THEY MIGHT HAVE WON ROUND 1 BUT THE STRUGGLE CONTINUES. WATCH OUT FOR THE TRAILER OF THE MOVIE"FUEL SUBSIDY", NOW SHOWING ON YOUTUBE AND FACEBOOK...


DEAR ALL READING THIS,

ITS WITH THE DEEPEST REGRETS THAT I ANNOUNCE THE DEATH OF SERIOUS OPPOSITION IN OUR GREAT COUNTRY CALLED NIGERIA. WHY DO I  SAY SO?

REALLY, YOU ARE ASKING THAT? WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? PLANET JUPITER OR MARS? I SAY SO BECAUSE THE NIGERIAN PEOPLE CAME OUT AND SPOKE WITH ONE VOICE BUT ABDULWAHEED OMAR AND PETER ESELE CHICKENED OUT OR WERE OVERWHELMED WITH SEEING ASO ROCK LIVE AND CAPITULATED BUT I DO NOT THINK SO AS MR ESELE HAS BEEN APPOINTED TO  PIB 24 HOURS AFTER CALLING OFF THE BIGGEST CARNIVAL IN THE HISTORY OF NIGERIA. (DONT KNOW WHAT THAT PIB IS, WHETHER PETROLUEM INDUSTRY BILL OR BOARD, WHATEVER).

WHAT PASSES FOR OPPOSITION IS REALLY A GAME OF THE PROGRESSTIFS COMPETING WITH THE CONSERVATIFS FOR WHO CAN SIPHON FREE MONEY( but really MONEY belonging to all Nigerians) FASTER. YES, I SAID IT. ARREST ME AND SUE ME. 

 Above picture shows a protester in #Occupy WallStreet while the below shows Freedom Parkers



 
WHILE THE NLC/TUC MOVIE TITLED "FUEL SUBSIDY PROTESTS" WAS BEING SHOT AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF NIGERIA, THE SCRIPT-WRITERS AND THE DIRECTOR(S) REALLY UPPED THE ANTE WITH THIS PRODUCTION AS THEY MANAGED TO HOODWINK SEVERAL NIGERIANS THAT THE NIGERIAN SPRING OR HARMATTAN WAS TRULY ON THE WAY. SAVE NIGERIA GROUP (SNG) REALLY PLAYED TO THE HANDS OF NLC/TUC BY CALLING A TWO DAY RECESS FOR SUPPOSED RE-STOCKING. WHY STOP A MASS ACTION WHEN THE PEOPLE AND GROUPS WERE JUST WARMING-UP AND WERE REALLY READY TO GO ALL THE WAY. PENGASSIN WAS JUSTIFIED IN THE END AS THEY INSINUATED THAT THE STRIKE AS CALLED BY LABOUR WAS JUST A SMOKESCREEN AND THEY WERE RIGHT ON THE MARK.


KANO PROTESTERS

FREEDOM PARKERS AT OJOTA CARNIVAL



THIS PICTURE HAD IT ALL, HUMOUR, SATIRE ETC


THIS PICTURE SHOWED WHAT MOST NIGERIANS REALLY TOOK THE STRIKE FOR( HOLIDAY TIME) THOUGH THE YOUNG LADIES WERE OCCUPYING THIS ROAD. 


PICTURE OF THE PROTEST... LOL. NOTE NO 1, 2 AND 3.

THIS YOUNG MEN WERE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE INFLATIONARY PRICES OF EVERYDAY ITEMS (FOR THEM). NOTE THE GENERAL TENDENCY TO WRITE BAD GRAMMAR IN SOME OF THE INSCRIPTIONS. NIGERIA GO SURVIVE SHA.


I KNOW I STATED AT THE TURN OF THE YEAR NOT TO TALK ABOUT GOODLUCK BUT
HE SURE HAS BEEN THE TALKING POINT SO FAR THIS YEAR (UNLESS YOU WANT TO COUNT DIZEANI'S ESTIMATED PAYMENTS AS WELL) AND BEING NIGERIAN WITH A NIGERIAN-CENTRIC FOCUS, I HAD TO #OCCUPY TOO BUT THE #OCCUPY NIGERIA CAMPAIGN DERAILED FOR ESSENTIALLY BEING WHAT FELA DUROTOYE REFERRED TO AS" MOTION AND NOT MOVEMENT". THE CARNIVAL-LIKE ATMOSPHERE, IN MY OPINION MADE MOCKERY OF THE SERIOUS ISSUES INVOLVED THOUGH A LOT OF POSITIVES WOULD HAVE TO BE TAKEN FROM THE 6 DAYS OF STRIKING. IN ALL, GEJ, NOI AND DAM ACHIEVED WHAT THEY SET TO ACHIEVE I.E INCREASE THE PRICE OF PMS USING THE NORMAL TACTICS THAT HAD ALWAYS WORKED IN THE PAST. 

THE CONVENERS OF THE LAGOS CARNIVAL HAVE ALSO SECURED TWO DAYS FROM THE LAGOS STATE GOVERNMENT TO PROTEST THE INVASION OF LAGOS BY GUN-TOTING SOLDIERS. YES, GEJ OR FASHOLA BARED FANGS AND THE PROTESTERS GOT TEAR-GASSED ON THURSDAY, 19TH JANUARY ON THEIR WAY TO FREEDOM PARK. THE PHOTOS BELOW WERE BEFORE THE TEAR-GASSING... (I DON CRY  AND PRAY REACH FOR NIGERIA, NOT ANYMORE). YAKUBU ALKALI, COMMISSIONER OF POLICE HAS BANNED ALL PUBLIC PROTESTS IN LAGOS. I ASK, HE IS THE GOVERNOR OF LAGOS STATE NI?



                                 Dr.Tunji Braithwaite and Prof. Ben Nwabueze led the protesters





SEE BELOW FOR TIMELINE OF INCREASES IN PMS'S PRICES IN NIGERIA.

GOWON- 6KOBO TO 9.5KOBO
OBJ- 9.5K TO 15.3KOBO
SHAGARI- 15.3KOBO
BUHARI-15.3KOBO
IBB-15K TO 70KOBO
SHONEKAN70KOBO TO N5
ABACHA-N5 T0 N11
ABDULSALAM- N11 TO N20
OBJ(AGAIN??) N20 -N22(AFTER BETTER BEGGING)
OBJ(AGAIN????) N22-N70(PARTING GIFT AFTER 3RD TERM DEBACLE)
YAR'ADUA-N70-N65(ONLY TIME PRICE CAME DOWN)
GEJ- N65 -N97.

PLS NOTE THAT MOST OF THE INCREASES WERE ACCOMPANIED WITH MASS REJECTION AND PROTESTS WHICH LASTED AT MOST, THREE DAYS. SO IN THIS REGARD, IT LASTED 6 DAYS. 

ONE DAY, E GO BETTER. DA INJURER SAY SO...............


P:S SAVE NIGERIA GROUP WAS TO HOLD VICTORY RALLY ON SATURDAY, JANUARY 21ST BEFORE COP BANNED PUBLIC PROTESTS. BUT THE QUESTION I ASK IS, WHAT EFFING VICTORY WAS THAT TO BE CELEBRATED?


TILL WHENEVER, STAY BLESSED.
