The President announced that political office holders will sacrifice 25% of their SALARIES for subsidies.

That translates to Jonny sacrificing N800,000. PER ANNUM

Now that is a lot.

I dont see why people wud still want to protest when our president has given up so so much for us.

Oh, oh, maybe its 'cause he didnt touch the allowances that are in some cases 50-100 times the value of the salary of a political office holder

Aww, He must have forgotten about the allowances. Poor thing

Please someone should remind him, quick cos i wudnt want to believe that he purposely kept that little item hidden.

The allowances given to a nigerian senator are well over N100m per annum and there are about 150 of them while the allowances given to a rep are similar but with there being around 400 of those ones, well the numbers just keep adding up dont they?

Anyway for those who wont go out to the streets to demonstrate but wish support the protesters you can call enoughisenough nigeria on 07006662222(www.eienigeria.org) and make ur comments and or donations.

Im making my donation of water tommorow as i want to lead by example- unlike some president's we know

what goes around, comes around

One day the oil would finish and you have nothing to turn back to but to these "oil poor" states just like in the 1940s.

Lets see what would happen then

Trust me the protest that took place in Nigeria would not be forgotten in at least 70-100 years time

oil would finish in 20 years time in the Niger-delta region and the SE

we would see what would happen when that time comes

Remember you only have yourself to blame because we are asking the government to develop the Niger-delta as part of our protest. You people are using tribalsim to think

hmmmmm time would tell

Dude, better stick to your un-intelligent ramblings and poopings on NL. What do you know about Geology, Reservior Engineering or the Oil/Gas business? Where did you get the confidence to postulate and crunch the figures you have up there.

BTW, you have not told us when the Natural gas will "dry-up" as well, one expo for you though, The Niger-Delta and SE region has a large "Island of Oil in a Sea of Gas" one of the largest in the world, oya start crunching  your near dead calculator to tell me when our total reserves dry-up.

Your folks stop building Pea-nut pyramids not because your land stop producing but because you found a way to prosper from other regions natural resources and statistically, your region has  comparatively the largest number of lazy and un-productive people in the Contraption called Nigeria (I am not refering to the entire North here, cos I have a few friends up North who are hard working and smart, so make no mistakes).

You got Tin mines/Fields somewhere in the Middle belt, why has it not been developed? You Farm Potatoes, Onions,Tomatoes and rear Cattles (Your traditional occupation) why have you not developed all this to gain international export value, No, you must sell dollars on the streets, must be positioned in NNPC, NPDC, NAPIMS, Ports Authority,Immigration and Exercise and all the plum sectors possible so you can dictate to people who work hard and who are endowed with these Natural resources  while keeping them under. Now tha it looks like the game is changing, your politicians are Orchestrating and formenting trouble all over the Nation so the project of decentralising your manipulative grip and control over National resources will fail and that ain't gonna happen!

May be I just dey waste my time with you sef. To all other NL users sorry that I was forced by the silly post up there to join in the derailment of this thread. My apology but my position on subject has long been stated.

I am talking about Facilities and amenities that keeps Nigeria rolling.

I ask you again how many Bank are open for business nation wide.

How many schools are opened.

What about seaports, too much Demurrage . grin grin grin grin

You do not need to go round the country to shut it down.

Target the necessary  amenities, and everything will slow down.

Read this and make up your own mind.

Subsidy removal without curing wastsge will still lead us back to penury!

Re: So Is The Protest A Success Or A Failure? by OneNaira6: 3:48am On Jan 12, 2012
Its a fail.

It should have impacted Nigeria by now but nothing is happening.

The rest of world barely pay attention to it.

Re: So Is The Protest A Success Or A Failure? by canuck(m): 4:24am On Jan 17, 2012
IMHO, protest was a BIG success because:

1) It put GEJ's govt on notice that it can no longer hide behind a finger like past corrupt and inept govts;

2) Common men and women panicked the C-in-C and his cohorts - NOI was visibly shaken in a Channels interview on Monday (Soldiers unleashed on defenseless civilians is the panick barometer);

3) It is far easier to mobilize the masses from now on, if govt walks all over them again - Trust me, GEJ will avoid a re-run of the past week at all cost;

4) A 49% increase in pump price today is a far cry from the hellish 117% hike imposed on Jan 1;

5) The masses have tasted blood; artisans, journeymen, labourers, etc are pulling out calculators to analyze Nigeria's budget and question the "high cost of governance" - That has NEVER happened in the history of Nigeria;

6) It's been irrevocably proven that the Nigeria people ruled by Tafawa Balewa, Ironsi, Gowon,, and even OBJ, are not the same Nigeria people under GEJ; we have evolved - The power of the youth (>80% of the population) combined with instant communication is massive; and

7) 1-6 above will only multiply grin

Re: So Is The Protest A Success Or A Failure? by 1l2x: 9:33pm On Mar 14, 2012
What failure do mean. Many Nigerians had made billions through this and would like the protest to continue Oh! you are not aware that millions of UN-employed youths are praying for such opportunities
