Impending Fuel Increase

Why is the federal government hell-bent on handing Nigerians a greek gift this new year? What's our business with increasing oil prices in the international market? What have they done with funds realised from the excess crude sales realised months ago? i suggest they deduct it from source if they have shared it among themselves as usual and use it for subsidy on oil prices rather than causing the average Nigerian untold hardship again by increasing prices of petroleum products.

NIGER DELTA

The threat by the Joint Military Task Force in the Niger Delta to return 'fire-for-fire' if the militants strike again is disturbing. The casualties will definitely be harmless innocent residents of the creeks and impoverished villages of the Niger Delta.
Is it impossible for government to reach a truce with the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND)? Can we get some genuine commitment from government for once in tackling the crises in the region?
