He is doing what GEJ did with Abati and Okupe.

Ngelale is his Abati, whilst Onanuga is his attack dog.

Tinubu doesn't care a rap if you're killed. For you fools whom he pays a miserly #30k to defend him, try get some common sense. Has anyone here ever heard Tinubu talk about insecurity or show any sign of pain about insecurity since he came on board? Nothing. I never knew Nigeria will ever get a president whom the clannish, calamitous Buhari is better than. Unbelievably sad.

KEVIND:
Labour should manage the one they see. I appreciate Tinubu for even taking it from 30K to 60K. If its Buhari govt he won't add more than 10K to the 30K. If you talk Buhari will creat a parallel labour union to weaken the body.

people like you are one of the problems we have in this country and God will seize y’all breath one by one! Stupid fool!

Exactly no matter the outcome is a loss for her, she has lost a baby, she's now remanded in prison till 31st when her Vail application will be heard and after the bail conditions might make her stay inside prison for days, her mental health has been affected, the family also will be put into emotional stress, I don't even want to talk about funding. I am sure this is not what she bargained for when she made the statement. The "wise" thing to do since agreement was made in front of IG suppose tell the lady of she doesn't have "an influential backbone" she should have tow the line of peaceful resolution than all the strong head.

Yes, she has lost a lot as you pointed out,but what of Erisco himself and his company, how much have they lost. Can you quantify the loss in monetary terms. Even Erisco, his staff and family would suffer some psychological stress as a result of dragging by the public. The longer this case persists the worse for the image of his company and thus his sales. Remember he invested billions in the tomato product, which he is yet to recoup.

I went to the market to get some soup ingredients, on getting to my customer, an elderly woman who sells ewedu, was still sorting the vegetables when I got there. I couldn't wait, so I paid for 2 (200) and told her I will be back to collect it. She usually helps me to pluck the ewedu and I pay her 100 for that, sometimes, I give her more, if I have change.

After buying all I wanted from the market, I left, totally forgetting my ewedu with mama.

On getting home, and removing things from the bag, I remembered.

I looked at the time, too tired to go back, I asked someone outside the shop to help me call anyone she sees hawking ewedu.

Much later, someone knocked at the gate. I went to open it. They were two little children, not more than 12yrs of age.

The one selling ewedu looked thin and tired. I asked him, if he was okay, he nodded.

I finished buying the ewedu, Paid him and about to go inside. My mind nudged me to ask again. And the other boy answered for him.

"talk na" He said in Yoruba. "He is hungry ma."

Past 2pm.

"You haven't had lunch?" I asked.

"No ma, he hasn't eaten today." The second boy replied in Yoruba.

Meaning he hasn't even had breakfast, not to talk of lunch.

They weren't even in school to begin with.

Hmm.

I asked him if he would like to take bread and mayonnaise, cos that's what I had. There was stew, but boiling rice will take their time, I thought.

He didn't reply. He just stood, looking at his feet and avoiding my eyes. The second boy answered, "yes, he will eat."

I went inside and brought some bread spread with mayonnaise for him and his friend. They sat outside the gate and ate. I didn't want to bring them inside, don't know if they will follow me inside. As they ate, I went to the shop close by and collected 2 cold Fanta and gave them. Told the woman I will bring money later.

As they ate, the other one told him, "see what you would have missed. You are too quiet."

Then the boy replied, "but I will eat when I get home."

His friend replied "You ate eba with water last night, how are you sure you won't do same again today. "that sounded like a jab.

"Toheeb, stop." He muttered.

"You ate eba with water? How? I asked

"There was no soup, mamah said pepper is expensive in the market but maybe she will buy today. "

My heart tightened. I tried to inhale and exhale to calm my heart.

I went inside, took some money and squeezed it into his hand and told him to give it to mamah to make soup.

Immediately, he prostrated, thanking me, with his friend. I asked them to go.

As they went, he friend kept giving him a friendly jab, "you see why it is good to talk. But looks like this mummy is angel o. Do you think she is Yoruba? She didn't speak Yoruba with us." He kept chatting away as they walked some distance from me.

All the while, Ola, never said a world.

He must have seen enough life in his little years on earth, to make him take solace in his thoughts.

To reply to Tech Nation, Graduate visa and the engineers you talk about.

I know a few rising tech stars from Naija wey don japa come dey live slightly quieter here.

Many graduates MSc. and PhD that won't be employed in professional roles because of the graduate visa.

Engineers, even person wey been dey work with shell for Naija dey manage warehouse work for here now. Omo, from my small experience here so far, so much more can be gotten from talented immigrants if anyone is willing to take a chance on them.

