A heavy clash occurred at the Chief Magistrate court, Mpape, Abuja earlier today between some lawyers and police officers over the detention of two lawyers and relatives of Senator Dino Melaye.
PoliticsNGR gathered that David Amaefula and Pius Udo-Inyang, who are of the law firm of Messrs Rickey Tarfa & Co. Abuja Office, were on Tuesday, April 24 and 25 arrested by men of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) office Guzape after they were dispatched to the Zankli Medical Centre, Mabushi, Abuja to secure justice for Senator Melaye, who was being admitted there.
Two other persons including a cousin to Melaye and his friend were also arrested during the raid. Magistrate Zubairu on Monday granted the defendants bail in the sum of N200,000 and one surety each in like sum, adding that the sureties must be resident in the FCT.
All hell broke loose when over 50 armed policemen deployed in the court attempted to seize placards from protesting lawyers. The over 100 lawyers in the court premises resisted the move.
The police officers then encircled the lawyers and demanded that they leave the court premises. This attracted stiff opposition from the lawyers. Watch the footage below;
Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, former Vice- President on Monday said the current N18,000 minimum wage currently being paid to workers by the federal government is not only ill-motivating but embarrassing .
In his May Day message to Nigerian workers, Atiku, who is a presidential aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) noted that Nigerian workers are going through the most trying economic times in Nigeria’s history.
The statement reads in full “Nigerian workers, I congratulate you for this day. I salute your courage and resilience going through one of the most trying economic times in Nigeria’s history. But these challenges are showing how resilient and hardworking Nigerians are and that your indomitable spirit and work ethic will continue to go unchallenged throughout all of Africa.
These values have been the bedrock of Nigeria’s labour movement since its beginning. A movement which started off to protect the welfare of railways workers and later coal miners in the days of colonial administrations in Nigeria. A movement that has grown in height and status as the single largest rights protection organization, representing not less than sixty million workers in our country.
Owing to the sheer size of its membership, the labour movements in Nigeria – under the umbrellas of the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress – have evolved to become the pivot of governments’ objectives of delivering good governance and providing higher standard of living.
Over the years, our labour movements have negotiated higher wage regimes for the Nigerian worker and it (labour) has remained a key component in the consideration for how much Nigerians pay on fuel and energy consumption. These are noble ideals that have ensured that Nigerians have more disposable income – an important safeguard for the kick-start of a prosperous economy.
Having been in government at a high level and being a private sector player with thousands of Nigerians on the payroll of my companies mean that I have seen first-hand the needs of workers both in the private and public sectors and the importance of the labour movement. But as I have stated throughout my adult life, true federalism and a proper decentralization of resources and functions away from the government at the center to the governments at the state tier of our governmental structure is key to providing the labour force what they need and deserve. I believe that our federal government will become smarter when it is smaller and more flexible in addressing the needs of our labour force.
But we must have tangible solutions to address the needs of our incredible and talented labour force. Let’s engage our leaders on the following:
1. Minimum wage: It is my firm belief that whoever works should be adequately rewarded. The reward of a service well rendered is a reasonable wage that can keep the earner sensibly motivated to put in his best. The minimum wage of ₦18,000 per month (less than $50), as is currently obtained in the country, considering the current economic reality is not only ill-motivating but embarrassing.
My advice to IPOB defenders is to call IPOBS in US to order before buhari tells Trump that they are terrorist to avoid imprisonment and deportation. Israel will deny them and they can only become animal in Nigeria zoo
Asowari: why? Wen Fulani herdsmen are on a killing spree and yet they are not call terrorist
Did I not said PMB should tell Trump that IPOB are terrorist. look at this one here giving example of herdsmen killings as if they are not same criminals IPOB = criminal
Angelfrost: You really should spend more time on your studies and grammar, and less time hating an ethnic group. Even your attempt at pidgin is barely readable, nor intelligible. This is a friendly counsel, and before you type further blunder in an attempt to reply, am not from that ethnic group you loathe so much.
lol grammarian
point of correction, you can be my friend if you are IGBO but if you are IPOB, there must have blood of criminality therefore, I don't have a criminal as friend
IPOB IPOB IPOB!!!! THEM CAUSE UNA WITH CRIME GO YOUR ISRAEL WEY YOU COME FROM AND STOP EMBARRASSING US
TO ALL OTHER IPOBS ANYTIME YOU ARE ARREST FOR CRIMINAL CASES IN ANOTHER MANS LAND, JUST TELL THE YOU ARE FROM IPOB. IF YOU TELL THEM YOU ARE FROM NIGERIA, NA THUNDER GO FIRE UNA
HigherEd: THIS IS AN EVIL GOVERNMENT -Bishop David Oyedepo
*Says ‘I don’t know how a believer will sit down in any place of authority (in Nigeria) and be looking like Mumu’. * Adds ‘We Never had it so bad’. *Insists ‘I warned you but you never heard’.
In the words of Bishop Oyedepo:
‘Now all this boko haram in the name of Fulani herdsmen, the power of God will blast them. I say to them.....Too Late!
Shooting people in the Church! Their generation will be forgotten. Killing the Priests of God! Everyone of them will end up in shame.
