Terrorised by union bullies: How Labour's Unite paymasters intimidated managers and their children in bitter oil refinery battle

The full extent of the Unite union’s campaign of bullying and intimidation against senior managers during the bitter Grangemouth oil refinery dispute is revealed today.
In a disturbing echo of the union militancy of the 1970s and 80s, Unite leaders deployed a dirty tricks squad to personally target and humiliate executives of the Ineos chemical company and their families.
The sinister unit – known as the ‘Leverage team’ – sent mobs of protesters to the homes of senior figures in the firm.
One director last night said he had feared for the safety of his wife and his two young children after 30 Unite protesters descended on his drive during the school holidays.

Police were called after the group approached his neighbours, telling them he was ‘evil’ in an apparent attempt to coerce him into giving in to their demands.
The daughter of another company boss had ‘Wanted’ posters denouncing her father posted through her front door hundreds of miles away in Hampshire.
The union agreed to call off the Leverage team only as part of the settlement of  the dispute.
Yesterday, an unrepentant Unite spokesman said such activities were ‘legitimate in the context of an industrial dispute’, adding that ‘bad employers should have nowhere to hide’.

Stephen Deans, the Unite organiser at the heart of the dispute

Details of the bully-boy tactics were revealed yesterday as David Cameron branded Stephen Deans, the Unite organiser at the heart of the dispute, a ‘rogue trade unionist’ whose behaviour nearly sank the plant.
Ineos threatened to close the Grangemouth plant after Mr Deans and Unite refused a new pay and pension package designed to save the business.
Unite general secretary Len McCluskey brought the dispute to crisis point by launching strike action.

Did France pay £17MILLION ransom to Al Qaeda for release of four hostages? Claims made as uranium mine workers are freed after three years in captivity

Four Frenchmen held captive by Al Qaeda terrorists for more than three years were due to arrive in Paris today – amid claims that more than £17million was paid for their release.
Pierre Legrand, 28, Thierry Dol, 32, Daniel Larribe, 62, and Marc Feret, 46 were all captured in September 2010 during raids on a uranium mine near Arlit, northern Niger, where they were working for nuclear giant Areva.
The Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) group claimed responsibility and there were always fears that the hostages would be killed.

Crowds were building up in bright sunshine at the Villacoublay military airbase, on the outskirts of the French capital, where President Francois Hollande was due to meet the men.
Mr Holland and his senior ministers insists that France 'does not pay ransoms' and diplomatic negotiation was used to free the men.

But today’s Le Monde reports that the country’s intelligence agencies paid a ransom of 20 million euros (£17million) for their release.
The paper, which is known to have outstanding contacts in the secret services, quotes an unnamed source ‘with knowledge of the details of the operation.’

The White House knew all along: Most Americans with individual health insurance plans will get cancellation notices under Obamacare

Read my lips: Obama told the AMA four years ago that 'no matter how we reform health care ... If you like your health care plan, you will be able to keep your health care plan. Period. No one will take it away. No matter what.'

Between half and three-quarters of Americans who buy their own health insurance on the open market will lose those plans in the next year as Obamacare is pushed into full implementation, according to a blockbuster report sure to give the White House a new round of health-care headaches.
'No matter how we reform health care,' a newly minted President Barack Obama told a meeting of the American Medical Association in June 2009, 'we will keep this promise: If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period. If you like your health care plan, you will be able to keep your health care plan. Period. No one will take it away. No matter what.'
But regulations formulated by his own administration make it clear that the White House never intended to to give Americans that level of free choice about their medical insurance options.
Washington, D.C. buzzed Friday with reports of what NBC News had surfaced: an under-the-radar notice in the Federal Register, which MailOnline has dated to June 17, 2010, laying out the administration's expectation that most people who buy their own health insurance will soon have no options other than paying exorbitant rates or joining the federal government's insurance exchanges.
White House spokeswoman Jessica Santillo told NBC that 'nothing in the Affordable Care Act forces people out of their health plans: The law allows plans that covered people at the time the law was enacted to continue to offer that same coverage to the same enrollees.'
But millions of individual insurance plans don't comply with Obamacare's minimum standards, which include services like children's vision care, dental coverage and reproductive health options that some consumers don't want.
Millions more with policies written before March 2010 will lose the 'grandfather' status President Obama has promised them because of tiny, marginal changes like premium adjustments or revised prescription copay rates.
SCROLL DOWN FOR MORE

