Is President Bola Tinubu a political deity? Why do some believe that he is unbeatable in 2027?
You see your failure??


You're doing political permutations and calculations..

You're telling lies to yourself and believing that the rigging in the Nigerian Elections is almost Zero.

Keep ignoring the broad-daylight electoral fraud that continues to be allowed by the system.

By the time they re-enact the Kogi-2023 and Imo-2023 scenarios in the General Elections of 2027 which you have been doing lots of calculations and permutations for,, by then you will understand what we are saying..
And it would be very late for anybody to do anything..

Ogun, Delta and Port Harcourt...

Haven't engaged the services of one in Lagos so can't speak about there.

But In each of the states I listed its within that range... Except maybe Inflation like I said.

Some of those casual workers collect more because theirs is more of contract agreement.

I remember a friend complaining about being charged #15k for a casual guy to cut the grass on his half plot of land when I was in warri.

I was charged #80k to evacuate (just to pack the faceas out manually) by those aboki guys from a collapsed soak away before maintainance work began proper.

So I can say some of the casual guys collect more even though there might take a day or 2 to complete their task- but at their own pace!
Wow..
Ogun, Delta, and Rivers??

Day-Pay of about N4,000 is so cheap though.

Politics › “APC Blackmailing Me” — Governor Hyacinth Alia Of Benue State. by BluntCrazeMan(op): 8:09am On Dec 11, 2023
“APC BLACKMAILING ME” — GOVERNOR HYACINTH ALIA OF BENUE STATE.

Governor Hyacinth Alia of Benue state has described the recent statement by the three Zonal Vice Chairmen of the party in the state against him as groundless allegations aimed at blackmailing him.

Recall that the Zonal Vice Chairmen of the part in the state had accused the Governor of humiliating the party and alienating its leaders and stakeholders among others.


But reacting in a statement on his verified social media page, the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Tersoo Kula, said “we have read claims made by the Benue APC Zonal Vice Chairmen, and despite our aversion to straightforwardly label these assertions, we find no more fitting euphemisms than to characterize them as an amalgamation of fabrications or groundless allegations directed and aimed at blackmailing the leader of the party in the state, His Excellency, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia.

“One such utter falsehood alleges that 80 percent of appointed caretaker chairmen were not part of the nominees sent to the Governor, suggesting opposition members took preponderance on the list. However, as we eagerly looked forward to seeing the evidence to this watery claim, there was none, giving it away as a mere figment of their imagination.

“Another fallacious claim holds that the widespread party dissatisfaction peaked with the Governor’s caretaker chairman announcement. That claim conveniently overlooks the fact that the Governor as the leader of the party in the state has the prerogative to subject suggested names to scrutiny.

“No sane Governor will accept wholly everything suggested to him hook, line and sinker. Sadly, it appears that the “party” synonymizes suggestions with the Ten Commandments handed to Moses on Mount Sinai written on the two stone tablets.

“The three-man forerunner team further suggests that the Governor favors people outside the APC who allegedly worked against him during electioneering and voting phases. This appears more like petty resentments drawn from psychotic imagination, lacking any substantive basis.

“They also question the legitimacy of a meeting attended by notable party figures and statesmen like Sen. Barnabas Gemade, Sen. Ameh Ebute, Gen. Lawrence Onoja rtd, Navy Comdr Dan Ihinga rtd, Gen. India Garba rtd etc whom they derogatorily tagged “Emergency Stakeholders” and hinted at a conspiratorial motive behind the meeting, insinuating a plot against the party. The irony of branding a seasoned politician in the class of Gemade with such a demeaning tag is truly enlightening.

“According to the three mature dancers of a proverbial drumming from the bush, their suspicion, they claim, was further fueled by the presence of Dr. Chile Igbawua, who is not an APC member. This unsubstantiated claim further exposes a desperate inclination on the part of the fabricators to link Rev. Fr. Alia with the opposition. They have also gone to town with the gleeful rumour that Gov. Alia has concluded plans to dump his party, the APC.


