Dear Labour leaders, you just failed 160 million Nigerians. You've betrayed our trust. You said N65 and no going back and u rescind on that? Thousands of Nigerians filled the streets to protest, over 19 people lost theirs lives, thousands of Nigerians in the diaspora also joined the protests in solidarity and you think N97 was what we all did that for? You no longer represent us.
Voting Goodluck Jonathan is biggest mistake Nigerians ever made.

Linda no vex oh, abi you were one of those supporting Jonathan when he was allegedly dishied out fuel money to the "youth" after the election. Una don see am. Lol
I always knew it'll end this way...but then it's only gonna be for now. I predict that soon Nigerians are gonna see that this government will get what's coming to them because peoples' sensibilities have been awakened. Watch what will happen in the coming months. Dr W
Awon fucking SELLOUTS oshi! I can never move back to naija!!!! as in NEVER!!! Labour have been fucking bribed! Awon OLORIBURUKU!!
i seriously pity the masses! so yall will have to take it that way??? oma se o!
This is a big lesson for u Linda, thk Ur stars that @ least it happened early, am not happy d way u brought yourself out over this case.
Relocate if u don't want GEJ as president, when u guys went to party with him, he was good, don't u know dat money spent to do that party could also help to do a better thing.
You were just used n dumped if u don't know miss Linda.....
I can study people and from Mr.Omar the labour Chairman's speech i'm sure he was either threatened or bribed, and people!, 4 ur info dat 97naira is not 97 it is 100naira the govt has cheated us again and NLC has betrayed d people.
NLC is a bloody sellout .
May the merciful will of the Almighty be done.
Sold Out! Sold Out!! Sold Out!!! These guys have sold out, thought those days were over when oshi-omo-ole left. Cry my beloved country, does this mean that the suffering continues? was it all in vain? do we not deserve better? my heart weeps for my country, why oh why is this happening to us,this struggle has been going on for too long ooo. Even at 65 naira, the masses were suffering.I am just lost for words. I am in mourning and my heart grieves for my country.
that Peter Esele guy na thief. i knew since. see him face.
labour was not supposed to be our representative in the 1st place,OCCUPY NIGERIA was supposed to take over the negotiations from day 1,fuck labour congress,i regret being a member
We don't need no damn NLC to protest. The NLC is another arm of the government! What no concessions no accountability. What will the subsidy money be used for????
I say we continue to strike. But who am I just a common Nigerian. Not part of an organized union. But then aren't we all just Nigerians? Aren't we all in this struggle together? The NLC is not part of this struggle!!! Please Nigeria, say NO to corruption! The protest must go on!!
Nigerians are not united in opinion and resolve. Egyptians, libyans and tunisians had no NLC/TUC. It was a revolt of a people united against an oppressive government. If we are united against the government, we can still continue this struggle without NLC and WIN.
What a shame it will never be never be well for badluck idiot jonathan kai
I knew NLC would definitely chicken out! N97 per litre of fuel??? Now our suffering continues!
Very well said linda! Nlc and tuc leaders used us to fill up their personal pockets. They ve failed Nigerians.
What a sell out! No mo credible leader in this country. NLU/TUC shame on u!
very BIG mistake, they think they would get away with it. We would see
Linda, I really dont knw who visits this blog more.. whether me or u...bin able to follow happenings in Nigeria.. thanks to ur blog.
I must say am really disapointed in the actions of the labour congress.After all the protests and rallies Nigerians did, they still betrayed us.
I saw d pics of the protest on ur blog..and I said to myself..YES, the time of change has come. My friends advised me to save the money I used to travel to London all the way from Leeds to join the protest...buh I felt it was worth it. I feel so let down...and am sure millions of Nigerians feel the same.
P.S..do take care of urself linda..am really scared 4 u.
