@bolded, people often accuse others what they're guilty of.

You can check the approved or non approved schools for yourself. And don't even try moving the goal post

Tell us the schools approved in the East and schools denied approval. Is it that difficult?

Joyful365:
Have you ever worked in any big Nigerian company? If you have then you will not be selling this sort of false hope that workers there will start to feel no need to complain.

Go out and find out from Nigerians working in Banks and other big FMCG companies. Despite these companies increasing the price of their products and services due to inflation and devaluation and raking in billions in profits, they have refused to increase the wages and salaries of their workers, majority of whom they place under contractors so they can avoid paying good wages, compensation and benefits.

These workers cannot cry out because there's high unemployment and they can't join unions or they'll be sacked. So, many just manage the job and then use loans and other unethical means to augment their wages. Think of the policeman who extorts and collects bribe on the road. Think of First Registrars who don't have a functional phone number. I'm sure they're trying to cut cost and they've fired the customer service personnel who should handle such tasks. Think of the electricity worker who will collect bribe and help you bypass meters. All of this problem stems from being poorly paid and compemsated for whatever job you do.

And the result on the overall economy is obvious. People with low purchasing power cannot patronise business at a scale that causes mass growth and development. Nigeria's textile industry has gone comatose because people can't afford to buy new clothes, not necessarily because they're expensive, but because their purchasing power is low relative to price of the clothes, despite the fact that they're working, sometimes 60-80 hours every week.

It's only the oil sector workers that have been a bit insulated from this exploitative habit of Nigerian companies underpaying workers, using them as contract staff and preventing them from joining unions.

Check Total, Chevron, Aradel and the likes. Majority of their employees are doing well. Even an Aradel security employee was buying stocks of the company not too long ago.

Check AEDC, UBA, First Bank, Coca Cola, Dangote Cement and other big non oil companies. Majority of their workers are living from hand to mouth. Many of their workers are chronic debtors to loan apps and many others now place their hope on Bet9ja and Baba Ijebu. These are people who are genuinely working and truly deserve a good life. But they can't because the companies they work in want them to remain poor and controllable.

Those who cannot stomach such conditions jejely arm up and take to real crime. That is why you're seeing an increasing trend in insecurity across Nigeria. Poverty and crime are always positively correlated and the foundation of such poverty is traceable to the situation Dangote is trying to achieve by preventing workers from unionising so that he can later turn them into contract staffs, keep their salaries stationary for years and easily stackable.

No society progresses under such conditions. If Dangote gets his way, other companies will copy him and that will be the end of the Nigerian labour force.

No Nigerian who is patriotic and understand the big picture and interconnectedness of all the situations I have described and more will support what Dangote is doing. Nigeria and the interest of all Nigerians should always be paramount.

The Indians he'll hire to replace those workers will be paid at least $1500 per month. But he'll be happy to pay Nigerians $300 and claim that they're earning well. It just shows you how much he values Nigerians.

You will do well to go back for an English class to learn the meaning of the following:

1.What Majority is or means.
2. What living from hand to mouth is.
3. Who and who are qualified as staff in some organisations.
4. Perhaps, the salary structure of banks like First Bank and UBA.


May be after then...........

Bluntemperor:
True talk!
We the Southerners-are too noisy partly because we don know how to speak small grammar,so we just love to blow grammar,here on the Nairaland Forum and Other Social Media platforms.
The Northerners know the game plans well.

True talk from you too.

The same reason the Northern youths will flood. the election centers very early on election days while their Southern counterparts will convert the roads to football field without bothering to vote and d cry later on the social media.

I am waiting for the day any ignorant fool will blame this Nelfund issue on the fact that the body is headed by a Northerner.

Free. money now to relieve your parents, they refuse to collect.

CorrectionFLuid:
No be if Dem approve your school you go apply? How many eastern schools were approved in the whole region?

Who or. what body is approving the schools?

Which schools have been approved in the East and which have not been. approved?

Na so una go siddon for. one dingy room with free opera data dey chuck mouth for wetin una no Sabi?

Stop spreading your ignorance

awesomeJ:
You sound like they have shown you shege 😁😁😁

I have known First Registrars with non functional phone numbers before the turn of the last century.

