We need to be sincere to our selve. I dont think the goverment has anything to gain in this. With the whole economic locked down. Do you know how much goverment is loosing daily compare to the donation they received. Its high time we agreed with goverment on this.

U dey mind them. The money donated isnt up to what we are losing at the moment. Stealing of money has been happening since the time of Lord Luggard without the need for lockdown.

No be their fault anyway. Our politicians made them that way.

GOB25:

bonnyhope:
He has helped in his constituency and he is still helping even though is no longer a senator

The problem is that you guys never look at the past

Post a link of how he has helped his people during this pandemic period and i will delete my post.

The problem with u is that u dont understand the gimmicks of our politicians. Don't let anyone fool u. None will fight for the masses without personal gains. They are all in one accord when money and bonus is being shared. But will shout to the masses when they have issues or misuderstanding and try to appeal to the masses mercy. I would rather DIE than trust naija politicians.

bonnyhope:
Attack the message not messenger

You are part of the reasons TRUTH is concealed in this country

Dino's truth is laced with hypocrisy. He was a former law maker, he made a lot of fortune, he has one of the ten most expensive house in Nigeria. So what has he contributed to his immediate environment during this period?
Our govt failed and we are all aware but he isn't better off and now isnt the time to score cheap marks. If he can't help anyone let him remain silent

Romanoff:
Just one of his car is enough to feed people from Kabba to Isanlu.

What has he done to alleviate their suffering in a time like this?

U took this from my mouth. Soon he will politicise things without doing anything to help the people he represented when he was a Senator

Avalancheman:
That's okay...

The children should be protected.

But we adults should be allowed to return to our places of work.

This lockdown is equivalent to house arrest...

My business has been drastically affected also. But allowing student to stay at home and adult going out wont curb the spread atall. The adult can still infect the children at home. What we need is good pallatives from the govt pending when lockdown will be over.

PureGoldh:
Bros, everybody is in indoor...if anyone receives any cash from the government..trust me,within 24hrs...the news will be everywhere.

I know what am saying... ain't trying to be sentimental but when it comes to things like dx...I speak my mind... nothing but the Truth.

If anyone have received anything from the government...trust me,even Whatsapp status (es) would have been blazed up with the news

U still dont get it. It is only the Governor of ur state or other public figure that can refute this claim since they have contacts of L.G Chairman, councilors, l.c.d.a and others at the grass root level.
U cant just rely on whatsapp status or facebook for news as there are millions of people in ENUGU who dont have access to internet. Still our government no try for us atall. But we also need to change the way we view things if we dont wanna produce someone like BUHARI in future

PureGoldh:
Oga presido is paying them back for their votes.

It's just like saying"Northerners come forward,the rest........"

Am currently in Enugu and I can boldly say that **No household in Enugu state is in any way benefiting anything from the government during this period** where exactly do dx people get their figures from ?

The benefactor should come out with better proofs...make we see him or her

Our leaders reflect who we are as a people.
Imagine what u just wrote. U are in ENUGU and u can boldly say no household in the whole state has been paid. This was how LIA MUHAMMED started his lying techniques too. Enugu isnt a street for u to knw what is happening in every LGA. Always talk for urself as u cant defend what u just wrote. We have never been blessed with good leaders .Thanks

Mission Impossible. No 3k soup will last for 2 days self. Just buy palm oil 3k. It will last u till next month if rationed properly

Josephamstrong1:
You're the one being wicked here!
Was school fees not paid in full?
Pay full March salary, my friend! If you're not paying 12calender months, then...No April, cos that's what your average half baked staff signed.

