The tribalism never even start... Just wait until Lagos State elect a bad conservative person then you see the real tribalism... When you make your visitor too comfortable they start to dey drag your home with you.

See them here
If you ask them what they benefit from tribalism, they can't name anything rather than walking around with bitter hearts and hatred
You will tell me if any Igbo man have dragged your father's house with you, or prevented you from making progress in life

DEXTROVERT:
If PENGASSON and their cohorts aren't saboteurs
While will you write to stop crude and gas supply
To a private refinery
Threaten nation wide strike
Over issues that can cause products volatility
Why not go to industrial court to seek redress
No ultimatum given
All these brags is over a private refinery

Wht message you they passing
To investors

After spending billions to build university
ASUU now drags my lecturers to join
And wants them on strike
Unfortunately this can never happen in any Nigerian private universities
It only happens in oil and gas


I don't reel insults, if you do that as in your previous post, I will have you reported

The same strike is what got you minimum wage, the same strike has been the only language understood in Nigeria
And the same strike will be used get justice for workers sacked unjustly

infohenry:
Please don't even support this pengassan criminals bro this is my industry, this guys are criminals they have caused a lot damage to oil and gas industry in Nigeria. Shell sold all their onshore assets is because of this guys awards all sorts contracts to themselves and cronies declared productive wells non productive turn around sold to their friends. They are evil if dangote want to succeed he must not allow them to occupy strategic positions in his company. NNPC is not working is because of this guys.

Oga it's not your industry. You are talking like a filling station attendant
1. Shell and other similar companies sold their assets because of the cost of security and community interferences. Pengassan members are not even in management talk less of having the power to award contracts

Second nnpc is working. You are the one who doesn't know that refinery is only a part of nnpc.

Lastly pengassan members are not management in any company. Let that sink in
Now continue dispensing fuel. Awon oil industry worker

searchng4love:
Are you minding the lawless and extremely callous organisation?

Shebi he acted on the advice of Indians that see Nigerians as nothing. This time around he faced the wrong people.

zoedew:
PENGASSAN is our enemy and the people must rise up against it. When refineries were not working and their members were being paid for doing no work and our economy was bleeding under the fraudulent subsidy scheme PENGASSAN said and did nothing. Now that a citizen built a refinery and things are getting better they greedily want check off dues from his refinery and are ready to sabotage our economy just for that purpose!

Another ignorance. Most pengassan members have since left the refinery. Infact no pengassan member from nnpc is currently there. Stop saying what you don't know

Pengassan don't need dues from any dangote refinery. That's the wealthiest union in Nigeria you are talking about. You think someone earning 5million per month really needs the dues of a 300k salary earner. Na wa oooo

Very good every sane person must reject the kind of tribalism happening in lagos
Even though certain attitudes of calling a place no man's land should be discouraged, the tribalism there has been taken too far

At the end of the day it's only politicians that will cash out with the division.

orikoku:
It’s the common man that will suffer all this wahala. Those unions should be called to order. Bunch of thieves. As subsidy money is not forthcoming coming they want to turn dangote to atm machine. Criminals

So what type of men were sacked and replaced with Indians? Are they uncommon men?

Did dangote tell you that any union requested for a kobo from him? And what has Pengassan got to do with subsidy money?

This is what apc has turned politics into in this country. Political office holders having no manners at all and can hardly be differentiated from those guys collecting money in the park

sulaak:
If you can't sack useless workers, how can you operate an efficient business?

Look at the state of PH refinery

What made the workers useless?

How what union have to do with ph refinery?

sulaak:
Employment contract is between the business and employee , if your service is not good enough then you will be sacked

Yeah if your service is not good enough

So why didn't he come out with specific failures of each person sacked

Keep supporting injustice, what goes around comes around

DEXTROVERT:
As an investor
You build a very big hospital
Or university
That stabilized the nation

Suddenly ASUU
Said your lecturers should join strike
Or NMA said your doctors shouldn't work.

