Let 'us be honest....if tinubu hadn't stepped in , Nigeria could have gone dark.Dangote may have its faults and PENGASSAN's threat was like bombing the country to punish one man.

Labour rights matter but the national interest comes first.

I concur.

Seun , stop putting words into our mouths with this your characters

Tik tok
Hamas move Ur terrorist ass and get the deal done

If Trump can get this done . He has my vote for a Nobel Peace Prize .

Past US Presidents just didn't fathom the humongous power at their disposal. Sometimes, you don't even have to use them just threaten to . And be ready to make enemies of some friends

helinues:
The economists, financial institutions,the business men and women have been saying positive things about the progress been made by the administration of president with his policies and reforms but some 2x2 traders who dont know Jack about economy have been saying the opposite just because they are in the opposition.

They will all be alive to witness the growth and development of Nigeria

God bless Nigeria

Truly , those with foresight will see progress. Hope those of us whose blood is being used to power this progress will live to witness and also enjoy it, the way he is going on about it .He should let it have a have a human face that accommodates the less privileged in the society so that they too can buy into the idea. Because they are the Nigerians
I hope it's not just progress for the rich, affluent and connected? Hope its progress for all and sundry

HacheNoire:
The fake Jews will bomb anything and name it anything.

Let’s even imagine it’s a terror cell, shouldn’t they have disarmed Hamas yo see if kidnap victims are there.

These fake Jews always think we all don’t have brains to reason.

They probably must have bombed another shelter and call it a terror cell.

Caucasians claiming to be from the Middle East. As a matter of fact. They are not even creations of God

Please, lecture us on how to disarm a suicide bombing terrorist.
Seems you've done it b4

Way to go !

If you're taking good care of your staff I don't see the need for union moreover, they can form their own union

You are delusional!

The paid actors will feed your brain with propaganda and you run to town with vuvuzuela.

The side coming out with most propaganda is Hamas.

They show nalturished bandaged kids with tomato taste all over their body asking for likes and whatever.
I don't know what's wrong with you all . Must terrorists kill us all before we act ?

CharlesNavy:
Boss, thanks for the info
Redmi 14C was released 2024 while the S10 was 2019. The gap plenty oo
But even at that, S10 is better than redmi 14C

I'm just concerned about the wear and tear from the usage . Especially battery issue

CharlesNavy:
If I want to swap the S10 with redmi 14C, how much would I top up?

Top again. Do you know the age of this phone?

Emeskhalifa:
And the shootings in America nko?

Ogar every country get wettin dey do dem.

This particular crime is religiously motivated

This thing has been on going for years but nobody to fight for those contract workers because they don't earn much to pay any union fee.

asolocoaso:
Israel should also release all the Palestinians kidnapped and locked up for over 10 years.

If there are still any Hamas prisoners in Israel ,Israel is just holding them to bargaining power because Israel's position is plain bd simple. Stop harbouring terrorists attacking Israel .
What Israel is doing is even in favour of us here in Nigeria. We all know BH sprang from ICIC , Hamas and co so by destroying their roots it will favour us too

asolocoaso:
When Hitler killed Jews, we had sympathy for them.
Have some sympathy for the Gazans.....Is your heart made of Stone ?

Who are the we . Were you born then ?

What did the Jews do to Hitler to warrant what he did to them ?

These situations aren't the same

asolocoaso:
International law must remain the compass. The directives of the ICC (International Criminal Court) and the United Nations are binding frameworks, not optional suggestions.

To describe the situation merely as a ‘war zone’ is reductive. What we are witnessing is an unfolding genocide, overseen by an individual, Netanyahu, who stands accused on the world stage as a perpetrator of international crimes.

Under such conditions, the people of the region, and the broader international community, reserve the moral and legal right to challenge an illegal blockade and to render humanitarian aid directly to the Palestinian population.

