Yes, this protest is more than justifed

But the sad thing is, just as in 2011, the decision to remove subsidy is to prevent the greater calamity of a growing budget deficit, and the subsidy eating our revenue, and everything else.

Yeah, it's either we choose to be bitten by the dog, or to be bitten by the lion. There is no third way.

They can not force open the Parliament. It's a place for all Nigerians. It's the Parliament so nobody is surprised that they are there to protest.


Only the naive ones will think they will enter such compound and police would not have blocked them from behind to prevent their exit or escape from arrests in the event they misbehave inside the NA complex.

It is obviously a strategy to get them within a fenced environment and be addressed by the Senate. The police will not allow the Mr Obi's LP faction of NLC throw them any surprise o.
Tinubu is the illegitimate president but Obi is your headache as expected 😂😂

The protesters need to be careful.

The APC has shown in the past that it has no qualms using paid agents to turn peaceful gatherings into violent ones & then ethnicise the crisis.

The protests must remain peaceful & non-violent.

As much as a protest/strike is undesirable at this time, the FG has also failed in its duties & responsibilities.

The manner of the subsidy removal is fraudulent, thoughtless & a sign of government's failure to be responsible to its duties.

Two key reasons for removing fuel subsidy are smuggling & the corruption by a few.

Now, what the government should have done first, in my opinion, are:

1. Do more to secure the borders. Invest in technology tracking & surveillance systems. Sanction security officials through whose sectors fuel is smuggled out.

2. Go after the cabal in the fuel subsidy sector. The private & public characters involved must made to answer for thier alleged crimes & the proceeds confisticated. They cannot be allowed to go scot-free with thier loot & Nigerians made to suffer.

Thier cases should be fast tracked.

3. Increase the price of fuel to 250-300 band. This will take a bit of pressure off government in the interim pending when it can fully sanitise the fuel subsidy regime. This price will still be affordable for majority of Nigerians without the need of providing palliative.

4. Review downwards associated costs/charges/taxes that add to the price of fuel in Nigeria.

5. Immediately undertake a priority revamp of the refineries to get local production up to at least 70% in the first instance.

6. Institute a clear policy to encourage modular refineries & monitor thier development.

7. The confiscated properties of fuel subsidy bandits should be invested in maintaining the refineries, supporting modular refineries, investing in tracking technology for smuggled fuel & paying for subsidies (if any).

That subsidy should go is not the issue, but the process of its removal must be transparent, fair & well-thought-out.

We know those who truly love this country won't join the protest . They still want Nigerians to continue paying subsidy so that they will have money to share. Subsidy is gone and it's gone for good.