Linda, Nawa for you...every where wey belle face, you go face...I have never seen you blogged about this KNOW YOUR ENEMY WITHIN. My fellow compatriots, When our president announced the removal of oil subsidy, the corrupt and evil oil dealers here in Nigeria used it as a medium to defraud and enslave poor, innocent Nigerians by selling old stock which they bought less than 65naira for 150 to 250naira. Even the diesel bus drivers also used it as avenue to also exploit and rob the poor masses without gun. What have you done? Nothing. We are the problem of this country and non of us has condemned the oil dealers for perpetrating such criminal acts. Now that fuel has being reverted to 95/ltr, it will be foolish and unwise to still dine with the devils, our enemy within, the cockroaches,that evil lurking in the dark, those oil dealers. Please do not allow them to further defraud us, they should revert to 95naira immediately, since they have jet fighters that brought in oil for them overnite when it was increased. Let them not deceive you that they have not brought new stock because what they are still selling is still old stock. Let us at least fight this injustice and criminal act. Help Nigeria to Grow. Thank you and God bless you, my fellow compatriots.
Sellouts! i hope they choke on the bribe they recieved! Idiots!
the so call union leaders have let us down God punish them.
FUCK THEM ALL, its only an organized crime between the Government and NLC.
God Will Punish them all.
NLC president was already intimidated from his composure last nite.He couldnt even look @ the camera,he couldnt string two sentences together.
they knew this since last week,why waste our time,,people have lost jobs,money,deals,investments ..
GEJ has won abi,nice script,nice move..but nemesis awaits u..
Cant the dumb federal govt realise this fight wasnt about 97 f..king naira ...?im sooooo mad..like sooo mad..those boys died in vain ...infact to hell with all of them and that stupid coward who calls himself NLC chairman.
So why the soldiers today ?
Infact,leaving this country now(make una beg me ooo,hold me oo,,i dey vex gannnn)
LINDA, I JUST DEY LAUGH ...WHAT HAS YOUR RANTING ABOUT SUBSIDY REMOVAL DONE? LAST WEEK'S IRRESPONSIBILITY WAS A WASTE OF TIME AND EFFORTS IN FUTILITY. YOU WERE BRAIN WASHED BY TAM DAVID WEST. I SAID IT HERE THAT GOVT WOULD NEVER MOVE BACK TO 65LITRE FUEL PRICE.
a very expensive joke by the NLC. Nigerians now know they are on their own...
your Government wont provide you and Labour wont fight for you...
sad
Is Labour for us or against us? They have just shown us that they cannot defend their words and stand for the people they represent. Jonathan, your end is near, that is all i have to say. Labour, you could not even fight for those that lost their lives, what a shame. Their blood will remain on you till you defend them by winning this fight for the masses.
I completely oppose the deployment of soldiers to quell a peaceful protest. I however don't think labout sold us out to be honest. Have you thought of what would happen if a bomb was released in the midst of a protest? I think that was the angle put forward to the labour leaders and they did not want to take responsibility for any loss of life. As a result, they decided to call of the protests. Once protests are off, the strike is effectively off. They were in between a rock and a hard place and had to make a very tough choice. Your comments are pretty harsh. Be a little more objective and not so emotional.
I can't believe nig can closed down everything for a week hope everyone gets back to there day to day lives
Shame
NLC and TUC Presidents used Nigerians to reach the limelight just like GEJ did, so if nigerian have really learned their lesson, the would know the protest is not for NLC or TUC it is about the average nigerian who will not be part of the money sharing b/w NLC, TUC and GEJ(aka THI and EFS), if we dont stand up< our children will call us cowards and and prove we never learn

Look at Omar face.. Poverty wan kill am.. Why do we elect people way nor get money as Labour Leader? Why we nor de put Femi or Seun way get street cred as leaders? All JOnathan Generation.. I so hate am!
There is no doubt about it, the NLC representatives have been compromised and they have disappointed Nigerians. They have wasted the only bullet Nigeria has for a positive change. You could tell that the NLC labour leader's conscience was troubled in his early morning interview. They forgot to talk on accountability and development of Nigeria in the press interview. I will rather prefer to live with a clean conscience than compromise.
God arise and let your wrath and leprosy catch the hands of anyone that collected Ghana-must-go, cheques, Cars, houses, money transfer into personal accounts, oil bloc or any anything in order to kill the national strike meant to bring a positive change to the country. Let their dreams and happiness be killed just the same way, AMEN.
Like thieves they are they have chosen the easiest route to amass wealth because they don’t have time for hard work that will involve creating infrastructure and capacity building for people , they want overnight wealth just like thief they only work they do is to use fear to collect peoples assets
The mass rally was suspended because it was revealing a lot of information about the corrupt government
so it then meas fg won! mshewww!
