Following the mind-boggling revelations coming out of the ongoing civil service audit and the uncompromising determination by the administration of Governor Yahaya Bello to rid the state of corruption, the Kogi State government has announced the creation of a fund to purchase the world’s first transparent and anti-corruption car for His Excellency’s convoy.

According to a press release signed by the Chief Press Secretary to the Kogi Governor, Kingsley Fanwo, the government is doing this to promote its mantra of transparency and to offer all Kogites the opportunity to contribute to kicking corruption out of the state .Kogi to Purchase $8m transparent car to fight corruption

Quote
“Governor Bello is has always said that he would never touch a single kobo of State funds for personal use,” the statement read. “To show how serious he is with this stance, he has decided to convert his car to a transparent and bulletproof one that will always show him to the people wherever he goes. This, we believe will make him more accessible and position Kogi State as the most supportive of President Muhammadu Buhari’s anti-corruption fight.

“This automobile will cost about eight million dollars ($8, 000, 000), including shipping and delivery. We are hopeful that the car can be delivered in 4 months and to that end, we are soliciting for donations from the good people of Kogi State to make this happen. We hope to be the first African nation to own such a magnificent machine.”

An Italian workshop supervisor has provoked anger at a company in a Free Zone Enclave in the Western Region after chaining one of his subordinates to a container in the hot sun as punishment for failing to complete a task assigned him.

The alleged culprit, identified as Manilo Maggiorotto, did the unthinkable with the reason that whenever he assigned work to the victim, he abandoned his and found ways of helping others to do their work.

Therefore, the best way to prevent a recurrence was to chain him. Seething with anger, employees of the multinational logistics company, Gateway Logistics Limited, operating as a Free Zone Company, have appealed to the Ministry of Employment and Labour Relations, the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection and the Ghana Trades Union Congress (TUC) to ensure that justice was done the victim.


Alleged culprit

They described what Maggiorotto did as a re-enactment of the days of slavery – a dehumanising act which, they said, sent shivers down their spine. “He must be apprehended to face the laws of Ghana,” they said.

“This is a Free Zone Company. He is in Ghana as workshop supervisor, an expertise that could easily be procured in Ghana but they brought him here and he constantly looks down on us and treats us as if we are nothing,” they said.

When they were contacted the company, its management acknowledged the incident but declined to comment further as they were dealing with the issue.

How it happened

Describing the incident to the Daily Graphic, one of the workers said their supervisor, on the day of the incident, assigned two of the company’s workers to carry out a task and later reassigned one of them to a different task.

To work as a team, the victim, whose name was given as Ibrahim Sanou, decided to help another employee so they could finish on time.

The source said when the Italian supervisor entered the yard, he realised that Sanou was not doing what he had asked him to do.

“He, therefore, called him, verbally assaulted him and asked him to go and bring the chain from the container. When Sanou returned, Maggiorotto put it around Sanou’s neck and locked it with a huge padlock.



After that he dragged Sanou more than 100 metres to where he originally assigned him.” “The sad part is that he hooked the end of the chain to a container in the sun and went back to his air-conditioned office, ” the source said.

The source said after Sanou had finished the work, the Italian asked one of the workers to go and unlock the chain so that the victim would go and carry out other tasks.

Workers

According to the workers, morale was currently down in the company and the victim, once jovial and energetic, was constantly depressed.

The workers were seeking justice and urged management of the company to ensure Maggiorotto left the workshop for his own safety. That aside, he should apologise to the victim and appropriately compensate him.

When the Daily Graphic visited the company, the workers expressed the view that management was trying to influence the victim financially to say he was not interested in the case.

Dehumanising

At the office of the General Transport, Petroleum and Chemical Workers Union (GTPCWU) of the TUC, the Regional Industrial Relations Officer, Mr Hanson Richard, said the issue had been reported to the union.

“We are aware management is talking to the victim to withdraw the case, but this is a national issue and it is wrong to dehumanise a national to that extent,” he said. Mr. Richard said the union had explained the implications of any inducement to suppress the case and that the national union would take over the case.

“I will pursue the case to ensure that Sanou received justice after which they would demand the repatriation of Maggiorotto to serve as deterrent to others,” he said.

He said several meetings with the management of the company indicated that they were also taking up the issue and the GTPCWU would ensure the law was duly applied.

He recalled a recent case in Accra where a supervisor was reported to have slapped a worker with hot pizza and the locking of workers out without prior notice at various yards in Takoradi.

He urged expatriate workers to learn how to relate to their colleagues.

Company’s reaction

After several attempts to elicit the reaction of the company, the Managing Director, Mr William Moss, agreed to grant an interview March 23, 2016.

However, about 2:30 p.m, Mr Moss called to say he could no longer grant the interview without consulting the local union. He expressed wonder as to what interest the newspaper had in the matter and ended the call.

