Politics / Re: 'Nothing Can Wash Away His criminality': Kenneth Okonkwo Dumps Abure-led EXCO by casualobserver: 8:56pm On May 21
Toh! Much as I can’t stand this Okonkwo man, it seems he has more principles than that clown Obi who quickly ran back to endorse the structure of criminality after Atiku’s camp exposed his clandestine meetings with PDP. Realizing Atiku is only using his head.

Then again maybe he has done the math, read the tea leaves and realized Obi can never be president and is seizing the opportunity to make a break back to APC. He has already publicly insulted Atiku, calling him a geriatric on Arise TV. I said at the time there is no way Obi and Atiku can work together after the way Okonkwo insulted Atiku on Tv.


My post on the subject from January 22nd reproduced below, the relevant section in bold.

casualobserver:



This merger arrangement is medicine after death. These are the same PDP people that could not sort themselves out at the opportune time. It is now that they lost that they realize they should sort themselves out?

The opportunity has gone…..why?

1) the south is already half way through its 8 years. The North is fully aware of what happened with Jonathan and will not make the mistake of voting for a fresh southerner who will get there and feels he is entitled to 8 years. The North would rather back a southerner they know for sure has only 4 years to go that take the chance of a man who is not known to be loyal and respect agreements. They would rather wait 4 years and have 8 years of peace.

2). Obi is unsellable in the core North. As it stands right now, Like it or not, accept it or not, an Ibo man cannot win the presidency without the support of the SW. The SE have not built bridges and trust to earn their votes. Learn from the politics of the SW. the SW is president today because they built bridges and earned the trust of the North. Tinubu is president today not because the SW said it is our turn, you can say it is your turn from now till kingdom come. Tinubu is president because the North said it is the turn of the south and in the south we trust the SW. so when you hear Okonkwo on tv insulting Atiku and calling him a geriatric, remmember these are the people whose votes Obi will need.

3) The only ticket than can wrestle power from Tinubu is Atiku and Obi VP but the ego (which is the same issue that caused the division in the 1st place) will not allow that to happen. You only have to listen to that actor lawyer on Channels yesterday to know that this will never happen. He swore that if Obi accepts To be VP he is done with Obi. This is the reason why the merger will not work. Obi has gone too far down the path and sees himself and indeed is now projecting himself as the de facto opposition to back down to accept the only path that can actually put him in Aso rock….as VP to Atiku.

4) PDP blame Obi for their failure. They resent him. Despite the fact that Wike worked for APC, listen to the way PDP members like Sowunmi and Reno talk affectionately and with respect and awe about Wike but are disparaging towards Obi. You think these people are ready to play second fiddle to Obi and LP? They would rather defect to APC. The insult of an Obi presidency to a PDP man is like someone taking over your family land and asking you to pay rent on it. You would rather die!!!

5) you think Atiku after 6 failed attempts will back down to back Obi who prevented him from snatching his destiny?

In the end the same issues that caused their division in 2023 will cause the failure of any merger. The problem with Atiku, Obi and Kwakwanso is that they have PDP mentality AKA “no gree for anybody” mindset. That is the fundamental difference between APC and PDP. In APC when the party says step down, you step down and work for the party. Umahi was told to step down in senate race and not only step down but become campaign manager for Akpabio. Today he man’s the most powerful ministry in Nigeria which will enhance his profile for a shot at the VP slot in 2031. APc play the long game, PDP are by their DNA short term in their thinking that is why Atiku, Obi and Kwakwanso are serial defectors.

Atiku and Obi missed their appointment with destiny in 2023. They snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. That opportunity is gone and gone for good. Umahi or Uzodima will enter Aso rock as VP in 2031 and from there……. It is not by chance that Umahi is works minister and Uzodima is chairman APC governors forum…everything APC does especially under Tinubu is deliberate. Obi missed his chance to be VP. His destiny now is as a noise maker.

