This declaration was made on Thursday by the personal assistant to the late Ezendigbo  of Ibadan and Oyo state, Eze(Dr.)Alex Anozie, Mr. Samuel Ulelu ''We don' have any new  president, we don't know the person claiming to be the new president. They formed a political group to distract people from the reality in Ibadan and Oyo state. Ohaneze Ndigbo Worldwide in Oyo state, is led by the president, Chief Emmanuel Nzeakor. So, any other person parading himselfg is taking a risk and doing so at his own peril. They only formed the group to deceive people and not to better the lives of the  Igbo community in the state.''

Rescue the People from Land-grabbers-NLC chairman to Oyo Governor

 

Isaiah 5:8-10 Doom to you who buy up all the houses and grab all the land for yourselves— Evicting the old owners, pos… | No trespassing signs, Old things, Messages

The chairman of the Nigeria Labor Congress in Oyo state, Comrade Kayode Martins, has called on the state Governor to urgently come to the rescue of helpless residents who are at the mercy of land-grabbers.

Comrade Martins made this call on Wednesday during the celebration of International Workers' Day in Ibadan, Nigeria.

''The Oyo state Governor should save the people of Oyo state from land grabbers. The activities of the land grabbers have become unbearable for the people,'' the NLC chairman disclosed.

Similarly, the chairman of the state council of the Trade Union Congress(TUC), Comrade Bosun Olabiyi commended the state government for ensuring the prompt payment of workers' salaries.

However, a former chairman of the TUC in the state, Comrade Andrew Emelieze lamented that the government at all levels had dashed the hopes of workers with empty promises and ''packaging'', adding'' the tone of the celebration is an indication that workers in Nigeria have been defrauded by their employers. Announcing a 35 percent increase in salaries for a certain category of workers is not only deceitful, but an attempt to cause division within the ranks of workers.

Ceaseless Prayers

Image
 Let us pray ceaselessly for God to open the eyes of those who have political power and have become committed to unjust economic policies and deep social injustices.  Amos 8:4-14 Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail, 5 Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit? 6 That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes;  yea , and sell the refuse of the wheat? 7 The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works. 8 Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as  by  the flood of Egypt. 9 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I wi...

Image
  Some health workers in Oyo state have expressed reservations over the continued delay of the state government to meet their demands. The health workers, who are members of the Nigeria Union of Allied Health Professionals(NUAHP), Hospital Management Board unit, lamented that the state government ''is not taking our welfare seriously.'' ''The state government has continued to treat health workers on its payroll with levity. We are not happy about this, the government should urgently address our demands, they stated. However, the chairman of the unit, Comrade Olanrewaju Ajani disclosed that of all the demands of the health workers, the state government had only reviewed the hazard allowance. ''Before the 21-day ultimatum we gave the state government on 4th March 2024 elapsed, the government appealed to us to be patient. We appeal to the state government to do something on time. We have provided enough evidence. It is only the hazard allowance that has bee...

Lawmakers are very far from Nigerians-Comrade Emelieze

Image
Lawmakers in both chambers of the National Assembly and the State Houses of Assembly have long ceased to represent the electorate in Nigeria. This assertion was made by the convener of the Federal Workers Forum, Comrade Andrew Emelieze. ''For some years now, the elected representatives of Nigerians in both chambers of the National Assembly and State Houses of Assembly have stopped representing the people. They now represent their self-centered interests. Have they done enough to reverse the economic hardships giving Nigerians sleepless nights?'' ''It has been zero intervention as regards the present economic hardships confronting Nigerians. Are those in the legislature just passing time? What is the relationship between the Executive and the Legislature? The answer is the relationship is symbiotic. This is the major reason why they have enough time for frivolities and non-issues. The lawmakers are very far from their constituents and are not in touch with the pa...
