its normal, facebook had faced same in the past, i removed a campus website from the server last night due to attacks from hackers

Kolababa:
We are getting to know the faces of pro subsidy removal governors.
This is a ploy by Ajimobi to set the NURTW against the NLC and TUC so that they will backout of the struggle. You know these drivers being daily income earners use the period of 6pm to 11pm and 5am to 8am to work so that they will earn something for the day in order for the strike not to hit them much. Now with the curfew, they can't work in those hours, then they will backout of the protest. Ajimobi is working for Jonathan. This is a man that did not impose curfew when the NURTW was always on rampage at night.

politically false!!!, which kind logic be that

in OYO,
aint surprise

studyineu:
@feraz, ask dem who started de insults$ in my first post I was been curious why a peaceful protester was shut dead and these 2 goats started de insults.

simple,
I thought as much too, that you wouldn't have supported the killing, but there exist ambiguity in ur posts
you have explained yourself(you have acted like a wise and matured person), this should end the insult from both parties,
thats all,
let the removal of fuel subsidy protest continue in unity

, lets shun tribalism, and support a good course, with this, we will be able to attain success and victory in this struggle,

this is a good course now, everybody should be in support of it, alj harem, i understand the pain, tribalism kills us much

stagger:
Ghadafi never thought that the day will come when his carcass will be dragged through the streets and put on display in a cold room for all to see.

That day is coming in Naija and very soon!

the reply u gave him served him right,
For a nation to summon courage turn down offers from the HOR, stil go ahead to protest in over 30states, then we should expect the unexpected

not even now that issues are being aggravated by news of extra-judicial killing of protesters and ordinary Nigerians,
How did the ghadaffi's saga start, news y news, updates by updates till the outbreak,

Two persons died on Tuesday when a commercial passenger bus hit a motorcycle carrying three persons at Ketu in Lagos.

This was amid protests by angry Nigerians demanding the restoration of fuel subsidy.

Eyewitnesses said the bus driver was trying to beat protesters who ordered him to stop at a barricade on Ikorodu Road. At the same time, a commercial motorcycle operator, who was carrying two other persons, ran into the path of the bus.

The bike rider was subsequently knocked into one of the bonfires lit by protesters while his passengers jumped to safety.

The door of the bus was said to have fallen off and landed on the bike rider, who died immediately.

The stray bus also hit a bystander, killing him instantly.

I'm not sure either but if it happens to be true, d police should be sued to court.

i bet u that would not bring justice, na today?

~Bluetooth:
What the protesters ought to do is identify the killer policeman,mount surveillance on him and kill him later.there is no point arresting a killer,a killer must be killed !

i concur

trustbreed:
pls if possible  capture the pix of the police and the police van number as evidence against them.this mad and illiterate police are calling for libya-like revolution.

Libya-like revolution is imminent!!!, for how long can a "force" that has not been ensuring our security now decides to kill innocent people protesting in the cause of their constitutional right, let there be reprisal from the mob(they are nigerians too)

The Rivers State Government on Tuesday introduced a N4 subsidy on fuel sold in the state.

He also announced that the state government would subsidise transport in the state.

In a broadcast to the people of the state monitored on Africa Independent Television, Rivers State Governor, Chibuike Amaechi, said the state government had reached an agreement with independent marketers to cut the price from N141 to N137.

He said the state government would pay a N4 price differential for every litre of fuel sold in the state. He also said the state government would ensure security for all petrol tankers supplying fuel to filling stations in the state,

chairman, governor forum indeed!!!,

mastro:
Whitehawk, please don't use cut and paste to disturb us, go away

u were just faster to say that,

i was already typing same,

lol

WE CAN'T ACCEPT THIS ONE

WE ARE NOT FOOLS,

WE ARE NOT IN SUPPORT OF REMOVAL OF SUBSIDY IS NOT EQUAL TO  WE ARE NOT IN SUPPORT OF GEJ'S GOVERNMENT,

SO I CAN NEVER BE A PARTY TO MAR GEJ'S ADMINISTRATION BUT A CONSTRUCTIVE CRITIC,

U FEEL ME?,

OKE-ODO TO TANKE

SIMPLE PROTEST (POLICE NOTIFIED AND OBSERVED)

As I have always said and I still uphold:

THE MEDIA HAS DONE MORE HARM THAN GOOD IN TACKLING THE PROBLEMS OF OUR NATION

the reason for all this argument ensued among nairalanders is as a result of misinformation and difference in informatiin

if i hear "peaceful what?""
after killing an innocent Nigerian reading newspaper,
the police always act stupid and foolish, as if they did not pass through physical and mental(code of conduct and ethics of profession) training,
please let them attack the station, may be after all this struggle, Nigeria will be re-shaped,

not necessarily reverting to 65naira.
you see this issue is an economic issue and should be dealt with as such,
looking at the deregualtion of the downstream petroleum sector, its a blessing but blessing has unfortunately turned out to be a misfortune in the lives of Nigerians.
this is because:
1. Nigerians are paying for the good they never bought,(we are not supposed to be the one suffering or paying darely for the loss through subsidies over the years as claimed by the FEC)
2. Our leaders have refused to take part in the pains and endurance, its not enough to slash salary, slash other things(since they claimed its for a short period),
3. As i have said, the finance minister has really performed short of expectations of Nigerians, in issue like this, in order to balance up the effect and stabilise the economy, they are economic measures to take, if they were taken, then the issue would have been a different one, u are reducing fuel price by more than 100percent, after a poor feasibility studies, no fore-warning, no referendum, no consultations,

