Ogondah: |
Zenith Bank paid July salaries 2day, plus one month arrears, plus 11k, totalling 141K. |
joyblinks:My dear, nobody will faint. People are suffering untold hardships and are deeply in debt. So, even if Wike decides to pay up all the astounding arrears, it will go a long way, but it still won't solve all the money problems people have. And by the way, salaries are workers' rights, not some jackpot or lottery. Therefore, no boss should be praised to the high heavens for simply paying workers for work done. |
Time to move on to other topics. Enough backlash for Justinah4real! Between her and her gaffe, I'm wondering who's got more hot strokes of koboko. Let's hope that the meeting between PMB and state governors will yield something positive that will in turn put smiles on the many faces of despair in all the eighteen states owing their workers backlogs of salaries. Good night everyone! |
mathmatica:Chai....! See casting.....! |
Fiafiad:Please do not take offence when folks demand to know the "source" of the info you disseminate on this thread. You have done well enough by trying to get folks to keep up the hope, which is indeed a scarcer commodity than petrol. In the face of biting hardship and increasing debt profiles, such clamoring for your "source" of information is not totally out of place, because people don't want to keep on borrowing and owing their creditors if they're not certain about when salaries will start dropping. As a matter of fact, many have finished spending their unpaid salary and have nothing to hold on to by the time the almighty salary alerts begin to buzz in. I hope you do understand the predicament we find ourselves in. |
Each time politicians engage in a fight-to-the-last drop of blood, it is the hapless, "ordinary" citizens that suffer. Unfortunately, some of our gullible people take sides with these people who know how to settle their differences behind the scenes. And the plight of the people takes the backseat in the scheme of things. However, I foresee the current tussle between the APC and PDP as a good omen, especially for civil servants in the state. What if out of sheer desperation, Mr Wike keeps his promise to pay off all outstanding entitlements owed government workers in the state, in order to pave the way for more support from workers in case his electoral victory is annulled and a rerun is ordered? To whose advantage will that be? Countless individuals and families and other dependents, of course! So, then, my fellow noble colleagues, let us channel our prayers and aspirations in that light, without the risk of being too partisan to our disadvantage. We shall all overcome in the end! Happy weekend to everyone as we hopefully await our salaries for April and May, beginning from tomorrow. |
mamadumi:Thanks dear, I'm doing pretty good. I hope you're doing pretty much as well? God bless you real good! |
Good morning, this Honourable House! It's been a long time. I hope you all are enjoying the short holiday? I left for a while, thinking that these in-house fightings will abate but unfortunately things haven't changed a bit. It only attests to the fact that time doesn't really change people; it's actually people that change with time! If the quarrels were triggered off by intellectual differences and ideological persuasions, it would have been so interesting as that will enable us learn more and build our individual capacities through a cross-fertilization of ideas. But that still remains a very far cry. There's certainly no need to curse each other out because there has never been a time when quarrelling brought about the payment of our meagre salaries on time. The authorities pay us whenever they deem fit. We can either choose to turn this social medium into a fortress of unity and ideas of our collective interest for our own individual and collective benefits, or we can keep using it as a weapon to unleash our private frustrations on the next person at the slightest provocation. God bless Nigeria! God bless you all! |
dmercy141983:(1) It's a contributory scheme which involves both the workers (us) contributing 8% of our salaries and the government contributing 10%. (2) If the government had already started deducting the 8% from our salaries from the time we started receiving our pay, then, all the money will be transferred into the respective pensions accounts. But the only way to ascertain whether 8% had been deducted from our salaries since we started receiving our pay is to go to the Board to ask for our pay slips, which is supposed to reflect such deductions, IF they were actually made. The only snag is that what we receive now as our monthly pay aren't exactly our real salaries. My fear is that there is the likelihood we might get further short-changed by the government through this pension scheme. |
Cruize306:OK. I get it. Thanks. |
Cruize306:Well, you may be right. However, it's better for one not to say anything than for one to give some April-Fool's-Day and radio-without-batteries (mis)information, which is absolutely misleading! |
Justinah4real:This sounds rather interesting. But would you kindly tell us whether you're under SSSB or UBE, as well as the LGA? Not that miracles don't happen but your information has got to be legit, you know? |
profkalu:First term 2014/2015 ends on 19th December, 2014. |
To the writer of this piece, I say a big God bless you for saying the whole truth and nothing but the truth! To the folks here who think that the post is 'too lengthy', you are the reasons for which heretics keep peddling lies and half truths in the church today. Heretical Christianity thrives because they understand that folks like you will never take the pains to read and study the Bible for yourselves. That's the real reason that whenever they preach their hocus pocus, they count on your lazy selves to swallow their lies line, hook and sinker! And what you do is to cheer them on: 'preach it, Pastor!' |
Long years of military rule gave rise to social injustices, inequality, oppression, suppression of opinion and economic deprivation, which culminated in a country teeming with citizens with an atrociously wired psychology. That is the reason we will always have folks who will oppose those who dare to demand better governance from our (mis)leaders. To try to make fellow citizens realize that we deserve better governance is to incur insults from them. The notion that half bread is better than none is what makes most of us compare Rivers State to Akwa-Ibom State in terms of workers' salaries and welfare. And the argument that because Governor Amaechi's government, in comparison to other state governments, has employed more people and therefore must not be told some home truths about grossly misplaced priorities in terms of workers' welfare, is the most silly way of reasoning. Rivers State is not the only state in the federation with dwindling revenues. The sad reality is that all over the country there is a gross and deliberate mismanagement of public funds by our thieving. leaders, because they are all gearing up for 2015 general elections. There is absolutely nothing wrong with demanding that our leaders live up to their responsibilities. But it is silly to call people who make such demands political opposition, and even much sillier to ask that they resign their jobs! |
