person wey wan die jam who go kill am, while person wey sabi die jam who sabi burial rites.

The Drama Begins...

FG is well experienced in this field. Most of them have in one time supported or acted on behalf of labour before.

What do u expect?

This is real 'Ojoro' on the part of the Fg. They want to arm twist the labour and trade unions over their ineptitude. APC is a huge scam..

FG, has glorified the NLC by going to court to get an interim injunction. They should have allowed NLC to disgrace theirselves, not when the hand writing is on wall.

Share in solidarity with the FG

Naija sha

Lets wait till 12 midnight today.

Nice one.......let d best team win!!!

I miss the NLC oshiomole

Great and proactive action by FG.

If NLC cannot fight for workers salaries in states owing many months, it has no credibility to protest subsidy removal.

Is that what we need now?

I need that strike asap...IT IS A MUST!!!

strike to distrupt or paralize business activities while NLC officials are feeding fat. We are not interested in strike, not now. Wht labour should do is to push for increase in wages. Like sb said earlier today, let labour go to chinese, Lebanese companies?& see hw Nigerians are been treated. Labour u ar on ur own

DropSense has spoken

Fulanis are very smart people they take the case to a court where the judge is from southwest Yoruba man, yesterday they send an Igbo to go defend the fuel increment in parliament

Always using the southerners to clean their dirty policy

We are now in real democracy . It is court that will settle the matter. I do my job,you do your own nobody act as a threat to another. NLC over to you...it is a new day & a new order. May God bless the honourable justices to do justice without bias

See matter..
