The state of the Nigerian Nation now, is likened to the fate of  an over borded SHIP delibrately and illegally loaded by the ship captain and port officials.And it is heading, if not bound to wreck. Amidst this great uncertainty, insecurity and danger the passengers on board are screwing and calling upon the captains and on-board safety experts to hurriedly rescue the situation before they are doomed, But all they could profer its that the ship should be allowed to sink that they hope and believe it will be a good landing atlast if the people could only be calm and key in to their faith. Mr. President, must we be allowed to sink first before the rescue begins. WHAT IF WE ADOPT THE OPTION OF HAND PICKING THESE ILLEGAL ON BOARD PASSENGERS AND CAST THEM INTO THE WATER BEFORE ITS TOO LATE, ATLEAST FOR THE SAFETY OF THE LEGITIMATE PASSENGERS. WE KNOW IT COULD BE DIFFICULT IN THE BEGINNING, BECAUSE THEY ACTUALLY PASSED THROUGH YOU AND YOU BOARDED THEM KNOWING FULLY WELL THAT THERE IS NO LONGER SPACE FOR THEM. AMIDST ALL THESE YOU EXPECT THE PASSENGERS TO STOP SCREEMING AND CALLING ON ANY OTHER GOD THEY BELIEVE COULD RESCUE THEM, Nigerians and indeed the whole world is watching the scenario unfold, OCCUPY TO SAVE NIGERIA!!

Have you ever asked yourselves why the existence of this subsidy in the first place in our oil sector?. Let me start by letting you believe the fact that, before its CONSTITUTIONAL introduction in the oil sector, that it was LEGALLY and UNARGUABLY debated to the letter by THE NASS before it was PASSED to law as a result of its place in our economy. YOU CAN ALSO CALL IT “THE LAST HOPE OR SUCCOUR  TO THE COMMON MAN" as a citizen of an oil producing/SUSTAINING country which HAS'NT MET OR COPED WITH THE LOGISTICS OF PUTTING UP A REFINERY OF THEIR OWN WHICH THEY COULD STILL BUILD ANY WHERE THEY BELIEVE IT WILL BE SAFEST AND PROPERLY HANDLED FOR THEM. DO NOT FORGET THAT THERE IS NO NATION THAT DOES’NT SUBSIDIZE ITS CITIZENRY, BUT WHAT IS TO BE SUBSIDIZED IS LEFT FOR THE PEOPLE AS A NATION TO DECIDE AND ENFORCE. However, you need to bear in mind that it was conceived as a second and last option for the masses who are already been short-changed  with NON-EXISTENCE,INADEQUATE or ILL FUNCTIONAL  BASIC  AMENITIES  and even if they do, at what capacity and what comparison to the actual amount they consume or require. And you believe that Nigerians will let it go by mere flapping of lips SUBSIDY i must let you know, its so much important that the people sees it as their cake in disguise which they even preferred best to be GIVEN OR MADE AVAILABLE TO THEM at the PRODUCTION point of their HANDIWORK and not at the SELLING point in other not to get the COST twisted or thwarted during Its other logistics, haulaging or deliveries. In other words that which they suppose to have been benefitting from as their LEGITIMATE RIGHTS has been DENIED in the first two stages of the deal. Mr. president, where you not the person that helped your friend and boy Mr. John Attah Mills of Ghana with some bank loans from UBA and two other banks to pay for his countries subsidy as soon as he came in to power when his predecessor refused to pay for the last shipment of loads that was brought into the country during the crisis,and even went ahead to dwindle the nations account, which barely left the country's banks and economy in outta dismay and grasping for succor having suffered a protracted war and losses……, SO MR. PRESIDENT WHY DON’T YOU FIGHT THESE  CABALS AND NOT THE IGNORANT CITIZENS…. Mr. President I will hang it here for now cus I got something on FIRE TOO…….IF U R  ANTI-SUBSIDY REMOVAL, FEEL FREE TO COPY AND PASTE UNTILL ITS PROPERLY  DISSEMINATED…… OCCUPYING  WE MUST! IF NIGERIA

Jonathan is like the favoured son of a wealthy king who was sent to school to study in a foreign land and be useful to himselve and the king and queen back home. But did actually went and FAILED, when he was asked why the heavy failure, he said it was due to the incessant treats been given to him by his classmates and that he could neither FIGHT them nor REPORT them to the appropriate authorities, except only if the parents would follow him back to school to protect him from them while he studies that his failure is imminent and very assured. Why would they continue to keep you in school since you can't face the challenges. Mr Jonathan, has'nt it occured to you that when one is given any private/public position and he feels and believes that he can not perform on the job nor adapt with the provisions of the services that the most honourable and reputable thing to do is to tender a resignation and a good bow. Did'nt Mr Obama and cohorts tell you this during their mockingly commendations to you. Oh! I just remembered that you met with Mr Thabo Mbeki during your last unnecessary,stupendous,wasteful and mind buggling/aggravating trip to South Africa, did'nt he brief you on how he went about his. Please Sir, may i remind you that we are in a Democracy and you need no octopus or any herbalist to inform you that the people have spoken in different languages and manner and in different parts of the world before you understand the hand writting on the wall. Else, i would want to believe that you only wish that your name be BOLDLY PRINTED on the wrong side of our national history, !LET NOT THE GOODLUCK YOU BEAR TO BE A DISGUISE TO THE COUNTRY

