They have been morning since Bubu left, they now feel energized. |

Bubu is back |
Ralphlauren:Ese Walter's case is different. Ese is a decent girl with a conscience, this Otobo a stripper. Ese was a dedicated church member and worker, this one is something else. If Otobo was a decent Church member like Ese, nobody will doubt her allegation with or without evidence. Again, Otobo is out to destroy, seeking services of a known political lawyer. Two aren't similar in anyway |
Doubt your Igbo origin, because we're not IBOs but Igbos. |
Nigerians steal like ediots. What's he doing with 47 cars ? Is he on car hiring business? |
Mekwen:One of whom? |
This is a good move |
Don't see why they are still keeping Kanu in prison. Hope they(Soludo & co) are not using him for upcoming elections, to curry favor of Ndigbo. The guy has made a point, Nigeria needs to be restructured or broken. It can only be postponed. The awareness has been created already |
Let them tell us the truth . This man might be sicker than imagined . If he's allowed to continue to rule, we won't know the impact on his policies. He might have a chance of complete recovery if he hands over. This government is a scam |
These people have turned Christianity to something else. Angels would have destroyed earth save for God /Christ who requested they wait for the harvest, when the tare will be separated from the corn. To be frank most churches springing about are just another business venture. |
ngolokante:God or god is correct depending on the context. But frankly, this should not be an issue. Christianity is one of the most criticized religions . Most times, they don't take offense because we believe our God is capable of fighting His wars. It's only a weak god that requires his subjects to fight on his behalf. Besides we serve a forgiving and a merciful God |
ngolokante:You see problem with you guys , you are easily provoked. Simply because I used "god" in small letters? This is the reason I can have a healthy religious conversation including criticism with other religions except you guys . You guys are easily provoked. I have had religious conversations with a Hindu, Buddhist without being afraid of offending them. I always avoid discussing religion with your clan to avoid stories that touch |
In as much as I don't support blanket ban on Muslims, l think Trump is making a point. Over the years, Muslims have denied terrorists are true Muslims, even though they kill in the name of Allah, their god. This has made them lackadaisical in fight against Islamic terrorism and violence. It was the same true Muslims who deny terrorism that nearly killed a lady a few years ago in Sudan for apostasy. They are just taking advantage of western world free and accommodating lifestyle. One aboki once told me at slaughter Port Harcourt that they don't allow miscreants (meaning they know them) in Port Harcourt. Reason is obvious, once a single terrorist act like bombing occurs in Port Harcourt, Aba or Onitsha, they won't be as lenient as cultured westerners. Many of them will rush back to the north and lose out on their business. If the "good" ones know they will be banned entering the US, they will prevent the bad eggs from operating in western nations. Technically, Trump is sending the right message |
Useless people. Nigerian police can't even obey a simple court order. Meanwhile, I thought our judiciary was independent? If police, law enforcement agency can't obey court order, they're not fit to prosecute others |
SalamRushdie:you got me cracking |
Tool small and also not a good idea. $1M=N320M for each bank per week. Who's it going to serve? Bankers will just share it among themselves |
If we can replicate similar ideas, not necessarily car manufacturing in all the states , nobody will depend on oil again. |
Not sure this government has any solution to this |
How can you calm, collected and highly educated man with a former military man with hardly a school certificate. It's not his fault but people that presented and voted him in |
[quote author=LordXaaan post=53713920][/quote]this picture is very disgusting, stop posting |
We are watching with keen interest. |
We celebrate buhari speaking with Trump, yet he couldn't address Nigerians. Meaning Nigerians are not significant to him Anyway, I take with a pinch of salt. Let it not be a case of Trumps aide speaking with Buhari's aide. I await Trump on Twitter or official statehouse news. I don't believe our brothers. |
Kobicove:The truth of the matter is that Baker Hughes did not follow existing Nigeria laws when they laid off staff and paid them peanuts as severance. That's what's being addressed in the court. They know they would lose out, and they are jittery. The bad is that we have a moribund government that does not protect its citizens. In Germany and France, they were given stringent conditions, including paying staff a percentage of their salary until they get a new job. Nigerians made millions of dollars for this company, so they can comfortably pay off staff well if they wish. |
