Occupying Nigeria, Day 4

As the general mass protest enters its fourth day, there is still no forthcoming response from the Federal Government of Nigeria. There is a strong indication that the nation wide strike might go on for a long time because Nigerians have had enough and have refused to back down until their demands are met, which topping the list of their demands is the reversal of the fuel price to 65 Naira/litre which is the only direct benefit from the government that have being enjoyed by Nigerians. In a country where there is basically no infrastructure and electricity, lots of Nigerians rely on their fuel(petrol) powered generator for electricity. Another important sector where petrol is of great importance is the transportation sector, with most of the public transport system running on petrol.
In a country where its minimum wage is 18000 Naira, which is yet to be fully implemented, one can understand the level of hardship that would be inflicted on average Nigerians, hence this show of solidarity because the increase in fuel price to 140 Naira/litre will have a direct effect on the cost f everything.
