of the governors forum that initiated the subsidy removal in the first place.

Aluksboy:
when d result of d strike is being acheived, wouldn't the south-east benefit from it.

And if the gains of subsidy removal begins to manifest, wouldn't the SW and North benefit?


And BTW, who said there was no protest in the SE? They simply were not unruly like the touts in the SW and N.

I thought Igbos are brave. . . I jam one here that is not! Nchara, I am willing to go if you will help me along the journey. Are you ready to help me along? You suggest suicide but you are not willing to help conclude it. Will your a s s help me do the suicide? silly okoro. . . na only for mouth una brave, when its time for action na so fear fear of blood. mumu!

I will beat you ofe mmanu boy any day. I beat many of your type when I was in Nigeria. Oloshi

RIP, but what was he protesting for? Why endanger your life unnecessarily in a mad country?

enitan2002:
I laugh when these easterners are saying the NLC didn't protest the killings by boko haram. Is there any correlation between boko and labour? simply no, so i dont expect anything from labour. Since, you people are claiming you lost more in numbers to boko, what efforts have you made at you end to protest this senseless killings? You always waiting for the westerners to spearhead this protest for you guys? why will you always like to be spoon-fed? Take the bull by the horn and protest against boko haram, or u can send your massob against them up there north.
Fact is, there is no tribe that didnt have casualties to boko, they have even killed more northerners than southerners since their campaign began.

I will always give a thumb-up for the yoruba race, people call us names like we dont speak with one voice. How do you expect a well learned set of people to speak with one voice, its simply not possible. We rose against IBB, against OBJ that is even our blood, we don't need any region to fight on our behalf. Lagos protest is alone to bring the whole nation to a standstill, what is even the contribution of the SE to the nation's GDP? You guys think highly of yourself, you think you gonna take after jonah in 2015? HAHAHA, am laughing really hard in mandarin. The serious ones among you know that simply ain't possible.

So far a nation called Nigeria still exist, and i still have a breath of life in me, we shall witness an ibo vice-president, let alone the presidency.

You should kill yourself, really.

Jenifa_:
if you want to see igbos protesting, just burn a statue of ojukwu. they will come out in droves

Didn't Yoruba kill themselves over the stupid statue of a suicidal awolowo? You no dey read paper again?

Lasinoh:
Peter Mbah. . . Pinnacle oil and gas.

Okay!! Thanks. But the fact that I do not know him (and I know many people/things ) makes him a very small cabal.

Jenifa_:
westerners and northerners are more active in civic society. and more patriotic nigerian citizens
easterners don't want to do anything in the name of Nigeria. they will prefer to fight and accuse other tribes than to fight and hold the government responsible.

No wonder both groups have misruled Nigeria and practically stole it blind. Useless, THIEVING groups.

It was ''occupy my village''. Village rats demonstrated today.

Lasinoh:
Booolsheet!
Good to know there are small cabals and big cabals.

Who is Mbah? Or are you an [b]adder [/b]of salt and pepper?

Wetin the man do them?

Protesters pelt Etsu Nupe’s palace with stones
By Our Reporter 5 hours 11 minutes ago

The palace of the paramount ruler of Nupe ethnic nationality, Etsu Nupe of Bida in Niger State, was yesterday pelted by protesters as the labour- organised protest against withdrawal of fuel subsidy turned violent in the ancient town.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) learnt that the protest started peacefully with members of the organised labour leading it.

But it was later hijacked by hoodlums, who reportedly vandalised the billboards in front of the monarch’s palace. They pelted the gate of the edifice, damaging it.

NAN also learnt that security agents went into action and contained the situation, dispersed the hoodlums from the area and effectively brought the protest in the town to an end.

Etsu Nupe’s Secretary, Alhaji Abdulmalik Usman, confirmed the story, saying: “It is true that the protesters vandalised some structures in front of the palace. The security agents have effectively handled the situation and everything has returned to normal in the town. People are now going about their usual businesses.”

sheyguy:
t

I see that you are now tongue-tied. WTF is t?

Lasinoh:
Ha!
Please, stop twisting things around. Nothing genuine about your post.
Like it or not. . . .it is gonna be bloody to get Nigeria back on track.
Going back to 65Naira a gallon in Naira is not the end of Nigeria's borrowing woes.
Good. .  . no protest in the SE. No one to lead you to the promised land since Ojukwu is gonna be buried next month.
No leaders. . . no followers.

