Sincere 9gerian: Nigerians are so selective in their sense of what is RIGHT or BAD. It depends on whose on the receiving end.

I recall in 2012, the govt secured a court order barring NLC and TUC from embarking on the fuel subsidy strike but because it was convenient for the labour leaders to disobey the court order, the strike and protests went without that order being vacated. Many Nigerians cheered them on. But if the FG or PDP disobeys court order tomorrow, all hell will be let loose. Are the labour unions above the law?

The same applies to ASUU. Where else in the world do a group of bandits who call themselves ASUU close the doors of the universities whenever they have grievances, whether senseless or sensible? If we criticise govt for not providing for us the best of what we see in advanced countries, shouldn't we also criticise ASUU or other labour unions for this shameless practice? If people that work in Channelstv or AIT close shop every time they are owed salaries or they want salary increase, wont those TV stations have died by now? Can you imagine that these self-serving ASUU have closed the universities for about 30months in the last 10years, ie about 20% of days within the period? Trade unionism is now becoming an alternative govt, especially at the federal level. NLC and TUC in Nigeria are automatically programmed to oppose fuel subsidy removal. It is time the govt finds lasting solution to ASUU and other labour unions madness. We cannot continue like this.

Thank you for the points.
When I was in school, I got angry at the lecturers when I thought that after paying my school fees, they still went on strike for 3 months!
If you didn't pay, you are not allowed to seat for the exams, yet after you pay, they can decide to close the gates at will.

I watched on CNN recently how that the leading economy in Africa, South Africa, have 2 unions in the mining industry alone.
One union was on strike and the other refused to join in the strike.

What ASUU is doing is immoral and self-serving like the Clergyman said.

Yes, the government should do more but the fact that these lecturers will still get paid for the time school was shut down is just appalling and criminal!
If they are to stay out of office for a whole year, they deprive the students, Nation, FG, and all, yet collect their pay smiling.

Labour Relations Act (South Africa)
The Labour Relations Act was passed in 1995, and subsequently experienced major amendments in 1996, 1998 and 2002. Its stated purpose is to "give effect to section 27 of the Constitution" by regulating organisational rights of trade unions, promoting collective bargaining, regulating the right to strike and the recourse to lockouts, as well as providing mechanisms for dispute resolution and the establishment of Labour Court and Labour Appeal Court as superior courts, "with exclusive jurisdiction to decide matters arising from the Act". The act also addresses employee participation in decision-making, and international law obligations in respect to labour relations.
The Labour Relations Act does not apply to the South African National Defence Force, the National Intelligence Agency, or the South African Secret Service.

Anyone advising President GEJ to declare his intention now is an enemy of Nigeria!
We need the president to be focused and all they keep doing is to distract him and then use the other side of the mouth to say he is not doing anything but pursuing a re-election.

If he is to declare his intention, it should be in May 2014.
Now is the time to get things done.

I used to respect Ribadu but his play in the mud is not fit for an intellectual like him.
There are times you are quiet or speak with politeness that makes your haters look foolish.

Pataki: I don't care where you are. You reason like a typical Otuoke goat.

Your president is deranged and he will utterly regret the madness he is drunk with.

Let him continue. I am happy his end will be in jail.

As a reminder, GEJ is still the president of Nigeria. So he IS your President too. Your only way out will be to denounce your citizenship.

IYA NGBALI: did you read the guy,s post at all?he said GEJ should try what he is doing with Kwankwaso or Babaginda Aliyu. Make him try am now.

He was wrongly quoted, my bad. Fixed though.

Pataki: What is this one saying? Is this about APC? Or who let out these bunch of dunderheads tonight?!

Is there a river of stupidity in Otuoke that you dunces are drinking from?

Hate can make a man sound like a child.
I am in SW and have been for years, never been to Bayelsa. That's the same way you imagine things and quickly ascribe it to whoever you don't agree with?

Not much is said about APC these days.
APC were a couple of months back boasting of the plans for "progressive pdp governors" decanping to their party.
These rebel PDP does not think APC is worth it so they would rather factionize pdp and the shameless APC hypocrites did not hesitate to gather around them in solidarity.
I thought pdp was full of corrupt bunches.

....

When some people talk, you will know they know little or nothing. America, China, Europe and UK, Japan etc all have homeless, jobless, destitutes, poor in the streets.

The good thing when economy grows is that opportunities abound, the middle class is strengthened and more leave the lower class to the middle and the middle to the upper class.
The poor and common you will always have with you.

Can someone tell Apple to stop making 4" screen phones with dual core and 1GB ram?
Even Tecno have gone past that stage.

In this age and time?

I blame the media fo this. What's their real aim bringing Asari to the media. What do they expect from him, to deny GEJ or call for peace?

emmaelectelect: When he is calm & diplomatic, they call him 'weak', when he shows restrain, they tag him 'clueless', when he smiles at the cameras, they label him a 'retard' & when he bares his fangs as the Commander-in-Chief, they now shout 'dictator'. U have got to marvel at the ever changing perceptions of Nigerians and their impossible expectations of their president

God bless you. Like I've said severally, it's a case of you are dammed if you do or don't. They are never going to accept GEJ or any other Southerner. This was clearly stated in 2010 by the born-to-rule and their allies.