SalamRushdie:None is contract staff, all full staff |
Nothing is advanced with a few survey equipment scattered all around |
Nigerians needs as much money to boost our economy from these companies in this recession . Ex staff of sister companies like Schlumberger and Halliburton, get good payoff to start local content companies which employs other Nigerians. Do you know that some of the millions of naira they collect as tax from employees do not reach government purse. Let Govt and EFCC investigate BHI Nigeria. Do you know this same company collect a bond fee which is against Nigeria law? Do you know staff of the same company get good compensation from other African nations that produce little or no crude? Nigeria money is carted abroad and used to subsidize and pay them heavily, including other African countries |
Christopher Isiguzo in Enugu About 400 aggrieved ex-employees of Baker and Hughes, the third largest multi-national oil servicing company in Nigeria on Friday staged a peaceful protest at the premises of the National Industrial Court Enugu where they are challenging their unlawful disengagement by the company. The protesting ex-workers are demanding for their entitlements said to be worth a whooping N12 billion from the company. The protesters carrying placards, chanted slogans against the companyand its Chief Executive Officer, Martin Craighead, insisting that theirdisengagement did not comply with existing labour laws in Nigeria. Some of the placards they displayed read: ‘Baker and Hughes, How many more deaths Pay us while we are alive’, ‘Martin Craighead, slave master’, ‘Baker and Hughes pay us our money’, ‘Baker and Hughes, pay us like Congo, Gabon, Chad and Ghana’, ‘Baker and Hughes is nepotism’.Briefing journalists outside the courtroom, George Ogara, counsel to the claimants/plaintiffs, said they were asking Baker and Hughes to pay them their adequate severancepackages. Ogara said they were also asking for the post employment medical benefits as operated in other African countries in the same Geo-market with Nigeria, such as Congo, Gabon, Chad and Ghana. He regretted that while workers disengaged by the company in the other African countries were adequately compensated with redundant allowances, Baker and Hughes treated those in Nigeria like slaves, not minding the position of Nigeria as the head of the Geo-market. Ogara regretted that 15 of the disengaged workers have died and their widows are suffering, adding that they were asking that their entitlements be paid to them. Earlier yesterday, hearing on the suit brought before the National Industrial Court Enugu by the ex-employees against the company was stalled, following the plea by the defendants’ counsels for more time to enable them to resolve issues over their representation as well as file their reply to the suit. Ogara, the counsel to the claimants/plaintiffs had asked the court to allow him to proceed with his motion on notice as it appears that the respondents were not opposing it. The motion is seeking among others for an order to restrain General Electrics from acquiring Baker and Hughes or ensuring that the ex-employees were paid their benefits (totaling about N12 billion) before the acquisition. However, one of the respondent counsels, Ismail Muftau told the court that he has not received the processes for the motion on notice fixed for the day. Muftau who appeared alongside Ayoade Oluwasammi for the defense, later admitted that he only sighted the processes from one of his colleagues in the defense and asked for time to reply to it when served. But, Ogara told the court that the claimants were in a hurry and that the defendants were bidding for more time to destroy the res (subject matter) in the case. In his ruling, Justice Auwal Ibrahim said the matter has to be adjourned to enable service to all the parties and to allow the two lawyers to the defendants to resolve issues about the particular defendants that they are representing. Justice Ibrahim adjourned the matter to March 10th for the hearing of the motion. Speaking with journalists after the court sitting, Ogara said they were asking for justice for 219 ex-employees of Baker and Hughes, who are among the 1000 who were declaredredundant and sent home without benefits. But, Muftau who equally spoke with journalists outside the courtroom, dismissed the claim of the ex-employees, saying that they collected severance benefits and returned to court thereafter to ask for more. http://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2017/02/12/aggrieved-ex-bakerhughes-employees-protest-in-enugu-demand-n12b-entitlements/
