As a worker, it's a right to join union but it's not a must you join a union.

PENGASSAN AND NUPENG trying to ensure or force dangote staff to join their union is illegal as it is illegal for dangote to stop her staff from joining any union.

If I were to be dangote, I will offer incentives for not join either PENGASSAN OR NUPENG. They can unionise amongst themselves but shouldn't join this 2 greedy unions that have held nigeria to ransome.

Really glad to be reading some intelligent contribution on this thread that can put widespread ignorance to shame instead of the usual FG witch-hunting that is common and pervasive here

NUPENG, NLC and co, depending on those leading them, are compromised blackmailers and glorified mercenaries for hire most times with cartel-like mentality.

They always want in on the money and therefore make themselves amenable to be used for the vested interests of the likes of powerful Marketers, politicians etal.

TheBizGenius:
The bad?
1. Nunpeng has realized he would cut off their relevance as an association to both his operations and the Nigerian government.
Imagine the biggest player in the industry not needing you for his operations. That's a real dent in their reputation.

💯% correct. Good to note intelligent guys still exist on Nairaland lol.

Zico5:
This government is just pressing the masses necks. Nothing good has come out since tax master has taken over. It's tax, tax and tax everyday, laise afise.

Are some of you born naturally unfair or is it that reading, to gain information, is to you like a cross is Dracula?

What does this have to do with the FG?
It is a rift between Dangote Refinery and NUPENG over Union registration for Dangote Refinery workers simply because NUPENG want Dangote workers under their banner and control.

The reason is obvious because virtually all organisations in Nigeria are blackmailers worse than those they claim to be fighting.

If NUPENG forces a petrol strike, Dangote can still continue supplying Petrol because his workers, not under NUPENG, are not obligated to join the strike. NUPENG simply want the dictatorial power to be able to cripple Nigeria at will or even for political purposes. We saw Joe Ajaero, leader of the Nigerian Labour Congress, engaging in similar antics.

Like a poster said earlier, and because of people like you, best Nigerians go their separate ways and manage themselves along regional lines.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/punchng.com/strike-continues-says-nupeng-over-dangote-labour-dispute/%3famp

The National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers on Tuesday vowed to continue its nationwide strike after the collapse of the conciliation meeting organised by the Minister of Labour and Employment, Muhammad Dingyadi, to settle the crisis between the union and the Dangote refinery on Monday.

The meeting ended in a stalemate as both parties disagreed on the unionisation of tanker drivers at the Dangote refinery.

NUPENG President, Williams Akporeha, who spoke on Arise News Television on Tuesday, said the union had no choice but to press on with industrial action after Dangote’s management rejected recognised oil and gas unions and allegedly claimed to have a separate association for its workers.

NNtv:
I think this move by nupeng and FG is deliberate just to frustrate Nigerians.

What is the FG's gain abetting fuel scarcity that will cripple commercial, personal and Government activities? Make it make sense.

JovialJune:
Be quiet, countless times we've seen fathers kill their kids and wives for no reason, in fact statistics can show highest murders are by fathers, so what exactly is your point? Single mothers should not seek love because they have kids? The mother that stayed to care for her kid is at fault but the dead beat father that left is a Saint?

Obvious you have issues per your personalised and insultive tirade. Again, the point is that single mothers must be more responsible than women with no kids.

How can anyone have issues with that commonsensical consideration? Searching for love means you operate with compromised judgement?

Whereas it is the opposite that is correct. I.e the fact that a vulnerable and helpless child is in a mum's care warrants her being even extra careful. Can you listen to yourself?

Secondly, you accuse others of jumping to conclusions yet you call an absent father you do not know, who may be absent by mutual consent or for the best, "dead beat father".

Are many responsible separated/divorced couples not co-parenting well? Is all this bitter talk because you a single mother who hates men?

Predictor3:
That's the problem with single mothers. They're always the lowest hanging fruit for sex predators, even easier than completely inexperienced teenagers.

And the most annoying thing about women is that when they're with a steady man, they brag about how they can be on their own - go away, I don't need you! But when the man leaves, they start feeling the absence of a man and start casting their hooks around again. Then they usually end up with men who are worse than the ex.

