Revolution Nigeria

The removal of fuel subsidy has prompted different protests across the nation. It has been confirmed that your bis will "possibly" go off today, Jan 3, 'cause the govt doesn't want us to upload media documentation of our struggles.

#FuelSubsidy or #OccupyNigeria protests will take place in Ibadan, Lagos, Kano, Gombe, Benue and Abia today.
