When I saw the name I told myself it must be another Kenneth. He has just proven that all the noise he was making was to create clout for himself. He has now joined the likes of Reno Omokri, Daniel Bwala who was also once Atiku's watch dog. It is true that a peeople deserve the government they get. This is so sad for me. Another bites the dust!

CJStarz:
Davido for use NWA (child) BINGO.
Nwa is singular, Umu (children) is plural.

In Igbo land, Bingo is a generic name for dogs.
Inotherwords, Reno be dog pikin

He no reach make dem use plural for this hypocrite.

Kai! I pray that God will help them heal. Watching the video was traumatic for me not to talk of the woman and her childrne. See the fear in their eyes. God help them o!. It is not something anyone should experience.

Thank God for them. But this makes me wonder why the same method has not been used to bring back the teachers and children kidnapped over two weeks ago. Or is it a matter of Animal Farm by George Orwell, some animals are more equal than the others.

The spokesperson for the Nigeria Labour Congress, Benson Upah, has described the proposed N100,000 national minimum wage being considered by state governors as unrealistic, arguing that Nigerian workers should earn as much as N1 million monthly, given prevailing economic conditions.

Upah stated this in an interview with The PUNCH on Sunday while reacting to comments by the Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum and Governor of Kwara State, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, who disclosed that governors were considering a new national minimum wage of N100,000.

AbdulRazaq, in a Facebook post on Saturday, said the proposal was informed by rising inflation, increasing living costs and the growing financial burden on Nigerian workers.

According to the governor, state governments were already engaging the Federal Government and organised labour to arrive at a wage structure that balances workers’ welfare with fiscal sustainability.

Reacting to the proposal, Upah said although the governors’ consideration of a wage review was commendable, N100,000 was significantly below what workers require to cope with current economic realities.

“We consider it thoughtful of the Kwara State governor to propose this, but certainly, N100,000 falls far below the realistic figure,” he said.

The labour leader cited the continued depreciation of the naira, rising inflation, increases in electricity tariffs, higher fuel prices, declining purchasing power and the impact of new tax measures as factors making a substantially higher wage necessary.

“Given the realities around the exchange rate, inflation, raised tariffs, the surge in the pump price of petrol and associated costs, the decline in the purchasing power of the average worker, and the effects of the new tax regime on our cost of living, the realistic figure, subject to status quo maintenance, would be N1 million,” he stated.

Upah argued that government revenues have improved significantly and should support enhanced remuneration for workers.

“In light of the earnings by governments, this should not be a big issue. Check what is being shared at FAAC. The windfall from the Middle East war has put over N5tn in the treasury. Even though this is temporary, it is nonetheless very good for governments,” he added.

The NLC spokesman further stressed that the workforce remains the most valuable asset of any nation and should be adequately compensated to ensure productivity and economic growth.

“Finally, please note that the greatest asset of any nation is its workforce,” he said.

The debate over workers’ wages has intensified amid worsening economic conditions following the removal of fuel subsidies and the floating of the naira by the Federal Government.

In July 2024, the Federal Government approved a new national minimum wage of N70,000 after prolonged negotiations with organised labour. However, labour unions have continued to argue that inflation and rising living costs have significantly eroded the value of the wage.

Recent increases in electricity tariffs, transportation costs and food prices have further fuelled demands for another wage review, with labour leaders insisting that workers’ salaries should reflect prevailing economic realities.

The Nigeria Governors’ Forum has yet to formally present any proposal on a new minimum wage framework to the Federal Government or organised labour.

These so called representatives of workers are mostly charlatans and opportunists. The government at least at the Federal level has not paid the 70,000 Naira minimum wage. Shouldn't that be the first thing, you should fight for. So, you have taking us for fools. When you want to refuel your accounts, you decided on a strike without a follow-up.

So you want her to be a rubber stamp abi? You don't want her to exercise her rights as a Senator?

Thank you o! You are one of the few that are thinking clearly. It is so sad, but I am beginning to think that Nairaland is now filled with misinformed youth. You must learn to listen to constructive criticism and accept it as such and not go off tangent. You cannot be casting aspersions at her person. She is there to represent her people and if something does not favour them, she should speak up. So leave her person out of your uninformed comments.

The woman is advertising her business. The toilet is too luxurious. It’s like a club or spa’s type. A male hostel requires the type in pubs; a trough-style urinal where seven students can stand side-by-side while peeing. Those are super easy to clean and disinfect. Lack of maintenance will destroy this unit in a year or less.

Advertise your own too.

