ogododo: Global pharmaceutical giant Pfizer has shut down its commercial operations in Nigeria, rendering its commercial employees redundant, according to internal company correspondence obtained by West Africa Weekly.
Documents obtained indicate that affected employees received formal redundancy notifications, signalling a major restructuring of Pfizer’s business model in the country. The documents suggest that the company is moving forward with layoffs but has yet to finalise employee severance packages.
An email dated January 13, signed by Olubukola Oparinde, Manager People Experience, SSA Biopharma, acknowledged employee concerns during discussions about the shutdown and stated that further feedback from leadership would be provided. Employees were issued redundancy notification letters, which they were required to acknowledge, confirming that they had been informed of their job losses.
Further correspondence on January 15 instructed affected staff to sign off on the notifications, emphasising that these were not final redundancy agreements. The company also indicated that severance details were subject to additional approvals.
A follow-up email on February 12 addressed to an employee included severance computation details, suggesting that discussions around employee compensation were ongoing.
Following the shutdown, affected employees are entitled to severance packages, including redundancy benefits, final salary payments, and other entitlements based on their contracts and Nigerian labour laws. However, concerns have been raised over whether Pfizer will fulfil these obligations in full.
This development comes amid ongoing economic challenges in Nigeria, with several multinational companies either downsizing or exiting the market entirely and many losing their jobs.
Funny enough, at least 80% of these countries were destroyed through clandestine operations of the CIA and the US State Department, the rest via outright invasion by the United States armed forces
benuejosh: Jonathan's administration messed everything up in this country but thank God for the sharp intervention of the APC government.
Thank God for Buhari and now Jagaban Borgu, the President of Nigeria, Bola Tinubu. We are now seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Things are beginning to work well.
Note: Before you quote me, tell me why Nigerians voted a sitting President out!
GistMedia0: A Nigerian man has stirred conversations online after revealing how he has been supporting his wife’s education since their marriage. According to him, he married his wife while she was in her first year at university and, despite being jobless at the time, worked hard to ensure she completed her degree.
Taking to social media, the proud husband shared how he took on responsibilities after her graduation, securing a job to sustain their family. However, when his wife later expressed her desire to attend aviation school, he continued to support her dream.
"After graduating, I jejely looked for work with my first degree to feed my family. I married her in 100 level without a job, but I managed as a jobless guy to sponsor her through her degree at Uni Agric. After her degree, I never went to any other school, but my wife said she wanted to go to aviation school, so I had no option but to support her," he wrote.
He also dismissed the belief that a more educated wife would disrespect her husband, stating:
"I am one of those few ones who never believed that if your wife is more educated than you, she will not respect you. When I no get strength, she go train my kids. Kunav girls no deh mumu."
While many praised him for being a supportive husband, some critics warned that his sacrifices could "end in tears."
"I just pray she doesn’t meet someone better than you in aviation school," one person commented.
Reflecting on the importance of maintaining order in the Senate, Akpabio stated: “I was a member of the 8th Senate, and today, I’m a member of the 10th Senate. Only God knows who will be in the 11th or 12th Senate, but the institution remains. As we speak, Senator Fatai Buhari knows that the rules do not allow a senator to sit anywhere. If you wish to contribute, you must return to your seat. This is part of maintaining order under the presiding officer.”
Recall that the Senate had passed a vote of confidence in the leadership of Senate President Godswill Akpabio, reaffirming its commitment to upholding the institution of the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
This decision follows a resolution concerning the alleged breach of Senate Standing Rules by Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan last Thursday. The matter has now been referred to the Senate Committee on Ethics, Code of Conduct, and Public Petitions for review.
Akpadobo Akpabio should just bow out he has already tried his best!
We are not working our way through Hilda Baci's pussy here, this is the legislative machine of the Nigerian federal republic
Saltinny: This is too stale, you keep repeating this gibberish that happens before your parent was born, why can't Yorubas be creative with their comments, it's always one line and it's getting tiring , always your coup and riot up North against the Igbo, what an iimbecilee tribe, spit
You must be crazy
Otherwise what happened after your own parents were born, you goddamned stupid misfit!
Former President Muhammadu Buhari GCFR has left Daura for Kaduna. Buhari will be observing his 2025 Ramadan fasting in the Premier City of Northern Nigeria Insha Allah.
Counterigbolies: bigotry is when u don't allow Igbos to have what belongs to u
An Igbo is d premier of Igbo land An Hausa is the premier of Hausa land So awolowo brought bigotry because he stopped the greedy Igbos from taking what belongs to him
There are 3 things on ground and there are 3 people but Igbos want to take 2 without minding if others have n when they are stopped they call it bigotry
It's the same reason why they got into trouble up north and sparked-off the 2nd 1966 coup, and the riots and massacres....
