netpro: Each time you guys keep urging folks on to a destructive part. Once they hit the rocks you leave them in the cold and scamper to another unsuspecting nuisance to cheer.
We have seen these severally. Imagine believing the government can do nothing and is helpless.
I didn't compel NLC or TUC to take these actions. They must have thought about the various actions, planned them and they must be prepared for the consequences, positive or negative.
They are adults and leaders who know the consequences of their actions and also have reasons for their actions.
They don't need me or anyone to cheer them, they just want you to operate the principle of "an injury to one is an injury to all".
However, you are free not to associate with the unions. Make no mistake to think that they believe that government can not do anything or that the government is helpless.
netpro: The November 14th threat has nothing to do with their negotiations with the Feds.
If NLC wants to leave the core issues about workers welfare to chase rats regarding Imo, that will be their undoing.
The President have been lenient. It should not be considered as weakness.
Please advise the president not to be lenient. Let him bring his worst actions to the table.
What else is he bringing on? Have you gone around to see the mood of people in the nation?
Since you are one of the goons receiving monthly stipend from the government associates or proxies, you may not understand.
Never should organized labour unions tolerate the dehumanization, physical attacks and injury to their members, especially the NLC president.
B.A. Tinubu himself should understand because he was also a victim several years back, of he needs to be reminded. The action he takes now will relieve the tension or aggravate it.
netpro: Let their madness be limited to Imo State. Trying to shut down Nigeria is what I am against. If they proceed with the threat, NLC will get what it is looking for. There will surely be a proper beating.
They are aware that you will be planning more beating, attacks, violation of fundamental human rights so they have a contingency plan for you as well.
They have decided to treat the dehumanization of the NLC president in Imo state as a national issue, rightfully so. Let's see what will do about it?
netpro: NLC threatened to shut all economic activities in Nigeria come November 14th because of the Imo beating. And today, NLC locked up Abuja airport.
For more than a week now, no light in Imo State because of NLC.
Are you aware that NLC had pending issues with the Federal Government in the first place, the Imo state beating of the president has worsened the situation.
Tell the Nigeria Police, Federal and State government to endeavor to be civil in addressing or resolving issues.
Workers strike is a legitimate dispute resolution tool.
netpro: What happened in Imo State should stay in Imo. 3 governorship elections are holding this Saturday. Why only Imo? Because Oga Chairman has vested interests.
Since he brought thuggery into this campaign. Beating is now the measuring baseline throughout his days as NLC Chairman.
Unfortunately, the desperate governor and Nigerian Police with support of whoever got the intimidation and violation of fundamental human rights approach wrong when they chose to victimize the president of NLC. They need to be made to understand that it is unacceptable and will not be excused.
They must face the consequences. The Nigerian Police reluctantly reacted with replacement of the CP of IMO state despite the outcry. That indicates that the Federal Nigerian Police may also be involved in the plan to dehumanize, attack and violate the NLC president.
I am not a fan of the various labour unions but I respect the unions and will never treat the president of a union in that manner.
netpro: I don't condole what happened to him. I am against transfer aggregation and the punishment of over 200 million Nigerians economically. Especially at a critical time like this.
Who is punishing or transferring aggression to the 200 million people?
FreeStuffsNG: Certainly, Lagos state will not join the strike and I am sure that South West and the North will not too. Labour Party has lule pii again, they should try another Trojan horse as this one has failed.
Anyone who is aggrieved should go to court if they have their facts and evidence. The National Assembly will be held liable for not doing its job of protecting our democracy if they don't enact law that will separate NLC from Labour Party
I want to see the states that will not join the strike.
The level of thuggery, hostility, lawlessness, killings, kidnappings and wickedness in Imo state is ridiculous.
Especially when the governor and Nigerian Police is involved.
valentineuwakwe: You call hope uzodinma and police brutality on a national labour leaders street fight? Let God judge you for this!
"Netpro" is not being critical, logical and objective. When the police attacks an NLC president and get away with it, they can do that or more to anybody and then the country is finished.
netpro: Ajaero took to Street protest as part of his contribution to the Labour Party Governorship election campaign in his home state of Imo. And had a street fight with his opponents.
The declaration of November 14th as Nationwide Strike in honour of that shameless outing is Political and has nothing to do with the welfare and wellbeing of the Nigerian Workers and masses who are out there toiling to put food on the table.
What happened in Imo, should stay in Imo.
States should disassociate themselves from this insensitive declaration. The NLC is not Ajaero personal property.
Let me give you a scenario:
If the thee Nigerian police brutalize your governor or president. What would you suggest?
What is the implication? How would you react to the development?
Persephone1: If you have no knowledge of what Op is talking about, kindly shut it and learn!
