@ bluetooth - na by force to post. There were protests in the south east and that's the koko. If protests have to end up bloody to live up to your tag of igbos being "the most militant ethnic group" or whatever the Zap that means , you go wait tire. Nobody is bound to live or die by the whim of your keyboard strokes my guy |

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. |

More or less like a Village sqare gathering! Show me real mad buh peacèful protest comprised of both young and old! My friend, what's your point? You see pictures of people carrying placards and protesting and you are still doubtful? Those pictures are they different from the ones from elsewhere? Must anything concerning Ibos always be an issue that gives other Nigerians a lot of headache? In case you are not aware, please note that the Ibos are more concerned with their kinsmen being murdered by bloody Boko haram in the North. And more importantly, Ibos are not very keen about this failed state called Nigeria. You must believe with me that if somebody is tired of a marriage and wants to opt out, I wonder why he or she must be forced to stay in the marriage? That's what the rest of the country are doing to the Ibos. Go ahead with your strikes and leave the Ibos alone. Your insults are expected and means nothing. |
Re: Fuel Subsidy Protests In The South East by Nobody: 9:38am On Jan 10, 2012 |
Almost all the oil subsidy thieves are from the North and South-west. It's not surprising that people are being paid to protest by all means. cashmentor: |

Re: Fuel Subsidy Protests In The South East by dimbright: 11:08am On Jan 10, 2012 |
though not in support of fuel subsidy removal i would be dissapionted if SE/SS people go out to protest against it, we should be protesting against security challenges in the north which is affecting our people the most and government is doing nothing about it. We should protest against sending southern youth corpers to the north. Like Lastpage said on another thread we should organise fundraisers to raise money to offer support to our brothers in d north who might want to relocate. If u are igbo be aware dat ur biggest problem is not subsidy removal, view it as an increase in fuel price rather ur biggest problem is the lives of ur brodas. |
Re: Fuel Subsidy Protests In The South East by rhymz(m): 11:14am On Jan 10, 2012 |
As far as this protest is concerned, it is a personal choice and must not be forced on anyone. I am Igbo and am very involved in the protest but I as well understand the sentiments of those who are reluctant to go out to protest. Everybody has their priorities and ways of dealing with issues. It is not like Ohaneze has told Ndigbo to shun the protest or support anybody's stance. Besides, most of the eastern states are controlled by the PDP and as such will not provide the atmosphere for protest whether peaceful or not. |

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. US gov't collected $20Billion (3trillion plus Naira) from BP in 2010 for spillage in the gulf of Mexico, what does our gov't do? Have they ever declared if they collected any settlement for spillage? If so how much? And how was it spent? Presently there is a recent spillage what are they doing about it? |
Re: Fuel Subsidy Protests In The South East by cashmentor(m): 1:00pm On Jan 10, 2012 |
989900:yes i've got something 2 say, and that's why i said mad, buh peaceful! After all, i know of some peacèful mad folks here in sheep clothing, my point is, if u wanna protest, protest like patriotic citizens and not just standing in one place singing hyms and christmax carols like pensioneers! Walk around and let's do this once and for all, |
Re: Fuel Subsidy Protests In The South East by chrisosi: 1:30pm On Jan 10, 2012 |
This is why the East can never move forward!!!!! imagine the hardship being experienced in the east, fuel has been more than 65 naira/liter i.e, 140 - 160. i am very sure of this because i went to the university in Imo state. now we are too weak or probably being bribed as usaual not to take part in this revolution. i am so ashamed of my ibo brothers and sisters especially the youth. |

rhymz: [size=15pt]Dr. Dozie Ikedife Ohaneze And Other Igbo Leaders, Praise Goodluck Jonathan For Removing Fuel Subsidy[/size] [img]http://news2.onlinenigeria.com/thumbnail.php?file=banners/igbosleavingnorth_616642311.jpg&size=article_medium[/img] A former Dr. Dozie Ikedife and other Igbo leaders yesterday drummed up support for President Goodluck Jonathan over the controversial removal of fuel subsidy. Addressing journalists at Oba, Idemili South council area of Anambra State, Ikedife said the major problem was because the Federal Government failed to explain the action to the masses. He maintained that despite the protests that had greeted the Federal Government’s action, proper efforts should have been made to address the devastating effects of the removal of subsidy from fuel. “We are deprived of the information and that has made us lack comments as it regards the removal of fuel subsidy because most of the people in the country do not understand what removal of fuel subsidy means”. According him, the country had come to the point of retrogression, adding that Nigeria had relied on smaller countries for refining of its petroleum products. “What we are witnessing in the country today was what we had witnessed in the past when the British would come and tell us how much they want to buy our crude oil and we will say okay. They will also tell us how much we should sell our cocoa and we will say okay and when they went back to Liverpool, they refined it into bournvita and other things and came back to tell us how much we must buy them, and we said ok.” Also speaking, Chief Rommy Ezeonwuka threw his weight behind the Federal Government, describing the action as victory against monopoly of fuel benefit by few individuals. http://news2.onlinenigeria.com/latest-addition/132429-dr-dozie-ikedife-and-other-igbo-leaders-praise-goodluck-jonathan-for-removing-fuel-subsidy.html |
Re: Fuel Subsidy Protests In The South East by chrisosi: 1:55pm On Jan 10, 2012 |
@asha 80, if they are not protesting, that means they are enjoying the hardship. transport from Owerri to lagos as at Friday is 13500 naira. as for the people that are praising GEJ, Some of us are not surprise, "Baba" once made a comment that we should ask our "Umuna" what they do with the money allocated for the development of the Iboland. i know one day and which is now, nemesis will surely catch up with all the bad bad people that hv destroyed the iboland |
Re: Fuel Subsidy Protests In The South East by asha80(m): 2:04pm On Jan 10, 2012 |
chrisosi: first i hope you know that nlc in some states have called off the protest(kaduna and edo) becuase of the mayhem going on there as some people have hijacked it.moreover you said that when fuel was N65 cost of fuel was around 140-160 naira.so what diff. does it make to the guys living there now it is legally that price?as for the transport from owerri to lagos it is the marketers greed that cause that. now the bolded is where you should focus your attention to.if there is an election that covers your constituency make it a duty to galvanize your people to vote whom you think is the right man.waiting for god is a waste of time.as for the so called baba that made that statement ask him what he did with N16b contracts for power. |
Re: Fuel Subsidy Protests In The South East by jason123: 2:08pm On Jan 10, 2012 |
asha 80: NLC is different from "occupy Nigeria". The latter started before the former and thus, does not affect the protest. |
Re: Fuel Subsidy Protests In The South East by gregg2: 2:09pm On Jan 10, 2012 |
No protest in South East and South South except Benin and Warri. |
Re: Fuel Subsidy Protests In The South East by asha80(m): 2:12pm On Jan 10, 2012 |
