Politics / Re: Nationwide Strike Begins Monday Midnight - NLC, TUC by emmyN(m): 12:41am On Nov 14, 2023
PeachtreeReside:
You want to ground Nigeria because one person was assaulted...

He was assaulted in IMO State but went to Abuja to ground economic activities to a halt.


He now wants to go further by grounding the whole country after Abuja episode??

Not enough reason and not at this time.


This is not the time to down tools as a form of protest.


You don't get it, an assault on the NLC President is an assault on all Nigerian workers because he is the face of the union.

Please let the strike begin jare
Tired of this government
Seems they don't know what they are doing
I voted Tinubu and I'm disappointed in him
6 months gone already, no concrete plan on how to move Nigeria forward
The paliatives meant for the poor were shared by APC memebers
It's true that a corrupt man can never fight corruption.
As at today, I can't locate any Petrol engine to CNG conversion station in Lagos. They keep promising and promising.
Petrol is N595 as at today, Dollar is N1,100.
If this government couldn't bring down the cost of food items by December, a massive protest will errupt in January which might likely lead to a change of government.
I fear for the future of this Nation.

On what premise did you vote him dude? Buhari was bad enough; Tinubu's numerous public gaffes preceding the election wasn't enough cue, but you took your thumb and signed this country away to another eight years of hopelessness! You guys are so annoying! angry

Look.... these things no be by mouth abeg!!! undecided

There is no evidence they were not created Equals, none in Scripture. Eve was cloned from the same root as Adam Himself meaning they had pretty much the same essence down to their very DNA. Even your claim that as a Helper, she was made his subordinate makes no scriptural sense given that the other Helper whom the same God gave to man occupies a superior post over man. So, please, stop the sickening attempts at pinning your closemindedness on God. It is really disgusting! undecided

Lol, enough, let's not derail the thread any further. Stop being unnecessarily angry though, it would help. smiley

Kobojunkie:
1. That is a foolish summation on your part. In the Kingdom of God, Jesus Christ introduced the Holy Spirit — the Spirit of Truth — as a Helper to those who belong to Him. Are you somehow suggesting that equally means that the Holy Spirit is meant to take a back seat in the lives of the followers of Jesus Christ? undecided

2. Which Satan again? Why can't you people stop yourselves from using every opportunity you get to proclaim your fervor for the demons that haunt you? The story speaks of a serpent, and you already jumped to calling on Satan? Jeez! undecided

According to the account, there was no sharing of blame to be had since they were both culpable— even the snake was held responsible for what happened. So, I am not sure why these desperate attempts to twist the story when it is not needed. undecided

Again, Eve was Adam's equal before Eve and Adam sinned against God and remained Adam's equal even after God placed the curse on women in marriage. The curse made it appear as though they were not. undecided

Kobojunkie, you are always angry, I don't know what your problem is. It's easy for you to engage me and when I responded you would dismiss it as a "foolish summation".

Eve was not Adam's equal. If you think so, you are likely making it up as it wasn't documented that way. God created Adam, made him Lord over the earth and had him exercise that authority by naming the beasts and all the creatures. Adam named Eve too! smiley

Kobojunkie:
That is not what happened at all. Eve did not play captain since there were no captains before God cursed women in marriage. undecided

Rather, Adam played the fool pretending he could put Eve between himself and God's Law to him. Eve also made the same mistake by placing the Snake between herself and God's Law to her. Essentially they both placed a middle-man —sin—between themselves and God's direct Law to them, and it is for this reason that God punished them both. undecided

She did play captain, because when she was created, her role was to be a suitable help, not being at the front, you get?

By fellowshipping with Satan she took a lead role and decided for the whole of humanity the choice pathway into divinity. Adam shared in the blame too as he acted a simpleton, but everything did start from Eve.

I guess you understand the point.

The art of teaching driving is no longer as it used to be
Now anyone jumps into the driving seat takes off and when night falls he uses the lights that are bright enough to see not knowing that there are ethics to the use of lights!
Even driving behind another person you should dip your lights until you over take and is driving on a freeway without traffic coming on the other side! Once another car is approaching the ethic is to again dip your lights until he passes!
Many drive with the full lights to oppress the opposite driver, others don't even know why it's there!
Unless the ethos are brought back the trend will surely continue!

dominique:
For the sake of the kids, I hope the man is innocent

Even without carrying out an thorough autopsy, the police can examine the body carefully to confirm if she truly died from ligature injuries. If you watch true crime series on tv and youtube, you'd understand how common cases like these are. I've watched countless cases that happened in US, maybe it's because they carry out thorough investigations and leave no stone unturned. There was one I watched where a woman poisoned her husband with fetanyl overdose and called the cops when she woke up the next morning and found him unresponsive. She even wrote a book about how she was coping as a widow with small kids and was interviewed by their local TV station. What she doesn't know are the police were carrying their discreet investigation because fetanyl is a highly controlled drug and they have to investigate where he got it from without a prescription for . They went through the man's internet history, not a trace of anything related to fetanyl or any drug. They went through the woman's history, what did they see? Different searches on how to buy fetanyl without being traced. Imagine if the police had concluded that it was because the wife called them to come and check on her husband, that's how she would have conveniently gotten away with murder.


And you shared this story here because?

festacman:
Joe Ajaero took special interest in Imo State because it is his state. He wanted the labour issues in his home state to be resolved being the NLC president. The timing was to utilize the election to force Gov. Uzodimma's hand. He did nothing wrong to deserve the brutalization.

The fact is politicians want NLC to be emasculated but it is up to NLC members to bury their inhouse differences and fight to retain their relevance and power as the mouthpiece of Nigerian workers and common people.

However, NLC should do well also to distance itself from Labour Party. It is blurring things at the moment.




Why should they distance themselves from their own party?

That they produce electricity for the whole country, but the don't act entitled like those in South South that produces crude oil.
There are several ways to generate electricity, This Governor can't use this as bargaining chips. If you switch off Kainji and shiroro dams, other states especially southern state will seek other means to generate electricity. Dams can be constructed too

Not at all, they lied to you. They only produce 20% or more of power supplied to Nigeria. Niger Delta generates the other 70%.
Politics / Re: Niger State Demands 13% Derivation From Oil Revenue; Threatens To Shut Kanji Dam by emmyN(m): 10:49pm On Nov 07, 2023
This one must be a clown. Only 27% of power in Nigeria is generated through hydroelectricity of which their dam is a part. The other over 70% is generated through gas sourced from the Niger Delta.
