For some reason, i feel if government never attacked these people in the first place, they might not just have become this violent. The killing of their leader under Yar'Adua is what has brought us to this point. The arresting and killing of their members only fuels their rage and our security forces aren't capable of dealing with them. At this point, sitting down to dialogue with these people might be more reasonable, to prevent any further loss of lives. Am sure govt can pacify these people without necessarily meeting all their demands. Just an opinion.

@nwanna89
Guy u funny o! There is no negotiation or going back in ISLAM. Once they decide to do something no matter how good or evil, they do it as long as their Quaran says so. Prophet Mohammed (PISS be on him) is their all in all and whatever he says is law. He preached jihad and this so called BOKO HA, RAM will carry it out, even if it kills their sorry, evil asses . Dont u get? there is no going back. Here now the best form of defence is all-out attack. The FG needs to fight them IRON FIST FOR IRON FIST.
U r my fellow Igbo and i hope not a radical muslim. CHRISTIANITY IS THE ONLY TRUE RELIGION OF PEACE! Ya hearrrrrd!!!

If this story is for real, then am speechless. Why on earth r these politicians sooo unrepentant?

"WE DONT WANT NO PEACE, WE WANT EQUAL RIGHTS AND JUSTICE". MEN! THIS LIFE STYLE OF THEIR'S IS OF NO CONSEQUENCE TO ME AT ALL. ALL WE WANT IS AN IMPROVED STANDARD OF LIVING FOR OUR CITIZENRY, THAT'S NOT TOO MUCH TO ASK, IS IT?

sls easy, u r insulting gej stylishly, by praising rufai.

@atigba
NOONE DISPUTES THE FACT THAT HE WAS DESTINED TO BE LEADER OF NIGERIA AND (NOT KILLER OF NIGERIAN's). PRESIDENT JOE, GOD PUT U THERE FOR A REASON, PLS DONT PLAY GOD.
AN ADAGE SAYS "A DOG THE god's WANT TO KILL THEY FIRST TURN MAD".

IN CIVILIZED COUNTRIES HEADS WOULD HAVE BEEN ROLLING AS A RESULT OF SUCH DECISIONS. JUST IN CASE U DONT KNOW, UR WHOLE ECONOMIC TEAM R A SET OF INCOMPETENT LEACHES, THAT DESERVE TO BE SACKED AND SHOT AT THE SAME TIME.
PLS DONT BE BRAIN WASHED INTO KILLING UR PEOPLE AGAIN.

U LEARN FROM UR VERY (COSTLY) MISTAKE, GOOD. THAT MISTAKE ALONE KILLED UR PEOPLE BOTH PHYSICALLY AND PSYCHOLOGICALLY, IF U DONT KNOW. JUST TO PUNISH A FEW OIL CABALS, U DECIDED TO WITCH-HUNT EVERYBODY, EVEN THE POOR, DEFENCELESS MASSES THAT HAVE BEEN SO BATTERED BY EVERY OTHER GOVT, EVERYTIME. THAT'S REALLY SO HEARTLESS OF U. IF U WERE TRUELY SORRY, PETROL PRICE WOULD HAVE BEEN REVERTED TO #65 AND SUBSIDY WITHDRAWAL DONE IN A NORMAL WAY. I MEAN WHAT HAVE WE TO SHOW FOR ALL THE PAST SUBSIDIES THAT HAVE BEEN REMOVED? NO ELECTRICITY, NO INFRASTRUCTURE, HIGH-HANDED CORRUTION AND A WASTEFUL GOVT.
IT WOULDNT HAVE KILLED U TO AT LEAST TO PUT SOME LAUDIBLE STRCTURES ON GROUND BEFORE DOING THIS ABOMINATION. PEOPLE SO TRUSTED U, AND I STILL BELIEVE U HAVE GOOD INTENTIONS FOR US.

See what BB, Twitter and Facebook is doing to Nigeria? On a more serious note, I think these guys should give Jonathan time and see how he utilizes the subsidy savings from the present hike.
@abhosts
TRUE SPIT MY FRIEND, LETS SEE WHAT THOSE DOOSHBAGS!IN GOVT WILL DO WITH THE PROCEEDS BEFORE WE GO AHEAD. MEANWHILE AM NOT TRYING TO DISCOURAGE SNG, BUT WHAT ARE WE FIGHTING FOR THIS TIME? HOPE IT AINT ONLY IN LAGOS? WHO'S GONNA BE LEADING? JUST CURIOUS MEN, YA DIGG!