White House spokesmanJay Carney conceded Monday that 'it's true that there are existing healthcare plans on the individual market that don't meet [Obamacare's] minimum standards and therefore do not qualify' to survive

Smoking gun: The IRS published official notice in 2010 that it expected most Americans with individual health insurance plans would lose them under Obamacare

I told you so: A spokesman for long-time Obamacare foe Sen. Ted Cruz emailed the NBC News report all over Washington on Monday as soon as it hit the Internet

'Any insurance that you currently have would be grandfathered in so you could keep it,' President Obama claimed during a CNN broadcast in February 2010. 'And so you could decide not to get, in the exchange, the better plan. I could keep my Acme insurance, just a high-deductible catastrophic plan. I would not be required to get the better one.'
John Kyl, then a Republican senator from Arizona, countered with words that now seem prescient: 'That's for a very limited period of time.'
The White House's website continues to communicate the president's earlier promises.
'If you like your plan you can keep it,' one page reads, 'and you don’t have to change a thing due to the health care law.'
Under the Affordable Care Act and the tens of thousands of pages of related regulations, the grandfathering Obama promised only applies to insurance policies that continue, unchanged, from year to year.
Requirements in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 often force health insurers to rewrite their policies annually in order to re-state consumers' privacy guarantees, now well-known as 'HIPPA' rights. That simple act of re-issuing a policy that's identical to the previous one would also render it ineligible for 'grandfather' status.
'A reasonable range for the percentage of individual policies that would terminate and therefore relinquish their grandfather status is 40 to 67 percent,' the IRS wrote on July 17, 2010.

The White House's website continues to claim: 'If you like your plan you can keep it and you don't have to change a thing due to the health care law'

That estimate only covers policies that lose their 'grandfathered' status by changing, and those which Americans voluntarily leave for other reasons. But still more will lose coverage, the IRS wrote, because their chosen levels of insurance will suddenly fail to meet the White House's definition of an adequate policy.

16 million: Health care analyst Bob Laszewski predicts that's the number of Americans who will lose their preferred medical insurance plans in the coming months

The annual total likely 'exceeds the 40 percent to 67percent range,' according to the IRS's statement more than three years ago.

REVELATIONS: Stella Oduah's Secret Deals In Aviation Sector

Recent happenings in the Aviation industry in general and in particular; the government Agency saddled with the regulatory responsibility of civil Aviation in Nigeria; The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority has thrown up a number of ethical issues which borders on professionalism, integrity, loyalty, patriotism and trust.

This piece seeks to dissect the fact leading to the build-up to the Oduagate Bullet-proof car saga, so as to shed further light on the imbroglio.

The unceremonious removal of the erstwhile Director-General of NCAA; Harold Demuren as a fallout of the DANA air crash incident, despite his achievement for the Nigerian Air travel industry was orchestrated to create the much needed lacuna for official high-handedness and graft...

It will be recalled that Minister of Aviation Stella Odua removed two of the parastatal Chiefs under her watch viz; Richard Aisebugbu who was MD of Federal Airports Authority Of Nigeria (FAAN), and Alhaji Auyo who was the MD of NAMA all in one fell swoop, leaving only Harold Demuren of NCAA.

She immediately shopped for more docile and subservient persons who will not only dance to her tunes without asking questions but also will even go the extra mile to protect her interest. This exercise, which ordinarily appears as a normal repositioning effort by her, brought up Mazi Nnamdi Udoh (Current MD of NAMA) and George Uresi (MD of FAAN). These two were found to posses all the needed character and were taken to Oduah to pledge their loyalty to “the cause”.