APC will support anything ANTI-GEJ, proving the fight has never been against bad governance but the fact that a Southerner is the president.
If Asari Dokubo starts attacking GEJ, I bet APC will sing his praise. Shameless hypocrites!
The same people who kicked against the Jang faction of NGF, saying it's illegal, are supporting a faction of PDP, a party coup!

REHOZIBAH: What is it with some disgruntled elements declaring a Nigerian persona non grata in Nigeria?

Never before has Nigeria been polarised along tribal,ethnic and religious divide as we currently are under this man called GEJ

All in the bid to hide his dismal performance under the guise of satanic threat and empty militant soliloquy?

This post ironically supports their stand.
We have had corrupt leaders from the North and West exchange barton for so long. They were never given the heat. Yaradua was not really a Mr. Fix it type of President, yet no heat. He even declared the election that brought him was flawed and he never got this kind of attack.
OBJ (I respect him a lot) had a lot to answer and most SW didn't like him, yet was not troubled like this.
Why is GEJ's different?
If you think it's bad governance or poor performance, then you have been deceived.
Read this:

The North is determined, if that happens, to make the country ungovernable for Jonathan or any other Southerner who finds his way to the seat of power. Kaita, however, said he was happy that some notable Northerners, such as former military President, General Ibrahim Babangida (rtd); Atiku; former Head of State, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari; former National Security Adviser (NSA), Lt-General Aliyu Gusau (rtd) and a few others are in the race to represent the interest of the North.

ballabriggs: Blaaa the influence those guys have even after leaving office is still very strong. IBB still has a strong influence in every region of Nigeria.

Jona's influence is limited to his creek in Otuoke. So they are quite different people and that is where you all and Jona miss it.

You mean where Nigeria's oil and revenue, your state budget and probably salary is coming from?

Billyonaire: Where is poor Gbawe ? Hahahahaha, he has been banned for name calling. Now, tell me, Who is the Champion ? I am, and I represent GEJ.

GEJ leads, others follow.

FRESH AIR.

They have logged in with their duplicate monikers. They will all follow the same path.
No one can hate progress and expect to progress.

I have never been against the idea of having a viable opposition.
What we have in APC is not opposition, but bitterness, corruption, ethnic and religious bigotry, and desperation all packed into one.
APGA, PPA, LP, ANPP, DPP have all been in opposition before now.

NA ACN/CPC CUM APC BE THE FIRST OPPOSITION PARTY FOR NIGERIA? ENEMIES OF NIGERIA!

seanet02: Billionaire is a yahoo boy.
He can only survive where criminality is the order of the day.
When gej is kicked out, he will either have adapt, die or hibernate till ijaw republic is created.

Yet Lagos, APC state, is the Yahoo boys capital of Nigeria.

[quote author=St_Black]End of Story!! .....THANK GOD he nailed himself.

...Retardeen has deceived with Suffering !!! [/quote]Are you this dull? Do I have to explain everything to you?

Billyonaire: Listen, little rabbit, I am a billionaire, Yes, I am. I demand apologies from you and I will get it sooner. I am not threatening you, No, not yet.

If you think you can come to this forum and smear the name and personality of the President and go scot-free then you are living in illusion. We are trying to get the country working and you are pulling us down with your wanton disregard for people greater than you in intelligence and other capabilities.


Be careful!

So true at the highlighted.

I said it since 2011.
It's not that GEJ is not performing, they actually do not want him to perform.
Their true fear is that GEJ has been quietly transforming Nigeria.
Agreed GEJ may not know how to politrick like most of them. He mean well for Nigeria, yet they don't want him and will do anything to frustrate or undermine his efforts.

[quote author=St_Black]Is that ur "People's Destabilizing Party" calculation?


....no wonder GEJ keeps deceiving his apologists with Niger bridge & d likes !!


....Keep ridong in SELF-DESTRUCT !![/quote]No it's not PDP's calculation, its mine.
At the bolded, do you mean his ongoing transformation agenda? Yes, he is "deceiving" people by working!
If GEJ is gone as you claim you know, you will not be here and troll thread to thread looking to win support to the Angry People's Congregation.

deeptesting: You write like the average thug Nigeria politician, i wonder what you will do when you have argument with people in real situation..C`mon WTF! Politics of bitterness.

That's a trademark of APC. Exactly the same way their leaders speak.

[quote author=Gbawe.]Bruv, forget that. Just call him by his fitting name of Barawo or Omo Ole.[/quote]...condescending.

[quote author=St_Black]..You make me

...But cant u see the Opposite.

....Amaechi, Atiku, Kwankwaso,etc are the ones now taking care of your Retardeen !......They are even the ones giving him headache now !!!