I hope justice will be served because the guys are showing no remorse at all. Shei! the governor, the greatest mistake of Edo State has been indirectly supporting these activities with his not properly thought through utterances. He should come out and speak.

Happy birthday feminist… now that you’re 46, no husband, no male figure in your child’s life I hope you’re happy? Your son is probably going to be home schooled cos the pain you are avoiding from him going to a school with other kids while they show him his mom’s tape is a very bitter pill to swallow… You’ve won awards, you’ve made money, but at 46 are you really happy? You traded your peace for the stage, you traded a home for clout, now age is catching up with you dear tiwa….. we love your music but we won’t let you corrupt the new generation of women with your toxic feminist agenda, women need a man, kids need a father figure. Happy birthday tiwa… I wish you a long prosperous life where you can regret every decisions you made.

SO BITTER. WHY ARE YOU DRINKING PANADOL FOR ANOTHER'S HEADACHE. SHO! O GA O!

In all honesty, though Air Peace has set milestones, but there are still many things left hanging. Their administrative structure leaves little to desire. The crew could answer the questions as to our flights. I wanted to call them out in September, 2025 after travelling from a supposed flight connecting flight from Port Harcourt to Gatwick, London. My first shocker after going to the International wing was to be sent to the domestic wing of the Airport. I just told myself it is because they do not have neough passengers yet from Port Harcourt which I understood. What I could not understand and irked me was when arrived at the Domestic wing, we had to personally bring down our luggage, paid for trolley to take them to the bus provided by Air Peace.
When wegot to the International Wing we had to bring down our stuff again to go through checks. Coming from UK was worse because the layover was almost 12 hours, we sat on the chair with our luggage at the International Airport from 6pm we arrived till around 5am when they called us to bring our things to the bus. Of course, we were checked again and told one of our suitcases was overweight.
I was traumatised by that experience. We could have gone to a hotel to sleep but where would we keep our 6 suitcases. The only reason I would consider taking them again is if I am travelling from Lagos because their services aboard the flight was fantastic.

Do you have any yourself. No wonder your name is Nero. Find out from history who Nero. Birds of a feather flock together. Wike should take a hike. He is milked RIvers dry and wants to continue.

HgAkpobomeEr:
The US ambassador should have just kept quiet.

Agree with you on that. Is the government that is affected? That is just hogwash. With the kind of stupendous money they make from Visa applications in Nigeria, they should have had a rethink and given us a soft landing. Nigerians should look elsewhere and save their monies. To get visa you spend almost two to three million not talk of buying the ticket just for vacation.

Good day Nairalanders,

What is the light situation in your area, just as the heading suggests.

In my office 🏬 Lekki phase1, light has been very bad, since last month, despite the fact that we are on Band A, we have been solely relying on generator from morning till night.

In my house at around Obalende, infact that one os worst, sometimes, I stay in the office late, so that once I enter house, just take my bath and sleep straight..

The most painful part is that, my inlaw who is from Oyo state are complaing bitterly that light might not even come for 2-3 month and when it does, it won't last more than 4hours and its gone..

We have a minister who is from Oyo state and can't even manage just a ministry and want to govern a whole state.

The light is really giving me a concern, mostly this festive period that alot of expenses is there, you will still be thinking of powering generator with high rate of fuel to welcome visitors..

Here in Farm Road 2, Eliozu Port Harcourt. Electricity has been unstable since the beginning of November. But it has become worse since last week. We receive electricity for like 2 hours, if it comes. This is different from the one minute on and off as though there is a child playing with the switch. Is this forestate of what to expect in 2026?

Oshiomole is an agbero and egoist, howbeit, a well-spoken one. I had so much respect for him as NLC president. But politics has exposed him for who he is, a charade. The man just likes the sound of his voice.

Can you even see how myopic and tribalistic you are. Most everything be seen from the point of tribalism. As long as there are people like you, Nigeria has a long way to go. For your information, I am not anyway Ibo. I am first a Nigerian before any other thing and I am proud to say so.

Only if they will allow a free and fair election. This character would be a goner

Abi1 Is this not a matter of what we asked for and what was delivered? How can the number one of a state in so much pain be this wicked? He has only fulfilled this scripture -"What sorrow for the land ruled by a servant, the land whose leaders feast in the morning." (Ecclesiastes 10:16 NLT). This is a description of this governor. Even the fine recommended glasses he is wearing cannot hide the fact that he is completely blind intentionally. So sad!

Thank you O! As common sense should be, I have to realise that it takes personal choice to use it. This one that is supporting the Akpabio rubbish is one of them. Take her to court if she did something not seize her passport. Is she a criminal?
