Anything short of this will get us nowhere. HOW DO WE INTEND TO RETURN SUBSIDY? The ONLY logical way for us to achieve our aim of returning subsidy (apart from certain war) is IF and WHEN the entire government is ground down to a halt. The question we should be asking is why isn’t our government trying to refine its crude oil? We also want the cabal found and prosecuted, the billions retrieved, and we demand transparency instead of secrecy in the oil industry. Jamnagar Refinery located in India is the biggest refinery in the world and it took 36months to build. WHAT ARE WE TRYING TO ACHIEVE? The demand is short and simple: Return fuel subsidy until our refineries are either fixed or new ones built! My mentor Salim Malami asked me to google ‘How To Build A Refinery?’ Apparently, a refinery takes between 24-36months to build from concept to completion. We not only have to match their resolve, we have to beat them at it. This tells us that they are ready for us. Now remember, Mr President has said he is willing to risk civil disobedience by removing subsidy. Hopefully, the police, army, civil defence and co will join us shortly. We will ensure that every excuse used in the past to intimidate and harass citizens are minimised and if possible, completely extinguished. We are going to rely on the educated ones among us to broker & maintain peace in case a disagreement ensures. A single life is too costly-and we’ve lost too many already. Let’s not give this people a reason to turn on us. With crowds, absolute control can not be achieved but we must try our best. Protesters will not obstruct traffic (WHY WE MUST PROTEST CLICK HERE), or antagonise people going about their normal business.
They are first of all Nigerians and we have to remember that. We shall not stoop to the level of fighting the security forces physically, with arms, or engage them in verbal arguments. Why not use the few days we have left to organise and prepare ourselves? Let me tell you why.Ī written notice shall be delivered to the police, SSS, road safety and other relevant agencies stating the intention for a peaceful protest in accordance to Chapter 4 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria with particular reference to Sections 33, 34, 35, 38, 39, 40 and 41 of the CFRN which will contain the date, time, where the protest will take place (from which streets it starts and to which it will convene) and the estimated number of people expected.

Although I am unhappy with these events, Japheth Omojuwa has pointed the glass as half full for me because the turn out was massive despite just having only 1 or 2 hours to mobilise.īut as much as we want to rush out and demonstrate, we have to do it with reason. As I write this, some of them are still in custody. Citizens were tear-gassed, bullied, chased, beaten & some where arrested. What started out as a call by Dino Meleye to take down the names and details of volunteers eventually ended badly.
The events that took place at #EagleSquare in Abuja and other parts of the country yesterday the 2nd January 2011 only serves to buttress my point: we simply aren’t ready…YET. I am very happy to hear those calls, but once again I must call for caution. The people are restless and the demands for a demonstration are loud. By Azeenarh Mohammed optimist, provocative writer)
