                                           Insecurity in Nigeria-Express Your Views- Click Here 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 Eme...

  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 str...

  Trust God to met your needs every day. Do not carry all of tomorrow's burden today, you could collapse under the load. Luke 12:22-31 So  is  he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God. 22  And he said unto his disciples,  Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. 23  The life is more than meat, and the body  is more  than raiment. 24  Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls? 25  And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit? 26  If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest? 27  Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 28  If the...

  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 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 national office of the West African Examinations Council(WAEC) has announced the commencement of the sale of its examination forms for private candidates in Nigeria. The forms cost N27,500, bank charges inclusive. Parents and guardians are not only confused, but also worried about how to access the funds to obtain the forms for their children and wards. The government at all levels are presently focused on the expenditure in view for the education sector with regard to this year's budgetary allocation. Sadly, the discussion is not on how indigent students will access funds to pay for the examination forms. Nigerians are of the belief that those in government are yet to make any convincing impact on the education sector. This argument is given flesh by the large number of pupils, students and others at all levels of education, who have dropped out as a result of financial challenges. Of great worry, is the large army of miscreants on the monthly payroll of those in government....

  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'...

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 resid...
