Black X-mas For Bayelsans

This is not the  2006 slasher film written and directed by Glen Morgan which tells the story of a group of sorority sisters who are stalked and murdered by the house's former inhabitants during a winter storm. The reality Bayelsan found themselves in, is more than a horror movie. Some still don't believe that the Bayelsa State government will at this time of the year dish out half salary to it worker especially the local government workers. This only portray the insensitivity of the Bayelsa State government toward Local Government workers and the Zombies of caretakers of the council who are hungry to do the governor's bidden. 

Despite the many month owed local government workers, the Government of Bayelsa are so parochial about their plight. What will a worker who receive #20,000 per month do with #10,000 this X-mas? A worker in Yenagoa local government council complain bitterly to one of our correspondent about the ill fated half of salary being dished out to them. According to him, his full salary is about #26,000 which could not even meet the need of his family now. "My problem now is not even what my children will wear on Xmas but what they will eat. My landlord his equally expecting me to pay my rent which expired two month ago"  he said.

Before now, the news circulating Bayelsa was that the government will pay two month salary to it worker both state and the local government council, as to enable them celebrate the X-mas. But with half of a salary, what can they do when the creditors this poor workers are in dept to, all want  a share out of the half salary. The caretakers of this Local Governments Council especially Yenagoa, cares less about their workers welfare and more about stupid projects which benefits the workers in no ways. The black X-mas experience 2016 will be dearly remembered by this poor civil servant.

It is high time Nigerian take to the street, our destiny lies with us and not the government. Let Vote For Positive Change a mist hungry and selfish politicians both in state and federal level.
