Zionmdde:
They don't need to mandate or force anyone
The UN ILO conventions are law in over 150 countries. So it becomes illegal to deal with dangote who is known for violating human rights

You think dangote doesn't know all these, why didn't he explicitly state he sacked them because of unionism

You think every country is like Nigeria that doesn't care about human rights violations, go and read the ESG policies of foreign companies and come back

You shifted goal post. i addressed your post that said "all companies abroad will be mandated to wipe his organization off their supply chain".

wirinet:
Even if they sign it, it's would not hold in a court of law. You cannot sign an illegal agreement and expect the court to honour it. You cannot sign away your fundamental human rights of freedom of movement, thought or association.

You're right on this. Let's see how it plays out though. It's a big dilemma.

ernieboy:
and u that your region has seen presidency how is your life better?

Lolz, this fellow thinks it has anything to do with my life. This is the point you continue to miss. The Presidency is not to make your region or life better, it is for the betterment of the whole country. No wonder many people feel their unbilical cords and fulfilllment in life is tied to the president coming from their region.
The president does not need to come from your region or religion for the country to work, meditate on this.

Elusive001:
Okay. Go and remove them from:
Chevron
Shell
Oando
Seplat
Mobil
Halliburton
Baker huges
Schlumberger
Agip of old
Indorama
Etc

All these forgot to build a refinery in Nigeria. So convenient.

Zionmdde:
Obviously you couldn't have included your last sentence, you completely showed your level of exposure. Let dangote be found guilty first, and see how all companies abroad will be mandated to wipe his organization off their supply chain

Nahh, the UN has no such power, plus it's twisted. Mandating free companies and countries/governments, not to associate with Mr D (mandating non association), because he mandated non association. The irony.

Imagine legion being delivered by Jesus close to this place? It will be epic.

KEVIND:
Rochas Okorocha did more than this during Buhari, how did it end?

If only all Rochas' people thought like him, there'll probably have been strong candidate in the APC from the South East. At the end, it's just the voice of one crying in the desert. SMH

Do you know that this is the most brilliant thing for the South East to do if they plan to quickly see Presidency? What do i know? Follow who know road, secure the bag.
Who does the same thing and expects a different result? Don't get the advice from a ma man.

If you like, no answer your quarry. You go speak English tire for bus park and newspaper vendor side.
Get this, if your boss knew everything you knew, he'd be a worker just like you. Na so this life be.

Zionmdde:
Nah you are the one who need enlightening because I don't how low I can go to reply what you just wrote there
Pengassan cannot impose unionism on dangote and his workers. At the same time it contravenes human rights laws for dangote to victimize workers who willingly joined union

UN will descend on any employer found victimizing workers because they joined union. because in the universal declaration of human rights, every worker of dangote has freedom to choose to or not to join union without fear of Losing their jobs

And asking me if UN can do anything to dangote, then you need more education

It's okay then. BTW, i didn't ask you if UN can do anything to Dangote. No, they cannot.

wirinet:
That would be an unconstitutional agreement. You cannot sign away your rights of freedom of association as guaranteed by the constitution.

We both know that there are more people willing to sign this than there are not. It happens.

Zionmdde:
First dangote will lose billions
He has already sacked the poor man. So other poor men will come fighting

Then when pengassan takes the matter to UN, he won't even get the crude supply sef. Because his business become known as modern slavery
Go and read ILO conventions well

Companies cannot be forced to join a union or have their employees join one; this decision rests with the employers and workers themselves. Dangote will simply recruit people who agree/sign not to join unions. Companies do this all around the world. You cannot hold the country to ransom because of unionism and selling imported goods.
BTW, Dangote has lost billions before, it didn't show. How many Nigerians can afford to lose 10,000 naira without pain? How many can afford a hike in fuel price and the scarcities that will likely follow in a faceoff? ILO or UN cannot force people to join union, please be enlightened.

Zionmdde:
Dangote, it's time to start dancing the dance

Even though the news is not correct and it's not possible to shut dangote down as pengasson does not have that power

But they will soon play drums for dangote. You wake up and sent people home without caring how you not only damage their lives but that of all their dependents

Don't you guys think ahead? Don't you see that it's still poor people that will suffer this more? Dangote will simply increase importing crude which will likely lead to increase in price of petrol. SMH

MrSly:
Maybe Yoruba Kings. Our kings don't need govt validation.

Okay sir.

It should be criminalized with fine. Maybe the culture go reduce.

Pengassan should be immediately disbanded. Oh Abacha, where you useful be this.

Imagine private hospitals or private universities being made to join union. So that they too can be striking like Messi and Ronaldo. Who'll invest $25 billion into a business and gift control of the business to union to run it down like our government refineries?