“They buried shame while constructing formal media statements from rumor mills , trivial gossip, and their whimsical imaginations, rather than relying on concrete facts.

“A particularly absurd claim says there is a formation and funding of a committee headed by Gen. Lawrence Onoja and Barr. Emmanuel Jime, supposedly tasked to perforate the Aso Villa and National Secretariat with a mandate to spread falsehoods against the party and the SGF.

“The desperation behind such fabrications raises concerns about the team’s motives. It is worth mentioning here that both party chieftains, specifically targeted as subjects of blackmail by the orchestrators, are people of impeccable reputation. They have diligently served both the party, the state, and the nation in various high-ranking capacities. It beguiles the imagination to fathom how these fabricators conjured the notion of reducing these distinguished party figures into mere errand henchmen for mischievous purposes.

“The narrative takes a shocking turn as the accusers declared the Benue APC’s staunch support for the Governor, insisting there’s no turning back. This claim contradicts the earlier narrative of discontent, further exposing the inconsistency in their fabricated stories.

“Lastly, the ‘party’ claims that the Governor has not made any financial contributions to the party, and they too have not asked him for money aside from the monthly dues, which they claim he has neglected to pay since assuming office. Wow! To cut short this discussion, we demand to speak with the books.

‘It is unfortunate that amidst all this, the spinners of these fabrications might have at least made some sense had they expressed concerns about the governor’s performance or public dissatisfaction with his leadership style, perceiving potential repercussions for the party in future elections. However, what we read was an extensive narrative fixated on the elders and the party and shamelessly laced with falsehood in their desperate quest to discredit and blackmail Rev. Fr. Iormem Alia.

“While we acknowledge the consciousness in uniting Benue State and making it a better place for us and our children, we equally wish to submit that developing Benue State in all sectors is an imperative that sits boldly on the wish list of Governor Hyacinth Alia.

“Governor Alia understands the importance of unity and teamwork in achieving the above. He has been making frantic efforts towards maintaining a cordial working relationship with the leadership of his party.

“His continued funding of party activities, presence and funding of the expanded stakeholders meetings of APC in the state is an eloquent testimony of how he holds the party so dear to his heart.”

My suggestion is #2k...

Every hour.

By the way I do not think Masons collect the amount you stated o.

Firstly, they charge per day... Which depending on the area is between N2.5k-4k. But this is for a whole day's job which can be between 5-8hours.

I may be wrong though because it's been a while I engaged the services of one and realise inflation may have occurred.

But like suggested #2 hourly is a good start considering the present economy and if one doesn't want to be too unrealistic!
Ok..
That's good.

Please,, which State is that, where MASONS charge N2,500 to N4,000 per day??

And also..
Please I want to know how much the casual-workers are charging per-day in such State where Masons charge so low.
(by “casual workers”,, I mean bush-cutters, street-sweepers, trench-diggers e.t.c.)
They may be charging N1,000 per-day, or even N700 or N500 per day sef.

A typist/clerical person with OL/NCE/OND should not earn more than mason, carpenters, welders, plumbers -all doing technically and physically demanding jobs.. It does work like in UK, EU, Canada, US… Construction workers are one of the most paid workers without university degree. Just like electricians and mechanics are well paid abroad.
I think I need a figure here.

How much do you think that A typist/clerical person with OL/NCE/OND should be paid per hour??

Truth is Nigeria can pay up to 11k per hour if it really wants to. What does UK have that we don't have? It's basically proper visionary leadership.

There's money in this country. The major issue is that we have extravagant leaders with very poor vision. Leaders who don't care about us. Leaders who at the slightest opportunity divide us amongst tribal and religious lines. Leaders who now use illiteracy and poverty as a weapon to keep enriching themselve.

Let the cost of governance alone be reduced and you'd see that there's money in this country.

5k per hour is a good start. Remember, increasing pay will surely increase productivity.
That's good..

Should private firms and individual employers also pay this minimum hourly pay rate?