2kurupt:School me? Hehehehehe... You must have a PhD in SELF-DELUSION! And by the way, you need your schizophrenic brain completely deprogrammed! |
2kurupt:Who cares if you got here in the time of Methuselah? And whoever does want to impress sedated minds like yours? |
2kurupt:You might as well scram off the ''faceless forum,'' if you can't stand the heat! |
2kurupt:Why exactly do the ''sermons'' bother you? |
No one else is funnier than people who think that because a farmer hires labourers to work on the farm, and merely sends them away empty handed at the end of the day in the hope that they continue working on the farm again and again, is doing an unusual thing because he is the ONLY one among other farmers who did the labourers ''the favour'' of hiring them, instead of his family members and their cronies. Perhaps the farmer and those who defend him should have known that anything worth doing is worth doing well, and that it is an even much greater SIN to delay and deny labourers the wages and other entitlements that are due them, according to the Bible. 'The world is a dangerous place not because of people who do evil, but because of people who look on and do nothing.' (Albert Einstein) |
Any political leader who doesn't hesitate to arbitrarily slash workers' salaries, delay their salaries, promotion, entitlements, arrears, but will speedily release funds for political purposes CAN NEVER be the best leader there has ever been! Sycophancy, hypocrisy and a culture of lack of expectations are worse maladies than corruption. As a matter of fact, they drive and lubricate the grinding wheels of corruption. And it takes a very docile and hypocritical citizenry for absurdities to keep thriving in a country like ours. With the kind of mindset and comments emanating from certain folks here, it's very certain that they're the ones awaiting their own turn to be given a chance to take a large chunk of their own share of the proverbial 'national cake'! They'll possibly do worse than the present rapists of our national heritage, if they ever get the chance. What a shame! |
Onlyhandsome:God bless you for thinking outside the box. It's really absurd to think that a child should sing the praises of their parents for simply performing their parental responsibilities. Is it any wonder then why impunity reigns supreme in our land, and why the 1% of us takes the rest of us for granted? |
Okevino:What really pains me about the man is his penchant for being insincere and making hypocritical statements about corrupt leaders. Leaves me wondering whether he himself is any different from the bunch. There's nowhere around the world you won't find corrupt politicians, but the Nigerian politicians seem to be the most dangerous ones, because they are anti-human and are also a coterie of self-involved, overprivileged gang who think they know how best to control other people's destinies. God surely knows how and when to bring them to their knees. |
If only the State Government had hastened up the payments of the arrears, some of these frustration-laden tantrums would've long disappeared, and we'll all be having a long period of ceasefire between the warring factions. |
My dear fellow colleagues, once again we're back to the familiar murky trenches of hurling mud at one another, instead of forging a common front to channel our God-given talents and energy into embarking on positive agitations towards the powers that be, in order for them to take real action and speed up every necessary process involving the payment of our arrears. In case we've forgotten so soon, yesterday 2nd of October marked our one year anniversary on the job and we are still being owed arrears, some three months, some four months, some seven months and some even more due to one hitch or the other arising from their biometric registration. Yet, while time is fast ticking away for the present government, we are preoccupied with casting aspersions on one another, as though some of us are more civil servants than the rest of us. When we go all out for each other's jugulars, tell me, to whose advantage is it? Is it ours or to those whose responsibility is to ensure that money being owed us is promptly disbursed into our respective bank accounts? Our brothers, sisters and friends in government may never do what is necessary until you unequivocally assert your rights and privileges on their collective conscience. Unfortunately, that is part of the Nigerian tragedy. And we cannot afford to keep playing into the hands of those whose sole agenda is to keep pilfering and syphoning funds already earmarked for us. Are we going to fold up our sleeves and vociferously channel our grievances to the appropriate quarters? Or are we going to keep on with the unprofessional and pedestrian act of mudslinging toward one another? It's our collective call to make! A stitch in time saves nine! Be smart! |
I guess ''irreconcilable differences'' is another euphemism for ''I'm a loser!'' |
[quote author=Adola1][/quote]That's really clarifying. If it was exactly what the Governor said, then there's certainly no cause for alarm. Thanks for your contribution. |
NeilOssai: Blatant lie..the Gov. Reaffimred the fact that he is yet to pay...Wat he said was that the MIN. Of EDU. Is working on it.Well, then, let's fervently hope that the Governor will excellently finish the good work he started regarding the 13000 plus recruitment of teachers in the state. Thanks for your comment. |
I heard from a friend today that Governor Amaechi was live on FM 92.3 Info this afternoon, and that he blatantly declared that all the newly employed 13k teachers have been duly paid their arrears. This friend went further to say that some anonymous caller claiming to be one of the 13000, flagrantly gave a mischievous confirmation of the Governor's spurious claims. If what my friend told me is anything to go by, then that's very unfortunate! That's fraud and sycophancy at its worst! Is there anyone in the house who was fortunate to have tuned in during the programme? Please someone should confirm. |