We all saw that coming... I GUESS CORRUPTION IN NIGERIA IS IN ALL SECTORS
so this is what we get for leaving our businesses and work for a week plus people that died....now labour has been compromised and they are telling us bulshit...God will jugde all of u.
linda, you are so immature..grow up and get a life.ignorant people like you are the ones trying to ruin this country.what do u mean voting GEJ is a mistake.
they just played out a written script,part of which involves smiling to the bank 2moro.....
I kno thes is goin to happen, yeye leabour leather, bird of desame fether, the BIG IDIOT don collect brib! (SHEGE KOWE)
Evry naija leaders is a thief directly /indirectly.his Ghana must go has being delivered 2 him dis morning,so Naijas don't b fool again in 2015.ko
Fast forward a few years from now, some of the labour leaders will be contesting governorship elections etc in their states. I'm sure a lot of ghana must go bags exchanged hands. Yeye people. =N=97 is still too high though its in our best interest that we all return to work before our kids die of hunger. I thought labour will push for =N=85.00
everybody back to work. we have been released from house arrest with no gain
Yep, sounds about right.....I knew those guys went in there to negotiate something else. I was so sure of it . And now a dastardly 97naira!
No one is to be trusted in this country, and the nerve of them putting soldiers on the streets, what the hell for? So we don't even have the rights to protest if we want to? Armored tanks and weapons....this government has gone completely off the rails
Producer$
Great Nigerian People,i know its a bitter pill to swallow and i cant divulge why but our labour leaders DID NOT collect the bribes offered.It is a lot more than that.We will express ourselves via other forms eg internet,blogsites and social networks.I cant write more than this for now but please dont get distracted and keep the texts and messages coming.God bless us.
Coruption can never live dis country. Labour you have been bribed #97 heeeeyyyy. Nigerians are in big trouble.
Labour you have failed us, how can u agree to call off just like that.
All the protest and harasment by the police is this what we get.
Hah!! Labour e je oju wa.
Linda just shut ur trap!owning a blog doesn't give u the audacity to talk recklessly,incite & instigate d public.it will do u a lot of good to be objective in your reportage & let ur readers be d judge.........
Mk dem put am 4 141 o...labour has failed us
Just heard NLC has called off the strike, ooh what a shame. Nothing accomplished all those people died in vain. I vow from today not to involve or concern myself about this country called Nigeria.
Spot on!!! Comrade Linda!!!
When you are talking about Nigeria, there is a lot of things you dont know. Pity on those lives wasted though. Life is too SWEET to be wasted on Nigeria.
You and Nigeria were sold by the protest leaders and trade union leaders. They were heavily bribed with lots of money. That's why they called off the protest. They used the public to hold the government hostage and got paid into backing down.
Soldiers are now on every street corner because they answered the #OccupyNigeria call. Soldiers, too, are Nigerians. They didn't get the memo to leave their guns and tanks in the barracks. Spoil sports. Oh well, there's always next time - to cause mayhem, get back at PDP and wreck the economy. I told you that PDP will employ underhand and dirty tactics to sabotage the protest. Their next step is to witchhunt and victimise those they couldn't bribe into abandoning the protest and the northerners who used the "protest" to get even with "infidel" President Goodluck Jonathan.
I predict that PDP will win the next election. Nigerians are too forgetful, gullible and be fooled again and again by politician into voting in the wrong people.
May God save Nigeria, AMEN.
"Voting Goodluck Jonathan is biggest mistake Nigerians ever made."
Linda, u dey harsh o!
I can tnk of a dozen bigger mistakes made by nigerians in d past 5yrs alone!
The protest wz bound 2 fail bcos it wz 4 d wrong rizn. We shd hv fought 4 d removal of corruption in d system & reduction of cost of governance.
As expected, labour hz caved in 4 d usual rizns...
bastards.i knew they were gonna fucking be sell outs....whats d point fucking going on the damn streets?awon maaad dogs.waste peoples time,waste lives when they fucking knew they were gonna settle for 100 naira......useless nigeria,useless people,wasted efforts....God punish all of una wey participate for the damn rally.....they will continue to tread on yall like fools that you are....thank God am not living in that nigeria and will never come back home....to hell with all of u(hissses)shiooooorrrrr
Anon January 16, 2012 3:17 PM, no i think you are the one who really needs to shut it. Just because Linda owns a blog doesn't mean she has forfeited her right for expressing her own opinion(s). She has just stated how she (and a lot of Nigerians btw) feels about the whole issue, if by doing that, u've become incited or any member of your family is... too bad.
