The Painful End Of A Wonderful Start. NLC Calls Off Protest


What can I or anyone say concerning how the whole protest and campaigns for a revolution in Nigeria ended. At first when the whole protest started with the massive turn out of protesters who took to the the streets and parks ready to sacrifice ought in order to reclaim their rights and privileges, I thought the time for a True revolution has come for us thinking we have all learned from what happened in Tunisia, Egypt, Ivory coast and Libya. But I was left more disappointed than I was at the time the removal of fuel subsidy was imposed on us at a time we least expected when those (NLC & TUC) we thought would be the engine room to bring out a productive result from the protest all went and did otherwise behind the backs of many Nigerians.

The Government first came out with so many promises on how they will reinvest the money gained from subsidy removal and on several things they will be putting in place including the mass transit bus and others which promises didn't move the people nor NLC & TUC as they had received several promises of that nature before without getting anything from it. The President also went further to slash the allowance and salaries of his cabinet but the people still held their grounds till the Government started playing their luring gain on the NLC to which they fell to and couldn't bark again as they got some juicy bone from the government which made them settle at Ninety seven Naira per liter which was contrary to what they agreed to accept before.

This single act has really set the Country and its people backward as i don't think there would ever be a massive move for change as we saw these past days. We got our chance to take back our nation but those we entrusted with the task of leading this move only helped to push us into the lions den.
