Politics / NLC Suspends Strike, To Resume Talks With FG by Udstar(m): 8:43am On May 23, 2016
Fidelis Soriwei, Abuja

The Nigeria Labour Congress has
suspended the indefinite strike it
called to protest the increase in the
pump price of petrol from N86 and
N86.50k to N145.
The decision to suspend the strike was
taken at an emergency meeting of the
NLC National Executive Committee in
Abuja on Sunday.

The NEC also resolved to resume
negotiation with the government on the
issue of the increase in electricity
tariff and the 45 per cent increase in
the pump price of petrol.
The President of the NLC, Mr. Ayuba
Wabba, who read the communique of
the meeting to the newsmen in Abuja
on Sunday, did not give a specific date
for the expected talks with the
government on the two contentious
issues.

The communique he jointly signed with
the General Secretary, Dr. Peter Ozo-
Eson, was silent on the date for the
commencement of the negotiation.
Wabba said the NLC had to suspend
the strike because of the intervention
of prominent Nigerians, especially the
National Leader of the All
Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola
Tinubu, and others.

The NLC President told journalists
that it was not possible for the NLC
to ignore the intervention of
prominent Nigerians who were also
concerned about the issue at stake.
He stated that the suspension of the
strike was not informed by the
comment of the Minister of Labour and
Employment, Dr. Chris Ngige, that the
Federal Government could only
resume talks with the NLC when the
strike was suspended.

Wabba added, “We said we have
suspended due to the intervention of
those who had intervened. It is left for
them to invite and create a platform to
discuss that.
“It is not the Minister of Labour we
are talking about, my friend; we are
talking about the leaders of the party
who came to the NLC secretariat.
“Or do you think we should just sweep
that under the carpet; we cannot sweep
all that under the carpet. So, when we
are talking about people who
intervened, we should look at the fact
that they have also shown concern on
the issue.”

While reading from the communique, Wabba said the action was suspended with immediate effect after due consultations with the various constituents of the congress.
He stated that the NLC was committed to dialogue in accordance with standard principles of representation.
The NLC president added, “In
consideration of the above, NEC after
due consultation with its constituents,
resolved to suspend, with immediate
effect, the action it commenced on
Wednesday, May 18, 2016. The action is
thus hereby suspended.
“Congress will resume negotiations
with government on the twin issues of
the hike in electricity tariff and an
increase in the pump price of
petroleum products and any other
issue that may arise thereof.

“The Congress will continue to resist
wrong legislation, policies and
programmes and will always act in the
best interest of Nigerians as it remains
the only pan-Nigerian organisation not
affected by religion, region, creed,
partisanship or primordial sentiments.
“The Congress urges the government
to play by the rules in its engagement
with its constituent parts,
stakeholders and non-state actors as
proof of its commitment to deepening
our democracy and also in
acknowledgment of the well-worn
credo that what goes around, comes
around.”

Yes. The Federal Government should find a way to sustain / better the lives of people.

We all know that Buhari alone cant fix this country overnight, the man (Buhari) is trying is best, but Nigerians needs to be sustained.

And the stupid NLC and TUC should call off the already planned strike that yield nothing but more pain to Nigeria's Economy.

Instead of them to be protesting for the increment of minimum wage from N18K to N90k, they are beating around the bush, they know what should be done, but what they will steal and cheap bribes wont let them see it.

God will help us.


Thanks bro. Their protest should be on increment in minimum wage

Politics / Re: I Budgeted N200 Billion For Roads Unlike Jonathan’s Paltry N18 Billion – Buhari by Udstar(m): 10:50pm On May 06, 2016
donphilopus:


Who will use the roads Nairalanders, what name should we call this guy for spewing this hocus-pocus? In March, a Minister died in Abuja-Kaduna expressway. After a month, 6 Medical Doctors or so from Ekiti still died on that spot. And just some few days back, some guys from Kano died in a road accident. Should we blame all those drivers? Are the roads good enough? Since you said we don't need road, I suggest your State Government untie all the roads leading to your community let's see how people would survive there. Think with your brain abeg!!

We also know how Jonathan empowered some Youths during his administration. Sure-P comes to mind. Who were the beneficiaries? Abeg joor. .Stop all this sh1t abeg. 2016 budget has come to stay!


Please don't be blinded by sentiments, those accidents you mention were not caused by bad roads. In the minister's case, the tired pulled off while the other one was as a result of the careless herdsman with his cows. I'm not a wailer nor a zombie, let's let go the fight. Although GEJ was not flawless but let us appreciate his little effort. Buhari is now our President and so let's support him and wish him well.

