Thank your God if Bubu ever pays 30k as minimum wage or even 25k. But for the House's latest talk on the minimum wage, had you guys not gone dumb?.

56k for what work!! undecided

I can only agree with this on one condition
The work place is revamped for productivity..

Civil service has the highest amount of unproductive workers in the country.. Many earn money for doing virtually nothing!!
Many workers in the civil service will need to removed.. government is not a pity party association.

Nigerians are productive. They are just not properly motivated.

What is the productivity of senators and representatives for receiving N29 million from us?

I will prefer making it a minimum of N500/hour for unskilled and semi-skilled. That will motivate workers to be more productive. Suppose a worker works 10hours a day,it will be equivalent to N5,000 while for 20 days will be a minimum of N100,000. At an exchange rate of N360/dollar,this N100,000 is roughly $278 which isnt too much. Any worker that offers zero hour of work will get zero income. If u go on strike for no justifiable reasons,u also get zero income. Hourly payment is a better option.

I absolutely agree with you. per hour pay will make people more productive.

Some see this proposed increment as good news,however,for me,i have mixed feelings, with this increment will likely come an increase in the prices/costs of goods and services that might cancel out the percentage increase leading to inflation which will add pressure to the value of the naira...of course there will be more money in circulation but of what use is having more money with a less than proportional purchasing power....
My point is this, there must be a price regulation/price fixing policy to counter/cushion the effects of the minimum wage increase...

over one million naira is budgetted for newspapers for an average senator in Nigeria. What newspapers are they reading? Is the money for those newspapers plucked from trees? Do u know how much they budget as ''hazard allowance''? Which hazard? If the politicians are having finances for their extravagant lifestyles doing nothing,how about the workers? At the rate I mentioned above,the annual average income will be N1.2million which is a senator's newspaper allowance. This is roughly $3,334 a year!!!

See how easy it is for you to say "minimum of N100,000". angry Take your calculator and do simple mathematics before talking outside of reality.

You think you can jack up that cleaner's wages to 100k without jacking up the Doctor's own by the same or almost the same percentage? undecided
what is N100,000,a worker's salary, compared to an average senator's monthly salary of N29,000,000? If it is possible for the politicians,how about the workers?

The senators you are talking about, how many are they? The worker we're talking about, how many are they?

You are practically comparing a grain of black rice to the multitude of grains of white rice in a sack of rice.

If a cleaner earns 100k per month, then a doctor earning 180k must earn at least 500k per month. The person earning 200k must earn at least 600k per month. I'm just being lenient with figures because by the time you see the real calculations by percentage, you go kuku faint! grin grin grin

Let me give u a case study...
The FIRS became autonomous some years back.. Workers salaries were revamped more than 200% in some cases..
Productivity is still the same.. The system is not built to encourage productivity.. Too many people doing the work for 1 person..
Go to ministry of mines, they resume work at 11 am.. That is the story of many of the ministries, yet salaries are being paid monthly..

When we start making our senators work instead of celebrating their dance moves we can expect civil servants to also be productive.

according to my analysis, N500 atN360/ is equivalent to $1.4 an hour. Suppose a person works 10hours a day,this is only equal to $14 a day! This isn't too much considering the enormous resources we have as long as we ensure maximum and efficient utilisation of our resources.

I can still recall some months ago when the minister of finance said that FG spends 65 billion on wages every month, which is about 780 billion per annum. Increasing salary by over 455 percent will be increasing it to over 3.5 trillion per annum. Those nations you guys are using as yardsticks, do you really know how much their annual budgets are for just military alone? Or just health alone?

our senators and reps budget over N120billion on themselves and aids every year! They are less than 1% of total population. We can acheive it if we effectively block our losses to politicians and their aids.

I hope you know that dollars belongs to the nation that you are referring to? Lol grin grin UK, US, Australia, France, Germany, Spain Switzerland, etc are countries using high currencies. Euros, Pounds and Dollars na their currencies o. Hehehehe. grin grin grin This is really funny bro.

I guess you want Nigeria to be the next Venezuela? Nigeria has no "real" income apart from oil, just like Venezuela. The problem with Venezuela was that they were living like US when they weren't even earning close to what US earns.

I hope you also know that private firms will come under pressure? Businesses will fold up because they can't afford the wages OR they will hike their prices to be able to afford it.

Can you see a pattern of problems now? These things WILL happen! It's guaranteed, not under probability.

just that our currency is almost valueless. If my one naira yesterday can afford goods of 50 naira today,I will be satisfied with my one naira. Even if they increase it to N100,000,the money still can't afford much!!! That is why Nigerians are clamouring for more money instead of clamouring for increase in the real value of the naira! Imagine $1=N365!!! Having just 2 bills of $100 is N36,500!
