They did not shutdown the national grid that collapses all the time, they asked their workers to leave. Will the grid run itself?

Teenaira:
The labour leaders are just a collection of irresponsible politicians. I can't believe any sensible person will shutdown the national grid for any reason.

Don't be dramatic, power cuts for days happen all the time.

Coming to equity here refers to the fg that were playing hide and seek with labour forcing labour to withdraw their workers at TCN. Since the grid cannot run itself, do you expect then to leave it running?

So the Nigerian masses who suffered the loss of electricity have dirty hands? You don't even know what you're saying.

Ebola Tinubu clever?

You said " Tinubu's best achievement is to take the country's economy back to where Buhari left it" grin grin grin
That is true nah. If person is in step four on the stairs and he is given the reigns of leadership. If he goes down to step one and dig four more steps downwards and start coming up again. Will we say he made progress if he hand the reigns to another in step two down the trench he took his people to?

No nah!

He has to get to the normal ground floor where the reign was given to him before we start measuring his progress. But e get how your downward progress go be, returning people to where you took over go be a world record of world celebration.

What we are saying is that cutting off the power grid is a direct punishment on the masses. That the grid frequently goes down is bad enough. To deliberately plunge us all into avoidable discomfort makes no sense. If you want to fight the fg, then picket government sceretariats, picket the offices of members of the executive. There are a hundred ways to make your point without harming the innocent. These are the reasons why many like myself don't see any sincerity in the current NLC leadership. These are politicians building their peesonal profiles. Its also obvious that a minimum wagebof 60k is a fair figure. What is the point of fighting for 100m when the States will never pay this? Can the private sector afford to pay 100k as a minimum wage? What then becomes of inflation sir? When you invoke the name of the masses sincerity must be the key word.

It’s not that labour is weak.
The opposition parties aren’t saying how much they would offer instead either.
For you to jump from 30k to 252k is insane
Get what you want for 4 years with a promise to review in 3 years during an election year.
Nigeria such a messed up country in this age of information.
Look to civilized country and emulate their positive culture and avoid potholes. We ignore rules and drive the vehicle called Nigeria through all sorts of potholes.
We still blaming white man for planting seeds of discord 64 years after they left. Can we not come together and uproot the seeds and change our way of thinking ?

He’s a dumb fool. All the federal parastatals would have generators for redundancy. How such leaders can sit down and say let’s turn off grid and all agreed is bad chess move.
Every day a new low for this country.

We will see na. Bookmark this thread and many others where you myopic elements are talking nonsense merely because you are most guilty of what you accuse others of.

We will revisit them in a year when Tinubu's reforms would have transfoemed Nigeria to the satisfaction of many Nigerians.

Very obvious most of you attack Tinubu for nothing other than the fact you want your incompetent and below mediocre kinsman Obi as President.

Otherwise you wont be so venomous and toxic against a President only a year into his first term and with reforms an averagely intelligent person can note are grounded in solid and logical solutions-provision brainstorming.

All people like you do is make accusstion against others you think hide what you are i.e biased, bigoted and u progressive elements only devoted to clan and sectional affiliates.
Your comments befit you. A true witch you are, as confirmed by your moniker. Those who reply you may not have noticed you're a witch from your moniker. I suppose your comment is the decision arrived at in your coven. But I put it to you that it will not stand. You bloodsuckers shall suck your own blood this time.

Ajaero will be put in his place. Watch. Tinubu is very clever. He will always stoop to conquer. He needs the support of Nigerians so he will tolerate the misbehaviour and overt sabotage of Ajaero and co for now.

Once Tinubu's reforms start to bear fruit and Nigeria is on the up, positively impacting his popularity and helping him to consolidate power, the likes of Ajaero will be on a one-way ticket to jail trying this nonsense in future.

Tinubu's dealing with Emefiele, before and after he became President, should be a case study for Ajaero and all those who underestimate Mr.President's capacity for ruthlessness because he comes across an amiable and non-confrontational figure.

Fairly predictable chain of events we have seen before and will see again and again.

You’re a very wicked person
For writing this

So you’re in support of the current situation in the county
If the labor union don’t Protest in such a way the govt will feel it and do the needful
How else do you expect them to do it

Negotiations have been going on for over a year now and the government don’t seems to be serious

So people should die because Tinubu is the president

§ oh right. So when people want to suffer, they should suffer something that won't even benefit them right?
2. They didn't strike to bring down inflation that affects everyone, but they are fighting for the minimum wage that will cause more inflation and benefit the pockets of only few. But the rest of the country must suffer so those fews can benefit?
1. These people are simply refusing to work for extreme poverty wages. The ones causing your suffering is your government and not these people. You never elected these workers and so the suffering they have to care for is theirs alone..if your suffering bothers you then fight your government who refuses to pay better for wages to laborers. lipsrsealed

Focus your angst on your elected leaders. lipsrsealed

2. Why should they strike to bring down inflation? They are instead choosing to stike to ensure that even with the inflation they are not shortaged, and are well in their right to do so. Why dem go carry Nigeria problem for head when the current government has was elected by Nigerians? lipsrsealed
