Let those advising Buhari keep deceiving him but he should bear in mind that this divide and rule he is perpetrating on organised labour will certainly come back and hunt/bite his government.

As for the horde of undesirable elements supporting the impoverishment of the hapless masses, I have nothing to say to you other than that you should be mindful that sowers of the wind should expect the whirlwind.

This was how Nigerians were heaping senseless adulation on Jonathan so much so that he got carried away.

Today everybody is holding the past administration culpable even when a people deserve the kind of government they get.

With some of the things I am reading about this strike, I daresay that Nigerians should rank as one of the dumbest people on the face of the planet.

How does one categorise people who are displaying an unconscionable incapability to learn from recent history?

Anticorruption:
very effective in Uyo, UNIUYO was shut down , no lectures, and no work yesterday



upon all the APC propaganda online to make it seem like a failure its actually working

This is the most laughable strike i've seen my whole life, was this how NLC embarked on strike during Adams oshiomole's era?? Or the 2012 strike??

If it was APC that caused this confusion on strike then they must be very powerful to disorganise 'strikers' something that has never been done in Nigeria, Obasanjo couldn't even disorganise NLC

Funny strike I must say (I just left the bank now and I'm heading to a friend's school, everything is fully functioning) lol ;

massinola:
here in minna, niger state it is effective. FUT minna was shut down since yesterday. no academic activities as ssanu and ASUU have joined d strike. its better for federal government to persuade them to go back to the negotiation table and stop acting bossy before it's too late. no body has ever used gra gra to suppress NLC. u can ask abacha in his grave or obasanjo, Buhari can never be an exception.

In Enugu which is a PDP state corps members are seen teaching in their various PPA (govt schools), offices are opened, even motor licensing offices is running as I'm speaking to you not even one protest has gone in this state, so I ask WHERE IS THE STRIKE?

You are not being honest. Am in Uyo banks works and commercial activities going on normal. No effects felt even civil servants are at work I don't know which part of Uyo you are reporting from.

GWMI:
This is true the Govt primary schools in my area here in Delta State just came home that there is no school what about the hypocrites did it affect your area too?Maybe in the end, Ayuba will be vidicated.LET THE PROTEST AND STRIKE CONTINUE.Thanks.

yea! sure, no govt sch wil open, teachers are the main body of NLC,

Bethelwealthy:
i think you should say Nigerians are dumber now. What wisdom is in the fact that the govt never consulted anyone, not even all its own minister and the labour and the other stakeholders b4 increasing poverty level in the country. Unions are divided, Yes! but the suffering of Nigerians presently is across board. Do you see this govt like one who respect you? If labour is ridiculed like you presently do, is it the selfish and incompetent NASS that 'll fight for you? watch and see, if you guys destroy the will of Labour Unions, you're opened up for all Destructive policies of this govt. Mark my words.

I agree with you. Though I supported PMB. I still think it is an abuse of the right of Nigerians not to allow them express themselves.

People should wake up. The fuel hike affects us all and we must speak with one voice.

Heard the peaceful protests were in Ikwerre road, offices are still working normally as the affiliate unions are confused.

The SS/SE don't usually support strikes. Only lagos as hotbed of opposition dey carry strike for head. Now they are in govt at the center music don change. Subsidy must go buhari is a fraud!

Ministry of Labour should look into this issue:

Recently, Genesis Group Nigeria, the company that owns the Genesis Restaurant and Deluxe Cinemas chain cut workers’ salaries by various percentages, with some workers even getting a 50% pay cut and some getting sacked for no reason but “the situation of the economy”.

Yes, we all know the economy is bad but as insiders, we know how much the company makes monthly and how much of our blood and sweat is put into making those billions for them.

Sometimes we are slaved tirelessly, even till late hours without getting paid overtime (company policy) all in the name of meeting “a quota”. Note: The economy doesn’t affect the company, they increased prices of their food et al to match the situation, yet they’re cutting salaries. Even if they didn’t increase prices, they would still be making profits of over 70% on most items.

Drivers and Kitchen Staff that previously earned a meagre N30,000 now earn between N15000 – N20000 and most of them can barely afford to feed their families, not to even talk about fees, rent and other bills.

A widow who works as a staff here said one of her 2 children has to stay at home next term because she can’t afford his school fees and she’s hardly employable anywhere else. The rate at which people are being laid off is unfair & inhumane not to talk about the way staff are treated.

I’ve worked in this company for years and each day I pray to God that I find a better job at a company that values its workers. Honestly, over 95% of staff here are only here because they haven’t gotten anything better and would gladly leave at the slightest opportunity.

The company owns several restaurants but can’t feed its workers properly, the food we are given is what prisoners would reject, most times its half-cooked, excessively salty, no maggi and the worst of all, no meat and they can’t even provide water for us to drink.

I am pained, I am angry, how do I explain to my children that they can no longer have 3 square meals because “my oga at the top” is a heartless and inconsiderate man who only cares about how much he makes while neglecting the large number of families he’s destroying.

If you go to any Genesis Fast food, you’d never know of our plight because the staff are forced to put on fake smiles and pretend to customers, while suffering inside. There’s no point for people to patronize Genesis anymore when despite all the money you spend, it’s all going to the pocket of one person while we the “money generators” are treated like slaves.

We have nobody to fight for us. Anybody that opposes, gets fired instantly and their terminal benefits forfeited. We know that even if the economy gets better tomorrow, our salaries will not be restored because we work for greedy sets of human beings.

We live in a country where employers get away with all sorts of things because the system doesn’t work. A company where your boss can walk in and slap you for no reason or maybe because someone annoyed him at home, is that one company?

To all of you bringing your CVs, we here are struggling to leave. God help us all. Shalom.