Politics / Re: Peter Obi 'endorses' Julius Abure-Led EXCO by casualobserver: 8:48pm On May 21
He has simply realized Atiku is trying to use his head after Atiku’s camp released photos of his visits to PDP chieftains to embarrass him so he has retraced his steps to endorse the structure of criminality. Like I have said many times, the same thing that cause Atiku and Obi to scatter in 2022 will not cause them to unite in 2027….ego and selfish personal ambition……a leopard cannot change its spots talk less 2.

In yoruba we say “Olorun ma je ka ri agba ana”. Meaning May God not let us take a path or encounter a problem that has no end or solution but consumes us. That is the story now of Atiku and Obi.

Politics / Re: Minimum Wage: Why We May Not Accept N100,000 – Organised Labour by casualobserver: 7:09pm On May 21
freshboi88:


You are talking without any atom of sense. Why will the government decide to spend money on Hajj which has no economic benefit to the country. Who benefits from Hajj ? Saudi Arabians, who benefits from a wage increase ? Nigerians.

I hope you can now see how senseless and daft you are.

You are the one who has no sense. Workers make economic output Government spends on social programs. Government does not owe anybody a salary, government pays it’s workers for the work they do based on their output. Healthcare is a social program, education is a social program, whether it makes sense to you or me is irrelevant. It is like asking why is a worker spending his money on betting…..because it is his money and that is his choice! I have already said it many times that I am against any type of religious spending by government but that is neither here nor there. Spending money on pilgrimage is misplaced priority, it is not the reason the minimum wage is what it is. if they weren’t spending the money on pilgrimages it doesn’t mean they should divert it to unproductive workers. Also minimum wage is not just about government workers. If the money wasn’t going to pilgrimage it should go to education health or roads not unproductive workers. Your argument about Hajj has no relevance as to whether the minimum wage worker is WORTH the money they are demanding. That is a social programs spending priority issue.

You are diverting from the issue. I have asked if the average worker in Nigeria has an economic output of N250k a month or not. Yes or no. If that is so then why is a minimum wage worker who is well below the average entitled to anything more than N40-80k based on his output?

My whole argument is based on the economic output of the Nigerian worker. Until you can answer the question in bold I will not respond to you because everything else is just opinion. Sentiment and noise. I have given you a factual figure, dispute it with evidence, if you can’t you are just making noise and emotional El arguments of which I am done entertaining.

NOTE: I am not unsympathetic to fact that their wages are not enough to have a decent life. I am simply saying how can you do work of N40-80k of economic output and expect to be paid more? The figures do not lie.

You need to deal with the issue of what is the economic output of a Nigerian worker first before you go on to address why his economic value is not enough to sustain him. It is then that you will understand the problem which I have postulated from the start: the Nigerian worker generally but particularly lower down the ladder is unskilled, unproductive and inefficient and it takes 3,4,5,6 workers to do the work of 1 person so those workers end up sharing the salary of 1 person.

The reason the Nigerian worker is not paid much is because you don’t get much economic output out of him.

Armaggedon:
They take life easy by using their people's body parts for ritual but when an Igbo man prospers more than them they begin to envy him.

They show off the most by doing owambe at any slightest meeting but when an Igbo sprays money, they are thrown into mass envy, questioning his wealth and tagging EFCC again him.

The most ethnic minded people I've come across, yet they do not love one another. The fiercest celebrity rivalry and spat usually happen amongst them.

The biggest farmers of hate and injustice. Whoever is unpopular among his people becomes their closest ally and whoever is born among them learns to hate his people until he grows up to meet his people and learns the truth.

You are delusional. The typical Yoruba man just wants to educate his children, have a profession or trade that gives him respect in society, after that party and have sex..his life is complete. You think people envy you for your money because your focus is money money at all costs. Very often we laugh at you because the majority of you don’t even know how to spend it with class. For instance you build large vulgar houses with tacky expensive furniture and ghastly exterior tiles. I mean who puts marble or toilet tiles on his exterior walls….an ibo man!!!