Going by the way Nigerians are subjected to harsh treatment under their employers, going by the hourly rate they earn about N210 per hour.
Are you for real??
Masons earn about N1,250 per hour.
Mason-Servers earn about N750 per hour.


So tell me...
Why would professionals in the design-offices earn N210??

Are there good reasons?
Or abi you're just trying to joke?

Anyone who suggests anything less than N1,000 is not actually aware of how big the Nigerian Economy truly is,, and how the human resources are being seriously bastardized..

The workers are being neglected..

And that's the resultant effect of what we have now at the moment.


.
.
In Nigeria, in the informal building construction sector,, the daily pay for the experienced artisans is N10,000, while that of the inexperienced labourers is N6,000.

This translates to N1,250 and N750 per hour respectively -- for the artisan and the labourer.

So, why would the professionals be the ones to be paid far less than artisans and labourers??
Career › Suggestions: What Would Be The Minimum Hourly Pay Rate For The Nigerian Workers? by BluntCrazeMan(op):
Preamble:
During the 2023 campaign period, part of the things which Peter-Obi promised that he would do in order to increase the “productivity” of the government workers was to phase-out the “Monthly Salary” system, and introduce an “Hourly-Pay” system, where the hours of work by the workers are calculated and paid at the end of the agreed periods of payment.

He promised that there would also be flexibility of how the workers chose to be paid...
Either Weekly, Biweekly, or Monthly.

He envisaged that this system would make workers to have control over their works by knowing exactly what they are supposed to do, and do it.. Then they can clock-out at the first job in order to go to the next job where their expertise are also needed and clock-in.

There won't be any fear of paying double salary to anyone who works at more than one place at a time.


Basic “Hourly Pay Rates” are calculated and paid for 8 hours per day.
They are the payments which are taxed by the Government.
(Any other extra hours above the maximum 8-hours are counted separately and paid as overtime, with some additional added percentages to it)

Then, 5 days per week. (That is, the weekdays).
Works that were done on the weekdays are the ones that were taxed by the Government.
(For someone who had worked completely for 5 days in any week, any other extra days above the maximum 5-days are counted separately and paid as overtime, with some additional percentages to it. Nevertheless, if the person didn't work completely for 5 days within the weekdays, and he hoped to cover-up the days of work within the weekend, he doesn't get an overtime on the number of weekend days of work which are below 5 days in a week,, but those works which he did on the weekends would not be taxed)

Then, for those that are paid monthly, Each month consists of 4-weeks..
Thus, actually making it 13-months in a year..
(And not the 12 months we used to know)

..
NOW, TO THE MAIN REASON FOR OPENING THIS THREAD:

The current minimum basic monthly pay in Nigeria is N30,000..
Which translates to N187.50 for each hour of work,, or N1,500 for each day at work, and N7,500 for each week.


The current minimum basic hourly pay rate in the United Kingdom (both for Government Workers and Private Workers) is £10 (ten-pounds)..
Which is about N11,000 in Nigeria - going by the CBN’s official rate for conversion..

I am not advocating for Nigerians to be paid up to N11,000 per hour of work in Nigeria.. To be frank, that amount is too high for the Nigerian economy to carey.. but at-least, something reasonable enough which our economy can actually carry at the moment.

LET US JUST SUGGEST WHAT WE THINK IS FEASIBLE AND OBTAINABLE..

What amount (in Naira) should be the “Minimum Basic Hourly Pay Rate” for the Nigerian Workers,, Both the Workers in the Government Establishments and those in Private Firms, including those who are employed by individual employers.


....
..
My own personal Opinion...
I am suggesting any amount between N1,500 and N2,000... (Per Hour Ooo.. Not Per Day)
It is still too small compared to other countries, but it is actually what the economy can actually sustain for now, and at the same time, bring out the very best outputs in the workers..


