Economic woes: Hunger is now the National Anthem

Hunger now the National Anthem!

*High cost of goods persists
*Market women lament low patronage and scarcity of funds
*The Naira continues to be worthless


ONITSHA - Nigerians has continued to witness a high cost of goods ranging from cosmetics', provisions, foodstuffs as well as fairly used clothes popularly called Okirika. When BushFm visited a cross section of Nigeria markets, the story was almost the same everywhere. The popular Ose market in Onitsha and Ogbe-Ogonogo market in Asaba was the first point of call. At Ose market in Onitsha, you could notice the displeasure in the eyes of the market men and women as the sit idly waiting for a never-coming customer. While some erroneously believes that the 'bad market' was peculiar only to the markets in the entire zone, as a result of the
Federal Governments alleged disdain and skewed economic policy implementation against the zone, others say the Federal Government led by Mr Buhari is just being plain wicked against the masses. Mrs Angela a plastics seller was very emphatic when she said the country is no longer working, and everything is in a standstill now. "if you look around you will see that nothing is working again in this country, and everything is in a standstill now. Things are even getting worst everyday, nobody is coming to buy plastic anymore, instead they rather repair their broken plastic than buy new ones. 'Can you imagine? I have been sitting down here
since morning without selling anything, unlike before when I used to make between Six thousand and Eight thousand Naira daily'. My dear... there is hunger in the land, She lamented!"

A plantain seller BushFm later learnt was actually a widow, mistook our reporters as government agents and was almost irate when she was asked to say something about the 'bad market' by our reporters. "God will never forgive you people... All this money you people are putting in everything eh... God will punish you people. Even the kerosene we are using to cook is now very very costly... is it because you people are using Gas?" She queried.

Away from Ose market Onitsha, the situation was even worst in Ogbe-Ogonogo market Asaba. When BushFm visited the now modern market, the market was almost scanty as you could see marketers discussing inside their different Shops instead of selling. A quick survey of the foodstuffs market showed that things were exceedingly very expensive. For instance, Four pieces of small sized Potato cost between One hundred and fifty naira and Two hundred naira depending on who is the seller. Unlike before when it was sold for fifty naira. The same goes for a tuber of Yam which was about a hundred and fifty naira before, now costs between
three hundred naira and four hundred naira as the case may be. While a piece of Onion is sold at the rate of twenty naira.



*Naira continues to be worthless:

For Mrs Rose the naira is now a worthless currency, since the present government took over power from the Peoples Democratic Party. She lamented that the naira could now hardly buy anything of value in the market other than a bottle of beer! The naira has continued to grow weaker making it difficult to import even fairly used clothes(Okirika). Rose, a graduate of Business Administration from the University of Binin, said she ventured into Okirika business because of the lucrative nature of the business. But now she is planning of abandoning it because the reverse is now the case. According to her, "I am very stranded
and frustrated now, I voted for President Buhari thinking that he will be different from others. But it is now very clear that others are even better than him, right now there is no food on the table of the common man, no fuel, no kerosene, no light, and the exchange rate of naira to the dollar keep increasing. Infact there is real hunger in the land, that is the new NATIONAL ANTHEM!

The only people that are jittery about the discovery of exploitable crude deposits in Lagos are the fooools destroying oil facilities in nd. The nincompoops are wreaking incalculable ecological havoc on their land and stewpidly assume that they're hurting nigeria. Crude definitely exist in commercial quantity in lake Chad basin and elsewhere outside nd. The self-serving hoodlums of nd had better realise that dialogue, not violence, is what will bring the nd region progress and development. The good people in nd must seize the initiative from the scatter-brain bandits called militants and work selflessly for their homeland.

PoliticsLagos State Insists It Has Oil, Releases Pictures by onexile(op):
The Lagos state Government has reacted to the claims of Asari Dokubo few weeks ago, that the State is not an Oil producing State.

In a bid to put the matter to rest, the govt has released several pictures of the Oil wells and production facilities for all to see.


The pictures exclusively obtained by our reporter shows the massive Oil depots in Lagos State.

The pics shows that Lagos States Oil is bigger and lager compared to that of the Niger Delta and the entire South-Eastern region combined together.

Oga stop this childisj rants. I have gone through both arguments. I am surprised you can not still understand the point here. Does thw fact they were not forced to sign make it right even when labour laws are flouted?
Oga stop this Oldish rants too.

