Ukraine-Russia crisis
‘A joke’: Germany mocked over plan to send helmets to Ukraine
Ukrainian officials and Germans bemoan Berlin’s offer to Kyiv in its moment of crisis, saying weapons are needed rather than protective gear.

Germany, which has refused to provide weapons to Ukraine in the face of a possible Russian invasion, offered on Wednesday to send 5,000 helmets instead, a move slammed as an “absolute joke” by the mayor of Kyiv.

German Justice Minister Christine Lambrecht said the planned delivery would send a “very clear signal” that Germany stands by Ukraine amid rising tensions with Russia.

But Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said the helmet offer had left him “speechless”.

He accused Germany of failing to understand “that we are dealing with a highly equipped Russian army that could start further invading Ukraine at any moment”.

“Five thousand helmets are an absolute joke,” he told the Bild daily. “What will Germany send next? Pillows?”

The move was also slammed in Germany, with a meme circulating on social media using an image from a 2019 campaign encouraging young people to wear cycling helmets, with the slogan: “Looks like s**t. But saves my life.”

With tens of thousands of Russian troops gathered on the Ukrainian border, fears are mounting that a major conflict could break out in Europe.

Ukraine’s calls to Western allies to bolster its defence capabilities have seen the United States, the United Kingdom and Baltic states agree to send to Kyiv weapons, including anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles.

But Germany has refused to supply Ukraine with weapons, claiming this would further inflame the conflict.

Defence Minister Lambrecht said earlier this week that Germany would deliver a field hospital to Ukraine, and that Berlin has already provided respirators.

But Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has condemned Germany for its refusal to supply armaments to Kyiv, urging Berlin to stop “undermining unity” and “encouraging Vladimir Putin”.

There was a time OBJ was considering an end to "state of origin" !

No one is saying that Nigerians can't work anywhere what we are strongly against as Nigerians is nepotism!

Before now, Igbos, Hausas and yorubas live amongst themselves!

They quarrel, they fight, yes! But they settle amicably and move on!

So the problem is still the government in power!

Your body language dictates the flo of your administration!

Let's be real with ourselves, Buhari had no peace! He has no love! How can he give what he does not have

Yaradua, Jonathan now made me realize that you don't have to be in military to be a good leader!

Na propaganda finish Jonathan tenure!

KADUNA UPDATE: KDSG approves end of year bonus for civil servants

The Governor of Kaduna State, Malam Nasir El-Rufai, has approved the payment of end of year bonus to civil servants in the state.

Civil servants will this month receive bonuses ranging from 100% of monthly pay for junior civil servants to 30% for senior civil servants.

A statement from Sir Kashim Ibrahim House explained that the end of year bonus is part of the state government’s efforts to boost morale and enhance the welfare of civil servants.

Under the scheme, workers from Grade Levels 1-7 will be paid 100% of their monthly salary as bonus. Middle level civil servants from Grade Level 8-13 will get 40%, while senior officers on Grade Level 14 and above will receive 30% of their monthly earning.

The 2021 end of year bonus will cost the state N1.382bn.

In September 2019, the Kaduna State Government became the first government, national or subnational, to pay the new national minimum wage. The state also increased the minimum pension to N30,000 monthly for retirees on the old defined benefit scheme. Kaduna State began implementing a new contributory pension scheme in January 2017.