She's right! Schizophrenic patients are prone to hallucinations. It is like a display of problems within their subconscious. Sometimes these hallucinations are so real that they mistake it for reality. I believe Op's case is not advanced at least she's not violent or evil scheming with the subject adding to her problems ( her husband) She's here seeking help and not planning how to off the man. It's a good indication she can be managed. Stop making it seem like she's an epidemic to be avoided
Aloone kindly reach out to your shrink to talk to your uneducated man. I'm not surprised at your husband's behavior that's how typical Nigerian husband is. Before you know it he will go dump you at your parents house. Nigerian women dey marry abeg!
If you are the man (husband), what would you do in this case?
Why don't you want your comment to be critique and looked into? Should everything you said be just accepted? It is a forum for a reason, we debate and learn everyday.
I don't get your confusion with "rarely " and "rising". Whatever suits you anyway.
If you want to be critical about my comments, then focus on what I said not what you want to assume or think I said.
My comments are not for your approval. I am not being examined or scored by you; i don't report to you and I owe you no regard on my opinion. It is my opinion and this is nairaland where people share their opinions.
However, you are entitled to your opinion so share yours and get off my mention.
If you want to debate, try to debate the topic and other topics raised. I don't have time for banters with you.
Young, smart and intelligent minds are often weak with respect to maturity, love and amorous relationships.
When your son or daughter is a genius or moved so fast with academics or moved too fast between several stages of life. You need to pay extra attention to such child because they often have weakness which clever peers, associates, friends or foes can exploit.
I am not advocating that you invade their privacy but I wish that the parents can do more to help them understand life. Street smartness and better understanding of life is beyond academic excellence.
You will rarely see product of average or poor family background, poverty or street want to die a suicidal death, if we must die then we die fighting and taking some or all the assailants down.
OfficialAPCNig: The first time we gave Yoruba people power, they attempted to steal the country with their third term agenda.
The second time we gave them chance to rule this country, they crumbled the economy.
It's just a pity that the best SW have to offer (BAT) is worse than the worst ever from the North (Buhari).
The North produces better leaders than SW.
FACT
You are still stuck in the election euphoria: still blaming a whole tribe for your failure and misfortune. Learn to take responsibility, it is the first step towards improvement in life.
The Yoruba tribe is not the cause of your failure in life.
nedu666: Which one is paper loss. All the banks are posting forex gains as part of their profits, fed govt will tax those profits, is it paper they will pay govt
Google the meaning of paper loss before you comment. It might help to inform you.
FreeStuffsNG: Some are paper losses from forex devaluation loss.
The truth is that most of the losses are paper losses. Many of those companies or conglomerates have been investing in forex through several currency trading activities, they enjoyed the margin when it was profitable so they should also manage the loss.
I strongly agree with you that the bulk of their losses are paper losses.
Another strong opinion is that most companies in Nigeria connive with their auditors deliberately to report losses on their financial reports for most years to reduce tax liabilities and pay the minimum tax payable. I mean that most companies doctor their financial year reports to reflect loss position.
kettykin: I once made a thread that the Lagos economy bubble is about to burst . The burst will be so much that manufacturing will cease and the companies will resort to importation.
I really pity blue collar people who are not planning to relocate.
Lagos is gone , know this and know peace.
You made a serious assertion that Lagos is gone and that there is a bubble in Lagos but you didn't prove it.
When you come on a space like this, you need to prove your points and not just drop statements without basis.
Make no Mistake!! GOD ALMIGHTY foreign policy is pretty simple!
You Bless ISRAEL, You are Blessed! You Curse ISRAEL, you are Cursed!
Genesis 12:1-3 Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
Any wise Nation or person that has understanding of the times and Seasons will stand with Unshakeable with ISRAEL.
GOD will Deal ruthlessly with all nations that stand against the Apple of HIS eyes. Nations and people should go read the book of Joel and Zechariah in the Holy Bible so they don't injure and import God's Wrath on their nations, citizens and themselves.
Are you well; are you sick? Oh shut up about blessing and cursing Israel. How many Israelites are Christians?
You bloody holier than thou! Is this, reckless killing and wasting of lives that Israel is doing, what Christianity preaches to you? What church or denomination do you belong?
Please shift make we see road abeg. Hypocrites! You want to justify wickedness and war crimes with the Bible.
Jewessgratitud3: "Sir, should I divorce or remain subject to this punishment for my infidelity? Or leave and start a new life without my family? What should I do ?
I am a married woman. I have no problems in my marriage. My husband had just been posted to another city. But I knew a young man when I was younger. We got back in touch. As chance would have it, we ran into each other one day when we were leaving the hospital.
We called each other regularly and saw each other. But I couldn't imagine it could reignite the flame still inside me. Unknown to my husband I told him out and welcomed him home. One day I introduced my husband to him. Everything was fine.
