chidiokay:In those 6 houses you stayed... You didn't need to "drag" anything with the landlord. Because some of the rights are basic, fundamental and enshrined in the Constitution. Now if you do not know about those rights and the landlord takes advantage of you that's no one's problem. The telling you to be home by 10pm are specific terms to your tenancy contract, which is in essence telling you to sign away your basic fundamental right to free movement. Normally, if you don't accept to the terms of his saying you should be home by 10pm at the initial agreement period then he has no right whatever as your landlord to control your movement. Because the Constitution guarantees your fundamental right to freedom. You can take your landlord to court if he tries restricting your movement but if you signed a contract accepting to comply with his terms then your case in court would be thrown out be you signed away your right to movement. Is it now clear? |

gare:Thank you for your comment. Unions, as every association, are primarily responsible for their own members, not the general public. I cannot understand why you what the union to fight for Nigerians. That's not the mandate for which they were founded. Your president is responsible for you. Make demands. Unions are created to ensure better life for workers. Total, SPDC, Chevron, Exon Mobil and NLNG are just to mention but a few companies that have unions and still thrive. The assumption that the union to kill the company is unfounded. I have once worked in a facility without a union. Workers are abused, overworked, and under-rewarded. Safety was secondary and we were in constant fear for our lives while the company makes billions. I must mention that these companies in the Oil and Gas industry have money and a lot of it. I don't know what Dangote is afraid of. If taking care of workers' welfare is such a problem, then that's a shame. |

chidiokay:Okay. Maybe it's me that didn't read the post fully... Or misunderstood it Sha. Just show me where it is on the post that they signed any agreement or terms before employment to not join any union or association! Because it seems my eye is paining me! |

chidiokay:Official report is what you know. With so many leaks it's way more than that. If we want to continue being the powerhouse in Africa, I know for a fact this is not the right way. At least let the ground solid properly, but not this time that it's still a very cut throat atmosphere where other African countries, arabs, and them Europeans Plants are hell bent and wanting to take down a huge entity like DG.. Nupeng idealism and initiative was for protection based on projections, but this is just nonsense. Dangote group has always been a very reasonable entity with their work force. And they do listen..but with this whole union thing.. it is a definite loose win situation. Even though in hindsight this is good at least they are showing their card and will be a lesson and case study for other industry. But what about years from now.. unnecessary strikes and demands.. Watch out...union is coming back again... What they did to the education sector will be a child play.. and they will keep pushing, but at whose detrimental effect.. and at the end of the day dragging us back or in a way not allowing us to move seamlessly. If they win this battle... Nigerians should just start holding their breath under the mud.. because it will get ugly.. as in really really ugly at that. |

Esthered:Employees of the major IOC (Agip, Shell, Chevron, Total, Elf) in nigeria belong to either Pengassen or Nupeng. Its not a govt thing. Without those unions, employees will be at the mercy of the elite. Do you know why those working in oil companies are rich & live comfortable lives? Because the union ensure they are paid according to international best practices. If not, they would be like bankers & factory workers being used and dumped. Dangote can only do this because he has backing of nigerian govt. If you have nothing to hide, you will not be afraid of union |

unite4real:Yes, I agree with you. For once I agree with Dangote. Those unions wants Nigerians to keep paying expensively for fuel. Imagine using loans to build a gigantic refinery and a bunch of stupid unionists controls when your workers can work or not. That's not acceptable. It's good they'll be learning in a hard way. They all know how those unions are fighting their Oga and yet, they join forces with them. |

Kukutente23:Some companies have unions and many don't. Many private companies take care of their employees so much that unions are unnecessary. You are more likely to find unions in government employ than in the private sector for that reason. The UN workers’ rights watchdog, the ILO, has slammed the UK’s anti-union drive and called on ministers to bring UK union laws into line with international law. |

Judolisco:That one is even too far. Like play , like play, till tommorrow, UNILORIN Academic staff do not belong to ASUU. I can tell you for free that Unionism is merely on paper in the banking sector. There is nothing like NUBUFIE in most of the banks even though they pay yearly dues. Otherwise, the yearly retrenchment will not be a ritual every December close to. Chrisman. Shey na Ovia abi Elumelu. you go try Unionism with when you never get another job. |

Are Dangote workers themselves complaining of poor welfare? If not, then union leaders should take their unionism elsewhere. Let’s be clear before becoming union members, these individuals were first Nigerians, so whatever bad policies the government introduces affect them just like every other citizen. The truth is, unions in this country have rarely delivered real benefits to their members. I was once part of one, so I know firsthand that the leaders enrich themselves while the ordinary members gain nothing. |
