The Right To Protest And The Right To Not Protest by Nchara: 11:20pm On Jan 09, 2012 |
Those protesting have a right to protest. No one can/should ever take that right from them unless they turn the protest into a destructive riot (as happened in the current protest) But others have a right not to protest that those protesting must respect. That is the beauty of democracy: the right to choose And I have been thinking: since not every state participated, in the protest, I guess it is time to break up NLC and TUC into states, after all we are practicing a federal system. Everything must be decentralized. We want state police, so we must also want state unions, state resources and state everything That is the essence of a federal system as practiced by the big brother USA (that we all look up to) Watcha think?? |

As far as I am concerned, the strike/ protest was a stupid idea to begin with. But I will not begrudge those protesting since they have time on their hands. Fuel subsidy needed to go because it is not sustainable and has not served its purpose, but instead has enriched few cabals like Oando and co. The more it is delayed, the more the doomsday is postponed. How come no one protested all the killings by Boko Haram? I see!! In Naija a gallon of fuel is worth two human lives. Why are we not calling to question all the past leaders who mismanaged the refineries such that we have now to import fuel? Why the focus on oil anyways? Why not we develop our other abundant natural resources in each state? |
