Occupy The Occupiers Of Nigeria's Governmental Authority And Political Thuggery
By Igene Tennyson Jr.
The current developing unrest in Nigeria is an undeniable and direct consequence of the ill-timed oil subsidy removal by President Goodluck Jonathan.
In the growing number of protests erupting at this very moment, the federal government is dispatching the Nigerian police force to abuse its own citizens whose lives have been peppered with insecurity and corruption.
Since the inception of the democratic era, May 29th, 1999, Nigerians have suffered grossly from political and economic policies that lack a human face. Unlike a nation that upholds the fundamental human rights of her citizenry, Nigeria oft directs the state's security arm, operated at the expense of tax-payers no less, to employ evil tactics aimed at muffling the voices of the oppressed majority.
The gross methods employed by Nigeria's leaders and security forces contradict the basic human rights enshrined in the nation's constitution. It is thus the belief of a thriving mass that these machinations mock the very core of anything deemed democratic, whereby the voices of the people, whether whispers or roars, are to be heard and respected.
The iron-fisted monologue of government to the people should transform into a sincere and honest dialogue between the two entities, lest both the international and national community shall fear a string of unyielding misfortunes. If the voices of the people continue to go ignored on the matter of this oil subsidy, not only will further heated polity by the Boko Haram militants occur, the helpless sons and daughters of Nigeria will also be left vulnerable to violent clashes, political and economic calamity, and most of all, total social breakdown.
On behalf of the deprived citizens of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, I hereby call upon the government of Nigeria to desist all use of tyrannical measures that compel the nation to lick the offensive spittle drooling out of Aso-Rock, and henceforth reverse its draconian decision to remove the oil subsidy. I conjointly call upon every able-minded man and woman of sound reasoning to publicly identify and condemn the flagrant abuse of power.
Concerned Nigerian

JONATHAN IS NAUSEATINGLY INCOMPETENT TO ADMINISTER NIGERIA!

I naively campaigned for GEJ. But it was a terrible mistake. It is apparent this administration is a failure. Power belongs to the people but since he deceitfully ambushed Nigerians & snatched power from the people, he inadvertently endorsed his imminent impeachment. He is perplexed about the way forward; it is obvious GEJ is nauseatingly incompetent to administer this Country. Nigerians must gear up for the mother of all protest. What happened to our revenue from crude oil sales? Why must fuel subsidy be removed capriciously? Why should we have two Ministers in a Ministry with several aids? Why has GEJ not removed “subsidy” on the cost of governance? The only dividend of democracy the masses enjoy is fuel subsidy. Where will 1,600 buses be deployed to? What a joke INDEED. This policy is premature; at this stage, it will destroy Nigeria; it will turn bedrooms to war zones for couples; it will create more terrorists & armed robbers!

In ogoni land troops were sent to murder over 20,000 Nigerians. The same troops hanged Kensarowiwa and told the world that they have been trained in more than 250 ways to kill Ogonis. The murder of some fake police men was staged by OBJ to enable him bomb Odi. The bombs left more than 15,000 dead-The CoAS deceived GEJ to allow his troops bomb Ayakoroma. No house has been erected in that village since then-not to talk of gbaranmatu. We have had soldiers of occupation in the niger delta for over 3yrs. There are more check points from warri to PHC than the entire country put together-in america protester have a running battle with the police-in london its the same--why must nigeria be different--with protesters paid to destroy the properties of owners of gas stations all over the country by oil marketers? You want them to fold their arms while thugs from buhari village do damage to the infrastructure again abi? haba nigeria
