The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) led by Ayuba Wabba says they will proceed with its planned strike despite this morning's injunction by the National Industrial Court restraining organized labor from embarking on its planned strike action tomorrow May 18th.
The head of information of NLC, Benson Upah, in an interview with TheCable said “NLC’s position has not shifted. The strike will go on tomorrow,” he said.
When asked if he could be quoted, he said: “Quote me, the strike will go on tomorrow.”
The leadership of NLC say the take-off point for workers in Abuja is at the NLC secretariat by 8am.
*Hmmmmm I hope that this is not hijacked by groups seeking something else tomorrow,I hope for the sake of God,this does not turn bloody.I pray to GOD that no lives will be lost tomorrow and if yes,let it be minimal and let this not lead to anything that will make the masses suffer more!!!
GOD please pick my call.
Amen
ReplyDeleteThe pipo wey go DIE r marked already, no need to preach! If them wan avoid death, mk them siddon for house, they go carry placards dey waka waka, meanwhile d ogas at d top go go back collect egunje! Rubbish
DeleteBut the Ajaero led faction says there's no strike.
ReplyDeleteI hope embarking on strike would yield a fruitful result, if not they should just cancel it.
ReplyDeleteSo this is a compulsory holiday then.
It would yield nothing
DeleteThe FG is not handlin this issue in d ryt way.They were suppose to continue negotiation with nlc/tuc dis afternoon but,bfor that time they quickly went to national industrial court seekin restrainin order against nlc.Haba! Now they are threatenin to use security operatives to fight nlc tomorrow.This islike a military regime to me wia dey use guns to force the masses against dia wish.Just that bcos we r in democracy and dey culdnt use guns they r now usin word of mouth and threats on the masses.This is unfair FG!
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with the FG going to the court. That is why the Industrial Court was formed, to settle trade disputes. I work for a highly unionised PRIVATE company and once when management sought redress at the industrial court, judgement was ruled in the favour of the staff.
DeleteThe Ajaero-led faction has decided to negotiate. Good for the ordinary Nigerian. If not, na suffer and die for some people. The Wabba-led faction just dey find settlement in the midst of the chaos.
I'm happy about this strike action, Stella Nigerians are suffering, things are difficult, no light, no water, fuel is 145, tomatoes 3 for #200. Much as I want the buhari led administration to work eeeh, people are suffering.. I was in the market today and I stood in one place for a Long time not knowing what or how to negotiate with sellers; it had now reach the time when both buyers and sellers just stares at each other in the market place.
ReplyDeleteNorthern Muslims will not join, their "God" is the president.
DeleteHow is tomatoes the govts fault. It you are educated enough to be on social media, please read news beyond blogs and enlighten yourself
DeleteRich woman, still buying tomatoes. Me that has given up on stew. It's white rice Nd egg, or struggle peppersoup. I cannot come ND go Nd sell my destiny because of tomatoes
DeleteJenny dear, use pepper and bell pepper to make your stew. Taste isn't different with or without tomatoes. Somebody cannecone and die abeg
DeleteJenny oooo... I just laugh yakata
DeleteIf you reads more news beyond the blogs, you will know that scacity of tomatoes is not the government's fault. Even Dangote's factory couldn't get tomatoes in kano because all the tomatoes farms have been infected by a pest.
DeleteAnon 1.27, the educated goat. We have seen u professor. If we check deeply, am sure we will find out that u can't even afford anything in ur miserable life but u are here cussing out people. Hide your anonymous face and shut up! This Govt has failed

DeleteNa them know
ReplyDeleteAnd let the strike begin!!! Hehehehe. 145 per litre is just too much, habaa!!! I know they'll reduce it to 120 so black market can sell for 150. We r watching
ReplyDeleteYes... 👏👏👏👏👏👏 go Labour! go Labour!! Go Labour!!! Father may there be no lost of life during the protest IJN Amen!
ReplyDeleteWhy will the Court restrain them? The FG have gone too far abeg. It will be unfair to gej if the strike is cancelled.
DeleteStrike wey no go get head.
ReplyDeleteLabour congress! better don't go on any strike o! Nobody is ready for that o, na person wey eat well they protest.
ReplyDeleteThis is not GEJ's regime where food was readily available n very affordable too, at least after eating to your satisfaction, you were able to rant, call him names and carry placards.
They are not even speaking in one voice. Disorganized labour union.
ReplyDeleteLet pray something reasonable comes out of the strike
ReplyDeleteImagine @ 25 i have never been in a relationship that lasted for 3 months, its not as if am not good looking. They say its spirit husband & I've gone for deliverance severally. Hmmmmmm well just still hoping on God anyway.
