Most people erroneousl think an average Hausa/fulani man is not informed politically. Well, opposite is the case, an average hausa/fulani man is well informed than most educated people politically. You will observe that a mallam in his shop or farm is always with a transistor radio, and on the radio he is listening to the current happening in nigeria and beyond in his native language and not english. The same way you listen to news analysis in english is the same way he listens to such in hausa. There is BBC hausa service but i doubt if there is igbo, yoruba, tiv, ijaw etc services on BBC. Hence under rate an average hausa/fulani man politically at your peril.

These people are protesting in favor of deregulation not because they know the economic advantage of deregulation of PMS but, because it is Buhari . Assuming it's a southern president, they would be be protesting in opposition to pump price hike. That said, I am a southerner, a critic of buhari administration, support deregulation because that's the best way to go. I also advise that naira be completely floated to boost economic development. If he had floated naira earlier, we might have avoided some of the mess the country is in at the moment.

These are truly zombies, northern Nigeria has a long way to go.

This is the best opportunity ever for government to do away with subsidy. If you have the entire north and the south west on your side, you can achieve almost anything you want in Nigeria.

Caleboha:
Somebody told them the planned strike/ protest was against Buhari; against the north; against Islam. They were convinced that this is a plan by southern christians to retaliate; Occupy Nigeria under Buhari. As usual, the voice of bigotry is loud and irresistible. They have ignored their hungry stomachs, unpayed and unimproved salaries, worsening economic situation . They are standing with the serpent that torments them! I am thoroughly convinced the NLC needs to show some balls, now or never. Not necessarily against subsidy removal, but for better welfare, immediate payment of all outstanding salaries and benefits. We would not forget how Bauchi state killed 44 corpers in 2011. Now they have started again

kunta2simple:
Can't you silly Christian folks drive in your points without bringing in Islam?

See as Nigerians just they kill ourselves over oil
When smart countries like Saudi Arabia are making more money from prophet Mohammed by organizing hajj
We should monetize our prophets like tb Joshua and liv this oil madness
The president is confused world bank wants him to deregulate and remove subsidy labour does not want it now confusion everywhere
Let's build a city for tb Joshua and see how we will make much money than this oil that has done more arm than good to Nigerians

MeAboki:
I have no problem with your post except your assertion that majority do not understand what they are protesting for.
You'd be surprised how well informed some of these ppl are through the power of radio: BBC, VOA, Radio Germany etc Hausa programs; where social and political issues are discussed and analysed extensively (with invited special guest speakers) to the enlightenment of the listener - I am sorry you presumed wrongly.

However, what you did not appreciate is that most ppl are tired of queuing and already used to paying for more at the black market; so anything to return the flow of the product through the fuel pumps is a welcomed development - they are not as ignorant as you think.

Lastly, Buhari still has a great deal of popularity because even though painful ppl see and believe in what he is doing - I know this may be hard and too bitter for the wailers to swallow.
