A former staff's comment suggesting likely reason why the staff opted to join union and why the company doesn't want them to.

When you are young and have not been burnt you will think you can do it all by yourself. More so if you did not grow up with parents in a unionised job.

If as a child you see your dad laid off with one month salary after 10 years you will know what good you can get from a union.
True!

[color=royalblue]Let those who were against him joining Union, absorb them.

If Union wasn't good, why will 90% of his local staff join, even against their employer's wish?

Nigerians don't know what they want.

Let the online Mandelas employ them. All of us go dey alright in the end.[/color]
The comments I've been seeing online as regards this Dangote Vs Union issue has made me realize one thing; most Nigerians are tyrants and would also act worse than Dangote going by how they are trying to make sense out of his decisions on this matter. Most of them think Dangote being the principal promoter of Dangote Refinery should be allowed to block staff from joining trade unions (even if that is against Nigerian labor laws).

What they don't know is that other African countries Dangote has bueiness ventures like Ethiopia, Senegal,Cameroon, Ethiopia, Zambia, Tanzania, etc; he acts in accordance with the laws of those host countries. Whatever law that is in opration in those countries to protect the right of staff, he dares not contravene them if he wants to continue to enjoy smooth business operations.

Just look at his senior management in Nigeria(attached letterhead), na Indians he pack full am to deal with his fellow Nigerians. In some African countries they will dictate the number of top management that must be their own citizen except they don't have any local talent to fill the role.

Dangote has powerful friends in Nigeria so he will most likely win this battle sha. He will most likely ask the sacked staff to re-apply and when they do; he will give them a conditional offer. The offer for employment will be subject to a condition that they won't join any union throughout the course of their employment. I think this may be the idea behind the sack of the total workforce. It is a wicked HR strategy

Dangote has "allegedly" sacked all Nigerian employees of his refinery who joined PENGASSAN

https://www.nairaland.com/8527123/dangote-refinery-sacks-nigerian-employees

Word on the street is that Dangote as a group doesn't even pay well like that compared to other players in the various sectors/industry they operate; dem just get big name. Most likely the reason they are trying to frustrate efforts of staff of the oil and gas arm of the group from joining a powerful union like PENGASSAN.

This film go long sha.

Some people think anything and everything is cruise. If Rudeboy forgive, some brand in the future can just search his name and see where a rappe allegation was made against him and just drop him

The younger generations mostly think actions are without consequences and they are free to smear anyone without consequence just to trend and get online traffic
The false accuser has already deactivated her account but seems Rudeboy has promised to use all resources at his disposal to fish her out, make her either evidence of her accusation or enter Sanko to eat watery beans.

I sincerely hope he will not turn deaf ear to anybody begging him to let go.

Earlier today I read about a Nollywood Yoruba actress Eniola Ajao revealing how she had a blogger locked up for 2 weeks for defaming and cyberbullying her. The lady is a protege of Odunlade Adekola and was active during the burial ceremony of Odunlade Adekola's father over a month ago.

Based on a baseless rumor, the blogger alleged that the actress (Eniola) was in an illicit affair with her boss (Odunlade), hence her activeness at his father's burial. He was just sat down in his house and was fooolishly analyzing videos showing the lady at the said burial. He claimed she was moving like his mistress despite having no evidence to prove it. The lady claimed those posts made by the blogger affected her mental health portraying her as what she's not, so she petitioned the police to have him tried under the new cybercrime law.

The blogger slept 2 straight weeks in custody and his 3 wives and aged mother running around begging the actress for forgiveness. They pleaded with her to drop the case before he was released eventually. Imagine a full-grown man with 3 wives concerning himself about another person's life and fooling himself online in the name of blogging.

Chelsea should put rule in place to force players to play and fine players that get non-heavy contact or heavy collision injury.
Make the players go improve their fitness and personal training habits and even their eating habits.

Just look at how confident she was making the false accusation .

[color=royalblue]The kind of flood I am seeing on the Mainland, I can only imagine what the Island looks like.

And also in other states of the SE where erosion wan finish.

