Do you have the money to pay to subsidize oil....as well as import it.?

Let's be realistic. Because of falling oil prices....we have a choice.....to either start cutting spending now....or we take more loans from the IMF to keep living the good life....

Nigeria is not a rich nation. Rich nations are not reliant on one stream of funding. That is why we must oppose corruption....because they are stealing from a poor treasury.

But,what have the past admins doing or done with loan collected from the imf And we all know that all these past admins keep coming to rule us every now & then.

Flop? Ye must be kidding. ASUU asup coeasu are firmly on strike and so many states lockdown

Many states locked down? Don't even mention Lagos,i'm in office right now. Nothing like lock down

FOLYKAZE:
When the hand of law is brought in, Ayuba will cry witch-hunt. He is going against the labour law which guide strike. He is also not respcting court injuction which put the strike on hold. How I wish Buhari can order his arrest for causing public disturbance and anarchy.

Their strike means nothing as it changes nothing. They do not have the support

Well,i dont blame you cos you voted in a dictator(a wolf in sheep clothing) to rule & not to lead.

COPIED

Labour is spoiling for a fight over fuel price increase. Meanwhile what the Government said was "any entity can now import fuel subject to product quality and standard regulations". Instead of their usual irrational resort to industrial strike, I think Organised Labour should take advantage of this window of opportunity by putting together it's resources to join the line of fuel importers, so that it can sell it's products at 86 Naira. The advantage is that Labour petroleum products will attract more patronage and force other marketers to do likewise. This is not an alien proposal, there are precedents. When the government stopped buying cars for workers Labour took up the challenge by organizing co-operative societies that made cars available to workers who are members. When the government stopped building houses for workers, Labour took up the challenge and started buying acres and hectares of land which they shared to workers through cooperative societies. They even have building materials available to workers through the cooperative society. I think it's time Labour unions, societies, associations, churches and communities take up roles in the global free market for the benefit of it's members. There is a paradigm shift in ideologies, principles and how they should be employed in our modern world. The growth of population, innovation in technology and expanding economic space has made it unprofitable to apply the model and formula of the 20th century successfully in this 21st century. The need for this inclusive participation in economic activities by Labour is underscored by the prediction that a time will come when most tools of labour for both government and non governmental entities will be machines and not man, by then Organised Labour whose only goal is industrial agitation for better wages and living conditions of workers will become irrelevant . Take note that the military is about to key into this new trend of active participation in the free market economy. In Egypt the army is involved in commercial construction of roads, bridges and buildings. It owns the company called "Arab Contractors". The Nigerian Army will soon commence the commercial sale and transportation of petroleum products in its newly constructed mega filling stations in parts of the country. Other than industrial actions and personal welfare, What do the other bodies and Labour Unions have to bring to the table of free market economy? No to strikes. We are tired. Labour should be more ingenious and start thinking outside the box.....

Thanks

LOL buhari's government always wins

So NLC also has different factions?
Is there anything in this useless country that doesn't factions?

Protest is now a big business;

1. You arrange a protest against a government or large corporation.

2. As the organiser, you're cornered and bribed with huge amount of money to end the protest. They give you half of the money in order to receive the remaining half when the job is done.

3. You tell your dumb protesters that a meeting has been arranged with the subject of the protest at a future date (a fake date), and you tell your dumb protesters to go home.

5. After your dumb protesters go home, then you go to collect the balance of your bribe.

6. Before the fake date of the meeting arrives, you change your phone number and move to your new massion in Abuja you bought with the bribe money and nobody hears from you again.

These guys will come out everytime shouting "corruption, corruption, corruption" as if those who prepare the vouchers and sign the cheques are alien to them. They should check themselves first.

My broda d media is doin evrytin possible 2 demoralize good citizens out der protestin 4 our best interest. Dis country is so pathetic, is anybody supposed 2 be beggin us 2 cme out, strike & protest? D increase of fuel price is it not goin 2 negatively affect everybody weda PDP or APC? Dese govt officials av u eva seen dem buyin fuel b4 Ngrns R so dull, if fuel subsidy has bn removed, y d price ceilin by govt? In dis country d old pple are wiser dan d youths. Sme pple called a radio station & said y dint labor protest wen it was 250. Who didn't tink dat d 250 wld be temporary? Who dint hope dat soon enuff it wld get bk to 86?
Dis govt is so insensitive & deyve fooled jobless youths on NL & gagged d common man. I mean if dey rily care abt d masses, y don't dey stabile electricity, make use of d refineries dat R alreadin producin 5million ltrs daily, build new ones before removin d subsidy or wateva scam name dey call it.

One thing I learned about this strike is that don't trust the Igbos. the way they were shouting on the media against PMB I thought millions of them were coming out to support NLC unfortunate how many came out yesterday? the same way they deceived GEJ and want to deceive the SS to join Biafra. I am always very very careful when having anything to do with these pple. Being very careful when dealing with the Igbos is the beginning of WISDOM.

Igbo's are business minded...it is yet another opportunity to join the oil trade.

This is a subjective post. ABU is on session with no hitch. get ur fact right.

Well said. One of the few brilliant contribution have read on nairaland lately.

omenka:
The leadership of NLC knows this has really gone awry but is ashamed to admit it and suspend the action.

Majority of the strongest unions and institutions in the country have backed out and sooner than later, only the leadership of NLC themselves and those that are perpetually saddened by EVERY action taken by the government, simply because Buhari defeated Jonathan, would be the ones sitting at home.

Much as Nigeria's economic indices are nothing compared to Venezuela's, that country is in total chaos with Marshal law declared in most parts, yet Nigeria still manages to hold it together.

I shudder with terror at the thought of what might have been had the old criminals who couldn't make any tangible progress as regards diversification of our economy and saving for rainy days such as this won the elections.

Nigeria will come out of this stronger- I believe.

NLC una c una lyf?

This man called buhari is the 666 we are talking about
