Nigeria's M.I.A. Political Pressure Groups

Where were the following "political pressure groups" during the Nigerian fuel subsidy removal debacle?

Academic Staff Union for Universities
Campaign for Democracy
Civil Liberties Organization
Committee for the Defense of Human Rights
Constitutional Right Project
Human Right Africa
National Association of Democratic Lawyers
National Association of Nigerian Students
Nigerian Bar Association
Nigerian Medical Association
Universal Defenders of Democracy 
The press (well, never mind)

Point is: there are way more group interests in Nigerian than those of labor; we should never let just the Nigerian Labor Congress speak for us all, ever again.
