NURTW is a trade Union of road workers. The same way lawyers have the right to form NBA and medical doctors have the right to form NMA is also the same way road workers have the constitutional right to form NURTW. Freedom of association is a fundamental human right that is guaranteed under section 40 of the 1999 Constitution. So, it is a right you cannot take away from them.

Freedom of association is not the issue here. No one is disputing the right of road workers to form a union.

The problem is that NURTW does not operate like a normal trade union. A union exists to protect workers’ welfare, negotiate conditions of service, and operate within the law. NURTW, in practice, functions as a political enforcement arm and revenue collecting cartel, often using intimidation and violence.

Comparing NURTW to NBA or NMA is ridiculous. Lawyers and doctors don’t forcibly take money from people, shut down cities, assault people, or openly challenge state authority. Rights under Section 40 do not cover criminality or lawlessness.

So yes, road workers can form a union. But no union has a constitutional right to operate above the law or terrorize the public. That’s the real issue being discussed, not freedom of association.

Is this one dreaming? N50 on every N10,000 that I have been constantly charged for over 5 months now

They said they'll start charging senders as they've been doing recipients for a while now

Recipients charges has been going on for over a year. Now both senders and recipients would be charged.

Ironfaceman:
That's an idea worth a try.

I would have to disagree with you, cos from a practical and economic standpoint, it doesn’t really make sense.

Lagos to Ogun is literally a stone’s throw. A flight on that route would barely have time to reach cruising altitude before beginning descent.

Besides if you hear an airline is charging about 100k from Lagos to Abeokuta, you certainly wouldn't board. Reason being that the distance is short, and the road isn’t plagued by the kind of insecurity seen on northern routes, and there are already cheaper alternatives like road transport and rail.

This means that, passengers would naturally choose buses or trains to save costs. Thus creating low demand and near empty flights, and operating an aircraft under those conditions would almost certainly result in losses for the airline.

So realistically, that route wouldn’t be viable, because the economics and passenger behavior just don’t support it.

Ironfaceman:
Analysis upon analysis. It won't bring the life lost.

But how the driver survived this a cident most be studied.

Aj should rethink when travelling to ogun state. Ogun state have a working airport. He may consider flight.

Which airline would transport you from Lagos to Ogun?

The best he can do is to charter a chopper.

It's all over. Manutd failed to grab an easy 3 points against bottom placed wolves.

Gooooooooooooal

Dorgu makes it 2-1 to Manutd

VAR is checking the goal for a possible offside.


Check over : Verdict offside.

Do people still send transport money to women in this era of Uber and Bolt?

You literally just need to open the app, book a ride, and the driver will call her directly and pick her up. If she decides not to meet the driver, na she sabi. You lose nothing.

Transferring cash for transport when both of you live in the same city is outdated and unnecessary. Technology has already solved that problem.

princepee:
Good buy. It's village market things are cheaper there

Yea. That's because in most villages, food items move almost directly from the farm to the market. With minimal transportation, fewer middlemen, and very low overhead costs, prices remain relatively stable and affordable.

Unlike Cities which operate very differently. By the time food reaches urban markets, additional costs have already been layered in. Transportation, fuel, storage, handling, market levies, and other operating expenses. Each step in that chain pushes prices higher.

Sesko should have scored there.

The second half is underway

Gooal

Wolves makes it 1-1

Goooooooooooooooooool.

Zirkzee makes it 1-0 to Manutd

Wolves seem to be playing better. Manutd had better wake up

Why would I suffocate myself here in the name of shopping when jumia still exists?

Angelfrost:
Draw game...!

Wolves are overdue for a win or draw, and who better to gift them if not Amorim and company.

Goan dash them draw na. We're flogging them terribly

prinsam30:
Another game again tonite, possibly the last game of the year for United, I hope they grab all 3 point tonite.

Where are my comrades, kyase nazgul robosky Dominique fergie angelfrost and the rest oya ooo, we need to win this match especially now that chelshit is playing draw and I hope they lose this game so we can top them

This game should be a walk in the park for Manutd

Juliearth:
I would recommend:
1.Stanbic IBTC mutual fund. Though this doesn't lock your cash, but you are guaranteed a great interest rate.
2. Treasury bills. With this amount, you are guaranteed about 750k every 9 months or more over a year.

3. Investment in gold. This is actually the best. The amount in view can get you about 31 grams of gold. You are likely to enjoy a 100 percent interest rate every year and about 500 percent in 5 years. Make sure you buy from legit vendors. I would advise you take a trip to Abuja or kaduna to purchase.

All the best!

Could you explain more about this gold business. And must I buy only from Abuja or kaduna?

If you don't mind, I can send you a DM...

Wao, congratulations! In Lagos the cheapest is 12k and na old layer.

I noticed your daughter munching on a drumstick and just wanted to gently point out something important, out of concern. Kids under 5 usually don’t have strong enough teeth to properly grind meat before swallowing. Sometimes they end up swallowing it almost whole, which can be dangerous and lead to choking.

I’ve read about sad cases where young children choked (and died) on meat because they couldn’t chew it well enough. To be safer, it’s better to smash or cut the meat into very small pieces before giving it to her.

When thugs can assault peaceful protesters openly, under the watch and protection of the police, then the country has completely lost its moral standing.

Peaceful protest is a basic democratic right. Once citizens are attacked for exercising it, while those meant to protect them look on, it's a clear indication that tyrants are the ones in the corridors of power.

So the governor is OK with the kidnappings and killings going on in his state, is that what he's saying? Honestly Trump was right when he called this country a disgraced country.

AngelSlay:
I've worked as a housekeeper in a hotel if you know what we use the towels to clean you won't use them if you lodge 😌. We use to give people water from the pool to bath and we use to give used towel to another guest if you disturb us too much.

Why would anyone use a hotel towel in the first place?

I don't do that. Even if it's an emergency lodging. I'll just take my bath, rub cream and put on my boxers. Withing minutes my body would dry up.

ndidibabe:
That's serious. He doesn't look fit...

Obviously that's why his club is currently battling to escape relegation. We need a more serious goal keeper

It's all over. A well deserved win for Nigeria.

Nigeria go top of the group with 6 points.

ndidibabe:
lol. Which club does he keep for?

Chipper united of South Africa

Nigeria should have made it 4-2 there.

Nwabali. This guy eh. How. Can you jump up to catch the ball and miss?

Na wa o

There would be 7 minutes of added time for Nigeria to hang on to this lead.

Like play like play this people will equalize us.