It will further be recalled that Harold Demuren of NCAA had emerged as the doyen of the industry by this time, having successfully repositioned the Industry in addition to leading Nigeria to earn the much coveted CAT 1 Status from America, He was then being celebrated both locally and abroad and so Oduah was in a fix and could not immediately remove him.

Tambuwal Says House Will Approve Money to End ASUU Strike

House of Rep Speaker, Aminu Tambuwal, has said if there is a need to make extra budgetary provisions for the Federal Government to resolve the lingering face-off between it and the Academic Staff Union of Nigerian Universities (ASUU), the House would do so.

“Let me use this opportunity to appeal to both the Executive arm and the authorities of ASUU to quickly resolve the problem. If there is need for any appropriation, the House will expeditiously assent to it in the interest of our students and the nation.”

The Speaker spoke in Abuja when he received a briefing on the update of the ASUU strike from the Aminu Suleiman-led House Committee on Education.

Commercial activities at Ijora Badia, in the Apapa area of Lagos State, came to a halt on Wednesday when a group of policemen and armed robbers engaged in a gun duel.

It was said that the robbers started shooting sporadically into the air to scare motorists, attempting to escape in a rush with the bullion van. Their progress was said to have been slowed down by heavy traffic.

Obama's Car Not Up To Half The Price Of Stella Oduah's Cars

I really don't know why political office holders in Nigeria are so wicked and heartless. Really sad!

The most powerful President in the world, Barrack Obama, rides in a 2012 Cadilac DTS worth $300,000 but in Nigeria, a country that is ravaged by poverty and lack of jobs for graduates, a minister in the government of President Goodluck Jonathan acquired two cars worth $1.6million.

The first claim is that it is meant for her security..... The second is that it would be used to carry visiting VIPs.
Is this not a real life definition of insanity?

30 Gunmen Storm Palace At Mid-Night, Kidnap Monarch

The setting was like that of a war film on Tuesday as the Paramount Ruler of Esit Eket Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State, Ubong Assam, was abducted by no fewer than 30 gunmen, who stormed his palace around 2am and operated without challenge.

The kidnap, it was learnt, might be in connection with a N2.6 billion compensation paid by ExxonMobil to the four host local government communities. The money has been generating tension in the area.

The kidnappers took the royal father to Unyeghe village, Mbo Local Government Area in a car, transferred him to a waiting speedboat and left for the high seas.

Although the security personnel attached to the royal father attempted to rescue him, the kidnappers’ superior fire power won the day.

REVEALED! Stella Oduah Got N112m Bribe for the N255m Cars

As the minister of aviation began a new spin today that the two BMW armored cars purchased by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) for her use were done on "hire-purchase", Sahara Reporters has again unearthed new details about the $1.6 million spent by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority to purchase the armored BMW cars for Mrs Stella Oduah.

A highly reliable source has told SaharaReporters that the shady deal for the car was done entirely between Coscharis Motors Limited, one of Ms. Oduah’s private firms based in Abuja and First Bank of Nigeria.

President Jonathan and His Funny Fight Against Corruption

If what Jonathan is doing now is his own understanding of how to fight corruption, then many Nigerians are of the opinion that he should just forget about the fight completely as there is no difference.

APC Says Jonathan Has Lost Focus, Rejects National Confab

Nigeria’s leading opposition political party, the All Progressive Congress, APC, on Tuesday announced that it rejects the National Dialogue being organised by President Goodluck Jonathan. The party's position was taken at a meeting of the National Executive Committee of the APC in Abuja.

“What we see today is that this government has lost focus, it has lost credibility, it has lost control of the economy, security, corruption has attained uncontrollable proportion and at this point in time, this government lacks the credibility to organise a real meaningful national conference.

