bad belle

bad belle, abi? when d economy is d way it is, and he has 'three' more days to go, why does he want to create problem for d incoming gov?

Rolings:


Badbelle it's not because he will be leaving in a few months but because three years ago the minimum wage was not due for review. And he is not owing salaries so just stop crying more than the bereaved

OK!

Since you are the bereaved hea, and u are now more Edolite than my self, was Oshiomole not in office 5yrs ago when the minimum wage was reviewed?

Didn't he shout to high heavens that he can't pay?
Even at that #16k how many civil servants in Edo receives salary as at when due?

He's leaving office now, instead to promise and ensure prompt payment and whilst NLC is still in dialogue with FG over minimum wage,he gone ahead and increase it when he has few months to go after 8yrs in office!

Bad belle kills faster than bullet!!!

Nothing fit satisfy human being, you nor do, you wicked, you do, they propound theories!!

If we look deep now, you are not from the state or a member of the workforce!! Just angry for no good reason!!!

Think!!! Somebody has been on a seat for almost 8 years and in a few months before his departure, he is giving a Greek gift. Adams might have thought Edo people dummies to come up with such a very not _too_smart idea, and expect them to buy it

Nice development.

Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State, how far?

metronaija:
Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State on Sunday announced a new minimum wage of N25,000 with effect from May 1, 2016 for workers.

Oshiomhole who was addressing a rally organised by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC), to mark this year’s Workers’ Day at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin, announced the increment from the present N18, 000 minimum.

“With effect from today, the new minimum wage for government workers shall now be N25,000, and the new minimum wage ‎will cut across board”, the former trade union leader said.

The workers who before the announcement had expressed dissatisfaction over their poor welfare jumped for joy and happily marched in appreciation of the new minimum wage as announced by
Earlier in their respective speeches, the Chairman of NLC, Comrade Emma Ademokun and his TUC counterpart, Comrade Ohue Marshal, had expressed concern over a number of problems affecting Nigerians.

Some of them are the persistent scarcity of petroleum product, epileptic power supply and illegal electricity tariff increase.

They also mentioned spiralling increase in cost of living, insecurity, kidnapping, rampaging herdsmen, Boko Haram, irregular payment of salaries resulting in accumulation of arrears, growing rate of unemployment with the attendant social vices‎.

The Workers’ Day rally was however marred with low turn out of workers.

The new wage minimum wage comes at a time no fewer than 27 states in Nigeria are finding it difficult to pay workers.

inconclusive increasement

Louislewis:
[size=18pt]Still very poor. An average single Nigerians, not married, spend nothing less than one thousand naira a day without house rent, just on feeding, transportations and miscellaneous . This increment is still not enough and therefore useless.[/size]

OK, so he sud have left it at 18000 thousand naira na, since 25000 is poor. other state sud increase their own to 25k first, then will can move forward from there.

For just one moment why can't nigerians be grateful for any improvement. I believe he has tried his best, let's just thank God for the move he took.

Yeye man.

Kudos. What you can afford, you promised. But please pay. Other governors should emulate.

blithe2nice:
Why dididn't he increased it since,only now that he is about to leave the position. Osho mo OLE.....

Maka y? Humans will always be insatiable. Anything someone does good or bad, people must talk ( find fault). If he hadn't increased it, what would you have done? If you see something good, biko show appreciation not minding the doer. Appreciation they say, .... you know the rest..

Most people commenting have not been to Edo before,

iliyande:
Nawaoo

Is it because he is about to go?

My thoughts exactly. He is creating a big challenge for the next man. But again, if he is going to sustain this till he leaves, its a good thing for his state

I just hope my good people of Edo state will not fall for this cheap politics by the APC!

We need positive change in Edo state!

I have a dream that the rejected stone in Edo state shall be the CHIEF CORNERSTONE!

Vote for PDP and power shall indeed return to the people of Edo state.

P!!!!!!D!!!!!P!!!!

Power to the people!

Deception of the highest order. A state that could not pay her dues some times ago has suddenly increased the minimu wage. It's either oshiomole is trying hard to improve the debt profile of the state or he is simply doing this simple because of the election coming in Edo state. It's a pity deception at its pick again.

Pls, this is evil. Why didn't he increase it during his 8 year rule? Because he is about to hand over to the next government he increased it just to cause problems for the incoming Governor.

This is political wickedness! He hasn't sat down to map out how IGR will increase to cushion the effect of the small state allocation.

If the incoming Governor comes in and reverses the minimum wage, he will be termed 'wicked' and OshoBaba 'Saint'

We know all these things, forget!

Mtcheeeew

If people can fall for this. I pity we Africans SMH

waiting for the implementation of the increment of proposed Nysc monthly allowance

To be fair, edo state is punching well above its weight when it comes to IGR.

Good stuff!

He may be a bad belle. But, Oshiomole should pay my mum her pension and gratuity. She last received her pension May, 2015.
