ARE THE LABOUR AND UNION LEADERS INSENSITIVE?
I wonder why only Government workers went on strike over the removal of subsidy whereas the public and private sectors do not participate.
I wonder why there is closure of all Government schools where the children of the poor attend whereas the private schools attended by children of the rich open to students.
I wonder why all government hospitals and Health Centres which attend to the poor and the vulnerable were forced to close down whereas the private hospitals that were patronized by the rich do not.
I wonder why doctors that offered essential services to save live are closed down but the military and police station do not participate.
I wonder why all government offices were forced to close down whereas the petrol stations that sell at the disputed price were left to operate freely.
It is obvious from the above that the ongoing strike is too callous and highly insensitive to the plight of the poor and the most vulnerable of this country.
My Candid Advice To The Labour And Union Leaders
That in order that the Union and Labor Leaders will not be seen as being insensitive to the plight of the most vulnerable in the society, the following advice are way out.
The Union/Labour Leaders as a matter of urgency should exclude all essential services from the ongoing protest over subsidy removal.
To direct the unconditional opening of all public schools, hospital and health centers to ameliorate the suffering of the poor and the most vulnerable in the society.
To dialogue with the Federal and State Governments on the upwardly review workers salary.
To monitor the use of the subsidy removal proceeds to rehabilitate all dilapidated public infrastructures (Roads, Schools, Airports and Hospitals).

I just love Fayose. How I wish Fayose can rule us in Igboland. Fayose is greater than all the Governors in Igboland. Fayose is greater than Governor Willie Obiano. Fayose is greater than Ojukwu

Did you mean all Igbos are dimented? Abeg clarify

Today is apparently a very bad day for Nigerians. However, the immediate effect on salary earners can be mitigated by a proportionate and immediate increase in the Minimum Wage and timely development of all State infrastructure and provision of stable power nationwide.

Why is Ondo State owing his Workers despite being on Oil-Producing State? That's high sense of irresponsibility and insensitivity when the same Government spent 4.8Bilion to conduct a Local Government Election that can best be described as a charade.

So Saraki can now preach due process when his own election as Senate President did not follow due process. Yeye man

Thanks to Engr Oni for this exposition, from the activities of Fayose in the past year a diagnosis of Delusional Hallucinations can best fit his mental illness. I want to implore the Commissioner for Health in Ekiti to take this seriously as he may be liable for negligence when the chips are finally down.

It is unfortunate that the young man is involving himself in a war that will consume him and no Atiku nor Saraki can rescue him

Fayose is a Psychopath and suffering from Delusional Hallucination, no sane Nigerian should be sleepless over his antics or have u forgotten d fake ABUTH Medical Report amongst other heinous crimes. His present regime in Ekiti state will be a waste because he will achieve nothing except treated or Impeached.

Not surprised, it perfectly reflects the population distribution of the Nation Nigeria

what a disciplined and focused School! Please When is the admission form coming out? I need to obtain one.

Sai President Buhari, what a nice appointment

why is it that all bloody coups in Nigeria were led by Christians from Kaduna Nzeguo to Dimka and to Orka why all Muslims led coups were bloodless from Muritala to Babangida to Abacha? I hope someone can honestly answer this.

A PRESIDENT AND HIS EXEMPLARY LEADERSHIP

There is so much grim news coming out of Nigeria everyday, but when you look closely, you will find bits and pieces of progress here and there that bring good cheer and nourish the roots of hope:

One, for the first time in recent memory a sitting elected President of Nigeria formally and properly handed over to his Vice-President before proceeding on vacation....without controversy. I guess this lays to rest the contrived logic of old that "the Nigerian President can rule from anywhere he is in the world, including planet Mars."

Two, I read today that as at January this year, Nigeria has saved 2.2 trillion Naira through the effective implementation of the TSA alone. President Buhari assures citizens that this sum is sufficient to fund the 2016 budget deficits. Meanwhile more savings are still expected as we go forward. And we have not even added recoveries from 'our common-YAM Thieves' and Abacha funds returns.

Three, The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) disclosed that Nigeria has for the first time in the history of her electricity generation profile, generated about 5,074 megawatts (MW) of electricity. The nation is also on target to add an additional 2000 megawatts by December!

And four, we also learnt today that Directors of the Central Bank of Nigeria are the real owners of majority of the so called Bureau de-change (BDC) in Nigeria. This explains why Bureau de-change owners will buy a dollar for N190 from the CBN and then sell to ordinary Nigerians at N305 to a dollar. Well, you guessed right, this discovery further explains why President Buhari directed the CBN governor to stop selling dollars to BDC's. A potent shot in the arm of our economy.

There are those who will have us give up in the false believe that nothing good is happening in Nigeria particularly under this government. Every time I hear or read such comments, I am reminded of two basic facts of life: One, that opinions are free and cheap but facts are 'sacred' and 'respected'. And two, that life is very difficult for the blind, so we must learn to be sympathetic to them that suffer such great an affliction.

The truth is that, slowly but surely, Nigeria is making progress and taking baby steps forward into the hallowed arena of civilization and development. The pains are there. The doubts persist. The disappointments and betrayals of many decades gone by stubbornly linger. But we must dare to dream again. Hope again. Believe again, particularly when we see the convincingly bold and beautiful steps of integrity of a leader who is truly accountable to us, citizens.

The good news might be coming in bits and pieces now rather than in droves and floods. But given what this country has gone through in its recent history, we ought simply to be thankful that there is any good news at all.

The message is that, a New Nigeria is Possible. Believe!

May God take out all that is against Positive change for a Better Nigeria. May they not witness d election. Amen

All Hail Okorocha manner of Politics devoid of Ethnicity and Religious Bigotry. He has come to Lagos to enlighten his fellow Igbos on d forthcoming election.

Another display of Incompetence and lack of Diplomacy from PDPised Military taken up Benefactors. A Military that recruit based on ties to a General rather than on Merit and physical fitness.

The Clueless one and his People Deceiving Party are a disgrace to d entire Country. Nigerians shall punish them at d polls

The Clueless one and his People Deceiving Party are a disgrace to d entire Country.

My Fellow GEJ Supporters pls type amen to this prayer: May God run our lifes d way Jonathan has been running Nigeria.

Allah is God, Allah is He beside whom there is no other God, d Ever-living. He neither slumber nor sleep, to Him is every in heaven & earth, no intercession can avail except by His leave. He has d knowledge of d present and d future.

Allah is God, Allah is He beside whom there is no other God, d Ever-living.

How does that Change our Resolve and Resolution to vote out d Clueless and d Corrupt PDP Regime of Ebele Jonathan

PDP
and Jonathan are Ingrates, instead of them to revile Tinubu they're do
otherwise. where were Jonathan, Mark and FFK btw 1993-1998 when Tinubu
was fighting d Military for d restoration of Democracy they now enjoy and mesmerised

What a Disgrace!

PDP
is yet to realise that we've made up our mind to vote out d Corrupt and
Clueless Regime of Ebele Jonathan no matter what you say about Buhari,
APC or Tinubu. If Tinubu is as Corrupt as d Clueless one has portrayed why don't u try him with EFCC?

That's where STOMACH INFRASTRUCTURE & MONEY Politics has led d people of d State formerly called Fountain of Knowledge now to State now known as Home of Political Immaturity, Rascality and Thugery.

PDP and Politics of Bitterness. I
thought PDP would have learnt from d APC Gov Amosun of Ogun State whose
deputy defected and still remains a deputy without any molestation, that's political maturity that we want.
