Those of you who do not know what civil servant get as salary should stop all these ignorant analysis that what can they do with just 62k basic salary. There are other allowances like transport, feeding, housing, child care, health allowance etc.
Labour unions know this.
My worry is what of masses that are not salary earners, who depends on daily hustle.
Let's us be considerate because things are not easy worldwide

Are you sure that 62k is the basic salary?
Because if it is then when you add all the allowances it would come up to above N100K.....
All of us can't be in the civil service.
So whatever the kind of daily hustle we are involved in we will pray we get clients that will be able to pay what is reasonable for the service been rendered and be mindful of our expenditure.
There are certain things we should buy in bulk once there's a lump sum so it lasts long pending when another lump sum comes handy. In all we thank God for every provision.

anonymuz:
if efo state is able to pay 70k that shows other state can follow. Its just deliberate wickedness.

Yes, a very, very deliberate, wickedness.
A spiritual host of wickedness not just in heavenly places but also in earthly places.

They have dribbled labour to a corner they can't return to strike action because once they pass the bill, it's over for labour. Tinubu is bad for Nigeria

That is not how it works. The FG through PBAT and the legislooters are playing high handed. The FG can choose to pass it and nothing can stop the NLC to embark another strike. Negotiations are not one sided but both parties should have a near common ground. If this is the way PBAT goes about governance and administration then he is not fit in running an economy.
It's means the APC led FG in just 9 years has devalued the Naira, brought inhuman economic policies that have caused the price of goods and services to have shot up the sky.
So basically economy wise the value of N18,000 prio 2015 elections in dollar is about $120 and someone could buy a good sized yam somewhere in the middle belt for N200 but now N18000 is about $12 and would have been about less than $10 if not what the CBN governor did with the BDC people. So basically the APC administration of just 9 years has destroyed what the PDP achieved in it's 16 years in power. Do you know what amount of backwardness that has brought on the economy ? Do you know if they continue in this way that so many ills will increase in the land?

helinues:
What has he done about the states paying N18k as minimum wage?

The LU in those States should be the one to call the attention of the NLC and sometimes the employees in those States are comfortable about it or they have been thoroughly compromised. So you don't expect the National to do otherwise.
You remember when the NLC chairman was beaten in one of the Eastern States for trying to go enforce a strike action?

Badguy77:
In all my life I never hear say State pay pass federal before.. But it's happening now, if Edo state is already paying 70k why will the federal still be glamouring for 62k are these people normal at all?

States can actually pay more than the FG. The reason why States don't want to do that is because they will say there are receiving FAAC from the FG and give all manner of excuses which can only be eaten by gullible thinkers.
The raising of the salary wage to #70K in Edo State by Obaseki is only political and because of the forth coming election.
It's just the same thing Dickson did in Bayelsa State towards the end of his tenure when he felt the opposition will win the election. Politicians don't do anything good without them taking undue pride in applauding themselves in it.

TheAdvocate:
Food is NOT cheap in the North. What you are eating is sweet potato and it's not a delicacy as such. That's N50 potato a year back.

It depends where you have been resident most part of your life .

Those of us who come from the South will always say food in the North is always cheap and it's a fact to those of us who have travel and lived in some parts of the North.

Halo22:
I have been trying to contain my disgust over the life threatening lifestyle of my landlord and his house hold, but then, it has reached the brim. I would like to make the story short cos I humbly want to seek advice on the best way to tackle this issue at hand.

I live in an environment where we are not that populated in the compound. Every person or household minds his or her business in order to maintain peace and tranquility as well as oneness as was literally advised by the landlord in his preaching of novel peace which has completely been foiled by himself in particular. He has a wife with female children who are all adults. What still baffles me is how the daughters will end up being wives in future. That would be topic for a later day.

Fast forward to early this year, I noticed a leak in the pipe that connects to their own house's toilet and quickly alerted the wife on the need to fix it so it won't deteriorate. When I saw the woman couldn't do much to fix the breakage, I organized some of my neighbours, particularly men, to talk with the husband (landlord). Lo and behold, the man apologized for the inconveniences caused and promised to fix it Asap. Two months down the line in April, we politely met him again to remind him of the dangers of the odour that oozes out of the pit, he again promised to fix it and up until now, the pipe remains unfixed and has completely gone bad, emanating irritating odour all over the compound whenever it rains, mostly my own corner of the building.

