“I hate to say this but this strike is the only option.”
@KhadijaGarba19 said:
“It is sad that strike is the only serious language our government/politicians recognizes. They rushed to increase their own salaries but now that it’s time for the masses to receive, they’re proposing 60K. What will 60k monthly solve for the average human? How much is food?”
@donpanacio said:
“Blocking airport is a criminal offence!! Military will soon show them how to behave!”
@a_lmumin said:
“Sometimes the only language govt understand is strike and if its genuine, I hope the NLC/TUC are sincere with their pursuit. The only thing sad is that some businesses will be affected.”
