Back to Work...and Chicken Wings

The strike is over.

After hours and hours of negotiations over the weekend, the Labour Unions called off the strike, saying they had reached an agreement with the FG.

Petrol pump price is still N70/litre but the Unions got the Government to commit to no further increases of petroleum product prices for a year. In addition, the FG is not to penalize any worker who took part in the strike.

So that’s it, the mini-holiday is over. No more watching movies til 3am, sleeping til late and all the other mini-holiday activities; it’s back to work tomorrow. I’m already dreading the traffic on 3rd Mainland; I’m sure every man, woman and dog will be on that bridge as from 6am. *aargh*

Now that VAT has been reverted to 5%, those chicken wings had better be back to N500 a portion by tomorrow, or else...