New PDP Tackles Bamanga Tukur-Led Old PDP Again

The New Peoples Democratic Party (nPDP) chaired by Alhaji Abubakar Kawu Baraje says it has carefully studied Friday’s ruling by the Federal High Court, Abuja, presided over by His Lordship, Justice Elvis Chukwu, which declared the National Working Committee (NWC) headed by Alhaji Bamanga Tukur as the authentic leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

In a statement issued and signed in Abuja by Mr Eze Chukwuemeka Eze on 20th October, 2013, the faction said, “As a group that has a lot of respect for the judiciary, we have accepted the ruling in good faith and wish to abide by it. Even so, we have directed our legal team to appeal the judgement as a matter of urgency as we remain convinced that we have a good case and are thus determined to ensure that Tukur and his cohorts are not allowed to hold sway as the leaders of our great party”.

Continuing, the faction said, “Along this line, Alhaji Abubakar Kawu Baraje, who just returned from Holy Pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia, has convened an emergency meeting of the G7, Stakeholders and the National Working Committee (NWC) of the New PDP to exhaustively discuss the new developments and chat the way forward as there is no going back on our just struggle to rescue PDP from the hands of usurpers”.

The rest of the statement reads:
“Apart from deciding on the Federal High Court ruling and the challenges facing us a group the G7/Stakeholders/NWC Meeting slated for this week is expected to deliberate on how the new Five Governors of PDP that have indicated interest to join the Baraje leadership will be received in the fold.

Gay couples wed as New Jersey recognizes same-sex marriage

Gay couples exchanged vows in early morning ceremonies in several New Jersey communities Monday as the state began recognizing their marriages, becoming the 14th state to do so.
Last week the New Jersey Supreme Court refused Governor Chris Christie's request that same-sex marriages be put on hold until a state appeal against the decision is decided.
Mayors in New Jersey cities including Newark and Jersey City opened their city halls at 12:01am Monday morning, the official start-date of the court order, to marry eager couples.

Making history: David Gibson (right) and Richard Kiamco of Jersey City become the first official same-sex couple to be married in Jersey City in a ceremony officiated by Mayor Steve Fulop at 12:01 a.m. Monday, October 21

The hastily planned first weddings to legally unite long-time couples were planned for a state Senator's grand home in Elizabeth, the boardwalk in Asbury Park and government buildings in small towns and big cities.
In the arts community of Lambertville, Mayor David DelVecchio led the ceremony to marry Beth Asaro and Joanne Schailey. He also presided when they joined in a civil union the minute they became recognized in the state in February 2007.

 

Soon after they cut the cake, DelVecchio handed Asaro a pink marriage license.

The couple, both wearing suits, hosted a reception attended by friends, family and several politicians. The song 'In the Mood' played.

BREAKING DEADLOCK ON ASUU STRIKE

No one single sentence can succinctly capture the rot that has progressively emasculated Nigeria’s education sector. The dysfunction is exemplified in the current strike by ASUU which started on July 1 over funding dispute. The industrial action has grounded activities in federal and state universities, sending undergraduates out of school for almost four months. 

Jonathan Agrees To Sack Stella Oduah and Recover The N255m

President Goodluck Jonathan has come under intense pressure from some powerful men to sack a "corrupt" and "reckless" Minister of Aviation, Ms. Stella Oduah, over the N255m bulletproof car scandal.

Already, President Jonathan has met with his close associates and they have concluded that Stella Oduah is a baggage that is too heavy for Jonathan to carry. “She has to go. This disgrace is too much.”

A source close to Jonathan's inner circle in Aso Rock told exclusivereportz.blogspot.com that the cash will be recovered. I hear that Stella Oduah is seriously begging Patience Jonathan to save her job and her face.

The call for the minister’s removal followed the ministry’s confirmation on Wednesday that the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority bought two bulletproof vehicles worth $1.6m (N255m) for Stella Oduah.

The NCAA had on Friday claimed that the cars were in its possession and are used to “convey the minister and visiting foreign dignitaries.”

But this contradicted the statement of the minister’s aide, Mr. Joe Obi, who had earlier admitted that the cars were purchased because Stella Oduah’s life was in danger.

