Omo.. People in government just do absolutely nothing and get away with earning ridiculous money
Because what is this??

Lagos State government abeg nauuu..

BlueRayDick:
U watched the podcast too ? Cabasa na senior man with wisdom ; he's the kind of egbon youth supposed use as mentor. But the whole craze about the pursuit of money has made the voice of people like that uninspiring to the youth.

I honestly hope alot of people go to him because my God that man is filled with wisdom

iamoyindamola:
You don't know before

He faded because he refused to move with trend, last time i read about him i think he's a pastor now

I think he is the director of music

Omo

When did Labour say this particular strike was for the masses?

Use it

Judiciary is actually gone in Nigeria omo

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I think so.

It is not like Ajaero was caught bribing or smuggling in ballot papers. Does he not have the right to support anybody he wants? Abi constitution no allow NLC chairman to vote?

How come nobody crucified him when he was holding Obi's hand in February? Abi that one no be politics?[/color]

Lmao.. This na angle 90.

BlueRayDick:
At this point, It appears I'm not following u; me and u no dey talk the same thing.

You are the one that's going off point Bros.
Since una dey blame Ajaero for this protest as if e nor suppose happen because Ajaero was reportedly there on political business (which evidence nor dey)
So I'm trying to show you how even if it's an ordinary civilian that's making NLC react this way, it's worth it.
Talk less of someone that is their leader.
Sho get?

😂😂😂😂😂

izzou:
[color=royalblue]This same NLC adopted Obi as its candidate in February.

Was Ajaero political then, or......should i change the agenda?[/color]

Please go on😁

BlueRayDick:
Oga I never said anybody should be beaten whether politician, NLC chairman or ordinary citizen.

I've always maintained it here that NIGERIA IS A JUNGLE. We've seen government sponsoring thugs to disrupt peaceful protest, we've seen government covering up the death of peaceful protesters killed by security agents, we've seen a whole lot of absurdities happen in this country.

I don't need to support APC to know Ajaero played politics with the Imo workers situation. Anybody with half a brain knows Hope Uzodinma will do anything possible both legal and illegal to stop any protest that will affect the outcome of the election and that was what he did. U don't even need to be an Einstein to know that November 1st protest was going to end the way it did.

U are talking of mental damage being done, mental damage don happen tey tey for this country bro

So again if the NLC is challenging the madness meted out on a civilian who is not even it's member, would you blame the person for being a politician?
Talkless the leader of the NLC who evidence has shown that he was there on official visit.

Abi if FG knows they are right, why ribadu dey beg NLC saying they've arrested the culprits.

Larride.
This is 8yrs and 5 months into your party's leadership, what is the plan to address inflation?
I'm sure you have seen the figures released by the nbs (hoping it's even accurate)

That we accept certain absurdities doesn't mean they are right.

If Onanuga were not suffering from selective amnesia, he ought to have known that this government should remain grateful to the organised labour for its uncommon patience with a government that clearly was not prepared for the consequences of its fundamentalist market policies of massive currency devaluation and ‘subsidy’ removal which imposed on Nigerians social violence, upheaval, dislocation, displacement or punishment they never before experienced.

Onanuga, similarly ought to have known that organised labour, by not opting for a strike as a first option, acted as a bulwark against the rage of Nigerians thereby saving this government from itself.

Organised labour is not unaware of the misdirected anger of Nigerians for not going for the jugular of this government for justifiable reasons: inflation moved from 19% to 29%; exchange rate from N400 to N1,300; and pump price of pms from N187 to N700, in the first five months of this government!

In light of this, who is punishing “a whole country of over 200 million people”, NLC/TUC or Government of Bola Tinubu?

Similarly, this strike is not “over a personal matter involving the NLC President, Mr Joe Ajaero, whose error of judgment led to the assault on him in Owerri while he was planning to incite the workers in Imo State into a needless strike”, as casually and callously alleged by Bayo Onanuga.