Sensiblerealist:
In as much as there is freedom of speech,I think calling the president a criminal without documented evidence of conviction is steep.
Let's see how this pan out though

He may scale through without too much wahala but if he tries that will a private citizen like Otedola or Ovia, he go chop beans Wella.

essentialone:
Please who has a functioning phone number of First Registrars?

I will neither deceive nor discourage you but I hasten to inform you albeit with a heavy heart that you CAN NEVER get a functional phone number of First Registrar.

The same FIRST Registrar that is no longer the registrar for FBNH abi another one?

A search for a number to heaven may likely yield a more fruitful result.

Best of luck!

And, if something untoward had happened, fools like her would have claimed Nigeria happened to her.

Common sense is indeed scarce.

And, he must have been ignoring the calls of some of his cousins.

Generation of vipers.

JAWBONE:
I hope this is AI, because this is an embarrassment not only to NED NWOKO but the people of Delta-North.

Ned should realise what he represents and conduct himself properly

Which kain yeye embarrassment?

Na today.?

There was a time it was a Delta South senator that was constituting nuisance having an all white party on the high sea with scarcely dressed young girls.

Heaven did not fall then. It will not fall now.

Let us wait for Delta central.

We4all:
Waking up everyday to the sight of Ned starring into her eyes must be traumatic for her. She needs to be active on social media in order to decieve gullible Nigerians that she is a happily married woman.

Totally agree with your second paragraph.
Someone nealy died on Nairaland not long ago trying to prove that Regina " is happily married".

The fart of a masquerade will surely be enjoyed by the masquerade alone........ African proverb.

Nadingo:
Lol...It's a photo skit. Mai Wushirya is a popular notorious northern content creator who is always having trouble with Hisba in Kano. In fact, as I'm typing this, he has been declared wanted by Kano Hisba because of how he manhandled this lady during this photo skit

Thank you for this timely clarification.

At least, online bingos that derive joy in seeing nothing good about other tribes except theirs will shut their satanic traps.

With Gordon in the. Newcastle. team, Arsenal will lose.

At least the British press will allow Amorim rest small.

You cannot play 10 V 11 with a team like Brighton and not suffer

Those mid table teams for EPL don dey Colo these days.

Reason being that currency has an appointment with the state givernment aa a cultural something something.

No need condemning him.

The occasion was simply bigger than him.

Judolisco:
I'm asking them why private universities don't have union... Dem say make i keep quiet say petroleum industry different from educational sector.... Haaa Nigerians ehn

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.

callmeDDD:
Damage control. Insecurity at his peak.

Damage control for a totally damaged brand.

Thank God there is no age restriction to content creation.

Antoeni:
What is This Alhaji Aliko Dangote Feeling Like Self ?

Go build a refinery and you will feel the way he feels.

Very simple

Was joining a union on your mind when you signed " original copy received by me" after several years of joblessness?

He who pays the piper dictates the tune

Flier:
He has always been in the queue even before becoming a Governor.
The system of choosing the king need to change to accommodate youth,for now it’s a big mess

He joined the queue as a youth.

Kola Daisi has gone far on the queue. He joined the line as a youth and is still a youth.

Always get your facts right.

Osifo is only interested in the union dues to be collected from members of unions in the industry.

He is not concerned about workers going to work for years and being paid for doing nothing.

He is not bothered about workers doing nothing and receiving " long service awards".

Greedy lots.

I made a comment and it was yanked off.

Whoever is responsible for the yanking off should be ashamed of themselves.

I dare you to post that particular comment of mine.

Una she wants to turn Nairaland to something else.

yewit37486:
The initial comment was about towing/toeing the fast lane, not about a vehicle being rescued, so chicfarmer is right that it is toeing (the fast lane).

I. have re- checked and has apologized to him.

Referring people to Google for simple usage of an English word is however a No No.

Cheers.

chicfarmer:
Use Google na oga. No let pride later humble you。

I have re- checked the context of the usage. You were right.

My apologies.

However, be sure of your usage of English and learn not to refer people to Google.