Well -said. More or less the point I made earlier. Predatory men will target single mothers because they know their options are limited.

Meaning a considerable number would be desperate enough to the extent their judgement may be compromised leading them to engage in relationship with character they may reject if single and without the full-time responsibility of caring for one child or more.

This young lady in question is seeing someone she is constantly fighting with according to a neighbor.

That alone is terrible for the baby to be witnessing and should, to any sensible and responsible mother, be warning sign she must put her child first and get rid of the dude.

JovialJune:
Of course you'd blame the mother that trusted the bf enough to leave her with him, and spare the man from castigation for the evil he did, typical mentality of nairaland boys

Today, single mothers can't get a man, tomorrow, single mothers are desperate to be with men

Is something wrong with you? Where did I absolve the the alleged killer of blame? Did you not read the article to note a neighbor confirming probable domestic violence that should be a red flags for any sensible and responsible single mother?

That's my point. When you are a single mother, regardless of how you split from the father of your child, your life is no longer your own to be selfish with.

The safety and interest of your child should be paramount above everything.

“I held the baby, you know, because we spent a little time with each other. She was playing with my phone – she was an active one year old.”

LaCroix said her daughter heard “arguments” coming from the trio’s apartment, and she wished she would have “stepped in and helped.”

“They fight every night. [I’ve heard] them argue every night since they moved here … ‘F–k you, b–ch.’ And ‘Get the f–k out,’” she said.

“Several times she put his clothes out, but they’d be back together the same day.”

JovialJune:
Because you personally know the woman to know the kind of dad he is, are you sure you're okay?

I qualified my statement with "may".Obvious you're just looking for who to vent on.

christistruth01:
GRV Yorubaland doesn't need your alignment or your types Tribal slurs

He is finished in Lagos politics for his Chameleon-like desperation to align with Yorubas, for political gains, yet his talk and action shows he despises Yorubas, does not identify with us and has confessed he "does not think in Yoruba".

Predictor3:
Too bad

Indeed. I have seen it happen many times. Women make terrible choices when lonely and sad or just desperate.

Understandable. Yet it is crucial for women to always consider their child, they have custody of, who did not ask to be brought into the world.

Check out the tragic example below that confirms all I said. A father is grieving and warning other parents over the death of his son killed by the boyfriend of his ex.

The killer had several serious criminal convictions also yet the woman still brought him around her child.

Awon eyan radarada. Hoodrats
Don't know when these idiots will change.
Where is the child's dad?
................................... .....................

He may actually be around and even a caring dad who is responsible. Nonetheless, he has no influence over the men his ex brings into the life of his daughter. Tragic.

Wow. What a cutie. Tragic. RIP. A lot of women get in trouble because they cannot understand it is not a must to always have a man around for the sake of it.

Better, especially if a single mum, to take time to know a partner before giving it all up to a man and letting him totally into your life and that of your kids.

Most times, single mothers are the most desperate to be with men whereas they should be the most careful and most reserved. This tragic development is actually common.

WizardOfNG:
Reverse psychology. You already know Tinubu will never have any interest in allowing an openly bigoted, emotional and prejudiced individual like you become a State or Federal legislator for Lagos let alone Governor. Nonsense. Untalented mediocrity like you. mscheeeew.

@ Mynd44.

Bro kindly look into this development. I won't let it slide. This post was banned by NL "bot" . Explain to me what could have triggered a ban.

After I complained and presented a screenshot of the post, a mod reinstated the deleted post. I direct this to you because I know you are fair.

Appears as if some Mods are ethnically prejudiced and using their power to dictatorially victimise Yorubas here they feel 'hit hard'.

You may be outnumbered with Seun's lunacy of making the most prejudiced Nigerians, from one ethnic group, the majority per composition of Mods on NL but do the right thing and bring this to his attention if my complain has merit.

I have many other screenshots of my posts taken out instantly. I am IT literate enough to know those cannot be due to auto ban from a bot. It is human action because parameters I observe can't be filtered for insults, bullying etc as the posts aren't guilty of that . the bans I get are predatory, deliberate and prejudiced Moderator action.

