This is the kind of news I read that make my blood boil.

This are suppose to be educated people but are perplexing dumb individuals. I don't know what kind of education these morons obtained.

So by striking is what would make the kidnappers free the CMD. So ordinary people have to suffer for the kidnappers? Do the kidnappers care if they strike? What kind of morons and zombies do we have walking around Nigeria?

Honestly, authourities should make it clear that anyone that strikes has lost his/her job and is banned from holding a public sector job ever again in Nigeria.
