Brendaniel:
I'm only calling out the failure of the government.

SisterAnn:
Oga, sowore has receipts oo 😅

Druss:
Read my response to the second. How do I know? From actually liaising with Pengassan members and senior staff of oil and gas companies. Feel free to call any name here of any Pengassan member who is a senior mgmt staff of any oil and gas company.

The difference here may be what is being referred to as senior staff. Forget the meaning of the name.

Misterone:
Oga, stop talking nonsense. Force majeure has to be declared before it can come into effect.

Brendaniel:
So you are trying to tell me that the state government can never do wrong?

Kukutente23:
I can't vouch that not everyone on NL is not stupid. By their comments we shall know them.

For example. You're making some conjecture based on taxes and you're relying on innuendos and accusation from a faceless group while declaring yourself "too sure" that FIRS is covertly investigating SR.

If you had just done a little research, you'll have known that SR is not even registered as a business entity in Nigeria and is thus not even obligated to pay tax to Nigerian authorities.

Secondly, if you were really concerned about not looking stupid, you'll have enlightened yourself to the fact that freelancing is allowed in journalism. That's why you can see someone who is not a staff of a TV station hosting a show there. An example is Ebuka hosting rubbing minds on Channels TV while we know he's not a staff of Channels. I guess according to you and the faceless group, Channels is maltreating Ebuka by having him freelancing on their station. I hope you know how stupid that sounds. And SR officially promotes citizen journalism or freelancing. It's clearly written on their website.

Sowore has taken the right step by writing to the office with investigative and prosecutorial powers in Florida. Tell the clownish group to do the needful and report Sowore for tax evasion

If it is voluntary...why does the union want to shove it down the throat of the company..
Their stands IS that all the company's workers must be under union.. and this is for ulterior motives..
You can continue to deceive yourself that it is truly for workers welfare.. cabals who want to bring down the refinery want to use the workers to penetrate into the facility and control..

A clear example has been set.. IOCs who have no business with this are about to go on strike.. the union didn't go on strike when 3bn dollars was spent to rehabilitate dead refineries and none of them work today ..

Even the cement manufacturing division of Dangote group have unions.. it is not like the Dangote hates the initiative..

This case is different

.you think Dangote is a fool to not know what they want to use so called Union to do his refinery?
NNPC tried by trying to starve the refinery from receiving crude. Dangote went ahead to import crude And the fact that his facility sits on a free trade zone gives him the right to do it and most importantly..his facility can crack any crude meaning he doesn't need to stay dependent on Nigerian crude..NNPC failed..

NUPRC tried by calling products from Dangote concentrated with impurities (sulphur) today Nigerians attest to the fact that the product of the refinery are the best for their engines...NUPRC failed..

NUPENG tried by threatening to prevent lifting of products from the refinery..Dangote bought 4000 trucks to do it himself..they failed..

It is PENGASSAN turn..let see how it unfold..

Some how ..all these unions never stood up when the refineries died..when people were stealing crude and subsidy money.. when people imported adulterated products because they are complicit..

You can keep deceiving yourself..

SisterAnn:
I should focus on a post from a faceless group who never tendered any shred of evidence to back up their claims? That one is exclusively reserved for you.

Druss:
Wrong information. Senior staff in oil and gas are not members of Pengassan. It is mostly junior staff and front line that are members. Carry on.

Brendaniel:
Have you seen any document from even the state government to prove anything ?

If you don't have any document from the state government but you believe them, but you are here asking me for documents like you and I both have access to any documents about the issue...

SisterAnn:
Where is the evidence of this your ranting? Are you the voice behind this faceless group?

Misterone:
It's like you don't read to comprehend! Dangote did not sign any agreement with PENGASSAN! If those agreements are disrupted by PENGASSAN, Dangote can sue those companies for breach of contract. So you can see that Dangote will ask those companies to pay for its lose.

Opebiman:
how does that law make any sense..
do banks have their own union, do private university have unions..

what business does a private venture have with union..
the best is if a company is accused of improper treatment of workers ..they can be taken to court ,..that is the government's job

Brendaniel:
Are you sure if they haven't done that and they were not listened to?

EngrHumble:
Do you or PENGASSAN have any evidence that the staff were dismissed as a result of joining the union?


