Laja Laba:

Abeg help me ask am o....coz am confused also.

Naija I hail una o. I think we shud do a litlle digging on this since we now have two contradictory statements.

I would have preferred it if Oshiomole had come out plainly to admit it IF it was TRUE.

[quote author=CROWÉ]lol. The FBI is basically federal police, last I checked Nigeria is not American soil, FBI cannot operate here.[/quote]But their technology can function here.

Dpeacemaker101: Why is oshiomhole scared of Dialogue maybe he is doing something really wrong, and I guess he has hidden agenda.

I don't think so. He's probably trying to be over-analytical since the trust most ppl have in the government is waning.

[quote author=isale_gan2]Looks like a meeting of Nairalanders and the moderators.[/quote]Hehehehe .........I concur and it seems ur the lady in red

Heliesha: maybe buh one fin i know his anyfin America comes with great opposition am sure we dont want to be a none ally of the U.S,we ave arguably the best or one of the best foot soldiers in the world we dont need them to tell us how to maintain peace or kill the Boko-ram members our soldiers ave proved it with U.N abroad so hence dont see d need of us plying trade with people seekin after their own benefits.lets finish what we've started with pride and respect not owing anyone a damn favour

I like the bolded. I like the way you broke it down but do we keep our pride @ the expense of the next set of victims even if we could have made use of intelligence reports?

Anyway, I don't think the idea of involving the CIA n FBI is to bring them here physically but to bring some of their technology here.

MODS pls check these topics to confirm if they need to be shifted to different sections other than their current. Thanks.

akpos4uall: Yes truly PHCN has been a failure. Something you should know is that, it is not every PHCN worker that is responsible for electric power. Among them are some other professionals such as doctors, nurses, primary/secondary school teachers, accountants, lawyers, etc.

Thank you for bin objective. Not all working in a bank have physical access to the money ........

akpos4uall: That may true following the info you provided: about 55 per cent of the workforce have not been paid.

OhK........I now get ur point. Nawa o......

3kay945: What happen to this site some hours ago?
Well, good to be back.
@ op
I hope the federal government are seeing this. I thought they said all benefits has been settled.
Anyway, some insanely, highly animalistic maniac stole our transformer cable 3weeks ago exposing my neighborhøod to constant darkness. I wont notice the strike if they start.

@bolded. Eeya sorry o. Na Naija we dey. Plenty of tinz are just not right. We need help.

[quote author=Donalð Genes]Someone tell me this is a joke of the century[/quote]This is not a joke broda.......I also found it unbelievable sincerely.

WOW.........So Nairaland was down for hours today.

iamteaser: I've never been banned before and I really wanna know how it feels like. Any mod out there can you pls ban me for a couple of days. Thank you.

All you need do is to insult just one MOD - say Sexkillz @ the politics section and you can even get a better ban - say till like 2032

unmask: don't be surprised when you hear about the overnight fire at a section of ncaa building......bode george served his time for his crime in office...is it wrong if our inefficient justice system catches another criminal in office and we all support That the criminal gets jail time?

LOL @bolded

naptu2: Rule 8: Don't post false information on Nairaland.

Rule 14: Please search the forum before creating a new thread on Nairaland.


Please compare these two threads.

The bolded link shud not just be locked but thrashed too. I hate deliberate attempts to ridicule or blackmail. The link referred to on the thread is also a fake link.
I suggest the user gets a ban.

Iceman296: We have all these Strikes Because Of our Failed Justice System. The Government of the day is Even Above the Judiciary and Can Act Like they Please.

When all these Bodies Strike, A Lot of people are Affected which in My Opinion is Not Suppose to be so.

So if the bolded is true, I don't see any other way that aggrieved Nigerians can get the desired justice unless other people are made to suffer a bit also so that the number of aggrieved increases and pressure on the Government increases.

No sane (right-thinking) Nigerian wants to take the Government to court any longer because WE can all guess what might happen.

Heliesha: not sure i want the U.S here coming would probably turn nigeria to a war zone.they will come to publicity along with the islamist opposition who will probably come to assist the boko haram guyz

Ur analysis is quite funny.......

Justeenaleo: Na now all of dem remember to strike, all is well..."..soon now students will go on strike ..I wonder wat wil b the reason

Soon na all Nigerians go need go strike if the leaders don't stop this games of deception.

eGuerrilla: From the avalanche of information we have been subjected to in the last couple of weeks, I would make bold to state that the vehicle purchase is just a tip of the iceberg. Her most dogged defenders know this, you know this, and I also know this.

I agree with the bolded

Orlando Owoh: I look for reasons why I should term the visit of the President and other politicians to Israel, religious but find none. It is purely political, and shrouded in addressing the crisis surrounding the aviation sector. They only took advantage of the ongoing pilgrimage to:
1. Shift the venue of the meeting to save Stella Oduah because holding the meeting in Nigeria will be greeted with protests when Sahara Reports, in their investigative journalism, reveals it.
2. To deceive the gullible through the President kneeling on the grave of Jesus Christ that resurrected many years, while being prayed for by Ayo Oritsejafor.

Hmmmm.......it is well but Nigeria can't continue like this.

In an attempt to stop the insecurity that is being posed to Nigeria by the Boko Haram Sect, the Inspector General of Police, Mr. Mohammed Abubakar, has sought for collaboration with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), New York Police Department, United Nations and other United States security agencies.

The Inspector General of Police who has been on a working visit to the United States since last week told Nigeria's officials at the embassy in Washington, DC at a briefing that his meetings with various security agencies in America were aimed at achieving the required support from the international security agencies and other multilateral bodies, particularly in the area of intelligence gathering, intelligence sharing, exchange programmes, combating terrorism, peace-keeping operations and capacity building,
especially on training, manpower and infrastructural development for the Nigeria Police Force.