At first, I thought about parking out of the compound, but I still have about 6 months' rent running and starting afresh to look for house, the stress, extra payment and all that are not worth engaging in right away. Please what is the best step to take in this situation considering the fact that the wife is a nice and considerate person, just that the husband influences her negatively. I don't want to have issues personally with them. I humbly ask please.

You know yoir landlord better than any of us here.
For keeps, take several snap shots of the broken pipe and it's surrounding and possibly how it looks like after rainfall. This ia just for keeps if you intend to renew your rental for the next couple of years.
Since it's you it affects mostly and if the repairs will cost nothing more than #10,000, probably you should call a plumber or a handyman to fix it. You can as well discuss such with your landlord and it will be deducted from your next rental. You can put it in writing or let it pass if it's something you can do for the same of a good conscience.
But if you want to go by the law, then you'll have to make a report to the ministry of environment and ministry of health.
But still take pictures of it all.

PresidObi:
I stand with Hon. Kennedy Peretei, it's not about how many tenures, it's about electing people with good records that can solve problems, not create more with their controversial past and dirty dealings of the past.

That is why Peter Obi would have used a single term to cleanse Nigeria because he doesn't have any baggage of criminality dragging him down.

Enemies of a prosperous Nigeria shouldn't bother to quote me.

Pandora's box is what.
A man who used States' funds to put into family business. Every politician has a dirty under wear, it's just that some are more dirty than others. PO is not a saint.
The only notable investment he did with State funds is to open a brewery industry whose value at this moment is nothing to talk about.
Do you know how much that investment would have been of worth now if he had even put it in harnessing the mineral resources in the land.

pongwa:
both of them should settle in the old way.

The old ways.....
Ride on your horse with your sword and spear and strike down your adversary.
They can choose a fight to the death or whoever strikes the first blood, or whoever gets the other to fall on both knees or on his back.
The old ways is always better and honourable for those who chose the way of honour.

ATLANTIC01:
Some years ago, a 300L “Born Again” student of UNILORIN withdraw his admission because his WAEC was obtained with exam malpractice. So he withdrew his admission so that he could correct his foundation.

Your opinion?

It is called restitution.
As a born again believer, if you're been led by the Holy Spirit to do such then it's good.
There are those who preach such as a doctrine, but I'll say there's a way one would go about it and it would be an act of making himself to be self righteous. How it became some form of doctrine I can't say.
Such restitution is much only in this pattern but you'll hardly see those who became rich/wealthy returning such to the less privileged or motherless babies home.
God does not accept ill-gotten riches/wealth as any form of sacrifice.

First the health care facilities in the country is hogwash. The FG and SG have refused to pay a living wage and you want these doctors to salvage the country that's been rundown continuously by you the political elites.
If your colleague Ekweremandu had salvage the country he would not be in prison in UK for a medical operation that would have been done in Nigeria.

Now, the governor knows he is the chief security officer of the state because of his carelessness and show of force to dethroning an Emir.......certainly he did not see all these coming.....na for dethronement him want become chief security officer of the state.
When bandits, bokoharam, Fulani herdsmen, kidnapping,etc,etc activities goes haywire in the state, they will start shouting Mr. President is the chief security officer and is the one who controls the security agencies.
So now you want the commissioner of police a federal officer, to seek your consent on how to go about his legitimate business!!!!

We all see why politics shouldn't be done with sanctimonious sentiments and bitterness against anyone because once the table turns, you who thinks have the upper hand would be the one crying.
Kano State Government in this administration is making a mockery of themselves and the traditional institutions.
It's high time, the true hausas of the land rise up to the occasion and set themselves free from their fulani masters.

NeckingNgulping:
You're making a lot of sense bro. If these things can be done, then we will begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Cost of governance will be massively cut and resources will be well utilized.

I can't trust this government one bit. The talks about regionalism could be a sham, kind of like it's being used to distract people from their incompetency.