Once beaten, twice shy
Uneasy lies the head that wear the crown

Israel will never allow what happened to them during WW II happen again. They have to be proactive. Not every government is irresponsible like ours . Netenyahu is fight a survival battle and only terrorists, their sponsors and supporters need be afraid . This is is simple if youre not hostile to Israel, Israel won't bother you . But if it's contrary, well ,you know the deal

Where's the wife in question? Is she the pretty lady in the picture? When the Oluwo of Iwo said he was poisoned thrice, does he mean adding something like Snipper in his food to send him to his maker? If so, why is he still alive and why would you let someone poison you the second time?

This Oluwo is too controversial, without any atom of decorum.
Must you wash your dirty linen in public?

....with a stern warning that they should resign their union membership

iceking4:
Oga go home and manage the little money that you're paid to sabotage your fellow country men. If you claimed he's lying debunk with facts not emotions. Engineers payslip has been leaked to the internet for days, 800 people cannot be lying. Do you know more than Dangote himself who claimed that he's engineering staff are the best , and then few days later sack them ? You can defend lie for long especially when truth is without clothes


Simple question, Shell, Exon mobi, Total are private companies and they're national assets too, has the union destroyed them ? Why is Dangote case different? I know you're sponsored but posterity will judge you !

Do the companies you mentioned have local refineries ? It's those conglomerate that are wedging proxy wars against Dangote because he dares to set up a local refinery to put an end to their importation scheme. Since the payslips had been made public why didn't you attach it to boister Ur argument?

Moreover, Dangote Refinery is nearly 5 years old but you want to compare it's payslip to companies with over 50 years operations.
If we don't support Dangote Refinery now those cabal begin PENGASSAN will overrun it and make it useless same way they made NNPCL

Reference:
Said it from the get go.
Dangote should settle with the unions.
Yes. The enemy of the entrepreneur anywhere is regulations and red tape. They are like the speedometer, they are like the ABS, they are like the brakes. But they are there for a reason. To ensure you go out and return safely. And not just for whoever drives the car but every road user that the car comes across.

I have said it before. The unions are an open window to the operations of the organisation they supervise. Without them the public will not know what happens in their universities, their hospitals, and their oil industry.

And I will say this to the public the Dangote company appeals to. The moment that window is shut you will no longer have access to information thoughtless of influence and with poor government oversight the sky will be the li.it ad to how that company will shape the industry going forward.

To me this is like taking your car into town without brakes or indicators. If it is a national asset as they say then it needs national superintending of which the unions have an important role to play.

Dangote Refinery should llow the Union supervise his Refinery the same manner they supervised the three Nigerian refineries ba ?

WithFact:
Monopoly is dangerous. The effect will be devastating 😢. I can't with for greedy that would inturn, consume my humblest.
Fight your Fight .
Pumps price was 650k-700k before your refinery fully commenced operation. Now, you want me to buy fuel at 880 per litre to stand for you. Fight your Fight.

How much your NNPCL selling? That's a government company o!
Dangote Refinery is even cheaper than NNPCL. IF NNPCL reduced theirs I'm sure Dangote Refinery will follow suit . But most time it's Dangote Refinery that usually force NNPCL to reduce first

RayRay06677:
Earlier today, I deleted my previous post about the Dangote Refinery because I spoke directly with one of the staff, and now I know exactly what is happening. What I heard broke my heart and made me angry at the same time.

The truth is this: the company says they don’t bother if staff join any union, and PENGASSAN only returned after staff registered. But when the company realized that over 95% of its workers had joined, instead of addressing the issues, they shockingly released a statement firing all Nigerian staff. Imagine that! Generalizing and throwing out hardworking Nigerians who built this refinery with their sweat and blood.

