Flying Bird Allegedly Turns Into A Human Being In Port Harcourt After Landing On High Tension wire
There was pandemonium on Thursday as a bird transformed into a human being in Port Harcourt, the capital of Rivers State. The incident which happened around 8:00am at Agip/Ada-George junction attracted huge crowd from every part of the city.
According to an eyewitness who shared the story on facebook, the bird was on top of a high tension pole by the junction when suddenly electricity company restored power.
“This morning along Agip, Port-Harcourt a bird that was flying got electrocuted and fell. A little terrified boy standing behind the signpost rushed to pick the bird and immediately it turned to this wretched horrifying looking dead woman.
Making everyone run (even those shouting the BLOOD OF JESUS).
He stated that other birds that flew to the point numbered over ten and that when eventually the unlucky one fell that the others escaped.
ASUU STRIKE Deadline
ASUU STRIKE: FG extends resumption ultimatum date to Dec 9th
The Nigerian government has extended the deadline on an ultimatum issued to striking university lecturers, asking them to go ‘Back to Class’ on December 4 or face being sacked.
With the deadline extended to December 9, lecturers are no longer expected to resume duties as required by the seven-day ultimatum issued by the Supervising Minister of Education, Nyesom Wike, on November 28.
The Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission (NUC), Professor Julius Okogie, told journalists in Abuja on Tuesday that the ultimatum had been shifted to enable the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) carry out the burial ceremony of Professor Festus Iyayi, a former leader of the union who died in the line of duty.
In a bid to lay to rest the issue of non-victimisation that the striking lecturers had stressed in a letter to the government before the ultimatum was issued, the NUC boss stated that all lecturers, who would resume duties and ready to work on December 9 would be paid their full salary arrears.
The public universities’ lecturers have not been paid since they embarked on a nationwide strike on July 1. They have, by invoking the non-victimisation clause, demanded that all the arrears must be paid.
He, however, pointed out that the leadership of ASUU, at the end of its meeting with the president on November 4, had agreed to call off the strike after several resolutions were reached which did not include the new conditions recently released by the union.
The union said it did not add any new condition but only emphasised the non-victimisation clause, which states that no member of the union should be punished for being part of the ongoing strike.
It claims the government was aware of the clause and called for the payment of the salary arrears.
It has also insisted that the government deposit the 200 billion Naira revitalisation fund for public universities as agreed with the Central Bank of Nigeria, before the strike would be called off.

Threats for Fresh Strike Over Minimum Wage
Threats Fresh Strike Over Minimum Wage - LABOUR
Kaigama also stressed the need for President Muhammadu external linkBuhari to fast track the process of forwarding the agreed minimum wage to the National Assembly.
“The Federal Government is advised to avoid any action that can delay or truncate the process of enacting the new Minimum Wage Act as the consequences of allowing that to happen can be very devastating.
“It is worthy of note that the single most important issue agitating the mind of an average Nigerian worker today is that of the new national minimum wage, the report of which was presented to Mr. President on Tuesday 6th November, 2018. It is apt to state that against all odds, the tripartite committee that negotiated the new minimum wage was able to scale all hurdles and agreed to the sum of N30,000 as the new minimum wage for the country.
“It is on this premise that I strongly want to appeal to the Federal Government to fast-track the process of enacting the new national minimum wage into law.

“It is on this premise that I strongly want to appeal to the Federal Government to fast-track the process of enacting the new national minimum wage into law.
“Our expectation is that the government should be able to complete the entire process before the end of this year so that workers who have waited for so long can begin to enjoy a new lease on life provided by the newly agreed minimum wage.”
The TUC president further lamented a situation where the core civil service, which is the engine room of government, is the least paid in the public service.
According to Kaigama, even though civil servants, for instance, possess the same qualifications and experience as their counterparts in the parastatals and agencies, “yet, the salaries of these other employees are, in most cases, three times more than that of officers in the core ministries.”
The labour leader added: “This situation has been made worse by the fact that since 2010 when salary relativity was carried out in the core civil service, no salary increment has been granted to civil servants except for the N900 monthly that was added to the emoluments of senior officers across board after N18,000 was approved as the national minimum wage in 2011.”
Lawal on his part, said if the federal government fails to implement the N30,000 agreement, labour would resume its suspended nationwide strike.
“The way we interpret the president speech is that he said he is going to forward Executive Bill to the National Assembly, and on that we stand. We are not going to accept five kobo drop on that N30,000; we are not going to accept it. We are not going to accept anything less that N30,000. Like I said earlier on, we have mobilised already, we only suspended (the strike). So, we will pick off from where we left. It is not going to be a difficult thing.”
“We want it done less than two weeks; we cannot wait till end of November because we want the minimum wage achieved this year.
“We are taking Mr. President on his words now, but we have a timeline on when we will swung into action. Our members are ready and only waiting for directive; we are prepared because as we have always say, we have never gotten anything on a platter of gold. We are going to do all we can within the law to ensure implementation this year,” he said.
Reacting to the new threat by labour, the Deputy Director of Press in the ministry of labour, Mr Samuel Olowookere when contacted, said he could not comment on the threat by Labour.
He however said the ministry and the labour minister have done their part, urging for caution on the part of labour.
“I cannot comment on what I don’t know, I can only speak on what I know with the permission to do so. All I know, which is known to everybody, is that the ministry has concluded its work on the minimum wage and my ‘Oga’ has submitted the report to the president. That is all I can say,” he said.