(To put it into the contest we can understand:
N1,500 per hour means:
N12,000 per day.
N60,000 per week.
And N240,000 per month..
...
.
N2,000 per hour means:
N16,000 per day.
N80,000 per week.
And N320,000 per month..)

If you want to borrow money for something, you should be pitching your ideas and strategies to him,, so he can invest into your ideas by giving you the money.

You're Not the first “beggar” who approached him in the disguise of obtaining a loan,, who had not paid him back -- up till now.

And now that you're his nephew,, when you start finding it difficult to pay back,, your parents would now go to beg.

And businessmen don't like this type of begging from relatives..

So..
Relax.
He is being a shrewd businessman..
Business comes first.
Relatives come second.

That was why he gave you something that was free-of-charge.
As for the money that wasn't free-of-charge, he had not seen the reasons for putting his money in your “reasons for the loan”.

DyshApp:
A married man has anonymously taken to social media to complain about his wife’s addiction to watching cartoons with their children.

According to him, his wife was always excited to watch and sing along to the cartoon with their kids and she would narrate the stories to them if they missed them.

According to the man, something must be wrong with his wife. While admitting that she has not failed in her roles as a wife and mother to his kids, he reiterated his worry that he felt she should have grown past cartoons.

He appealed for help to fix the cartoon problem.

In his words:
"I feel like something is wrong, I don't really get her sometimes. She doesn't even watch the movies I want us to watch together unless I really encourage her. She acts like me not watching those their cartoons with them, I'm missing out on something great.

“My wife, 37 years old, enjoys watching cartoon even more than our kids. When I say cartoon, I mean animated movies.
Our first boy is 14 years old down to our last who is currently 4 years old.
They’ve turned the home into a cartoon home.
They are soo addicted, they sing their songs, do their dances and discuss those things all the time.

My wife at her age will be running as if something strange was happening and she forgets herself to be an adult sometimes.
I’ve tried to explain to her that I don’t really like it, I don’t complain because they are being happy but, I don’t understand my wife’s addiction. Even when the kids aren’t around, she’ll be watching animated movies alone.

Once they get home, she’s going to narrate all she watched to them and even demonstrate with actions some funny/emotional scenes.
I feel like something is wrong, I don’t really get her sometimes. She doesn’t even watch the movies I want us to watch together unless I really encourage her. She acts like me not watching those their cartoons with them, I’m missing out on something great.
Is there something I can do to help her? It’s somehow bothering me.


Kindly note that, she’s fully employed and still does her duties as a wife and a mother. I don’t have any problem on that side, I just feel she’s addicted to animated movies when actually, she has grown pass it.”
So,, real movies that are above the grasp of kids, but which are animated (Jango for instance), the man regards all of them as kiddies cartoons??

SUBSIDY: FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO DISBURSE GRANTS TO SMES

The Federal Government says it will soon commence disbursement of funds under its Presidential Palliative Programme, targeted at alleviating the impact of the fuel subsidy removal.


A statement on Sunday by the Minister for Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr Doris Uzoka-Anite, said the programmes consisted of the Presidential Conditional Grant Programme and the Presidential Palliative Loan Programme.

It stated, “In the Presidential Conditional Grant Programme, the Federal Government will disburse a grant sum of N50,000 to nano businesses across the 774 local government areas.

“The Federal Government through the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment and Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency of Nigeria will collaborate with state and local governments, federal legislators, federal ministers, banks and other stakeholders.

“Eligible nano business beneficiaries should be willing to provide proof of residential/business address in their local government area, and provide relevant personal and bank account information, including Bank Verification Number for verification of identity.”

For the Presidential Palliative Loan Programme, it said, the Federal Government would disburse N75bn to micro, small and medium-sized enterprises across various sectors, and N75bn specifically to manufacturers.

The loan would be administered to the beneficiaries at a single-digit interest rate of nine per annum.

While MSMEs can access loan facilities up to N1m with a repayment period of three years, manufacturers can access up to N1bn to access financing for working capital with a repayment period of one year for working capital or five years for the purchase of machinery and equipment,” it stated.
