NLC declares indefinite strike in 14 states

Published

on

 

The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) has announced an indefinite strike in 14 states starting Monday, December 2nd.

This action is a response to the non-implementation of the new national minimum wage of ₦70,000, which was signed into law by President Bola Tinubu in July.

The law, which raised the minimum wage from ₦30,000, followed extensive negotiations involving the government, organized labour, and private sector stakeholders.

Despite the agreement being in effect for nearly six months, 14 states, including Enugu, Oyo, Kaduna, and the Federal Capital Territory, have yet to comply, leaving workers on the previous wage structure.

The NLC leadership, in its directive, urged state councils in the affected areas to initiate the strike to demand immediate compliance.

Workers in these states will remain off duty until their demands are met, according to the union’s stance.

This development follows prior warnings issued in November by the NLC, emphasizing a nationwide push to enforce the new wage standard across all states.

The 14 states where workers are directed to embark on an indefinite strike include:

1. Abia

2. Akwa Ibom

3. Ebonyi

4. Ekiti

5. Enugu

6. Federal Capital Territory (FCT)

7. Imo

8. Nasarawa

9. Kaduna

10. Katsina

11. Oyo

12. Sokoto

13. Yobe

14. Zamfara

“It took me getting married and giving birth to realise marriage benefits men more” — Woman shares emotional thoughts

Published

on

 

A woman has stirred serious conversations online after opening up about how marriage and motherhood changed her perspective on life.

In a heartfelt reflection, she said it was only after getting married and giving birth that she began questioning who marriage truly benefits.

According to her, women often carry the heavier load — emotionally, physically, and mentally.

She explained that marriage can make women feel like tools, responsible for cooking, cleaning, caring for the home, and even contributing financially, while still bearing the full weight of pregnancy, childbirth, and childcare.

She questioned why something described as a “blessing” should come with so much pain, stress, sleepless nights, and emotional strain for women.

In her words, childbirth comes with intense pain, followed by years of responsibility that largely fall on the woman, while many men continue life almost unchanged.

She admitted she never strongly pushed for marriage herself and only went along with it after family pressure. It was the lived experience — not theory — that opened her eyes.

While she made it clear that she loves her son deeply and finds joy in him, she said motherhood also forced her to confront uncomfortable truths about expectations placed on women.
