Breaking News: NLC Begins Nationwide Protest (Photos)
The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) announced Monday it was starting a nationwide protest over the leadership tussle at the Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF) board, Premium Times reports.
The union and the labour ministry have backed different people for the chairmanship of the board of NSITF.

Celebrities have a lot to say about Genevieve Nnaji’s “Lionheart” Oscars Disqualification Nigerian celebrities are not taking the  disqualification of  “Lionheart” lightly, although they are trying to look at the bright side of the situation. Just as the saying goes,  All publicity is good publicity , and  Genevieve Nnaji ‘s ‘ Lionheart ‘ just had major publicity despite its disqualification from the 2020 Oscars.

The Main Reason Ekiti People Voted Out Fayose’s Party – Former Attorney General Former Ekiti State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Owoseni Ajayi, has revealed that the PDP house started crumbling under Governor Ayodele Fayose because of his refusal to listen to advice and give room for reconciliation in the party. He added that Fayose’s alleged arrogance, taking the people for granted and stabbing those who helped him back to power in the back, caused the defeat of the PDP governorship candidate, Prof. Kolapo Olusola, Another factor, according to him, was the mass exodus of leading party members who contributed to Fayose’s victory in the 2014 governorship election which rendered the platform very weak to face a very formidable opposition. Speaking with Journalists in Ado-Ekiti on Saturday, Ajayi maintained that the July 14 governorship election won by the governor-elect, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, was free, fair, transparent, credible and would...
