FOLYKAZE:
NLC and their sister TUC should go and sit their ugly a s s down. They have long lost the little relevance they have. These lazy brats can only bark and I am very sure cannot move Buhari and Nigerians with their silly protest. They should come up with a better idea on how to deal with government rather than this not-working barbaric strike that have done nothing good to both sides since time inception.

This proposed strike will make things harder more for Nigerians. They should rather protest for increment in their salary and immediate payment of backlogs from the federal and state service since prices of goods and services move toward North since Subsidy has been removed. This would make sense and lot of people will benefit from it. It would be a win-win for the people and the Union. The small marketers will sell their good normaly and make profit to survive the harsh time. The Taxi Driver, lil gal selling pure-water, Igbo man selling electornics and the Hausa mai-tea will benefit from this option. Protest and grounding of the economy will make the poor face more with nothing to gain on the long run. NLC and TUC should wise up. Strike wont work and will not be supported by well meaning Nigerians.

Keneking:
Nonsense strike

iflywithbuhari:
Rubbish. They will only raise our hopes, cause us to starve and then collect egunje, and put the price at 110naira. After which they will demand an applause. But as long as it troubles this APc govt, then carry on

Subsidy removal is not a win win for govt and the people.
The govt benefits while the people lose.
Now the govt has more money to loot.
The price of pms can never come down when cbn has monopoly of the dollar.
Anybody can import and sell rice yet the price is so high because of the dollar factor.
Our govt is aware that competition can never drive the price of pms down with subsidy removal rather the price will go higher as dollar exchange rate goes higher.
Oil marketers can't buy pms with 340 per dollar and you expect them to sell at a lower price.
They need to make profit as well.

I can't pretend that this fuel increase doesn't bother me- it does and it does bother me a lot. I am a proponent of removal of subsidy it's just that I believe that timing is everything. Even a good thing can be bad if improperly timed. Now it's probably the worst time to have done this. I don't know about you but this year has been very tough! I speak as an employer of Labour and also an employee myself and business has been very tough ( again I don't know about you) .
I won't bore you with indicators such as job cuts across banks, FMCGs, telcos and other
manufacturing companies... At last count it's
running into 25,000 job cuts in Lagos alone! But rather I want to zoom into the plight of low earning staff who will have to pay twice the price to transport themselves to work and back, their children's feeding and transportation and ofcourse pay more as tariffs for Electricity which is virtually nonexistent- I gave one of my interns a task to do and he came back the following day and said he couldn't complete it becos they had no electricity...and I couldn't fault him- that is the
plight of many of our people ... But just as one is trying to " gird his economic loins" this bombshell of fuel price increase drops and I was just speechless... Speechless because it means our workers will have to pay more for everything as fuel in Nigeria affects everything -food, clothes, electricity ( Petrol generators) , transportation and ultimately with no corresponding increase in salaries -the very mental and physical health of our people.
I won't say pray for Nigeria, this one pass
prayer...But no doubt if the people are pushed to the wall it's only a matter of time something has to give....
The removal of the subsidy was inevitable but I just wished it was delayed until local refineries were sorted, the budget /money had circulated into the system, power generation was suitably improved so that the effects wouldn't be that harsh on our people....
I just wish.......

playtheblues:
Good.

Owamudia:
Nonsense!
PMB will not and must not give in!!
Subsidy must go forever!!!

otokx:
They should wait till workers collect May salary and stock up before declaring the grand mother of all strikes.

moshmusth:
That NLC is a toothless and brainless Congress, strike is all they know of they can't figure another way to make government bend over. Just can't Imagine the hardship the masses will go 2ru during the strike