Trust me we are not envious of you, quite the contrary, you can only be envious of someone who has what you want and don’t have. A typical Yoruba man just wants enough money to be comfortable. If money meant that much to us, more of us would be doing drugs and fake products like you. I had an uncle who had a very successful business in the 70s to 80s, your people entered his territory with fake products and killed his business. When I was about to start a business I went to him for advice and asked why he didn’t join them or take them on. His response was he is a comfortable man, the only way to compete with them was to also sell fake or substandard products, he cannot destroy his reputation built over decades by joining them to sell fake or substandard products.

He did not expose anything. Stop giving yourselves more credit than you deserve. The Uk has always known about the study for visa scam it is not a new thing. They are the ones that deliberately created the laws to allow it. When I was in the UK in the ‘90s it was the sham “English Language” schools in Holburn that was the route for visas for the chinese.

At one time it was Chinese. Because it is Nigerians you think it is new?They allowed Nigerians to come because their economy was in the dumps, they know our schools are bad and they needed the fees to subsidize home students. They clamped down because they achieved their aim and also the public started complaining about migrants…mostly the latter.

Anybody who knows the UK knows this is what they do. In a few years when their economy starts to suffer they will relax the rules quietly and then they will tighten when the public complain…..rinse repeat. It is their way. Same way they will make noise about corruption and dirty money and appear to clamp down but will quietly open a loophole so the dirty money continues to flow into their economy.

You need to understand the dance between the Uk government and the Citizens. The citizens act all pompous and righteous, the government knows without foreign money and foreign Labour they have no economy. The govt can’t tell them the truth so they play the perpetual game of open loophole/close loophole.

freshboi88:


All I see here is a lot of gibberish. Your first paragraph sums up your post.

So going by your analogy. Government will derive more value from spending money subsiding Hajj than increasing it's workers salary ?


You are clearly not properly educated. What the government chooses to spend its money on and the wages a worker deserves are 2 separate issues that are not connected and that is the point. And yes government chooses to spend its money on Hajj because in its opinion(it is government that owns the money) it derives value from doing so. Whether you and I agree is a different issue that has no bearing on what the economic value of a Nigerian worker is.

Learn to make intellectual and not emotional arguments. Like I said what I spend my money on is no business of my houseboy. The only part of my money that is his business is his salary. If he feels I am paying him too low, he is free to resign and find someone who will pay him what he wants if he can find such. He likely won’t because his output is not worth was he is asking.

What you want and what you are worth are 2 different things. You cannot be worth more than the economic value of your output. I don’t know why this th8ng is so hard for you to grasp. The figures do not lie…….the average Nigerian worker has an economic output/value of N250k a month. How can the lowest worker then be worth anything close to that? This is not opinion this is fact.

GDP is $400b, population is 200m. Naira is 1500 to $1. GDP/ capita is N250k a month. Do the math yourself. If I am wrong please feel free to challenge me on my figures. If I am right explain to me why he should earn more than the economic value of his work, why a worker should be paid more than he deserves and where the money is supposed to come from?

freshboi88:


But the government has 90billion naira to send some selected persons to Hajj. Some of you ehn God will judge u

The fact that I waste my money on foolish things does not mean I should pay Houseboy more than the value of his work. If he decides to add to his value to me by adding for example cooking skills to his skill set, then he has added to his output and his economic value and I will pay him more.

This is all part of the sense of entitlement that bedevils the country. Ask your friends and relatives who have japad, every penny they earn abroad they work hard for.

While I believe govt has no business spending money on religious activities, anybody will spend his money the way they deem fit and on what they feel they derive value from. If your employer including the govt refuses to increase your salary beyond a certain level it is because they don’t think you have value beyond that level and if you leave they can replace you.

