Strike: Nigerians Should Ignore Any Black Market Injunction (nlc) by untainted: 8:24pm On Jan 06, 2012 |
Press Statement NIGERIANS SHOULD IGNORE ANY BLACK MARKET INJUNCTION There are rumours circulating that the desperate Jonathan administration has purchased a black market injunction possibly from the National Industrial Court (NIC). The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) is not aware of any such injunction, we were not served any paper of court appearance, we were not present in court nor were we represented in any capacity. Also, the NLC was not served any court summons nor were we served any court order. The cretins in the Jonathan administration imagine that by seeking to drag the judiciary in the mud, they can avert the general strikes, rallies and mass protests that will begin on Monday 9th January, 2012. They cannot make the simple analysis that the whole populace is angry and that Nigerians do not need any group to ask them to protest an evil policy that seeks to impoverish them. The NLC asks Nigerians to ignore this childish ploy and rumour; there is no going back on next week’s protests and shutdown. The issue of the strikes, protests and against an obnoxious policy, is not and industrial relations one; it is not between an employer and an employee. Rather it is one between the Nigerian People versus the Jonathan Government. So if the issue was taken before the National Industrial Court, then it is the wrong place to shop for a black market injunction. To obtain an injunction from a court that has no competent jurisdiction is to try playing ping pong with the judiciary. Labour reiterates that the constitutional and fundamental right of Nigerians to protest cannot be annulled. The NLC asks Nigerians to ignore such rumours; the strikes, mass rallies and protests will go on as scheduled. The NLC advises the Jonathan administration to listen to the people or face their justifiable wrath.

mikeansy: That is typical Nigerian behaviour for you. Always expecting the govt to do the right thing while we do the worng thing. Anyway, the important thing is that the strike is now illegal and any civil servant who partakes in it would only have himvelf to blame! |

Re: Strike: Nigerians Should Ignore Any Black Market Injunction (nlc) by Nobody: 11:57pm On Jan 06, 2012 |
I think they should launch an appeal and what that does is while the appeal is being heard the Judgement of the lower court can not be enforced and the strike will go ahead. Launch an appeal first thing on Monday Morning which the strike goes ahead! |

Labour unions have backed themselves into an extremely tight corner and there's only two outcomes total victory or total loss of face, I cant believe they didn't know the procedures for taking strike action. The leaders were too eager to commence action and "show" the government. Allowing this loophole for the government to exploit is an own goal. Well that's the problem when you only have a hammer, everything looks like a nail. The THREAT of strike DURING negotiations would have been more effective. If they commence the strike and FG doesn't budge what next, it may or rather will fizzle out(hunger will force self employed back to work). NEVER use your big gun because once you do you have nothing else. Labour has only one bullet in their rifle, if they miss it will be too bad. I have a feeling they will miss. You get the feeling that most protesters are just going through the motions and their heart is not truly in it, I don't trust these labour leaders. |

This Owei guy and others should be ready to cool their heels in prison from Monday for instigating others to disobey court orders. Boko Haram is planning to use the mass action to attack/bomb Christians in the North Just confirmed most employers are using the court injunctions to warn their employees who'll fail to turn up for work on Monday that they'll be SACKED. Police commissioners have asked genuine protesters to apply for permission and routes to stage protest march on or risk arrests. Many workers want to go to work next week 'cos staying at home will cost them more. Me I want to go to work ooooooooooo Someone should plz tell these NLC/TUC + civil society guys not to disturb anyone who wants to go to work on Monday and that they should post-pond the strike till February after January salaries have been paid (hunger dey town), and then use the period to negotiate with Govt. or get court's approval for the strike. |

KANO (AFP) – Gunmen fired on Christian mourners on Friday, killing 17 in the latest attack to hit the region amid mounting fears of sectarian clashes, residents and a relief source said. “There was an attack last night at Good Will Hotel in which five people were killed, all of them Igbos,” resident Zubairu Abdulaziz said of the incident in the northeastern town of Mubi, speaking of the Christian Igbo ethnic group. “Today, some friends and relations of one of those killed in the attack gathered in his house to mourn his death. Unfortunately some yet to be identified gunmen arrived at the house and shot dead 17 mourners.” Other residents gave a similar account. A rescue official speaking on condition of anonymity said local residents told him three people were killed on Thursday night and either 16 or 17 on Friday. It was not immediately clear who was behind the attack. A police spokeswoman declined to comment, saying she did not yet have information. It was the latest attack in recent weeks targeting Christians in Nigeria. Islamist group Boko Haram has been blamed for previous such strikes. President Goodluck Jonathan declared a state of emergency on December 31 in parts of four states hard hit by violence blamed on Boko Haram, but there has been no halt to the violence. Mubi, located in Adamawa state near the Cameroon border, is not part of the areas under the state of emergency decree. Late Thursday, gunmen opened fire on worshippers at a church on the outskirts of the city of Gombe, killing six people, including the pastor’s wife. Three bomb blasts hit the cities of Maiduguri and Damaturu on Wednesday night. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/01/gunmen-open-fire-on-christian-mourners-killing-17/ untainted: |

