Five years after, seven sacked workers return
Five years after their sack, some Yaba College of Technology (YABATECH), Lagos State workers, who were reinstated in January, relived their fight for re-absorption. KOFOWOROLA BELO-OSAGIE reports.
Theirs is a story of all is well that ends well. Five years after their sack, they were reinstated. To celebrate their return seven chartered accountants with Yaba College of Technology (YABATECH) gathered friends, colleagues and members of various civil society organisations (CSOs) for a thanksgiving reception.
Eight of them were sent away between October 2013 and December 2014 during the tenure of the immediate past Rector, Dr Kudirat Ladipo because “their services were no longer needed.”
One of them, Basiru Adedeji, died before they were reabsorbed. He died in February, last year.
At the thanksgiving reception, their leader Mr Olu Ibirogba, thanked CSOs like Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP), Civil Liberties Organisaiton (CLO), Coalition Against Corrupt Leadership (CACOL), Centre for the Defence of Human Rights (CDHR) and the media for standing by them in their time of great need.
“We are here today because of those of you, who have decided to lend helping hands to those who are in distress.  We are using this platform to thank our brothers and sisters for stretching their hands of assistance to us not asking for money to help us.  We thank God eight of us were sent away, but we are back at work,” he said.
Ibirogba was the bursar when he was sacked in October 2013. Six others, Bamidele Ajinde (Chief Accountant); Olusola Dada (Chief Accountant), his wife, Gbemisola (Chief Accountant); Mopelola Ibitomi (Assistant Chief Accountant); Temilola Akinwusi (Assistant Chief Accountant) and the late Adedeji  were sent away a year later in September 2014.  Charles Akharayi (Chief Accountant), the eighth person, got his termination letter in December 2014.
They resumed on January 15, 2019. But Ibirogba was reinstated five months before others.

This 25-year-old mother of one with J cup breasts is suffering from macromastia, a rare condition that causes abnormal enlargement of the breast tissue. Fiona Hornby  from  Bolton, Greater Manchester,  has struggled with the size of her breasts since the age of 10, which grew from a C cup to a 48 J during puberty. According to Fiona, who is now housebound due to their gigantic size, her life has been 'ruined' by the size of her breasts. The payroll clerk and mum-of-one who was diagnosed with macromastia in 2015, claims she even struggles to leave the house because of the back pain and avoids breastfeeding four-month-old son  William  for fear of suffocating him. She said: 'My huge breasts have ruined my life. They have affected everything. 'My self-esteem has hit rock bottom, I can't find any clothes that fit and can't wear the same things as people my age. 'I have terrible back pains caused by the weight of my breasts. I can't ho...

At least 17 men including a woman were reportedly nailed to crosses in the Philippines in an act of devotion to re-enact the crucifixion of Jesus on Good Friday. In San Fernando City, Pampanga province, hundreds of tourists watched in shock as actors dressed as Roman soldiers hammered four-inch nails through the hands and feet of Filipinos into a wooden cross for the 33rd time. “I thought they wouldn’t be nailed but they were really nailed, and it was for me a great event to see it live,” said German tourist Johann Tenken. Devotees, including 58-year old Ruben Enaje who has performed the act 33 times, believe their penance will wash away their sins, cure illness and lead to blessings. Enaje was among the four people who were nailed to crosses in the village, including a woman taking part for the 17th time. Five other Filipinos were nailed to crosses in two other villages in Pampanga. “At the end of the day, you have to respect the people doing this because th...