If I go to a nightclub and spend 6 times my houseboys salary on drinks, it does not mean my houseboy suddenly deserves a salary increase. His salary is dependent on his value to me in the job he does for me. What I spend on drinks is a reflection on the value of the drinks to me.

Let me give you all a hint in life: the easier it is to replace you in your job, the less economic value you have, the less you can demand a salary increase. Harsh but true. A laborer has no skills, his boss probably does not know his name, he goes nobody notices, a CEO, a good IT specialist, a good , doctor, engineer, architect etc resigns and there is panic “how do we replace him”. They are the ones that can bargain for salary not an unskilled worker or a poorly educated graduate. You can take what is on offer or leave it. If you want more then improve your output by working harder or acquiring skills. If you want to earn enough in life legally, you have 2 options 1) find a business or trade that is in demand or 2) make yourself valuable and indispensable as an employee..the key word is indispensable! If your job is to sit down at the supermarket exit tearing receipts as customers walk out, don’t make the mistake of overestimating your importance and asking for a salary increase or you could find yourself unemployed for even thinking of asking and someone else doing your job within 5 minutes.

The low output of the Nigerian worker is a function of many things. One of which is poor skill set and education. Another is the same Labour unions that will not allow companies and government lay of redundant workers. Poor quality graduates. The list is long the bottom line is you cannot be paid more than your economic value that is why one graduate will agree to work for 40k while another with the right skills will earn N600k+ a month. If you had value you will leave your low paying job. The idea that there are no jobs is a lie, the reality is most are unqualified for the good jobs.

In the first place, that ex-NHIS Secretary is a very controversial person and was practically booted out of office for serious alleged case of poor leadership skill.

Secondly, President Buhari is not the President of Katsina alone, he is the President of the whole Federal Republic of Nigeria so it's inappropriate to raise controversy that he should be measured by what his govt achieved in his home state. President Buhari is not the
Governor of Katsina state.

To prove that the man is lying, the records of FG projects in Katsina during the reign of President Buhari is in the public domain and it's incredibly impressive for posterity. From inland dry port to university to Federal Teaching hospitals to train , highways etc, President Buhari did a lot for Kastina, North West and Nigeria as a whole. Here is just a quick list as at 2018 https://medium.com/@BuhariOsinbajo2019/buhari-administration-projects-in-north-west-nigeria-e918937b7cda

Take the lamentations from this ex-NHIS Secretary serious at your own peril. He was fired from office by President Buhari after his sack was recommended by a committee that investigated him.

You are sounding exactly like the current
CBN Governor & APC apologist...

Too much theoretical economics that
have no bearing to the Nigerian situation.

Your heartlessness is telling us that it's
🆗 for somebody to survive on 💲1 for
2 days or more.

You seem not to understand that the
machinery of government that keeps the
nation moving and existing is run by
Civil servants. The civil service is not a
profit making system .


It is not theory, it is practical fact. If your entire GDP is $400b and your population is 200m, the average worker (average not minimum wage worker) cannot earn more than $2,000 (N3m) a year which is N250k a month.

I will repeat extracts from a post I made earlier:

If 10 people are doing the work of 1 person the value or market price of their output does not increase because there are 10 workers. The market does not care! The guy who does the job alone will determine the market price and that will be the benchmark. This is why Nigerian products are not competitive internationally. If you like use 100 man hours to build a car, the price you will get for the car is set by the company who builds a similar car in 20 man hours. The value of Labour output in both factories is the same so the wage for the worker in factory A has to be 5 times less than the wage for the worker in factory B. If your price is any higher because you Labour costs are higher, your cars will be expensive, nobody will buy your cars and you will go out of business.