Nigeria’s most prominent legal activist, Femi Falana, SAN, has asked the EFCC to begin an immediate and thorough investigate into how Minister of Aviation Stella Oduah used $1.6 million (N255million) to purchase just two armored BMW cars for herself through the back door.

In a letter to the EFCC titled “Request for Investigation of economic crimes of fraud and extortion of the sum of N255 million by the Aviation Minister, Ms. Stella Oduah,” Mr. Falana stated that:

APC Accepts 7 PDP Governors, To Give Them Party Structures

The All Progressive Congress, APC, has agreed to welcome the seven governors in the breakaway faction of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, with the offer to give them complete control of the APC structures in their respective states immediately.

exclusivereportz.blogspot.com gathered that President Goodluck Jonathan is working secretly to plead with the governors not to dump the PDP for the APC because it would be difficult for him to win a re-election in 2015 with just about 15 governors when the APC will be having almost 20 governors.

The acting National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has said the party would not be averse to any big fish, including all the seven new PDP governors since they are ready to join the APC.

Old PDP Dares New PDP Governors: You Can Go and Join APC

The old Peoples Democratic Party, PDP on Thursday said it would not compel any of its members to remain within its fold. It said while it would prefer to dialogue with the aggrieved members to resolve any outstanding issues, it recognised that there is no compulsion in political party membership.

The party was reacting to the threat by some of the governors to defect to the "warm embrace" of opposition All Progressives Congress, APC, since the PDP leadership is making things difficult for them.

National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Chief Olisa Metuh, told Punch on the telephone that the party was a democratic institution made up of individuals who chose to be members on their own free will.

Brila FM Slammed With N1.14billion Suit For Copyright Violation

True to its warning that no organization broadcasting music or sound recordings in Nigeria or communicating same to the public without a COSON license will be left off the hook, copyright society of Nigeria, COSON, has filed a 1.14 Billion Naira copyright infringement action against Brila Services Ltd. The organization which owns the Brila FM stations in Lagos, Onitsha, Kaduna and Abuja was sued alongside its Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Larry Izamoje.

In suit No. FHC/L/CS/1391/13 filed on behalf of COSON by K. C. Okolocha Esq, COSON complained that the defendants continue to earn massive advertising revenue and make enormous profit from the unauthorized copying, communication to the public and broadcast of the musical works and sound recordings belonging to COSON members, affiliates, assignors and licensors and consequently the Defendants have continued to expand their capacity by setting up new stations across the country.

COSON also complained that the behavior of Brila which will not be accepted anywhere else around the world has led to the death in penury of many of Nigeria’s greatest music stars of all times whose creative talents were exploited to provide wealth for the likes of the Defendants while in most cases, nothing is left behind for the dependants of these music stars and not even money to give them a decent burial and that the many examples include: Late Sonny Okosun, Late Oliver De Coque, Late Stephen Osita Osadebe, Late Bala Miller, Late Nelly Uchendu, Late Christy Essien Igbokwe, Late Rex Jim Lawson, Late Ayinla Omoruwa, Late Orlando Owoh, Late Celestine Ukwu, Late Fatai Rolling Dollar etc.

Jonathan Shouldn't Have Appointed Me Into Dialogue Committee ––Says Nwabueze

Leader of The Patriots, Prof. Ben Nwabueze, has described his appointment to serve on National Conference Advisory Committee by President Goodluck Jonathan as inappropriate.

“I never expected to be appointed chairman or member of the Committee, and would, quite frankly, have considered such an appointment inappropriate in the circumstances. It is an appointment for a younger person, not for an old man of 83 years.”

Prof Nwabueze said in the statement on Thursday that he had been in London since September 8, receiving treatment for prostate cancer. He said he had expected that his contribution to the national dialogue would have been to help prepare “a Draft People’s Constitution” which he had hoped to send to the President and the National Assembly.

No Money for Safety In Aviation But Minister Stella Oduah Bought Two Cars Worth N255m

Most Nigerians are stupid and gullible. In Nigeria, political office holders who earn millions of Naira are also entitled to hardship allowance but the citizens they are serving cannot have social security. How sad!

