Aleister:
“He refused to do the bypass surgery recommended because he doesn't want to be gone for too long or replaced.”

Instead to be worried about his health, the fear of being replaced is his problem. The level of greed our politicians have is astounding and unbelievable.

And you believed this?

Omihanifa:
The rate at which the guy dey lean is becoming alarming. He's the only member of G5 that is rapidly losing weight

Mr Observer

Mexyz:
What in God's name is wrong with Akpabio?

You suspended her for six months, the six months has been served, why not allow her regain her seat?
What's stopping the court case from going on while she resumes her duties for which she was voted for?

She went to court hoping that the court will rule in her favour. If she had won the suspension would have been cancelled. She lost. The court asked her to apologize to the Senate. She refused and apealed the court decision. The appeal has not been decided, how can she resume? If she loses at the court of appeal let her go to supreme court. Na she go suffer. Let her continue to do activism.

AMINDA:
Abati is a rabid liar. Ruby Ruby, the once ferocious critic under Buhari is now a spokesman for Tinubu. Why is the so-called Naval yacht berthed somewhere between Monaco and Paris if it is for the Navy? What does he have to say about the purchase of a new jet and cadillac while Nigerians starve?

"Tinubu didn't introduce the 5% tax on fuel, he only wants to implement it" - Bulaberians

So to be truthful the person must condemn anything about Tinubu and support anything negative said against him wether truthful and sensible or not.

When Abati joins in saying negative things about Tinubu then he's truthful but if he joins to point out the truth then he "is a rabid liar". Congratulations 👏🎉

Edoreborn:
Thanks dino for saying d obvious.. people are going through a lot presently and some miscreants see nothing wrong in ds directionless government.. Imagine,,i was in a shop two days ago,,and some guys there were arguing about tumbulu's performance..One tattered looking guy was defending tumbulu and bragging about how his account can never go red..
At first,,i thought he was a mechanic getting big customers and all that..The next day i saw d mugu still looking tattered collecting money from drivers,,na their i know say ds country is gone...

What are you trying to say? We can't get your direction. So anybody that fails in life then the president should be blamed.

🤣😂 Funny people. Mad people. Unreasonable people. Continue. We are watching.

aribisala0:
Your first paragraph is not the position of the law in Nigeria
Do some research


Legal Framework Supporting the Right to Unionise in Nigeria:

The Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (1999, as amended)

Section 40 guarantees freedom of association, which includes the right to form or join trade unions:

“Every person shall be entitled to assemble freely and associate with other persons… for the protection of his interests, including the right to form or belong to any trade union or any other association for the protection of his interests.”

The Trade Unions Act (Cap T14, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004)

Provides the legal framework for the formation, registration, and regulation of trade unions.

Requires trade unions to be registered with the Registrar of Trade Unions.

Allows workers in the same or similar trades, occupations, or industries to form unions.

International Commitments

Nigeria is a member of the International Labour Organization (ILO) and has ratified key conventions, including:

ILO Convention No. 87 (Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise)

ILO Convention No. 98 (Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining)

What NUPENG needs to do is to take Dangote to court. If they get judgement in their favour then they enforce it against Dangote. How can a union have dispute with a private company and go on national strike. The concept of strike is being abused in this nation.

zero8zero:

Peter Obi's body need some time to rest?, how?.
I thought your body was made of steel and can work four years round the clock with needing medical treatment 🤣. It is only the old weak Tinubu that is recharging his batteries, Peter Obi batteries are made of steel 🤣.
Where are his mob?... "Nigeria needs a young and healthy President", the jokes are on you.
See where hypocrisy has landed you.

Do you know the 🤣 funniest thing. He's only going to and fro social engagements and he's complaining that he needs rest but the chief executive of a country of over 200 million don't need rest. Why is he always telling us of monies that he donated.

He complains that PBAT is weakening opposition and he has stated that he's committed to putting every effort to take over. So PBAT should stand idle and hand over to him. Mtchee mtchee mtchee. It's strategy versus strategy.