I think people should understand that the cost of this subsidy suddenly jumbed from 280 billion naira per annum in 2009 which was its original cost to the whooping cost of 1.4 trillion just in 2011 and u think the best way to correct the anormaly is by heaping the pains on the masses than to set up committees to monitor the process and get to know the quantities these guys actually import. Subsidy became our right when the govt. failed to give us refineries while we are waiting for one, so why cant they fight those who have abused our rigth bureaucratically and not by ill fated policy implementation that is detrimental to the interest of the masses. Why is mr president making it to look like the subsidy is what is delaying our infracstrctural developement. We mean he can actually correct the anormally from where it started OR CAN'T HE FIGHT CORRUPTION AT ALL without all these hassles.Tackle the responsible few and not the innocent masses. Does it mean that all our taxes, and the 320billion naira generated every day by the government aside other avenues waiting to be exploited will not be enough to give us the much acclaimed infracstructure. IF ANYONE HAS ANSWERS TO THESE PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO LET US KNOW, SO WE COULD BE BETTER INFORMED.

The existence of the subsidy does not stop deregulation neither will its removal bring about deregulation if the country do not have a functional and structural frame work for it. Deregulation is achieved more by the stipulations of the liscenses given to the private partners. How can the government deregulate the sector where the partners involved also have oil lifting(importing)liscense too. If it were to be you would you accept to building refineries than importing the products and get your gain instantly

Why is this government portraying subsidy to be a bad egg within the oil sector.Subsidy is a constitutional rights of the people which has been grossly abused by some so called cabal and their counterparts in the government. ITS EITHER THAT MR PRESIDENT IS WEAK AND AFRAID TO FIGHT THE CORRUPTION IN HIS GOVERNMENT OR HE WANTS TO BE ANOTHER TYRANT IN THE MAKING.Does he want to tell Nigerias that am, ongst all the natural minerals that we have been blessed with, that he cannot source for any other avenue to get funds to work for us. Why cant he increase the taxes of the big players in our economy and stuffs like that and leave this apple called subsidy for his electorates .THE BIG QUESTION IS AT ''WHAT YEAR'' DID THIS SUBSIDY WE PAY TO THESE CABALS RISE TO THIS WHOOPING COST. NIGERIANS WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE STATISTICAL ARITHEMETICAL PROGRESSION OF HOW THE SUBSIDY HAS BEEN PAID FROM ITS INTRODUCTION TILL NOW. jonathan and the governors forum only want to spoil the ill perceived business of their boys by indirectly diverting the funds to their pockets.Why is The gmd of Nnpc, Mr Oniwon not championing this curse too like his female counterpart Allison. The existence of subsidy never stop deregulation and its removal either too if we do not the frame work for it.SECONDLY, DOES IT MEAN THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE HAVING EMPLOYED ALL POSSIBLE MEANS TO CURB AND CUT THE SUBSIDY TO ITS PRESUMABLE ORIGINAL COST SINCE THERE WAS NEVER ANY DRASTIC DIFFERENCE IN THE QUANTITY THE NATION CONSUMES IN COMPARISON WITH THE AMOUNT PAID AND GIVE NIGERIAS A PEACE OF MIND WHILE HE GOES BACK TO WORK. IF THEY LIVE BY EXAMPLE, THERE WILL BE NO NEED FOR THE REMOVAL OF THE SUBSIDY. HE SHOULD STOP TELLING US ABOUT BUILDING INFRACSTRUCTURES WITH THE MONEY HE HAS'NT SEEN. I STILL MAINTAIN THAT AN ADDITIONAL 1.4 TRILLION NAIRA TO BE SHARED AMONGST THE FG,STATES AND THE LGAs OF THE FEDERATION CAN NEVER BE THE BASIS FOR THIS GOVERNMENT TO PROVE ITS WORTH.if you are against subsidy removal pls u can copy and paste, OCCUPY NIGERIA IF IT MUST BE

I think they have become so comfortable in their bad leadership,mal-administration and embezzlement that they now need more money from us before they work for us, What a Bizzare!!!!!

