flokii:What proof do you have that Indians were employed immediately to replace them.. Secondly if you are using the foreign expatriate as a yard stick.. can your Fellow Nigerians do the work they do without compromise?.. Some foreigners are intentionally placed in high positions to prevent nonsense like unions controlling them.. Union should come and control a private business?. Let the union build their own refinery and control it.. When have there been serious complaints from Dangote staffs that they are not paid for their work..if it is easy..let the staff resign and be jobless.. |

lwisee:No he shouldn't,no serious business man should have enemies working for him. Dangote holds the ace,they don't |

flokii:Dangote solved the problem Nigeria couldn't solve, billions of dollars was spent on TAMs that didn't materialize, and billions more was spent on importation of adulterated fuel,but an individual mobilized resources to give us what the government couldn't do for us,yet some people are hell bent on taking us back to the locust years. How do you people justify holding the country to ransom because 800 persons were sacked? |

Druss:How did you get that information? Do you even know the meaning of PENGASSON? You should research it first. Junior staff often join the NUPENG. Some people like you just talk without getting information yet you have Google at your reach but you would rather use your data to communicate unverified information. |

Druss:What's this one saying? If you don't know anything about the cadre of PENGASSAN membership...pls stay quiet and be assumed a wise person than open your mouth and clear all doubts. |
| Re: Dangote Refutes Claims Of Mass Sackings, Blames PENGASSAN For Crisis by Druss(m): 9:38am On Sep 29, 2025 |
Feelsgood:Management (senior) staff in oil and gas companies are not members of Pengassan. It is not so from my experience. Yes I know the name has senior staff in it. |
| Re: Dangote Refutes Claims Of Mass Sackings, Blames PENGASSAN For Crisis by Druss(m): 9:40am On Sep 29, 2025 |
Wallade:Read my response to the second. How do I know? From actually liaising with Pengassan members and senior staff of oil and gas companies. Feel free to call any name here of any Pengassan member who is a senior mgmt staff of any oil and gas company. The difference here may be what is being referred to as senior staff. Forget the meaning of the name. |
| Re: Dangote Refutes Claims Of Mass Sackings, Blames PENGASSAN For Crisis by Feelsgood: 9:50am On Sep 29, 2025 |
Druss:Chai! So you still just want to disgrace yourself here. I personally know a senior manager in ExxonMobil who was Pengassan member in Eket. Abeg no talk wetin you no know....it makes you sound foolish. ![]() |

Druss:Now, I doubt your statement, I think you are making up that story: "From actually liaising with Pengassan members and senior staff of oil and gas companies." Let me help you, since you either don't want to read or be reasonable. "PENGASSAN is the acronym for the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria, a trade union established in 1979 to advocate for and protect the welfare of upper and middle-level employees in Nigeria's petroleum and natural gas industry, while also promoting the national interest in the sector. " Why do you want us to forget the literal meaning? Is it because it is contrary to the misinformation that you are spreading. Can you see the statement in bold? Abi you can't see again? |

Druss:Which fake experience are you talking about? |
| Re: Dangote Refutes Claims Of Mass Sackings, Blames PENGASSAN For Crisis by Blackedu2000: 10:29am On Sep 29, 2025 |
@Dangote, should re advertise those openings for Nigerians who want to work to be engaged. Simple... |
| Re: Dangote Refutes Claims Of Mass Sackings, Blames PENGASSAN For Crisis by Druss(m): 10:44am On Sep 29, 2025 |
Feelsgood:Kindly check with him how senior he was. No senior management staff in an IOC to my knowledge is a Pengassan member. |
| Re: Dangote Refutes Claims Of Mass Sackings, Blames PENGASSAN For Crisis by Druss(m): 10:45am On Sep 29, 2025 |
Wallade:Ok. I will keep my experience and you keep your text. The literal meaning of Pengassan varies with the actuality on ground. |
| Re: Dangote Refutes Claims Of Mass Sackings, Blames PENGASSAN For Crisis by Feelsgood: 12:09pm On Sep 29, 2025 |
Druss:A senior management staff on Deepwater operations overseeing Usan FPSO and Erha FPSO. An Area Manager!! I know him personally...a Pengassan exco member...dude, say what you know. Haba! Do you have any idea of the work force under his authority? Usan FPSO alone is over 150 personnel both staff and contract staff... third-party contractors inclusive. The same can be said of Erha FPSO too...so we're talking about 300 personnel under him. I really don't know what you mean by "senior management staff" if this capacity is not... maybe you're not knowledgeable about Pengassan then. |
| Re: Dangote Refutes Claims Of Mass Sackings, Blames PENGASSAN For Crisis by Druss(m): 12:15pm On Sep 29, 2025 |
Feelsgood:Interesting. I will check via my links on his job level. This is Mobil. This is the first I am truly hearing of this. |
| Re: Dangote Refutes Claims Of Mass Sackings, Blames PENGASSAN For Crisis by Feelsgood: 12:20pm On Sep 29, 2025 |
Druss:I just don't want to mention names here... I'll just let you do your findings on that. |
| Re: Dangote Refutes Claims Of Mass Sackings, Blames PENGASSAN For Crisis by Druss(m): 1:19pm On Sep 29, 2025 |
Feelsgood:Checked with one set and looks like I owe you an apology. Indeed in Mobil some of their senior mgmt are union members. |