Dalohad:
That is his modus operandi' of turning Nigeria to a One-party state..

Once the sees that a party is giving him a run for his money, he will start paying people within that party to cause dissident and destabilise that party. With Wike at other end bribing judges to give obnoxious judgements in favour of the trouble-makers in those parties..

Tinubu was never a democrat. Na feudal lord him be.

There are powers higher than him and he will contend with that soon enough. Insha Allah.

Funny 🤣. Very 🤣😂 funny. Who is that fighter that will not work to weaken his opposition?

If the opposition know that this is the strategy of your opponent why must you allow him to succeed? Failures give excuses. Didn't Tambuwal make efforts to weaken his opposition?

During OBJ's time the main opposition in the south west was AC. Everything was done to take over the entire South West. He did everything to take over Lagos. He withheld their statutory allocation. The political chess master in charge of Lagos didn't go every where crying. He resisted him and succeeded in taking back some of the states. Today he's part of a national party.

Only failures complain and use it as excuse.

CoolAmbience:
We are too lazy in this country.
No one would ask. It is quite a shame!

Where is the National Assembly? Where are the Civil Society Groups? Socio-economic crusaders? Opposition political parties?

What is going on in this country?

Akpabio has finished our legislature.

Are you not a Nigerian? You can institute an action under the FOI act and ask the government to publish details and you can go ahead and investigate. Hence the rest of us are too lazy and only you is hard working.

U09ce:
If you know the conditions under which Dangote employees work, you'd support this cause. One shouldn't be working for an oil company and still be subject to inhumane treatment

Are you working there? Show us documented conditions of service.

hotseat:
Dangote and his cousin (Alhaji Sayyu Ali Dantata) are slave-drivers, exploitative and monopolistic in their insatiable greed for wealth and more wealth.

What they intend to achieve is to make unionism a "crime" so that all employees under both men could be enslaved without an avenue for agitation for their rights as guaranteed by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended).

Despite the several financial leeways accorded him by successive administrations, this is how he wants to repay Nigerians.

This is one battle that he and his cousin cannot win.

NUPENG must rise up to the occasion and put a stop to the Feudal Lords' cruel policy of forbidding unionism.

Enough of the shenanigans!

Aluta continua!

Victoria acerta!





@hotseat

Rubbish...... I have my company and it's my right to give you condition of employment. If you like it you sign and take up employment. If you don't want you try somewhere else and another person will take your position.

Have you not noticed over the years that banks don't have unions. Where is NUBIFE? Have you ever heard of strikes in the banking sector for so many years?

NUPENG is scared that they can't hold the nation to ransom anymore with what Dangote wants to do. Their leaders want to feed fat on check-off dues from Dangote drivers. Other Dangote truck drivers do they belong to unions?

Dangote has fought the oil cabal and won them is it the small fly like NUPENG that he cannot? The days of threats by oil workers are coming to an end.

In Lagos NUPENG members will park anyhow. If Lagos State government tow their vehicles they will go on strike.

franchasofficia:
it's all about politics.


Nigerian people's purchasing power is dying everyday. Nigerians now buy mostly what they need to survive like basic food, etc, and those that use to patronize ShopRite and other big shopping malls now go back to traditional markets due to harsh economy.


Nigeria's Middleclass population that made ShopRite and other big shopping malls and outlets to boom are almost gone; most lost their jobs, relocated to remote areas, some migrated abroad, many got kidnapped, so Nigeria currently have very insignificant Middleclass population all thanks to Bola Tinubu's thoughtless and insensitive economic policies that created more poor people than rich people in Nigeria.


So tell me how is not politics?

Nay ShopRite deals mainly on imported goods. We are saying no more subsidy on imports through cheap dollar. Other super stores are springing up. JustRite is an example. Online business and home delivery has taken over.