The sad part is that it occurs every year. And we do nothing about it every year.[/color]
About few months ago Lagos state government issued a statement warning about flooding to come this year . They advised people living in flood prone areas and communities around the Lagos lagoon and Ogun river ( some parts of Ikorodu , Berger, Mile 12 , etc ) to relocate .

I was wondering if the advisory made sense because I don’t seem to understand where they expect those people to move to . The tone of the advisory sounded like there’s nothing the government can do about the floods ; so they expect the people to resort to self help .

Anytime I visit Nigeria, I visit Island between 10am and by 3pm I try to leave so I dont get caught in traffic. Also the part about your property getting flooded every year has to bother anyone who spent his money on the property

I was going to visit someone on the Island and saw a river in front. I told the driver to turn around, He said "Oga shey na this small water you dey fear?" When real water come
Nigerians typically used to adapting to all kinds of bad situations. He dey try tell u say they are used to driving in that kind of water and spending serious money to repairs.

Earlier today I saw different videos from the Lekki flood including video one TikTok content creator’s Benz stuck in the flood . His dashboard was showing faulty steering rack or something like that . Only God knows how much he will spend to fix it eventually .

This is the common sense approach IMO
You see that Ikeja GRA ehn, a lot of people are sleeping on it.

There was a day I drove around some parts of it; I was really sold on how sirenic, orderly and peaceful the place was. One could even see foreigners who were most likely expatriates residing there just casually enjoying the cool calm of the GRA away from the rest of the madness of central Lagos.

Is there any rich suburb in any other state that gets flooded regularly the way Lekki does?
I doubt it; most rich neighborhoods are usually situated in levelled grounds well above sea level, unlike Lekki and most parts of Lagos Island.

I was telling a friend recently that I would rather buy a luxury property within GRA Ikeja than Lekki and its environs if I have the means due to the flooding issues

[color=royalblue]The true meaning of "Money na water"[/color]
As in….. real money na water .



The worrisome reality about the whole thing is that it happens almost every year like that . Not like as it is happening this year now , it won’t still happen next year or anything can/will be done to avert it next year .

I intended to go to Lekki Phase I yesterday , na God say make I shelve the plan not knowing it was going to flood like that .

I doubt if NNPC or any importer can match that.

Although, I know that at some point, he would have to introduce that cost gradually. It's to significant to waive.[/color]
It's a marketing strategy to knock out fellow competitors(NNPC & Independent marketers) and gain a tacit monopoly as time goes by. He definitely is not "Mr. Nice guy".

Whether it will be in the best interest of Nigerians in the long run, only time will tell.

[color=royalblue]I think that they must have bought all those buildings for commercial use.

LASG wants to relocate the market entirely, and use the place for something else.

Somewhere that can attract tourists or a recreational park would not be bad. Nothing really attracts people to Ikeja sef. [/color]
I know Lagos state wants to relocate the market(which I support by the way), what I don't know is what will be the fate of the owners of those properties.

Will Lagos state give the current owners of those properties financial compensation while the government takes possession of the properties?

OR

Will the state government take over the ikeja properties and allocate properties of equal worth to the property owners at the proposed new location of the market?

Personally I don't want the government to use the place for any recreational facility. They should build residential properties in the current location(Most likely a gated estate ) and let the area breath. That should take care of the traffic headache in that area.

[color=royalblue]Lol. This matter supposed don happen nau.

It's a battle that cannot be won sha. Ikeja Local Government sef don try fight am, but not for long.

That market really was a blessing to Ikeja LGA, but then, that's the capital of the city, and sadly, Ikeja sef no fit contain that market.

Hopefully, those with properties are compensated. If they move to anywhere, Lagos will definitely patronize them. [/color]
That place was never designed to be a market.

Most likely the owners of the buildings will convert them back to residential which they were before they partitioned them into shops and started renting it out to computer sellers first before phone sellers in the wake of GSM revolution.

He's right. It's not about the shot on goal, it's what Dona is doing when there are crosses in the box. He's punching everything away and commanding the area so well. Don't forget that Arsenal's greatest advantage is scoring from corners/crosses.
