Beaf:

Make up your mind about what you are protesting and stop yarning out of point.
If you are protesting corruption, then lets all hit the street; if you are protesting the subsidy removal, then that is dumb.

otokx:

unless NLC and TUC says otherwise or government reverses the pump price of petrol back to N65 nobody is going to work on Monday; either you stay in your house or you go on to the streets.

2mch:

This is a lie, no court can tell Labour that they cannot strike. That judgement is illegal. Labour Unions can strike whenever they want to. They are an independent body and act as check and balances against irresponsible or unfair government actions.Especially when all attempts at negotiation have proved abortive. Why did they not give the same ruling on ASUU? Labour go on soun, nothing do you. An illegal judgment is null and void. Anyone know any of these judges? so that we can judge their bank account balance from yesterday and today? Make dem go UK go tell Labour that kind mumu talk na.

Gabbysky:

Embark on strike and go to jail, don't come/go to work and loose your job, disturb anyone carrying out his/her meaningful business and get Police brutality. AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSEHOLD WE NO SUPPORT THE STRIKE NOW AT ALL. At least make dem pay January salary first, Haba! NLC/TUC, because they've stolen enough money in the name of dues right?

efisher:

The planned protest can be described as visionless activism.

MAYOWAAK:

They are altogether deceived, both court and the FGN!!! Is it not ironic that this govt who have no regard for the rule of law expects others to obey that same rule of law? Selective Integrity/Justice speaks here, If I do it,it is right, if others do it,IT IS WRONG!!!

We are unstoppable, No shaking!!! Nigeria, your freedom is here! Your conquerors are conquered! Your plunderers are plundered! Haaaaaa, Nigeria, there is fear in the camp of your enemy!!! Rejoice beloved nation!!!!!!!!

Finland:

You must be a thief like them. How will a wasteful government suddenly realize the genius of prudence and making the right investment decisions simply bcs there is more money available from oil subsidy removal?

victorian:

Unfortunately there will be no Strike on Monday. Because the Judge will say its illegal for NLC and the whole nation to just go strike , when the issue of fuel subsidy has not been debated and solutions offered. So negotiations and then way forward has to be stated and if by then no decision is accepted by both parties, then NLC can go to strike, but not before then,  SO NO STRIKE !

Sanusi Lamido: You can do all this and no one can catch it or prove it because somebody was paid to sign off on docs. And with a high enough margin there is too much temptation to be resisted and firepower for bribing officials.

When I spoke to the house of reps I told them why I was suspecting fraud. It starts from PPPRA "allocations" based on "capacity". You will find a company like Mobil with capacity for say 60,000 MT and a relatively unknown name with a capacity of say 90k MT. Red alert number 1.

Although PPPRA is supposed to give license only to marketers with a national distribution network you see names of companies where u have never seen a filling station in their name. I was a chief risk officer in UBA and in FBN for many years approving loans so I know the name of every big player in every industry that nigerian banks lend to as these are among the biggest banks in the country. I see names on the list I don't recognise either from portfolios I looked at or industry studies over the years. Red alert number 2.

I studied the papers presented to PPPRA in a short period in 2010 (I won't tell u how I got them!). And I was surprised that on some days over 10 vessels are said to have discharged cargo in lagos on the same day-clearly the same officers stamping and "verifying" that the vessels were SEEN. Is it really realistic that on the same day 13-15 vessels can discharge in Lagos? Red alert number 3.

Why was I interested in fuel marketing. Because the two sectors that led to the near collapse of the banking industry were capital markets and oil marketing. I am not giving any confidential info out as AMCON MD has already disclosed publicly that two companies alone-zenon and AP-owned by the same businessman owed the nigerian banking industry N220b. And we all saw the amount of subsidy paid to those companies published by BusinessDay. So money had been taken, subsidy had been collected but loans were not repaid, and we couldn't see the money either as product in tank farms or in fuel stations or credit sales. So I became obsessed with trying to understand how that industry operated and the more I saw the more I hated it and I started the war against subsidies. It is actually better to do a direct cash payout or add a line item to salaries called petroleum support or transport allowance capped at say N 300b pa than to keep paying it. It goes to pay middle men, rent-seekers and corrupt officers and there is no amount of preaching that will stop this fraud so long as the policy is so badly defined. Everytime oil price goes up and everytime the naira is devalued and everytime the quantity of imports increases the "subsidy" and thus the "rent" increases and there is more gravy to go round. So every year we "import" more and more and deplete our reserves, and the government borrows more and more to pay for subsidy and the beneficiaries are a smal group of marketers, govt officials and neighbouring countries which get fuel without losing forex! And while a person who applies intelligence can see what is happening you can't prove it in a court of law. If the man says he sighted the vessel and it was 20kMT u have to accept it. It was a year ago!

matty1024:

Trade union all over the world checkmates the government, ours will not be different.
Whether GEJ and his cohorts like it or not, NLC and TUC MUST embark on strike this
coming monday. We must say no to GEJ irresponsible antics, not only the common
bears the pains of their lack of ideas, after much mis-management of our funds.
We say Aluta continua, Victoria acete.

Beaf:

Some of the protesters have low IQ's, which is why they fight a very good govt action to erase corruption. I hope you aren't one?

Finland:

I bet beaf is GEJ under disguise!!! The same government spent billions of dollars on power without change. Why should we trust them with 8 billion dollars from subsidy( that is my protest). If you think removal of subsidy will make a difference in the economy under the present Government then YOU ARE A FOUL DEVIL  ( Make i copy one pastor)