I AM ASHAMED TO BE CALLED A NIGERIAN!!! I DETEST THAT COUNTRY AND ALL THAT IT STANDS FOR......NEVER GOING BACK! NEVER!!!
Who gave NLC the authority to call off the strike. If Nigerians want to strike they can strike... tweet all your friends, BB all your friends, EVERYBODY should hold on their solidarity.
I'm heartbroken, NLC, TUC, U PEOPLE hv failed Nigerians big time, God will judge u all according to what you deserve....wicked people
But dese pple R srz cowards.........
Jes regret voting 4 dt asshole called Bad-luk Egbere Jo-Lantern.....
After all is said and done....Nigeria is not worth dying for. To those that died in the struggle....what a waste. Thank God I did not waste my hard earned fuel to travel to Dublin City centre to join other Nigerians in their protest, I for cry this morning and naked swear for Jonathan. peolpe that are serious about revolution dont tow the part of organised sectors like TUC or NLC...sellout all of them. I stick the Nigerian flag up my nether region!
Linda is a Nigerian if i'm correct and apparently she loves her country otherwise she wouldn't bother to put up news about the protests or the situation in the country, so if u don't like the way she's conducting her blog, kindly kick rocks...
if we want good things for our country Nigeria, then lets start talking positive about it regardless of wht the FG is doing. na so so bad mouth n bad belle ppl full here. labor is this.....Naija is that....nvr movin back... them beg u before....ode
So aftr evritin,dm stil disapoint uz en, God 4bid...so doze innocent pple die 4 nutin en,.mk God punish devil..nigeria nawa o..wr w dey go???
Years from now, we will rue this chance that we lost.
no one will go on strike again in the near future.
the coming strikes will be unorganized and led by faceless persons and there will be no one to negotiate with.
both govt and labour have lost an opportunity for genuine change.
A delay is being celebrated.
Monkey! Na linda force ur hand come her blog. Y not 'own' urs and be ur boss. If u r uncomfortable with anything she has said, feel free to express ur opinion without sounding impolite. Hypocrite
Baby Boom .....Sept 2012. That is all I know, the house arrest has made the population to go at least 170m. Nice one naija.
wats just the use of the strike cos the price will still increase nd the whole strike thing was just useless cos alot of pple lost their lives. RIP to those Nigerians who lost their lives during the strike
linda it look like you do not know commom economics that is why your views on this issue is so one way. Try and look at the bigger picture BIKO!
Hmmmmmm linda dat was a real one dis Pple sold us out and is really painful am outside naija and am nt happy about dis at all I really cried whrn I heard dis.won le ku re
Not surprised at all.
Even if NLC had not gone on strike and there was no mass protest, the fact is the FG would have still brought the price down to N97 per litre. All that jamboree by NLC and the masses was just for show. The FG allowed it so everybody can take their time to allow the new price regime sink in and re-strategise on their spending habits.
May the souls of all that died during the protest RIP. Amen!
Next time such energy should be exerted demanding for new infrastructural development and monitoring existing infrastructural projects to ensure they are completed to highest standards.
Kudos to labour and TUC. Una don do well, from 141 to 97. May God provide us with wetin we go buy the fuel. Iam a northerner and there is nothing like peaceful protest: it either turn to religious or tribal leading to destruction of life and properties. God bless nija plenty.
I knew that bitch wasn't going to be a good president when he avoided presidential debates and started paying certain Nigerians I know a lot of money to vote for him. People said they connected with him because he was from the south. Has he done anything for the south? NO!
I believe a lot of us knew this nigger was just going to be another president with no purpose but we didn't like the other candidates so we settled for less. We settled for someone who did not respect the people by attending any of the presidential debates. I hope we would be smarter next time and stop settling like we usually do.
No one should threaten Linda. Why should she shut her trap? What for? For saying the truth instead of hiding behind a screen? She has done very well in reporting these issues as a fellow nigerian.She didnt have to. Her blog is NOT A POLITICAL BLOG. But for many days, she shelved discussing entertainment to stand up for a cause she believes in. Compared to other blogs, she has done an excellent job.She deserves to be commended and not reproached.