He urged Labour and Civil society to boycott further talks with the government until the soldiers were withdrawn.

@Soyinka
Thanks for speaking up on this issue. I do agree with u on most issues but I doubt NLC/ TUC are still having further talks with the govt. U should know your people by now, they have been so intimidated by FG's cash.
Plus i think GEJ deploying troops to Lagos is just a political move, cos PDP has always been eyeing Lagos and this seems a good oppotunity for GEJ to insult ACN by this act of cowardice.

@NLers pls stop insulting urselves, u beginning to sound childish. I just said it, i dont know if u do it or not!

I'LL ADVICE HIM TO RISE UP TO THE CHALLENGE OF TRUE LEADERSHIP. LET HIM REVERT THE FUEL PUMP PRICE& STICK TO HIS MANIFESTO OR COME BORROW MINE. BUT WILL HE LISTEN?

MR PRESIDENT BY ACTING THE WAY U DID, U HAVE ONLY POSTPONED THE EVIL DAYS. THERE'S ANGER IN THE LAND. JUST THINK TWICE

I'LL ADVICE HIM TO RISE UP TO THE CHALLENGE OF TRUE LEADERSHIP. LET HIM REVERT THE FUEL PUMP PRICE& STICK TO HIS MANIFESTO OR COME BORROW MINE. BUT WILL HE LISTEN?

[size=8pt][/size] SELL-OUTS THEY HAVE DONE IT, AGAIN! IMAGINE BEING CALLED INTO THE ENEMY'S CAMP TO NEGOTIATE. I KNOW ALOT OF MONEY WAS BUDGETED JUST FOR THIS PURPOSE.
WHAT NLC AND TUC DONT KNOW IS THAT HISTORY WILL REPEAT ITSELF AGAIN. GEJ WILL DEAL RUTHLESSLY WITH NLC/ TUC LIKE ABACHA DEALT RUTHLESSLY WITH LABOUR WHEN THEY OPPOSED HIM WITH A STRIKE ACTION.
NLC/ TUC R GEJ'S B**TCHES NOW, HE'LL F**K 'EM SO HARD.
GOVT HASNT HEARD THE LAST OF US YET, THIS STRUGGLE CAN STILL BE WON!

FROM FRYING PAN TO FIRE. WITH BLOOD ALREADY SPILT ON THE ACCOUNT OF THE EARLIER STRIKE, GEJ STILL WANTS TO SPILL MORE BY DEPLOYING SOLDIERS EHN! THAT BLOODY CULT WEY IN JUST JOIN WEY DEY MAKE IM HEAD SWELL WILL BE HIS POLITICAL, SOCIAL AND ALL RUIN. JUST WATCH OUT AND SEE! HE'S ON HIS WAY TO END UP LIKE GADDAFI

[b]@NAIRALANDERS
;DPLS WHO LET THIS EX-CON CALLED ASCARI DOKUBO OUT (SOUNDS MORE LIKE A PARASITIC WORM TO ME)? PLS WILL SOMEONE VOLUNTEER TO SEND HIM THIS MESSAGE;
i) THAT WE RIGHT THINKING NIGERIANS ARE FIGHTING FOR THE SOUL OF NIGERIA, HIS FUTURE AND THE FUTURE
OF HIS UNBORN GENERATION.
ii) THAT THIS IS NOT ABOUT PRESIDENT JONATHAN (HIS KINGSMAN) AND HE SHOULDNT ON ANY ACCOUNT WHIP UP TRIBAL SENTIMENT IN THIS ISSUE.
iii) THAT "HE WHO KILLS BY THE SWORD (GUN) SHALL DIE BY THE SWORD (GUN)."
iv) LEST I FORGET, TELL HE AND HIS GOONS THAT EX-CON'S ARE NOT HEARD IN DEVELOPED COUNTRIES BUT ARE ONLY SUPPOSED TO BE SEEN.
PLS MAKE SURE U COMMUNICATE THIS TO HIM AND HIS FELLOW PARASITIC WORMS (EX-CON'S) IN THE SIMPLEST WAY, VERY SLOWLY, GENTLY AND IN THEIR MOTHER-TONGUE'S AS THEY HAVE ILLITERACY YOKED TO THEIR BRAINS. IF POSSIBLE USE SIGN LANGUAGE ON THEM.
AFTER ALL, PLS LEAD THEM BACK TO THEIR SLUMS IN THE NIGER DELTA CREEKS LET THEM LIE DOWN BEFORE THEY HURT THEMSELVES ANY FURTHER.