There are unemployed and under-employed indigenous brits as well, many of them also qualified in various industries and having a range of skills.

The fact that some people don't get ideal opportunities is unfortunate but that doesn't negate Reesheesuknack's point that there are myriad ways that the government has created to enable immigrants work and earn very well in the country, as well as benefiting the country too obviously.

Another one is the recent flexibility they introduced on the skilled worker visa, which some people would like to downplay because it doesn't fit their negative narrative.

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I WILL SEE ATIKU talk LIKE AN ELDER STATEMAN AND NOT AN OPPOSITION LEADER!

Insulting the President will not solve the issue. If Peter Obi was elected there will still not be any increment in salary at least we can see how much he paid during his time as governor of Anambra State when compared to other States.
One major factor of any good economy which is foundational knowledge is that you have value for money.and Nigeria lost that literally the last 20 years if you compare us to those nations in Europe we like to compare ourselves with whenever we talk about increase in petrol and electricity.

slimfit1:
This idiot kept quiet while that Buhari turn the country upside down. Now he wants to come and talk.

And what did Tinubu do, he also kept quiet and supported Buhari twice into office, and you are blaming another person for keeping quiet who never supported Buhari into office, yet you are praising Tinubu for his actions...

Sometimes I ask myself if you guys are really normal?

Maobichek:


Both NAFDAC and SON confirmed that Erisco tomatoes is good and edible; who then will defend her?

Freedom of speech is entirely different from what she did, there are records ok. She agreed to apologize but later decline and dare Erisco to go to Court.

Court will not pass judgement base on sentiment and emotion; she had the opportunity to free herself but she was headstrong and this is the reason why we all are still here, thank you.

And the part where they showed up and carted her off to Abuja nko?
Not relevant. You can’t talk about how she was accused of breaking the law and not talk about her accuser who actually broke the law.

It’s okay to file a lawsuit if you feel wronged! It’s not lawful to first arrest them for insult she’s yet to be convicted for.

Stop defending the people who are taking away your rights. If they came for her over this nonsense and you’re backing the tyrant, you’re writing a check for them to do that with impunity anytime they see fit.

ChatterHouse:
Don't defame a hardworking business especially in Nigeria where the government policies is not even encouraging SME

CHO CHO CHO you get data

Oya eat watery beans in peace in prison instead of Erisco
All those boycott and cheering where are thou

The best advice for her and her cohort is for her to beg fellow Nigeria to beg Erisco oo

There's no UHURU anywhere for her

SEE WETIN YOU DE talk.. PRISON FOR BAD REVIEW? KIDNAPPERS AND DRUG DEALERS EVEN MURDERERS GET LESS THAN 6 YEARS WITH PAMPERED CARE IN PRISON, AND JUST REVIEW THEM SEND PERSON GO JAIL. WHAT HAPPENED TO CRITICISM? I THINK SHE IS PREGNANT CANT RECALL SHA. IF NA MOHBAD WHEN GO MARRY ASHAWO UNA GO SCREAM, IF NA BURNA FCS AND CO UNA GO SCREAM, IF NA CHINESE SUPERMARKET WHEN NOR SELL FOR UNA, UNA GO SCREAM LIKE DOGS WHEN THEM DE BURN. NONSENSE YOUTHS.

How can you spend that number of years in Abuja and you don't know that bannex connect to federal secretariat and CBN and down to area11.

You should stop living in Abuja and relocate to your village where you will easily navigate through the bushes that will pack senses into your brain.

It's well bro. That's the wish of every average hardworking but jobless Nigerian youth. Sadly, its about man-no-man. They don't even advertise government jobs anymore. You can see the way tinubu-led administration is sacking at the CBN presently. Don't think those sacked wouldn't be replaced with their own children and that of their friends. It's simply a vendetta mission they're on, not because they want to cut cost. They want to remove the hands of some perceived political enemies within the party, who produced those they sacked, including those emefiele brought in. They're simply playing opposition within same ruling party. I've never seen a thing like this nonsense before.

You'd be shocked that in the end, double the number of those sacked will be employed. After all, its a national cake. Chop make I chop levels.

If the government is truly serious about cutting cost, fighting corruption and creating jobs, believe me they know what to do and where to start from but they'd never do that. How can you create more ministeries in a distressed economy like Nigeria? Is that more important than appointing Nigerian envoys? What of the fat allowances paid to the NA members for saying hais and nays and passing useless bills like reversing the national anthem? The masses should just stop being deceived, even if na juju dey work on them make them pray to God for emancipation . They keep making same mistake again and again every 4 years and they keep suffering needlessly.

You can't expect love and elation from serving the public all the time. You should learn to take the good and bad views.

