It's called KARMA.

If APC loses the election in 2019, they can repeat what they did in 2011-2015 when they supported any anti-government initiative.

So their reason is because ASUU's strike

MaziOmenuko:
[Nah, you are a Nigerian who rejoices at the sound of bad news and hopes that it will cripple the country.]

MaziOmenuko:
[You claim you have no interest to protect yet you condemn the govt for not recognizing a rogue union! Are you serious? So if NLC has 3 factions due to internal democracy, govt should recognize all of them? So when its time for negotiations concerning this strike, govt should negotiate with who? My friend, you don't know neither do you have an idea of what you are saying. The courts are there to settle any group of people that feel aggrieved, honestly, its not the problem nor concern of govt. Joe Ajero should have taken his opponent to court if he felt aggrieved; thats what everyone does, governors, senators etc. But what did he do? He went rogue and formed his own union. Now you want the govt to recognize its own fraction against the registered NLC?

Na waoh. no need to comment here again. I even thought you had tangible facts to present.

MaziOmenuko:
Nonsense.
The FG has stated it clearly that it will not sit in a meeting nor negotiate with a rogue union made up of aggrieved minorities from the fallout of the NLC election, who departed to form a parallel labor union.

The FG only recognizes one labor Union and that is the Nigeria Labor Congress, NLC. Any other parallel group claiming to speak for workers in Nigeria is a rogue group and would be treated as such. Any attempt to coerce any one to join your strike either directly or indirectly, forcefully or with subtle please will be met with brute force. Do not forget that economic sabotage is a treasonable offense and the FG wont relent to use the full weight of the law on any economic saboteur.

CC: bamibor and his aggrieved fake union leaders led by Joe Ajaero, take note. Go back to Wabba led NLC and be a responsible comrade before claiming to be embarking on a selfish strike.

This is commendable, Nigeria needs total overhaul.

The United Labour Congress of Nigeria (ULC) has commenced a nationwide strike.

The union is downing their tools over the failure of the government to register the union, failure to address Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) issues, deplorable state of Nigerian roads, minimum wage increase, among other demands.

The affiliated unions of ULC include Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG), Electricity Workers, Nigerian Union of Mine Workers, National Union of Banks, Insurance and Financial Institutions employees, Association of Nigerian aviation professionals, among others.

Kaduna state ULC chairman, Ephraim James confirmed that the nationwide industrial action commences midnight of Monday, September 18, 2017 until further notice.

In a statement signed by Mr Joe Ajaero, President of the ULC, the union demands that, “The Federal Government bans the stationing of the Army and Police in our workplaces and factory premises. The Government should demand that the Federal Ministry of Labour sets up a task force immediately to carry out factory inspections as most of our factories are death traps.

“An immediate review of the Privatisation of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) to save Nigerians the agony of suffering under the suffocating darkness which the GENCOs and DISCOs have foisted on the nation and immediately prevail on AMCON and Barrister Nwaobike (SAN); the receiver manager of Delta Steel Company Ovwian Aladja who short-paid workers by 75% to quickly rectify it and repay the deficit.

“The immediate payment of all the arrears of salaries owed Nigerian workers at all levels of Government without exception.

“The Federal Government honours its 2009 agreement with University Lecturers under the umbrella of ASUU quickly and commence negotiations with them on new issues so that our universities will re-open.

“The roads leading to all the Petroleum refineries and Depots nation-wide be repaired by the Government to avoid the present carnage of lives, wastage of products and properties on these roads.

“That the proposed Bill at the National Assembly seeking to control free speech couched under the guise of the Bill against hate speech but has the real intention of protecting the ruling elite from being held accountable by the citizenry. We therefore demand the discontinuance of that obnoxious Bill by whoever sponsored it.

“The withholding of registration certificate of the ULC be stopped and the certificate released forthwith so that the nation’s Industrial Relations clime will be made more inclusive and robust.

“The immediate inclusion of all representatives of labour in the various committees, Agencies and Directorates of Government and not singling out just one centre for these purposes negating the tenets of the nation’s Laws. Any of such appointments that have been done contrary to this, we demand an immediate reversal.

“The immediate inauguration of the national minimum wage negotiating committee in line with the above so that it can commence sitting instantly.”

Guys, this room is too quiet Oo. My inclination tells me TS to start October spanning through to December (12weeks) after which postings and proper work commences by January 2018. Probationary period to last for 6 months (June 2018) and confirmation to take place same month. FBN need to send mails now if my proposition is what they have in mind so that 2 weeks notice can be given to various employers before resignation

My inclination also tells me that those who are yet to be called for AC would be contacted during period of training (prolly on Saturdays) and they are to form the next batch of TS.

Please the reliable source here is my thinking which may be right or wrong! Ciao

Pythondancef:
I have been a silent reader on Nairaland but I had to register just to tell how disappointed I am with Buhari and the military. I have traveled far and wide and I tell you that it's very hard to see military men(in uniforms) in other countries. I traveled to the US last year and I didn't see a single soldier throughout my stay. I only saw soldiers on TV but never did I see them on the streets.

It's totally unacceptable and unconstitutional of the Nigerian Army to invade civilian areas in a show of force. You don't intimidate civilian populace with weapons, especially in an area where the tension is high. It's complete terrorism on the part of the Army and I would like to advise them to stop whatever they are doing. The police should be deployed in cases like this.

It's just like a lion threatening to eat a rat and then few weeks later the lion comes closer to the rats house all in the name of "Show of force". Don't you think the rat would attack the lion just to gurrantee its safety? Don't you think the rat has reasons to attack first because of fear? This provocation by the Nigerian Army should stop, this Biafran issue should not be escalated further. The military should leave the court to decide Kanu's fate, they cannot take laws into their own hands.