@Nairalanders.
If you are banned and you feel such is unfair, use back button twice to see your post in live mode retained in the RAM (random access memory) of your device.

Screenshot and present here. Let's get to the bottom of abuse of power by the MODs misguided Seun keeps deploying trying to be 'woke'.

Below is another "bot" ban I received. A poster is baiting. I respond without insult. Instant WWF-style takedown. Guys don't be reactive or apathetic. That is what is behind most problems of Nigeria. Be proactive and fight to defeat ogres. From now on, screenshot and prove you did no wrong.

Only way to force Seun to remove bigoted, hateful and intolerant mods abusing their power here.

DMerciful:
Tinubu owns Lagos? Not everyone is a coward like you

Bro, sit your frustrated azz down somewhere. No one told you Tinubu owns Lagos. He is a respected decision-maker there. Along with others who even despise GRV more.

That you people continue to delude yourselves you are sizeable does not amount to anything on the ground capable of helping you and your hostile takeover agenda of Lagos you believe the likes of GRV can make a reality.

Gerhards:
Tinubu should go back to his state of Iragbiji and leave Lagos people alone. How many Lagos are in your state?

Lol. Work yourself up as much as you want. Tinubu is the Awolowo of the SW today.

A super citizen of the region that critical-thinking and pragmatic Yorubas respect and trust. Mind your SE business bro. Learn to stay in your lane.

WesleyPepper:
Wait!
Did the effeminate lying Pandora eventually drag Deji Adeyanju to court Abi the 7 days haven’t passed ?
So after all the chest beating , the usual suspects still chickened out as usual . SMH

Lol. Are you surprised given his history? Has Obi ever squared up to anyone like proper men do?

omoredia:
Anybody that is not Benin and to a lesser extent Awori has no historical or cultural claim to Lagos. Anybody doing so is a joker

Are you living in the world of sane, productive, responsible and achieving adults at all?

The bolded would make sense if even a handful of Edo folks control a few influential political and public administration offices of Lagos out of the hundreds existing.

Is there even a single local Government chairman in Lagos of Edo origin? Which kind ownership model, without office or influence, be dis una own "Benin own Lagos" gibberish?

Your senseless talk is how achievers can spot dreamers forming G-Wagon owners in their room when they do not even have a skateboard.

omoredia:
The true Lagosian has spoken

Lol. I think you are confused bro.

Sheuns:
This guy is daring and I love it.

Of course you'd love your kinsman, even when he does what is wrong and to be condemned, instead of noting that the ingrained lack of respect he is operating with will get him nowhere in the SW. That is how you people roll.

Is Tinubu his mate for him to be dragging disrespectfully? Could GRV's dad, claiming 'Omo Eko', have shown face when OBJ gangster politics was taking lives in the SW and Tinubu was the last man standing against the onslaught?

Opposition politics should not be about stupidity and arrant disrespect for those who paved the way and paid their dues heavily as Tinubu has undoubtedly done. Who sanitised SW politics for GRV to now be talking his nonsense?

As I said, those who respect for others, particularly elders meriting commendation, is not part of their culture cannot thrive in Lagos and SW politics. Never.

Didijiji:
how useful is Tinubut and his presidency’ to Nigeria

What good has he done to this nation?

Can Hitler ever adore Jews? Likewise, can I wait around expecting your sort to ever see the good Tinubu is doing?

Mrexcell:
Tinibu is not God anything can happen.

Who is telling you Tinubu is God. He is influential and respected for his fight for Lagos while sole opposition to the PDP in the SW that OBJ wanted to crush and frustrate from 1999. Tinubu fought his fight alone virtually and won.

The man moved Lagos forward despite all the sabotage in ways 99.5% of others would not have been able to do.

Fashola, Ambode and Sanwo Olu, for all their achievements, would not have been able to fight OBJ, continue delivering for Lagos and even create a Party, ACN, that bounced OBJ and his PDP thugs out of the SW. Never. Not their level.

