How is that possible? A court has said that the elongation law is hereby squashed. What is difficult to understand. If the lawmakers come back, that law IS NOT COMING BACK WITH THEM.

As for the legality of the CTC, you can as well challenge that in court.

It would be a waste of court process to do such as it stands now. The FG will not be sending forth LG funds to States having CTC in place. They all will have to conduct proper elections.

oyichi:
a court has ruled that tenure extension as illegal, those local government chairmen are gone for good

The same court that ruled that failed to realize that CTC is also illegal and alien to the Nigerian Constitution.
If the Hon. Amaehwule and 26 others are reinstated, then those former LGAC chairman will be reinstated pending when the governor truly intends to do the election and if the Court in Abuja goes in favour of the Attorney General/FG for LG autonomy and preventing States Electoral body not conducting elections then INEC will be funded to do such days by the FG.

This will be the SACRIFICE that Tinubu have to make. You want national assembly to approve billions of naira to buy new presidential planes?

This is not any SACRIFICE. This was done with the soul intention of ensuring that the NA makes a speedy approval that they buy a new presidential jet for the President.
Otherwise, if its a SACRIFICE, my President would have entered AIR PEACE.

There’s this girl I have been dating for a couple of months now, we are planning on settling down soon. She was diagnosed with PCOS couple of years ago before I met her, had a surgery and one of her ovaries were removed. Though she still ovulates and sees her period, I am kind of worried if there will be any issues in the future.
My parents doesn’t know about her surgery yet. Should I tell them about it?

If you have a relationship with God then go to Him in heartful prayers concerning it. Let she also do same. Also together go to a specialist doctor for professional specialist advice.
But know that with God there's no impossibility as long as you believe.

It's quite good they have seen the Nokia torchlight phone and it is in the hand of the woman's son.
Just as she insisted that they should provide the phone for her and she does not need a replacement, please the woman alongside the vigilante that meet the innocent boy to death produce him just the way he was before they started beating him.

All of them should be charged to court for commiting murder and let them be given the maximum sentence.

Bonaventura:
Historically, prisoners on death row are fed fat espacially few days or weeks to their execution.

It is always more pleasant to shoot or behead a fatty and plump person.

That's why the coldhearted governor is advising that the old chairmen and councillors are 'fed fat' as they head to the gallows.

WIKE thinks he has a monopoly of power and violence.

Most times, it's good to take your time and serve revenge, had he joined in WIKE's frenzy earlier on, it'd have been him loosing.

I'm sure WIKE by now would be preparing himself to use the judiciary as usual, they are always in his pocket, but then, even the judiciary in the corruption would want to be corrupted by a winning man and not the man with a toady voice who sees nothing beyond politics.

Fun fact: Do you know that Rivers governors contributed hugely to the mess that Nigeria is presently?

First, it was Amaechi and his Nigerian Governors Forum Cohort alongside Atiku making sure Jonathan lost the 2015 election and foisting Buhari on us.

2023,it was WIKE first making sure Peter Obi didn't get the PDP ticket, and supervising the worst rigging in the history of Nigeria only rivaled by the Liberian Presidential Elections of 1927.

The outcome : Tinubu

PGEJ lost because he refused to settle the differences he and his wife had against GCRA. Even the then PDD National Chairman who was a Northener advised PGEJ to settle the issue with GCRA, well he was advised otherwise and we saw all that happened afterwards. So leave GCRA out of it.

Whatever that happened in the PDP that made PO going to another party is all political as usual. It's the same politics that still made PO who now was the LP aspirant went to solicit the aid of GNEW to be able to win the election.
So all men are playing politics within the confines of their wisdom.

That will be like declaration of war in Niger Delta in addition to Southeast, Northeast and
bandits in Northwest and North Central . The best thing is to allow the will of Fubara and indeed 99% of Niger Delta people to prevail

Al these are just staged managed. When the military comes in then you'll understand what it is.
A lot of persons want to go into will hiding if they don't caution themselves and enjoy the monies the get through fraudulent business.

Abagworo:
Yesterday 2 security operatives died for the sake of this crisis and clearly thousands of non-State actors are armed in the Niger Delta. Do you think it will be easy to tame them when we already have security challenges across the country? No wise leader or judiciary will deliberately cause avoidable war.