That said.
N97??? I have nothing to say. I dont live in Nigeria but I feel a tremendous loss this day at this news.
Bxx
Did you hear that the kano chapter of NLC said they are still on strike and would not listen to the president.
come here!heyyyys heyyyys!!you all should leave Linda out of this! we should be grateful she provided this platform for us to air our views.please kindly refrain from harrssing her abeg.ehen,thank u very much.that said,whats the way forward? did this puppet of a president say anything about increasing minimum wage? how do we cope with N18,000? those of us without jobs nko? Linda please are you recruiting? I wouldn't mind werking with you o! nywayz,me i believe say money don change hands!no one can tell me otherwise!fuck the NLC SUCKERS!! I knew from the time they emerged from the meeting with all smiles...abegi make we leave matter fo mataias.(omo menhhhh,i need a job badly) SOMEBODY HELP!!!
GEJ looks like one that'll listen to the pple more than other contestants before the election. I wont blame anybody that voted for him only that he fulfilled the saying "things change & pple change too". I feel very much for the less privilege that wont afford the cost. Let God judge whr we cannot judge.
Labour don chop clean mouth...
Anon 2.49pm please shut the F up. How many Nigerians are proud of voting for General GEJ.
If actually subsidy was working, i think we are moving forward by cutting the subsidy. That is,if only our Govt will earnestly work with the generated fund from the subsidy. Let´s give Jonathan chance to actualise his promises n pray for God´s intervention.
I want to commend all Nigerians home and abroad for their resilience and unity in the past 15 -days of nation wide protest.
For the first time in the history of Nigeria after 50 years of independence by the British for Nigerians to have that sense of independence and freedom. I strongly believe the benefits and impacts of this nation wide protest out way its lost.
It really felt good to be free again for one to express himself and herself without interference of the military. I believe this protest brought back that sense of togetherness among Nigerians under one purpose for the first time in the history of Nigeria.
All Nigerians were singing with one voice and crying together with one voice and dieing together for one purpose. This shows if Nigerians persist in their quest for democracy and transparent government it can be achieved on the next poll come 2015.
It is recorded in the last 10 days of the initial call for mass protest no incident of major or minor crime was recorded, NO KIDNAPPING, NO ARMED ROBBERY AND MAJOR CAR ACCIDENT, NO POWER FAILURE incident. No crime was recorded by the Nigerian Police or the media. I believe Nigerians deserve an mighty applause for this.
My brothers and sisters keep up the good work . Let us not go back to our old ways of selfishness and self contentedness. We should all strive to be our brothers and sisters keeper.
0% CRIME IN NIGERIA FOR 10 GOOD DAYS.
This is just an observation and I believe if Nigerians can use this model to redirect the Nigerian cause. Get ready for a better Nigeria.
Also this protest should serve as a wake up call to all elected officials and those appointed to served that they are touchable and expandable any time and any day. They can no longer take the good of Nigeria for granted. Is a new dawn in Nigeria and is no longer business as usual.
I believe President Goodluck Jonathan needed to be applauded for his understanding and non combative approach unlike his predecessors. He means and desires well for all Nigerians though he is surrounded by host of bad and incompetent ministers and advisers all Nigerians must unite together to work with him in his quest for a better Nigeria. Let us continue to pray for him as the word of God instructed us to so.
After 50 years of repression, oppression and suppression Nigerians can cry, dance, sing and die together with one purpose.
I'm proud to be a Nigerian again.
God bless Nigeria.
All said and done,we achieved a lot as against lying down and being trampled on.The FG said destruction of lives and property!!interesting as the nationwide protests was a lot more peaceful than the april campaign and elections where there was a very high unrecorded number of deaths and propert destruction recorded by warring parties.so my fellow nigerians,we did well and i say weldone.

YOU ARE BOTH FOOLS!!!
If you dont like what Linda has to say, feel free and start your own blogs and write whatever you want to write. Lets see if people are interested in listening or reading the crap you spew from that mouth of yours.
Calling someone immature because they expressed their opinion that their vote for GEJ was a mistake?
And the second idiot at 3:17 must be the twin brother. FYI: It is Linda's blog, you didn't give her a kobo to start it or run it. So if you don't like her opinion being expressed on her personal blog , go stick your dick in a transformer.
