farem: Management of Nipost and myopic federal government have bastard Nipost along the years.
Many of their traditional services have been given out to banks and other agencies- giro (money transfers). JAPANESE POSTAL IS BIGGER THAN ALL OUR ACCO BANKS AND EMPLOYS THOUSANDS OF JAPANESE- I mean it is a money power!. This is just because their government never plays with it. Nipost failure is a reflection of Nigeria government failure, tribalism, corruption and nepotism in civil service. Our Government can kill anything, remember NITEL?!

12 inches!:
Just when I praised EMS at one time for their reliability for prompt delivery of my packages. There is document I sent to the U.S using NIPOST. It's an important document. My transcript for my application for admission. It is yet to be delivered because of this strike. Only God knows if I would meet the . Pls who knows how long it takes for a sent document to get to the U.S using normal post office mail because that is what I used. I should have used DHL to send it but I wasn't so liquid then.

Yet, It's not just fair to hold workers pensions for a whole 69 months but I believe a better way to have gone on the strike was to run skeletal service to clear all posted mail and refuse to accept any new mails that way Nigerians who have sent mails through Nipost would not suffer and those who want to post thru Nipost would use another courier. I think It's high time for the private sector to collect pension money for safe keeping. A percentage should be paid into the pension fund when every salary is paid in a private bank like First Bank etc i.e the reliable ones. But wait a minute isn't that what happened in the Pension scam when someone chopped all the money and they are still in court? bleeped UP COUNTRY. Nigeria is so corrupt. People are always looking for illegitimate ways to cheat other people and they boast about it.

Billyonaire: NIPOST should be scrapped. The era of government owned mailing system is gone. Its e-mailing and private courier. Government can no longer continue to fund NIPOST when there are alternative and cheaper, more reliable private courier and e-mailing alternatives. How much NIPOST dey generate for Nigeria sef. Abeg, make dem continue the strike for ever. And for those retired NIPOST people,they should proceed to their pensioners and get disengagement emoluments, all these arrears nonsense should stop. We already have too much recurrent expense on the budgets.

Mad Cow: But wait o!

Does NIPOST still work!?

Whenever I drive past their headquarters in Port Harcourt, the place looks dead.. I even thought squatters had taken over the place...

When was the last time anybody recieved a mail via NIPOST!?

If NIPOST still exists, what exactly do they do there because everybody now uses electronic mail for letters and courier services like DHL and UPS for packages..

Next think I will hear is that Water Works are on strike..

Fame333: Nothing works in this country, I sent two different parcel domestic and international since on the 2nd
Of this month and non ha been delivered. I wonder why they av to collect when they are planning to go on strike.

Bebetter: [size=24pt]Sorry NIPOST the "Cheese" has moved! email rules... [/size]

Amoda84: Like many Nigerians,I actually believed NIPOST was dead untill I tried them lately.I sent some documents to Finland which normally takes 4days by Fedex at the rate of 14,250 but when I went through NIPOST,it cost me just a meagre 300 naira and this mail got delivered in exactly 10days.infact I also had d opportunity of tracking the said mail.so I think NIPOST might have been dead before,they have suddenly woken up lately.u need to visit NIPOST at ikeja to confirm the level of work done there.

mbulela: The closure of the post offices were not done in sync. Some were still delivering and receiving while others were under lock and key. Besides,the workers thought govt would sort out their ex-colleagues within a day or two.
I have a parcel stuck in transit since the 28th of December.
these things happen,as bad as they are. No one else to blame but govt.

vandarsar: Anyone knows if the strike has been suspended ??

eduson002: If u need to send documents urgently,go to their airport office(NAHCO building)

letustalk: i just heard unconfirmed reports that they are now working. Can someone please help to confirm this?