If you like employ 100 people to extract a barrel of oil when your competitors are employing 20 or 10. The price of your crude is the same in the market. So your workers will have to be paid less to remain in business. This is the productivity problem of the Nigerian worker. The market doesn’t care whether you can feed yourself on your salary. The supermarket worker would earn more if they didn’t have to employ someone just to tear receipts as if Nigeria is the only place there are supermarket thieves. You go to a Nigerian supermarket and you see idle staff chocking the aisles doing nothing to the point of disturbing the flow of shoppers, each of them is the reason they all collectively earn little. In a supermarket abroad where staff are paid better you do t see all this nonsense you see with Nigerian workers like singing playing music and dancing on duty. The Nigerian worker is very unproductive adds little value and that is why he is paid peanuts.


The questions many of you should ask but are not asking is what is the output of a minim wage worker if the average Output of the Nigerian worker is N250k a month? Why is the productivity of the Nigerian worker so low?

The answer is you have 4,5,6,7 people doing the job of 1 person therefore sharing the salary of 1 person. The reason is the average Nigerian worker has no economic skills, that is why you will employ someone in a supermarket just to sit down at the exit and tear customers receipts. Same thing you have govt refinery workers collecting salaries for decades and refining nothing. Yet the workers in DPR for instance who actually work cannot get a hiflgher wage because they money is spent on salaries for idle refinery workers. If govt says we want to sack refinery workers because they have no output to increase salaries of those like DPR who are actually working, it is the same workers that will say no and go on strike.

Humor me and do me a favour: as you go to places of business, be it supermarkets, government offices etc, start to observe the number of people idle doing nothing or performing mundane tasks. Hopefully you will start to understand what I am saying. You will find 3,4,5,6 people doing the job 1 person can do and as such they split the salary of that person into 3,4,5,6 places. Just observe and get back to me.

The more they feed his ego and his delusions, the more he is encouraged that he is popular and can win, the more he feels he is too popular to step down for Atiku. Obi is not the target, Atiku is….similar strategy as 2023.

Obi can’t win a presidential election in Nigeria. His role is that if a spoiler whether he and his supporters realize it or not and the job of APC is to make sure he remains a spoiler.

Politics / Re: Minimum Wage: Why We May Not Accept N100,000 – Organised Labour by casualobserver: 8:55am On May 20
NLC are comedians. I repeat the GDP per capita (the economic value of output ) of the average worker in Nigeria is N3m a year or N250k a month. This is the average worker not the lowest worker. Therefore the monthly economic output of a minimum wage worker is closer to N80k possibly even 40k. You cannot expect to be paid beyond your economic output.

I repeat we are a very inefficient economy with unproductive workers. If it takes 5 people to do the work that ordinarily 1 person should do, then the 5 will share the wages of 1 person. This is how economics works.

I could care less about the self absorbed duke and duchess of Sussex but that won't stop me from speaking out about the glaring hypocrisy of the British media.

Why do you care about the British media? Has it just occurred to you they don’t like you? Is it today you are just discovering everything about the British is hypocrisy? You think they ended slave trade because they love blacks or found God? No they ended slave trade because they invented machines that could the work of slaves but they will tell you otherwise. They shout corruption corruption, where does all the worlds corrupt money go? Slave mentality, inferiority complex is why you care what the British think, it is why you fall over yourselves over Harry and Meghan, it is the same slave mentality why you give yourselves English names and speak in fake foreign accents. Try all you can to be like hem, they will always look down on you. So get a life a have some self respect.

Why do you care about their hypocrisy, why are you bothered about what they think of you? If you care about their hypocrisy it is because deep down you desire their acceptance and validation.

And no ( in reference to your original post) they will not sing praises about Nigeria if King Charles visits. You clearly do t know the British.

The hypocrisy of British media is nauseating! The day king Charles or Prince William visit Nigeria, the same hypocritical British press will sing praises of Nigeria to the high heavens.

You are the ones who are nauseating for falling over yourselves with low self esteem and colo Mentality over the visit of a disgraced outcast Royal and his b grade celebrity wife.


Now you’ve all gotten what you deserved.
