Fuel Subsidy: Can you deregulate and at the same time regulate?

"NIGERIA IS A NATION YOU MUST NEVER DISCUSS OR BOTHER ABOUT ."

How I wish my dad has told me the above truth instead of telling me about his love for Nigeria.

How I wish the parents of Gani Fawehinmi, Ken Saro-Wiwa, Dele Giwa, Prof. Wole Soyinka, Olisa Agbakoba and Fela Anikulapo have also told them the above truth.

You don't bother about a nation where the oppressed vehemently defend their oppressors always.

You don't bother about a nation where Suffering and Smiling,, Lack of History, Pretence, Double-Standard and Propaganda have been entrenched forever.

A Military In Tatters And The Senseless Onslaught Against The Media, By Dele Agekameh

It is most apt today for this column to open with the timeless saying “Those who the gods want to destroy, they first make mad”. Otherwise, how would someone describe the unpalatable development that has been going on since the early hours of last Friday across the country? Last Friday, the Nigerian press came under a coordinated assault by security agents who had laid ambush for the daily newspapers on the highways and distribution centres. The assault bears all the trappings of the dark days of military dictatorship as soldiers claiming “orders from above”, intercepted, seized and, in some cases, destroyed newspapers on sight.

According to reports, soldiers who laid ambush at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, confiscated copies of the The PUNCH, The Nation, Daily Trust and Leadership, while , in some cases, wrappers and cover pages of The PUNCH were damaged. In various statements issued after the early morning rampage, Leadership reported that soldiers intercepted and destroyed copies of the day’s publication at the Kaduna toll gate. The Nation too saw its vans ambushed in Abuja, Benin-Warri Road, Port Harcourt, Kaduna-Kano Road and Nasarawa-Jos Road. In Benin, Edo State, soldiers stormed the Nigerian Union of Journalists Press Centre to disrupt activities as they stopped vehicles, hunting for some national dailies. And this is still an ongoing thing.
