Everywhere else in Nigeria, people demonstrated without violence. Lagos led as usual with Fela music blaring at Gani Fawehinmi gardens in Ojota. People occupied Falomo roundabout.

ReplyDeletePetroleum Marketers are fighting back by exposing some of the subsidy deals.
They say Nigeria must know that Haruna Momoh the MD of PPMC and Deziani Allison Madueke Minister for Petroleum has been demanding and pocketing N50 per litre of Kero and petrol produced by local Refineries since Jan 2011 till date. The reason they gave to marketers is that it was marketers contribution to Jonathan's election, but it has continued even after the elections.

The marketers want Nigeria to probe the new list of briefcase companies now lifting crude oil because they paid minimum of $1 million to Momoh and Deziani.
