I always LMAOL whenever I hear of Labour union planning for strike, ...Scam strike or joking strike..

Does Labour Union still exists in this Nation? I don't think so b'cos ASUU has been on strike for 5 months&nothing was done to support d body in order to put an end to d incessant strike. D spirit of Labour has vanished since d end of Oshiomole's administration, they are inactive

Please help the children of that nation called Nigeria 🇳🇬, now that Buhari wants to run away from his responsibility its time for Nigeria to hit the road like the people of Sirlanka, power force like NUPENG and Labour will help a lot make this government face their responsibility

😂😂😃. Am Joining this group of independent individuals to Cripple the National Economy for a while