If Buhari performs better than Gej, it would not be so because he is better off than Gej rather it would be because he learned from the mistakes of the past governments. I'm sorry if I have insulted in any way, thanks, one love.

2. If His will for me is to make heaven.

Health / Re: All You Need To Know About Zika Virus. by Udstar(m): 12:42am On Jan 27, 2016

Health / Zika Virus, Newest Deadly Plague After Ebola, Lassa by Udstar(m): 12:29am On Jan 27, 2016
On January 14, the World Health
Organisation declared that West Africa was
free of the deadly haemorrhagic fever,
Ebola. West Africa was the disease’s
stronghold so the news was welcomed by
all. It was as good as saying the world was
Ebola free.


However, barely 24 hours after WHO’s
declaration, the organisation made another
announcement that there was a new
probable case. The new case was in Sierra
Leone and it came 43 days after the last
known case. It was a sad report but the
WHO, Center for Disease Control and all
concerned authorities got to work.


Though Nigeria had promptly fought the war
against Ebola when it found its way in, the
country had started battling other life-
threatening diseases almost immediately.
The Avian Influenza, commonly known as
Bird flu became the next headache. Though
it is typically a poultry disease, the strain
N5H1 found in Nigeria can be transmitted to
humans. Then, as if that wasn’t enough Lassa
fever, another type of viral haemorrhagic
disease, reared its head. This time monkeys
are not the key carriers as in the case of
Ebola, but rats.


Nigeria has declared war on rats now.
Sellers of rat poisons, rat gum, traps and
house fumigators are making brisk business.


While Africa is struggling with Ebola and
Lassa, Bird flu is showing up on all the
continents. The sad news is that there is a
new on in the Americas is Zika virus.


Zika is currently found in Brazil. Though
the symptoms shown by people with Zika
virus disease are only mild fever, skin rash
and conjunctivitis − popularly known around
here as Apollo − for about 2-7 days, it is a
different story for pregnant women. The
WHO said the disease affects the growth of
the foetus, leading to microcephaly or
stunted brain growth. One case of
microcephaly linked to Zika virus has been
established in Hawaii.


WHO is predicting that Zika will spread to
all except two countries in the Americas,
Canada and continental Chile. Concerns are
also growing that the disease may become a
worldwide issue with the 2016 summer
Olympic Games coming up in Rio de Janeiro
Brazil.


In the meantime though, here are facts you
should know about Zika virus according to
WHO:

1. Zika virus disease is caused by a virus
transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes.
2. People with Zika virus disease usually
have a mild fever, skin rash (exanthema)
and conjunctivitis. These symptoms
normally last for 2-7 days.
3. There is no specific treatment or vaccine
currently available.
4. The best form of prevention is protection
against mosquito bites.
5. The virus is known to circulate in Africa,
the Americas, Asia and the Pacific.


TRANSMISSION

Zika virus is transmitted to people through
the bite of an infected mosquito from the
Aedes genus, mainly Aedes aegypti in
tropical regions. This is the same mosquito
that transmits dengue, chikungunya and
yellow fever.


Zika virus disease outbreaks were reported
for the first time from the Pacific in 2007
and 2013 (Yap and French Polynesia,
respectively), and in 2015 from the
Americas (Brazil and Colombia) and Africa
(Cape Verde). In addition, more than 13
countries in the Americas have reported
sporadic Zika virus infections indicating
rapid geographic expansion of Zika virus.


PREVENTION

Mosquitoes and their breeding sites pose a
significant risk factor for Zika virus
infection. Prevention and control relies on
reducing mosquitoes through source
reduction (removal and modification of
breeding sites) and reducing contact between
mosquitoes and people.


This can be done by using insect repellent;
wearing clothes (preferably light-coloured)
that cover as much of the body as possible;
using physical barriers such as screens,
closed doors and windows; and sleeping
under mosquito nets. It is also important to
empty, clean or cover containers that can
hold water such as buckets, flower pots or
tyres, so that places where mosquitoes can
breed are removed.


Special attention and help should be given
to those who may not be able to protect
themselves adequately, such as young
children, the sick or elderly.


During outbreaks, health authorities may
advise that spraying of insecticides be
carried out. Insecticides recommended by
the WHO Pesticide Evaluation Scheme may
also be used as larvicides to treat
relatively large water containers.


Travellers should take the basic
precautions described above to protect
themselves from mosquito bites.


TREATMENT

Zika virus disease is usually relatively mild
and requires no specific treatment. People
sick with Zika virus should get plenty of
rest, drink enough fluids, and treat pain and
fever with common medicines. If symptoms
worsen, they should seek medical care and
advice. There is currently no vaccine
available.
