i'm joined from nigeria's largest city, lagos. if oil workers go on strike, this moves the whole process into another dimension entirely. >> many say oil is the deal breaker. if oil production was to stop, it would impact the government quite a lot. it would impact members of the government quite a lot, as well. that could win this dispute. this is a significant step. bear in mind that the unions that are thinking about going on strike -- they're mainly workers that work on shore. the offshore workers, they do not have access oto these rallies. the oil fields are based in the niger delta. there were lots of kidnappings in the niger delta that forced big companies to start automating their processes there. this group going on strike would not stop any production, but it could create a new focus point for the protesters for maybe more and bigger disruptions later. if they did that, oil would be a deal breaker. >> president goodluck jonathan has a problem with the fuel subsidies. he could also have a bigger problem with this islamist
