Let me tell you a little story.

Back in 2012, for those of you who were too young to know, on New Year Day 2012, then President Goodluck Jonathan jacked up petrol prices from 65naira to 141naira. This caused more than 100% increase in petrol price and more than 100% rise in price of foods, goods and commodities.

The current clowns in govt today- who were opposition leaders at the time- rallied Nigerians and labour unions across the country in a nationwide multistate gigantic protests that brought the entire country to its knees. Those morons argued that fuel subsidy removal was insensitive, inhumane and unjust considering the hardship that Nigerians were facing. There was massive protests across Lagos, Lokoja, maiduguri, sokoto and many other places.

Many people got arrested, about 17protesters were reportedly killed and eventually the protests were forcefully dispersed when the govt rolled out tanks onto the streets and settled for a pump price of 97naira after dialogue with labour unions- a “dialogue” many saw at the time as some form of a sellout by Labour (which is why many still don’t trust the NLC till today. But that’s another day’s talk).

Fast forward to 2015;
The emergency “defenders of democracy” and “friends of the masses” dislodged President GEJ in the elections heavily influenced by USA interference, on the back of the OccupyNigeria2012 as it was called as well as the boko haram kidnap of the 276girls and the party APC won.

By 2023,
These criminals have been in power for 8years and have successfully made Nigerians lives worse and miserable with far more people running abroad for greener pastures even if it meant menial degrading undignified jobs. It’s at least better to be alive with a means of livelihood abroad than to stay at home and die of inevitable starvation.

By June 2023;
Shortly after the handover;
The newly “elected” government announced a sudden knee-jerk removal of petrol subsidies. This sudden thoughtless reckless announcement caused the average petrol price in Nigeria to immediately reach 530 naira per liter, a drastic increase of 208percent from the preceding year. This caused worsening inflation, rising cost of living and untold hardship. There was zero protests or pushbacks apart from a few memes and jokes on twitter. Like the proverbial frog in boiling water, Nigerians just lived with the hardship.

Today in June 2024;
After one year of being in power and doing absolutely nothing to improve the lives of masses, petrol price is 800naira, one loaf of sliced bread is 1,500Naira; four pieces of tomatoes is 1,000naira, one bucket of garri is 4,000naira (all generally an increase of about 3-4times what it all used to be). And all of this while the minimum wage is barely 1 dollar a day.

Today, the labour unions announce a nationwide strike, and the govt in power is threatening jail and labelling the unions and workers as criminals.

Now interestingly, these little pharaohs in govt today were the spearheads and architects of the 2012 nationwide civil disobedience on the exact same basis of cost of living crisis due to petrol prices.

Anyway I write all that to say,
Let nobody blackmail you into thinking that standing up to a tyrannical oppressive insensitive govt is wrong or unjustified.

They did exactly the same thing in 2012. They brought Lagos down to its knees- which was and is the economic powerhouse of the country.

It is a shame that those who rode on the anger and the voices of the people to get into power now want to strangle the people and bury their voices.

Don’t fall for it.
Speak for your right.
You are a citizen not a slave.

It is slaves that are threatened with jail and death if they disobey, resist or speak up.

Even Nebuchadnezzar will express shock at the kind of atrocities this political class has gotten away with.

You have a voice. Use it. Speak up.
You have a right to speak. As citizens. As freeborns. Not on your knees. Or in chains. Or like slaves.

The choice is yours.

Stop normalizing daily alcohol consumption. Chronic alcohol intake can cause a type of serious liver disease known as cirrhosis, and you may not know about it until it is too late. Repost for others.

On an annual basis, about $25 Billion is remitted by Nigerian migrant workers globally to Nigeria. This represents about 80% of our budget. So, the argument for Nigeria to focus on human capital as its greatest asset cannot be over-emphasized - Christian Udechukwu

Abia State becomes the first state in Nigeria's 4th Republic to successfully elect a governor from an independent political platform built 100% on organic democracy, as against elite consensus.

Actual progressiveness.
