Protests cripple Nigeria's oldest newspaper
Nigeria's oldest newspaper, the Daily Times, did not appear on Friday as more than 1 000 workers protested the non-payment of their salaries and allowances over the past 15 months, workers and unions said.

"We insisted that they should not publish on Friday for their action to be effective. We want to assist the workers, including non-journalists, to achieve their goal," said Funke Fadugba of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ).

One of the workers, who asked not to be named, said the non-payment of her salary for the past 15 months has frustrated her wedding plans.

So the Bush/Cheney Oil murderers of CheveronTexaco have been diverting employee salaries to the aWol campaign in America!
