Ooni Of Ife Intervenes In OAU Crisis, Workers Suspend Strike Action

By -
Aggrieved members of the Non-Accademic Staff
Union, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, have
suspended a strike they embarked upon about
three weeks ago. The strike was to protest the
alleged non-payment of their 64-month hazard
allowance. It was gathered that the workers
suspended their strike after a meeting on
Wednesday with the school management and the
Ooni of Ife, Oba Okunade Sijuwade, as the
mediator. The workers suspended the strike
following a promise by the management to pay
them palliatives When contacted, the Chairman of
NASU, OAU chapter, Wole Odewunmi, confirmed
the suspension of the strike. He said, “We have
agreed to suspend the strike following the Ooni’s
intervention. Our members will be resuming on
Friday because we still need to put some things
in place.” It would be recalled that the workers
embarked on a protest over their unpaid hazard
allowance. In a bid to show their grievances, they
paralysed activities on the university campus by
closing the library and the senate building. They
also blocked the major entrances and refused to
supply light and water to the campus.
As the crisis deepened, the authorities of the
university closed the school. The authorities later
ordered students and the workers to resume in
less than a week. To also prevent further
protests, no fewer than three Armoured Police
Carriers were positioned close to the university’s
gate with about 100 policemen seen at the
school’s gate on Monday. The management,
through a press release by the university’s Public
Relations Officer, Mr. Biodun Olarewaju, last
Thursday, vowed to punish any worker who did
not resume on Tuesday (today). “These illegal
activities have been reported to the appropriate
security agencies. In view of the total disregard
for constituted authority and the recalcitrant
behavior by members of NASU, all NASU
members are hereby directed to return to their
duty posts on or before Tuesday, July 21, failing
which appropriate disciplinary measures will be
taken against erring members of the university,”
the management had said

How to get him to pay your bills (ladies crib)

Hello ladies  it's your turn tonight. And thanks alot feel so good to have 9000+ view. Thanks to u guys 1. Don’t  have  any bills. If you’re deep in financial debt in this economy, and you meet a man who also has financial responsibilities, the likelihood that he will want to pay your bills is very slim. Single men have bills also, even if they don’t have children. The only single men without bills are most likely living in their parent’s basement or still sleeping in the room they grew up in. That man can’t pay anyone’s bills or he’d have his own house. And let’s be honest, if you were already dating the wealthiest caliber of men to begin with, you wouldn’t be looking for a man to pay your bills in the first place. 2. Don’t  ask  a man to pay your bills. Men look at women who ask for them to pay their bills as  gold diggers . And that’s me being nice. Men actually call women who ask them to pay their bills  garden tools . Here’s the thing, if you have something you can

 A man suspected to be behind the manufacture of explosives used in a series of Boko Haram suicide attacks has been arrested in North-East Nigeria, a senior police officer told AFP on Tuesday. The man, identified only as Ba'na, was held in the Arikime area of Potiskum after several weeks of surveillance, said the officer, who was involved in the Sunday arrest.