@KARPENTER.
I would'nt spend much time with you cus you have told me what you are so i can't waste my time with u. Why the protest has not been done all these while its simply because it was all gathering silent momentum and boldness waiting for an occassion like this to present its selves. ITS NOT ABOUT JONATHAN, BUT THE TIME, THE POLICY AND ITS CONCOMITTANTS COUPLED WITH THE AMOUNT OF DECAY IN OUR GOVERNANCE HAVE ALOT TO ADDRESS AND ITS NOT JUST THE WAY YOU THINK OR THEY PRESENT IT. I will bring a cupboard for u 2moro morning for repair please be at home.

It still behoves me of the kind of Advisers our mr president employed. He introduced the stimulus that brougth about this UNPRECEDENTED reactions and protests all around the country and he thinks it will gradually fizzle away as its been hoped with the menace of boko haram without withdrawing the stimulus. FOR YOUR INFORMATION SIR, The body structure that organised the protest is getting complex,c, omplicated and might get twistted.The NLC and TUC are gradually losing control of the protest. It should not be all about ego nor your admirers but should be about the people that put you there. Why are you giving your oppositions an unpreventable advantages. The lower House of Assembly has rejected the policy and mr President said its mere OPINION of the house which means they should'nt be taken seriously.Except he wants to toll the part of a Tyrant, I doubdt if he has any option than to back down. Anybody who supports this removal of fuel subsidy now is either mis-informed,ignorant,weakling or a loser. LIKE I EARLIER REITERATED, THE SUBSIDY BECAME OUR RIGHT WHEN THE GOVERNMENT DID FAIL IN ITS OBLIGATIONS to provide functional refineries for us. So you need to entise us into forfeiting it by demonstrating and proving to us that the funds can actually be utilised by reducing the cost of governance so they wound'nt take the funds as mere spill overs.

Those of you that are pro-subsidy removal please i will like to know how sure are you guys that the proceeds will be justified just the way you guys are proposing, i mean tell me in percentages(%) tell me your trust on these doomed guys to deliver on their promises. Who are the executives of these funds to be raised and what happens if they fail. How on earth do u guys think that somebody you have, never trusted with little fund you pay as taxes monthly depending on where we work, to now trust him on every of your hard earned dollar you are been compelled to pay on every litre of fuel without any deliverance, purging of any kind not to talk of miracle. EFCC is out of question. How do i meet Jonathan if am not satisfied with the implementation.I can never be of the opinion that this nigerian government is "broke" even if, they should continue paying the subsidy on my behalf untill they repair their leaking loof and probably get a new apartment. Removal of the subsidy is good to our already defied system BUT not when the issues that brought about the decay are still very much in place and you are saying WE must follow you to repair what you alone has gravely and intentionally spoilt. The introduction of subsidy became our rights and second option to keep benefiting from our government even though they have failed us ab initio with non functional refineries. Mr president said its for a while but am pretty sure that once we start that will be the end of our doom because it will never come down as we have never made them take us serious and educated too. Mr. President do the first thing first and the rest will follow.
The 1% must not occupy but the 99% will occupy Nigeria. Xpagnol has spoken

Weldone guys, never knew u guys could be this serious.
Nice protest, nice location, nice package.
I think that woman should be allowed to champion the course.

Weed is never addictive and can never be because it has no such element. I have many friends that smoke than non smokers and they are still very much responsible with their families. Please mr man, you should'nt be sentimental about it . It was carefully created by Almighty God so in as much as you are'nt mixing it with any other artificial content.

i sougth my doctors advice in 2007 when i had a broken bone and lo and behold he strictly advice me to stay away from cigarrete but i can weed up because it will even hasten the healing. This is a Highly qualified doctor at UNTH enugu.

My guy weed on its own is'nt a bad omen but when u abuse it just the way every other thing is abused then you are doing it wrongly.

Its a plant created by God just like your green,pumpkin, bitterleaf, scent leaf and so on which can also be dried and smoked if you can.

The bible said that we should not call what God has created evil or unedible for what men eat do not pollute them rather what comes out of our mind pollutes.
As a matter of fact am smoking while making this write up. cheers

If i shuld be honest wit dis tread,

I shal slep
I wil blow up some ***ds
facebooking and nairalandin.
cook gbanga soup(ofe akwu) wit rice and full grown chicken wich i ve bougt.

tank God for the wondful year and pray for prosperous new year.
sorrry i 4got, i shall also bleep if any comes my way  cus to go look for them means suicide attempt.

@Ifyalways, thanks alot for that question cus i just posted when it occured to me.
Please mr Bamidele help us answer the question because its really important that we know.

Please for ur information, I served in yobe with 2007 batch and i could still recall their recklessness,
at least i had three personal attempts on my life aside the group or during party blast that our girls were ambushed
and molested.