Tinubu is a living legend and his exemplary "against all odds" achievements is what people respect him for. History may mean nothing to you lot and GRV, who is Igbo in my opinion, but Yorubas never forget their champions like Tinubu, Awolowo, Gani Fawehimni etal.

Even if Tinubu is prevented from being the main decision-maker, many influential Lagosians will never allow GRV to be anything in Lagos for his uncouth disrespect towards Yorubas.

What you people don't understand is that Tinubu is actually one of the most liberal and tolerant leaders of Lagos. There are many far more radical, intolerant and disinterested in compromising with the likes of ethnocentric and divisive GRV.

Go and find out those in the GAC of Lagos, Governor's advisory council, to educate yourself. Tinubu this, Tinubu that. What a joke.

You people simplistically think GRV will benefit if Tinubu is suddenly out of the way? It will even be worse for him without Tinubu controlling the hardliners who have taken GRV's arrogance and disrespect very personally. Unlike PBAT.

esnbrutality:
Everybody must not smash his/her head on the ground to worship Tinubu.

All these laptop propagandist sef

GRV is what exactly? Have you ever looked at him critically, profession and achievement-wise, to note he is far below the standard Tinubu empowers into crucial leadership position in Lagos?

GRV is just feeling himself. He is nothing and will never be anything in Lagos politics. Mr."I don't think in Yoruba".

Lanretoye:
As if tinubu is looking for his alignment…I don’t know why bragging and over estimation of capacity flows in some people’s blood.person wey no get one 6” block will be abusing who don build one room

Precisely what I said only for so-called bot to ban me and remove the post (see image above) from view.

Why would Tinubu ever be interested in having the divisive GRV in any leadership position in his beloved Lagos?

Elusive001:
He will soon tax solar users. Wait for it.

Is your prejudice against the PBAT Government, to the extent you will never see or say anything good about it, not obvious from the bolded?

You guys are just toxic beyond redemption. No doubt tariffs has gone up but decent Nigerians cannot deny power supply has improved vastly.

That is because most normal and balanced Nigerians are not hateful and bigoted to the point of sadism and blatant denial of the reality they are experiencing.

bot101:
Oya post links to where the government or NERC mentioned increased electricity generation or even improved distribution. You think power supply magically appears from thin air??

Look, simply state precisely where you live. nairaland has members virtually everywhere. Let them confirm your claim that you alone has not noted much improved power supply in Lagos.

Is GRV now protected specie here also? Otherwise what is offensive in what I wrote below about him to be banned by the "bot" whereas Tinubu gets insulted to high heaven daily without repercussion?

Reverse psychology. You already know Tinubu will never have any interest in allowing an openly bigoted, emotional and prejudiced individual like you become a State or Federal legislator for Lagos let alone Governor. Nonsense. Untalented mediocrity like you. mscheeeew.

bot101:
I have lived in Lagos for the past 5 years, and in my current apartment for the past 3. I live very close to 3MB, so not in the outskirts, and barely see 12 hours of electricity, despite using a prepaid meter and not estimated billing.

I understand that save for one or 2 comments above, all the others are paid hacks designed to push a narrative that does not exist. Electricity has WORSENED over the past 3 years, not improved.

Also, I travelled to Anambra for the 3rd time this year, and no, electricity hasn’t improved AT ALL!

Calm down with the propaganda pieces!!!

Please stop it. Power supply has improved. That is not in dispute.

While you may not be the "paid hack" you accuse of being, despite that you are in the minority by far with your opinion, it is obvious you have your reason for denying the truth majority of Nigerians are testifying to.

Pretty sure the reason is not a good one.

Elusive001:
I am igbo team as usual
See them ooooo. Those who are not proud of their heritage and tribe.

Please how many watts did Tinubu add to power generation to make it stable? So he is disco now abi?


Una and fear eh. You vote tinubu, you no vote him, it is immaterial.

Go and rest. Stop bypassing your meter as you do.

Please try and practice remaining silent sometimes rather than speak to then show ignorance an 8 year old should not be guilty of.

Is it generation alone that gets power into your home? That is your clue and I need say no more. You've embarrassed yourself enough
