Tunde Akinsanmi, ex-member of popular music group, Styl Plus, has said the government can afford to pay workers N100,000 minimum wage if it musters the political will to do so.

He stated this on Thursday in a chat with DAILY POST in Abuja.

Recall that the Chairman of Nigerian Governors Forum (NGF) and Governor of Zamfara state, Alhaji Abdul’aziz Yari, had said the proposed N30,000 minimum wage would be paid if labour would agree to downsizing of the workforce across the country.

Reacting to the governor’s statement, Tunde disagreed with him, saying, the nation had huge deposits of petroleum resources and adequate human capital to drive itself to prosperity and cater for the its workforce.

The music star, now known as Tunde T Dot, said: “The current N18,000 is already too low. To make matters worse, workers are not even paid regularly.

“When citizens become so aggressive, hurt each other, and attempt suicide, it is the same government that will prosecute the people for trying to take their own lives and those of others.

“For me, I think N100,000 is ideal minimum wage for workers and I think we can afford it because we have crude oil which, to me, is even a bonus.

“Most importantly, we have enough human capital to make our nation productive, develop, and prosperous.”

paying 100k/month will improve the living standards of workers..thats the last thing, govt in an under developed country wants to see materialize

“I stopped performing with Shifi and Zeal (of Styl Plus) in 2012 over lots of disagreements back then. It was such that we no longer talked to each other.” - Tunde T Dot

I find it hard to believe or take seriously anything from anyone who has an unforgiving spirit less an ignoramus. To pay 1.5% of the population and inflate the prices of commodities to 98.5% is outrageous.

The flashy lifestyle of top politicians isn't helping matters, though

Look at Dino Melaye's vintage car collection for instance...

olodo

The guy obviously has something upstairs, my kind of musician not all this ones dropping meaningless lyrics up and down and think life is all about the benjamins

Anything to stay relevant and trend, A lot of people make these uniformed and ignorant assertions based on what they hear everyone else saying, they have no idea how governments work yet they will jump on the cyberspace to reiterate and speculate on sensitive topics like these without logical rationale and deep thinking.

Infact Govt can pay N500k
