Comments
Popeye:The NLC
should take their injured colleague as a
sign of worse things to come. They
ought to be ready to take that since they
could have accepted or agreed to that
hopeless figure of N18000 as minimum wage
when law makers are raking in 30times of
that for doing absolutely nothing...
Julius Ihonvbere:So the
so-called big shot has no name? Your report
has little value without that info.
Bin Usmanu:...
shot his leg by shooting the one that trying
to fight for his betterment in life.
He didn't need to use gun to show his
loyalty to his boss. Pity.