mikeansy:Do you appeal an illegality? Is the NLC/TUC in any dispute with FG? The strike and Mass protest are constitutional rights of Nigerians and NLC/TUC members say they are downing tools to join the Nigerian masses in protest at the obnoxious policy of the wicked FG! FYI, NLC/TUC have not been served notice of the injuction and they were never represented in court before the judge which is against the norms of industrail dispute resolution! Tells us how fraudulent GEJ government is |

Why the 'loud silence' from Nigerian religious leaders in the face of oppression of the people by government? In South Africa they had Desmond Tutu, in USA, the reverend Martin Luther King and Minister Malcolm X, Eastern Europe was goaded on by Pope John Paul the II to free the shackles of communism, a hindu philosopher/ teacher, Mahatma Ghandi led India. In Nigeria, they are busy acquiring property and aircraft while their "sheep" groan under the weight of corruption and bad leadership. Personally, I believe that no true 'Man of God' would be silent in the face of the unfairness of the Nigerian society and the violation and looting of Nigerian collective wealth by a few individuals. Remember Jesus our Lord said that on the last day some people would claim to be his followers and even done miracles in his name, but he would deny them. Imagine a Church led movement for government accountability in Nigeria, instead of the political pandering we often see that sickens me to the stomach. |

Nigerians! Instead of talking about the future gains of the removal of fuel subsidy, they are busy talking on how to embark on one useless strike, protest and mass rally. What a shame! When is Nigeria ready to change it ways. A policy that our two economic dons (Ngozi Okonjo Iweala and Sanusi Lamidu Sanusi) has supported and some people are still going against it. For those who want to still embark on strike, mass rally and protest, let them go ahead but they must be ready to pave the street with their blood and bones. It pains that when the soup of deregulation of petroleum down stream sector is finally cooked, some will not be alive to eat it. |

I'm for anything that would free up more funds for a safer future. But Jonah has chosen to forget why Nigerians voted him. Which is secure our interests above his. Why hasn't he cut down recurrent expenditure drastically? They say they've eliminated purchase of cars and construction of office buildings for 2012 as well as reduced salaries, but as far as I can see, there's been no difference in the entire recurrent budget which means what he's done is minimal at best. The subsidy removal is a complex issue and people are seeing it from only one angle. For example, of the 1.3 trillion subsidy savings, just about 600billion would be for Federal Govt. States and Local Govts are entitled to their own share of the proceeds too. And no one (not a single person yet) has bothered to ask how the proceeds would be used by the states and local govts. Is the federal govt the only arm of government in Nigeria? When you protest and shut down the nation over subsidy and forget about corruption, a menace that has eaten deep into the fabric of the country for 51 years, what does that say about Nigerians want for receiving everything today rather than sowing for a better future. If we shut down this nation like is proposed on Monday over corruption, don't you guys think something more useful would come out of other than a reversal of the subsidy. BTW, transport prices have increased by 50% to 100% but my summary of the story is that in a corruption-free environment (def not naija) the sacrifice of subsidy removal is hugely welcome if the monies are to be spent wisely. |

more government sponsored guys are here to write against labour , but to me let gej go back to the old price of n65 and avert trouble simple. let him leave his developmental plans for now and if he feels it is difficult to govern with the subsidy on, let him resign, sambo will do better |
Re: Strike: Nigerians Should Ignore Any Black Market Injunction (nlc) by OmoTier1(m): 12:19am On Jan 07, 2012 |
chikis:Stop deceiving yourself, Let me refresh your memories, during IBB, they talked about the gains of SAP, during Obj, the talking about the gains of Increase in Pump price, they were government that had 40% interest in the Nigerian masses, do you really think a fraudulent government who can not tell you how much fuel you consume daily in this country and does not know how much it truly cost to subsidized fuel would have any *gains* to show you at the end of this year? Your two worshipped dons: Ngozi and SLS said this: Ngozi : the actual cost of fuel subsidy is less than N1.3tn SLS: Going by the DPR data, fuel subsidy for the year 2011 should be N900bn not N1.3tn, I am not sure of the *savings* of N1.3tn the FG is promising Nigerians, You better wise up! |
