Labour, FG Meeting Ends Without A Deal

 
 NLC president, Gov Amaechi and others

Labour and the TUC again met with FG yesterday Saturday January 14th and failed to reach compromise to end nationwide strike over ga prices. The strike continues tomorrow.

What a stubborn government. I'm so ashamed.

  8. d truth is even Jonathan,Madueke, Okonjo n the rest of the gang has no interest n do not believe in nigeria. they r just there to steal their own share as our past govt did.
    If these people believe in nigeria, why is patience flying to u.k for medical checkup? why didnt she use general hospital maitama? why is diezani buying a house for 1.4billion naira in far away vienna where they refer to her country nigeria as "hungerland" and of which her neighbour who owns another massive property besides hers is former OPEC chairman lawani...
    u see, these people r just makin policies that can earn them more funds to loot.
    ohhh! they forget that all of these are earthly riches. just a thin line btwn life n death.
    i pray for their souls.

  9. Mr President!!! We Know
    1) We know that Deziani Allison Madueke Minister for Petroleum is your mistress.
    2) We know that her sister is the mother of your two children (and not Patience)
    3) We know what you do in your private meetings
    4) We know how Patience slapped her at an event in Aso Rock, for sleeping with you.
    5) We know how she charged on petroleum products to finance your campaign.
    6) We know that she gave Chris Aire and co allocation to lift Nigerian crude
    7) The most annoying thing that we know Mr President is that you don't think that we Know that diezani has washed her yansh n given u d water to drink reasons why u are heady not to lift this burden off nigerians n better the nation.

  16. I sympathize with all Nigerians concerning oil deregulation. I am convinced this is a divine call for Nigerians to be committed to Nigerian state. What do I mean by this? Let me give an analogy here—let’s say we have three brothers that inherited a property from their father. The three of them got married and had many children-having many generations. Imagine a situation where these families: none contributed anything to maintain the property. They are only collecting proceeds from that property, whether buildings or business; it will fail. If I invested my money in a business, I will work hard to protect that business and prayers concerning that business will also work. How many Nigerians pay their taxes? They only seek for what the country will do for them. Everybody is in a kind of a queue waiting for their turn to loot the country. Most large, small and personal businesses desire to do business with government establishments, because of huge sums of money that could accrue from such contracts. Many of us are involved in this fraud against Nigerian state. How many have been given appointment by the government and they stopped criticizing government of that time; right from the military era it started-late Tai Solarin of community bank, Wole Soyinka of federal road safety corps, Levi Ajuonuma currently the PRO of NNPC, what of Reuben Abati the media adviser to the president. Politicians are not left out of this, especially those ones that did not win elections- pastor bakare is a typical example.
    If we had something at stake we will protect our investment in Nigerian state. That we are oil producing nation does not mean everybody should go to sleep and wait for the government. When we pay our taxes in form of this deregulation of oil sector; we now have a say in the governance of the country. We now have right to question maladministration of any level of government. Public amenities must be provided--electricity, good roads, hospitals and water. That the Governor of Lagos state is doing well is because of his commitment in educating the Lagosians on the need to pay various levies and taxes. Many developed countries operate a system where the citizens contribute to the welfare of their countries both intellectually and financially (in form of tax). Government is being put on their toes to deliver; if not they should wait for the wrath of the people. My advice to all aggrieved Nigerians concerning hike in fuel price is to exercise patient. Let us give the government at least one to two years to find out what the fund that accrued from the deregulation would be used for. If our expectation from the government is contrary, then we could hold the government at their jugular. May be by then Nigerian people would be more responsive to forcing government to account for any misappropriation of public fund and in turn being more responsible.

  24. No Jonathan is not stubborn he offered to install subsidy at N100 Labour said no it must be N65. If he was really stubborn he would've insisted on no fuel subsidy, but he gave ground. It's called compromise.

  26. Its really high time u guys know that nlc/tuc are not fighting for the masses they are fighting for their pockets.
    They said d r carrying the mandate of the people, y didn't they fight back wen minimuim wages were not implemented WHY???
    There is more to it behind closed doors. My anger is that it is we d masses that are the "grass" where the elephants fight. Nlc said " the meeting wasn't a deadlock but a compromise wasn't reached" what does that mean?
    They use the masses for their selfish agenda. We have to also understand that there are strong forces greater than this Government which only prayers can breakdown.may God intervene in all this.
