So lagos was receiving its allocation for those months abi? who dey lie now, how do you differentiate seize from withheld?

Monthly allocation due to LASG was never seized. Lagos got all her monthly allocation as at when due like other states. Only the LGA allocation that was seized and it's for some months.. That was during the 2nd tenure of OBJ administration. Go and check your facts very well.. LASG even went to court because of it..

Only 5 years They should make it at least 18 years.. Haba

Good to see that most southerners are gradually waking up from their slumber.. I'm not surprised that some northern senators who spoke are against/ partially in support of the bill... We the SE and SS are in total support of the bill. The zone producing the oil should own 60% of the oil blocks and others should share the remaining %40.. State governments of the oil producing state should also own at least one oil block.. I'm 100% in support of the bill.

Goke7:
Am actually see this as a great opportunity for Nigeria right now to get off oil. years ago it took Obj to deny lagos state its monthly allocation for the state to begin to think internally and today Lagos is the only state that does not need FG allocation to survive and pay its workers regularly. If obj had not been that cruel, perhaps Lagos would have been owing many months salary like other states, forget the economic capital ish, states like delta, akwa ibom and rivers should be giving Lagos a run for its money if they know what they are doing and are thinking inwardly like Lagos state.

Now is the time for Nigeria to get off oil if we are truly serious, oil is not a renewable resource in the first place, if many of the developed countries today are not oil producing nations so what's our problem, even african countries like kenya, ethiopia before we even talk about south africa are not oil producing nations yet they have functioning national air carriers that are world class.

Nigeria wake up, Life is not all about oil. This is our last opportunity to get off oil finally.

OBJ never seized Lagos State monthly allocation. He only withhold LGA allocation for some months.. make una de lie with the fear of God na.. Haba

Shame on zoo JTF

Coal is pure carbon.
Though in its raw state it has impurities, of which hydrogen may be a part.

coal is pure carbon, then it has impurities which contains hydrogen.. What then is hydrocarbon?

And the escalation has started..

OBAGADAFFI:
I know coal is part of hydrocarbon.

The hydrocarbon i am talk about is petroleum and natural gas.

Alright..

OBAGADAFFI:
@op coal is the largest source of energy.
From US to China more than 40 percent of their electricity energy come from coal.

Nigeria should forget this [b]hydrocarbon [/b]and focus on coal.

Is coal not hydrocarbon?

HurtgenForest:
it is dayokanu not ilugunboy

You are right.. Ilugunboy na aressa... But Op, you should add General Adisa to this thread with those video. Both set a world record

Anabel:
Smart dialogue. Let them feel you wanna take action but you won't take it. mind you, it was when Nigerians started complaining of the whole point of the strike, that was when NLC added increment of the minimum wage to the list of their discussions.

So how should they make FG feel they wanna take action?... And for minimum wage, that's a fat lie.
NLC tabled the issue of minimum wage increase to 56k on May 1st, worker's day, get your records right. And what did the FG said? How many times did they invite them for dialogue about it? How many times in the history of Nigeria has FG invited NLC for talk on workers welfare if not when they embark on strike?..
You people should just stop attacking/antagonizing NLC, I don't know who you are working for but I can assure you that you are shooting yourself on the foot by setting a bad precedence.. By the way, all government workers are already praying for the strike to come so that they can at least rest.. If you are not on a fixed salary, you won't understand what is happening..

Firgemachar:
I am a regular caller at Ladipo and I see them everytime.
Now, more and more of them have been mobilised to protect the yeasterners from reprisals.

Mouth action Let Igbos catch those Omoniles there and they will be lynched as criminals which they are..

Firgemachar:
Security personnel wont allow then in daytime.

