Following the intense reactions that trailed the erection of Jacob Zuma’s statue in Owerri, the United Labour Congress of Nigeria has reacted.


A written report by Vanguard has confirmed that the United Labour Congress of Nigeria, ULC, has invalidated the erection of sculpture of President of South Africa, Jacob Zuma, in Owerri by Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State, including naming a street in the state capital after Zuma.

While demanding that the statue be pulled down, ULC described honouring of Zuma by the governor as extremely insensitive and contemptuous of not only the people of Imo State but also hold the dangers to Nigeria if not roundly condemned and excoriated by well-meaning Nigerians.

Known as Gustavus Vassa for most of his life, his autobiography helped in the creation of the Slave Trade Act 1807 which ended the African trade for Britain and its own colonies

Olaudah Equiano, who was known as Gustavus Vassa for most of his life, was a prominent African in London whose autobiography helped to stop the slave trade in Britain.

Google marks the 272nd birthday of Equiano, who was born in the Eboe province, in the region that is now southern Nigeria, on October 16, 1745.

His early life is unclear due to the absence of records, but he recounted how he was kidnapped with his sister when he was 11.

He was sold by local slave traders and shipped over the Atlantic to Barbados and then Virginia.

In Virginia, Equiano was sold to Michael Pascal, a lieutenant in the Royal Navy, who renamed him 'Gustavus Vassa' following the 16th-century Swedish king.

Equiano had already been renamed twice: he was called Michael while onboard the slave ship that brought him to the Americas; and Jacob, by his first owner.

Equiano travelled the oceans with Pascal for eight years, during which time he found Christianity and was baptised as well as learning how to read and write.

Pascal then sold Equiano to a ship captain in London, who took him to Montserrat, where he was sold to the prominent merchant Robert King.

King set Equiano to work on his shipping routes and in his stores, working as a deckhand, valet and barber whilst also earning money by trading on the side.

In 1765, when Equiano was about Twenty years old, King promised that he could buy his freedom for £40 (worth £6000 in the present day). Naira equivalent is N2.8m.

Within just 3 years, he made enough money and was freed in 1967. Equiano then spent much of the next Twenty years travelling the world, including trips to Turkey and the Arctic.

In 1786 in London, he became active in the movement to abolish slavery. He was a prominent person in the 'Sons of Africa', a group of 12 black men who campaigned for abolition.

Equiano was befriended and supported by abolitionists, many of whom encouraged him to write and publish his life story.

In 1789 he published his autobiography, 'The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano or Gustavus Vassa, the African'.

Equiano's personal account of slavery, his journey of advancement, and his experiences as a black immigrant caused a sensation on publication.

The book fuelled an increasing anti-slavery movement in Britain, Europe, and the New World.

His account amazed many with the quality of its imagery, description, and literary style. Some readers felt shame at learning of the suffering he had endured.

The autobiography, published in 1789, helped in the creation of the Slave Trade Act 1807 which ended the African trade for Britain and its own colonies.

In 1792, Equiano married an Englishwoman, Susanna Cullen, and they had two daughters.

Equiano died on 31 March 1797.

Over 200 University of Lagos law students have been barred from writing the ongoing semester examination for allegedly failing to meet up to the compulsory 65% of their course attendance.

Some of the affected students lamented that the rule sprang upon them without prior notice, adding that the University’s enforcement of the rule was to cut back the number of students who reach the final year, and subsequently get admitted to the Nigerian Law School.

Have someone ever betrayed your trust in them at some point in life? I guess if one is looking for some stuff that is capable of causing an emotional hazard, betraying ones trust I think houses it all.

Betrayal

Trust might take so long to be built, but only a moment to be destroyed. A fact I know about trust is that, when betrayed, might take a fortune to be rebuilt and if it is thus rebuilt its foundation might not be as rigid as that already collapsed.

Permit me to share an experience with you, just to get a clearer view and feel of trust when betrayed. Put yourself together then try to read with optimum concentration, that’s all required for my story.

My Betrayal Story

‘’It all happened some years back on a Sunday afternoon. At that time, I was in JSS 3. On my home from church, I ran into some of my hood friends, five of them to be specific.

After exchanging pleasantries, they told me that they were on their way to Emeka Offor Plaza there at Onitsha Main Market to buy a phone and that they did like me to come along with them.

I told them I couldn’t because I had no money on me. They all assured me never to worry myself as they got me covered, saying would take care of my transport. My brothers and sisters, that was just how I didn’t get home but followed my so called friends to Emeka Offor Plaza.

When we got there, the plaza was closed. We came across some security men around, who asked us to go home ,that the plaza don’t open on Sundays.

On our way back, we got to Upper Iweka and boarded a bus that was heading to Asaba. I and my friends were so carried away, chatting, laughing and singing inside the bus as we journeyed home. I was having fun and seriously enjoying every bit of it.

