I Support The Strike By Labour Movement

January 4, 2012

The strike called by the labour movement is the only reasonable way to make people in government realize that Nigeria is not a fiefdom that belongs to them exclusively to be used and treated anyhow. We will do everything possible to make the strike total and effective. Nigerians must realize that the strategy of the government is to play a wait and see game in the sadistic hope that strike fatigue would set in sooner than later.

The strike called by the labour movement is the only reasonable way to make people in government realize that Nigeria is not a fiefdom that belongs to them exclusively to be used and treated anyhow. We will do everything possible to make the strike total and effective. Nigerians must realize that the strategy of the government is to play a wait and see game in the sadistic hope that strike fatigue would set in sooner than later.

To this end Nigerians and the labour movement in particular must devise a strategy of well structured and staggered strike that enables the artisans and peasants earn a little to survive and return to the strike periodically. The aim should be to weaken the economy until the government collapses or capitulates. The arrogance of the alleged subsidy withdrawal demands that we should do everything possible to make the strike work and reclaim our society. If the National Assembly does not resume immediately to commence action against the executive for the blatant contempt for the people, we should take steps to make them irrelevant by making sure that after a week they will not be able to access the National Assembly forever.

We look up to the labour movement in this campaign. We will not accept any strike call off based on pleas from the mythical well meaning Nigerians. The strike should only be called off after the government has returned the price of petrol to N65 per liter.