U mentioned me. Hence the reason for quoting u. I paid my staffs fully for MARCH despite the fact that work ended on 20th. I also have target for the end of MARCH for some parents to balance up (350k) but nothing is forthcoming till date. If parents dont resume back to work how do i recoup my money to pay them for APRIL? What i have on me at the moment cant even pay 3 staffs out of 9 staffs working for me. On a good day some reliable parents pay during holiday but thats not even possible at the moment. If the lockdown continue till MAY,do u still expect me to keep paying? With which money? My plan is to call them for meeting nd we find a way out together.5 of them have been with me for 3yrs. It means i'm not heartless. We all need help atm

Igbaguru:
All commercial banks have been paying salary. I know someone working with Polaris bank and he confirmed it that his Salary for the month of April has been paid. Polaris bank pays salary every 12th of every month.

Not all coy have the financial backup of banks. And banks still make money thru mobile transfer, pos services ,atm services and others. Though they are still affected. But think of a man selling electronics at oshodi or someone who is a food vendor with workers. For some employers, sales for 1 week goes to salary expenses, week 2 goes to stock of item sold, week 3 goes for other running cost, while week 4 could be the profit for the month. Now imagine a business like this. How will the employer cope with 6weeks of lockdown?
Most business owners already have HBP as we speak cos the future isn't bright. These are trying times for everybody. We will all come out stronger.
GOD HELP US ALL

ONNYX:
I don't understand why we are so enamoured by the deadbeat concept; 'graduate'. If you are running any business in Nigeria and have had need to interview for vacant roles you will come to real terms with the emptiness of that word as given expression by the majority of contemporary school leavers. It is a very sad situation but it is not discussed because of the sensitivity of the subject matter.

The school system is just producing husks for us at least in the majority of cases.

Somebody will be telling you that salaries should not be paid from immediate income which in real terms is not practicable for a small business that is perhaps new underfunded, underpatronized and run by inexperienced though passionate minds.

An interaction with those Alhajas selling lace and Guinea brocade in Tinubu square will unveil the mockery of an educational system and its products.

Experience will yet come to our aid in everything.

LOLZ

ONNYX:
I hope this is only applies to only large establishments as many of the smaller ones cannot run this efficiently at least in this economy.

Finally, there is a clear cut distinction between theory and reality.

It doesn't look like you have any experience running a shoe string or hamstrung budget micro business.

People that cant run a small grocery shop successfully will be bringing theories from books written by a white man without considering the environment such business operates. Now i see why the rate of unemployment is high in this country. An average graduate just wanna be employed and collect paycheck at the end of the month. Such mentality will further increase the rate of unemployment after this pandemic

stagger:
If a company like Tesla can cut salaries by as much as 30% and airlines can put their staff on unpaid leave, you should know the answer to this question.

So many workers in NIGERIA only care about their salary. They dont care if the company fold up or go bankrupt. They believe its not their business. Staffs will always calculate ur income but wont deduct ur cost of running the business. This is the period where enterprenuers sitdown and analyse how to make the business survive after the lockdown.
Various comments here sound funny. A lady advice others to resign after this month if a coy didnt pay. Will she employ them ? If JUVE and BARCA players could take paycut or salary postponement, if coy in countries like USA, UK, SPAIN can terminate workers appointment cos of salary. I wonder how they expect a small business owner to get cash to pay when business is lockdown

Josephamstrong1:
But school fees from students would be paid in full.
School is kinda different to me. Except some wicked directors that would use the covid saga as an alibi for their mischief.

U also forgot some parents haven't fully paid before schools were lockdown last month. Fact is u cant judge a situation u aren't in. Or are u telling me all students in private school paid fully before lockdown? Financial capability of every business will be tested at this time. We have big school with big financial backup, many years in the business, high bankroll etc. We cant compare them to a school that started just few yrs ago and still struggling to survive its teething years before this pandemic distrupt everything. Different strokes for different folks. I just believe employers and employees need to sit and have a solid discussion and understanding. Let every employer be sincere with what he can do and employees reason and understand.