However, herein lies the kernel of the matter. Mr Ajaero is General Secretary of NUEE and neither he nor any of the members of his union in or outside Imo State is owed a salary/pension payment arrears. However, in his capacity as President of the Nigeria Labour Congress he has an oversight over all the unions affiliated to the Congress including the civil servants and pensioners (core/non-core civil servants, teachers, local government workers, pensioners etc) who have been owed in varying degrees of arrears. There have been pending cases of improper implementation of national minimum wage, declaration of thousands of workers as ghost workers, and non-implementagion of agreement reached with the sate government since 2021. Some of this went to court and the state government asked for time out of court for settlement but did not honour its own voluntary agreement as usual. The state government in a written statement did admit it was too busy working to honour its own voluntary agreement. A previous strike action was suspended on the appeal of elder statesmen and women and an appeal by state government. After this, Congress made every humanly possible effort to have the issues peacefully resolved, all to no avail. Congress was left with no option than to resume a strike action in the state with notice. Congress had been to a couple of other sates that did not even commit the sins of Imo State Government.

Coupled with the above, fresh demands were made following the abduction, and gruesome assault and battery òf Comrade Joe Ajaero (by the Police) out of which none has been met fully.

How then could this be a personal matter to Joe Ajaero? Before he became Congress President, he never bothered himself with the affairs of Imo State or any state for that matter except it was the decision of Congress organs.

It is in light of this we would want the world to know that Onanuga’ s sadistic comment is a Freudian slip as this is the way his principals view the Imo State tripple-digit tragedy: the non-payment of workers/pensioners benefits; the choking/stifling environment that leaves workers and citizens gasping for air; the license for impunity that covers murder and attempted murder of dissenting voices including Comrade Joe Ajaero which the Nigerian State now passes off as a “personal matter”. When we first heard through the grape vine that glasses were clinked and pleasantries earthily exchanged by the powers that be following the arrest and torture of Comrade Joe Ajaero, we thought it was one of those rumours but with this confirmation from Bayo Onanuga, we now know better!

But we would want Nigerians not to succumb to the “private matter” narrative as we would wish to remind them of the famous poem, “When They Came for the Jews” ( When they came for the Jews, I said I was not a Jew; When they came for the Teachers, I said I was not a teacher….By the time they came for me there was no one left to shout…).

The arrest and “protective custody” of Comrade Joe Ajaero by the Nigeria Police Force which led to multiple injuries to his person and psychology, is a state-sponsored act of terror not just against an individual but all of us freedom-loving Nigerians. This government is testing the waters, and what a better target than a high-profile Labour leader. If it gets away with it then who amongst us is safe?

Take heed and open your eyes and note that this systematic assault on the citizenry is being co-ordinated by a tiny clique within the government on all fronts: economic, political and social. It is total violence!

We consider it an insult to our collective intellect and sensibility when Bayo Onanuga averrs that “the Federal Government does not condone any form of violence and assault on any citizen…[and] that the Inspector General has ordered investigation into what happened to Mr. Ajaero…”.

So the police will now be the Judge, Jury and Jailer in their own case? What a country we run! Secondly, what per chance, will the police be investigating, when the government by the admission of Onanuga has already found Ajaero guilty, arrested him, convicted him, punished him through torture for “planning to incite the workers in Imo State into a needless strike”.

We concerned Nigerians are not interested in a charade. We demand an honest and thorough investigation by competent and independent professionals (with free and unfettered access to information, people and materials) from within and outside the country. Comrade Joe Ajaero holds offices on the international circuit.

BlueRayDick:
lol. Which NLC ?

Is it only Ajaero that makes up the NLC ? Ajaero clearly has his own personal interest in the politics of his home state, he should find ways to settle his differences with the politicians in that state; he shouldn't drag the other 35 states and FCT workers with him while they are resolving their differences.

Should someone on a normal day be beaten up by powers that be?
Abi is it because the NLC has the power to treat the politicians fvck up?

I'm not sure you are seeing the mental damage being done here

izzou:
[color=royalblue]If Ajaero had gone for his mother's burial, and then got beaten by thugs, would the Strike then make sense to you?