Do you know what these workers have been through? For years, they endured extreme hardship working in temperatures of over 1000° and with dangerous nitrogen gas. Many lost their lives. Yet their monthly salaries are shamefully small. Meanwhile, Indians in the same refinery, with little experience (often taught by Nigerians themselves), earn 10 times more. To make matters worse, since 2022, the company has failed to provide even basic safety tools like helmets and boots. Staff are forced to buy their own protective gear with their meager salaries. Even job security is a joke people are fired for something as small as forgetting an ID card. This injustice has been ongoing for over five years.

A refinery like Dangote’s, which is supposed to be a world-class project, should stand out for staff welfare, compensation, bonuses, job security, and a healthy relationship between company and workers. Instead, what we are seeing today is shameful and unacceptable.

This is not only unethical it is inhuman. I strongly urge the management of Dangote Refinery to withdraw their decision of mass firing Nigerian staff, provide every necessary safety need, and increase salaries by at least 200%. The Nigerian government must also intervene immediately to ensure our citizens are treated with dignity, fairness, and 100% representation in their own country.

This is no longer just about Dangote it is about the value of Nigerian lives and the respect we deserve in our own land. - *Ibrahim Yahya Harande*

All these are lies and propaganda.
I tell you , it's a privilege to work at any Dangote company. Do you know the crowd that attend their recruitment? Even you , if see opportunity to work there won't hesitate because their salary isn't meagre. Even Graduates apply to be their truck drivers

owobokiri:
With pump prices at nearly 1000 a liter, while you are lifting a significant quantity of your crude from local sources!?!?!
No be only to stand up.
Do we need to jump up and down too?

By the time you're buying 5k/ litre you're have sense .
You think Dangote can't buy at any amount?
His Refinery reduced importation of fuel. We can leave him to fight these cabals alone . It's our fight too

Link please! Osihmen must score and Gala to win

What's all this character. No long thing now

Feelsgood:
A Nigerian politician will help you solve your problems he created for you? They think and reason before you type things here it's really embarrassing. You have sound technocrats but would rather prefer unscrupulous politicians.

I'm sorry but Emefiele is a sound technocrat

If the FG allow this PENGASSAN get away with this acrocities, that means they can't really read between the lines .
It's the issue more than these Dangote Refinery staff that were sacked ? Why are other companies joining an internal raggling? Now NLC too is joining to cripple the whole economy and the FG has not called the DSS to pick up their excos for sabotaging the nation's economy.
But if someone calls Tinubu out now , theyll jump and stick on the person like white on rice .
These same set of union have always complained about this same Refinery claiming it's selling substandard fuel and what have you . And now theyve found an excuse. I've never seen where private company staff involved themselves with strike actions . We've seen ASUU and doctors go on strike but their private counterparts don't join them . Why is this any different?

Dangote Refinery should put it as a prerequisite that if you want to work in their refinery, you won't join the union . Chikena !

Sadly , in all these , we have not heard from the staff of Dangote Refinery to know their side . All we hear is PENGASSAN speaking for them

This is one of the risk of doing biz in Nigeria. Wh have an irresponsible FG .
The FG should call these brats to order now and stop treating them with kids gloves

If not that we don't have a government. What sort of nonsense is this ? What message are they sending to investors

Surface2AirToto:
I honestly don't understand why this thing is causing too much fuss.

Do remind the fault finders.
As if this is art out problem right now

Feelsgood:
Your post said 2-5 million per annum. Which means the average monthly salary for an level entry engineer should be about 300k-400k. Now, I can categorily tell that the monthly salary of a level entry engineer in NLNG is about 800k-1M

When did Dangote Refinery begin operations that you want them to start paying like Mobile and Chevron? The Refinery is the Pride of Nigeria. It's not a global brand

These people should cut him some slack, abeggg!
We have more important things to be angry at

Zionmdde:
And how much is 2million annually minus pension and tax?
The other 5 million is even smaller than what they pay Indians
Get me a senior engineer that earns up to 500k

How much is the minimum wage?
2 million is the basic , when you add allowance and overtime it becomes something. I've not heard of any Dangote workers protesting over poor pay , have you ?