4four:
My own company de pay full payment to their staff but half payment to contract workers

This just the first step. If lockdown continue after April what do you think will happen in May? Either they stop paying contract workers or paycut for full staffs as well. I guess ur employers have a very solid financial backup to be able to do that. Setting up a one man business in Nigeria is one of the hardest thing to achieve.

Squillaci:
So how come football clubs are still paying their staff, and players?

Did u read about JUVENTUS (salary suspended for 3months and be paid installmentally ?) and BARCA ( 70% paycut for all playing staffs both football and basketball players just to be able to pay the non playing staffs?). These are clubs wt high revenues. This time calls for sacrifice as egungun don enter express already. When there is no input, output will be drastically affected. No one saw this coming. Both employers and employees are in this together and now is the time to support ur employer who have never let u down with salary issues in the past. Times are hard for private business owners out there. They may look big in your eyes but are actually sweating

SaintLucia:
Public sectors and banks yes, others I can't say.

If lockdown dont stop this month, even banks will start thinking of paycut or layoff of contract staff. Only government workers are safe as payment may be owed but will eventually be paid as arrears come what may.

MrHighSea:
Dude, why rain so much foul words on him?
Doesn't make you a better person. Easy bro.

If d company is bankrupt, what do you think will happen to worker's families? They will live.

But why is ur mind so much on money u didn't work for? We r talking of company, not government. They r affected too by government's decisions. Even 9ja stinks of recession.

If u own an average company (maybe medium scale), which of those ur interventions will u implement?

Ain't an easy pill to swallow.

Some people actually tot starting and running a private business is easy. All businesses hv been affected. But we shuld know some companies are bigger than others.U cant give what u dont av. Most companies are counting losses at the moment. If big futball clubs like Juve and Barca can suspend payment of players pay or introduce paycut, i dont know what is always wrong with Nigerians. Every orgnsatn isnt havin it easy.Now is d time to knw a selfish/considerate worker

xana101:
This is why I hate girls. 90 percent are infected even the small once u think they are free are all infected. Most girls has infection. I own a pharmacy so I know. U still pay a girl to give u infection so what’s ur gain.

Good day to u. Any pain reliever u can recommend for kidney stone?

blazesam:
that tuberculosis coupled with hypertitis and diabetes and the white tongue is kidney infection

For one person? Haba!

NigeriaB:
You will still need to run another RVS. Use a different lab and ensure a DETERMINE STRIP is used.

Also they should run FBC. Let's know your pcv, and incase of any other microbial infection. More so, E/U/Cr should be done. When you are done with these, let me know.

You will be fine!

Good day to u. Do u know any pain reliever that could be used for kidney stone pain. Lockdown scattered things

As a business owner, last month salary was even hard kind of. But payment of APRIL will be harder. Only big businesses can cope for this month, if lockdown dont end this month even big companies will think about paycut. Its simple. U cant give what u dont have

God catch pastor

Interesting.

Marry her. U are good together

Romanoff:
It is not a big deal. It doesn't make you less married than you are.

Many bear their husbands names and are not faithful to that husband.

It doesn't guarantee a happy marriage and to be honest, it is the least of your worries in marriage.

It depends on the man tho, if he insists on it and feels it's his right, good, no big deal there. Some men don't care what name you bear as long as you're faithful, you love them and give them peace. It doesn't make the men weak.

What shall it profit the alpha male who insists his wife bears his name only to find out all his kids are not his?

Madam, even if a man bears a woman surname it doest mean she will be faithful or there will be happiness in the union. Marriage isnt a must. U cant eat ur cake and have it. Kindly answer this question sincerely : Are u using ur dad's surname or u mum's surname? Your answer will determine if we can have a conversation

rtdCivilservant:
So why not the man taking the woman's name? I mean the man dropping his name for marriage sake?

We are NIGERIANS for God sake. If a woman isn't ready to accept a man's name let her remain single. Marriage isnt a must. We have millions of women ready to take a man's name at any given chance. And do u expect the children to also take my wife's surname? It can never work
