Politics › Re: Minorities In Nigeria Were Greatest Victims Of Biafra- US Based Professor by JuanDeDios: 7:02pm On Jun 06 |
I Biafrannuke: I scanned the interview if i could see a mention of specific incidence of attack or massacre of minorities by Biafran forces with date and didnt see one. It is therefore safe to conclude the interview is a re-echo of the age long government sponsored conspiracy theory. The loafer that calls himself a professor even had to blame Biafra for the pogrom against the minorities in the north.
Human being is a rational being that can only be intellectually turned on by evidence such as the bombing of hospital by federal forces in itu present Akwa ibom, massacre in Asaba by federal forces etc
Nigerians are not normal people. Give it five years, IPOB will be accused of being behind Odi massacre and some Biafran haters will actually give it a serious thought. I read Sunset in Biafra, by Elechi Amadi. Mr Amadi does mention specific events. I'm surprised you expected a single interview to cover everything though. |

brain54: At least Hitler and abacha from your list had some level of patriotism and nation hood development...
Do you know Hitler was doing what he did to make Germany great? Even abacha can never be compared with tinubu. Abacha would have never let insecurity degenerate to this level while he was consolidating his power.
These people you listed the 2 at least aren't in the same category as tinubu and his wife who don't care about anything else as long as they retain power. They don't give a rat ass about Nigerians or Nigeria.
This statement is credited to abacha "Any insurgency that lasts more than 24 hours, the government is involved"! Abacha didn't actually say that though. Just an urban myth. It's also not true. Yea, Mr Abacha likely won't have let insurgency or banditry fester like this, but some will say he was himself an insurgent. Like Mr Tinubu, he also only cared about power. That's why he let his minions get rich off the back of Nigerians queing for fuel EVERYDAY he was in power. And forget everything some hagiographers now say about the economy being good under hom. It is not true. No, Abacha was no better than Tinubu. |

One thing this current wave of insecurity has shown is that opposition know there's no pathway to the presidency for them. That's why they've been wailing desperately for the president to resign.

sweerychick: don't conclude yet, those Fulani herdsmen can wear the same clothes for weeks, Oyo borders with Osun so it's a possibility, I love the fact that local vigilantes are the ones doing the job. Same thing ESN was doing in the SE before APC infiltrated them with unknown gunmen I've not concluded anything. I said they should investigate. I also said the evidence doesn't stack up so far - because if the guy in the tracksuit is Fulani, he's not likely to be Ansaru (who took the pupils) since Ansaru are not Fulani. Read it slowly. So Kanu/Ekpa's ESN was "doing the job" of protecting people and then APC infiltrated them. Interesting. |

But if na one Smallie social media influencer wey no get even kitchen knife say anything ill about the government, it won't take them 48hrs to track that person and have him arrested even if the person is living inside sea My sense is that the DSS is up and doing.

Politics › Re: US Congress' Resolution On Nnamdi Kanu Urges Fair Trial by JuanDeDios: 7:10pm On Jun 02 |
emkz: Is the US indirectly supporting the activities of Nnamdi Kanu?
Nnamdi Kanu forced his own people to sit at home on Mondays. Nnamdi Kanu publicly requested guns and bullets to wage war against the Nigerian State.
Nnamdi Kanu formed a militia group that Simon Ekpa used to murder civilians. Simon Ekpa is currently in jail in Finland for his terrorist activities.
Nnamdi Kanu received fair trial. He dismissed his own legal team and decided to defend himself. He was given time to open his defence, but he refused and started drama in court.
Nnamdi Kanu's IPOB unleashed violence on his own people. I remember when a young girl was murdered in Imo State when she was doing voters' registration. Does life not mean anything to the US lawmaker making a case for Nnamdi Kanu?
If Nnamdi Kanu unleashed the wave of violence he unleashed in the southeast of Nigeria elsewhere, would he be tolerated?
John James calls for human rights. A terrorist is not a human being and the US lawmaker should speak of terrorists rights and not speak of human rights. Did the terrorist and his henchmen remember the rights of those they murdered? Where was the US lawmaker when IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu and Simon Ekpa unleashed violence on Igbos? Does the lawmaker realize that two soldiers were murdered and their private parts were cut, roasted and eaten, with everything caught on camera? Nnamdi Kanu's and Simon Ekpa's men took responsibility. Can the lawmaker bring those murdered officers back? Well, there's something called "helicopter journalism". I guess there must be "helicopter lawmaking". Mr James must have zoomed in on Mr Kanu, read a paragraph or two about him online, and gone to town calling for his human rights. I wonder if he will also call for Mr Ekpa's human rights soon. Smh. |

