long story short- you can protest regardless of your immigration status. your unlikely to be checked for your status unless u are doing something unlawful

i must point out those being picked up at stratford station were probably travelling without a valid ticket. over courageous if u ask me

so once again dont be discouraged by bad belle people trying to make u feel bad, u can live life to the fullest without papers, so long as u stay out of trouble!

abeg if they hack cbn, pls let them wire some money to my account!!

eridah2007:
After dat,na to sleep carry belle face up.zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

lol! because one has overestimated the amount of beans/garri proportion to take, has eat too much food and must now sleep off (niggeritis) to regain energy!

the joys of being naija ponbele!!

@ jarus. . . .attack!

in fact LWKMD!!! thumbs up!

[quote author=Omo_Tier1 link=topic=838546.msg9908176#msg9908176 date=1325863779]These same 'slaves' abroad sent a whooping $9bn into the Nigerian economy in 2011 alone. Your GEJ puppet government could not invest such an amount in infrastructure in Nigeria through 2011! So much for your 'Education' in Nigeria, [/quote]^^ seriously? wao!

just through money transfer?

cgift:
but have we even asked and answered the question : "DOES SUBSIDY EXIST IN THE FIRST PLACE ?"

you might actually be right!

Starbaby1:
it's ironic that fuel and transportation cost went up in UK this year and no one is protesting about that.

I wonder what the general Uk public would think of Nigerians on this move.

seriously? u ever heard of inflation dude?
#fail!

ice cold- with sugar, put in some groundnut, or sugar coated peanuts

and fried or roasted fish. Trust me its amazing


its also very nice

ice cold with sugar

and piping hot beans!!

WOW! soo much for security!

abeg before we even approve or disprove this. let us see the buses first! we will argue till 2015 and the buses will never surface! lmao

Removing the subsidy the way he did was needed to avoid hoarding and false scarcity. Theres no way to 'prepare' people for such.

But IMO he should have started by borrowing a fraction of the money that was guaranteed to saved from the subsidy removal and investing it to demonstrate exactly what intentions he has for it.

At least if the had began a capital project with the borrowed money- its easier to tell the people the need to raise money to complete it.

Just like when Fashola had proven what taxes were going towards. Rather than take all the money, make the people suffer and the only improvement they see in the infrastructure is those they have dreamed!

londoner:
Monkeyleg, I agree. Johnathan went about it in the wrong way. He needed to demonstrate that he is really committed to stopping unnecessary spending.

He should have started with the political class first. Even if it was a few weeks before this. Its insincere for him to have gone for this bold move which affects the common man/woman before curbing the excesses of the political machine.

That was wrong.

However, if Nigerians can look at this as an opportunity to at least try and force the government to introduce those measures then we can say there would be a lasting benefit of his mistake to Nigerians.

Londoner- there is nothing to suggest he has any intentions of curbing the gov.t spend at all?

I honestly dont think they have good intentions at all- The nigerian gov.t hasnt been able to demonstrate sensible investments. Theyve only shown all round incomptency regarding industry regulations.

I dont know why soo many are putting blind faith in this man when he's clearly showing us he's driving nigeria nowhere but down the drain  

the worst of it all, what really rubs salt into the wounds and pepper into the eyes is the fact that Nigeria is a child of a country!

where and when on earth did it get 'owners'!

thats why i buy into the consipiracy that the british meant for things to be soo backward at thier own advantage!

being able to refine and sell fuel back to the crude oil suppliers is afterall only to thier own advantage!

in ldn- cheapin out on most but still spending on some a typical yoruba owambe wedding will cost you 30k upwards, for 500+ guests.

if your smart you can have a luxury wedding for the same or less, £99 per head and everything else is taken care of.

Im not familiar with how things are in naija- but if u can afford it and it means soo much to you. I think £20k should be sufficient

lol yes, but the jesus christ weddings barely cost £50k!