It is definitely a sham and a diversionary tactic to give the populace something to tit about while the elites do what they know how to do behind the shadows.
Regionalism can't be agreed upon by one man or even the National Assembly.
I just wonder why did PGEJ not execute the confab report after it was submitted to him!!!
Of he had done that we would probably be calling for minor amendments and upgrade.
The SW has some tricks up their sleeves and PBAT has some hidden beneath his cap.
It's a pity the man who needs the government to bow to him is the one bowing to the whimps of the government.

Fareke:
https://punchng.com/minimum-wage-nassembly-may-propose-seizing-defaulting-states-lgs-allocations/?amp

This whole minimum wage, the FG and National Assembly are making it look like they are doing NLC a favour and by the look of it, the President will come out with a blackmail minimum wage amount and NA will pass it and make it look like NLC is the one going against the constitution of the land.
This PBAT administration is very very short sighted in all their approach. They have no idea of how to run an economy to be up and well.

NeckingNgulping:
The only solution is disintegration. I see they are talking about regionalism. That's a good one if they can make it happen.

Truth be told the type of regionalism they are talking about is a deceptive one and only fools, myopic imbeciles will agree to such integration.
Imagine being in such marriage with someone who looks down on you and sees himself as your superior to conquer you. One who doesn't bring anything useful to the table but wants to make critical decisions for others to adhere and abide to.

Let there be 7 States within each zone and let them be granted full autonomy and full 95% resource control. The FCT should also be regarded as a State in its own unique nature.
The LGA should be fully made a solid tier of government with core mandate and responsibilities. More LGA be created and also RCDA/LCDA as cluster/development areas can be created in smaller units to fasten enhancement of critical development infrastructure.
States within same geographic location or even far who share the same economic idealogy and otherwise can come together under some form of partnership arrangements and do their things and share revenue.
Power should be decentralized.
The NPF should be changed to Federal Police Force, the EFCC/ICPC should become one entity.
Nigerian Customs/Immigration/NSCDC should become one entity.
FRSC/Traffic Police/VIO should be one entity.
Mobile Police/JTF/CTU should become one entity.
Theres no need for 2 federal houses. We should just have 1, and let it be HOR.
States shouid have their own structure that is a replica of the Federal.
Ministers should be only the number of total States in the country. No need for minister of States.

NeckingNgulping:
The northerners turned a blind eye when their brother was in charge of one of the worst administrations on earth. They have now suddenly found their voices. I know they would have started a huge protest if not for the fact that they know they'd be seen as hypocrites, because they didn't try it when Buhari was effortlessly destroying the economy.

But then, that's not enough reason to not criticize Tinubu as a southerner. He said "he would take over from where Buhari stopped," it's obvious he's towing that path.

We might witness another failed 8yrs if we keep quiet because Tinubu is our brother.

PBAT saying he would continue where PMB stopped does not literally mean bad economy eventually.
Let's just say it may go both ways, only let him not be indifferent to the plight of the common man.

If this Fulani man could say such then I know there is change coming. This is the one who is supposed to be the President of the Fulani's herdmen not that one that's there.

NeckingNgulping:
The blind supporters of failure, is the post saying the truth?

They are saying the truth obviously.
But has the North also not contributed to this failure of democracy dividends not enjoyed by the populace?

Or they just want to talk because the President is from the South West.
A Northern just completed 8 years and what did they say about it?

BeeBeeOoh:
https://leadership.ng/after-25-years-nigerians-yet-to-enjoy-dividends-of-democracy-northern-groups/

This same Northern group that kept quiet when PMB was still in Aso Villa? The North has no business speaking for Nigeria, let them speak for the North and tell us why despite the placement of Northerners(Muslims predominantly and few sanctimonious Christians) in highly exalted positions be it by election and appointments from 1999 till the end of PMBs administration, the North still remains a region without any form of reasonable development compass be it in human capital development, infrastructure, the Almajiri is still practiced, etc, etc. The North basically remains a place that looks developed but the ideas, minds and thoughts of the people is still in the stone age.