On September 2 I ordered online and received goods worth #72k. They were delivered to my office. They are all Nigerian made products. They are all over the social media. Who get time to support South African economy through ShopRite?

rofanx13:
Why are they still borrowing if we make this much from just non oil Revenues?
Together with oil Revenues, we don't have need to borrow

An economy is not like receive monthly salaries and spend. Why borrow?

For economic expansion
To provide services pending the arrival of your income
To fund infrastructure that will grow the economy.

Dangote is still borrowing even though he's the richest man in Africa. He's not foolish.

We should be concerned about how borrowed funds are spent.

Sometimes you limit your growth if you refuse to borrow.

sonofthunder:
Next year's budget will likely be close to double of this year's or about 1.5 times. But people are still yet to start feeling the benefits of all these.

That is just the truth.

Between the federal and the subnational governments who is closer to the people? Major projects my the subnationals will have more direct impact. They are getting the money but they are not spending it rightly and every attention is on FGN.

surgical:
By the time Tinubu finish with Nigerians our people in diaspora will not recognise us again
This is why it's not good to support evil because it is not on your side when he was taxing Lagosians to death, they said he was generating the highest IGR not knowing what Lagosians were passing through now it's the turn of everybody
Who does not know the trick of making meat to disappear in the mouth, taxing is the easiest thing to do but growing the economy is the challenge

Can you grow or develop an economy without generating income. You prefer the days that the Nigerian economy was left at the mercy of events at the international oil market.

Klington:
Lies, lies lies lies lies and more lies. Next is to borrow hundreds of trillions with nothing to show for it.

Tell us the truth with your facts. We need your facts to counter what they have told us.

iwaeda:
Imagine a Toyota corolla of N900k in the days of corruption, now goes for N9m, yet he is happy, Nlfpmod, people are getting poorer.

Is Toyota Corolla a Nigerian product? The goal of devaluation is to make imports expensive and exports cheaper, force the nationals to consume what is produced.

cjudy:
Used and Dumped governor trying to please his master

Used how? Who used who? Someone that was just any other citizen but was assisted to become a governor in a choice state. Where is the used and dumped?

Softmirror:
Fuel station are now doing advertisement on radio , doing bonanza sef. If you see how dem come humble. Chai.....😁.

Very wicked people!

Before the subsidy scam when we were young fuel stations used to have dedicated staff that wipe your windscreen free and some of them offered free change of oil.

It takes a hard leader to take hard decisions.

I love it when I drive into filling stations and I see them sitting down waiting for motorists. We know what we passed through in their hands in the past.

PlasmaTV:
🤣🤣🤣

When your government was propagating CNG as the cure to Nigeria's problems and their ineptitude, APC foot soldiers were hailing them.

Now, CNG, apart from it being unsustainable, is going to be very expensive.

We've always said it - you can't out-propaganda a failing economy.

What is the price? Diversification of energy source is ideal in any economy. It guarantees energy safety. Nigeria is on track. We don't want the subsidy corruption of the past.

jmoore:
Tinubu lying that Nigeria is not borrowing but his rubber stamp senate has approved his billions of dollars borrowing plans.

Has he borrowed what has been approved? Besides the approved plan is for the whole federation. Oti has just signed one.

Mbanda:
We really need to verify this because I don't know tinibu as a soothsayer.

Which country economy is stable? Is tinibu talking about the Nigeria we know or another Nigeria we don't know of?

Abeg helinues, help us ask your principal why dollar exchange rate is still very high.

The rate of dollar has been adjusted to reflect the level of your productivity. Not the subsidized old rate that doesn't reflect your true productivity. What you should be talking about is the volatility which was the issue at the early days of reform. This doesn't exist anymore. The exchange rate is relatively stable now. Companies can now plan. One of the objectives of the devaluation is to eliminate corruption in the fx market. This has been achieved. No more arbitrage. Further reckless importation has been eliminated because imported goods are very expensive.

Heffalump:
These are words on the marble.