G7 + SW + some MB+ EDO ....all are gone !!
.
..CANT U SEE UR RETRADEEN IS FINISHED !!!..His life don PAFUKA !![/quote]You are obviously a kid in Nigerian politics.
Edo gone to APC? Joker!
If APC gets up to 10% votes in PH, I'll give them a pass mark.
80% of MB is for GEJ (as long as Mark remains on his side, up to 50% if he leaves).
Even 50-70% of Lagos and SW after voting for APC in state and NASS, will turn back and vote for GEJ, AGAIN!
SS and SE are almost totally for GEJ.
The core north is still debatable in many parts plus the states GEJ will loose, he will still garner enough support.
If you don't know, now you know.
You have read too much Lagos/APC propaganda.
Ever wondered why APC is yet to decide on their presidential candidate?

[quote author=St_Black]Listen to urself!
Is Atiku presently now in ACN & also Al Muspha?

...We talk of d present , You talk of the past.
Past means going backwards . HOPE THAT NOT HOW UR REASONING FUNCTIONS?[/quote]You are lost. Read my post you first quoted again.

[quote author=St_Black]You are more funny !

PLS TELL ME D DICTATOR HERE:

A man purging the environment of Destitutes and parasites that could cause harm

OR

A man who cracks down on moves by the opposition, hence defying the rules of democracy?


....pls answer as d joke is on you! [/quote]The fact that you describe fellow citizens of this great Nation by such words shows how wicked and dictatorial you and those you support are.

You are not fit to be a human. Heartless!

[quote author=St_Black]Atiku in APC?..El Rufai (to work for GEJ) in APC?....


LOL.

They say Confession is d first step to repentance ....but in ths case, CONFUSION IS THE LAST STEP TO DENIAL !!!!

..i guess dis whats worrying GEJ Apologists ![/quote]What are you saying my friend? At least I wrote in simple English. It isn't that difficult to read.
Let me help you in case you are too young to know.
Atiku contested as ACN presidential candidate.
Ribadu contested as same.
They started/is in pdp.
El-rufai, a former Minister was from PDP.
There are many others in the current APC.

[quote author=Gbawe.]What have I written that makes you think I am behind Atiku? As far as I am concerned, GEJ is no victim. We have all seen him trying to bully others with aplomb. We saw him install dictatorially (Anenih BOT) plus sack undemocratically (Amaechi NGF) at will. What is worse than that in terms of powerplay and what makes him better than anyone else?

However his fellow 'thieves' choose to deal with his 'dishonour' and initial dictatorial 'gra gra' is their own business. If a patently fair person, then you would know it is inevitable that those who live by the sword have a high likely-hood of dying by it. Stop ranting emotionally about anyone supporting Atiku and grow up.

Think like a principled, upright man and note what matters. All that GEJ has been doing did not happen in 1806. They happened recently and we all witnessed GEJ at his undemocratic, undermining, bullying and dictatorial best. It says a lot of your clannish mindset that you now want to be revisionist in presenting GEJ as the 'maligned'. Stand-up guys understand that fair is fair and right is right always[/b]in life. You don't start damning others as mean because they deal with a thief who has caused untold misery for others and is pretending, on the day justice is served to him, to be a victim. [b]Have you spoken up for Ameachi here after what GEJ has put him through?

How about Oyinlola and others sacked unceremoniously so that Anenih could be BOT chairman? The main character flaw common to you fans of GEJ is that you are not fair people and you don't understand that you have no right to think you and yours can get away with wrongdoing towards others while never expecting any repercussion for such behaviour.[/quote]A renowned APC and Fashola praise singer speaks of dictatorial tendency. What an Irony!
All I see I Lagos is ban, ban and more ban.
Then with a usual "if you don't like it, go back to your village!"
Talk about a dictator.
Lastly, stop talking principle, you are not close to being one at all.
Read your posts on this thread alone, please save it for another day.

[quote author=St_Black]Outsoucing Presidecy to PDP?......Was it ur an*al oriface u heard that from ?

..and BTW, must an individual need been a president for u know he/she is a man of value?


...ur an*al oriface just did a bad work of reasoning for you !!![/quote]Atiku
Ribadu
The only 2 presidential candidates of ACN.
They are PDP.
Already looking at Tambuwa.
Many pdp "drop outs" find their way to APC.
I can't count the number of threads about pdp governors "ready to defect to APC".
El-rufai, the Emir of Twitter, is from where?

Billyonaire: DO not mind the hypocrites, anyone that's against GEJ is their Hero. Their hate for Mr President is tribal, sentimental and parochial. We will resist all machinations targeting our collective survival as a region.

GEJ has taken absolute control of the PDP machinery, and the cabals have congregated in a battle they can NEVER win.

GEJ, will and MUST remain in Aso Rock till 2019, this is NOT negotiable.

They have refused to allow the man rule from day one.
How do you say a president has failed before he was in office for up to 2years.
With Boko Haram and all their strategies, GEJ has been working.
Yet they will not accept whatever is done. It has been a case of you are dammed if you do or don't.
They are the true enemies of Nigeria and I will no longer condone the hypocrisy.