Let's reason it out
With ASUU /doctors or nurses strikes
Do private universities or hospitals go on strike
Answer is NO
Does it mean they are not protected by their union

PENGASSON NUPENG,
Encroached these guys for reasons best known to upset their employer
They target is to ground things,
Raise the petrol price which is expected in few days so that their petrol station jerk up prices and they make gains from Nigeria as usual

Do you know
These economic sabotage are usually timed when
Things appears better, Naira is stable approaching 1400, Petrol is down 865. LPG 920

Suddenly all PENGASSON leaders filling Station will cause chaos and raise their prices

who suffers, the people
Who gains independent marketers
Its all a set up to maximize gains by same cabals who will never allow a drop of fuel refined from the NNPC

For anyone who thinks Dangote want to monopolize all
Tell PENGASSON and NUPENG
TO build their own refineries and compete not to bring down what is a respite at the moment


Now
For
Any foreign investor in oil and gas especially towards building refineries
Or even mechanized agriculture
How do they get courage seeing how NNPC, PENGASSON, NUPENG, DAPPMAN, IPMAN are dealing with dangote.

NNPC delayed license to start
Later they said dangote fuel has Sulphur
Later they denied their truck drivers
Stopped supply of crude, he had to buy elsewhere
Later stopped naira for crude

Yet
FG
Watches in limbo

@ bolded. That's when dangote choose to defy the law of the country and international laws and sack workers for joining union

2nd NNPC does not give anybody license for anything, you can't write a long epistle of what you don't know

Dangote is owing nnpc a lot of money somewhere

No PENGASSAN leader is in any filling station or has any business or invested interest with any anywhere in this country

Who suffers more? Dangote, the sacked workers, the thousands of Indians replacing Nigeria, the common man, the uncommon man, together in unity we will all suffer for the injustice meted on those sacked workers

NNPC is not Pengassan and pengassan is not nnpc. Why not also call out total, Chevron, nlng, seplat, shell and the rest because their staffs are also pengassan members.

If NNPC refuses to sell crude to dangote, let him buy from total or mobil, or seplat or Chevron they are all crude producers

Go and read your books for next year utme abeg. For your mind now you have written an essay

Injury to those sacked workers is injury to everyone. When we learn to stand up for each other, oppression will end

Educationalserv:
Or you should employ them in your place

When the chips are down you can remind me.

zelnababa:
yeah am a union exco in my company, I have been in union more than twelve years, unionlism is nothing to write home again

Your own union is nothing to write home about. I think that's what a smart person should say. If people on their freewill decided to join pengassan it means they believe in the union

Neoteny:
Excuse me, are you saying if i invest my own money into a corner store, I can't hire and fire the salesgirl at will?

You're also wrong about employment contracts. Most glaring in the conditions is the clause that says "either party can terminate the employment at will".

Unions only exist to ensure the terms of agreement in the contract are dutifully executed for both parties: you earn an honest day's pay for an honest day's work and neither the employer nor employee will cheat the other during the period the contract subsists.

But I can resign my employment at will, and so also can my employer terminate my employment at will.

You keep arguing with Nigerian standards. Why don't you find out what the universal human rights law state about victimizing workers because they joined union?

I can see your mentality bro, pray to work for an organization that understands that they cant hire and fire at will. As it's against human rights. Next time you argue that, refer to what law relates

ArcFresky:
What about the Nigerians buying fuel at 850, now they will buy it at 1000, so you can blame tinubu very well.

So because of that everyone should keep quiet and the unjustly sacked workers should be left to lick their wounds?

Kastonkastroll:
Last last all this back and forth will end on a round table. The man Dangote should know there are rules and regulations guiding the oil industry. You just can't say your workers and your refinery won't join any union simply because you are 'dangote'. From chevron ,shell, totalenergies etc all have members in PENGASSAN.

You do businesses in other African countries and I know you joined some of their unions. But because everything goes in Nigeria you don't want to comply by the guidelines of the oil industry.

The minister of labour should sit these two parties together and resolve this issue.

There is no sitting down anywhere
He should reverse the sack. simple

yarimo:
PENGASSAN and NUPENG are underground criminals against Nigeria and Nigerians parading themselves as union

Your wailing just began
Reserve some more energy for the coming days
Funny enough you cannot stand where over 80% of pengassan members are standing
You think this is ASUU

He is yet to start shedding the real tears. So they should clap for you for sacking their members

And the shedding of tears have just begun
I thought they said pengassan cannot do anything
Small talk ooo, tears everywhere

maiunguwar:
Importing crude is cheaper than importing fuel, crude is refined into many products. Disruption of fuel supply comes with economic and political consequences.

He is wailing on NNPC because he has a validly signed contract with them to supply him crude

Didn't he also sign a contract with those workers he sacked?

