And where in this country do you think there will be good pay? The mistake you're making is reasoning like a normative economist. In Nigeria, positive economist is what holds sway (the political angle which is ALWAYS synonymous with corruption is ALWAYS a factor,which by the way oughtn't be).

Why? In normal situations deregulation should bring about what you opined but, it can never happen in a country as corrupt as Nigeria. So civil servants knowing this are just being proactive by issuing this warning.

It is very true that N18k minimum wage is too small for Nigerian wokers, but as an office assistant in Ijebu Ode LGA, comparing your salary to that of the NA member is too much to wish for. .

Forget the big grammar! what does deregulation mean? It simply means that a worker in lagos can not earn the same as that of someone in Bauchi. Each state should determine what they can pay. Otherwise investors will flee poorer states.

Political office holders aren't meant to recoup their capital after they get into public office. This isn't business. If you want to profit from capital spent then get into a business.

in the Uk, all members of House of Commons and all the members of House of Lords pay for their house rents and other bills. The only official residence is for the Prime minister (10 Downing Street) this is a country whose GDP is bigger than the entire sub-sahara Africa.

In Nigeria, house members don't pay for fuel even for their private cars. Yet they receive 30million per month. That's why every dick want to go there at all cost. Our cost of government is criminally expensive.

But all state house of representative members receive same salary irrespective of state. Don't you think the federal law makers should start with themselves first ?

House of Representatives members though from different states are not workers of the states but workers of the FG so I don't see why their salaries should differ. States don't pay them, the FG does. What we should rather be calling for with all seriousness is a reduction in their take home pay which is quite humumgous.

I hear you, how come the NASS didn't deregulate their own wages so that we the masses can decide what they take home at the end of the month? Abeg make I hear word bros.

Thew reps are a tiny , inconsequential minority. Private sector companies dont need them in their emoployment.

If wages are too high in these poor states, companies will not go there.

Low cost of production has always been a strong motivation for companies to move to less developed or costly areas.

Today, in Germany, East Germany is seriously lagging behind because East German wages are set too high relative to their level of productivity.

You would expect companies to be flooding their as its the poorer side but because wages are relatively high, that has not occured

“This time around, it is not going to be business as usual. We will mobilise millions of Nigerian workers, including other oppressed citizens as well as the international community to resist this negative action of members of the National Assembly in Nigeria because this country belongs to all of us"