Both of you are one motherfucking hideous dumpster cunt.
I dont agree with everything Linda may speak about or show on her blog, but I will defend to my death her right to use her blog and speak her opinions freely.
I personally, think any right thinking progressive Nigerian with a heart and soul that has not been sold for a morsel and who voted for GEJ, should have done some soul searching by now and pretty much come to the same conclusion or at the least, question whether their vote was right in this time of crises in our nation.
So for the both of you Anonymous 2:49 PM & Anonymous 3:17 PM; and any other haters, next time you feel like pouring your venom out on issues, because someone is expressing their God given opinion in their own personal blog; remember you moldy shit-breathing ass-wipes that we are in the age of freedom of expression. So feel free to use a time machine and transport your ass back to the stone age!

Thieves. God would punish all of you, anything, anybody and everything you all represent in this life!
ha ha ha
Nigerians and their foolishness.
When are we goin' to wisen up.
Labour continues to use and dump us every year.
Naija and follow-follow mentality.
I guess they will still use us again when they demands for salary increment in later part of the year.
And some people will be willing to pay the ultimate price for the greediness of these old men.
Nigerians should better ignore labour whenever they calls for strike.
They can't continue to use and dump us like condom
Jeez,nigerians just wasted their 6days for this outcome,The labour leaders are smiling to the banks while the poor masses keep on suffering as usual,its a real pity.It just goes to show the self centered and corrupt people leading Nigeria.RIP to the innocent people who lost thier lives in struggle.
Linda is not objective at all. Her outburst is quite pedestrian.
@1.49pm you gonna wonna f......ing nonsense. At your quiet time pick up your dictionary & help yourself. Stay in Yankee & keep slaving away & deceiving yourself. However, I would suggest you zip that silly mouth of yours if you have nothing important to say. Wonna wonna! You get the right visa?
People are talking about which way forward for are country, you are chatting rubbish.
Anon 3.17pm YOU SHUT YOUR TRAP!!! How dare you come at Linda for expressing herself on HER blog?! Im VERY sure you are an old ma or woman affiliated with the government that is just reviewing her site! So what if she expresses herself on the current situation? Its not like its different from what any TRUE nigerian thinks! PDP follower! you think this blog is your stupid government that seeks to suppress people with soldiers or bribe? Idiot!! If you dont like her opinions DO NOT COME BACK HERE!!
Don't agree with you Linda, please be careful on your reports. why will you say 160million Nigeria....are you sure it was 160million Nigeria you saw on street....are you sure we all regret voting for GEJ. All that is your own position not all Nigerians please
you really should post all comments. you are obsessed with being liked, its kinda sad
Linda na wa , Even Government said there is no going back aswell. is it not win win issue. Na wa o
AnonymOus 6:28 am that is the best action and best thing to do..cos d be bothering urself in vain
Linda change your comment box to embedded. Blogger now has nested comments so people can reply to any comments directly without having to say @this or @that
Shut up Linda!!! Is enuf not enuf???!!! Abi until Nigeria divides or more pple lose their lives and properties before you encourage us to stop fighting and seek for peace??? It was obvious the government was never going back on their decision so 97naira was a jackpot!! Let normality resume and let pple get back to work! Peace unto my beloved country Nigeria! And as for you Linda... Bitch!, SIT DOWN!!!
i thot you guys were going to occupy nigeria. Noise makers. Linda better take it easy on you blog and pls try and be balanced
People have to eat. A complete SHUTDOWN of everything in the country can only go on for so long. If you want this country running again you better get back to work.
See! I just replied you directly...i like!
LINDA THEY WERE THREATENED BY UR GOODLUCK I SWEAR THAT MAN IS WORSE THAN GHADAFFI NO MONEY EXCHANGED HANDS THAT'S THE CONFIRMED GIST
Lind,
You really ought to show more respect and patroitism now. The labour leaders are not fools.You are an outsider and therefore do not know what the real situation is.Both the government and the labor leaders deserve some respect.NLC was able to bring the price down to N97 and the government was able to shift their position.
The way you keep stressing on the GEJ, one would think that previous Nigerian leaders were super. Now go back in history and tell me which president that was all that.
My position is that every Nigerian have failed that nation,-not just GEJ.
