The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, has accused the courts in the country of being responsible for the present sufferings; hardships and underdevelopment the citizenry are ing through.

NLC also urged Nigerians to disregard the alleged state-sponsored rallies aimed at enslaving workers, stressing that the rallies are clear reminders of the Youth Earnestly Ask for Abacha movement days that forced them to reminiscence the days of the bespectacled dictator that ran roughshod over the nation and trampled upon all known democratic and civil rights of the citizens and workers.

President of the NLC, Comrade Joe Ajaero, who stated this in his address at the closing ceremony of the 2023 Rain School of the congress in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, told workers to be battle-ready and brace for another round of struggle for the emancipation of the people and the workers.

He said that the earlier nationwide action organized by labour over the removal of fuel subsidy was allegedly sabotaged by an abnormal injunction procured and served on NLC in “unholy circumstances” from the Courts by the Government.

“Whether this antics of manipulating the Courts to sabotage our collective resolve will work this time is going to be left in the hands of Nigerians and the seriousness with which they see the imminent peril which our lives are being subjected to. That is why we want Nigerian workers and Nigerian people to blame all our present sufferings, hardships and underdevelopment on the Courts,” he said.

He said, “It is said that after the rain comes shine! Today, it is shining brighter and brighter! At the end of every journey is a time of reckoning and a time to say goodbyes! Time to evaluate what has been done and what has been accomplished! We have all spent a fruitful week learning new skills and getting empowered for the battle ahead; the struggles for a more humane and inclusive globe where workers will no longer be seen as appendages but as critical players towards greater wealth creation and development.

“Comrades! That is why it is indeed with great pleasure and honour that I stand with you on this auspicious occasion that marks the end of this year’s Rain School. The hard work has been done and we believe, the harvests and its various outcomes would soon be demonstrated in new deeper and more robust engagements with the social partners especially as we grapple with the increasing threat of neo-liberalism and its offshoots such as the incipient and burgeoning anti-poor; pro-capital policies of the government of Nigeria.

“It is important that we quickly draw your attention to the insensitive and utterly unacceptable hike in the prices of Petroleum products by the government of Nigeria in the midst of the suffering occasioned by the earlier hike of same product price to N537/litre on the 29th day of May 2023. Nigerians were yet to grapple with the shock of that inauguration day price increase when just few days ago, we were shocked with the announcement of a fresh price hike to N617/litre by the agents of the federal government. To us comrades, this is most unconscionable and a further attempt at emasculating an already suffering and bent Nigerians who are currently groaning under the yoke of an unbending malevolent group presently occupying the corridors of power.


“We have pointed this out so as to prepare all of our minds on the battle that awaits all of us as we leave this place. The skills we have acquired here must be used to strategically respond to this nascent wickedness if we must remain relevant as the people cry out and ask; where is Labour and where is the NLC? A cry is out there in the streets comrades and we must respond creatively and timely to those calls. It is in the nature and robustness of our response that the testimony of what we have acquired these past days will be borne. It is truly going to be a demonstration of our resilience which is anchored on how we are able to meet with the desires and expectations of those who look up to us for the articulation and defense of their rights and privileges.

“It is on this note that we call on all Nigerians to get ready to hands with us as we begin preparation to build a coalition of all Nigerian people; from the North to the South and from the East to the West. A Coalition of the suffering, oppressed and deprived where everyone will be a leader and everyone will be a follower. Hunger and poverty transcend ethnic and religious boundaries and it is our collective and indeed civic duty to save ourselves and our nation from the clutches of these mindless policies.

“Nigerians must disregard the state sponsored rallies aimed at further enslaving us. These rallies are clear reminders of the Youth Earnestly Ask for Abacha movement days and truly forces us to reminiscence the days of the bespectacled dictator who ran roughshod over our nation and trampled upon all known democratic and civil rights of the citizens and workers.

“As we brace for another round of struggle for the emancipation of our people and ourselves, we call on all of us who have attended this year’s programme to take charge and provide leadership in their various constituencies so that together, we can generate the critical mass needed to compel this government to listen to the wishes of Nigerian people.

“Comrades! Our earlier nationwide action was sabotaged by an abnormal injunction procured and served on us in unholy circumstances from the Courts by the Government.”


Continuing, he said, “As we gird our loins with the lessons from our various discourses here and as we eagerly prepare for our various destinations in and out of Nigeria, we urge you not to remain forever as students. The success of this week can only be measured by what you are able to do with it and how you are able to impact lives and your different unions. Nietsche reminds us that the worst thing we can do to our teachers is to remain students forever!