I tried reading Chioma comments, it wasn't a crime, she used and the product and gave her opinion, it's basic reaction! I don't know how going after her correct anything cos presently I can't even bring myself to buy that product after reading she lost her baby cos my wife had passed through such.

As for me, I don't think this is right in any way

You are another sentimental nigga who should know better.

There is bad reviews and defamatory review. There is a difference between 'this paste has too much sugar' and 'this tomato paste is killing people' and insisting that it is true...where is the evidence that people died from using the paste?

You aren't being logical bro...Haba!!

I don't talk to much. Next season, y'all will know once again.

Writing.."this tomato paste tastes too sugary, I think it contains sugar" is an honest opinion.
But saying "this tomato paste tastes sugary and has been killing people" is a different thing entirely..


Wait till one of ur neighbor openly accuses u of raping a child across the street, then maybe ur idea of "honest opinion" will change. In this life, there are somethings I won't take lying low, especially when it comes to my integrity.
Just like that useless blogger that accused Emoney of sleeping with Junior Pope's wife and complicity in his death.

Good points you made.
Even ‘gooder’ is the fact that the UK actually already actively have visa regimes to cater for these very vital sectors. So you see, the routes are already there. Just waiting to be explored and filled by immigrants.

ReesheesuKnack:


Exactly!
The country needs scientists and engineers: the govt introduced HSMP visa which metamorphosed into Global Talent Visa.

The country need(ed) Care Workers: A care worker visa was introduced (with care worker CoS subsequently sold on eBay & Temu @ Harrods prices.

The country needed Tech talent: Global talent (Technation) Visa was introduced.

The country needed Nurses: The NHS agents & recruiters set up tents in Abuja & Manilla & imported hundreds, nay, tens of thousands of Nurses from Phils & Naija …

The country needed masons & bricklayers: These were added to the shortage occupation list.

The country needed fresh graduates, they reintroduced 2 year post study visa.

The country needed Teachers in STEM subjects: They opened up a route.

The country needed medical doctors: We now all hear & know about PLAB 1, PLAB 2. An NHS trust/GP practice is never complete if there is no Dr Patel or Dr Singh or Dr Oluwole or Dr Ademola or Dr Gurung or Dr Thapa or Dr Rajakpase or Dr Ganeshwaran.

I think the country has tried, and is trying.

Tinubu and APC should forget Kano votes and Rivers votes in 2027
Na so we talk am

Many of you still think majority of Nigerians are normal thinking human beings . Just wait and see how they will be dancing ,singing and even killing each other to support Tinubu and APC when elections comes around . As long as money is involved majority of eligible voters will disappoint you when it is election time

Everybody seems to be supporting this labour demands now hmmm. My question is how many percent of Nigerian work force are employed by government? Who will pay people under private sector and SME their own minimum wage?
Are we ready for the kind of hyperinflation that will make what we are currently facing look like child's play this labour proposed minimum wage will cause if approved?

Since they have not increased the salary the inflation that the country is experiencing is caused by what, please?

I don't understand why will anyone be complaining about inflation anytime people talk about increase in wages in this nation.
But this same people will come and be comparing the price of petrol and gas, price of electricity, etc,etc, with Nigeria and USA.
We are our own hindrances.

which Buhari govt ?

Buhari that on his own added 40% to some fed workers last year and he even pay with 4 months arrears at a time , can Tinubu do that ? ? Tinubu will tell you no money, but they have money for foreign trips, SAs, PAs, PPSs, etc


How do want somebody to survive on 60k per month ? water electricity feeding accomodation, even transportation to office 60k wont do for 30days , abi na slavery ? While ministers ,members of NASS are paid millions despite bogus allowances

Basic123:


Nigerian reasons with emotion!

Also,70% of NLC supporters are opposition members who are just happy that NLC and FG are at logger heads not as if they want something meaningful.


Very few FG workers are in Level 1 that will receive 60k .Most are Level and above and take home will not be less than 100k at the end.Going above will cause massive grandscale inflation!

We are flesh and blood in this CORN3 with hormones in our system, therefore, every one is subject to emotions including the hypocritical ones that keep shifting the goalpost and standards;
You will be taken serious, you and your irks when you talk about the frivolous wastage of the regime and coastal highway or whatsoever you people called it that is awarded to a substandard company instead of a more reliable one, lets not say who owns the company, so there is Money for all those but Nigerians are going hungry, have you seen 1000 naira tomatoes recently, what of ordinary okra, to make an ordinary okra soap for one last week, I spent almost 10k, Okro of 1500 couldn't do co s of its size, do you know that money you people want to go and waste, if invested in Agriculture, half of our problems will be solved.

I forgot I am talking to my CORN3 man. Adieu.