One day I fall so low by sleeping with him in my home. The children returning from school accompanied by my husband caught us in the act.
My husband and the children didn't say anything and my friend also left. Since that day neither my husband nor the children speak to me. No one eats the food I make. No child accepts that I even touch them for their shower. No one asks for my help with their class assignment. My friend also abandoned me.
I begged my husband for forgiveness but nothing. It has already been 11 months that I have lived as a stranger in the house. Their silence weighs on me. I told my parents about this.
My father no longer speaks to me. My mother occasionally only insults and calls me a harlot and stupid. I don't dare tell his family exactly. My husband also didn't tell his family.
I'm so ashamed of what I did. I broke my home. I do not know what to do"
Does your husband have a trusted and close friend or someone he respects a lot. Identify such person and assess if that person likes you or can protect you. It could also be someone in your church or mosque who can be very confidential and respectful of your marriage and husband.
If there is any one that meets the descriptions above. I will suggest you confide in the person and request that the person should help to appeal to your husband.
You need to genuinely seek his forgiveness and your children's forgiveness. Flee from adultery, respect your husband and protect him.
It is obvious that he can't trust you anymore. You need to start working on earning his trust and love again.
There is a need to start a complete excavation of old pipelines and relaying of new pipelines from PHRC to Eleme Petrochemicals Coy.
There is also need to lay pipelines from designated IOC jetty facilities to PHRC to ensure ready and optimum supply of crude oil to PHRC.
IOCs must be compelled to honor commitment to local supply of crude oil as stipulated in PIB. They must give a guarantee on right of refusal on fixed quantity of crude oil for sale to Nigerian refineries.
I am not down with the importation of Crude Oil for KRPC. The alternative is to sell the KRPC to a private investor who will just buy the goodwill, landed properties, machinery and equipment at scrap value. Federal Government is expected to settle all pending liabilities of KRPC and allow this new investor to invest their resources in new, standard and updated refinery.
How do you cope with your life after your spouse failed you and took the whole matter to the worse level by seeking for divorce?
I woke up everyday of my life in the past nine months thinking about this man. I heard he has moved on in Lagos, while I am still here bothering myself about him. This is the only man I have ever known in my life. He just left without looking back not even to check on his son. What can I do to forget him totally?
I am down emotionally and it's affecting me.
Kindly advise.
Madam, I had to go through several of your topics to have a better understanding of your situation.
I think you should grant the divorce and move on. There is a lot of mess already and a peaceful divorce is very necessary to maintain sanity on both sides and for the child to suffer less.
Look for another man to love, this one is gone.
Also learn from your failures in this marriage so you can prevent a repeat in future.
atiku4President: What is wrong in buying a presidential yacht? Fake #RevolutionNow crusader. You believe only you can save Nigeria and every other person is a thief. We have not forgotten the same people have used you in the past, and for the fact that you have been paid off and abandoned didn't make you any different.
Everything is wrong with the purchase of a yacht by the president; it is not a priority. It is simply a luxury we should not afford for now.
hammerFC: OR DO U THINK, U CAN CONTAIN WHAT IS BUILDING UP?
TAKE A GOOD LOOK AROUND THE WORLD, NOBODY IS SMILING, IF THE SUPREME COURT UPHOLD ILLEGALITY, IT MEANS THE FEDERATION HAVE BEEN DISBANDED.
TINUBU IS JUST PRESIDENT OF TOUTS, ILLITERATE, BIGGOTS AND RELIGIOUS FANATICS.
U DONT HAVE ANY RIGHT TO COME AND HOLD THE IGBO MAN FROM EXIT TO BIAFRA.
AS U DONT WANT NIGERIA, TO YOUR TENT O ISRAEL.
NA UNA SCATTER AM.
Who has been holding you before? Declare your Biafra legitimately and leave already. Can't your igbo senators and legislator move for Biafra in the National Assembly? Did you guys not vote them to represent you? We can't wait to see you leave.
Nobody is keeping you in Nigeria by force. Just leave and stop constituting nuisance to other Nigerians who appreciate Nigeria.
Would that be an idea for Austria? Once again, Central European countries are looking north, and once again the Swedes are making people sit up and take notice with a solution. The income requirements for migrants have been doubled. In plain language, this means: Anyone who earns less than 2,322 euros per month has to leave.
Sweden wants to repackage slavery. They want more taxes on incomes of migrants and citizens.
dappydozzy: Iran does not nuclear weapons, but they have advanced missile technology short and medium range that can strike any target within the Middle East.
Think again bro, they have stock piles of every necessary items to make nuclear weapons and they have the technology.
The idea that they denied that they have it does not mean they don't have it or can't produce it ASAP. That is to make the world and UN feel comfortable.
