I seriously don't agree with my governor on this.

We know for a fact that one of the reasons for corruption in Nigeria is low take home pay by workers. Civil servants cannot afford to build a house, buy a car or at least afford standard 3 square meals. This gives rise to poverty among civil servants who will either find alternate ways to make ends meet of take.

With Civil servants exempted from state or federal parliatives, and then price of food stuff has increased 60% in the past weeks then a forced salary cut. When the government is supposed to even give additional parliatives, they have decided to transfer their burden of providing health care facilities, affordable infrastructure and the other state responsibility to civil servants. It is absolutely wrong and very insensitive of the governor.

If any Civil servant that has a 100k salary with a loan of any kind say 30k, the person will be left with less than 50k and then have to spend more since price of food has gone up. At the rate of 60% surge on food prices, the civil servant will be left with 20k. That means hardship.

60% of food price surge plus 25% state deduction means a civil servant salary drops by 85%! That is highly wicked of the governor.

Can I ask you a question, are you one of those impacted? It's easy to say something is fair until you are the one impacted. Why should it be made mandatory for people to contribute anything?

ddippset:
The problem with is in this country is what I call delusion and ignorance.

The way we always shiit palliative palliative is so evident that majority are ignorant of the state of Nigeria since the military era.

We are a country of 200 million producing only crude oil but everyone wants the government to feed 150 million people everyday.

Hmn

Let's do some math.

Let's use a conservative figure of #500 per day per person.

That is #75 Billion in one day.

Which is #2.25 Trillion in one month.

The people shouting palliative palliative upadan want the FG to feed us wth #2.25 Trillion every month

How much is our revenue?

El Rufia has come up with a good initiative.

Drop the hate for once.

mrvitalis:
This is the way to go honestly ...civil servants eat 60% of our revenue at least

If El rufai was not tribalistic he would have had my vote come 2023 ....

He and sanusi have the balls to do what needs to be done when it needs to be done

NaijaRoyalty:
Very wicked and heartless APC leaders.

APC must be wiped out of our political space in 2023 .

Useless thieves .

Izigha:

Some state are not even going to pay . Please o name the countries that are increasing salary at this time

LordAdam:


Also walk in the shoes of people who have not made a dime in 1 month because they're shuttered in.

If you're asking them to stay home without respite for the next 30 days for public health reasons, it is your civic responsibility to make sacrifices as well. No be only the bottom 50% go make sacrifices for us, we also have to make sacrifices for them.

This should be a federal policy and should apply to every worker and business man in the country with take-home pay or revenue of above 60k.

It's either that, or they lift the lock down. You dey see 75% of your income at home; you dey grumble. The ones wen never see pim since the lock down start, wetin dem go do?

PLATO1U:
The labour union should sue the government. How much are the polithiefians cutting from their pay.

Government is about the people and not the other way round.

Las Las na one thief go still dey thief the money.

SmartyPants:
What a brilliant move from El Rufai. Had it been that he was not a bigot and fulani supremacist, he would have my vote for president.

Izigha:
If not for our religious and ethnic differences, El-Rufia could have been a good president.

SmartyPants:


Where should the governor get money to feed everyone?

LibertyRep:
It has started. The civil servants will always be the first casualty in government.
What happens to those politicians and their appointees taking large chunk of the resources?

Selfish private establishment who never wanted to pay salary in the first instance will now escalate it.

izzou:
I have learnt a lot of life lessons this period

ddippset:
You guys are playing the ostrich.

You are still not getting the real picture of things in NIgeria.

You are campaigning and advocating for no more than 500,000 people who have been told to earn 50k and above in one month,

Forgetting about another one million people who do not even have access to 2k in one whole month.

You guys think na! Think!!

SmartyPants:


My dear that is your business o.

The state is in lockdown and you are mentioning transport, clothes, school fees, and generator.
Transport to where?
Who is buying clothes at this time? to go where? From bedroom to parlour?
Which school is open?

Can you see that you are not thinking?
So someone that was earning 68k before was using generator comfortably?

adanny01:


Is he going to feed the civil servants? NO. Will they receive parliatives? NO. The are virtually exempted from all support. Kaduna Civil servants get deductions for health insurance. Do they enjoy health insurance not. They get mortgage deductions for the entire 35yrs of service and then given 200k for housing on retirement (both my parents got that).

Did you buy sugar recently, the price is almost double. Rice is 30k. Flour, milk, beverages, yams, tomatoes etc have all almost doubled.

If food has doubled, the salary's have gone down by half them take out another 25%. What is left.

Will the governor feed anyone? How many testing centers are there? What is he going to do with the money that can benefit the civil servants? Nothing?

The US government gave all citizens $1000 as parliatives per month. Here, they taking parliatives from citizens.

SmartyPants:


The thing is baffling me. It is like Nigerians just love to complain.

NaijaRoyalty:
Very wicked and heartless APC leaders.

APC must be wiped out of our political space in 2023 .

Useless thieves .

Macphenson:
By the time this useless APC sadist are through with Nigerians, the idiots the hat voted them in power must get sense.

Rubbish.

LordAdam:


Are you a JJC?

They don't care about those 1m people. They just don't want to say it openly. Tomorrow they'd complain that politicians don't have the interest of "the masses" at heart. Oya join the politicians to care now, they're raising their arms in protest.

What is the difference between them and the politicians they like to rail on?
