In 2014, when the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan increased pump price of petrol, opposition politicians in the country led by General Muhammadu Buhari poured out to the streets to challenge, or demonstrate against it.

They mobilized members of various labour unions, church leaders, civil society organizations, political activists, etc., who laid siege on the country, and held everything to a standstill, until the government was forced to reverse the measure.

Conversely, it now looks like there is no more opposition politicians in Nigeria, or that the present crop of opposition members are mere paper tigers, empty vessels. They will make a lot of noise, but will not do anything. They will bark, but will not bite. They are lame ducks.

In 2015, when the present administration came on board, the pump price of petrol was N87 per litre. The government arbitrarily increased it, first to N143 per litre, and now to N160 per litre. The opposition members only made some noises and sat down. The government still stuck to its gun.

In 2015, our Naira was exchanging for N186 per $1. The government raised it first to N365 per $1, and now to N156 per $1. The opposition members made some noises and sat down. The government still stuck to its gun.

Typical Nigeria ..always looking for who to blame .. PDP are not hypocrite ...they don't protest over what them too would do unlike APC

Stay there and be waiting for rich Nigerians to protest for you ...real protest happens and don't need a leader