Zidane or Ronaldinho no dey this your team? Those guys ehn

MrSly:
Our own king are not object of corruption of govt. He has the spiritual and political authority of the ancestors. INUGO?!!!!!!?

My dear, every state government in Nigeria regulates recognition, instruments of office and government interaction with its traditional heads. A king must be recognized by the state government, not just by his friends and street or association members.

Racoon:
Omoyele Sowore was made by the evil establishment. Now he is destabilizing the same evil establishment. This is the law of karma and natural justice.

Lolz, Sowore was not made by anyone. Just a useful tool for the powerful guys. He makes money doing what he does, which is investigative journalism and activism. Opposition politicians would use his platform from time to time for their own gains. Imagine someone in government working against the government, they simply share info and his reporters will break it.

Lolz, who is after Sowore? Sowore is the one always after everyone except himself.
i really like him and his activism, but as President? Mba. He only knows himself. Everyone else is wrong except him. Even in his party, he's everything. Someone who consistently can't calculate that he can't win is not fit to lead Nigeria. We need more matured minds, not SUG style nso gbu mindset.

Pinklada:
Even if is a King he has comport himself according to the rule of the land

He had supported the political terrain, not trying to cause division.

He had not insulted any Obi or govt


Unlike them that arrogantly speak loud, n make cacophony noise anywhere they go

Exactly my point. He doesn't have any kingdom.
You'll notice him gently minding his own business. He's at most a rep or leader of his tribe association. Every place has association. He clearly says he's from Ede, Osun state. He also mentioned going back home. He freely speaks and respects the language of the place where he is domiciled. He's not challenging authorities and culture there, or forcefully asking for governance and inclusion.

MrSly:
The Yoruba's hate against ndi Igbo is the more reason why igbos will always be ahead along side with progressive Yorubas like this Oba Yoruba of Enugu, et al. We welcome and respect traditional institutions of every tribe and accomodate sincerely without noise. Govt in Lagos has arrested an Igbo man because he iclaims to be eze ndi Igbo na Lagos. Shame on tribal bigots.

Kings are approved by government all over the country. See case of new Ibadan king with the governor of Oyo, Ganduje with Emir of Kano saga. You don't just arrogate title and positions to yourself, follow due process.
Is he properly coronated according to law? Is he using the right title? That your friends or street call you Ooni or Eze doesn't mean you go bragging around that you are King of Lagos or President of Nigeria.

Racoon:
Meanwhile, this is another classical case of harmonial and humanitarian angle to ethnic friendship between the Yorubas and the great people of alaigbo.

This is a Yoruba Oba reigning supremely in alaigbo( having came there in his adulthood) with no ethno-religio-regional discrimination against him but imagine what has been happening in the opposite side.

I also remember a lots of Yoruba Profs in UNN (especially music/education/GST departments) and UNEC( business admin, college of medicine - Prof Bankole Olusina etc). The owner of one of the best school in Enugu is a Yoruba man.

Lolz @ reigning supreme. Do you even know what that means? This is just a fellow with a chieftancy title from whoever. He doesn't have any kingdom.

bigcasava1:
This is why they don't want them to go

Stop this half truth. Who are the they that don't want them to go? Who are the they that wrote the constitution? What is the legal, approved way to go, and who made it so? Why not get informed on these?

Validated:
Allow Igbos to rule Nigeria for just 4 years and see how "Japan" and "China" will emerge out of Nigeria. I am not joking, give PO the opportunity and taste good life for once.

What do you mean by allow in a democracy? Did they ALLOW Buhari or GEJ or even current president Tinubu to be president, or they won elections against many odds?

Rest on soldier sir. What a vessel!

Bloomsvilledgit:
I'm excited already. We are going home

@ Bloomsvilledgit. Don't be too hard on yourself to hurt yourself, okay? Be humble, take to correction, forgive yourself and move on. Humility includes ability to say sorry and accept that you made a mistake. You make better profit by being accountable for your mistakes.
Trust God and His word, not human being(above humans). God didn't fail you, He didn't promise to come on September 23 or 24, but suddenly, like a thief in the night. Kindly don't allow yourself to be deceived by man or dream again. God's word supersedes everything.

Wike is an hero of democracy? i wonder how or the criteria used here. Maybe dealing with pdp and lp in the presidential election counts?

Kukutente23:
But you are defending Wike and APC despite their glaring failure and corruption

i am not defending them(Wike or APC). i however mostly would defend the president because he's the best option. i will of course defend him against people like Atiku, PDP and the other bitter ones. i can't afford to go backwards, watching visionless people tear down the country because they are outsmarted. Allegations is NOT glaring corruption or failure. Nigeria suffering inflation at the initial stage after removal of subsidies that were suffocating the economy was well expected and projected, not failure. We've had great wins and recovery. You lots expected 10000naira to a dollar.

Hmmm, so sad. It's 25th already in some parts of the world.