If he was beaten while buying corn, would you join a strike if he called fir it, since we now need a reason to know why anybody should be beaten up.

Fvk NLC, but why should anybody think it is okay to physically assault an NLC Chairman, for whatever reason it is?

Politics 😁.

This country Don Bleep with us

BlueRayDick:
I found out that this Seretide inhaler for those managing asthma was being sold for between 8k and N10k before the whole economic wahala and GSK leaving Nigerian market .

Now it’s being sold for N70k and those managing asthma are finding it difficult to adjust to the new price owing to the general rice in prices of all other essential commodities .

Omo na wa o. Only God knows if people with asthma are not dying in silence without anybody raising the matter in the public space .

Padin?
GSK left and no local competitor (like our APC people have been saying) took over?

Imagine my surprise at this.

It's the same thing with other drugs they supplied.
The prices have gone up

Amigoss:
Lmao,the day I drank stout,I spit am out....That thing is for cultist

Bro.
Stout na for ritualist.
I Don try am and nor be for me.
Goldberg or Heineken

BlueRayDick:
I know one bros I’ve never seen him drunk before . We attended UNI together but he was way our senior sef cos that time we were in final year his first born was already writing GCE.

That bros , I don’t know how he does it but he just always seem to be normal no matter how strong he drinks . U can sit with him and drink from morning till evening and when he goes on to drive he won’t drive recklessly or too slow on the road . I guess his own too is most likely genetics

Lool.. Na only 1 babe I know wey dey like this.

Big dog Big God

Lmao..
My mama dey process japa papers for my family Caucasian dog.
Who knew your dog had to do 3 months of medicals before it can be allowed to relocate.

Larride your guy has dropped another one 😌

larride:
Of course, If you follow Tinubu colloquium that he does on his birthday annually, he always give his advice on how things can be improved on.

There's one that Buhari was the Guest Honor of the day and Tinubu was talking about how to tackle and reduce corruption in the civil service. He practically told Buhari then that Efcc alone cannot eradicate corruption from the civil service until a credit system is made paramount instead of the cash and carry system we currently operate. A gave an example, A civil servant that has been working for say 6-10yrs, how does this civil servant buy a car or get a home? If he wants either, he will be required to pay cash for it, if his salary cannot fund it, he looks for way to game the system to get the cash to buy the car/house. But a credit system where civil servant can use their job/salary to get these things on credit while they pay installmently will help reduce corruption in the civil servant by a big stretch. Likewise mortgage for houses.

When they wanted to increase VAT to 7.5% also, in that year Colloquium, Tinubu pleaded with V.P Osibanjo and his team not to go ahead with the increase of VAT because it will reduce the purchasing power of the masses and further throw more into poverty. He rather suggested that the tax net be expanded to include those whose income are taxable but not currently paying taxes into the tax net, he even suggested luxury tax that target the elite. But what did Osinbajo did? They went ahead with the VAT increase anyways. I think that's when Tinubu stop disturbing himself with any advice if they are not going to consider it.

E be like say as e turn president, the taxing begin rise like 6am blockus

larride:
This doesn't make sense. Tinubu was never indicted. He was investigated and he came out clean. I remember telling homestead that the 460k that was forfeited for most likely for Tax evasion and it turns out I was right.

How can you say someone launder money and the money was released to him, he wasn't indicted, didn't do jail term or even arrested.

Your hatred for the man has beclouded alot of you guys thinking big time.

How we go do am?

Larride your man just dey drop banger😁

ouzo1:
.

God

BlueRayDick:
Una never see anything .

During the campaigns I said it boldly here that Tinubu is a Tax master with plenty PR/Propaganda , dem nearly call for my head and said my "hate" for Tinubu has beclouded my reasoning.

That's why I shake my head seeing people's whatsapp status reading " This administration will favour me and my family " ....Dem no know say that prayer will most likely not be answered if u don't belong to Tinubu & Associate's family.

Can you point out one of this "they" 👀
