PHOTONEWS: Occupy Nigeria-Atlanta

I don't think it's right for anyone to think the protests are sponsored or that only a few people benefit from subsidy. In a country where almost everything and every business depend on petrol then the impact of a price change in petrol on inflation cannot but be significant. What is the point when inflation is hitting 20%? What inflation does is to steal your money, your purchasing power becomes lower and lower despite earning the same salary. It's a bleak future for salary earners. Business men will naturally transfer the effect to others so the impact will be minimal. In my opinion Organised labour is in order to go on strike and Nigerians are right to protest. Subsidy removal has always been a World Bank/IMF agenda but they have never complained about US subsidy on food and wheat. I think we should use home grown solution to solve our economic problems. Most of these foreign people don't understand how we live.

Jonathan is a dictator,no matter what good he meant with the removal of pms subsidy,we can't trust him with his decisions because of his past failures...He can't deliver.we can't wait for his term to be over.We're suffering.

@T-boy, You were right, the Nigerian protest is sponsored by western powers in the person of western nigerian state governments and the oil cabal. The tragedy is that very few people will continue to benefit from the oil subsidy regime because they are certainly responsible for sabotaging local refining efforts by ensuring our refinaries doesn't work. Now the rug is being pulled from under them, they are fighting back. My sincere hope is that the protest continue, the looting continue, the destruction continue and Nigeria be like Syria and ultimately Sudan. We all want to occupy our various abodes. Why the sentivity about oil when the NLC, TUC etc sat by abd watch their fellow citizens murdered on daily basis and still dying. Soon, the chickens will come to roost.

Nigerians, People, please watch out! That treacherous dog, Omar is already talking with Jonathan. Nothing but sell-out will come out of it. Nigerians should listen to credible leaders and not moles like Omar. The issue is no longer fight against removal of subsidy, but fight against oppression, corruption, inefficiency........ These garbage of a people should just go! And Omar's NLC can never assist us achieve that. REVOLUTION!

It's time for us all to stand up and stop cuddling these thieves when they come abroad. Some of us are complicit in their getting away with bold face theft. Tell me where in Africa are they spending all their loot? They are helping to destroy a continent, transfering their loot to far away land from Nigeria. Let's start naming them in the open and make them pariahs where ever they go on this globe. We should not give up! God bless Nigeria

I am beginning to see revolution. When it started in other countries, i used to think it was the work of the western powers, but what is happening in Nigeria confirmed to me that the people, and not the western powers start the revolution for the betterment of their life. God help!!!
