The strangulating inflation, prohibitive prices of goods and services and the poor performance of the Naira in the exchange market are all signposts of a faulty leadership foisted on Nigerians.This assertion was made by a former chairman of the Oyo state council of the Trade Union Congress(TUC), Comrade Andrew Emelieze.
''The inflation in the country has brought about untold hardships, sufferings and difficulties for millions of Nigerians, coupled with the poor showing of the Naira in the exchange market. All these are credible indicators that faulty leadership has been foisted on Nigerians and the World Bank knows this fact and is utilizing it to the fullest. It is very glaring in all sectors of the economy,''Comrade Emelieze stated.

Not for Sale

The Holy spirit's work is a gift of God that is freely given on the basis of faith and faith only.
His Spirit is given to us to accomplish His purposes, not ours.
The Spirit cannot be bought or bargained for.
Acts 8 : 9-25
11And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.
15Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:
17Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
19Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.
21Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.
23For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.

Government should account for workers' housing funds deducations-Comrade Emelieze

The Federal Government has been called upon to account for the deductions of the National Housing Fund from workers' salaries.
This call was made by a former chairman of the Oyo state council of the Trade Union Congress(TUC), Comrade Andrew Emelieze.
''The National Housing Funds deductions from the salaries of workers has been non-functional as workers do not have access to the loans as a result of the stringent conditions attached to the loans. The government should account for the deductions, otherwise the widespread feeling is that the NHF is a ploy to swindle workers of their hard-earned money,''Comrade Emelieze stated.
Similarly, the N35,000 wage award cannot solve the problems workers are presently experiencing.
This assertion was made by a former chairman of the National Union of Allied Health Professionals(NUAHP) University College Hospital(UCH)Ibadan, Nigeria, Comrade Olusegun Sotiloye.
There is no way that N35,000 can alleviate the sufferings of workers. It is a drop in the ocean. How can N35,000 be enough for one using a car and buying 10 litres at N600.00 per litre, calculate the cost of this for one week. What about workers without cars, they spend as much as N2,000 per day on transportation. N35,000 is not enough to take care of transportation. The wage award is a good gesture, but it is not what will solve the myriad of problems brought about by the fuel subsidy removal, Comrade Sotiloye stated.

For the Impact of Education to be felt in Nigeria
- On 14/12/2023
- In Happenings
The attitude, behavior and activities of millions of Nigerians are crucial to the visibility of the positive impact of education on their lives.
Even when the whole annual budget, once the needful by Those-in-authority is not done, salvaging the deteriorated standard of education would just be an exercise in futility.
The open display of lawlessness, indiscipline, criminality and evil in different parts of the country are pointers to the unwavering fact that education is yet to achieve its purpose in Nigeria.

The Truth is Censored in Nigeria-CEO Jagaban
- On 11/12/2023
- In Happenings
The harsh and problematic economic environment in Nigeria has made the media industry vulnerable to censorship.
This assertion was made by the Chief Executive Officer(CEO) of Jagaban Communications International, Mr. Samuel Adenitan.
''The bad state of the economy has negatively affected the media industry. The industry is vulnerable. It has suffered greatly in this dispensation. Owners of media outlets are finding it increasingly difficult to operate and stay afloat. In Nigeria, we censor the truth. Any country that censors the truth will not be taken seriously. We have good laws, but the effectiveness of the laws constitutes a problem. In Nigeria, the truth is censored.

2024 Budget-Govt ought to make provision for New national Minimum Wage-Comrade Emelieze
- On 02/12/2023
- In Happenings
The Federal Government ought to make provision for a new national minimum wage in the 2024 appropriation bill presented to both chambers of the National Assembly.
This assertion was made by a former chairman of the Oyo state council of the Trade Union Congress(TUC), Comrade Andreww Emelieze.
''It is disturbing that the details of the 2024 appropriation bill were not made public, but the Federal Government ought to make provision for a new national minimum wage in the bill, if it is truly sensitive to the difficulties and hardships Nigerians are passing through. As at today, the N35,000 wage award cannot buy a bag of rice. In addition, the government has only paid the wage award once since it commenced payment to federal workers,'' Comrade Emelieze stated.
Similarly, health workers in Nigeria have expressed the hopes that their new salary scale would be included in the 2024 budget.
The health workers made this known through a member of the National Executive Council(NEC) of the Non-Academic Staff Union and Associated Institutions(NASU) Comrade Kehinde Abiona, who is also the chairman of the union in the University College Hospital(UCH)Ibadan, Nigeria.
''It is somehow disheartening that the reviewed CONHESS and CONMESS are yet to be implemented. The approved salary scale for health workers took effect from June 1st, 2023, but financially nothing has happened. We hope that the renewed hope agenda will not leave behind harmony in the health sector,'' Comrade Abiona concluded.
