The South East and South South are correct not to interfere. They bear the brunt of the oil leaks, the militancy and the kidnapping industry that it spawned. Anyway petrol had always sold for more than N65 a litre.

The NLC, the NBA and the House of Representatives are NOT ANGELS at all.

When Sanusi Lamido revealed that 25% of the National Budget was spent on the National Assembly no one supported him. Not the clergy, the NBA or the NLC. Shortly thereafter the former Speaker of the House of Reps was arrested for borrowing from the banks and spending 40 BILLION NAIRA in additon to what was budgeted for. Sanusi fought a lone fight. He was disparaged by the House of Reps. The NBA, the NLC, Pastor Bakare and Mallam Rufai did not come to fight corruption.

The fuel subsidy has to be removed because it is the sure way to stop the Corruption in that business. The fight against Corruption must BE INSITUTIONAL AND PROCESS BASED. The EFCC and the Judiaciary have not been effective becasue that approach is based on the PERSONALITY of the EFCC Chairman of a particular judge.

Please read Sanusi Lamido's details of how the Fuel Subsidy FRAUD is perpetrated by excutives of the petrol industry, Nigerian Customs, oil industry regulators etc. This will give an idea of the vast scope and depth of the FRAUD.

Also please remember that NLC is not necessarily fighting for the masses. It has never called a stricke over food or agriculture (becauuse the unons from that sector is not a major contibutor to NLC's finances) nor over Corruption. Never. The NLC strikes only for Oil sectore, PHCN and the Old Nitel.
President Obasanjo sold the refineries to the private sector. The same NLC resisted and got President YarAdua to make a political decision to reverse the sale. Recently GEJ approved that the salaries of PHCN workers should be tripled to secure their support for the power sector reforms but requested that each PHCN staff should be verified by biometric. The NLC and PHCN union accepted the pay increase but went on strike over the biometric testing. But the government knows that without biomentric testing the slary increase will become another bottomless opportunity to STEAL money. For you dear reader, PHCN/NLC have refused to continue with the Pay-As-Use electronic meter because it closes a major opportunity for PHCN to steal your money through their spurious bills.

The FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION IS NOT EASY AND IS NOT PAIN LESS.

Since the larger percentage of lagos/ibadan dont want the touts to molest them they stayed at home. If there was no threat of molestation or violence against those that want to work, would they have stayed at home??

What percentage of lagos/ibadan population rely on daily sales for feeding?? What percentage of this percentage will get revenue lost reimbursed after the dust is settled?? While the NLC will be paid their salaries??

I nearly got e-mobbed in a chat room for supporting deregulation.  I support the protests against corruption as well. But the bitter truth has been told and we've all gotta pay (hopefully temporarily) for wasting our opportunities in the 70's through 90's. The protests should not be targetted against GEJ only, but to all LG chairmen (of whom most dont even have a written budget!) , councillors (who only collect salaries), state governors and house of assembly members (who are significantly bloating our budget), Reps, Senators, (who must slash 70% of their income)

‎​GEJ and Sambo's annual feeding allowance alone ($6M) is greater Obama's total salary for two full tenures of 8yrs ($3.2M) at $400,000 per year.
If Nigeria is broke, trim d cost of governance, tackle corruption in d system, retain fuel subsidy until there is constant power in d least and save this same dying masses that risked their beings to save your vote. The voice of the people is the voice of God.

"Its weird how things are playing out. government does damage control with foreign media,people power struggles to prevent Nigeria's president from removing gasoline subsidy, police kill protesters in parts of the country and some protesters have no clue what they are demanding for."

Adams Oshiomole should be held responsible for the loss of innocent in Edo State for playing politics with an issue as sensitive as the fuel subsidy removal.