He said that he believed that insecurity would become a forgotten phase in Nigeria with the new collaboration of the the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), New York Police Department, United Nations and other United States security agencies.

Saying that the security challenges that Nigeria is facing today is applicable to all countries in the world, Abubakar noted that the federal government was doing greatly to ensure that the country becomes very safe for both its citizens and foreigners.

He however urged Nigerian living in the United States to ensure that they come home to join force with the Nigerian government in the government's efforts to make the country a crime-free nation. IG Abubakar pressed further that his working visit and meetings with United States security chiefs had given him a vast
knowledge on how to make Nigeria free in the hands of Boko Haram's terrorists.

He also made it known that all the security
agencies that he met both in New York and
Washington, DC had pledged their supports and collaboration to ensure that Boko Haram and other terrorist group do not have a place to stay in Nigeria.

His words: "My meetings went very well, I sought better ways of collaboration between the US security and the Nigerian security, even the Nigerian government as a whole.
We had meetings that have to do with sharing of intelligence information and support for fighting crimes and criminality in the world particularly terrorism.

On the issue of state police, the Inspector-General said that he was against the idea from the beginning because he was aware that some state governors would surely use the agency, if created, to intimidate their opponents. He added that this would cause more security problems for the country.

On the allegation that some senior police officers want to sell the new police uniforms to junior officers, the police chief said: "You cannot sell any police uniform because there are lots of things surrounding it which i will not even have to disclose because it has security implication on it. So it is not possible for any officer to sell the
new uniform, and if you see anyone selling it, then you have to know that he is selling the fake ones".

On the report that policemen have been
preventing members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) from embarking on protests in some states in Nigeria, IG Abubakar said that there was no way any police could stop people from embarking on any peaceful protest.

emmysenior: Does this decision makers know about anything called "classification of information"?

Somethings are not meant for the general public na. Haba!

I don't think any sensitive info on their strategies was shared so 'AllizWell'.

Iceman296: ..Aren't these People Not Tired of Striking? Every Little Grievances Strike. C'mon There are Better ways Of Stating Your Probs Instead of Shutting the Country Down.

Give examples pls.

taharqa: Plz, learn to SHUT that yr mouth UP wheneva you do not know what you are talking about...

You are free to enlighten us since you know what you are talking about.

nerodenero: If Nigeria was a person,he would have died long time ago.If he is still living,then he must have been an extra-ordinary being.

You are very correct my broda and I think if Nigeria was human then he may soon die if not given the required drugs soon.

akintun: An official of PHCN just told me dat some of his bosses have collected about 30million naira, while majority of d workers have received nothing.

How true is this info? And why ?

begwong: No wonder,Nigerian pilgrims refused to say "AMEN " to Papa Oritsejafors prayer when he included Princess Stealing Oduah's name in his prayer!

If I were her, I wouldn't have gone for the pilgrimage because that is just hypocrisy at its highest. Its called HOLY PILGRIMAGE and she could have strived to cleanse herself first.

And if I was amongst the delegates I wouldn't have said Amen either.

Ibanga p: All d news nd issues regarding dis matter is becoming boring to me... In a sane society, Mrs Oduah would have been out of office now nd d country would hav moved on. But i tink President Jonathan is dragging his feet to do d right thing jus to get d attention of the people off his other incompetent issues.

@bolded Exactly my point, let's allow justice to prevail for once and start digging out what all this corrupt leaders are sweeping under the carpet.

@ this point I wish I were a lawyer.

Obi Okpor: Story!We are used to strike nw,e no de fear us again.

I think that shouldn't be the point but the fact that our (this) government seems fond of not honouring agreements just like it did with ASUU and that makes it a pity. You could be any of them you know.

And BTW the same government has money to assist other countries and to sponsor itself on pilgrimage but no money to pay staff? That is unfair.

MODS pls let's say NO to Another Fresh Looming PHCN Strike

FP PLS

http://www2.nairaland.com/1495592/breaking-news-phcn-workers-threaten

Over 2,000 workers of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) on Monday 28th October, embarked on protest over the delay in payment of severance benefits to about 55 per cent of the workforce.

The workers, under the aegis of the National
Union of Electrical Employees (NUEE), staged the protest at the Eko and Ikeja Electricity Distribution Companies and threatened to
commence indefinite strike on November 1.

“The reports reaching the union is that majority of banks cannot give financial backing to the schedule sent to them by the Federal Government.

“This means that government does not have money’’, Mr Adeleke Ibrahim, the Chairman of Lagos Chapter of NUEE, who led the protest, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).

The union official said that if the workers’
entitlements were not paid by the end of October, the entire workforce of PHCN in all the 36 states would embark on indefinite strike.
Ibrahim said that the union was not against
privatisation of the company, “but government should pay all workers’ entitlements before the new owners will commence operation’’.

He appealed to government to ensure that all the agreements it signed with the workers were met to avert the strike. Ibrahim said that some of the issues in contention included non-payment of
retirement savings to pension fund administrators and non-remittance of dues of two per cent deducted from workers’ salaries to the unions.

Others are non-payment of benefits of retirees who disengaged in 2011 and non- regularisation of service of some casual workers.

NAN reports that the workers, who carried
placards with different inscriptions, locked the gates to the two offices and prevented people from entering the premises. (NAN)

That is the problem we have with most Nigerians in power - misuse of it. Why sit on his pay in the first case when what he is earning is not even up to a tenth of what our leaders spend on their 'whatever' pilgrimages. Nigeria is just backwards in almost everything.
