Not during his election go back and watch her shows during the election. Even the interviews were clearly bias and APC paid this guy to campaign for them.

OK, I get you.

This guy is not serious

All I want from a young man like this is simple

100k minimum wage... This is how much it would cost government per month.... This is how I would raise the money

I would fix all road... This is how much it would cost to fix 25,000 km of federal road in 4 years... This is how I would raise the money

I would improve our university to world class.... This is how much the universities need and this is where the money would come from

I would fix power... This is what I would do... The cost and the source

This way people would know you are serious and even if you lose the winner would look at your manifesto and learn a thing or two at the end Nigeria grows (unless you are not doing this in the interest of Nigeria )

I have my solution to road, education, power, unemployment ( creation of 12 million jobs in 4 years) ,housing and transportation all in four years

All this people saying Vote me I would do this and do that without telling you how they would do it are all scams

Bros stop deceiving yourself, 100k minimum wage is very very possible. Let’s first cut frivolous spendings and you see say change go even Dey... you know how much this guys milk Nigeria’s economy by the day?

Is not the promise...


What happened to the 300+ promises of APC?

Under promise and execute more than enough.

Uncle why not mind Sahara?

If you truly want to be in Nigeria politics, Know for sure that VOTES don't count.

Saw you sourcing for funds via Fundme Platform.

You should know you're in for it before you summoned courage to appear in the Ocean of Nigeria politics.

millomaniac:


Sowore don fall hands, with this promise i can boldly say that this guy either does not know what he is saying or he is a scammer.

Our politicians make us believe a paying 100,000 minimum wage is unsustainable but end up stealing Billion dollars.

Just so you know what the numbers are, the total number of Federal Civil Servants across the country is less than 100,000. How muck Dasuki misappropriated would have paid the annual salary of over 500,000 workers.

Has he explained how precisely he intends to fund it?

I hate when people talk without stat

Total money allocated to national assembly, executive (allowance and salary) plus judiciary in one year can't pay 100k minimum wage of federal workers for a month

Prove me wrong and I give you 50k now

most politician and empty promises are like 5&6. they promises heavens but gives hells.

Sowore wrong move.... you should play chess more. You just had an epic fail without even contesting ... now to correct you...

You have to be very clear on our GDP explain why this is possible... you don't just come and type nonsense... sotigbo?

I also advice you consult a Good PR firm to win you for the people first... ironically you could be a good leader owing to the fact you have somehow been a crusader of corruption (Abi na eye service u dey do self).

My advice, repackage yourself and come out with an objective programmes... who no wan be president? Even monkey self like that position. Lol

Obviously not an economist. Apart from the shallow PR and support that he will initially receive from the civil servants, raising remuneration does not help in doing anything except raising inflation and ultimately devaluing the currency and making life harder. I hardly think that this is the end objective he has in mind, or that the Nigerian economy needs.
What we really need is forward thinkers, and pragmatic leaders with a good grounding in economics, not PR experts.

shut up you lair. talk is cheap

Have they re-opened his go-fund me account? Shey na from there he wan dey bin pay all of us? #getyourfactsstraight

I am very certain Omoleye Sowore is in Nairaland. You ask me why? I will tell you.

On a thread yesterday I made a comment and someone asked me how much I thought would be the right minimum wage for Nigerians, adding that their question was a serious one.

I gave my answer, only to see this announcement.

Well, nice one Mr Sowore, even though we are still campaigning for Buhari 2019, because he is the nearest route to Igbo Presidency in 2023.

We believe Igbo Presidency will fix Nigeria and give Igbos a greater sense of belonging in the Nigerian project.

As a result We advocate that Mr Sowore's voice be heard loud and clear in the hallowed halls of the Senate, advocating a better life for the Nigerian masses, and keeping the Executive on its toes.

who igbo presidency wan epp.... Instead of to talk country Na hw igbo man go be president all d position igbo pple de since 1999 Hw e benefits the poorest of d poor in afikpo nnewi ojoto aba etc

How many percentage of working class people do we have in Nigeria? Cut out executives expenditure on food and other irrelevant things, bring down the salaries of demerits and ministers, head of parastatals by 45%, block all loop-holes for corrupt politicians, my bro Nigeria would afford it with left overs.
Our president private jet stayed in Britain for 3month with evil and uncounted for spendings.
Presently the Labour group is fighting for minimum wage to be at 54,000,it can also stay at 100k.
2/3 of Nigeria’s workers work in private entities who caters for their salaries.
How many public workes do the government have to cater for in terms of salaries. Is there even Job to justify that this money won’t be enough.. bros government would pay this money and still pocket change

Make the Naira stronger and the current N18k minimum wage will buy a brand new car.

Sowore is obviously lacking basic fiscal and monetary policy understanding.

For crying out loud, raising the minimum wage from 18k to 100k will further impoverish the poor, widen the gap between the rich and the poor and permanently lead the nation to a drastic inflation/stagflation.

Let's not even debate the possibility of achieving that within 4 years from your unsustainable oil money, but how do you diversify a nation's economy in 4 years and still fund this phantom increment? Sowore is obviously a disaster, and he should be advised to drop that yahoo yahoo crowdfunding ideas.

He should concentrate effort on transforming Sahara Reporters from the current joke to a more edifying news platform.

Governance is not lotto abeg.

At the end of the day, intelligent people will always identify his intention which is: to scam people via crowdfunding cos even the animals know he won't win a local government election.

Sowore is worse than Buhari because he is corruptible. He supports you if you pay and turn his media against you if you don't. I don't support Buhari but I can boldly say he is not as corrupt as Sowore. His problem is incompetence.

The grass always looks greener when we look from the other side of the fence. We are tired of politicians just making beautiful promises (out of genuine intentions) which end up being an impossibility for them when they get to power.

Sowore can start by doing something differently; specifically by putting estimate figures begind the promises. Instead of engaging in the usual campaign jamboree promises which typical African politicians are fond of, Sowore should firstly do a thorough research and find out how much the total wage bill is for the federal civil service. He should then do a study to find out the recurrent cost burden of political office holders and appointees. If he can do that and provide us with real figures (or estimates) to back up his promise of reducing government cost and increasing the minimum wages, then that would really be a good intellectual start.

so private workers no deserve minimum wage abi....

It applies, but what I’m saying is that part isn’t even the government headache in terms of paying

Stop deceiving Nigerians

FarahAideed:
He clearly does not understand the problem

Whats the problem Sir/Ma

And he is already falling my hands. To think I was planning to give him my vote.

Does this guy know that, immediately minimum wage skyrockets, so will the inflation?

Why not work on making things cheap and naira strong, so that if you earn 3000 a month, it can actually sustain you.


He wants to start talking like another politician.

Bros, history have it that economics don’t work in Nigeria... when things go up in Nigeria, it keeps going up. The law of inflation and deflation hasn’t worked and still won’t work in Nigeria.