“We therefore urge you to impart on others the lessons learnt here. Apply them and use it to change whatever platform or society that we come across. Be worthy ambassadors of this school and let the light that has been lit in you here shine brightly wherever you go and in whatever you do”.

We by ourself do ourselves

Humans suffering humans


Suffering and smiling is the own goal we scored.


LAFFS TINUBUCALLY

I never liked OSHIOMOLE as a Governor but as Nlc president he remains my best till date. NLC has become a shadow of itself ever since he left.

That's just the truth.

Politicians are using to courts to their advantage.
Delivering judgements to favour the highest bidder, and different court injuction

True talk........Our judiciary specialises in injustice!

Nigeria judiciary is the most corrupt institution on earth.

Those blacklip judges are so immoral.

What a Nation!

The essence of the message conveyed is that individuals are left to fend for themselves.

The leadership of NLC/ASUU lacks direction and effectiveness. During Jonathan's presidency, the opposition, brainy, instituted industrial actions, even if not sanctioned by the court. Even when it was the men of Khaki, our unions still had that power but now, the champion of such past action in Oshiomole is at the service of those hoping to suppress the unions ability to merely bargain from any point of strength.

The same system that has made these leaders (union leaders) clueless has also resulted in a subservient judiciary, which contributes to our current suffering. This subservience is what will render Obi's election petition futile.

No need to caution against an oppressive system that uses the courts to suppress actions against policies that perpetuates poverty and hardship.

When our grievances have no legitimate outlet, and judges are insensitive in their application of the law, resorting to illegitimate means like a revolution even beyond the imagination of Sowore might seem not merely appealing but the only choice of the average Nigerian, who is although whipped into subservience due to failures of the institutions that should awaken him, must in the face of hunger, lose his mind and by extension his fear.

Lol blame everybody buh not ursef that also contribute in collecting Ghana must go from politicians to du derr bidding....

Agbero guys won't like dis news

Judgement for sale.

Yes I confirm it.

Dear naria landers this Negro is new in Lagos. I preliminarily co- exist with the inhabitants of AJAH. I'm looking for a place to play the game of heads (CHESS) or a place where battle rap takes place or where I can sit and smoke hemp in peace as I write verses like:
I go round these niggas like whirlwind
Deplete the force of gravity beneath their feet
Lift them above a feet
Then ice them in defeat
I'm Sub-Zero
I smoke ICE
I don't need ice to chill
We Negro was born on a pitch
Being balling from birth
Step in the club
These niggas catching a cold
Their bitches catching feelings
So rich I'm buying lives for THE GOD OF WAR
Winning and moving ahead
I re wrote HISTORY and got HI STORY
From a building with HIGH STOREY
I write my HIGH STORY
Born in the shrine Kalakuta Republic
Burning trees three hours after Three's hour
Nigga says he's a STAR
I'm REAL MADRID........ MR GALAXY
An eye for an eye
All I see are CYCLOPS
Tall buildings and sky scrappers
They call it town planning
Niggas hoping to hear gossips from heaven
They hear a word their earth quakes
Destroying them all
Before destroying the world
Give it up for EARTH'S DAY!
They say no smoke without fire
Where's the fire in weed?
My Brain's lit
The smoke's what you all are seeing......

Lol.

We are a funny lot.

Nigerians will blame anyone else for their own misfortunes than own them head on. Our blame game ranges from blaming the devil, to blaming our village people to even blaming our step mums. We would even blame our partners for our own inability to sustain an erection or for our own infidelity.

NLC died after the days of Oshiomole. Everyone knows that NLC no longer represent labour in Nigeria, its leadership team are weak and selfserving and have been severally accused of complicity and bribery. Now NLC blames the judiciary for their own failure.

Damnnn niggar

Enter the street and protest you toothless bulldog

Not court but Judges

Because they didn't declared your failed candidate as winner..tinubu his not Nigeria problem he only hold state office before he be came a president go and hold the federal government appointees

Nigerian Judiciary is the most corrupt entity in the entire world. The phrase 'go to court ' says so

You too have your own share of the problems,the country is messed up so badly and the best solution is unity (which seems to be more harder than a horse ing through the eye of a needle) or divission,which is more obtainable

Hmmm, it’s okay

.

🫤

Someone explain to me how

Hypocrites, even Judas Iscariot blamed the system for his sell out. So NLC under the current Judas ain't new to us.
