Exposed: How Diezani Allison-Madueke and family lives large on NNPC



These undated photos first obtained by the Nigerian Internet news website DailyPost Nigeria show the young son of Nigeria's Oil Minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke, basking in luxury while the Nigerian masses starve and scrounge about for the bare necessities of life.

One of the photos shows Mrs. Alison-Madueke, long accused of involvement in a slew of corrupt deals in the oil industry, riding in a limousine with members of her family and NNPC officials.

Another set of photos focus on the young son, named Ugonna Madueke. At a time that the majority of Nigerians are sentenced to extreme poverty and disillusionment, it is unconscionable that the minister and her family live in opulent splendor, their lives complete with private jet(s), expensive vacations, frolicking with local and international superstars such as Dbanj, Neyo and Cecil Hammond.

And they tell us there is no money. F**k the Nigerian Government, the Labour leaders, all of you all. I hope you all die eating shit because this is really painful

Presidential Address On The Implementation Of The Deregulation Policy In The Downstream Sector Of The Petroleum Industry, Sunday, January 15, 2012

Dear Compatriots,

1. This is the second time in two weeks I will address you on the deregulation of the downstream petroleum sector. In the last seven days, the nation has witnessed a disruption of economic activities. Although, the economic imperatives for the policy have been well articulated by government, the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) went ahead to declare a nationwide strike.

2. There was also near-breakdown of law and order in certain parts of the country as a result of the activities of some persons or groups of persons who took advantage of the situation to further their narrow interests by engaging in acts of intimidation, harassment and outright subversion of the Nigerian state. I express my sympathy to those who were adversely affected by the protests.

3. At the inception of the deregulation policy, Government had set up the Justice Alfa Belgore Committee to liaise with Labour and other stakeholders to address likely grey areas in the policy, but despite all our efforts, Labour refused the option of dialogue and also disobeyed a restraining order of the National Industrial Court of Nigeria.

4. However, following the intervention of the Leadership of the National Assembly, and other well-meaning Nigerians, Labour accepted to meet with government, but this yielded no tangible result.

5. It has become clear to government and all well-meaning Nigerians that other interests beyond the implementation of the deregulation policy have hijacked the protest. This has prevented an objective assessment and consideration of all the contending issues for which dialogue was initiated by government. These same interests seek to promote discord, anarchy, and insecurity to the detriment of public peace.

Jonathan Hires Asari Dokubo, Other Niger Delta Militants To Threaten Labor Union Leaders


Determined not to bow to the popular wishes of Nigerians who are protesting against his government’s hike in fuel prices, President Goodluck Jonathan has resorted to hiring Niger Delta militants to threaten labor union activists who are currently leading their workers in a nation-wide strike. Our sources within the government revealed that Asari Dokubo, an ex-Niger Delta militant turned government lackey, had been recruited to coordinate the intimidation of critical sectors of the protesters.

In interviews earlier today, two officials of the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) told SaharaReporters that Asari Dokubo had made several threatening phone calls to Folorunso Oginni, the chairman of the Lagos zone of PENGASSAN, as well as Comrade Babatunde Ogun, the group’s national president.

“Asari Dokubo told our leaders that oil platforms will be occupied by Niger Delta militants if PENGASSAN decides to shut down production in solidarity with the ongoing labor strike,” said one source.

One source in the Presidency disclosed that President Jonathan had funneled funds to Asari Dokubo and a few Niger Delta militants in a bid to use them to harass striking unions.

#Occupy Nigeria: Jonathan Orders Arrest Of Femi Falana, Tunde Bakare, Dino Melaye And Shehu Sanni



In a bid to undermine the growing protest against his government's removal of fuel subsidy, President Goodluck Jonathan has ordered the SSS to arrest civil rights attorney, Femi Falana, Fiery Lagos pastor, Tunde Bakare, ex-member of house of representatives, Dino Melaye and and Kaduna based activist, Shehu Sanni.

Two sources within the State Security Services told Saharareporters that the security agency had received presidential instructions to move against these four men as well as other perceived organizers of the resistance against the government's dramatic  increase of the price of fuel.

"The presidency has decided that the way to break the protest is to go after those that the government believed to be the brains organizing the #Occupy Nigeria protests, " said one of the sources.

#OccupyNigeria Suspends Protests Till Monday



The coalition of civil society groups organizing the mass protest against the removal of fuel subsidy has suspended its protests for two days.

The group announced this in Lagos today through the Save Nigeria Group (SNG) convener, Pastor Tunde Bakare, at the Gani Fawehinmi Freedom Park in Lagos. The Gani Fawehinmi Freedom Park in Ojota, Lagos has been the converging point of the main Lagos protest venue.

Giving reason for the two-day suspension of the protest, the Latter Rain Assembly Pastor said that it was necessary for the protesters to go back to their respective homes to refresh after being at the protest venue for five days. 

He however reiterated that the message still remains the same, ‘Government going back to N65 per litre for fuel pump price.’

Oluremi Tinubu and three other Senators attacked in Ibadan



Four Senators were attacked today in Ibadan as they ran into some 10,000 protesters in the Oyo State capital.

The Senators, including Babafemi Ojudu and Oluremi Tinubu, were on their way to Abuja by road when they ran into the rampaging youths who stopped them and vandalized their cars. As the rallies entered the 3rd day, all flights remained grounded.

In the absence of rail travel, going by road was the only option for the Senators, (whowere travelling from Lagos.)

Mrl. Ojudu, a former journalist, told SaharaReporters he had never seen such an angry crowd in his life, as they refused to listen to entreaties from them despite their introductions.