And who said no protest in the SE?
OP talked about intensity of, and not absence of, protest. There was protest in the SE, of course.

Negro_Ntns:
Well it seems you are not willing to help in that journey. I feel justified directing that suicide energy in your direction and helping you set your foot forward in the journey. Are you brave enough to start your journey?

Are you even more unintelligent than I thought? I have already helped by suggesting one strategy for you to commit suicide with. Take it and start to roll.

Katsumoto:
Why do you love being punished like this?

Firstly - I could have chosen not to respond to ileke's posts, emoticon or not. You wouldn't know whether I read and approved/disapproved

Secondly - A quick review of your posts today alone will reveal that you have made many more eediotic, moronic, imbecilic, and vile posts. How many of those did I respond to? I stopped cautioning posters against making incendiary comments a long time ago once I realised that many are bent on being a certain way. You sir, are the king of such posters. You can't be reasoned and I will not waste my precious time trying to make you see reason because you are a sad, lonely, and bitter man. Ileke on the otherhand, only started responding to hateful characters like your goodself, sir Mekus/akin-egba/igbobuiogb/environer/amongst many others. Any intelligent reader would observe that she got my message.

Thirdly - You didn't pay for my education or provide moral guidance to me growing up. You also don't pay for my Internet access. I am free and at liberty to do as I please, as you are equally entitled to, and will use/fight-for that liberty at all times.

You can carry on making an arse of yourself and I will carry on ignoring you and your types.

You see what I just said? You just preached a sermon. You are very predictable ma friend.

^^^^
Na your shallow thinking go kill you. It is one of the suicide strategies you need to adopt

Laalamed:
Why should SE be ignoring the rest of the country in this popular movement?that is why biafra failed.history always repeat itself.ibos always differ on any national issue.what a pity!

The real national issue is removing subsidy which every sane Nigerian should support. Are you insane?

Lasinoh:
These nauseating Igbotic-MGBEKE bigots have come again.

[size=20pt]Mbah, Iheanacho and Uba are not beneficiaries of the oil subsidy?[/size]

The real owners of Nigeria have always been the west and the north.

Na who chop belle-full fit protest bloodily.

South-South. . . South-East = boy-boys of Nigeria.

Nothing new to report abeg. Protest according to your 'capacity'!

They are from oil producing states so they can claim (rightly or wrongly) to be taking back what belongs to them
Is Wale Tinubu or Femi from Ondo?

In any case, those are small cabals compared to Femi or Wale. Please ask Ekiti Bear to post the article he has of how much each cabal makes.
SS people are not many in the downstream sector. But they own many oil wells. It is their property. Resource control is the answer

I beg who be Mbah? I know Iheanocho and Ubah (the one who gives free kerosine to peoples of all ethnicities)

The West and North are crude oil parasites who are afraid to be weaned of their parasitism.
God bless Ondo state for helping to lift the SW from crude oil parasitism. Ondo folks here say aye!!!!!
The North needs lifting. What will bail their cat? Groundnut?

Femi Otedola and Wale Tinubu (T[b]hief Tinubu's brother[/b]) are the sponsors of the protest in the West.
The northerners are largely malus that go where the wind blows.
Or, the NUC chairman, (what's his name again) a northerner, must have taken hefty bribe from the oil cabals and El Rufai.


I wish ACN that fakely and hypocritically prides itself as progressive will ask for resources control. That is progress, not empty rhetoric. That way, every state manages their resource and pay a fixed amount to the center. Only then will the breeze blow and chicken yanssh go open. All the Northern states and at least 4 of the 6 SW states will collapse.

We all better begin to think of diversifying the economy. That is the only way forward.

Negro_Ntns:
No, you ndigbos are sorry woosies!  Always looking to involve West in your trouble.  You call us coward but yet need us to fight your war.  If we dont you label us triators and betrayers.  Well, here is your grand opportunity to prove your bravery on your own. . . dont drag coward West into it.  When and if West need to start killing Hausa we will not be calling on you, we will do what we need to do on our own and independently. 