As you read this, exclusivereportz.blogspot.com can confirm that the Aviation Minister Stella Oduah, who had said there is no enough money for the Aviation sector to guarantee total security of flying planes, has forced the NCAA, the agency in charge of ensuring safety and airworthiness of planes, to spend N255million for two bullet proof cars for her use.

How My Male Friend Tied Me Up In His Hotel Room & Raped Me

This is a warning to ladies to stop trusting people blindly. Read the lady's story below:

A friend of mine reached me and invited me to come to Benin City for an event. I have known him since 2011 so I though nothing of it. Like no harm can be done after all we go way back and stuff. So I booked my ticket from Lagos and I flew to Benin on the 13th that was a Sunday, and it was the day of the event.

After the event we went to chill at a hotel in GRA Benin. He had a Suite there...

We were with other friends, we all talked, laughed, gisted and all until about 10pm. Everyone started leaving gradually, I wanted to call a cab to take me to my own hotel, but he kept on insisting on dropping me. I was like it is even better, I would save my cab fare.

New PDP Governors Finally Set To Dump Jonathan For The APC

While they were having "peace meetings" with President Goodluck Jonathan in Aso Rock, the president was, in a clandestine move, encouraging agencies of government under the Presidency to go after the 7 governors who belong to the New PDP and their supporters.

Consequently the New PDP governors have decided to take their destinies into their hands. It's now obvious that the peace move have hit a brick wall. exclusivereportz.blogspot.com gathered that the Governors have met and they are now ready to go out of the PDP and accept the “warm embrace of the APC.”

Read This Exposé On Why Jonathan Doesn't Deserve 2nd Term

It is all too glaring. Even to the not-so-politically conscious, it is evident that President Goodluck Jonathan will save himself and this country a lot of trouble if he does not seek re-election in 2015. Do not get me wrong. I am not talking about his constitutional eligibility. This is not an argument about his rights as a citizen to vote and be voted for. This is not even about the intrigues and politics of 2015 that have factionalised his party into a breakaway group known as the New PDP. Nigerians know that they are birds of the same feathers who will soon find compromise under their old battered umbrella.

Of course, President Jonathan has all the rights in the world to seek another term. After all, against all odds, despite the fact that he had no known track record of performance.

Nigerians, rightly or wrongly, kept faith with him in 2011. They also supported him in his trying times - when a devious cabal almost denied his ascendancy as President after the death of his boss, Umaru Yar’Adua.

Never mind these latter day ethnic bigots now whipping up sectional sentiments and making it seem that Jonathan is being criticised because of his ethnic background. It is either they have no sense of history or are deliberately creating a decoy to detract Nigerians from the real issues about the Jonathan’s Presidency.

Facebook murder suspect says he posted photo of dead wife online 'to notify her family'

A man who shot dead his wife and then posted grisly photos of her corpse on Facebook told police that he had posted the photos online to notify family members about what had happened.
Derek Medina made the bizarre claim regarding the shooting of 26-year-old Jennifer Alfonso in his August 8 videotaped statement to Miami-Dade County Police detectives.
He claimed that he killed her in self-defense after she threatened him with a knife, following many previous abusive episodes.

Derek Medina claims he fatally shot his wife in self defense and posted photos of his dead wife on Facebook to notify family members about what had happened

But a police detective testifying on Tuesday contradicted that claim by saying that Ms. Alfonso was likely cowering and trying to defend herself before she was killed.
In his hearing testimony, Detective Jonathan Grossman said an autopsy and the position of Alonso's body indicates she was on her knees with one arm raised in front of her face when she was shot on Aug. 8 during an argument. 
The trajectories of the 380-caliber bullets indicate they were fired from above her, he added.
‘The victim was very low to the ground at the time she was shot,’ Grossman testified. ‘The victim appeared to be in a cowering position.’

At a bail hearing on Tuesday, Medina sat silently in the courtroom wearing a red jail jumpsuit and a full, dark beard
