Nice. Apple shouldn't just sit on the fence on this ENDSARS matter. If only they know the number of Nigerians who have lost their lives because they just own Iphones, they would have released a statement by now.

You see why restructuring is good? Let every region do on to do what is best for them. Here in the south we say #ENDSARS If it is good for the Northern Zones, then they should take all of them there!

These labour leaders are useless. They have eaten so much that they have lost their senses. What happens after the 3 months? Will the take home pay of workers be enough to pay for the increase in fuel and electricity? Will the N30,000 minimum wage be enough for a man with family to feed his family, pay the electricity bills and pay for the new fuel tariff? This country is sinking deeper and deeper everyday!

Nice one

What is a better palliative than reducing the cost of fuel? Everybody suffers from petrol prices increase. If you want to give palliatives, reduce the cost of fuel! Simple

Only shows that the workers are now bigger than the Oga. Oga gave a directive, the workers said NO we will do what we like

And yet the minimum wage is N30,000. Why will they not buy cars like groundnuts and the citizens they govern beg for food. When Nigerians are ready, nobody will tell us to revolt! It will just happen one day when nobody expects

Any action from the NLC that wouldn't be felt positively by the people is rubbish! They shouldn't go there to take brown bags while the whole Nigerians suffer o. They have to stand up for Nigerians!

tot:
What did he do with the huge pay? No investments? I think the accountability lies with him here, not necessarily the company. I also find it strange such a company does not have a pension scheme.

According to him, he built a "big house" which was big then, but not long after the company sold off it's assets here in Nigeria and relocated back to Italy.

I had the same option some time ago and I chose the state job. One of my old uncle had the same option while he was young. Took the construction company from Italy with huge pay, left the civil service, today he has no pension and he is almost struggling and would be totally broke if not for the children!

We don't need him. He should stay back please

Drama government.

Sad 60 years. Nothing to celebrate in this country. We only have hunger, sickness, greed, corruption and insecurity. A man who is sick will first cure himself before celebrating anything. So Nigeria cure yourself first.

This was the exact same thing they said in 2016. 12 May 2016 punch newspaper has the former minister saying exactly the same thing as the present minister. Nigerians are just been taken for a fool. Most people don't t even have the energy to shout because hunger want to kill them

Sell the country, let's share the money. They failed to remit the exact same size of money used in subsidising fuel and now they want people to suffer because nigeria is " broke" yet we have trillions of funds unremitted

Summary means if you have my corruption files, I equally have your own corruption files. Coming to think these are suppose to be the leading anti corruption fighters in the country is not only laughable, but unfortunate and sad.

Which wall? The ones Nigerians have broken??

When those in government are spending stupendously like this and they have the nerves to increase electricity fee and fuel prices so that the " ordinary man" can suffer the more. It goes a long way to show that Nigeria is only made for some selected few. Nigerians are not ready to make progress because we are a docile people. Our leaders knows this and they will continue pushing us to the wall until we break the wall because we are not reactive.

Am not against d emergence of a visionary leader as u are hoping for. I also agree with u that religious & ethnic myopism is a grave issue in d country. But all in all, u will see that religion & ethnicity and d greed of d "big political parties" are just a distraction & d symptoms of a much larger & complex problem. D problem is that d average Nigerian is politically ignorant (but thinks that he knows), docile& selfish. Let me give u an instance.

Edo state governorship elections are upon us. We can see people trooping to campaign grounds and cramping themselves like sardines. If these same people are called out for protest against d govt, would they come out? Can Nigerians demand for better governance? Can Nigerians demand for their rights? How then will they be able to identify a visionary leader?

I totally agree with you. The problems of Nigeria are multifaceted. I heard someone say, if you push Nigerians to the wall, instead of them to react, they will break the wall for you to continue pushing them. Not until that national consciousness is there for most Nigerians to know that we hired these people and can fire them, the status quo will never change.

lexy2014:
So were is d visionary leader going to come& when is he going to emerge?

We have lots of visionary leaders in every zone of the country, but the major political parties wouldn't give them the platform because they despise those who wants to make the country better. The people of Nigeria are themselves not ready to let go of enthicity and religious sentiments to back someone who is visionary irrespective of his/her religion and enthicity. We cannot move this country forward without letting go of things.

Why are you so confused- asking government to build refineries while simultaneously asking that the existing ones be privatised? You better clear up your head and say what you want clearly- government ownership or privately owned?

Jonathan licenced Dangote to build the refinery in Lagos.
Obasanjo sold the refineries, but Barawo Bubu's fellow incompetent man from Katsina reversed the sales.

What i meant is a two prong approach. Either they build more and manage the ones the country have to optimum capacity or sell off the ones we currently have

lexy2014:
U mean Nigerians need a visionary leader?

yes, exactly

If the government had built refineries or better still sold the ones we had to other people who would make them work, the country wouldn't be spending hard earned FX on importing fuel. We might have been buying fuel for N50 now who knows? It's really sad to know that all the promises made were cancelled (APC) What Nigerians need right now is a visionary. If not the problem is far from over.

I usually don't watch or vote in this BBN show, but because of this girl attitude towards Lacon, I will vote for him all the time to make sure he wins.

The government are not protecting it's citizens from anything. From the security situation of herdsmen and Boko haram. And certainly not from the excessive exploitation of Nigerians from Multichoice(DSTV)

This is indeed a sad development. We should discontinue to drive this regional wedge. If not, Nigeria may soon cease to exist

Mraphel:
All I know is Buhari has tried his best at that age

GEJ stealing is not corruption still fresh in d memory

His best is not good enough in this 21st century

sbaks:
Mind you, I don't support corruption but I hate hypocrisy. Don't fight tinubu alone, FIGHT ALL. Don't be one-sided

The fight must start from somewhere now abi? I think this is going to make everyone in the corridors of power seat up. That is if truly they have those numbers of signatures

The more you look the less you see government

Sad situations of incompetence since this administration came in. In a civilised clime, this alone should make the president fire a lot of people. So will they tell me that they didn't know when they had shortage of passports?

Nice. This guy is truly an African giant musically. His voice and unique style really sets him apart
