First strike day in Kano Nigeria


Nigeria government has been cancel the oil subsidy since 1 Jan 2012 so the petrol price increase from0.4 (liter) to0.86(liter) , most Nigeria’s live on less then 2 per day so the sharp price increases have hit them hard.

The government said will use the subsidy money on help poor people, education and Construction of basic public transport or healthy service and so so on.. but nobody believe it.

Since during the last week the unions have been request reduce the petrol price but until now the government still didn’t get feedback so the unions have deiced Strike from 9 Jan 2012

Today is first day of the strike and protest, I got up by 7 am since I already see so many protests past from my office, everybody are angry about the petrol prices increases, people take trees on the hand showing they are support the strike and angry with government.

But from 13:00 I saw so many people run to other way

then I hear the gun shot and saw the smoking from the sky.. then continued until 3 pm then my stuffs tell me the police killed over 20 people who are trying enter and fire government house.

Even some angry Nigerians are Burning Tires in front our shop.

because the out of control situation so the government suddenly announced curfew m to 8 am

I just hope the situation will change as soon as possible
