When women apply for job, most of the times, they do beca

See his full post below,  his #10yearschallenge really got me thinking….. 10 years ago I was doing quite well financially, substantially better than I am now. I could walk into a shop and spend money on a rolex, mille or a Cartier watch without thinking twice…. I was also doing a lot in the Pentecostal church I was attending then….But the ‘doing well’ ended there. I was in a horrible marriage, I was going through depression and my colleagues at work hated my guts, in short there was a hole in my soul.

The Gombe Council of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has advised against the politicisation of the proposed N30, 000 national minimum wage. Mr Haruna Kamara, the state NLC Chairman, said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN). The Organised labour and the federal government will meet tomorrow. Speaking, Kamara said that the struggle for minimum wage was a struggle for the emancipation of workers and not a tool for any political stakeholder. “People should not join the issue of the struggle for national minimum wage, the welfare of Nigeria workers and pensioners with politics. “This has been the norm in the past as political stakeholders often accuse labour of supporting the opposition.