If for any reason the 27 lawmakers case at the Appeal Court goes in their favour, then you'll know that those who think are causing security issues in the State will be quenched by a very strong hand. There's no dwelling that's hidden.

phantomxx:
e be like una no understand wetin dey go on.. the Appeal court ruling is in respect of wether the 27 defected RSHA members should keep their seats. The amended local government tenure extension law HAS ALREADY BEEN STRUCK OUT BY A HIGH COURT FOR BEING UNCONSTITUTIONAL. That ruling has not been appealed or vacated so as it is TODAY there is NO tenure elongation law in Rivers state. The LG chairmen are gone EVEN IF THE COURTS REINSTATE THE 27 ASSEMBLY MEMBERS.

These local govt chairmen are hoping that if the 27 lawmakers win at Appeal then all laws they have made stand WHICH IS TRUE but not for the elongation tenure law which has already been struck out by a court. As a state assembly, you can't make such a tenure elongation law that goes against the FEDERAL CONSTITUTION otherwise Tinubu can wake up tomorrow and extend his tenure by 6 months or 1 year through the national assembly.

You gerrit now 🤔

Also be reminded that the CTC which is been put in place is also unconstitutional. So if the 27 lawmakers win at the Appeal, what do you think would happen?
Allowing a CTC remain in office or bring back tise who were elected to stand in till an election is been conducted?
Even the judge that struck out that case of tenure elongation would still have a case brought to his court at the appropriate time. Little by little everything will unfold.

I guess when she means refrigerator, she means the section of the fridge that does not get food frozen. Just like the section of the fridge you put egg, fruits, etc, etc..... otherwise if she's meaning the entirety of the refrigerator, I think she's mistaken on so many things. Because people have been doing such even before they came to know what is called a microwave today.

Is PBAT telling Nigerians to g and tackle banditry, farmers and herdsmen clashes

Omo, so what's the work of the PBAT and those who are collecting security vote and the security agencies?

ceejayluv:
I I know. I meant that if they used the 18k value of $120 in 2014, among other factors, then the minimum wage now should be circa ₦180k.

That is what it ought to be.
The civil servant or NLC are not the persons who are vested with putting up economic policies to drive the economy. So as long as our economy is based on the value of dollar to naira, then wages should be same.
It's pure evil for the current FG to pay a wage whose exchange rate presently in dollar is lesser than what it is in 2015. It is pure evil and evil will not prevail. There's no way concession can be given for such evil to prevail.

Abee79:
Nigeria needs to do better to save our collective fortune. We cannot continue to be a consuming nation, producing/exporting nothing and expect our economy to grow. We have the potential to even peg minimum wage at N500,000 but who will do the work? What will we produce? What will we export to earn FX?

There are those who would do the work, come rain, come sun but the government at all levels have refused to bring in such people. So what you have are people in government parastals who have no business to be there been there and that's why you'll see even people who are directors even failing promotion exams straight 3 times, you'll find people who are supposed to be career civil servants who claimed to have worked for 15 years, failing in exams whose questions are based on their purported departments and careers. A lot of civil servants who are in the civil service don't even know what their job functions are and don't even know their duties. There are places you'll go you'll see an admin staff doing the work of a secretary even when the secretary is in office. I have seen several secretaries and admin staffs who can't take minutes, write memos, even type with a computer even if you give them 7 days to carry out a task which ordinarily should not be more than 24 hours.

I'm not even talking about whether someone is qualified or not having requisite certificate or not. But if someone who is employed and having worked 12 months and is showing no signs of reasonable improvement or being productive significantly in the place he is as it concerns the related job then there's no need keeping such person there.

The police will maintain peace, law and order till the court gives a judgement and the right interpretation is given and adhered to.

Imagine people saying the constitution of the FRN stands tall above all and it's still in this same country that in some areas the Sharia law is higher than the Nigerian constitution.
I guess we have Sharia law operating in Northern Sharia territory while the Southern areas have the Nigerian constitution operating.
Tahhh..... hypocrisy in it's fullness.

Cmanforall:
If your tenure expires, why amend the law to extend it. This is what pro-Fubara group is against. And with the situation of things now, it won't be wise to conduct a local Government election in Rivers.

Imagine if Obasanjo succeeded to amend the Nigerian constitution and continued the third tenure

The pro-fubara group are only fighting that the governor be allowed to appoint CTC chairmen just the way his predecessors have done....
Which is against the constitution of the country.

The 27 member SHA members before all this drama escalated had earlier informed the governor Fubara some good couple of months to conduct a LG election but the governor is adamant like all his predecessors to follow on his path of CTC.