1600 buses for 150million people? i laugh in all languages known to man! GEJ shoud #tryagain! #fail

my friend is a lecture and shes protesting

some others work nearby and might join

i work far away but ill leave early to be there

you might not agree with the cause or beleive in protesting but that doesnt make u in anyway superior? It just means u dont deserve to reap the freedom protestors have fought to bring to you.
You will be surprised at the number of sacrifices people have made only for you to come and run your mouth like a slowpoke! hmph!

VPG:
me ke i'm i mad my wife and I spent $25K o the rest na family o. but of cos i my wife and I already opened an account for the next family member that's jumping the broom.

the funny thing about the whole spending (what we made from envelopes and spraying money)

My parents made 1.3Million naira.
wify's parents made 2.5 Million
My sister made 25 000 naira (LMAO)
My brother 0 cos he gave us all his money
my wife and I 500K (not even up to plane ticket nonsence)

wedding awon olowo! that amount isnt even spent in the uk! lol

fynewaka:
I spent 1.3m in my wedding in August 2011. Despite the little amount, the wedding was very colourful. The truth is that your wedding can never be the best neither can it be the worst. You get what you want.

little?? seriously u dudes are scaring me!

VPG:
But if you ask me tho i’m mad as hell that they spent all that money that’s a nice down payment on a mansion but I still love my wedding tho it was off the chain…LOL

come back- you spent all that. . . .on a wedding. . . . in LAGOS?? !

chineke!

they should in all fairness shouldt they?
everyone cant benefit from the reduced price if not.

Otherwise the price difference should be deducted from the overall consumer cost.

Which will still result in the gov.t having to subsidise the petrol to some extent. and its quite clear they dont want to do that?

^^ seriously? or is that just a joke?

i doubt even the queen spends that on maintaining buckingham friggin palace!

if thats the case we should be protesting the presidents extravagant lifestyle!

I dont get it? If the gov.t are deregulating the oil sector then what is thier business with investing in refineries?

I dont get how that works? deregulation yet the govt will continue to pay for the refineries?

None of thier stories add up.

ill be there- lookout for a nabber readin GEJ STOP EATING EXPENSIVE STOCKFISH!

lol! dont mind me! catching up on the expired gyst!

ive said it before ill say it again- nl is a fckin dangerous place! fckin dangerous!

i dont have advice- i have questions

what are u doing to get a celebrity besides maintaining your figure? do you personally know any celebs?

what do you do for a living? is it celebrity orientated?

you have alot more to worry about than your aunts and moms marriage age!


ok i lied i do have advice- girl, dont give 2 f**ks what small minded people might tell you. Most destined to be poor.
its all about knowing what you want and doing what you must to get it!

nice Ade uve made too much sense.

im guessing its easier to just remove the subsidy and steal the money rather than audit corroption against several sectors.

Im not neccasarily against the subsidy removal, its just that i know very well the money isnt going to be saved or put back into th ecapital spend. its going to be stolen, eaten, used to buy houses in kent, and for the residents of aso rock to eat expensive stock fish. its all too painful for nigerians to be cheated excessively!

I agree with u guys it is because they miss u. But its too little too late. They arent allowed to miss u and if they do they should keep it to themselves or share it with the new chick.
If i hear from another x i am actually going to xplode its the most irritating factor of past relationships! they never die!

lol! @lola

he simply needs to glimpse at my profile pix see am doing fine and the f**k off politely!

tellwisdom:
Anything wrong with your ex calling to say "Sup with u?? Na so u fine reach??

its nothing to do with that- but if you didnt end on good terms or your didnt remain friends then one should be calling thier x partner randomly.
It will dig at old and unwanted memories and it just shows the person hasnt moved on.
if he wants to no wassup he should check her fb page! lol

most people wont believe it but im an introvert too- i love my own company, i hate being around people but i still manage to head out every weekend to numerous places!   when im around people im charged and ready to go. but id always rather be at home!

either im both or just a very lazy extrovert! lol
