I had to scroll down to verify the source of this news.

If Sowore actually said this, he is not fit to lead Nigeria.

I'm expecting him to tell us what plan he has to develop the economy and not manifestoes like this.

Words like this hasn't made him different from the semiliterates that have been leading us.

lol ,ur one of those people that actually believe that Nigeria cannot afford that

lol , I laugh in Chinese


do u know how much money is leaked/ stolen monthly ? even with all this buhari nonsense anti corruption

dude the guy is in charge of Sahara reporters
do u have more information about the country than him?

Yankiss:

What he ought to say is how to strengthen the naira so that whatever wage one earns is economically sufficient. There is nothing with a N18k minimum wage. I have said it severally. The problem is maximum wage. The disparity in wages. A Senator is raking in about N36m Monthly. That is the problem. We can calibrate a maximum wage no more than ten times the minimum wage. This makes it illegal to earn more than N180K. Only then can fiscal sanity be enforced. A situation whereby N100k is minimum wage will lead to hyper inflation.

marvinsync:


we don't need it
old man

u know
reading all these post on nairaland
I am upset cause it seems like Nigeria does not want saving

u say " we don't want PDP or apc"

" we want a young person"
" we want increase in minimum wage"

now a guy has come with all three and now ur saying

" em, are u sure he can do it?"

go back and vote for buhari na and suffer like a foolish Nigerian

my guy will just go abroad and enjoy the rest of his life

Shakitibob0:
and 18k would lead to Hyper Poverty

sowore2019:
It is realistic, we did our homework before coming up with the proposal.

sonsomegrigbo:
Sahara reporters boss and one of the presidential hopefuls in the upcoming election in Nigeria, Omoyele Sowore has reiterated his stand in making sure minimum wage becomes N100,000.

Speaking at a conference in Lugbe, Abuja, the federal capital on Wednesday August 15, the presidential hopeful made the remark while answering questions from journalists, explaining the motivation behind his vigorous pursuit of the highest office in the country.
This also came on the occasion of the formal public announcement of the political party he would vie for presidency in the 2019 presidential elections.

Declaring his readiness under the flagship of one of the newly registered 23 political parties by INEC, Sowore made it plain that he is convinced that his ambition would be realized on the platform of the African Action Congress (AAC). According to him, the party has the emblem of two hands and in Sowore’s words “ without the hands, you can neither hold the umbrella nor the broom. The two hands will hold the umbrella and the broom and throw them away.”

Revealing the party name and the reason behind its choice, the presidential aspirant spoke passionately about the various plans the party has in store for Nigerians stressing that launching the party was the day the Nigerian youths had impatiently waited for.
“The very day we have all being waiting for has come. Today is the day the revolution we have been asking for will start in Nigeria. I have been saying for a long time that the day we launch our party will become the expiration day for the APC and PDP.” He began.

“What has happened today is a culmination of serious works and mobilizations. He continued. “Everybody in Nigeria had expected I would join one of the existing political parties but we decided that our kind of agenda; our programs and gigantic plans for Nigeria, cannot be accommodated within the existing political structure and we decided to launch our own political party.

Today, we have the party that is known as the African Action Congress (AAC). The reason for choosing Africa is strategic. We are looking beyond Nigeria immediately because for every ten Africans you see, five to seven of them are Nigerians”.

While reading out the party manifestoes, Sowore avowed clearly that the AAC has an unwavering vision to execute projects that would cover electricity reform, teaching and general overhauling of the health sector, among others, all providing an empowering environment for massive job opportunities totaling five million for Nigerians with a sizeable minimum wage.

“We have for you a fantastic minimum wage” he announced to a large cheering crowd of party faithfuls. “Hundred Thousand Naira is what we plan to provide for Federal Civil Servants in the country and for Youth Corps members (NYSC), we have planned to pay the same amount. Every Youth Corps member would get the same amount as government worker.”

In addition, he stressed that the party agenda targeted at changing Nigeria fundamentally, and by extension change the continent of Africa for good and unite all Africans on the continent so they can live the kind of life that they deserve.

“A life of abundance in security, in power, in infrastructure, a life without corrupt old cargoes who have destroyed our educational system, health system and infrastructure. A life that has economy that works for all that provides jobs for young people, a life of opportunities so that the child of nobody can become somebody in Nigeria,” he concluded.

Yankiss:

You are an economic illiterate so you won't ever understand. Some states are finding it difficult to pay the minimum wage as it is today. If 18K can buy three times the present purchasing power, it is better than a 100k that cannot buy a loaf of bread. Strengthen the naira by tightening the economic indices. More naira in circulation is not how to do it. The moment you announce a new minimum wage, every other goods and services take wing. Transport fare increases, food sellers increase the price of their goods. In some instances, you will only feel a downward pull on your purchasing power as a result of this. You have more money that has not increased your purchasing power. It is called inflation!! How are they going to source the fund to pay this new wage now where the old rate is difficult?

This is why I am not particularly keen on voting the so called members of the younger generation who want to lead, most of them have little or no experience and don't even bother to do their research well.

You just lost my vote Mr. Sowore

stagger:
For me, the minimum wage is not the problem. The issue is how unproductive the civil service has been over the years. Go to a typical civil service office. You see 1 person typing stuff on a computer, one person shuffling papers, one person toasting bread for sale, and 6 persons doing nothing but gisting with occasional glances at the office clock, hoping it will get to 4pm fast.

Now are these the people we will pay N100,000 to, when all over the world, small businesses are constituting the greatest employers of labour?

What country can make progress with such a structure? This structure must be fixed first before we now know what to pay the productive ones who will be left.

Shakitibob0:
Lol....@economic illiterate
So this is all you know about Inflation....SMH
Go study more

Jacobmanny:

please, dont come about experience as a reason not to vote a young aspirant. How many of the current political office holder were experienced before getting the seat of power? The longevity of years lived isnt enough yardstick to measure ones experiencial knowledge. Those with years of experience has ended up disharmonising the country through religious propaganda and other means to feed their bellies. I aint blindly pro youth either, but we should judge by mere headlines

Donald Duke is young and at the same time he has the experience, that is the type of person I can vote.

This one clearly doesn't even understand the magnitude of the problem Nigeria is facing ..where are you going to get the 100 thousand Naira from?
