Fellow Citizens,

Lets neglect comments of our beloved brothers and sisters from the east and south south- Their comments is a type of corruption in itself called nepotism - i.e. giving unmerited favour to your kinsman at ALL COST when he least deserves it. OBJ did not win election even in his ward in south west in 1999 but we delivered the west to Jonathan in 2011. We are civilized people without sentiment. We protested against some people called cabals to make sure Jonathan was confirmed acting president. No sentiment

Where was SS/SE when we protested against the CABALs who failed to make Jonathan the substantive acting president when Yar adua was sick? Did they join in the protest? No. Where were they when we protested against Abacha and IBB? Where were they when we protested against OBJ on fuel subsidy led by Oshiomole? Where were they when we protested against the annulment of June 12 election. Where were they when The Ganis, Kutis, Falanas, alfreds, faseuns, Adesanyas e.tc were laying their lives to make Our President beneficiary of the struggles he knows little about. The history of civil protest in Nigeria has also been without them because they are educationally disadvantage, they cannot protest for or against what they don't even understand.

Jonathan came to Lagos and danced before us like a beggar pleading for our votes, he danced to the same music we played at Gani-Fawehinmi park we trusted him and voted him, even OBJ did not get that kind of support. Now we did the same thing and people who now claim to be his brother are angry, Jona himself is angry. Why are you angry? What kind of people would call a fellow man Monkey? We understand the average psyche of anyone from the east, you got admitted to our universities with 5 ordinary passes because we recognised you are educational disadvantage and we don't expect much sense from you.

If you can relate well with your environment, you would agree that the protest was avoidable, if Our President (Not Ijaw or Ibo President) respect the constitution he swore to uphold. The National Assemble - Who were the representative of the people convened on an usual day -Sunday- and spoke with one voice that he should revert back to 65 Naira. But he declined. When the President violate the principle of democracy and disrespect the peoples reepresentatives he gets what he deserves-Peaceful protest.Respect is reciprocal.

Should a man who lives on the bank of the river wash his hand with spittle? - An Ibo Proverb
Should a man bite the finger that fed him? An Ibo Proverbs
Is it not greed that makes an hunter who killed an elephant to still want to hunt for rats on his way home?

While I agree that it is never right to Kill another man for any reason like the Boko-Haram sect, It is the act of oppression through military force like the ones deployed to forestall peaceful protest in Gani Fawehinmi Park that might have been responsible for the creation of such sect. Your sect in south south (Kidnappers) and SE (otokoto) was the result of similar neglect. Yar-Adua was responsible enough to listen to you, bring you out of the creeks and send you to school so that you behave like responsible people. Because he listened he even appointed - Jonathan as his running mate. Let Our President - Not Ijaw or SS or SE President listen to us and we would have a better Nigeria.

Your sense is on your feet. You are walking on your senses. In your mind you have spoken well. All your damned analysis are wrong. I don't even know where to start from. You said the history of civil protest has always been without the SS. Yet you mentioned Oshiomhole leading a protest. I ask you which region is he from?
The members of assembly that first started the move that GEJ be  made acting president, where are they from? I can go on and on your write up is filled with lies and rubbish. If you don't have better things to do i suggest you start sukin your thumb.

Fools!

I am surprised a lot of people are showing righteous anger at our Labour Leaders right now!

Seems we are all poor students of history?

"If you know where you are coming from, it wont be difficult to know where you're going".

There is something called EVOLUTION and one can evolve for Good or Bad.

Our Labour Leaders. especially Oshiomole and Reuben Abatti have evolved into shameless men-of-the-belly.
It is what they would eat/steal that controls what they say or do.
I have posted the "Evolution of Reuben Abati", somewhere here on Nairaland, from the vibrant pen-radical, to a muppet and Presidential Otimkpu!

[b]For example, lets see Oshiomole within just the last decade:[/b]

OSHIOMHOLE’S METAMORPHORSIS

15/01/2012 11:56:00


Comrade Adams Oshiomhole…President, Nigeria Labour Congress (as he then was) had this to say at various times about removal of subsidy on petrol and deregulation of the industry.

“Our leaders should go into the Guinness Book of Records for fighting poverty by increasing the price of fuel and stopping Christmas gifts."- Oshiomhole addressing the press, Presidential Villa, Abuja, 2001.

