It is this same labour people who are civil servants that frolic with corrupt politicians to keep Nigeria on its kneels. This agitation as much as it is the expression of the desire for a better living among Nigerian, Labour should be realistic with what it is asking as minimum wage and the attendant impact on inflation affecting general costs of living - rent, transportation, etc.

Did anyone ever noticed that the cement dealers and wholesalers never came out to complain that BUA Cement was never sold for 3,500? These people are the problem who seized this opportunity to stock-up and create artificial scarcity.

I hope one day you will remember that you left the country on the 'bad country' passport. Why do people forget too soon? Do you know this can be your undoing when political or otherwise opportunities comes your way later on?

This is a reflection of the choice these guys have made and has nothing to do with Nigeria. These are able bodies young men who do not want to work but looking for easy way to make money without sweating. Are there not hawkers on our roads in this economy going home with thousands of naira of gain at the end of each day. This is LAZINESS ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIAN YOUTH INCORPORATED. Wake up!

At least the current situation of the economy of Nigeria is forcing the rich to think twice before flaunting wealth and affluence.

We complained so much about this economy killing businesses? How many of the executives of these multinationals have cut down their luxury lifestyles to protect shareholders' funds? How many of these executives have made sacrifices to keep the company afloat and save shareholders from this type of tears? Some of these shareholders too will not question the lifestyles of these executives ones they have been treated well. Until we begin to question, query and challenge these companies' executives about their luxury living at the expense of shareholders' protection, we have not started.

Two persons have been confirmed dead in a boat mishap at Powerline, Ikoyi-Link Bridge in the Ikoyi area of Lagos State.

Confirming the incident, the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA), in a statement issued by its Permanent Secretary, Dr Olufemi Oke-Osanyintolu, on Thursday, February 22, 2024, said 17 passengers were involved in the boat mishap.


Oke-Osanyintolu disclosed that the boat was conveying the passengers from Sandfil to the Ikorodu area of Lagos and capsized at Powerline.


He noted that an investigation gathered from the Lagos State Waterways Authority (LASWA) officials revealed that the driver of the boat rammed into a high-tension pole flooded by water which led to the incident.

What a man sows, he reaps! The same thing that was done to Lamidi Apapa and was never condemned by the leadership of labour party.

Where were this people when Buhari administration was malhandling the Nigerian economy? Is this a cry as a result of pressure from those around these voices that are now finding it difficult to manipulate the system for their evil gain and wealth?

Wigwe's death for concern! Why in a hurry to appoint a new CEO? Has the investigation into the cause of the crash been concluded? Why at a time that his wife and son are involved in this fatal crash? Have we lost our humanity because of corporate rules? O God, let us not die for our enemies to rejoice.

I don't understand these vibes. If the son, daughter or nephew is qualified, shouldn't they be appointed? Let the NJC or whatever body handle as deem appropriate.

Paraman:
This is a horrible precedence this man is setting. I wander why the NBA is not saying anything

Now what is the value of this 'information' or 'news'?

Road without drainages?

So no punishment for the officer who disgraced the police command of the State? Why won't others be emboldened to repeat the same behaviour!

340 x 15,000= Could this be reason?

Even a mad man knows when his 'manager' is around!!!

Undoubtedly it will be resisted by those who are making money from the official trips that most times are not needful. Well-done Cardoso! First to comment.

1. Blame the FRSC who have turned themselves into a revenue generating agency instead of focusing on safe driving awareness.
2. Apart from select places in Lagos for example, how m any road have functional street light? Ijede road street lights only came on at the evening of its commissioning because somebody in government will not do his or work.
3. Being accustomed to driving with full beam started long ago because even when you try to correct drivers, they get angry and curse you out.

'Freely' with bodyguard? Why the sensation about his walking? Is this suppose to be a news item or what!

What??!!!!!!!!!!!! 6.8mn

While this is a great pursuit, NLC should also be mindful of the cascade effect - landlords will jerk-up rent, food prices will go up more, school fees and co. This should be done with wisdom o!

They are just afraid of his clout among the citizens

What of Mile 12 market?

What penalties are available for these overloaded trucks, driven by reckless drivers for destroying public infrastructure put in place through public tax? The owner of the truck, driver and the company involved should be fined!

New sign-on are longer accepted

Dangote did his best to kill BUA Cement but has failed in every way. If BUA Cement is non-existent or if he has succeeded in shutting the factories does, the price of cement now will better be imagined.

May you and your family members never be victims of what can result from this strike. As much as I understand their plight, there should be other ways to achieve this.

iampeterben:
After listening to them today on BBC Worldwide Radio, UK, I fully support this their strike. The government has really turned deaf ears to their demands for so long.

Aluta Continua! Victoria Ascerta!!

Go for eye test! It may sound funny but I have been there! See your ophthalmologist!
