Seen here is a video of Day 2 of the #OccupyNigeria protests against fuel subsidy removal in 2012 at the Gani Fawehinmi Park in Lagos.

An attempt by the government to cut fuel subsidy in 2012 led to what came to be known as the #OccupyNigeria protests. Leaders of the then opposition Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), including Asiwaju Bola Tinubu vehemently opposed the subsidy removal and mobilised public outrage against the government when in the early hours of January 1, 2012, then President Jonathan announced the removal of subsidy from petroleum products.

Their eye don clear.

Forget the hungry man seeking cheap popularity.

And now he has changed turn.....

Forget not the story of yam and goat, the likes asiwaju have the inner eye.

so?

they have since gone back to their vomits. Yeye dey smell.

Times have change. Then, crude oil was sold for over $100 and today, it has gone as low as $36. All reasonable Nigerians know that keeping the subsidy regime is the surest way to bankruptcy for the country.

I was against the removal of petrol subsidy in 2012 because we have the resources to sustain it then if well managed without the attendant corruption. Now, I fully support the removal of petrol subsidy because it is no longer sustainable.

The difference between the removal of subsidy by Buhari on one hand, and by Jonathan on the other hand is clear for the blind to see. Under Jonathan, it's greeted with increase in the price of PMS whereas it led to the reduction under Buhari. The implication of this is that it'll make the NLC, which had earlier threatened strike, to be dumbfounded. Buhari is the master of the game.

You do realise that fuel subsidy cost more when oil prices are high? So when it was more expensive to maintain subsidy you wanted it left in place but now that it is a lot cheaper, you want it removed.