PEOPLE MIGHT THINK AM WRITING THIS COS AM NOT FROM NIGER DELTA. ACTUALLY AM FROM IMO STATE, ONE OF THE CRUDE OIL PRODUCING STATES, AND I KNOW HOW BAD ITS BITING MY PEOPLE AND NIGERIAN IN TOTAL.

THIS GUY IS TOO OLD TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE WORLD TODAY.

WAS IT NOT HIS DUMB GENERATION THAT WERE OFFERING UNIVERSITY GRADUATES CARS AND CAR LOANS WITHOUT ASKING WHERE THEY WOULD GET MONEY TO PAY BACK THE LOANS.

YOU F/CKING OLD FOOL SHOULD GO FIND YOUR AGE MATES AND LAMENT TO.

YOUR DUMB GENERATION BUILT THE PLATFORM FOR ALL THE CORRUPTION WE HAVE TODAY.

@revolt

ITS AN OFFENCE TO BE ON THIS FORUM EVEN TO GO CLOSE TO THE INTERNET IF U R NOT 18+, U'LL END UP HURTING URSELF. DONT EVEN COMPARE URSELF WITH KIDS OF 5YEARS FROM CIVILIZED COUNTRIES. THIS GUY IS LOOKING FOR CHEAP PUBLICITY, AINT YA?

FOR THOSE THAT INSULTED PROF CHINUA ACHEBE AND TAM DAVID-WEST, STOP HATING ON THEM BUT PRAY THAT OUR UPCOMING GENERATION PRODUCES MANY MORE OF THESE LIKES.
PROF. ACHEBE AND TAM DAVID-WEST UNA TOO MUCH, GOD BLESS YOU TO UR 100th GENERATION, AMEN!

TRUST THEM TO DO THIS KINDA SHIT. WHATEVER, WE DEMAND #65 FUEL PRICE, ACCOUNTABILITY AND AN END TO WASTEFUL GOVT SPENDING OR EXPECT A REVOLUTION.
OCCUPY NIGERIA, ALUTA CONTINUA!

These labour leaders have got Goodluck by the balls and they should squeeze as hard as he has been squeezing the poor people of this country.  They should make sure that they extract the maximum possible concessions  from him because the same opportunity may not present itself for years to come.

@kulutempa

U RIGHT BRO, LET LABOUR SQUEEZE THEIR BALLS SO TIGHT UNTIL THEY SQUEAL REAL HARD.
IF NOT, AWAIT THE REVOLUTION!
OCCUPY NIGERIA,ALUTA CONTINUA!!

ITS #65.00 OR NADA! MY EYES DEY RED O!

I watched similar thing on Voice of America yesterday and everybody kept telling our dumb president to tackle corruption  and the cost of government before dreaming of subsidy removal.

@BLUETOOTH
LET ME LEND U MY VOICE, PRESIDENT JONATHAN TACKLE CORRUPTION AND THE HIGH COST OF GOVERNANCE BEFORE REMOVING THE DARN FUEL SUBSIDY, U HEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARD!!!!!!!!

We are Hungry leave us alone we dont want to strik or protest again

@EUNISAM

JUST GO LIE DOWN BEFORE U HURT URSELF.