Memo to workers

However, the Daily Graphic later intercepted a March 21 memo from the Managing Director notifying the employees that Mr Maggiorotto had relinquished his post and returned to Italy with his wife. “I would like to thank Manlio for all his efforts over the past years in the face of considerable difficulties.

He brought new levels of engineering experience and competence to the maintenance function and it was through his dynamism that the workshop at Bokro was created,” it said, adding that “He will be greatly missed”.

As I have always written the problem with the black race is beyond leadership, but rather it is a problem of the culture and ideals of the people, an average black man wants to look beyond himself as the problem , even though he happens to be a director at the board, collecting 30% before contracts are awarded..... Anyway that isba discussion for another day...


So this happened at igwuruta, a border settlement of port Harcourt in Rivers state....
They happened to be observing a funeral, and left the whole area that should be used.... Now the place they saw fit was the main road, a whole lane was barricaded and they allowed only one lane of a dualised road for commuters...... This caused untold hardship for motorist and other individuals as seen in the pics below.... Should you know, that road is the only road into a part of that town..... And to think we had the police? Even the police vans struggled to pass through the lane that was left....

I wonder where, and how this can be tolerated in a sane clime, becausr of the dead that is supposed to be laid to rest, life is made unbearable for the living...... I just had to take some pics for the world to see...

is a normal thing in ikwerre land. bt is wrong cos is a federal governmnt road

So my fellow Nairalanders, You were walking home around 10pm through a lonely street in your neighbourhood and you walked into this.
First of all, you tried to recover from the shock before looking around but there was not a single soul in sight. What would you do?
1- run with the money
2- take her to the hospital and hide the money somewhere
3- take her to the hospital and return the Money to the police
4- ignore both the girl and the money and run away
Be sincere please.

Criminal gangs nicknamed "albino hunters" and armed with machetes, knives and axes are striking fear into people living with albinism in Malawi, abducting and often killing their victims in broad daylight and in the dead of night, prompting police to announce a shoot-to-kill policy. The latest victim of the brutal attacks is a nine-year old boy with albinism from Malawi's eastern district of Machinga. His mother Edna Cedrick tried to rescue her son Brian when two attackers abducted him early in March 2016. A police officer from Machinga district, Isaac Ndala, confirmed the abduction, adding that the kidnappers injured the boy's mother. The abduction happened while her husband was away on a fishing errand at the nearby Lake Chilwa.

According to South Malawi News, the mutilated body of the boy has been found. His head and other parts of his body were cut off (pictured). Police have arrested a 22-year-old man for taking part in the gruesome murder. The audacious kidnapping is not an isolated case, as abductions, attempted killings and brutal murders have prompted some police authorities to brand albinos an "endangered species" in Malawi. According to the police, by now about 50 criminal offences have been committed against albinos and the number might even be higher than as some incidents may not have been reported to police.
The latest statistics we have are of last year, 2015," Malawi police spokesperson Nicholas Gondwa told News24. "Over 30 criminal cases were reported that included killings, abductions, and being found with bones of persons with albinism. Just imagine, there are even some daredevils who go to cemeteries to dig graves where people with albinism were buried. All that is done in the name of hunting for the body parts or bones of albinos," he said.

A FlyDubai Boeing 737-800 has crashed in a fireball while it attempted to land at a Russian airport killing everyone aboard. Flight FZ981 was carrying 55 passengers and seven crew members from Dubai when it crashed at Rostov-on-Don airport, according to a statement released by FlyDubai. Earlier reports said that 61 people were aboard the flight. Russia's Emergencies Ministry said in a statement: 'The plane made a second round coming in to land because of bad weather conditions. 'At landing the tail touched the runway, began to break down and burst into flames. At present, no combustion.'

Emergencies Minister Vladimir Puchkov told media during a press conference that it was scheduled to land at 6.20pm ET, which is 1.20am Moscow time, but crashed at 8.50p

Someone sent this to me and I just had to share with you guys because it's funny as heck, please read below:

Dear Nairalanders,

My husband's niece from the village came to stay with us because I recently put to bed and needed help with the house work. The girl is lovely and funny. She was nice so I bought her some nice clothes and made her hair. The real drama began last weekend when I bought her a tecno camera phone and ever since she has been taking photos anywhere. You need to see the excitement that ordinary phone and few new cloths gave to her. So yesterday, we were headed to my shop and we had to cross the railway. She has never seen one in her life and she was ecstatic. she pleaded that I snap her so she can show her friends in the village that she is now a city girl. I wanted to explain it was unnecessary but she insisted. I have been looking at the photos and can stop laughing. It's amazing how small things we have no value for some can mean so much to some other people. I have promised her that she won't go back to the village anymore. I will register her for WAEC and hopefully she will go to a higher institution.