It would be chaos for the governor if the cases at court, both of the 27 SHA members and the autonomy of the LGAC goes against him. It would be chaos for him.

PBAT is not one given to such insolence and careless stupidity and foolishness exhibited by all.

DIVINEEVIDENCE:
I am saying, if we influence parameters of inflation such that the Naira is strengthened and the economy take a massive boost, it will automatically uplift those below the poverty line.

If we can deal with inflation and increase our forex earnings, why would our standard of living not increase?

Increasing minimum wage without a corresponding increase in productivity will further impoverish us and weaken our currency.

The ensuing high exchange rate will make it difficult for manufacturers to import raw materials, leading to layoffs, reduction in value and quality of products as well as increase in price of finished products which will take up the new wage increase for the market to attain equilibrium.

In the end, bread of ₦1500 will be sold for ₦2300 and we'll return to square one.

Meanwhile, we've weakened our currency by injecting it into the system without a corresponding increase in productivity.

Like taking alcohol to drown your sorrows.
Eventually you wake up from your hangover and reality stares you in the face again.

You can choose between keeping yourself perpetually inebriated or squaring your shoulders to tackle the problem once and for all.

It's not NLC that caused the already existing inflation. It's not the duty of NLC to bring up economic policy. Those who is their resoinsiito ensure their policies don't undermine the economy and naira did not put into consideration the ripple effects it would cause when they chose what is causing NLC to demand for a wage that fits the current economic realities.
So let the FG give that current wage that will meet the economic realities and also fix the problems they caused by their trial and error policies.
Lets stop saying an increase in wages will cause inflation. This so called inflation is just an artificial thing.
A sensible, President, Administrator, economist will not solve a problem by creating another problem and blaming it on another.

GindoX:
Hmmm, most of those governors na figure heads, no be them dey make decisions....

Not someone like Wike.

Righthussle:
I used to like this man until I was told how he refused to pay the minimum wage of 30k to Rivers workers for 8 years and also refused to promote workers for 8 good years. His wickedness towards Rivers workers was out of this world.

He did not pay but at least the infrastructure he did are well on ground for all to see and rate. Many will say they are localized to only a particular place , but all the same they are all on ground. It will be on record that what Wike achieved in projects especially in time frame in Rivers State even the FG has not achieved same doing same number of projects.
I don't know how many governors since 1999 till date have actually achieved what he has done given their FAAC.

jamafa:
Make dem go Egypt, Algeria or Mozambique.

Add Egypt, Algeria and Mozambique population together, them no reach Nigeria population.

Never compare any African country with Nigeria.

What has population got to do with minimum wage?
So it's the USA, UK and the whole of ASIA should be added together and compared to Nigeria.

Hogwash, Hogwash, Hogwash.
Nobody took to the streets, when they removed subsidy since they said it's best for the country and has saved the country some trillions of invincible dollars.
No reasonable person would be taking about MSMEs and using them as excuses.
If they want NLC to seek for good governance then it most likely the immunity clause will have to be removed completely for all serving elected position.

dollar124:
I don't really understand why everybody is shouting 62k this and that. The 62k is for level 1 step 1, which in reality nobody is in that level because even olevel employees starts from level 4, and graduate employees starts from level 8.
We should also remember that this minimum wage only affects less than 10% of Nigerian workers. Hence it will be unfair to the rest of Nigerians who will not benefit from the minimum wage if most of state resources are used just to pay salaries to only government workers.

Who will pay those in private sector? What about the jobless?

I don't understand the reasoning of all of us who speak in this manner....
We can't continue to say what or how will the private sector say for they can't afford it!!!
The private sector is in different segments and they all know the methods they arrive at to pay their employees.
We can't continue to bring up lame excuses and ideas as to why private sector can't pay !!!!
I would be more happy if the government can put a template on that money they want to shove up the throats of the NLC and let's see it on a spreadsheet.
Those who claim that civil servants don't work or not productive, can they say same for those who are proposing a poverty wage?

Those who want others to sacrifice and be patriotic have not done what they seek others to do since they started this administration. They have only proven as usual to show their contempt and resentment towards the common man.

It would be with all pleasure that none of these sets of people from top to bottom be voted for in the next election. If by chance the economy even improves by 0.000000001% they do not need to be allowed to return to the positions they so occupy now. Let the votes count in all geographical zones.

I am very sure representatives of this administration just come out and say what's written on paper or what they have memorized without actually knowing what they are saying.
