The current economic situation in Nigeria has gone from boom to ballistic!
It is definitely no news by now that the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) have gone against court orders to suspend the nationwide strike -this happened as a result of the new fuel price which is N145 (One hundred and forty-five naira) per litre when the current minimum wage in the country is N18,000(eighteen thousand naira), as well as increment in workers’ salaries -asking for too much! No?
News broke today that there was a riot at Fadeyi – too far, in my opinion.
Thousands of Nigerians are still in a puzzling state -some have supported the strike, others are tired of the NLC’s selfish schemes.
Flash back; Occupy Nigeria in 2004, during the Goodluck Ebele Jonathan’s(GEJ) regime – It was chaos, the roads were empty and it was global – It ended with loss of lives and later ended as the same NLC sorted it out which was not necessarily in support of the masses.
Back to the reality – More and more conversations and analysis have popped up, everyone has or seems to have an opinion.
The die is cast – and the battle is set – everyone has to pick a side.
Some of the conversations were gotten from twitter.