Imagine an irresponsible government and institution lifting ban on sachet alcoholic beverages with the excuse that the economy is strained and it will be enforced when normalcy returns.
Bunch of educated illiterate full of deception.
Thats the reason PBAT says the FG will pay what they can sustain and let everyone cut their coat according to their size of they even have size. I guess the sachet is the size the poverty minimum wage can buy.

adanny01:
You are only repeating what I said, Sanusi"s case has already taken care of his rights. When Ganduje dethroned Sanusi, he outrightly banished him from Kano. This is not the case, Bayero and the 4 others were not banished but they left on their own. The where all instructed to leave the palace (state government property) along with any other state property they held as Emirs. Others knew the tradition and follow it. Bayero knows the tradition but was convinced or coarse by Ganduje and cronies to return to created a well orchestrated plan to destabilise the system. Bayero is complicit since he knows the right thing to be done but followed a political scheme.

Note please, Nasarrawa mini palace is state government property.

Let me tell you, the case of his rights is a facade. His arrest was called by the SG after he settled in state government property without authorisation and pronounced himself Emir after he was dethroned. His rights to doesn't exist if the substantive law says otherwise. That means he broke the law and it's only right for SG to call for his arrest.

Ask yourself this question, why didn't the SG call for arrest of other Emirs?

The SG would not call for the arrest of the other Emirs because they are just pawns in the political scene. The SG wanted Ado out of the picture and they achieved that when he was out of the State. Probably they feel that's the only way to not have serious issues and threat to life if he were in Kano.
Just the same way Buhari was ousted by way of coup when he was outside the country.
Since it's a facade let it stand till the proceedings are concluded in a competent court of jurisdiction.
Everything happening now is for a reason. There's no such thing as coincidence.

greggng:
It is not within there right ...is just a delay tactics effort aimed at perpetrating injustice. Can the federal.high Court interfer in a chieftaincy matter ...the answer is no...so what's the essence of approach such court instead of approach a court that has jurisdiction over such matter . Are you not sensing Inpunity? Anyways let's see what the court says ...

The bolded is what we all await.
Winner takes it all.

greggng:
The foundation of every case is jurisdiction. If you run to a court that doesn't have jurisdiction on a matter ...what are you doing ? You are wasting valuable time ... we should learn to respect the law...The bayero man ran to federal High Court knowing fully well that only the state high court had juudiction on chieftaincy matters ...is nt that lawlessness? ..The state high court has made its ruling...You are not wiser than those that made that law . Allowing this to happen is lawlessness.

We are all aware of the application the dethroned Emir took to the Federal High Court and it's well within the rights of the FHC to entertain such.

IfnobeGod20:
After the court had nullified the self law made by the 27 recalcitrant lawmakers. The law they made wasn't in consonant with the constitution. The constitution of Nigeria recognizes 3 years as tenure of LGA chairman. Any law not in consonant with that is null and void and the lower court had already voided that.
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.vanguardngr.com/2024/05/breaking-court-voids-tenure-extension-for-rivers-lga-chairmen/&ved=2ahUKEwj_2sS-ztuGAxUcUUEAHc99C7AQFnoECBEQBQ&usg=AOvVaw3S8a7zYI0RQDDg5M_OWAPw

Except for your digest:
"A Rivers State High Court sitting in Port Harcourt has voided the tenure extension for local government chairmen in the state. This was as the court declared Local Government Law No. 2 of 2024, which extended the tenure of local government chairmen by 6 months after expiration of their tenure, invalid".

Nigeria is not a banana republic. No state law can handicap the Nigerian law. Please get that into your skull. Even if they appeal it, they will still meet their Waterloo till supreme court because the Nigerian constitution will still be superior to their self made law.

Desist from petty sentiments even when you quote the constitution.
Give these some thought and consideration.

While it may be said that no State law can carpet a Federal law, also be reminded that Caretaker Chairmen is unconstitutional and likewise there is no amount of excuse for it to stand whatsoever the duration and therefore can't override the same Federal law he quoted.

Now, when you say no State law can carpet a Federal law, howbeit that the Islamic law which is both a State and Religious law has always carpeted the Federal law and none has spoken against it!!!

So why the abnormality?

TheElites19s:
Yes, for now still the court sit next week

Interesting though.
Let's see what's happens on the 18th as their actual tenure ends and see what Gov.SIM will do with the security agencies at his disposal.

greggng:
What happens when he refuses to vacate the throne?

The law will be enforced.
Many are angry because the Ado who was dethroned is not keeping quiet and has taken the case to court.
So as it is now, let the court do their part and whatever justice that comes out of it will be enforced and I'm sure no one will want to stand against such judgement.