Feelsgood:Some of you like to argue blindly. Druss is right. Senior management staff of OCs, especially IOCs, do not join PENGASSAN. They are generally considered part of management, not the workforce that the union represents, and often have different terms and conditions of employment. While PENGASSAN focuses on the rights and welfare of the rank-and-file workers and junior to mid-level managers, senior management typically falls outside the scope of union membership due to their roles and responsibilities in decision-making and strategic operations. |
| Re: Dangote Refutes Claims Of Mass Sackings, Blames PENGASSAN For Crisis by Feelsgood: 2:23pm On Sep 29, 2025 |
RightToReject:I won't even waste my time arguing with you. Druss just confirmed what I said earlier...so...run along. Adios! |
| Re: Dangote Refutes Claims Of Mass Sackings, Blames PENGASSAN For Crisis by RightToReject(m): 2:27pm On Sep 29, 2025 |
Feelsgood:If wishes were horses beggars would ride. |
| Re: Dangote Refutes Claims Of Mass Sackings, Blames PENGASSAN For Crisis by Feelsgood: 2:32pm On Sep 29, 2025 |
Druss:I didn't know this man personally I won't even bother to argue this. |
| Re: Dangote Refutes Claims Of Mass Sackings, Blames PENGASSAN For Crisis by Feelsgood: 2:34pm On Sep 29, 2025 |
RightToReject:That one concern you...the person wey I talk to don confirm... you dey here dey blow grammar |
| Re: Dangote Refutes Claims Of Mass Sackings, Blames PENGASSAN For Crisis by RightToReject(m): 2:37pm On Sep 29, 2025 |
Feelsgood:My point is that you little people should stop misinforming the unsuspecting general public. Ignorance of the law excuses no one. |

RightToReject:Big person 😆 na always the ignorant ones dey try appear to be smart but always sound stupid when words start pouring out of their mouths. Abeg shift! |

the issues they complain of is important. how does he justify mass employment to Indians?? If your family member dey among the 800 people sacked, you go dey say another thing maiunguwar: |

[color=#000099][/color] adekolaelect:We only speak like this when we are not affected. Imagine if your brother or sister is among the 800 plus workers that were sacked by Dangote because they join PENGAAN. Freedom of association is still one of the fundamental human rights. You're not affected then they are wrong. |

We are honestly not serious as a nation. I remember a few years back when there was the discovery of slave labor in some Indian companies in Lagos. How workers are treated shabbily and some even die in the place of duty while being paid less than peanuts. I clearly remember how the news vilified that company back then and our fellow Nigerian citizens came up in arms, protested at the companies gate and so on and so forth. Now dangote is doing the same if not worse, but no pengassen are the bad people here abi? Go ask people who work for dangote what they are being paid and their conditions of service. Look what he has done and is doing to the cement industry in Nigeria, but no y'all are not seeing a pattern replay itself here. It's still the same you that will come complaining when the monopoly is in full swing and he increases the price of PMS arbitrary with all of us at his mercy. For heavens sake can you people reason with your heads? |

frog12:They complaint of no issue,they joined PENGASON to sabotage his business. Dangote is a private business,if anybody is not satisfied with his terms of employment the person can leave |
