I think Nigerians should rise up in protest against Dangote and his anti-Nigerian business practices.. if he feels Nigerians are not good enough to work in his refinery but Indians, then he should take his business to India and be serving only indians.
I don't expect PBAT to fold hands and allow Dangote sack only Nigerian workers (over 800) on Nigerian soil whereas no foreigner was sacked, instead he allegedly employed fresh 2000 Indians to work in his refinery.
That is bad now, Nigeria belongs to Nigerians not Indians.. will India Government watch such economic crime happen on their soil and not axe the useless businessman?

Omo Nigeria ewo l'ewo?.. na so we go fold hands allow one deranged businessman continue to toy with our future?

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:
Dangote should call back the 800 workers he sacked last week because they join Labour Union (PENGASAN).

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

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?

Oldebo:
Dangote wants to save the slave from its slave master, now he's paying the price of its generosity.

Some slaves even when rescued prefer slavery to freedom

Wrong information. Senior staff in oil and gas are not members of Pengassan. It is mostly junior staff and front line that are members. Carry on.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Druss:
Kindly confirm from Pengassan before coming to misyarn. Management (senior) staff in oil and gas companies are not members of Pengassan. It is clear to those who are in the know who is talking wrong information.

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.

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?

Which fake experience are you talking about?

@Dangote, should re advertise those openings for Nigerians who want to work to be engaged. Simple...

Kindly check with him how senior he was. No senior management staff in an IOC to my knowledge is a Pengassan member.

Ok. I will keep my experience and you keep your text. The literal meaning of Pengassan varies with the actuality on ground.

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.

Interesting. I will check via my links on his job level. This is Mobil. This is the first I am truly hearing of this.

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.

I won't even waste my time arguing with you. Druss just confirmed what I said earlier...so...run along. Adios!

how does he justify mass employment to Indians??
If your family member dey among the 800 people sacked, you go dey say another thing

Humm .... Dangote is not ready to negotiate with the bully of These Terror PENGASAN and PENGASAN are not ready to sell their Storages facilities as scrab like it happened when importations of cement stoped in Nigeria then. But later later who has the product will win these case(The Dangote ) PENGASAN should produce instead of becoming agent of Destructions to those that produce .

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?

Softmirror:
Sincerely speaking. It wont be a bad idea if we experience fuel scarcity with cut throat price for like 2 weeks to about a month especially now that we have entered the -ember months. Hopefully, some people will appreciate the SANITY the government has been trying so hard to maintain in the oil sector.

Nigerians no Kumar get money to buy the fuel.
if they manage by 4 liter they are ok

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