Read between the lines. The argument is whether the Banks broke any law within the contest (based on the contract that was signed!)
it's not time for emotions pls. You got to the Bank for a job hunt, you are told the nature of the job and the 'terms and conditions applied'. After everything you are graciously been given the job. And with your eyes wide open, you signed away your right of belonging to any Union. With your eyes wide open you signed away you right to Job security, only to come back later and start shouting Ololooooooo!

Now let me remind you the latest, incase you are not aware, pls pic up your gadget and Google FG's Mass retrenchment, and you will be surprised how many Nigerians that has been sacked by this present govt since taking over. And more are still been expected to be sacked.

So are you saying it's okay and it is the prerogative of Govt to Hire and Fire, but the Private sector dosnt have such right?


And pls if you wanna have a healthy conversation with me, mind your language and don't be insultive.

If you didn't have selective blindness u have clearly seen the points highlighted. Keep trying to play around with words when u can clearly understand the point.
When i say slavery mentality, is exactly the silly question u asking me. Asking if they were under compultion, if the laws of the land were strictly followed in the first place, will there be some useless, wicked clauses in the "agreement". Off course because everything goes in Nigeria, it is now a way of life, even when cheated, u can even defend your employer. Have u heard of any banking union in the past 5 years? Go back to my previous post, this time read clearly and understand. If all u can come up with again is this same thing u wrote before. Then am sorry to say, u have also be corporately enslaved mentally.
I thought I was arguing with a Sensible person, but your consistent verbal assault has left me with no option but to indulge you.


I will advice you go take your bath cos you're actually stinking!


Now listen dude, all those points you narrated has not answered my simple question which is, were they under compulsion to sign the contract?


Was there a gun pointed to their heads as they were signing the contract?

Pls answer these questions and stop your Iberiberism

First and formost, there is laid down procedures to declare redundancy. It is must u call all unions involved and discuss and negotiate with them. Unfortunately, the executives of the banks have successfully cowered its workers to working without belonging into any union. In fact any form of union is not even allowed in the banking sector, which is a pure violation of a worker's right. The old generation banks, had unions then, forgotten the name they call it, UNI...cant remember. Offcourse, they have also been silenced. Now they have the NLC to negotiate and discuss with, how many of them do that before ur password refuse to log on again. I remember FCMB wrote a letter to my friend then, asking for 2 million because he didn't use the specified number of years before resigning, unfortunately for them, thr guy's father is a Lawyer. He simply wrote them back that, they breached the contract first by slashing his salary after which no new contract was signed. So therefore, the contract at which he was to return 2million to the bank if he resigns before the specific years is void already. That was the last time he heard from them. Free your self from slavery mentality. Imagine a bank sacks u at will, but want u to pay for resigning.
You keep talking about 'mental slavery' but from our correspondences so far, i keep wondering between both of us who actually is a victim of Mental Slavery. But i'm not gonna indulge you in that malopiniotic rendezvous.

Now according to you, "the executives of the banks have successfully cowered its workers to working without belonging into any union"

pls can you explain what you mean by 'successfully cowered'?

*Were they under compulsion to sign the contract agreement?

*Are you saying they were oblivious of the terms and conditions applicable to the contract agreement?


I am still waiting for your response. And precisely, the Labour Law you alleged the Bank broke.

May God deliver my people from slavery mentality. Read Section 20 of the Labour Act. Thank me later. in fact private sectors have been violating almost every thing contained i. The labour act. That Nigeria is a lawless country should not cage ur brain into slavery. Who are they banks to even engage in negotiations in the first place when they have banned or union activities. Or u don't even know as a staff of an organization, it is ur right to belong to a union of workers engaged by your organization. My people perish cos they lack knowledge, yet they come on line to argue blindly.
The only way u can make a sensible point ks if u tell me the private sectors are not governed by the labour act in Nigeria
You are trying howbeit unsuccessfully to be logical. Pls stop looking for an escape route.

Yes i have read the labour Act, infact i just finished reading it a while ago. Okay now lets argue in-line and within the contest.


So i ask you a simple question, tell me precisely what labour law the Banks has violated in this instance?


I am waiting for your response before we go into the basics of that Labour Act.