@NLC,TUC, CSO's AND PENGASSAN
RIDE ON, WE DEY KAMPE ITS NOW OR NEVER.
E DON TOO MUCH FOR DEM!
OCCUPY NIGERIA, ALUTA CONTINUA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally: removing subsidy is not a silver bullet that solves our economic problems. And there is a huge trust deficit that government has to address. Government needs to investigate subsidy payments and punish any violations of extant guidelines. It needs to cut on unnecessary and waste ful expenditure. It needs to fight corruption and show seriousness in that. It needs to deliver on capital projects, power and infrastructure including irrigation, farm-level storage and agri-processing. These are all valid issues that are to be taken IN ADDITION to and not in place of subsidy removal.

[b]@SLS
Well said and sorry for the insults whoever threw them at u. AS LONG AS THERE'S CORRUPTION IN THE SYSTEM, NOTHING WILL WORK. IN CASE U DONT KNOW, NIGERIANS HAVE ALWAYS KNOWN THERE WAS HIGH-HANDED CORRUPTION IN THE SYSTEM BUT NEVER HAD A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO FIGHT BACK UNTIL NOW, THANKS TO PRESIDENT JONATHAN's RASH POLICY ON SUBSIDY REMOVAL. ONCE AGAIN, WELL SAID BUT WE NEED PHYSICAL THINGS ON GROUND NOW, NOW! E DON TOO MUCH FOR UNA! BECIDES WHY IS PRESIDENT JONATHAN SO MUCH IN A HASTE? HE HAS THREE SOLID YEARS TO END JUST FIRST TERM ALONE.
GOVT OFFICIALS HAVE TOLD US THEY WOULD SLASH THEIR SALARIES. rooster AND BULL! LET IT ALSO REFLECT IN NIGERIAS' CONSTITUTION SO THAT IT'LL BE LEGALLY BINDING EVEN FOR FUTURE GOVT OFFICAILS. THINGS HAVE BEEN WRONG FROM THE ONSET AND JUST CAN NOT BE CURED ALL OF A SUDDEN, EVEN WITHOUT FIGHTING THE MAIN CAUSE AND PUTTING A STRICT LEGISLATION IN PLACE. AM TALKING OF A SOLID CONSTITUTION, WE HAVE ALWAYS CLAMOURED FOR A SOVERIGN NATIONAL CONFERENCE BUT NEVER GOT ONE, NIGERIANS AN OPPORTUNITY PRESENTS ITSELF NOW.
FINALLY, AM OF THE BELIEF THAT THIS CONSTITUTION GIVES ROOM FOR STEALING PUBLIC FUNDS INDISCRIMINATELY. IF NOT, HOW ON EARTH CAN IT ALLOW LAWMAKERS FIX THERE OWN SALARIES AND ALLOWANCES? IN FACT, WE MAY NEED A PEACEFUL REVOLUTION BEFORE NIGERIANS WILL HAVE A SANE SOCIETY. POLAND HAD IT WHY NOT US?[/b]

P/Harcourt refineries to work at full capacity by November – NNPC

Port Harcourt refineries would begin to work optimally from November after a Turn-Around Maintenance (TAM), the NNPC has assured.

Mr Philip Chukwu, Group Executive Director (GED), Refining and Petrochemicals at the NNPC gave the assurance on Thursday in Port Harcourt during an inspection of the refineries alongside officials of Maire Tecnimont, the contractors which the Federal Government engaged for the TAM.

Chukwu who decried the lack of maintenance of the twin Port Harcourt refineries in the last 12 years, commended the Federal Government for engaging the original constructors of the refineries for the TAM.

“Everyone knows that the refineries have not been properly maintained over the years and we have had to manage things. What we are doing now is to have the TAM and complete rehabilitation of the refineries by the original contractors,’’ he said.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the two Port Harcourt refineries which consist of the old refinery with capacity to process 60, 000 b/d and 150, 000 b/d, respectively, had been functioning at very low capacity with the old one not working at the moment because of lack of maintenance.

Chukwu explained that the TAM, which would start in October, would require a total shut down of the plants for between 45 days and 60 days to ensure a thorough job.

@OMA4J
;DStory, story? story!!! Once upon a time? Time, time!!! There was a weeny! weeny!! weeny!!! weeny!!!! weeny!!!!! and thats the end of my story. Hope u enjoyed it children?
hee!hee!!hee!!! TAM will start by october on the twin refineries and they will be shut down for 45 and 60 days consecutively. Full production will start by November. NNPC tell me something, is it november ending or mid november? cos am confused.
FRIGIN LIARS!!!