This [b]article [/b]is plain silly , it is glaring clear to any sensible human who understands political propaganda to see the signature in that writing and know it is coming from SE.   I will repeat, we in West dont have a reason to kill Hausa or Igbo or SS or Middle Belt.  When any of you cross your boundary and give the cause to be slaughtered, then indeed we shall slaughter you. . . but untill then, we are at peace with everyone.

You sound very unintelligent
You ramble too much
Can you make yourself more coherent?
Which article?
Written by whom?
Who is killing who in the SW?
Who has been killed in the SE?
Who is the op of this thread?
On what basis is this thread, on fact or rumor?

After you are able to gather your thoughts more intelligently, perhaps you will make a lit bit of sense, for once.

u need to commit suicide fast.

Negro_Ntns:
Stayreal, here is the statement under your nose. Analyze it for us and derive the truth in it. Just to show you that Igbo hand is behind it. . . look it says in addition to the SW, by "OPC". There is the giveaway!

So how many have been killed? You Yoruba guys are just plain pathetic.

Oil Producing States Seek Quick Passage of PIB Into Law

Chinedu Wosu

8 March 2011
 

Yenagoa —[b] Nine Oil-Producing States in the countr[/b]y have urged the National Assembly to ensure the quick passage of the Petroleum Industry Bill PIB into law. http://allafrica.com/stories/201103080668.html

Can you list the nine states in question let's see how much you know?

emmatok:
LOL,

When and how many barrel do you produce in Imo or Abia.

The oil in Imo and Abia should be enough for Imo and Abia citizens (if it was not shared among 36 other states). That is why they are asking for resources control
Anambra also has abundant oil and gas. Ignorance is a disease.

Duh!!

First it was Tinubu goons
Then Fasola goons
Then Buhari goons
Now GEJ goons

I hope I get my own goons on here too

All animals are equal after all

Katsumoto:

An emoticon is all you gat to render for that most idiotic comment? If it was the other way you will preach sermons.

emmatok:
LOL,

The South Easterners  that do not produce Oil are also making noise.

I wish we brake-up very soon .

there is too much oil in SE. YOu need to educate urself, ignoramus.

sheyguy:
if everyone har the right to protest if they decide to, why is the governor restricting them from exercising their rights?

simple question, why is the Governor restricting the citizens of Enugu state. What of igbos or even hausas in that state who would like to express themselves.

I warned you to always hear from both sides. Now you see below that people protested in Enugu.

Protests and rallies were held in Abeokuta, Minna, Ibadan, Ado-Ekiti, Osogbo, Awka, Enugu, Owerri, Port Harcourt, Makurdi, Bauchi and Gombe and Oyo, among other state capitals and cities.

When did Reuben become a Prof?

Mai-suya:
@radical I regret replyin u, but my bad I tot u were worth it.

@nchara there is more to clashes in Nigeria than just conveniently labelling it north vs. South or Igbo vs. Muslim.

There has been killing on both sides (though I hate using north/south) the proportional distribution is not my area of expertise

Also these clashes sometimes has to do with tribal wranglings (in Niger may be Igbo vs. Nupes, in Kano with the hausas, in maiduguri with kanuris, pardon my use of Igbo it's just an example) so it has nothing to do with religion

And at times its just outright conspiracy (just like this BH case) coz neither the northerners nor southerners know who or what those guys really want.

So u see black and White may be two extremes, but in between are various shades of greys

Killing on which both sides?  I am a southerner. I am not concerned with Berom versus Fulani. I am concerned with Igbos being killed in the North for no reason. Let's leave aside the civil war where you can argue that some Igbo military guys killed northern leaders and Igbo were killed in retaliation, leading to the war where over 3 million additional Igbos were killed. I understand that.  But what do not understand is why you guys have been killing Igbos since after the war? You appear to live in denial and at this point I stop the discussion? Bye.

Mai-suya:
^^
don't get it twisted. Today I read with dismay about the alleged killings in Benin city. And on that thread some pple were chanting yes very good, kill them all. Some one even went as far as commenting of a photo of a  burning human being  as "nice picture"

NB I don't get your argument, am not from jos, but killing anybody anywhere is wrong, and I commend the actions of the youth of minna coz I was in the minna protest. But if the reports from Benin are true, then it was the community that was attacking the hausa community there

No live is worth losing and I do not support any form of t.i.t-for-tat killing. But the fact is that the northerners (muslims) have been killing southerners (Christians/Igbo) since time immemorial. True or false?