I strongly believe that this act act of burning down the camp is a strong capital message telling u guys that
you are not welcomed anylonger . but i know that the government will definitely want to take u guys there, but please do all u can to avoid the place.I know so many are very desperate to serve or to wear the uniform but i blieve you then need to decide btw the two. NO BODY KNOWS WHO IS NEXT.

And the COLD war continues, Does it mean that these animals have not been told that Nysc scheme is a programme of mutual integration that was suggested and implemented by their so called leaders for their own benefit. Because i still wonder what a corper from this part of the world would teach a primary or secondary school student from the other parts of this world, ss,sw and se in short focus.

The living Faith church was my church when i was there. God help us.

This carnage mated out on igbos and christians will not stop untill every home in igboland is affected directly. thats when our eyes will open to reality that these guys are fighting a COLD war here,

we are watching to know the kind of magic that the government will perform to stop this if not their 3 yeaars of imprisonment if at all.

@aigbofa or what ever u call urself, u can put ur head inside ur anus while u go Bleep a cow,

Ojukwu was our leader and no amount of grammar and refrence to n/korea can change that so u better start
thinking of how u can help your own local and stinking area.

He was a man of history and nothing can change that u hear, Ewu yoruba

@poster,
I think u are in the same mess as i am now that made u ask this question. bcus am into one of them now who has turned me into her recharging machine just becus i told her am admiring her alot, thats every nigerian girls mentality, but she doest know that i worth more than those cards so she is missing alot i guess,

I AM A TERRORIST SPONSOR PLZ FG REDUCE IT TO 5 WEEKS BECUS THE 5 YEARS IS TO MUCH,

I have called brothers and asked how prepared they are and they said they are ready,
Like play like play this government is taking us back to 1967 again, The last it was counted it was 19million alhamajiris presumed to exist in the whole north. God pls help ur people.

The worst is that our government has refused to be proactive in what ever thing be in their
policy formation and implementaion, hope they are really aware of all these threats and bla bla bla from the
both sides, Bokoharam pls dont forget that the incumbent is also a militant so do not take his silent attribute
for a cowardice, Xpagnol has spoken once again,

Godforbid , We are watching but praying.

PLEASE NAIRALANDERS, WHO IS THIS POINT B, IS HE FROM NIGERIA OR JUST STAYING OUTSIDE NIGERIA WITH NO PRIMARY UNDERSTANDING OF THE BAD AND CORRUPT NATURE OF THIS BREED OF LEADERS,

ALH HAREM HAS TOLD U THAT ITS A GOOD POLICY BUT THE GOVERNMENT HAS'NT  PUT IN PLACE THE NECESSARY THINGS  THAT PEOPLE ARE SUPPOSED TO FALL UPON OR WHAT WILL LESSEN THEIR EXPENDITURE WHILE THE REMOVAL OF THE SUBSIDY TAKES EFFECT ON A LONG RUN PERIOD UNTILL PEOPLE ADAPTS.
LIKE, FREE EDUCATION, HEALTH INSURANCE, REFINERIES, POWER, ROADS, EMPLOYMENT, WATER , CORRUPTION AND SO ON,

THAT IS TO SAY THAT THE BASES & ESSENCE OF THE PROPOSED REMOVAL  HAS NOT BEEN ATTAINED NOR BE ACHIEVED WITH THIS SET OF WICKED AND DEAD CONCIOUS SET OF LEADERS.
PLEASE POINT B AM SORRY BUT YOU REALY NEED TO VISIT YOUR LECTURERS IF YOU DO HAVE ANY
I REST MY CASE BECAUSE I HATE TALKING ABOUT NIGERIA ATIMES,

I STAND THAT THE WILL OF GOD SHOULD BE DONE IN HIS OWN WAY AND TIME,
THOSE GUYS THERE DONT EVEN BELIEVE THAT THE COUNTRY COULD GET BETTER
EVEN IF THEY DO BUT HOW AND WHOSE OX WILL GET GORED FIRST.
THE MONSTER CORRUPTION HAS EATEN US SO DEEP THAT WE LACK THE STRENGTH TO COMBAT IT ANYLONGER.

OH GOD OF MERCY PLEASE HELP THEM BECAUSE THEY CAN NO LONGER HELP THEM SELVES AND STILL THEY PRETEND LIKE THEY CAN.

Four Governors, Murtala Nyako (Adamawa), Umar Tanko Al-Makura (Nasarawa), the host, Yakowa, and Aliyu as well as the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal, attended the meeting.

We must say the truth and stand by it at all times. As religious and traditional rulers, this is the basis of our moral authority and the essence of our leadership. We must remain politically non-partisan, regardless of the enormity of the pressure for us to act otherwise".