finaly, the price should be put at an affordable and reasonable one not necessarily  65naira,
Nigerians, I must say  are really peace-loving people, we must say,,if it were to be the east-africans, a govt does such a thing coupled with the present problems of boko-haram,kidnapping,hunger , there would  have been a  war out-break to that effect,

to all the ladies herein , do not compare yourselves with d dudes,
marry early and start giving birth, no need of postponing marriage till a convenient time or after some achievement,
men at 60 can get beautiful wives at ease, who would go for a woman more than 40 for marriage, its pretty difficult,
the yoruba folks, u knw what a single woman indicates in our culture, no time to check time, no time to waste

studyineu:
@TBrownauto, Nigerians are not goats but our leaders are Goats. Let's face reality, Can Nigeria ever challenge Ghana in anything? Answer me. I have been to Ghana and stayed one week, througout my one week stay there electricity didn't for 1 second blink or taken. 24hrs steady Light. Are we not they ones that were giving ghana electricty before now see where they are and see where we are. Have you ever experienced 1 full day of power supply in Nigeria. So now tell me what makes us giant of africa. Am eager to hear it

On Point

igilarity:
my boss who was born and bred in Ghana, married to Ghanaian said Ghana celebrated one yr uninterrupted power supply sometime last yr. small businesses and companies don't depend on fuel to survive. companies are relocating to Ghana cos of the crippling burden of diesel prices. here, life practically depends on fuel, including healthcare.

exactly!!!
here in NIgeria, some business cannot even  be started without "secondary electricity(fuel)",
so no comparison and cant be use a yardstick to checkmate our protest and strike actions,

^ exactly,

can I still answer them?

I hope u gonna pardon me for delay,

I never knew you replied so fast, school work!!!

please, so we could conclude to something

@ajanlekoko thanks

sincerely, guyz,

am sorry for the incorrect use of words!!

sincerely, i was new to nairaland, most times, i posted something different from what i intend,
one of the advantages of typing with phone keypads, not too good on that then,

pardon me,

the following was culled from Punch's Article/news "Reps reject fuel subsidy removal" http://www.punchng.com/news/reps-reject-fuel-subsidy-removal/

In its reaction, the Presidency also on Sunday said the resolution by the House had no “substantial effect.”

In a telephone interview with one of our correspondents, Presidential spokesman, Reuben Abati, said, “What they have decided has no substantial effect whatsoever. Maybe it will have a moral effect and maybe people will now be quoting the House of Representatives as opposing the decision.

“If that is the case, the House of Representatives will know that it is inciting the people of Nigeria against the government of which it is a part.

“If the House of Representatives has an input to make, it can do so when considering the budget. Even then I am not sure that the powers of the legislature go as far as dictating what should be the content of the budget.”
*******************************************************************************

As we all know that the above is quite unusual of Reuben Abati's style of speech and approach to national issues,
I imagine how money does magic as far as buying the "Life" of a professional, famous,veteran,renowned person in a Nation

With due respect sir, I ask once again Where are your pens that we're used to during ur days @ Guardian

JOHANNESBURG (AFP) – Anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela’s life story is to be turned into a six-part television mini-series co-created by his grandson, the producers behind the multinational project said Monday.

Entitled “Madiba”, Mandela’s clan name, the series “will take a broad view of the inner passions and outside forces that guided him,” they said in a statement.

With a budget of $30 million (24 million euros), the project will explore Mandela’s relationship with his mother, his political activism, imprisonment, rise as political leader and election as South Africa’s first black president.

The producers did not say who would play the democracy icon, whose Nelson Mandela Foundation said it supported the undertaking and was helping with research.

The Nobel Peace Prize-winner was imprisoned for 27 years for his fight against white oppression in South Africa. He was freed in 1990 and elected president four years later.

South African production house Out of Africa, Canada’s Blue Ice Films and Britain’s Left Bank Pictures will film mainly on-site in South Africa, the statement said.

Grandson Kweku Mandela, who is co-producing the series, said it would seek to portray “Mandela the man” instead of “Mandela the saint.”

Emmy- and BAFTA-winning writer Nigel Williams, acclaimed for the miniseries Elizabeth I with Helen Mirren in the title role, is penning the six one-hour television episodes.

The screenplay will be based on two Mandela books — his autobiographical “Conversations with Myself” and a book of authorised quotations, “Nelson Mandela by Himself”.

Producers include Left Bank Pictures’ Andy Harries and Marigo Kehoe, famed for the Oscar-winning film “The Queen”, which also starred Mirren.

Public interest in Mandela, 93, has remained strong throughout his imprisonment, political career and retirement.

Several films have been made about his life, notably Clint Eastwood’s “Invictus” (2009) with Morgan Freeman in the title role, and “Goodbye Bafana” (2007), with Joseph Fiennes playing a jail warden opposite Dennis Haysbert’s Mandela.

The producers said they have a short-list of high-profile directors

if the news is true then i have this to say:

this is a result of attempt of revolution among people of diverse culture and ways of living with little or no cultural integration

Lets see!!!

from a young politician

signs of the end of a world and the beginning of another

hmmm

We are playing chess!!!

ok