Which security personnel? .. You guys should give it up already haba

So Yorubas fled and are planning to retaliate at night? LWKMD .. I think for peace to rain, Ambode should ban all this Omonile and introduce a tax payment system via POS and of course, receipt should be issued after payment. We will always pay what ever the LASG asked us to pay. But paying money to jobless criminals that calls themselves Omonile, it's a no no

Anabel:
This is not about supporting APC, this is about seeing NLC for the fraud they are. Where have they been all these months that people have been working with no salaries. Where were they when NUPENG and PENGASSAN were holding Nigerians for ransom in the name of not supplying oil. When anything happens, the unions will just believe that all they have to do is punish the masses and the masses will complain to the govt. They only see the masses when they see something they wanna sink their greedy teeth into quickly. It won't work. If no one goes to work, they should be sacked. There are too many unemployed people in this country for some people to start talking about sitting at home

So in your own view, what do you think NLC should do to ameliorate the suffering of the masses, and in what way should they go about it? Mind you, NUPENG is not in support of the strike but PENGASSAN is in support of it. NUPENG is not in support because they are already mounting FG to increase their (NUPENG) minimum wage to 90k/month..

seunmsg:
I am strongly against the fuel price hike but the proposed strike action by NLC and TUC is not the way forward. The labour movement should engage the government constructively instead of declaring a strike that we all know won't be effective due to the factionalisation of NLC.


Labour should use this opportunity to negotiate for a meaningful reduction in the pump price, substantial increase in minimum wage and the immediate payment of all outstanding promotion arrears and 28 days allowances instead of embarking on a fruitless strike action.

How will NLC negotiate for a meaningful reduction in the pump price, substantial increase in minimum wage and the immediate payment of all outstanding promotion arrears and 28 days allowances if they did not go on strike? Is it not when they embark on strike, then FG will invite them on a roundtable talk/negotiation?... Sometimes I don't understand how you APC supporters reason.. You have been vocal in support of NLC but recently, you are gradually shifting ground because you feel you are on your own.. Man up and stand by what you believe in..

The animal should be locked away for insulting insulting Igbos, let him rot away there. I don't give a damn..

Are the schools tuition free?
If yes,its a good gesture.If not,its subsidy of a commercial concern and clearly wrong.

Go and mind your Osun state and get da fvck out here, your advice is not needed... Thank you!

iflywithbuhari:
Don't mind him. And the Moderators won't do anything about it. But if it was from a PDP sympathiser, they would be so quick to issue a 3weeks ban. All fingers are not equal on Nairaland.

Don't mind him.. Just keep doing what you are doing, at least you are not violating any NL rule. If he threaten you again, we will deal with him.

dustmalik:
Because you enjoy anonymity online, you believe you can keep saying rubbish, right?

Is that suppose to be a threat or what?

Until tomorrow before I will know what to say.. Na Sidon look I de for now

Hmmmm FG should handle this guys carefully.. Military solution is not the best approach, ask OBJ..

MVLOX:
We are saying same tin.... My point is that they should take a stand... And that is for an increment in minimum wage... Since the government is now free from the burdens of subsidy

The problem is that the government refused to come clean.. Osinbajo came out to say that they've not removed subsidy rather, the increment was as a result of oil importers sourcing their FX from parallel market. According to them, the new fuel pump price was calculated based on N290/$ so, what that means is the if the FX price keep increasing, the fuel pump price will keep increasing. Another angle is that the FG placed a cap of N145 on pms and my question is, what if the oil importers source their FX at a higher rate and will not be able to make profit on N145 pms cap, what are they (both FG & oil marketers) gonna do? .... If they refuse to import, that means bigger fuel scarcity is looming.. In fact the whole thing is shrouded in secrecy and so, the FG must come clean.

MVLOX:
NLC should just focus on using this opportunity to get a higher pay package for workers rather than asking for a reverse in pump price....for all knw the pump price matter can always come down in the future....

How will they focus on higher pay package? Is it not through this strike, then FG will call them for negotiation and there, they will reach a compromise.. Mind you, NLC condition to FG is either they increase minimum wage to N56,000 or reduce the fuel pump price.. I am with NLC ..

Very good.. The strike must go on. N145/litre is wickedness ... FG should rather fix the price at N100/ltr

We have swamps everywhere in my village(Ebonyi State), and it's only used for rice cultivation..

Enahi:
The Avengers should better watch it, the Federal Government is seriously on their case. Am sure some of those guys or their supporters are on nairaland, you will be located through your IPs.

No be only IP's.. You are too slow. Wake up, this 21st century..

Most tomatoes you see in Lagos are coming from Cameroon and Benin republic.. So the lie that the north is supplying tomatoes is already stale..