At the end of the day they find a way to lay the blame on other people and other tribes

Could wedding bells be ringing soon? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain—love is in the air, and this couple is embracing it fully! ❤️💍
mohbadliveson: Chairman of the Governance Advisory Council (GAC) in Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prince Tajudeen Olusi on Tuesday says not all northerners are unhappy with the administration of President Bola Tinubu.
In an interview with TheScrutinyNG, Olusi, a former member of the House of Representatives in the Second Republic said while some northerners have expressed regret for voting Tinubu, there are equally many northerners who have praised him and want him to continue for another term in office.
“I disagree entirely with the notion that northerners are unhappy with President Bola Tinubu. When you say ‘northerners’, you are generalising it. It connotes that majority of the people in the north are unhappy with the president. That is not correct”.
“I want to accept that I have read in the media statements from some northerners who are expressing their disagreements and objections to certain aspects of governance. They are entitled to their opinion”.
RealGandalf: Lagos, Nigeria – Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals has announced another reduction in petrol prices, marking its second price cut this month.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the company’s Head of Media Communications, Anthony Echiejina, confirmed a ₦65 reduction, bringing the ex-depot price down to ₦825 per litre from the previous ₦890 per litre.
This follows an earlier ₦60 cut in February, bringing the total reduction to ₦125 in just 26 days.
New Pump Prices for Lagos Residents
With the new price adjustment, petrol will now be sold between ₦860 and ₦865 per litre at filling stations in Lagos starting Thursday, February 27.
Dangote Refinery described the move as a relief measure, especially with Ramadan approaching, and as part of its commitment to supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s economic recovery policies.
Consistent Price Reductions
Echiejina highlighted that this reduction aligns with Dangote's commitment to easing the cost of living for Nigerians. He recalled that in December 2024, the refinery slashed petrol prices by ₦70.50 during the festive period to provide relief to consumers.
Assurance of Fuel Supply
The refinery reassured the public of ample fuel availability, boasting:
1. 500 million litres in storage
2. A 650,000 barrels-per-day refining capacity, far exceeding Nigeria’s daily petrol demand of 385,000 barrels
Nationwide Distribution at Competitive Prices
Dangote’s petrol will be available at MRS Holdings, AP (Ardova Petroleum), and Heyden stations nationwide at competitive rates.
The company urged marketers to align with its pricing structure to ensure Nigerians fully benefit from the lower fuel costs.
Tekashi89: THE OTHER SIDE OF YAHOO THEY WON’T TELL YOU.
Many times, when people hear that normal Yahoo no dey pay again, they think na job Dem dey job them, but that’s the cold, hard truth.
Yahoo don cast. Olodo don wise. Most of the formats no dey work again—those old, heavy-duty oyibo women for dating sites don wise up. These days, extra things must be done to keep Yahoo afloat—Yahoo++, you must plus-up if truly you want to cash out.
Unlike normal Yahoo, wey na just pressing keys and one’s ability to wine mugu into submission, Yahoo++ requires supernatural assistance—and as we all know, anything supernatural always comes with a hidden price tag.
At first, they won’t tell you the full cost. They’ll just give you small introduction, and once you taste the money and e sweet, you’ll be eager to activate the Koko. And sometimes, that’s where the real problem starts.
Listen attentively to this shocking story.
There is this young man who had been dealt a heavy blow by poverty after his father’s death, leaving him, his mother, and younger siblings with nothing to start with.
He wanted to rewrite his family's story—fast! He was desperate to shock everyone with his grace. He needed wealth—instant wealth—to prove a point.
After trying different things that people had told him were the way to riches, everything seemed too slow to cash out.
Then, one day, he stumbled upon an old friend who had just returned from a long journey—dressed in the latest designer outfits, driving a flashy car, living the high life.
He didn’t waste time—he quickly asked, "Bro, how far?" There and then, his friend told him the secret and even offered to introduce him to a plug. Since this was exactly what he was looking for, he didn’t hesitate.
After the journey they embarked on, he returned home with some cash. He gave some to his mom and explained how his friend was eager to help him blow—Yahoo things sha.
And as expected, like many uncultured mothers of today who don’t care about how their children make money—all they want is cash to wear aso ebi and earn respect in their village meetings—she gave her son full support.
"After all, na normal thing wey boys dey do these days," she concluded. The young man proceeded to activate the real stuff that would make dollars flow like water.
The witch doctor, after consulting with the spirits, came out with an instruction—a must-follow command.
When the young man heard it, he was frozen to his bones. He pulled his friend aside and whispered, "Bro, I fit back out, I no fit do this kind thing oh?"
His friend’s reply was even more chilling—"Omo! At this point, there’s no going back oh"—like depot Nigerian Army 🪖.
He rushed home to tell his mother what the sacrifice was. She was shocked to her core but helpless—any attempt to back out would mean instant death for her son.