Politics › Re: ₦100,000 Minimum Wage Too Low, Workers Deserve ₦1m - NLC by JuanDeDios: 4:09pm On Jun 01 |
dominique: The spokesperson for the Nigeria Labour Congress, Benson Upah, has described the proposed N100,000 national minimum wage being considered by state governors as unrealistic, arguing that Nigerian workers should earn as much as N1 million monthly, given prevailing economic conditions.
Upah stated this in an interview with The PUNCH on Sunday while reacting to comments by the Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum and Governor of Kwara State, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, who disclosed that governors were considering a new national minimum wage of N100,000.
AbdulRazaq, in a Facebook post on Saturday, said the proposal was informed by rising inflation, increasing living costs and the growing financial burden on Nigerian workers.
According to the governor, state governments were already engaging the Federal Government and organised labour to arrive at a wage structure that balances workers’ welfare with fiscal sustainability.
Reacting to the proposal, Upah said although the governors’ consideration of a wage review was commendable, N100,000 was significantly below what workers require to cope with current economic realities.
“We consider it thoughtful of the Kwara State governor to propose this, but certainly, N100,000 falls far below the realistic figure,” he said.
The labour leader cited the continued depreciation of the naira, rising inflation, increases in electricity tariffs, higher fuel prices, declining purchasing power and the impact of new tax measures as factors making a substantially higher wage necessary.
“Given the realities around the exchange rate, inflation, raised tariffs, the surge in the pump price of petrol and associated costs, the decline in the purchasing power of the average worker, and the effects of the new tax regime on our cost of living, the realistic figure, subject to status quo maintenance, would be N1 million,” he stated.
Related News Workers threaten indefinite strike over wages, insecurity Tinubu reforms stabilised economy, welfare lags – CPPE Labour rejects N100,000 minimum wage proposal Upah argued that government revenues have improved significantly and should support enhanced remuneration for workers.
“In light of the earnings by governments, this should not be a big issue. Check what is being shared at FAAC. The windfall from the Middle East war has put over N5tn in the treasury. Even though this is temporary, it is nonetheless very good for governments,” he added.
The NLC spokesman further stressed that the workforce remains the most valuable asset of any nation and should be adequately compensated to ensure productivity and economic growth.
“Finally, please note that the greatest asset of any nation is its workforce,” he said.
The debate over workers’ wages has intensified amid worsening economic conditions following the removal of fuel subsidies and the floating of the naira by the Federal Government.
In July 2024, the Federal Government approved a new national minimum wage of N70,000 after prolonged negotiations with organised labour. However, labour unions have continued to argue that inflation and rising living costs have significantly eroded the value of the wage.
Recent increases in electricity tariffs, transportation costs and food prices have further fuelled demands for another wage review, with labour leaders insisting that workers’ salaries should reflect prevailing economic realities.
The Nigeria Governors’ Forum has yet to formally present any proposal on a new minimum wage framework to the Federal Government or organised labour.
https://punchng.com/n100000-minimum-wage-too-low-workers-deserve-n1m-nlc/ In the end, they'll still peg it at 105 or 110k. And some states will continue to pay 47k. |