The joy was short lived because immediately we crossed the Niger Bridge; the bus conductor started the collection of money from passengers. My friends paid theirs, so as other passengers too.

Suddenly, the conductor stretched his hand towards me in a manner that says, ‘give me money’. I calmly told my friends to give him money and they all pretended they didn’t hear me. By this time, the conductor was getting so impatient.

‘Boy, give me my money now, you’re wasting my time’, the conductor thundered at me. ‘My friends are going to pay you’, I replied as politely as I could. ‘Who are your friends?’, he fired, even more angrily. I pointed at my friends and said, ‘please you guys should stop this joke, give him his money. The conductor now turned to my friends demanding for money.

‘Why are you asking me for money’, one of my friend said while addressing the conductor, ‘or haven’t I given you that of mine? If you know anybody seating on your vehicle and hasn’t paid you, do well to ask them for your money. Please I beg not to be disturbed again’.

I couldn’t believe my ears when I heard that, though I still kept my mood cool, as I still believed very much that my friends could be joking.

‘Guy, if we get to Asaba and you don’t give me my money, you won’t like what am going to do to you. Idiot, you haven’t got no cash, yet boarded a vehicle’, the conductor shouted at me, breathing heavily as if he would pounce on me that minute.

I turned to my friends, begged them until I was tied of begging. They only laughed at me without saying anything. Then it dawned on me that I was in for some deep shit.

When we got to the last bus stop, which was at Ogbeogonogo Moderm Market in Asaba, my friends all left me and headed home. When they left, the conductor took off the shirt I was wearing and asked me to go. All eyes were on me at such a market place, ‘how can I go home like this, what am I going to tell my parents when I get home? How would I explain going to church fully clothed and returning with a singlet, trousers and shoe’, I lamented.

I was still standing there when the bus moved away. I immediately went after the bus, running as fast as my legs could carry my body. I knew they would stop at a place to load passengers heading back to Onitsha.

I caught up with the bus, where it stopped to carry passengers. I started pleading with the driver in other to get my shirt returned. He looked at me for some time, I was not exactly sure what he was looking at in particular, was it my small sweaty face, was it my eyes that has now turned red or was it my tiny dusty legs. I can’t say for sure.

‘What really happened, why did you board my bus without having any money on you?’, the driver asked. With tears now developing in my eyes, I explained everything to him. ‘What a friends you’ve got, if they could do this to you, they aren’t good for you either, they could do worse things probably if care isn’t taken’, the driver said.

At this point, he gave me my shirt, ‘thank you sir, God bless’, I said, almost bursting into tears (Tears of gratitude I guess). ‘Is house far off from here?, let me know if I could support you with little cash to get you home’, he asked. ‘Sir, my house is a little bit far, but don’t worry, I could handle that, it’s my shirt that was important’, I replied before heading home”

Betraying trust is as evil as the devil himself. I would like a leave a little advice here- Through the journey of life, some mistakes are too expensive to make, as forgiving could be a little easier but not forgetting.

If only man could recall that mother earth still revolves round the sun, which implies that whatever goes around, comes back around. We can’t trust God without having little trust on man, why betray that trust?

As excited Nigerians brace up to start using the new Tv service, TSTV, these are the terms and conditions they need to pay attention to.


A fresh pay TV service TVST is around, after launching yesterday, 1st October. A lot of people happen to be excited on every thing about TSTV.

Meanwhile,there are numerous speculations going on what TSTV services could be delivered and especially many people out there don’t really understand the type of services that TSTV promises and therefore the wrong information been spread across.


Listed here are the Six things you have to know about TSTV prior to making purchases;

1. The N5000 for TSTV initial purchase carries a decoder, a dish and a handy remote control but excludes any installation service charge.

2. TSTV Payg pause service i.e. the ability to pause your subscription when not in use will be offered to the ones that would go for the maximum subscription which is the monthly N3,000 package and also you would only manage to pause subscription not more than 7 days, thereby permitting you 37 days at most for your monthly subscription. So don’t expect to use your One month subscription from January to December in the name of pausing or expect to user One day N200 subscription for 30 days.

3. The very first time you purchase the decoder is the only time you would be able to enjoy up to 20GB of data as bonus, for subsequent full monthly subscription comes with 10GB of data and not 20GB as some of you might be thinking.

4. TSTV has incorporated its subscription service payments in to Quickteller the popular E-payment service in the country and just like DSTV, you would also be able to easily purchase your TSTV subscriptions through Quickteller.

5. You would be able to buy extra 1GB data or above from TSTV at the price of N300 for 1GB

6. TSTV data allocation has nothing to do with watching of TVST channels but just a separate and extra offer to the entire TSTV concept or better still what you commonly regard as Value Added Service (VAS)