If they have evidence, let them use legal means to seek the reinstatement of the staff

BarrElChapo:
He is clearly not being sincere, my sibling who is am engineer at the refinery was sacked eventhough she didn't join the union. My younger brother works at MRS whose owner is Dangote's cousin and he said there's no union there and they the Nigerian workers are being paid peanuts compared to immigrants workers, even someone from Ghana is being paid in USD. We'll see what becomes of the meeting with the FG.

Elusive001:
So why not take Sowore to court too?

Kukutente23:
Point out where it is written in the obviously fake story that Sowore does not remit CIT and PAYE
Zombie work no easy at all. You must first off sense
Sowore has already written to the attorney of florida where Wike's crime was committed for action
So tell your FIRS to take Sowore to court
Besides, since the group have no stand in the matter, can you explain why you swallowed their story like Wike's akamu

Kukutente23:
But you support looters who loot instead of paying doctors
Or what do you mean by the bolded below
Are you not joyously alluding to the red eye Sowore gave your political tin gods?
It's even funny you quickly believe a faceless group who have shown no shred of evidence to back up their claim simply because of the hate you have for Sowore for calling out looters of your future and destiny
Why don't you tell the faceless group to take Sowore to court if they have proof and solid case instead of swallowing their story head and tail like Wike's akamu

Elusive001:
What of persons who stole money from the states they ruled? They owed workers, gave no promotions to those due, but they embezzle public funds.[code][/code]

Kukutente23:
You suddenly care about workers!!
Just last week doctors went on strike in FCT over unpaid allowances and poor working condition
You and the paid zombies who wrote this piece of trash were nowhere to be found
I bet you'll even support the govt against those doctors but Sowore choosing freelance journalism is your problem
This is the reason why Nigerian politicians will never be serious with nation-building. They know there are useful idiots ready to defend them and attack those who speak up against their misdemeanours
The Mugu writer is not writing that Sowore stole govt money nor allocated public properties to himself o.
His problem is how Sowore hires his journalists
Hunger is truly bad

Let one or two state governors make land allocations for business investments in their states for those willing to relocate their business and let them gradually relocate their businesses.

I can bet on it, in years times to come, Lagos will feel the effect of all these not well thought out actions.

Time will tell.

Spotlight001:
An Abuja based Non Governmental Organisation, the Society for Rule of Law in Nigeria (SRLN), has raised concern over the treatment of workers, especially Editorial Staff of Sahara Reporters, like slaves, earning paltry sum of money per story published without employment letters.

The group, which accused the owner of Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore, of living large while underpaying his workers, added that editorial staff of Sowore's Sahara Reporters do not have any letter of employment stating their conditions of service and entitlements.

Rising from its meeting in Abuja on Sunday, the SRLN lamented in a statement by its Coordinator, Dr Chima Ubeku, that reporters who daily risk their lives to report stories for Sahara Reporters are paid peanuts while Sowore is paying over N200 million as school fees for one of his children per annum.

It said it was even more worrisome that Sowore, owner of the online media platform has been everywhere, agitating that policemen should not earn less than ₦500,000 per month. Meanwhile, his own editorial staff are not paid any salary.

The SRLN described as inhumane, a situation where those working for Sowore are not formally and properly employed and are being paid per story, without any fixed monthly remuneration.

It is sad that Sowore, who claimed to be a human rights activist is contravening the Labour Act, 2004, which is the principal legislation governing employment relation in Nigeria.

The SRLN called on the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ) to intervene and save journalists working in Sahara Reporters from slavery they are being subjected to by Sowore.

Brendaniel:
So why is the Lagos state government not prosecuting those involved in bribe collection under the state government?

Is the government not interested in weeding off those spoiling its image?

The Obedient movement and Peter Obi would have to sacrifice their Presidency aspirations to stay in ADC.

It is clear for any deep thinker to see.

Brendaniel:
The question is why did the Lagos state government leave them to build for years and stop any construction from going on?

Why wait till people have built before coming to destroy?

gabbytabby:
All lands in the state are owned by the state government and it is only the state government that can grant approvals and CofO.

When the federal government left Lagos, a lot of lands allocated to the Federal Government in Lagos where either commandeered by officers illegally if they find out it was allocated to their ministry or sold by Omonile.

Always do a search of the land and that way you measure the risk you are taking and decide what kind of structure to put up.

The fact they are saying FG means they don’t have legitimate approval on the land.
