[quote author= post=126974753]We will publicly support an action against any government that thinks that we should lament away our hunger, unfortunately, this strike is not about those issues. We have to be careful not to mix our political opinion with our responsibilities because the issues confronting workers are so many that they should become the priority. This strike is politically motivated 🙄
Below is also from the private sectors....
In September, the Organised Private Sector of Nigeria issued a warning to the NLC and TUC, underscoring the substantial threat that strike actions pose to the country’s economy. Expressing concerns about potential adverse effects on economic stability, the private sector urged a reconsideration of such actions to safeguard the nation’s economic interests.

Iagos: I boarded a bus from Ajah to Oshodi and noticed an unsettling driving behavior from the driver. I suspected he was sleeping, I recorded a video and caught him dozing off while driving on the 3rd Mainland Bridge. Concerned for my safety, I chose to end my journey at Oworo, prioritizing my well-being to avoid potential risks.
Kalatium: No sooner was I on my way leaving the market, after buying all what I need and ticking all the items on my list than a stranger came out of the blue to accuse me of stealing his penis.
I won't say the state this happened.
At first I didn't clearly understood what he meant because he initially said, I should return what left his body.
What looked like a funny claim in my ear turned serious as he started shouting and calling the attention of passers by. People started encircling us and the guy who accused me said we are going to police station, I was like why will I follow you to station when I didn't do anything wrong.
One of the passers by said I should just follow him if I know I am truly Innocent since the station is not far. I had no choice that to follow them to prove my innocence ( the accuser and the passer-by) with many thoughts on my mind. On our way I resolved to call all the important people I know that can get me out of this mess. I first dialed my dad's number and started explaining what was going on before the guy said I should cut the call that we must go to that station or else he will collect my phone.
Eventually we arrived there, and met two police men inside the station compound, then my accuser started laying claim of his stolen manhood story. I was called to narrate what happened and I told them I just left the market gate after purchasing all I needed from the market only to be falsely accused.
The two officer took us inside the station to write a statement. After the accuser narrated his story once more, one of the officer was laughing. The police asked what I do for a living and I told him I am a medical Doctor and the hospital I work. He asked the accuser same question who said he is a university student and doesn't stay far from the market. He asked of both our phone numbers and also gave out his number to us. Then he asked the accuser to put his hand in his trouser to confirm if his manhood is there, the guy touched and the manhood was there.
He then started saying that initially he didn't feel anything there that there have been cases like that in his school and that he was shocked that the thing happened to him that's why he dragged the case to the station.
The police then said that he has been hearing about this stealing of manhood and that people can do diabolical things for money. However, it could also be that his mind might be playing tricks on him as such he felt his penis might be missing when it actuality it is actually there.
The police man said I should go that since the guy has confirmed his penis is intact, there is no case. He said I shouldn't be annoyed that if I were in the guy's shoes I might as well do the same . He also said that it could be that it actually happened but me being there at the wrong time and being there when he felt such that he will easily take the person close by as the culprit. I felt relieved but at the same time angry for been falsely accused and my time wasted for something as dumb as this.
When we were going outside the station, the guy who falsely accused me was dragging his foot and kept working very slow such that I was at a far distance in the front. The passer-by that followed us early was apologizing to me, that I shouldn't be angry.
Damn, I was just feeling different emotions. However, I thank God nothing happened to me ( I wasn't hurt and no mob action or jungle justice), nothing was missing and I came back home safe and fine.
My dad who is in another state got worried when I called earlier. If something had happened to me that guy will have had the worst day of his life. The kind of people that will have come for him eh.
There were 2 things on my mind. It's either that guy did it intentionally to put me in trouble or he is delusional ( superstitious) and/or actually suffering from Koro syndrome.
Help move this to Fp so everyone can be aware of this.
Sorry doc, seems we're now unsafe in this country.
mayorwesley: My broda, ketu is d best for middle class earners(alapere, estate, ogudu orioke axis).