This is an evil government! I curse them-everyone (at the root of) this evil. I curse them in Jesus name. Everyone of them is silenced.
Everyone that won’t let the Church rest. Everyone that won’t let the nation rest. Their rest is taken from them. 1 Chronicles 20:12,23-24. In the name of Jesus, this gangup will fail’.
Continuing, he said:
In Benue today where the 2 Priests were killed, not everyone will go to Church because a troubler or troublers are coming. They will be looking up and down. Every force sent to trouble the Church, God will trouble them.
This is an Islamic uprising, this is a strategic jihad. Herdsmen have always been here.
In 2006, my keynote speech was-A wake up call to a nation on the brink of collapse.
I have said it before-if you are not angry with the wicked, you are wicked. God is angry with the wicked everyday. The peace of those promoting this wickedness, God is taking away. Their supplies shall dry up. Nigeria shall not see war.
There is no day this country called Nigeria will become an Islamic State-Never! It is impossicant! There is no day when Nigeria as one nation will become an Islamic nation. Write it down...
Everybody be warned, whether in power or not in power. There is no day Nigeria will become an Islamic nation and remain one nation.
When Armed Robbers come to your house, do you take permission from government to attack them?
We are not just believers, we are soldiers of Christ. We are not dummies. We are spiritual soldiers. Everyone who won’t let this nation Nigeria rest/take them out (prayers).
Jeremiah 29:7
Now they are defending the rights of herdsmen against genuine farmers, you run your cattle on my farm to graze-and you still kill me on top of it. It has never been this bad.
I warned you before but you never heard.
Today PVC are no longer available. People line up from morning to night-no PVC. What a wicked system.
I don’t know how a believer will sit down in any place of authority and be looking like ‘Mumu’ said the man of God.
He was one of those that sold the rotten egg called Buhari to Nigeria. Why can't Obasanjo and the other older Nigerians holding this country hostage just go away?
Obasanjo is as useless as Buhari.
Igbo are the root of Nigerian problem, if the first coup was not carried out, solders would not have had stake in Nigerian government
Gerrard59: That's not an explanation. Next time reason properly before attempting to lie to the world that it's possible to learn a language using another language.
Gerrard59: Until you tell me how you want to teach children another language using Hausa or teach them different subjects using a language that's not Nigeria's official language.
When you learnt French in secondary school (assuming you did), what language was it taught? English or French? How can you learn a language by using another language? If it's mathematics or physics, it's possible and to an extent is right. But teaching English using Hausa?
You're a cretin!

go and repair what is faulty in your skull after that we can contnue
zoba88: Governor Ayodele Fayose on his way from the funeral service of Late Chief Jegede Johnson Ajayi at Odo-Oro Ekiti sighted this Gari producing factory in Ikole Ekiti and decided to associate with them.
The governor played with workers there and blessed their pockets to the admiration of all before taking his leave.
Fayose my guy don't worry when IPOB eventually get Biafra you will be their president and withs garri skill you learn you will train their youths so that they will not be lazy ipob youth
James4424: You have to understand that these countries don't have tribal languages like us in Africa . yes the mother tough is best . if so then the Igbo's , Yoruba's and others will learn with there own mother tough . this will cause confusion in a country that is suppose to unite. English is that unity language, it is like that for many countries. The hauses if you know them are nonchalance and reluctant to learn English because it is a western language they prefer Arabic . it is this way in many Muslim countries . I can't tell you why they hate western culture . but its mostly a thing of religion, they believe that if they learn English they are giving in to Christianity.
P.s . Arabic is foreign language but an hause man will learn it will JOY.
My brother I like part of you post. religious apart, sentiment apart. using our language will work well especially in yoruba and northern landa
in waec as example you know the languages we study then.
Am not saying we should not have a unified language (english) but teaching english with our language will make us understand it better
take indians for example with their differncies in their language they still have offiicial language.
In havard they are using english to teach yoruba am even afraid thqt the white will soobe teaching us yoruba and be taking money from us
Angelfrost: You just insult people when they reason far superior to you. That's just childish. He made absolutely valid, and salient points. English language is what unites this country, and the universe to a large extent. This is part of the reasons, why the North continues to draw the entire nation backward. Learn to read comprehensively, and while you are at it, learn some manners.
Firstly, am sure you are not blind to read that he started with insult, Secondly, your arogancy should not block you from coming accross as post testifying to benefit of using our language lastly you must have just escape from beatings of gorillas
if it is not possible in your region, this is what yourubas and northernersnug can easily enjoy and it will work perfectly
Onechancearmy: You people should think first before embarassing yourselves with patently unintelligent comments.
All the countries you mentioned are not multi-ethnic in nature like Nigeria. They can use their indigenous languages without inconveniencing anyone because everyone speaks the language.
Countries that are large and have many ethnic nationalities(Nigeria, United States, Russia etc) usually adopt a single language for ease of integration.
Nigeria has over 400 ethnic groups. If everyone decides to speak his own language, it will be a recreation of the Tower of Babel.
The only way this native tongue policy can be fully implemented is for everyone to go his own way and establish his own country. But if anyone talks about separation you Almajiris will be the first ones to cry a bucket of tears.
