Security agents are worried over what a source said they see as a covert attempt to fuel the workers’ strike due to begin on Monday. Under security watch are some marketers and labour leaders, who are believed to be planning to cause chaos nationwide. Six marketers, who are said to be under probe for alleged covert financial support for some trade union leaders for the impending strike, may be arrested for interrogation, sources said. Commercial banks have been under surveillance by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) following reports of likely huge cash withdrawals by some marketers to back the labour movement. Security agents are said to have uncovered plans by some aggrieved marketers to bankroll the action with over N1billion slush funds. It was gathered that a secret meeting was held between some marketers and members of the National Assembly on Tuesday night till early Wednesday to lobby the lawmakers to restore fuel subsidy in the 2012 Budget. A security source, who cannot be named because of his position, said: “There is more to the strike. Some aggrieved marketers, who have been importing nothing but benefiting from fuel subsidy, are out to destabilise the government. “We may have no cause than to crackdown on a few marketers trying to destroy the nation’s economy for selfish ends. “We are probing some marketers for taking undue advantage of the issues raised by Labour to cause mayhem nationwide. “Security agencies have identified six of the marketers, who are the arrowheads of this covert plot to bring down the government. “These marketers have voted over N1billion to hijack the labour strike to make the nation ungovernable. “Some of these marketers will soon be invited for questioning. And whoever is involved might be tried accordingly.” He did not name the marketers, who the source said “are unhappy because the removal of subsidy will put an end to cooking of records to get refund from government and diversion of subsidised imported fuel to neighbouring countries where they make triple profit”. He went on: “They are also angry that it will no longer be business-as-usual. They are some of the beneficiaries of fuel subsidy. “Unfortunately, they have made labour leaders to believe that they are backing Nigerian workers for a just cause.” Responding to a question, the source added: “These marketers do not even want labour to explore the dialogue option being offered by the Federal Government. But the CBN Deputy Governor (Operations), Mr. Tunde Lemo, said: “If anybody is concocting huge withdrawals to finance a national strike, it will fail. “I think we should all rally round the government to allow this deregulation to succeed. There will be initial pains but Nigerians will enjoy the benefits.” Pressed further on the security reports, Lemo said: “I am not aware of anything like that yet, but I will be surprised if anybody does that. I don’t think anybody should contemplate that. And whoever does that will face the wrath of the law.” |

Gosh! What is actually wrong with Nigerians? Who planted greed in our veins? I cant imagine people trying to acquire everything; in a place like earth when everything is empty, vanity upon vanishing and some people still don't understand. God forbid! |

"SOME" marketers, "SOME" withdrawals, "SOME WICKEDNESS", "SOME", "SOME", "SOME" Does this type of propaganda show respect to those reading? What happened to the maxim "respect begets respect" when you tell us effectively with such drivel that you consider us base-minded? In aid of propaganda, the word "SOME" is splashed around to give the impression that real work is being done when nothing is. It might thus be a good idea to replace "SOME" with specifics - many of us are reasonable and will listen to the government position if they would show respect for our intellects by not trying to sell such obviously daft stories to us as fact! Else arrest the "SOMEs" and let us have peace! PS: what have the marketers lost anyway? They still get theirs, don't they? So who's the dimwit? "SOME" S T O R Y |

Another attempt to paint marketers as bad people. Government just do your job and stop passing the blame. |
Re: 6 Oil Marketers In Trouble For Funding Fuel Riots by nuclearboy(m): 7:40am On Jan 05, 2012 |
Nigerians are well educated, intelligent, and not of the sort of intellect that would be swayed by such tripe. Except of course, when they become this type of government's agents and mouthpieces! |

Re: 6 Oil Marketers In Trouble For Funding Fuel Riots by Gbawe: 9:12am On Jan 05, 2012 |
What a ridiculous super story !!!! A glaring testimony to the total stupidity of the OP and his co-travellers all united in blind and bigoted support for GEJ !!!!!! Femi Falana was one of the first to motivate "near-instant mobilization of protesters" . I suppose we can all foolishly conclude the marketers have paid off Falana same as they paid him off when he took to the Street to protest against those preventing GEJ from being sworn in to act as President. Nonsense !!!!!! |

Conspi.racy gim.micks. . .Distra.cting Detractors. . .What happened to security at the nation’s borders? Or is fuel flown by marke.ters to these neighboring countries?

@ Topic, an attempt to further punish the marketers who were given licences to import PMS despite being unqualified became disloyal by not declaring regular returns. It is this crop of people that the subsidy removal was made for; to enable the big boys control the sector appropriately. They have no technical capacity and requisite wherewithal to import and store fuel. They belong to the crop that import water as fuel OR import adulterated fuel for sale. GEJ dares not go near the Cabal themselves. Most of us now understand why the GCON award was mandatory as given to the recipient. Naijamoviemagic for real! |

Idiotic story. Typical of the retardeens men. |
Re: 6 Oil Marketers In Trouble For Funding Fuel Riots by Kennyblues(m): 10:53am On Jan 05, 2012 |
This is nothing but a mere propaganda by the government even when the elites and celebrities are protesting. Can somebody tell me Mr. Femi Falana, Banky W, Seun Kuti, Mrs Gani Fawehinmi have all been compromised by the faceless marketers whose names could not be ascertain in the reports? |
Re: 6 Oil Marketers In Trouble For Funding Fuel Riots by Nobody: 10:56am On Jan 05, 2012 |
This is some story the height of idiocy for simpletons . subsidy or not, the major fuel marketers make their money. it is actually in their interest that the subsidy go, as the fg / nnpc are lousy business partners that can drive you out of buiness. that was the case in 2009, when they simply stopped bringing in product because the govt was owing them huge sums. our FG is just looking for a convenient boogeyman to blame for their corruption and incompetence |
Re: 6 Oil Marketers In Trouble For Funding Fuel Riots by Abagworo(m): 11:03am On Jan 05, 2012 |
If nothing is done, I foresee a possible up rise in 2 weeks which might end this administration. This fuel subsidy issue which I actually supported is going to cause a revolution. Everybody on the street is against it. Please if GEJ or anybody close to Government reads this, just advice him to bury the pride and reverse the price or at least come down to 95 Naira. The arguments of the people is why refineries cannot be built unless subsidy is removed. Even Bayelsa people are not happy. Transport from Waterlines to Garrison is now 100Naira while Port Harcourt to Aba is 1500Naira. Pure water is now 20Naira. How will a poor man survive? |
Re: 6 Oil Marketers In Trouble For Funding Fuel Riots by Nobody: 11:04am On Jan 05, 2012 |
and in other "some" news; the marketers who stand to benefit from subsidy removal claim that "some" people are trying to tarnish their image with funds collected from "some" individuals in the presidency. "some" sources in the presidency however denied this |