officialwdhtv: I regret coming to Europe — Nigerian woman says, after her family allegedly squandered the N30M she saved in her 20 years of being in Europe
Mekky2010: In normal climes u actually agree on all terms, sign contract before payment. That contract becomes the authority under which payment is being made.
In Nigeria they keep shouting just pay if u like it o else somebody else will pay.
I was forming obodo oyibo while looking for house in Abj, nobody was even ready to show me the draft agreement not to talk of signing before payment.
So called landlords(ladies) are dubious, greedy and crazy people. Imagine me paying for 2yrs rent plus commission and damages adding up to N900,000 and after my rent expired, my landlady increases my rent to 500k from 350k just because a new 2 storey building was built beside my house and the landlord of the house requested for N500k per annum.
I refused to pay the 500k and asked her to give me quit notice of 6months or let me make the payment of 350K x2 of another 2yrs or i use 6-9months free in the apartment before parking out.
Today, the rest is history. You have to be strong and dont do gentle man things with all this landlords and agents.
I'm guessing this would be my fate too if I rent oh...
A Nigerian Mum of four has died after allegedly being subjected to domestic violence for years, Reports.
A Facebook User, Amarachi Iwuala, who shared the sad story, As Sighted By , alleged that the husband of the deceased over the years subjected her to domestic abuse. She said the husband one time, allegedly beat the wife until she became unconscious.
Amarachi said when advised to leave her marriage, the deceased who was nursing a seven-month-old baby, said she would walk away when her children were grown as they were still little. She said the mother of the deceased even asked her to walk away from the marriage, but she also refused.
Posting On Facebook, Amarachi Wrote;
‘’Another woman gone.
She was married to a man who was viôlent towards her. Not just viôlent, he would lock doors and windows, raise music volume, and then start béating her, so that help won't come for her.
One day he béat her till she was unconscious, the whole compound joined in rushing her to the hospital. After treatment, she came back to the same house.
People advised her to leave, she said her children were still little, she wanted them to grow a bit before she leaves. She wanted them to grow yet she was giving birth to more. She had four children, the last one is just 7 months old.
Two weeks ago, an old woman living in their compound called this lady's mother, asking her to come take her daughter if they still want her alive. The mother replied that the lady said she's not leaving.
This is why it's good to have some weyrey as a mother. Even if she doesn't want to leave, use vawulence and bring her out by force. O dighi apu àra.
Back to the story. Two days ago, that is Thursday 2nd November 2023, they woke up in the morning to hear the man béating the woman as usual.
After the béating, normal life continued. They said that night, the lady went about her normal chores, she stayed up till 11pm wasting and hanging cloths. Neighbors saw her.
They all woke up yesterday morning only to hear that the lady is déad. How?
The husband is saying he slept in the sitting room while she slept in the bedroom, that he only entered the room in the morning and found her dead.
Neighbors said her bed was soaked with water though, and there's still no explanation for that.
The husband is saying she should be buried immediately as he doesn't have money to pay mortuary bills.
The sad part, her father heard the news and had a heart attack, she was his only daughter. He was rushed to hospital, but news has it that he didn't make it.
Her 7month old baby cried the whole day and refused to eat every food that was offered her, she was looking for breast milk. She cried till she started running temperature.
See how many lives have been affected by her choices.
Four children rendered motherless. Only God knows what their fate will be, they'll probably be shared amongst relatives who may/may not treat them well.
I know all these because we have a mutual friend who was at their place yesterday to get first hand info. She was crying bitterly on phone while speaking to me, I told her to stop crying, the lady chose this.
The husband cannot even be held responsible. Police came, asked him questions and left.
We keep writing daily for women to learn, but some are determined to waste their lives.
Someone in an abûsive marriage will read this post and say "it's not my portion", and keep staying in the marriage.
Like I'll always say, we can't help everybody. Keep staying, keep waiting for your children to grow up, keep thinking of what society will say, keep thinking of how you'll survive, keep thinking if you'll find another man, keep thinking the children need a father, keep hoping he'll change. Just keep at it, since you have no value for the life you have.''

A 44-year-old man broke down in tears during a live radio interview after DNA test showed he is not the father of all the kids his wife bore for him.
Mr Kola, from Ikire in Osun State, and his wife Toyin Arike have 4 children together – Ayomide, 16, Sarah, 12, and two other kids aged 8 and 5 years respectively.
DNA test was conducted on all 4 kids at the DDC DNA Diagnositic centre in Alakoko, Osogbo, and the result showed that Mr Kola is not the biological father of any of the kids.
When I saw "on air", I honestly thought it was on Dana Air or Air Peace.
lavylilly: You must be a learner, Agbado currently has a bubling night life, 🏠 rent has skyrocketed to 400k for a self contained and 700k for a 3-bedroom apartment.
That 700k for a 3bedroom in Agbado won't even get you a room self in Yaba.
DesChyko: You mean if the other areas are easily accessible right? For sure. I say this with mixed feelings though; the easier it is to commute around an area, the more expensive the area will become. We should expect Yaba to also move up when others are playing catch up.
They won't, they're currently up cos of demand, once that falls, they'll got no choice than to crash their prices.
Why would I live in a tiny room in Yaba for 1M when I can get a room and parlor with 33kva for half the price at 400k at Alagbado?
[quote author=Lanrelagboi post=126800188][/quote]This railway development would lessen the cost of rents in exorbitantly expensive places like Yaba and it's environs, and inturn develop other places like Agbado.
Those shark landlords and land owners in Yaba are soon gonna be in for it.
