Nigerian youths have been pushed to the wall by the removal of fuel subsidy on the 1st of January 2012 by the Jonathan Goodluck administration.
Unknown to the government, the youths have been waiting for a moment like this in order to demonstrate their anger about corruption and lack of trust on their government, not minding that the government have promised them that the money will be used for infrastructural development.
The question now is how long will this last and what will the government do? Back down and listen to the voice of the people or disregard the youths and carry on with IMF policy.
Nigerians are tired and ready to occupy their country, enough is enough. Some youths have been killed by the Nigerian Police but that did not stopped them from protesting on the streets rather it has encouraged them so that their deaths will not be in vain. (May their souls rest in perfect peace Amen)
Where do we go from here, is democracy no longer the government of the people by the people and for the people? Are we practising cabalcracy where few people described as cabals take the economy of the country as a personal business.
