The leadership of Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC, has told Governors to cut down on their excesses and unnecessary political appointments to be able to pay civil servants N30,000 new minimum wage.

A deputy president of NLC, Mr. Peter Adeyemi, said this in an interview with journalists in Ilorin, noting that the governors are being wicked by insisting that they could not pay the workers N30,000.

Adeyemi, who is also the General Secretary of Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions, NASU, spoke at the regular trade group meeting of research trade group held at the Michael Imoudu National Institute for Labour Studies, MINILS, yesterday.

He also issued 21 days ultimatum to the management of MINILS to settle the eight points demand of the workers as listed by the branch chairman, Mrs R.O. Adebayo, which include unpaid staff claims, inconclusive 2018 promotion exercise and seizures of 2017 promotion letters of some members among others or incur the wrath of the union.

Adeyemi said by the new 30,000 minimum wage, governors must under-stand that an estimate of N1,000 per day for a family of six in 30 is still ridiculous and unrealisable, hence they must pay the new minimum wage.

His words: “We think the governors are trying to play to the gallery. Nigerian workers must not compromise their rights; they should use their PVC wisely to vote these governors and their party out of office because they are insensitive and do not have the feelings of human being.”

However, it’s also been shown to impose extremely large compression forces on the discs in your spine. That’s a problem. Bend a wire coat hanger back and forth and, eventually, it will snap. You can’t predict in advance exactly how many bends it will take before it breaks. But you know it’s going to happen sooner or later. Likewise, the discs in your spine can only tolerate so many bending cycles before the accumulated damage manifests itself in the form of pain. Sit-ups may not damage your spine right away. But each set could be moving you one step closer to a crippling back injury that keeps you out of the gym for some time. There are also better abs exercises to choose from. In fact, certain exercises have been shown, in some studies anyway, to work the abdominal muscles harder than sit-ups. These abdominal exercises not only work your stomach muscles but they increase the st...

Health benefit one 1 banana a day

Bananas are good for bowel regularity and satiety Adding a banana to your daily diet has an array of benefits in your body. Bananas help you reach your weight-loss goals, keep your bowels healthy, provide nutrients that regulate heart rhythm and have vitamin compounds for eye health. Keep a bunch of bananas on your desk at work and replenish your stock each week. You’ll be more likely to reach for a healthy banana — instead of heading to the vending machine — if you have a bunch sitting in front of you. Weight Loss Finding foods to fit into your weight-loss diet can be challenging, but bananas make a perfect fit. Bananas are naturally sweet and can help curb your sweet tooth if you get that afternoon sugar craving. A 6-inch banana has a minimal 90 calories, about one-fourth of the calories you would get from a chocolate candy bar. Additionally, about half of the fiber content in bananas is soluble. When soluble fiber reaches your digestive tract, it absorbs water...
