Rented Government ‘Protesters’ Queue For Payment After Pro-fuel Subsidy Rally
By SaharaReporters, New York
To the surprise and chagrin of many today in Abuja, a rented pro-fuel subsidy crowd laid siege on Labour House in Abuja today to pressurize the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) to accept the removal of the subsidy.
They then promptly queued up and collected their 1000 Naira “performance” allowance per head from the Federal Government agents that recruited them in front of bemused NLC officials!
A majority of the members were illiterate local Gbagyi women and unemployed youths recruited from villages surrounding the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Their leader, one Isah Mohammed, could not offer a convincing explanation to NLC officials about their mission, and most of the people following him did not really know why they were recruited.
Jaiye Gaskia, Convener of the United Action for Democracy (UAD) said of the shameless act of the rented crowd.
“We are here and for very good reasons too, a government that claims it has our interests at heart, refused to listen to us; implements a decision that immediately made life more brutish and unbearable for us; then sets up a committee to negotiate with us after stating that the decision is irreversible; is going to all lengths to tell blatant lies to discredit and dismiss our protests - including renting a crowd of unemployed youths to lay a siege on LABOUR HOUSE today in Abuja; and then knowing that its lies and intimidation will not work.”

These headphones concentrate abbreviate on the level of bass in the song and amplifies that in perfect precisions
purple beats solo. They don't appear as amazing with Rock audio along with other sub-genre inside that key genreblue beats by dre. Overall, they are the best headphones I've at any time held and I prefer these over the Studio for the motive that they will need electric batteries and they're a perfect deal far more heavier compared to the Solos

I believe that the late president Yar'Adua will be shading tears for Nigeria as he rests in the Lord. How could Goodluck and his band of thieves be so insensitive to the plights of poor Nigerians. He did this to take away the attention of Nigerians from his failure to handle the security situation in Nigeria. Let's continue to say no until said subsidy is returned

Jonathan is a ruthless fellow
Submitted by Joyce (not verified) on January 7, 2012 - 22:37.
These idiots called Jonathan, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala & co are brutal killers. This is a note of reminder to our anarchy president named Jonathan or Jonaharam. Remember Gadaffi of Libya who was slaughtered together with his sons after 42 years in power. Mubarak of Egypt who goes to court lying on a stretcher after more than 30yrs in power. These people use to rent crowd to protest on their behalf and after everything what happened? Of course they were caught. This should serve as a big lesson to cruel Jonathan. A word is enough for the wise.

Ifeanyi-Democracy 4ever, obviously u are as clueless as this government is. Is there one single reason you can advance to show that government cannot do something that cheap? It's been cheap pre-inception, thats why the major players squandered our money in their desperation for votes. Now the only way out is to continue the psychological genocide on the Nigerian people. Oh yes, this totally smells of government's dubiousness. Get a life please!!!
Why is there no love in Nigeria
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on January 7, 2012 - 22:00.
Why is it that Nigerian leaders do not love Nigeria / Nigerians, their brothers and sisters?
Why is it that Nigerian leaders are so:
. insensitive and dumb?
. selfish & cannot see beyond their noses?
. ungrateful to the people that put them there to rule?
. cruel and heartless?
Why is it that Nigerian leaders do not:
. have a sense of history?
. want to write their name(s) in gold?
Why can't they make a sacrifice for their country?
There is only one answer ... they are really bastards .... I think they may not really be Nigerians as only a bastard will spoil his father's house ...... No other explanation, they MUST be BASTARDS of the highest order.
How much have they stolen and are still stealing?
Money can never be enough for thieves ..... insatiable dumb asses that do not know that a good name is better than riches ......!
I weep for Nigerian leaders - None of them is worth being called a leader, they are a bunch of idiots masquerading as humans, animals in human skin.
VERY BIG NO TO SUBSIDY REMOVAL
Submitted by Obi Moore (not verified) on January 7, 2012 - 21:02.
They said money was not budgeted for fuel subsidy in this year's budget. And yet, over 70 percent of the budget will be used for recurrent expenditure, which means subsidy was removed to free more funds for government to use for their welfare alone. If truly subsidy is meant to save money for capital project, it would have reflected in this year's budget. It is business as usual, spending close to 75 percent of the budget to run the Government. President Jonathan, be a selfless Leader and not a selfish one as your actions portray. Cut your wasteful spending, prone down your cabinet and bloted parastatals. Cut Salary and allowances of the National assembly,including that of the Ministers. If you do this, you would have saved a lot more money for Nigeria. Use it to fix our refineries and build new ones.
