It is obvious that half of the people posting on NL are Yahoo boys and fooolish students! Just imagine what you and some others have typed. That government should pay them more money? And you want Nigeria to have 24 hours power? I think most of you dont know what you really want. You are obviously confused. Instead of you to vehemently attack the PHCN workers to get lost so we can move on, you are actually supporting them for all the years they have put you under darkness. You have a serious dysfunction. You are adverse to progress

koruji: Didn't I say it on the other thread? Most of that money is going to GEJ&cohorts pockets.

nattyGENT: ...how much is 384trilionbillion naira & how many people are involved?...

franchizy:

My friend abeg wake up from ur sleep. The PHCN workers are fighting for there right. FG have the money, so let dem pay the workers and the fire is over. You don't expect the workers to labour in vain.

Though there demands may be bitter but its there right

Sincere 9gerian: These PHCN workers union should not make me angry to the extent of cursing them.

If they continue to make impossible demands, the govt should use Fashola style to deal with them- sack all the 50,000 PHCN workers with immediate effect so that when negotiations begin again, the labour unions will be on the defensive.

manny4life: If govt has allotted more than 10% of our budget to them and they don't want it, they should leave. After all, there's austerity measures everywhere, granted you've worked for a while and deserved to be paid, but truth be told, most of these workers are saboteurs in the power system whom through by bribery don't wanna see this work.

Imagine, is about $3billion not enough? For how many workers sef, is one worker getting $500,000 each or did they not earn while working? If they shut it down, now is the time GEJ should exert his authority, if you shut down the plant, YOU DON'T GET JACK... Generator importers are at it again, POWER MUST WORK IN NIGERIA, by fire or force.

demitola:

onojiwizard@gmail.com:
bros what they will get each if 384 Billion is to be shared equally is about 7.1 million each, by the government stat they are about 54 thousand of them divide 384 Billion and see, if some more workers get added going by their aguement, that is if the government agree to that they will not add more than 15 thousand more, to me though that will be fake, they will still be geting each about 5 million each even my mother when done work for FCE for 32 years now No get that one as a non Academic staff, this guys are just trying by all means to keep us in darkness, while they keep making money from our suffering

Tayo-D:
I said it before and was lambasted for it, Nigerians deserve the kind of leadership we've had all these years. My understanding is that there are about 50,000 PHCN workers nationwide. The package provided by GEJ ensures that on average, each worker goes home with almost 7.7 million naira.

Our problem is not just GEJ and those in power. We should look in the mirror, not just Aso Rock when we are trying to figure out what is wrong with this country. Can you imagine the guy even suggesting that labor will accept the settlement as an extra-contractual gift from GEJ? Shameless set of fools these labor leaders are.

Anyone that is against giving PHCN their due entitlement is an enemy of progress. This guys should be giving wat belongs to them for gods sake.

blacksta: The report says only 2/3 of the staff will be payed off - what about the remaining 1/3

Tayo-D:
Dumb a*s statement. Where was this labor group when corruption in PHCN deprived Nigerians of steady power? These guys have no care for the country, just their pockets. Only in a country like Nigeria are people compensated for not doing their jobs.

Go back and read the post again,didnt u see where they mentioned that some names were excluded frm the list. Just imagine hw painful it wl be to some if their names were ommitted. You guys are callous and wicked in mind.,no human sympathy.

Tayo-D:
Perhaps you should go back and read the post. Labor wants the government to regularize the fringe staff members with the purpose of giving them severance pay as well. Where in the world is that done? If labor cares so much for these folks, let them set aside just N14 billion from the 384 they are getting to compensate their colleagues.

You are so concerned about what these labor mercenaries are getting. What about what Nigeria as a whole is getting? Quit making sentimental statements and use some common sense.

asudan:
my bro/sis,if u were in their shoe what will you do?.but that is not to say that they 100% right cos sum top officials of PHCN will want their share,e.g the Pension scam that occur recently is a good example.on the other hand,government are not been sincere in their dealings with Nigeria Labour as they don't care to know how they operate-even if they come late or absent on duty or even the tools for working.up till now the FG has not been able to solve power cut when there is lighting and thunder,just to mention a few.please be objective here cos neither the govt or PHCN are saying the truth and at the end,it is we consumers that we suffer it directly or indirectly.if we consumer decide not to patronize them,then we will see who will tightening it's belt.
