The nationwide strike in Nigeria is taking longer than expected has the president of the federal republic of Nigeria has refused to dialogue or agree with the Labour Union over the removal of fuel subsidy in the country. What more can the people do than to protest and rally to put an end to the high level of corruption and suffering in Nigeria. Majority of the people affected by this new development are the masses. President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan should enlighten the public on the effect of the removal of fuel subsidy on the nation and how they will effectively use the money to develop Nigeria through reduction in the high level of unemployment and poverty among others.
Pending the time this will be effected, the price of fuel has to revert back to the status quo which is 65naira per litre. This in my view will properly initiate the commencement of an appreciable dialogue between the government and the masses where a detailed plan of how the government intends to assuage the consequential sufferings and hardship that the masses are likely to go through upon the eventual removal of the fuel subsidy.
Mr President we expect you and your executives to pay more sacrifices than your alleged 25% cut in official salaries, cut down governmental waste evident in duplicative committees, repetitive portfolios and outright transparent governance whereby governmental processes of awards of contracts, execution and performance of contracts are done under public scrutiny.

Colleagues, I suppose that this protest is meant to be against unfavourable governmental policies but alas i'm guessing the opposition and those who lost the last general April 2011 election are using it as an opportunity to stir the masses to stage a coup and take over governance in an unconstitutional way. Lets watch it! TO THOSE MISCREANTS, we the people of Nigeria know what we want and we shall not be derailed from our mission which is GEJ revert back the fuel pump price to status quo before we initiate any meaningful dialogue.
For now let us look at what will eventually turn out...