I am not a Biafran supporter in anyway. All reasonable Nigerians should be against this madness. If we don't condemn the Nigerian military now, they will do this over and over again with impunity and you wouldn't know when it's going to be your turn. You might praise the army and condemn the Igbos now, but remember that we live in a world of karma.

I agree with Falana and all Nigerians APC or PDP should do the same..

Francisayo:
Biafrans and their cheap propaganda...
They will call for violence and yet they will be d on crying and wailing..... The worst part of it is that they will be saying d world is watching..... Do u tink Trump will come to Nigeria to declare Biafra republic or u think Israel or Turkey will wage war against Nigeria because of Biafra.......KANU has really brainwashed u people.......But I'm sure this time d Nigeria Army won't let him escape d way Ojukwu did...he will have to face d rhythm of wat he started.....

bartho77:
Hello guys, splendid morning to you all.....
Guys, please the date of birth on my birth certificate and waec cert did not tally......my birth cert shows 13/3/1992(correct) and my waec shows 19/5/1992(wrong). I went to table my complaints at the waec office and they said I have to submit my original waec cert and birth cert through the principal of my secondary school. The young lady also said it will take up to 6months- 1year before I receive my rectified waec cert. I plan to swear an affidavit backing my birth cert. but someone told me that financial institutions don't accept affidavits........pls I need u guys more than ever now.

NeuroBoss:
The then Dr Ande was my lecturer at the University of Ilorin at the Department of Zoology. He is arguably on of the best lecture red in Unilorin and everyone loves him.

In our entomology classes, Dr Ande has always been saying this from the biological roles some of these insects play and trying to downplay their notorious acts.

My Oga is not oblivious of the harms mosquitoes have caused and are still causing.

I hope I were there, I am very sure he would have comically and intelligently proved his points.

Professor Ande is the best.

We all loved him.

Denial is a Nijeriyan

The human mind has a primitive ego defense mechanism that negates all realities that produce too much stress for the brain to handle. It’s called Denial.

For eons mankind evolved and stumbled around in the midst of great catastrophic disasters and were once considered staple food for predators.

We survived the ice age not because we were able to adapt physically or develop necessary skills to cope with the great shift in climate but because our brains blocked off existential and impending doom ahead of us. Rather than focus on the daunting task ahead we chose daily chores and tasks from finding shelter, food and whatnot. We essentially survived because we played the ostrich and carried on as if there was no problem. This is one of the only benefits to which self denial can grant the human existence.

Keep Calm & Carry On

Mankind has always found denial as a necessary defense mechanism in dealing with Armageddon. We keep postponing the date and with that we have grown more arrogant. With arrogance comes pride and with pride comes a great fall.

Denial is thus a critical part of the human coping mechanism. A sort of bio delay switch that keeps us from flicking the suicide button.

I will thus define denial as the degree of optimism.

While it is good to have an optimistic view on life it will be foolhardy to negate reality and facts to the foreground in dealing with a challenge.

Nigerians are by far the most optimistic people. They have no choice on this. It is either they keep on hoping and denying the daunting challenges they face daily or they end up going mad.

We have all read the Stats that states that well over 40% of Lagosians face one form of mental disorder. If it were not for denial in the form of hope we can rightly predict the chances of majority of Lagosians will be roaming the streets outright mad.

Bearing this in mind, we see Nigerians still hoping and denying the realities on ground.

They deny the ongoing islamization agenda even in the midst of a jihadist campaign raging in the north east. They are quick to accept the official narrative from the buhari govt that the ongoing genocide by fulani herdsmen is the handwork of Libyans.

This is inspite of all solid facts ,evidence and historical antecedents that proves that there is indeed a northern islamization agenda.

Foolishly they still deny reality.
Your average Nijeriyan is no different than a wildebeest herd.

Constantly harassed by larger Predators day and night, the herbivores of the Serengeti have always appeared to live a terrorised life when viewed from a human perspective. But contrary to how we humans see the large games of the savanah, the harassment they constantly face from hyenas and lions are more of a nuisance to them as their primary concern is to find suitable grazing fields and get down to the business of procreation.

This is God's grand design for animals of prey. They exist in constant denial of the threats that loom beyond the tall golden grass. Without that denial, the wildebeest will probably not bother grazing talk more of procreating.

I see a lot of self induced myopia instigated by a mind in denial among Nijeriyans especially among those who I expect to know better. For some reason the threat is so overwhelming that the simply wish it away and where it appears inevitable they resort to hope as a final solace. "It can't happen to me and my family"; "It is not our portion". These are what herded or animals in a group, flock or school of fish rely on as a last defence mechanism. The strength of numbers and the sacrifice of those in the outer realms of the herd gives the members solace.

So in so many ways, those who refuse to see the reality are those who are in denial of the threat and who arrogate a sense of immunity from the same threat on the very hope that some others will have to be sacrificed for them to live.

This is the life of a rat and not a man.

"The system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it"

Bamibor... my question in no way got answered... You circled around it.. The question goes... What are you trying to do with this post? Are you trying to create or encourage the creation of a movement... or are you just telling us in your own way the same thing we already know but are too lazy to change?

The truth will kill these zombies that's why they avoid it like vampires avoid bright sunlight.

So what is the essence of your post... Are you just to stir up a movement for the redirection of the Nigerian motive.... or are you just voicing out what we already know but are too lazy to change
