No argument again, my prayer is I will be there to celebrate in the land of our dream with our president buhari come February 2019

Confusion Incorporated!!!
PDP in October : Atiku will soon visit America
PDP in early November: Atiku has obtain America visa
PDP in mid November: Atiku will go to America by the end of November
Atiku in late December: What will I go and do in America?
Nigerians, do you see why we are saying that we can't give our country to these people again?
Next level is the answer!

This became imperative due to the fact that we're entering the polls soon but I fear for our civil servants cos they may get owed several months by governors that claim they cannot afford the increment

They have been out of touch for so long, vote in a man that knows the true needs of a regular Nigerian.

Ok

Check erected nipple and forget all this things

Straight to the NEXT LEVEL we go.

Buhari is a listening and working man

Wow.... Wat a gud news
Waiting for #febuhari

good

Great!

let's hope they implement, APC is government of deceit

The fear of Nigerian electorate is the beginning of wisdom for dullardin of Sudan.

I know that this wage increase is election-prompted, not sincere commitment. After minimum wage there is also need to review maximum wage, the real devil. We also have to calibrate a maximum wage that is, say, 10 times the minimum wage for all public servants. You can now have the highest echelon of public servants including presido earning no more than 300k where 30k is minimum wage. The problem is not just the poorest wage earners but what people take home in some instances. The high wage gap cum disparity is the problem we have.

not febuatiku

Isoright

Good
But am a pdp supporter
If buhari can make all federal government parastatals to key into integrated payroll system
I swear i will love that man because Nigeria workers are cheated without that integrated payroll system

.
The brainless dullard should forward the New Minimum Wage Bill to NASS for
passage into law and stop sponsoring silly propaganda in the media

.

Cool.