We do sincerely need change in Nigeria.We should all resolve to be that change.From today, let us ask ourselves daily what we are doing to make that country great.Every little effort matters and everybody can make a countribution.GEJ is just one individual and a tree does not make a forest.
pls!pls! stop attacking linda. Linda is also standing up for the commom peasant on the street thru her blog. pls let her be!Linda ignore all negative comments here and once small, thank you for reaching out to us thru ur blog.xoxo♥!
frm the on set i dont like that man ,he cant talk he is acting as if someone sum were is tellin me wat to stay and do,he is nt a leader and to me he is nt different frm the goverment.
Linda, you dey here dey yarn dust about Jonathan without bothering to educate yourself on the issues... The government has been repairing refineries since before you were born and they have not worked.. Is it not better to deregulate and hand it over to private organisations who will no doubt handle it better?

Three faces of cowards.Three judas.They have taken their place in history alongside Hitler.
Yes,mayb u don't know,but Linda is right! Voting Gej or Pdp is a very big mistake...J̲̥̅̊u̶̲̥̅̊s̶̲̥̅̊t̲̥̅̊ sdfu åπϑ sit down.. A̶̲̥̅♏ sure he's got nothing Τ̲̅ȍ offer us,make Ώє̲̣̣ siddon dey look now...Msheeeew!
Linda was right we all disappointed with GEJ..who would have thought he would bring out the Army to suppress the people..
We have been here before when Nzeogwu led the 66 Coup it was seen as an Igbo initiative which was wrong..he was more Hausa than Igbo..yet the Hausas all got sentimental..fast forward..2012..The South South and South East have done the same..some paid to go on every blog to attack those opposing GEJ's policy not the man..supporting the Army on the streets..supporting subsidy removal how absurd is that!!..cos he's South South!!..9ja would never get past the ethnic angle..
What has GEJ done for South/East anyway apart from token Ministerial positions..paying his cronies in his home state!!..Boko Haram is still killing Igbos..what has he done not a single arrest of significance..couldn't even lodge an appeal against the Borno court awarding 100 million to the widow of the slain Boko spokesman..like the Hausas that killed and maimed the igbos in 66..what have they got to show for it apart from the very few ruling elite??..still as poor and uneducated as 66..and look at the development of South South..not much going for it...either
History would not be kind on certain people..and some groups of people would cry wolf..and those cries would go unanswered!!
of course joNathan is d biggest mistake NIgerians ever made. he has no respect for it's citizens who got is big head in
IFE,,,u must be a frustrated person......y call linda a bitch??what has that got to do with the NLC/FG issue???? evryone has a right to his/her opinion,,,moreover its Linda's blog and she has the right to write whateva she likes,,,,if u dont like it,,,get ur foolish hands and retarded brain cells to create ur own blog,,,u fool!!!
I hear NLC was settled with money! One day all these people will see God's wrath honestly.
i guess u should drop ur stories n stop holding any form of personal/selfish opinion...k...for profession sake...nice1 by d way
This was not what you promise us,Mr Omar you promise Nigerians #65 not #97,Honestly we are disappointed.

I undertand your views but any well meaning Nigerian should be glad the protest is over.For a whole six days,everything was at a stand still. We really have to move on.
True the massess did not get exactly what they wanted but they got something. No labour union has ever received 100% of what it is asking from the government in the history of mankind.The two parties usually compromises-each giving up something. In this case, none of the parties got what they were asking for. They all gave up something.
For all, who are blogging that the east and south,south, Nigeria did not protest with the rest of Nigeria, Who are the people that are expected to protest? Families that have been rendered useless by Boko Harem, for no just cause? Yet no Nigerian, even well meaning moslems, protested peacefully for the death of these people.We can protest for oil but not for human life?
Again do not make GEJ a sectional leader. He is supposed to be a Nigerin leader. Ask for what he has done for Nigeria and not just east and south, south people.
The people of these areas should ask their governors, legislators, local government chairmen etc, what they have done for them.
In the future to avoid a mass protest of this magnitude, there should be TRANSPARENCY in every level of governance in Nigeria.When people are given account of where their money go, they will understand better.
My many thanks, to Linda for this medium at this time and the people of Nigeria for a peaceful Demonstration. I have no doubt in my mind that Nigeria will be great again, some day. We owe it to our children,yet to be born!!!
Oh yes they did what they know how to do best, which is 'to disappoint us'
