FACEBOOK SMACKDOWN WITH MR PRESIDENT: Goodluck Jonathan reels under Facebook attacks Fuel price hike Nigeria -nextvoice observed that the popular social media network 'Facebook' may have served Nigeria's President Goodluck Jonathan well during his electioneering campaign, but it has now turned to a double-edged sword for the Nigerian leader. In the wake of his administration's hike in the price of petrol on 1 Jan., the President's personal and official Facebook pages have been turned to theatres of abuse against him. Hundreds of President Jonathan's 'friends' on the Facebook, angered by the decision to withdraw fuel subsidy, are hauling unprintable insults at the leader who, hitherto, had enjoyed some level of support on the network. On his personal Facebook page, one of such 'friends', Emmanuel Degema Ophiemu, played on the President's first name, calling him 'Badluck Jonathan'. 'Let me tell you, Boko Haram inflicted pains on Nigerians on Christmas day, you still went ahead to inflict pains on Nigerians in the New Year. You and Boko Haram must be removed from office. Nonsense,' Ophiemu wrote. Another 'friend' of the President, Jonathan Emmanuel Attah, simply wrote: 'You have failed us. No more hope on you. In just two days, a bag of rice is 50,000 naira (US$322). What do you think you are doing?' On his official Facebook page, one Segun Pearse wrote: 'Mr President, try to practise what your preach, be more sensitive to the plight of your people. Remember you campaigned there was a time you had only one (pair of) shoes, but now you have millions and you don't remember that people don't have any. Revert the pump price and regain the confidence of your people, otherwise......' The government's decision to withdraw fuel subsidy has shot petrol prices sky-high, with a litre of the product now selling for as high as 200 naira (US$1.3) in some states, up from 65 naira (0.4 cents) before deregulation. Nigerian workers' unions have announced Monday as the start of an indefinite strike to force the government to revert to the old fuel price.:........Hope he sees those post.
