LASPOTECH: THE FACTS ABOUT CONTISS 15 MIGRATION
The agitation for the implementation of Consolidated Tertiary Institution Salary Structure (CONTISS 15) migration by the three Staff Unions is an issue that has thrown the Polytechnic Community into unrest since 2016.
The CONTISS 15 migration is the movement of staff from one salary grade level to the next level provided the staff meets the necessary conditions stipulated by the NBTE as listed below:
a. Such staff must have been employed before 1st August 2009.
b. Such staff must possess the basic academic/professional or both qualifications applicable to his/her competence in addition to compliance to Institutional policy.
c. Such staff must have spent a minimum of two (2) years on the current position before the year of migration.
The lawlessness of the three (3) Staff Unions and threats to the lives of members of the Governing Council along with the Principal Officers of the Polytechnic got to a peak that during a session of the Governing Council's meeting; the Council members were rounded up and locked up at the Board Room with threats to set ablaze the entire building with the members inside. Charms were freely displayed and urine poured on the heads of elderly Council members sent to appeal to them. Power supply was cut off and all members’ cars vandalised.

Nollywood: Igbohood, Hausahood, Yorubahood?
Just last week, I came across an article online where I got to know that the Yoruba movie industry are sort of creating the Yoruba movie scene parlance, Yorubawood. I could not laugh out this unwholesome patois. For God's sake, what we know Nigeria for is Nollywood, not Yorubahood, Hausahood, Igbohood or 'anytribehood'.
I heard they (Yoruba movie makers) were of the complaint that Nollywood does not apply nor exist to their advantage. So, it was pertinent to carve out a niche from the Nollywood base. SMH#
Wait a minute, there are more than 250 tribes in Nigeria. Does this then means that other tribes who feel unsatisfied with the benefit (where is the benefit sef) Nollywood tends to offer or is offering.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
If you want your life to be more valuable, you must realistically ask yourself how much you are worth, which should be calculated thus:
Deduct all the tax and government dues you pay. Divide your total take-home after tax by the total number of hours you work in a year. Whatever it results is what one's hour is worth.Matthew Ashimolowo

Hannah Robertson, Age 9, Chastises McDonald's CEO Over Junkfood
Still in the mood of celebrating children, 9years old Hannah Robertson has become a celebrity owing to her unimaginable effrontery to confront the CEO of McDonalds, Don Thompson, at McDonald's annual shareholders meeting in Chicago on May 23.
- "There are things in life that aren't fair—like when your pet dies. I don't think it's fair when big companies try to trick kids into eating food."
- "It would be nice if you stopped trying to trick kids into wanting to eat your food all the time."
- "Mr. Thompson, don't you want kids to be healthy so they can live a long and healthy life?"
These are direct quotes from Hannah Robertson.
Thompson's response to Hannah?
"We don't sell junk food."I look forward to a time like this in Nigeria when children's voices will count, when their opinions will be carefully observed and given due consideration.

Happy children's day to all children! Wait a minute, what would you do if this boy were your child? I just can't imagine how a boy as grown up as this could not write A - Z comfortably.