Datti made a strong remark here. If you stole election results, you have no obligations to fulfill to the people.

So how many of them that didn't steal election results both past and present?

Donake:
The same way elections were decided for handling a glitch in service that affected just the presidential elections right? Emilokan you snatched, grabbed it and ran away with it.

Congrats Nigeria has been running on increased borrowing not even for improved power generation.

Off point........ totally off point

Ishilove:
Keep hailing instead of borrowing a leaf from them and hurrying up the judicial process in Kanu's trial. The Nigerian government is a disgrace

Kanu's team has been dragging the matter for so long through technicalities. This is the fault of Nigerian legal system. If this fast decision by judges was made in Nigeria marginalization would have been a sing song. Abaribe would have come out.

This decision should strengthen the federal government's case against Kanu.

AMINDA:
Tinubu is using Wike to ensure that PDP does not field a candidate in 2027. Whether Obi or GEJ. What is he afraid of? I thought they said he is loved by Nigerians? Anyways, heads or tail, "The guy is gone" come 2027.

Rigging apart it will be difficult to have a politician that will defeat PBAT. Forget hatred by a section. This is a politician that spent years to build his loyalty. Obi just woke up yesterday. Amongst the class of 1999 state governors which of them is still relevant in politics? From 2007 till 2023 -- 16 years he didn't hold any political office but he was still powerful.

Very few can overcome what he went through to get his party's nomination. Everything was done by his own party and even the president to make him lose the election. The post-election fight against him has never been seen in Nigerian politics.

Now he has state power, personal wealth, personal media, long term political associates and possibly a turn around of Nigerian economy in four years. Do you think that winning election against him will be a work in the pack?

Angelfrost:
Op, the least you could have done was explain the meaning of "COS".

You can't just assume every reader knows what that means.

This is a very shitty and drab reporting.

COS - certificate of sponsorship. This is issued by companies that have home office license to employ immigrants that meet certain criteria. Every visa must have a sponsor.

Study visa cos is issued by the school that admitted the person.

Skilled worker visa cos is sponsored by licensed employer.

Upon forwarding the cos to the home office then the visa is issued to the person sponsored.

[quote author=Kukutente23 post=136624253]You sound like someone who enjoys suffering and smiling
Why will you prefer to buy expensive fuel in exchange for availability.

From me
So that I can invest my time in productive venture and save my health. Most times we bribed the attendants. Back then fuel station managers and attendants were like kings. Now they sit idle waiting for us.

From you
What guarantee do you have that the expensive fuel you buy now is not adulterated?

From me
I'm buying direct from the filling station and not black market hawkers. If anything go wrong I'll hold the station.

kb83:
Nigeria is becoming a joke, to be sincere, You there not speak against the insanity of the APC , You are witch hunted and termed with unfounded charges, Tinubu and Wike should be ready to face the music, when there tenure of impunity is over.

If we want to sanitize our system it must start from somewhere and with someone as example. It doesn't matter who the person is.

A man that live in Lagos bought a new car worth millions, took it to licensing office for registration. Of course his address and details were captured in autoreg. The LSIRS sent a text message congratulating him on his new acquisition. A few days later a BOJ tax assessment was sent to his line. A few weeks later a demand notice was placed at his residence. He ignored it. Few weeks later final notice was sent. He informed an accountant who warned him that he risks paying the whole amount or being jailed if he refuses to pay.

He quickly hired a tax consultant who was able to argue his BOJ assessment and reduced the amount. He paid the reduced assessment and of course paid the consultant a handsome fee.

This is how it should be and this is what obtains in the countries we so much love to compare. If this is enforced you will notice that all our leaders from president to the least, Obi inclusive have been living large on our wealth. Money will be everywhere and there will be no need to borrow.

This is why I don't believe in the man that keep saying: a new Nigeria is possible. If we open his tax yansh alone he will forfeit all that he's got to Nigeria. They are all the same.