ReplyDeleteDrop pin asap
DeleteU need to work on ur mindset dear, the bible says we are born of incorruptible seed. Once u are born again, u live above all that. Just set your mind right and keep on saying u attract the right kind
DeleteNo spirit husband anything,i think is just about the way you carry your self.if u go meet pastor and e nak u abeg no come Hera come cry o!
DeleteChai I am so happy ooo 4 ddis strike oooo, I need to be with hubby. Jos here I come oooo.
ReplyDeleteMy dear the strike Sweet me seff wella
DeleteI was wondering why the FG is trying to suppress the voice of the masses by restraining the NLC from going on strike. For cring out loud, this is the democratic era. Are we supposed to shut up when we are being oppressed, when there is so much suffering in the land? N145 per litre of fuel is imposed on us and we are supposed to swallow it line, hook and sinker without any negotiation? If Nigerians allow this to just slip by, I foresee more dictatorships in the nearest futre. So, the youths of Bauchi state can protest in support of the removal of subsidy while The NLC does not have a right to protest? I'm in total support of this strike o
ReplyDeleteThnk u o! Exactly what i said up dia? They want us to die in silence.God forbid!
DeleteAll of u in support make sure u don't sit @ home and support. Go to d streets ooo... Ehnnn
DeleteThis Buhari led govt is dictatorial, vengeful, vindictive and scurrilous.
ReplyDeleteI go with you on this one.
DeleteOde ni tambolo yi sha!
DeleteTaaaa.... Gbafuo dia anu mpama anonymous 09:54. Ewu di ka gi.Gini ka I ma di. Onyeara iberibe!
DeleteYaaaay, no work!!!!!! hmmmm, but I kinda pity those patients in the ward doh. What will become of them.*sobs* Yaaaay!!! No work. *Dances shoki*
ReplyDeleteWe will begin to honor the courts when FG starts honoring court orders.. "Nnamdi Kanu, Dasuki" etc. Nigeria is gradually heading to anarchy, lawlessness..
ReplyDeleteYou forgot FFK..
DeleteIn my opinion, we live in a country where our government wants us to make painful sacrifices while all the politicians smile to the bank and an average Nigerian cry to death because of lack of funds to go about their day to day activity. I was even expecting the FG to implement a higher minimum wage and then remove the subsidy. They say oh we can't afford to pay 56k because it's unrealistic but on the other hand they can afford to pay a senator salary to the tune of millions in a month.. if I were to see President Buhari today..i will tell him to slash these senators and co's salaries and increase an average Nigerian salary and lets see those that will still choose to stay and SERVE the people. We have been cheated for long and my heart is saddened by the actions of our selfish leaders. People who are supposed to be our mouthpiece and advocates..How can someone earning 18k in a month get to work and perform as he ought to..when he can't even take care of himself with the meager amount let alone a wife and children..
ReplyDeleteThe best comment I have read so far
DeleteThank you,we are fighting for a non issue. This shld b what d youth shld b agitating for. Slash in their salaries that is the main thing. Dey shld Shake body too. This is d main thing,slash deir own benefits. That is what a good leader does. I am pro Buhari but u can't make things hard for d masses and still enjoy ur own luxury. U must also gv up something.
DeleteChop knuckle Omobola. Take high five too.
DeleteThere is no strike.NLC is divided wth two faction u can see d hand writing on d wall.
ReplyDeleteDivide and conquer tins
DeleteLet's watch. But I doubt it will take place. NLC is currently a house divided against itself.
ReplyDeleteGood morning my country people with love from Ekosodin
Pls does dis strike affects everything including movement,buying & selling?so mkt will nt open & sch pls let me kn cos ddn't buy anything in d house o.pls hw does it work help
ReplyDeleteBuhari is just clueless dis tomato scarcity was caused by him. Ask me y? He closed d borders so d people couldnt export tomato like dey use to now dey dont have moni to plant tomato. So how do u expect tomato to be cheat. I hope dis strike will yield positive results since d banks are also join in nlc in d strike. God help us
ReplyDeleteBuhari closed d borders.... God u ppl,if u want to generate propaganda pls think of a reason that wld hold enuf water. Abeg this reasoning is completely flawed. I can pick out all the reasons why this isn't d cause of tommatoes scarcity. Wetin...
DeleteIt is our govt that is trying to manipulate us all, we are not in a dictatorship and not all hands are equal, why are they getting a restraining order on the strike if not that they have hidden agendas
ReplyDeleteMtcheeewww....
