The rise in the cases of kidnappings in Nigeria have been attributed to the inability of the government at all levels to emancipate the people economically.

This is the position of a former chairman of the Oyo state council of the Trade Union Congress, Comrade Andrew Emelieze.

''When the government at all levels are unable to empower Nigerians economically, those with criminal tendencies have embraced kidnappings as a source of income. The government should take urgent steps to reverse the trend and also the complicity of  security agents should be looked into,''Comrade Emelieze stated.

The executives of the Trade Union Congress(TUC) have been called upon to purge the union of all immoralities and abnormalities before the union can commence negotiations for a new national minimum wage on behalf of workers in Nigeria.

This call was made by a former chairman of the TUC in Oyo state, Comrade Andrew Emelieze.

One of the prominent and top ranking executives of the TUC is a retired staff member of the Federal Ministry of Labor and Productivity. It is morally wrong and abnormal for a retiree to be among those who will negotiate a new national minimum wage for workers. The retiree is supposed to be a member of the Nigeria Union of Pensioners. The TUC must purge itself of this abnormality before it begins any form of negotiation on behalf of workers in Nigeria, '' Comrade Emelieze stated.

The Non-Academic Staff Union and Associated Institutions(NASU) University College Hospital(UCH) Ibadan, Nigeria has expressed hopes that the suspended union elections will take place in the first quarter of the year.

The union made this known through its chairman, Comrade Kehinde Abiona.

''We are very hopeful that the the suspended elections of the union will come up within the first quarter of the year'', Comrade Abiona stated.

He also expressed joy at the reopening of the union's office, saying,''to God be the glory, the NASU secretariat was reopened on the 4th January 2024 after a letter of appeal dated 29th 0f December 2023 was written to the management.''

An unspecified number of federal workers in Nigeria have expressed reservations over the payment of only one month of the N35,000 wage award by the Federal Government.

The workers made their reservations known through a former chairman of the Oyo state council of the Trade Union Congress(TUC) Comrade Andrew Emelieze.

''The Federal government promised six months. It only paid for September 2023 and stopped thereafter. As I speak to you October, November and December have only been paid to some workers, while others are yet to be paid. It  will soon be four months that a number of workers have not got the wage award. Even if the government pays today, the purpose of the wage award has already been defeated, it may not at this moment impact positively on the lives of the affected federal workers,''Comrade Emelieze stated.

The explosion that rocked Adeyi avenue in the old Bodija Government Reservation Area of Ibadan, Oyo state, Nigeria on Tuesday night has left in its trail an unspecified number of deaths, injured citizens, homeless and several still unaccounted for. Indeed, the mindset of Those-in-Authority, on lawlessness, indiscipline, criminality and evil, long before the incident speaks volumes. 

In this interview, Prophet Timothy Arabambi of the Christ Apostolic Church(C.A.C) Ile-Atunse, Olunloyo-Akanran road condoles with the families of the deceased and prays for the quick recovery of the injured. 

Excerpts:

What is your reaction to the explosion that rocked the old Bodija residential area on Tuesday night?

My advice is for the good people of Oyo state to remain calm. My condolences go to the families who lost loved ones in the explosion. May their gentle souls rest in perfect peace. And for the injured, my prayer is for God to grant them quick recovery in the name of Jesus. Amen. I also pray that help from above will come to them, and they will tell a story, a good story. They should not lose hope, but have trust in God. When there is life, there is hope.  I appreciate all the security agencies for all their efforts during these trying times. In addition, the media should also be commended for throwing more light on the incident.

I have this trust and belief in the Oyo state Governor, Engineer Seyi Makinde. He directed that immediate care should be given to the injured. He also directed the relevant agencies of government to provide temporary accommodation for those displaced as a result of the explosion. He has provided succor for the victims of the unfortunate incident. I also pray for our amiable governor. May God  give him more  knowledge and wisdom to continue to lead us well. The actions of our amiable governor show that he has love for God and humanity. I pray that in Oyo state and Nigeria, we will not have such an occurrence again. God bless Nigeria and bless us as well. 

Nigerians are full of hopes that the Federal Government will actualize the long awaited digital switch over  this year.

This assertion was made by the Chef Executive Officer of Jagaban Communications International, Mr. Samuel Adenitan.

''The analogue system of broadcast is no longer the trend in several countries of the world. We  expect a digital switch over this year. It started in 2010, and another attempt was made in 2012. I think it is high time for Nigeria to completely switch over . The National Broadcasting Commission just switched on . The Federal Government would be responsible for providing set up boxes for homes in the country. In addition the government should allow key stakeholders to invest or participate in the distribution and generation of signals,'' Mr. Adenitan stated.

He maintained that the proliferation of private radio stations was healthy for the country,  saying'' this encourages opinions to be expressed and molded across different strata of the society.''

''However, stakeholders should pay attention to the ethical and professional practices while carrying out their assignments so that the society will be better informed for the nation to be better off for it,'' he concluded.

The sins  of the leadership and followership in Nigeria from the foundation of the myriad of problems  affecting the country.

This assertion was made by Rev(Dr.) Olaolu Oyekanmi of the Amos World Outreach, the Christian Fellowship Evangelical Mission(CFEM), Moniya-Iseyin, Ijaiye-Orile, Ibadan, Nigeria.

''The major problem of the country revolves around the leadership and the followership. They have committed sins. If Nigerians can easily repent of their sins and change their behavior, activities and attitude, all will change for the better.''

''The problems are not the change of leadership or change of political parties, but have more to do with the change of mind. If Nigerians don't change, things will not change for the better. Those-in Authority and Those-in-Charge are from different homes. There must be a change,'' Rev(Dr.) Oyekanmi stated.

He also disclosed that a three day crusade tagged ''The Only Way to Save you and Nigeria'' would hold from Sunday 14the January to Tuesday 16th January 2024 at the the Mapo hall, Ibadan, Nigeria from 5.00 pm each day.
