Pls they should go on strike for 5weeks.I want to rest and relax,am just tired of this country.

Edoloaded:
That is the main reason why I keep on saying that nigeria needs to be restructured because some state are more economically stronger than others and as such you cannot expect both of them to move in the same speed.

Restructuring will give each state the chance to move even faster economically than how it is right now just take lagos state as an example.

Let the state decide how they can manage their workforce let them decide what they can pay because not all of them r strong economically like the rest and the federal government cant seem to understand this simple principle...

If that happens, what will happen to states like Ekiti?

If plateau can pay 50k, then d rest can pay it. But thief thief won't allow em see house. Stupid governors, em wan own private jets. Em lucky say military pple no get their time. Bloody fools.

Nigerians and lofty but unrealistic ambitions.

States that cant afford to pay workers at current minimum wage and are borrowing to subsidize wages are offering to pay above and beyond what is offered from federal.

Do these states have substantial IGR to fund their lofty offers or is this just another case of "me too, look at me"?

I think the workers in these states should ask their governments to outline how they will meet the increased wages when the current lower levels is a burden they are having diffuclty resolving.

Dannyset:
Whether this thing has political undertone, I don't want to know. Government should look for how to do it and pay the money. The workers have suffered too much in this country. They are the ones who make the money yet it's the stupid politicians that eat the most of it.

If 30k is what they are requesting for, please agree and stop the nonsense impending strike.

tell them

is not promising millions, is about sustainability and regular payment.

This is a trap, i don’t believe this things. Abia state that is owing months of salaries agrees to pay 42,000! Oh hell NO! The state government are playing politics it

The monies spent by these Governor s to bribe delegate is more than enough to pay N30,000 minimum wage....... Una fit bleep olosho with 200k per night and refuse to pay workers una dey lie

DonFreshmoney:
Where is plateau getting money from to pay N57k??

they export cold!

Realname:
[s][/s]

Shut up

Nobody asked you

somebody is saying something meaningfull and you are saying shutup you will be worst more than abacha if you are chanced to be a leader

What I need to know is "What exactly are the civil servants doing as government workers"?

In what capacity have they produced anything?

TonyeBarcanista:
We should be realistic in this country. You will see States that aren't productive and unable to execute any project playing to the minimum wage increment narrative because of politics.

Nigeria states are unhighly unproductive, all they do is go to Abuja at the end of every month to collect their own share of petrodollars to pay to civil servants and wait for the next month. They don't execute any project nor develop key sectors.

While I support this increment, I believe it may have little or no effect on Workers' welfare as long as we remain on the path of unproductivity.

God bless Nigeria

Okoroawusa:

what is this one saying?

How can you comprehends when you blocked your thalamus with your hatred against IPOB

Repent, Biafra restoration is near.


IPOB is not just in setting Biafrans free, IPOB is the universe representative of INDIGENOUS PEOPLE FREEDOM including the very yours. Like it or hate it. BIAFRA IS HERE

By now it should be clear to any discerning mind that FG is the reason why minimum wage is not yet implemented. Buhari-led government sees no sense in raising the minimum wage but will find a way to blame the state governments for such. Somebody should please relay this 'ABC' of mimimum wage increase to that yam head, as it was done in the past.

A. Federal Government announces a new mimimum wage
B. FG and state government allocations are increased through the FAAC.
C. A bill is sent to the National Assembly.

Hope I have helped that brain-dead fossil in Aso Rock?

the fg is saying no money,we want to sell national assets,workers want new minimum wage,government officials and senators won't agree to reduce their wages,the country's economy is in coma.


Nigeria matter fit make person go crazy.

MrImole:
There should also be a considerable maximum wage for these retards we call leaders.

Gbam! Place them on regulated wage and watch them run away from politics.

Death penalty for corrupt public workers mean booming industry for coffin makers because most civil/public workers are corrupt. (80%).


Our population will drop by 30% in 4 years lol

Yes if they reduce workforce by 50% and only exist to pay salaries. Talking about unproductive states

frenzyduchess:
Every state in Nigeria can pay this money, don't be deceived . They are only crying because there will not be enough left for them to loot and to fund the lavish lifestyle of the family members

Expect market traders to increase foodstuff prizes once minimum wage increases

Kano said #30600, where you see #47,000?

micflo28:
lol bro it depends on the total no. Of workers under the state civil service payroll. I guess they have the fewest. Kano and lagos has the most yet kano is willing to pay 47k. That is wonderful of kano though the governor must answer for his bribery case

It's been a while a read a sensible post from a zombie. Kudos mai suya

which post are you contesting for, you got my vote plus my whole ward

*MINIMUM WAGE PALAVER!*
(Think of 30k for 12 months, 35years in service of a civil servant still less what a Senator earn in a year. Hmmm...)



_*Breakdown*_
"If 30,000 is approved.
30,000 X 12 = 360,000 in a year
If a worker works for the maximum 35 years
360,000 X 35 = 12, 600,000
Which means what the minimum wage earner will receive in his LIFETIME of work is less than what a senator receives in a MONTH, apart from his salary"........
Hummm. This is the area I expected Nigerians *(NLC)* take to their various social media platforms and condemn the injustice and salary disparity instead of ranting silly on irrelevant strike to worsen poverty level in Nigeria.

You get sense o. Very educational

Lagos State remains the most dubious state I've ever known,Lagos paid only 12k as minimum wage as against 18k from time, as rich as Lagos is in terms of revenue generation yet the state has always been cheating its workers coupled with heavy tax, useless governors and so called Tinubu.

frenzyduchess:
Every state in Nigeria can pay this money, don't be deceived . They are only crying because there will not be enough left for them to loot and to fund the lavish lifestyle of the family members

Its impossible only south-south states has enough to pay it.All these states are just coming up with figures because of re-election

kennygee:
Kogi state's Yahaya Bello won't say anything. He is busy buying his thugs Hilux and his babes SUVs.

One of his drivers I know just built a standard 3 bedroom flat.

The Goblin hasn't paid salaries since October last year, even tho he gets allocations and has gotten the Paris fund other states got.

Why won't he be silent?

What an ozuo.

Pesin wey don swallow devil...
nai you dey expect to mean well
for the workers and state?

The guy wickedness na legendary walai Torturing my people to suicidal extent.
But God is above watching us all
and He will reward everybody
according to our deeds.

You have helped to highlight the brand of failure you Atikulants are proposing for the country.

Your response shows you lack intellect in how govt should work .

First - the FG minimu wage is a minimum threshold. Meaning that no State in the federation can pay lower than that nominal amount, whether in private or public sector. There is no problem if they pay more than that minimum.

Second - not all States are at same standard of living. A worker earning 100,000 and living comfortably in Markudi will need wage adjustment if he were to relocate on a transfer to Lagos.

Third - wage factors into retirement savings and earnings.

Fourth - we operate a capitalist market in Nigeria. Factors of demand and supply should determine wage bands, and government intervention should be very minimal beyond its role as regulator of market.

Now, read what i just wrote and reflect on what you posted before.

Do you still think Buhari is to blame?

Spot on!

But my guy these northern political leaders will accept.

While south Western counterparts like Tinubu, Osibanjo, Fashola etc will be looking so confused n clueless as regards to Fiscal restructuring

I am against this strike. Nlc has not gone on strike for states owing salary it is going on strike for increments when the country cannot pay 18k
