An article laced with lies innit. They are all related, why are you seeking to run away from the truth.

MORNDEW:
Point out three lies or remain quiet forever. Like I said before it's about subsidy removal.

Rad1cal:
Your first point was a lie, why should one bother his/herself to the remaining trash you posted.

MORNDEW:
Lol, what's the lie in it?
Where NLC not part of the meeting?
And besides I asked of three lies.

Rad1cal:
Your first point was a lie, why should one bother his/herself to the remaining trash you posted.

MORNDEW:
Was NLC not part of the meeting?

[size=16pt]We’ll resist fuel price increase, says NLC[/size]


The statement accused the Minister of State for Petroleum, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu of having overbearing influence and acting as a sole administrator.

It said the allusion to the fact that the increase was arrived at after due consultation with stakeholders was ridiculous and fallacious.

It goes to show that the brief meeting held today during which government was advised to shelve the idea until, at least, it meets with the appropriate organs of the Congress was in bad faith.

“Accordingly, we urge the government to revert the prices to what they were. We would want to put everybody on notice that we shall resist this criminal increase with every means legitimate.

Rad1cal:
Are you kidding me ? Are you intentionally seeking to lie to your audience.

This your zombiesm na die hard oo !! Like i said, your first point of lies defeated this thread.

MORNDEW:
Lol, even the statement you quoted attest to the fact that they attended the meeting.

[size=14pt]PMS price hike: NLC to begin nationwide strike Wednesday[/size]


BEARING any last minute alteration, organised labour and its civil society allies have resolved to shut down Nigeria from Wednesday, May 18, over the hike in the pump price of petrol announced by the federal government last Wednesday. Recall the Federal Government on Wednesday announced a new regime of price that took the pump price of petrol to N145 per liter from N86.50.

With the new pump price of N145 per litre, government must speed up the negotiation process for a new minimum wage of N90, 000 to cushion the effect of the envisaged inflation.
“ As the price of fuel increases, there should also be an increment in workers’ salary as the old minimum wage of N18, 000 has no effect again,’’ they stated.

Rad1cal:
What is your point ? That they were carried along in that deceitful meeting ?

WHY NIGERIANS WONT OCCUPY NIGERIA AS FUEL SUBSIDY IS REMOVED

Yesterday, the Internet was awashed with news of the Federal Government's removal of subsidy on premium motor spirit also known as fuel. This news came as a shocker to Nigerians and as a reason for some group of people (THE WAILING WAILERS) who does not want to move on with their life after the 2015 Presidential elections to justify their support for then President Goodluck Jonathan. Later that same day, the Government through its Minister for State for Petroleum released a statement that seems to not affirm or deny the news of subsidy removal.

Unlike the previous Government where Nigerians came out in mass to protest against subsidy removal, many Nigerians will not protest this one or only a few disgruntled elements who sees everything as politics or attach ethnic coloration to everything will do so. Below are some of the reasons why There would be no protest.

1. DUE CONSULTATIONS: Going by the statement released by the Minister for State for Petroleum Dr. Ibe Kachickukwu, the TUC, NLC and other stakeholders in Nigeria were duly consulted before taking this decision. Forget the threat by NLC they just want to make it look like they 've not failed Nigerians. The question is were they not represented in the meeting? What is their take on Saraki still occupying The Senate Presidency? What is their take on most of our universities on strike etc. Why is it that NLC only knows how to cry when it involves oil?

2. SINCERITY: Even the President's worst enemy knows he means well for Nigeria. They know whatever decision he takes is for the overall good of every Nigerian. Many will ask if the previous Government never meant well for the country? The answer lies on the characters and personalities of the two leaders and their stance on corruption and mismanagement. Many believed the former's Petroleum minister was corruption personified who said she was untouchable while the later is a man of proven integrity who will make judicious use of the proceeds from subsidy removal.

3. TACTFULNESS: Even till this moment, no one can say for sure that Petroleum subsidy has been removed. The government in their wisdom wants to go about it in the best possible ways as not to generate public outcry on the issue. The statement by the Minister proved that. The government knows the implications of removing fuel subsidy and has deviced the best possible ways out of it. Unlike the previous Government who woke up on January 1st when most Nigerians were still returning from Christmas and New year Celebrations and announced fuel subsidy removal.