Fellow Nigerians,
How long will the statement which was made by elites against us as being "A Bunch Of Cowards" be affirmed?
This is very annoying, we are just in day 5 of the struggle and some agent of destruction, who for d fact that dey can afford to buy PMS @ N141 even up to N200, are already complaining of boredom at home.
Listen carefully, this is a fight we must win - There is NO GOING back. Do you know that the Egyptian sacrificed so much before the oppressors succumb? Do you think it happened on a bed of Roses? Gentle men, if you are bored, choose from the different options below:-
1) You can trek to Ojota (Gani Fawehinmi Freedom Square) and join us.
2) You can sit in d comfort of your homes and watch us live and keep re broadcasting any message associated with d on-going strike. *beer*
3) You can jog or take a stroll with your immediate environ or keep fulfilling the commandment of God - be fruitful and multiply(If u r married). These are "kuku" one form of exercise or d other./
4) You can take cyprigold/cypron/super appette and sleep off till March. If u r still bored 3-|
5) Finally you can trek to Cotonou - Benin Republic and denounce Nigeria.
Its high-time Nigeria let go of cowards like you, who for d enjoyment of today's pourage - sold not only his birth right but also his conscience! >:O#gbam#>:O.
This message is to strengthen and encourage loyal Nigerians like us and to talk some sense into weak and lazy Nigerians like those who won't forward dis mssg!
It's NOW or NEVER!!








@honeric 01
Its ur kind of people we need in this country, NEVER SAY DIE!, nice one there.
I really dont know why these people are so short on memory, is it that they have amnesia or were they born yesterday. CORRUPTION is still in govt, so nothing will be done with the fuel subsidy monieswhen realised. How on earth do they want us to convince them again?
South East my homeland, ps wake up and face reality if u think with this corruption in govt u will ascend the throne then think again and fight for your GOD-given right now.
OCCUPY NIGERIA, ALUTA CONTINUA!!!!!!

A common sense tells me where they are driving to. Well Labour Union has tried. I think they should succumb at this point. enough of these killings and social unrest. Labour should negotiate on N100 let's see what happens. Nigerians in the rural villages are really in pain. Let's call the strike to an end, we have tried!

See similar discussion topics on my blog below (see signature). God bless Nigerians

@WILFRED NG
AH! AH!! SUCH A SHOW OF WOMANLINESS. LADY, IF WE SUCCUMB THIS GOVT AND SUCCESSIVE ONE'S WILL RIDE ON US LIKE DONKEYS. THIS IS A TIME TO FIGHT FOR THE FUTURE OF OUR CHILDREN. WE CAN ONLY SACRIFICE BY PROTESTING TO THE END AND NOT BY PAYING #100 THROUGH OUR NOSE. GOD WILLING, WE'LL GET THERE. SO PLS STOP UR CHILDISH TALK OF #100, WILL U?

Labour union should only agree to a proposal that holds this govt accountable. It's not only about reversing it back to N65 but ensuring this Govt. keeps its promise to  

- A 20% reduction in subsidy starting in April 2012 and for the next 5yrs. Yearly increment will be tied to tangible implementation of projects in key areas: completion of refineries, building of roads, Improvement in power supply etc.  For instance, if by April 2013 an agreed upon project is not completed then Govt cannot increase prices.

- Cut in salary for all Federal elected officials. 25% cut in basic salary and 50% cut for all other allowances. Plus a firm commitment to cut wasteful spending in the budget. Allocating N18.5 billion for Aso Rock is a prime example.

-  An independent investigation into the N1.3 trillion subsidy for this year and overall oil subsidy regime. Forget that Senate investigation; that's just show and tell. I just don't know who can handle this

- Reject any palliative measures. We don't need that crap. This is only for Jonah and his boys to chop money  

This is the way to go; if not this govt will come back in 2yrs or 3yrs and  tell us the economy is collapsing and they need to remove oil subsidy

@OCCAM
VERY WELL SAID ITS HIGH TIME NIGERIANS LEARNT TO STRICTLY MONITOR GOVT.
