THE FUEL STRIKE

Another strike is looming and its because of the hike in pump price of petroleum.
Every time there is an increase in fuel price, we go on a strike to protest. 

It is true that the timing of this particular hike is questionable because of the inflation in the country but in actual fact there really is no right time to make this decision.
Government is not planning to make life harder for us, her citizens and if it wasn't because of the position they find themselves in, i'm very sure they wouldn't toe this part.
It behooves on us as citizens to listen to their reasons and see if there is an iota of truth in what they are saying.

A lot of people especially those selling goods have capitalized on this our situation and hiked everything in the market. But it would soon dawn on them that artificially hiking prices in response to the forex crisis even when it doesn't directly affect them and their businesses is not the best way to go.

Nigerians please don't panic. Prices will come down. Lets just give it time and a little faith. God bless us all.

I remember having a conversation about it with someone and I prayed that it would not spiral out of control. I wanted a positive change but I wasn’t prepared for the cost of laying down lives because I sensed that it was going to get to that should the protesters expand their agitation to good governance. The powers that be would not surrender without a fight and they have the resources of the government on their side. They would claim that the protesters wanted to topple a “democratically elected” president. And that would make it illegal. And what is democratic about a president who has refused to listen to the cries of the people?In their short memory however, they have forgotten that this same president came into power for the first time in 1985 after a coup...
