Federal workers protest slave wages in Ibadan

Image
Workers under the aegis of the Federal Workers Forum (FWF) on Tuesday protested the prevailing insecurity and economic hardships in Nigeria.  The workers, led by the National Coordinator of the forum, Comrade Andrew Emelieze, shut the two entry points into the Federal Secretariat, Ikolaba, Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. However, workers were noticed moving in and out of the secretariat through the pedestrian entry point—devoid of harassment, intimidation, and attacks. Even though the heavy presence  of law enforcement operatives may have partially undermined the workers protest. Comrade Emelieze lamented that the situation of the workers "is horrible; workers are going through hell. That is why we are protesting to press home our demands.'' ''The government promised us a living wage; the government now converted it to a slave wage. We are workers, not slaves.'' Most workers in Nigeria have been dehumanized and no longer perform their duties in the right frame ...

Elijah the Prophet of God

Image
The 12 tribes of Israel settled in the land of Canaan. In perilous times, judges led the people; Moses was the greatest of the leaders. However, several years later, the people of Israel began agitating for the coronation of kings. Although a certain number of their kings were men of integrity, others were corrupt and diabolic. Despite this, God continued to protect and guide His people. God chose prophets to reveal happenings to His people and teach them all they need to know about Him. Elijah was a prophet who shaped the lives and activities of the people through his prophecies and encounters. The Local Scene The criminals who maim and kill innocent citizens across the Federal Republic of Nigeria are all creations of Those-in-Charge. The helplessness and lack of political will to bring the disturbing situation under control is one of the major indicators of covert consent; this is in addition to the brazen and bold mindset of the non-state actors, which points to the full backing ...

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...

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...

Oyo Government not taking our welfare seriously-Health Workers

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...
