ABUJA, July 13 (Reuters) - Nigeria's main labour unions said they will begin a three-day strike on July 20 after the government and private sector failed to implement a minimum wage law signed by President Goodluck Jonathan earlier this year. Jonathan signed the bill passed by parliament more than three months ago more than doubling the monthly minimum wage to 18,000 naira ($120) from 7,500 naira but the unions say government departments and private employers have failed to raise pay. "We are compelled to take this decision because we have come to the simple conclusion that governments at all levels in this country are not willing and are not ready to pay the new national minimum wage," Omar Abdulwahee, president of the National Labour Congress (NLC) said in a statement. "We are therefore left with no other option than to commence a strike action , that will begin on Wednesday 20th this month and elapses on Friday 22." The union said this warning strike would be followed by indefinite action unless there was a full implementation of the minimum wage. They rejected an offer by the government to raise the pay of some employees within set pay bands. Government officials were not available for comment. NLC members work across most sectors of sub-Saharan Africa's second-biggest economy, including parts of the oil industry. But widespread strike action has been rare in the past few years in Nigeria and previous walkouts tended to last only a day or two, in a country where much of the population is employed in the informal economy and get by on $2 a day or less. |
A second opinion has confirmed the cause of death for the Nigerian man who died after authorities tried to deport him in March 2010. As the Winterthur public prosecutor’s office announced on Wednesday, the rejected 29-year-old asylum seeker had a serious heart problem. That was the conclusion of both the Zurich Institute for Forensic Medicine and more recently, the Institute of Forensic Medicine at Justus-Liebig University Giessen in Germany. The second opinion stated that the man could have died of heart failure even if he had not been on a hunger strike. The report also confirmed that the deportation struggle alone at Zurich Airport was not to blame for his death; he could have died during other strenuous everyday activities. Forced deportation flights out of Switzerland were suspended after the man’s death so that authorities could look into the matter. They resumed to Africa in July 2010 – but not to Nigeria. The first flight bound for Nigeria took off from Zurich Airport last week with 19 rejected asylum seekers on board – but not without incident as two Nigerians resisted boarding. Video footage showing police hitting and clubbing a struggling man have sparked criticism. |
JOHANNESBURG, - South African police said Tuesday they had arrested six people for kidnapping a Dutch man who was lured to Johannesburg by an Internet scam promising a lucrative scrap metal deal. The suspects -- two South Africans and four Nigerians -- allegedly placed an Internet ad for a 42-million-rand ($6.1-million, 4.4-million-euro) scrap metal deal, then kidnapped the Dutch consultant when his company sent him to investigate, holding him hostage in a Johannesburg house. "The suspects phoned Holland, demanding a ransom of $50,000. Eventually, they were paid $15,000 through a UK account. The victim was dropped off at OR Tambo Airport (in Johannesburg) after the ransom was paid," South African national police said in a statement. The arrests came after police staked out the house where the man had been held, the statement said. Three of the suspects will appear in a Johannesburg court on Tuesday and three on Thursday, it added. |
VALIDATOR:It is very possible to remain faithful! if you wish you fight! You belong to the very few that are strong willed! |
It is the desire of everyone, the husband, the wife and the in-laws are that both spouses remains faithful to each other, but the HARD TRUTH is, these categories of people will always remain. Men who will remain faithful against all odds Women who will remain faithful against all odds Men who will cheat secretly without their wife ever knowing Women who will cheat secretly without their husband ever knowing Men who will cheat openly Women who will cheat openly My own conclusion is that, so long as we live in this sinful world, you can only wish away evil, it will continue to exist. SOME MEN will stop cheating on their wives any day SOME MEN stops stealing. If you want a faithful man or woman, watch out for that during your dating days, if s/he has ever dumped u to wack another guy/gal, and you still went ahead to get married, the same scenario will repeat itself. If s/he respects you and don't want to hurt you, s/he will hide it from you, else, you'll see it with your two very eyes. Men and women cheat equally, trying to catch one is like trying to spy on a cat mating, Remaining faithful to one spouse far outweighs the disaster of cheating, stds, HIV/AIDS, death of dad, mum, kids, and the whole family is effaced! WILL ALL MARRIED MEN CHEAT? the Answer is NOOOO! but you have to look for the very few that will not, cause they are really really very few! |
EuroMeko:U're welcome EuroMeko, Fela is a prophet, he had seen all these nonsense we're going through and has rightly concluded that we're zombies that will never act even if we're dying. All I know is that everything has an end, one day, all these will cease to exist, if Nigerians can act, external bodies may intervene, just as Cameroun is planning to take away obudu cattle ranch now! |
That can only happen in the south, the north are untouchable, have you ever heard of any state of emergency in the north?? no way, the military tackled the militants in the Niger delta, leveled Odi, controlled ekiti, put an end to kidnapping in Aba, but were givinn us a lame excuse of not controlling the BH crisis in the north, off all the bloodshed in Jos last year no state of emergency was declared, Bauchi too. This is a theoretical analysis of the situation: Most of the soldiers are from northern extraction, and will not kill their own people, they are only ready to deal with other tribes. There are political heavy weights in the north, damn too heavy that they are untouchable by anybody, they dictate the direction of Aso rock! The BH uprising though it had an initial cause, it's now a handy tool by politicians to undermine the power of the present administration to portray it as incompetent, and the government is yet to prove otherwise. agitator:Thanks man! It's good we tell our selves the truth. one can not lie to his very self! It high time we define what we really want in this country. Even the politicians clamouring for the unity of Nigeria are doing that on the backdrop that oil money is still flowing out for them to misappropriate. The day this oil stop flowing or if crude oil is no longer needed in the international market, then we shall see the true color of every politicians |

I think the yardstick to measure cleanliness is not taking pictures of recently renovated roads and newly built shopping malls, parks, government centres etc. Cleanliness should be measured by the people's attitude to neatness. A neat attitude + A neat people + A neat Community + A neat government policy = A neat City A dirty attitude + A dirty people + A neat Community + A neat government policy = A dirty City That explains why Calabar will remain a neat city, Calabar people inherited their neatness from the long sojourn of the white man there. Extremely few percentage of calabar people are dirty! So Calabar is the neatness and cleanest for the above reasons, Enugu comes next. |
