Foisting the Unpopular on the People

Image
Shop on Jumia here- Indigenes and residents of Kano state in Nigeria are very conversant with their choice of leadership and are not only bothered by the turn of events, but are also interested in knowing if DEMOCRACY is still on course. Any leadership that manipulates the people's choice will, in due course, take in more than it can choose. Indeed, foisting unpopular choices on the people could result in undemocratic acts of omission and commission.

We are Ready for Indefinite Strike-Federal Workers

Image
Workers in the Federal civil service and other Ministries, Departments and Agencies have expressed their readiness to proceed on an indefinite strike should the Federal Government refuse to accede to the demands of the Nigeria Labor Congress. The workers made this position known in a Press Release titled, FEDERAL WORKERS ARE READY FOR THE INDEFINITE STRIKE ACTION AND TOTAL SHUT DOWN. WORKERS HAVE SUFFERED ENOUGH and signed by the National coordinator of the Federal Workers Forum(FWF_ and former chairman of the Oyo state council of the Trade Union Congress(TUC), Comrade Andrew Emelieze. Once again, federal government workers are ready for the indefinite strike action and we are looking onto the NLC/TUC to rescue the Nigerian people from this untold hardship. However, if the NLC tarry further, the Federal Workers Forum will not hesitate to call all our members nationwide to perpetual protest.

Before it is too late

The use of alcohol, illicit substances and hard drugs by students and youths has reached an all-time high in different parts of Nigeria. It has in fact become a social problem and menace. Indeed, in states where Those-in-Charge generate revenue from illegal structures, illicit substances and alcohol are sold in makeshift kiosks along the road, under bridges and motorparks. The insinuation is that the cream in society may be benefitting from the sales. That is why it goes unabated. These hard drugs have negatively affected the behavior and appearance of students and youths. Of worry are the grievous and heinous crimes that are committed on a daily basis under the influence of alcohol and hard drugs. It is high time the government at all levels take decisive steps to salvage those affected before it is too late because it has started having adverse effects on the socio-economic fortunes of the giant of Africa.