Let him import crude let marketers import fuel na, even with the naira sales of crude he is being threatened with imported products talk less of when he now imports crude

Neoteny:
He's a businessman, not a charity. He has the right to hire and fire at will.

They're not entitled to employment

It's only in Nigeria, a capitalist system, that people think like Marxists and Socialists.

He doesn't have the right to hire and fire at will. That mentality is why foreigners are treating us the way they are right in our own country

Employment is a contract between 2 Persons, once that contract is signed, you cannot terminate it carelessly as you wish

Gboss247:
Dangote is fighting BUA tooth and nail while you are preparing to vote in the next bad government in 2027 election

Focus on the issue at hand
When 2027 comes vote your choice

Image123:
Nahh, the UN has no such power, plus it's twisted. Mandating free companies and countries/governments, not to associate with Mr D (mandating non association), because he mandated non association. The irony.

They don't need to mandate or force anyone
The UN ILO conventions are law in over 150 countries. So it becomes illegal to deal with dangote who is known for violating human rights

You think dangote doesn't know all these, why didn't he explicitly state he sacked them because of unionism

You think every country is like Nigeria that doesn't care about human rights violations, go and read the ESG policies of foreign companies and come back

chidiokay:
I didnt say the world ends in my neighborhood Buh believe it or not my neighborhood covers half plot of the world ciao

Then aim to live in the other plot that poverty is not the order of the day

Image123:
It's okay then. BTW, i didn't ask you if UN can do anything to Dangote. No, they cannot.

Obviously you couldn't have included your last sentence, you completely showed your level of exposure. Let dangote be found guilty first, and see how all companies abroad will be mandated to wipe his organization off their supply chain

Image123:
Companies cannot be forced to join a union or have their employees join one; this decision rests with the employers and workers themselves. Dangote will simply recruit people who agree/sign not to join unions. Companies do this all around the world. You cannot hold the country to ransom because of unionism and selling imported goods.
BTW, Dangote has lost billions before, it didn't show. How many Nigerians can afford to lose 10,000 naira without pain? How many can afford a hike in fuel price and the scarcities that will likely follow in a faceoff? ILO or UN cannot force people to join union, please be enlightened.

Nah you are the one who need enlightening because I don't how low I can go to reply what you just wrote there
Pengassan cannot impose unionism on dangote and his workers. At the same time it contravenes human rights laws for dangote to victimize workers who willingly joined union

UN will descend on any employer found victimizing workers because they joined union. because in the universal declaration of human rights, every worker of dangote has freedom to choose to or not to join union without fear of Losing their jobs

And asking me if UN can do anything to dangote, then you need more education

Softmirror:
PENGASSAN that always fights the government for a functional refinery?! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Dangote contravened one of the 7 human rights enshrined in the UN-ILO human rights conventions. This is not a local joke, till pengassan decides to go to UN and seek redress

maiunguwar:
Dangote no send una. He will source his crude from Angola, Ghana, US and the middle east and sell his products in dollars or export them. Na Nigerians go suffer, the more reason Tinubu will lose his reelection

So why has he been wailing on nnpc
And you forgot that he imports crude and sell expensive, marketers then imports fuel and sell cheaper than him. You don't know this game, go and learn

Alaigbo:
Dangote will have his way n you will wail beyond eternity. Tell Inosson to go employ unionist to his own factory.

And who told you Innoson's workers are not in unions?
I hope you will soon be here wailing with dangote when they start. Small nupeng and he was already sweating, talk less of pengassan

I don't sha care about the fact that most workers sacked are yorubas, justice must be served.

chidiokay:
LOLzz,. your neighbourhod naa banana island 🤣 awon pocohantas neighbour

Change my circle for what, so i can live in denial of reality that Majority of Nigerians no get reach 300k for account ... when i am talkin reality its only reasonable i talk about the masses/People not myself
if i spend 98k on martell swift it is meaningless ... many Nigerians dont even see that in a month to feed .. i wont change that level of thought cos its the damn truth

Victimization and an dissociation are two different things, Dangote as an establishment dissociates from unionism .... the case of victimization is not admissible cos all staffs are affected i am sorry your reasoning is not Rich come clean

I told you what I told you, if you like think the world ends in your neighborhood

xtivin:
He who has the power to hire has the right to fire…

Same as asking me who has the right to born and whom had the right to kee
