You can only successfully fool yourself but you can't fool my fellow Nigerians;

Thursday, December 25, 2014

Akwa Ibom State chapter of the
Nigerian Union of Local Government
Employees (NULGE) on Monday
began a seven-day warning strike to
protest alleged government failure to
attend to its demands which bothers on
entitlements owed members.

The decision to begin the strike, the
union said, was to draw the attention of
the state government to its members’
demands.

In an interaction with newsmen in Uyo,
the state capital, NULGE Chairman,
Felix Udoh, said the union demands
which government had refused to settle
include leave grant, non-payment of
promotion arrears, failure to promote
staff due for promotion as well as
wanton deduction of their salaries.

According to the union leader, all
efforts to draw the attention of
government to settle the issues
amicably through dialogue have failed
and that the union has no other option
than to embark on the seven-day
warning strike.

He said at the end of the warning
strike, if government still fails to heed
to their demands, the union will have
no other option than to embark on an
indefinite strike.

Udoh, therefore, directed all NULGE
members to stay at home and observe
the seven days warning strike.
Daily Independent gathered that some
local government areas in the state are
owing their workers more than three
months salaries arrears.

This was said to have pitched the local
government chairmen against the state
government, as they blamed it on
illegal deduction of revenue allocated
to the local governments in the name
of joint account.

Meanwhile, the union leader has hailed
the recent judgment by the Supreme
Court that state Governors do not have
the right to sack elected local
government officials.

He said the judgment if fully obeyed
will strengthen local government
administration in the country.
He stressed the need for the Federal
Government to grant autonomy to the
local government, saying it will go a
long way to check the illegalities
perpetrated by some state Governors
through deduction of revenue allocated
to local governments.

We will continue to go round in circles in this country until we decide, if possible, forcing ourselves to do the right thing!

The question is, what is the right thing?

With this present structure Jonathan and Buhari can't do natin, both groups will continue to pillage the country if/when they get into power.

The right thing (which might not exactly be perfect but will easily get this country to reach its potential faster than what we have now) is to decentralize the govt and go back to regional govt.

The South South will be rich with the oil and can work on Tourism as their Comparative advantage for economic groth.

South East are predominantly commercial people and will exploit that to the fullest.

South west are service providers and enterpreneurs.

The North central are known for having good agricultural base.

North west and East can also start commercial exploitation of mineral resources and use their wide expanse of land for agric.

These exploits are not exclusive to d region I put them.

Because the Money mainly comes from oil in the ND it is believed that if we agree to this that the ND will be stupendously rich while almost all other regions will suffer and so there would be serious resistance to this, but it does not have to be so cause south south cannot drink the oil, they would need to trade with other parts and that's what will keep us one.

Once we do this, things like ministry of power, education, health, works, agric etc will be the policy that each region wants to follow.


There would be a national Assembly with reps from the regions and they would be maintained by their regions.


These are a few of the suggestions I feel will make us even stay closer as Nigeria!

You know nothing about this topic bro;

Okorocha on May 1, 2013, was commended for labour friendly policies, which they crowned with Labour 2013 Award of Excellence by the Imo workers through the Chairman of Nigeria Labour Congress, Imo State Chapter, Chief Dr. R.A. Anyadike for having performed more excellently above his predecessors.

http://pointblanknews.com/pbn/news/governor-okorocha-receives-2013-labour-award/

And he is only owing November Salary which he promised to pay before xmas but I'm yet to hear any official news about the payment but its still preferable than some governor owing up to 12months salary and still donating over 50million naira to GEJ

So, Akpabio too hasn't paid? Truly, PDP is a curse.

Akwa Ibom State has a population of about 5 Million people and receives about 30Billion Naira monthly from the FG, yet he cant pay workers their salaries for several months.

Faahola gets roughly the same thing as Akwa Ibom in revenues and paid its workers 13th month salary. Meanwhile, Alimosho LG in Lagos state has a population of 9Million inhabitants (more than the entire Akwa Ibom state).

Akwa Ibomites, help is on the way.

2011 Elections, Buhari got 148 votes from Akwa Ibom State against GEJ's one point something million votes. These time around, the highest Buhari can get is 30 votes.
Akwa Ibom will never vote for Buhari.

Of cause election is around the corner so monies are being diverted for election, while workers and contractors suffer. This is really very unfair.

Re: This Is Unfair, 22 State Governors Owing Workers Salaries. by plendil: 9:26pm On Dec 25, 2014
This is just the beginning. With the decrease in oil proceeds, allocation to states will surely fall next year, leading to more of these news (since most states are literally 100% dependent on allocation for salary payment.

we have an over bloated, inefficient, unnecessary and unsustainable workforce. That is the root of the matter. Turing it to an APC vs PDP will not help matters.

Actually this would become the bane of a united Nigeria. This owing to the fact that even within regions even tribes, we still have classism. In a country like Nigeria discrimination still has its occurence within tribes. Say yoruba's for example we have the (ondo's, Ijebu's, Egba's e.t.c) and each group still holds doctrines the other group opposses. Still, such groups are thus composed of smaller groups, but there is as much difference between even the small groups; as Chief Obafemi Awolowo put it, as much "as there is between Germans, English, Russians and Turks".
The whole idea of regionalism would actually create much more disorder and conflict than already is. Forget not it was the bane that caused our Nation's known civil war

My only question and possible anger would be HAVE the militants been paid cos they never owe those never do wells cos of thier violent nature, but respectable and law abiding family people are tge people dat deserve to suffer just because dey chose to keep the law and work for the government tgat rewards evil and castigates good. That is the government we find ourselves in today. That is the state of Nigeria and that is the situation cos we decided to overide our future and vote for sentiment and not credibility. We have another chance in February make it count cos we cant continue like this. Only a sentimental hypocrite will say otherwise. And just so we know there is nothing merry about this Christmas for those poor families. It is well.
