It is the average Nigerians masses that will be suffering the effects of the strike, not the FG and others. No electricity, who is suffering for it; the masses
Decline in econony activities
Scarcity of transportation, e.t.c

IgbuduMonkey:
Only a total reformation that would create home made system of leadership can salvage this country now

Until una implement Aburi accord wey una villainize Ojukwu for, nothing will ever get better in nigeria. Frame this so you can tell your grandkids, a random online stranger told you so.

Issorait.... We already know the strike won't last.

Oya, make Nepa bring light now.

May God forgive NLC and TUC

seansage012:
Hope they came up with something reasonable

Someone here on NL predicted the strike won't last more than a week
I hope the Labour leaders are not cashing out at the expense of the workers

Fools.

You have been deceived AGAIN.

Your ranks broken and weakened.

How did you think you would succeed in championing another showdown come weekend when you see/realise you have only been handed a flaccid diiick?

Awon oponu!

Labour make una no fall hand for her .. which one be five days ...

Jughead29:
120k or nothing

Or pay the 60k but with the following allowances :
1. Health allowance 10k
2. Hardship allowance 10k
3. Transportation allowance 20k
4. Food allowance 20k
5. Holiday allowance 20k
6. Fuel subsidy removal allowance 10k

We are all Nigerians nobody is better than another. We deserve fair treatment

You guys are protesting for the wrong things

What we need is for labour to protest about what the Senators and of government earn as allowances

It is the redistribution of that money that will enable government pay whatever workers want as minimum wage

Otherwise, they will keep claiming they can't afford the minimum wage and playing the workers ojoro.

Unfortunately, our labour leaders lack sincerity of purpose.

No NLC President like Oshiomole..

NLC guys are just suffering the poor masses... When Emefele introduced useless naira policy and it affected most Nigerians NLC didn't go on strike... Buhari and Tinubu removed fuel subsidy, petrol is close to ₦1000 per litre and things generally increased NLC didn't go on strike. The useless NLC guys are now fighting for unreasonable salary increment... Seh nah everybody be salary earner in Nigeria... Most people in Nigeria depend on daily wages

If e sure for you go Aso rock go yarn this okpata make you see the colour of inside prison at Kuje. You don't know these labour reps are immuned against punishment for their actions in the course of this clamour?

kelvindj98:
I honestly don't know why some folks here derive pleasure in people suffering. You celebrated when Emefielle made Naira scarce because it helped your useless candidate. You celebrated this strike too despite mostly affecting average Nigerians. You better check yourselves to asylums. Mad people.

I tell you my brother.. its just insane!

Winners family

Labor is fighting for their pockets.

You are a fool for partaking in any labor strike.
Labor can go to hell.

Labor is making life harder for me and you.
Please think again.
All these year that you foolishly g labor strikes, how much did government pay you??
It is only the labor people that enjoys the money.

Are you a DCC member?

I commend labor leaders for not given it blanket suspension, at least if government is serious, they must come up with something tangible with these five days, because they pleaded that discussion should continue in the next five days.

phonny22:
So soon

Do you know the hardship for this just one day?

Govt and Labour congress feel the heat.

whytediamond:


What's the new minimum wage?

This husband and wife romance/drama between NLC top officials and FG is why the government of the day see them finish.

Imagine 1 day strike called off and we haven't gotten the results of the strike action in the first place.

I pity monthly salary earners sha.

I wonder.
Nothing to hold

Joe Ajaero has used his ers to wipe faeces off his buttocks again.. The illiterate dwarf knows that Obi-rodents are also mumu without direction.

Good one ☝️, at least the government already knows that they’re serious this time and if nothing is done, it might get worse than this… Right step in the right direction. Let’s see what will come out of their negotiations within the 5 days suspension

Stupid labour......after knowing some states are owing salary and they want minimum wage to be 400k..dey play...even the 60k some states can't pay

IBB007:
lol…at least they meant business this time

It's not that they meant business this time. Rather, it's bcoz the course is in the interest of all workers.

When the issue you're fighting for concerned all workers and Nigerians, it will be successful bcoz everybody will comply.

But if it's about slapping Ajaero in Imo State for fishing in the political waters of the state, I don't know how that affects me in Lagos.

Why on earth will Nepa strike which rubbish country is this

Labor is greedy and very unrealistic.
The county is in huge debts.
Nigerian government can not pay 100,000 as minimum wage.
The country will die off.

Let's wait and what they gat to offer after the five days....

Thank god for what in particular?

National Grid was also shut down throwing the nation into darkness. Before we been get light? You know that National grid likes to collapse on its own, what if decides to just collapse from the shutdown?

Prisi12345:


By suspending the strike, the unions may be indicating that they are willing to engage in further negotiations with the government to reach a mutually acceptable agreement, with putting Nigerian's to more hardship,
This could lead to a resolution that benefits will all.

However, the suspension of the strike may not yield anything, because the government might not listen to them, more over the strike does not affect them as much as it does to ordinary citizens and the underlying issues may still not be addressed.
The government and the unions may need to continue negotiations to find a lasting solution to the disputes.
