Mixed reactions trail planned strike action by NLC over increased pump price

Mixed reactions have trailed the planned strike action by the Nigeria Labor Congress NLC over the increase in the pump price of petrol from N86.50 to N145 per liter. From the reactions on twitter, it appears many Nigerians have lost faith in NLC as most of them are saying they will not be participating in the proposed strike scheduled to take place on Wednesday May 18th if the Federal government doesn't revert to the old pump price of N86.50. See more of their tweets after the cut.

@J Mac, said wht was on my mind...

I don't really get dis increase in fuel price bcos it am in btw bcos am supporting dis cause bcos of removal of fuel subsidy but...

If it turn out otherwise am not in support at all bcos dis one d VP is saying dis while d state petroleum minister is saying dat has got alot of us in BTW.

So which way Nigerians and pls anyone in d houz wit better clarification on f main reason for dis increase can help us out.

Long live LIB!

The only apology Nigerians owe GEJ is for the NLC not to go on strike. This action will then be a proof that GEJ saw the inevitable - GBAM!
GEJ, I hope wherever you are righy now you are really smiling at the current situation of the economy.
You were insulted, castigated, mocked, terrorized, hated..You went through pains and agony during your regime just because you were different from the rest of them.
Wherever you are right now, GOD WILL NEVER STOP BLESSING YOU. YOU SHALL SOAR HIGHER AND NEVER STOP.

U sample size is too small to draw ur analysis on,u r tilting the direction,i c y u r powerful and dangerious, d highest bidder?????

Honestly speaking NLC has no power over this issue they just want to cause more hardship. With the strike now things will become more expensive cos people will start hoarding goods.

Unknown said...

No be only strike. Dey are only fighting for their pocket. Linda take note!

Joyous babe,Linda ikeji first cousin said...

Pls let's d strick Begin.

How many refineries did he build? How many marginal fields did they give out under him? He and Diezanu were content with giving away Shell soil blocks to themselves. They denied NNPC and Niger Delta indigenes of access to the divestments. They assisted Shell and Total real windfalls after damaging the ecosystem. What did GEJ do for the Niger Delta? Absolutely nothing. He only empowered his Ijaw Militants. The attacks are sponsored to shield the criminals headed by Alison Madueke. Shell and UK are shielding her in London.

Nigerians are now wiser. Thank God for technology and social media. NLC will mobilise poor Nigerians to go on protest with them. They will enter the sun and trek for nothing. Some may even die in the process but the federal government will call them and bribe them and they will immediately call off the strike after enriching only their pockets. Nigerians cannot continue being fools. They should look for cows, goats and chicken to protest on the streets with them. As for me, i will sit in my house. Sense pass sense. Rubbish!

Anonymous said...

I am not ready to die for anybody. NLC should go to the street and protest alone and kill themselves if they like.

Anonymous said...

Na who NLC help?

combo said...

NLC strike is a waste of time because at the end of it nothing positive will happen, rather the Union will enrich their pocket after receiving bribe to stop the strike. Remember the occupynigeria under GEJ regime, we were all made to look like fools after NLC stopped the strike without getting the result of the action. Wise up Nigerians and let's fight for ourselves if at all and not wait for NLC.

You need to go to school, because of that we won't "strike"

Anonymous said...

Can we be reasonable for once? For the past 5months there has been fuel scarcity and we have bought the fuel for over 200naira and presently we can have it for 145naira without stress. In the 5months many became billionaires, enriched their pockets with our hard earned money. NLC keeps ranting about strike where as they have nothing to offer us and at the end they will tell us to endure but enrich their pockets after the noise. Enough is Enough. Nigerians be wise

Unknown said...

what is NLC's stand? dat govt shldnt remove subsidy? and allow d so called "calbal" to continue exploiting us?

Think twice

Unknown said...

Where is even the money to stock our homes with the needful?

Those that protested during GEJ administration, should start warming up for another protest, count me out.

NLC never again will you use the masses as pawns to negotiate settlement for yourselves, this austere government will not even fall for your cheap trick. The last time we had a labour union was during the days of Comrade Hassan Sunmonu, after him from Bafyau to Oshiomhole, to the present characters, all na wash! TUC and NLC account for the billions of naira you rake in every month from Union dues !!!