4. FAITH IN THIS GOVERNMENT: Believe it or not there is an overwhelming belief in this Government. I dare anyone to conduct a sincere public opinion poll on their perception of this Government and you will be shocked on the percentage that will affirm their support for this Government. Forget some of the comments by some nitwits online who does not have grasp of economic issues and present economic woes but do so out of religious or ethnic sentiments that has kept them where they are. Most Prominent Nigerians are sympathetic to this Government this may be connected to their belief that this Government is still in its nascent stage and it's meaningless criticizing it this early.

5. UNCONSTRUCTIVE OPPOSITION: The present opposition in Nigeria are headless, directionless and has no moral right to criticize or call for civil disobedience because it's not in their modus operandi and has failed woefully when they were there. The present opposition led by uncouth, crass and crude Ayodele Fayose only flex their muscles when its religious and ethnic issues. Recently, the one who might have seen the issue as only affecting the South East or Christians just to create chaos in the land is answering to his involvement in money meant for arms purchase that was traced to his account. The other one who claims to be their media aide is busy looking for who to fight in the nearest night club tonight or spreading false news.

DIFFERENTIAL OIL PRICES: In 2012, When the previous administration removed fuel subsidy oil price was on the high side. Global oil market sold for over $90 per barrel as at January of that same year while today oil price is very much below $50. The powers that be made minimal or no significant impact on the lives of Nigerians in the mist of plenty why won't they be able to pay for Petroleum subsidy hence the occupy Nigeria during that time. Today, Sane Nigerians would wonder why they should involve themselves in meaningless protest when the current global oil price is nothing to write home about.

Osinbajos's words :

'You will notice that I have not mentioned other details of the PPRA cost template. I wanted to focus on the cost component largely responsible for the substantial rise, namely foreign exchange. This is therefore not a subsidy removal issue but a foreign exchange problem, in the face of dwindling earnings.'[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font][i][/i][b][/b][b][/b][color=#990000][/color]

MORNDEW:
Lalasticlala, mynd44 Please let the people see reasons not to protest the subsidy removal.

ezefrank87:
,sir, my question is,why was removal of subsidy in 2012 kicked against, and why should it not be kicked against again? Why not apologise to the citizens that were deceived on the alter of politics then?? Or is this a case of what's good for the goose isn't for the gander? ?

MORNDEW:
Who kicked against it and for what reasons?
How much was oil price globally then and now?
What was the timing?

Now to help you, Those who opposed it then also opposed it now. But just that Nigerians have become wiser and now have better grasp of what subsidy is unlike then.

In 2012, going by global oil price we could pay for subsidy but today we earn too little to sustain it.

Subsidy was removed by January 1st of 2012. A time when Nigerians were returning from yuletide celebration. haba.

Who should apologise? No one was deceived we only kicked against unnecessary suffering in the midst of many.

Thanks.

ezefrank87:
sir,if u ask me,i will say that's hypocritical. Gej meant well when he tried to do away with the subsidy scheme,but on the alter of politics,i was killed... sir,nothing really changed,just same politics,if he was allowed to carry out the plans now,am sure we would have gone beyond this stage and talking of full utilisation of existing refineries,building of additional ones and such

chidicollins:
Four years ago, Prominent Nigerians including, Ibe Kachikwu, Femi Falana, Muhammadu Buhari, Oby Ezekwesili, Bola Tinubu, Nasir El-Rufai, Tolu Ogunlesi, Dino Melaye, Yemi Osinbajo, and Tunde Bakare formed a movement known as
# OccupyNigeria with the motive of protesting against the planned removal of fuel subsidy by the GEJ administration.The same people who Spearheaded the January 2012 massive protest in the streets of London, WDC, Belgium, SA, Kano, Gusau, Maiduguri, Abuja, Ilorin, and Lagos, that led to the death of patriotic Nigerians including
# MuyideenMustapha , # AdemolaAderinde and other unaccounted vulnerable students, are know clamoring for the removal of subsidy for the sale of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) with immediate effect...... # AreNigeriansUnderSpell

Most Igbos are brilliant, those you see commenting negatively on Nairaland are drop out and paid online jobbers. Rational Igbos are busy occupying or exploring new markets.

Which rule of law?

Horus:
Rule of law

The rule of law is the legal principle that law should govern a nation, as opposed to being governed by arbitrary decisions of individual government officials.