“We are saying to government, until your poverty eradication scheme works, until you can lay claim to some prosperity as a result of government economic policies, you have no moral basis to extort more money in the name of taxation or petroleum price increase from the people. If you do, you then heighten the level of poverty, which is already unbearable.” In an interview he granted Ima Niboro, then an editor with TELL magazine.

“The Nigerian people have made the point well enough in the past that as citizens of an oil-producing country, they must not be made to pay through the nose for fuel,” Oshiomhole, Newswatch, January 15, 2003.

"We refuse to accept that Nigerians should continue to make sacrifice, because those who push the policy have shielded themselves from sacrifice. The finance minister earns in dollars. By the time they finish dealing with us with this policy of deformation, Okonjo-Iweala will fly back to United States to stay with her husband and children."- Thisday, 1st November 2004.

"This struggle must now be deregulated. We must go beyond the issue of price to include all those problems associated the growing state of hopelessness and the growing level of destitution and above all, the political regime that has made dialogue completely impossible. Those issues will be articulated by the coalition and they would form the basket of our chatter of demands." (Vanguard, 1st November 2004)

“(Removing subsidy) does incalculable damage to the credibility of governance in the country, which is now associated with cynical exploitation of the machinery of dialogue and what is seen as public deception. -“ In an open letter to President Obasanjo, September 3, 2005.


Governor-Comrade Adams Oshiomhole…Now as Governor of Edo State

“I do not want my colleagues to be shocked by the views I am going to express. The truth is, besides petroleum price, which other price has remained what it was five years ago…should subsidy be removed? Yes!  But Nigerians must rise and insist that the proceeds must be judiciously utilized.“ – Vanguard, December 23, 2011.

“Don’t push the people to do what they are not capable to sustain. Allow the federal government to move forward in the direction it has chosen. If President Jonathan does not take the decision to do the right thing (deregulation) now, Nigeria will crash in no distant future.” –Businessday, December 23, 2011.

The foregoing are a few excerpts from thousands of fiery speeches made by Comrade Adams Oshiomhole when he was labour leader and now that he is “on the other side.” It has often been said that the true test of a man’s character is when you give him power.

The Peoples Verdict

“It was the same Oshiomhole who, as President of Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), led more than seven general strikes against the Obasanjo government’s attempt at deregulating fuel pricing and privatize the refineries. Is the Comrade Governor telling us that all he did during in his sojourn at the Labour House are mistakes?”- Osun State Labour Party, reacting to Oshiomhole’s volte-face at the town hall meeting on petroleum subsidy.

This is what former military president General Ibrahim Babangida had to say of Oshiomhole: ", It will also interest the electorate to know how (he) came about his stupendous riches, particularly as a Labour leader, to warrant his rather ostentatious life-style, much of which is done in pretence at the expense of the masses.

"Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones. Beyond the characteristic austere look of Oshiomhole lies his acquisitive demeanour to the extent that he owns choice houses in Kaduna, Abuja and Edo, yet portraying a pro-masses Labour leader on the one hand, while exploiting them on the other hand as an agent of the ruling elite.” IBB spoke through his spokesman, Kassim Afegbua, who ironically became a media aide to Oshiomhole before abruptly resigning his appointment.

CONCLUSION

A man who finds it convenient to change when his status changes wont see anything wrong with changing whenever the weather changes. Such men are as capricious as the wind.

We pray God to give us leaders who are driven by their conscience and not by selfish benefits; those who will not betray the people. Leaders we can trust; leaders who are as constant as the Northern Star.

Wonderful

What do you expect them to do? Kill their children and wives, and then fry them for everyone to eat? Ungrateful people, very ungrateful. Na that 141 for pay you abi, twsheew!.

I don't know if i am naive or simply not reading things correctly, but i don't think NLC/NUC officials were bribed.

I believe listening to Esele's interview on BBC this morning that they were ambushed. Abdul-Waheed does not have the oratorical power of Oshiomole and needed to be careful not to be accused with ethnic/religious bias. Esele is a staunch supporter of GEJ. He was one of those who introduced the ethnic card in the debate leading to the Presidential election. He publicly supported the outcome as being unassailable.

Oshiomole is a disappointment to me personally. If i know what i can do physically and otherwise, i would want him to loose his re-election bid. May God protect us from such dangerous men like OSHIOMOLE!
