HOW THE COUNTRY CAN PAY MINIMUM WAGE COMFORTABLY..........



1. Abolish SECURITY VOTE in NIGERIA. Nigeria will pay N45,000 minimum wage comfortably.

2. a) Abolish CONSTITUENCY PROJECT FUNDS
b) Reduce no of ADVISERS to SENATE PRES(2), HOUSE SPEAKER(2), GOVs(4), PRESIDENT(5), VP(2)
c) Reduce current ALL Political Office Holders PAY CHEQUES by 51.5%, without exception
d) Do away with special remuneration to POLITICAL ADVISERS & PUBLIC SERVANTS eg; Purchase of Private Vehicles, Houses, granting Govt paid Vacations, paying for 1st & Business Class Transportations, etc, etc...
e) Abolish payment of OVERSEAS MEDICAL BILLS for Political Office Holders
f) Eliminate PRIVATE PRACTICE in public workforce
g) Eliminate participation of Public Workforce in Partisan Politics
h) Institute EMPLOYMENT BY MERIT, and eliminate UNDEREMPLOYMENT
i) Review and eliminate allocation of Govt paid POLITICAL AIDES & SUPPORT STAFF to Political Office Holders.

With (1) + (2) Nigeria would pay a minimum wage of N65,000 comfortably

3. Move Nigeria MORE to Private Sector Driven Economy
a) Privatise ALL of Federal Govt PARASTATALS & reduce Federal Direct Funded AGENCIES to 68% of the present.
b) Privatise ALL of STATE Govt PARASTATALS & reduce State Direct Funded AGENCIES to 19% of the present.
c) Reduce current DIRECT LABOUR JOB participation by 49%
d) Encourage more Working Hours until Nigerian economic stabilizes
e) Discourage UNIONISM in Public Workforce

With (1) + (2) + (3), Nigeria would pay a minimum wage of N101,500 comfortably.


4) Institute DEATH PENALTY to proven THEFT OF PUBLIC FUNDS no matter how little, and LIFE Jail Sentences for COLLABORATORS.

With (1) + (2) + (3) & (4), Nigeria would pay a minimum wage of N203,500 comfortably.

At a time like this I feel confused on what to say as to who is supposed to shift grounds.

Why increase minimum wage, then increase everything alongside? Like Driver's license, tax, plate numbers, import duty etc thus making the money meaningless.

I would have wished for the government to rather add value to the money, (maybe $1=#100).So that #18,000 would be worth present day #64,800. But not in this country. If we wait for that people would have died already.

Senators and governors salary plus allowances in Nigeria aren't known. They're only speculated. Let's assume a senator earns 20M monthly and allowances up to 5M. That'll be 25M.

Which means if you work as an #18,000 recipient all your life, you would have only ended up earning a total of #21,600,000 (100years which is impossible). Not up to a senator's 1 month take home.

If you divide 25M by #18000 that is 1,389 peoples salary. Multiplied by over 100 senators, 200 H of Rep Members, and 36 Governors. That's about 466,666people's salary. Haba!

We're our own problem. We vote rogues to represent us, while professors observe as collating officers.

We can't sow yam and expect beans.
thanks for this analysis, NLC has just pushed Nigerians to more difficult problems, increasing the minimum wage and inflating the cost of things is a wicked one from this government

Supporting a rise in the minimum wage is supporting the sustenance of the impoverishment of labour...minimum wage increase is just an increase in nominal wages and not real wages. What labour ought to be clamoring for is a massive investment in agriculture by the government. One of the major components of the consumer price index is the food price index and its volatility impacts on the consumer price volatility as well as the inflation rate. If the government makes food supply as essential as electricity supply by investing massively in agriculture, meeting the national demand for food and raw materials and augmenting its income with proceeds from agriculture like it does with crude oil I assure you there will be no need for minimum wage increase...Food and agricultural produce prices are linked to the price of every goods and service in Nigeria and if its price is crashed by an abundant supply, the price of many of other goods and services will reduce...our government is just daft, the pile of people presently contesting for presidency are mostly daft and those who are atikulating obituary and those who are lining up behind Buhari are quite daft as well...

A wicked one from the government? Is it the government agitating for an increase in the minimum wage? Or are we missing something here!?