Just guess the instruction, the baba gave the boy! Really shocking Something unthinkable.
The young man had to start sleeping with his own mother regularly—like husband and wife.
Yes, you read that right. He had to “marry” his own mother, just that in their in this case No dowry would be paid. No wedding would be conducted.
It would be as though he had inherited his mother from his late father—since, the father left no wealth for him to inherit.
What a bombshell! What a nightmare! What a hellish condition! But no going back—after all, he had already tasted the introductory wealth.
Indeed, the devil is a wicked slave master. He gives riches but attaches conditions that destroy his worshipers in the long run.
As if that wasn’t terrible enough, the rules were strict: no protection was allowed, and the boy/husband must not father a child with his mother/wife—if she got pregnant, the baby must be aborted immediately, and the fetus served as a sacrifice to the gods.
The mother and son painfully complied and true true, untold wealth began flowing like a mighty river. They became richer than their wildest dreams.
Houses sprang up in different cities, all in the family’s name. Exotic cars were bought—one for the mother/wife and several for the son/husband. Money na water—lavish parties, designer clothes, first-class flights and all that their helpless souls desires.
The mother/wife joined the exclusive Yahoo Mothers Association and became the talk of the town.
As the mother or should I say wife of the youngest millionaire in the area, she became a major decision-maker in every women’s association she belonged to.
Back in the village, their fame spread like wildfire. Some people admired them and praised God for visiting the family. Others whispered in suspicion.
Long-lost uncles and relatives—who once ignored them—suddenly became concerned family members, looking for ways to reconcile and benefit from the newfound wealth.
After a while, rumors started flying among the community women. They began noticing something strange.
"This woman don dey pregnant over and over… but where are the babies?" Suspicion grew. Something wasn’t adding up, and the rumors of the suspicion was flying round.
Then, one fateful day, the mother/wife dropped a bombshell—"I’m tired of all these abortions. This time, I want to keep the baby." She told her son/husband.
The son/husband was devastated. He tried to convince her, but she refused. She went ahead and gave birth—to a child fathered by her own son.
A few days later, the young man died mysteriously. The entire community was thrown into shock and horror.
The rumors were no longer rumors—the truth was out, mother and son had been committing incest just to acquire and maintain their wealth.
Not long after, the mother/wife out of shocks and disappointment, fell gravely ill. Within a short time, she also died, along with the newborn baby/grandson.
And just as expected, the devil took back everything.
Their wealth stopped flowing overnight. Debts and suffering gripped the family harder than before. Their luxurious properties were sold off—just to buy food.
A few years later, the financial status of the remnant of the family, home and abroad, was worse than before they ever had money.
Indeed, ritual wealth comes at a price, a price so terrifying that most people wouldn’t dare pay if they knew the full truth.
If you’re thinking about getting rich faster than normal, learn from this story and be warned!
ElSudani: Yes, that is why Olusola Azikiwe heard about the coup and didn't warn his Prime Minister that a bloody coup was coming. He conveniently ran away and let his friends die. What betrayal is more than this? These Yoruba people sef. Should we talk about the relationship between the Sardauna and Nzeogwu? Did you say betrayal?
They were homosexual partners...Nzeogwu was taking the Sardauna's pipe

jocelynor: She films every man she sleeps with when they doze off' - Nigerian activist shares shocking revelation made by 15-year-old
Exactly 11:15pm tonight 24th February, a 15 years old girl made a shocking revelation to me that she videos every man she sleeps with at the middle of the night when they were fast asleep.
I went further to ask her why she did that and she told me she watched it on a movie. Probing what she would do with those videos, she said she would use it to blow bigger on social media.
I thought she lied and decided to ask her to send 5 of those videos to me on WhatsApp which she accepted. She said "comrade, I have over 60 videos but I will send you 17 of them. The only one I deleted was the first guy who bought me the phone.
She sent the videos to me on a "once view". Sharp boy like me, I got them saved one way or the other but my greatest surprise was seeing a popular church deacon whom I know very well.
I will have a conversation with her tomorrow.

Notice how he was never perturbed by the fact of grown, supposedly responsible men having sex with minors?....
Vinnie2000: Both Men Sacked then Civilian president Shehu Shagari from Office in late 1983 and both became Heads of State. Both are supposedly Best friends.
But IBB snubbed Buhari and invited Distant Pple Like Goodluck Jonathan and Bola Tinibu to His Book Launch.
So Why he did SNUB Buhari?
And Pls Where is MannaVulturegriller?
Why has IBB carried such an Injustice against your Darling Daddy?
If na you shey you for invite Buhari?
The biggest mistake IBB made in his career was his failure to execute that bastard hypocrite in 1985, instead of sending the barely literate pretentious fool to Benin prison for three years of holiday at Nigerian tax-payers' expense
