The old workers strike has come back
Years of falling out is going
The NLC is fighting Neo-Liberalism
The working class is coming back
Huh! It had been around in the corner
Now, kicked without notice of the referee
Yes! Against deregulation
Opposed privatisation
Battle against petroleum price increase
Also a blow to deregulation of wages
Oooh! The good days of labour are coming back
The working class is needed now
Support of the people appears meaningful
The small-traders, the unemployed urban youth are not dubiously called to close shops and burn tyres
They are doing on their own to show their support
The workers are not loudly called to go on strike and quietly tolled to break the strike
Every Nigerian is locked inside but very few wanted to cause leakage
Forget about those who are carried away by emotions
Those calling the NLC to shift position
These are emotions of those who enjoy and benefit from the corruption and the patronage
Those who cannot define people’s interest which is Government to accept unconditionally all the demands of the workers
It is under strict control
With collective responsibility
Those ones are not there to spoil it
So, there is no fear that the leaders of the strike will advise the Government on what to do
Ah! Where are the left political parties
Eeem neo-liberalism has made them inactive
Okay, the New Social Movements come and push the workers until they win the battle
