Please I want answers to this question,what is the procedure of deploying soldiers on internal peace mission?,I ask this question because the killing of soldiers on internal peace missions has occurred repeatedly in different parts of the country,in most cases the story is always that the soldiers were suspected to be fake n hired by one party to the crisis because there's often no outright confirmation of their deployment on enquiry, personally I'm if the opinion that before the security generally are to be deployed for such mission,the state governor,local government chair n the traditional rulers of the affected areas should be informed but this is just my opinion,who knows the exact procedure please?

Those Francophone African countries using CFA uses dollars to pay for their imports,even if CFA is pegged to French franc ,they do not use it for international transactions.

CFA is tied to the French franc,and it is relatively stable,but it doesn't impact on the economies of the Francophone African countries as they are still the poorest in the continent

I just don't know how you understand the issue, let's do a simple test,now that the naira is slightly below the CFA,find out how much is a bottle of 33lager beer in Nigeria in naira n in Cameroon in CFA,you can do same for a 50cl plastic coke, let's see the results for comparison.

coputa:
It is not,the currency used for comparison is the dollar, which all the countries in Africa including nigeria are using in doing international business.

Why don't you ask yourself why the CFA is stronger than the naira and also why Africa has the lowest minimum wage in the world

Imagine, even the 30k minimum wage in Nigeria,many States are still unable to pay it despite the increase in federal allocation

Nigeria has the resources but only few has access to it

you don't seem to get the point,yes the dollar is the currency for international business by most countries but the individual exchange rates for the various currencies to the dollar varies unlike the euro or CFA zone countries that has fix exchange rates to the dollar,(remember that the CFA is tied to the french franc which is also tied to the euro),now will it make sense to compare the power of a 12 year old to a 20year old?,the exchange rate of the euro or CFA to the dollar has been relatively stable for the past five years or more,can the same be said of the naira in just two years?, certainly no,so the comparison is senseless,last time the government argued that because there was a higher price for fuel in neighboring countries that was why there was snuggling n so so the fuel price has to go up because it was cheaper in Nigeria,now that the CFA has overtaken the naira,ask the same voodoo economics in Nigeria to adjust the price of fuel to be at par with the neighboring countries n see grammar?

Seychelles boasts the highest estimated minimum gross monthly wage, standing at $465.4.

In Africa, minimum wage rates are among the lowest globally, and this ing that many of its countries are still developing. However, it's worth noting that even on the continent, there are variations, and workers in some countries have a better shot at earning higher wages compared to others.

According to a Wisevoter report, Seychelles boasts the highest estimated minimum gross monthly wage, standing at $465.4. Following closely are Libya and Morocco in the rankings.

These kind of comparison is misleading and mischievous,how can you be comparing the minimum wage of countries with varying currency strength?,it more sensible to make this comparison amongst the European union countries or amongst the CFA zone countries,most this comparison is only use to deceive the people n justify negative government policies, this has been used repeatedly in Nigeria for years now especially in the oil sector to justify fuel price increase.

Why did the truck driver refused to stop?,customs collects duty on foreign goods n excise on local goods,customs don't stay only at the borders,many of those truck drivers are illiterates n unruly behaving as if they are above the law,as usual people would heap all the blame on the custom instead of the unruly driver whose disobedience instigated the problem in the first place,but we are only encouraging more lawlessness in the Land.

Unemployed doctors aren't the health department's only vice; those who do work in state clinics and hospitals are heavily underpaid, says the South African Medical Association (SAMA).

Yet, South African government doctors earn up to three times more in a month than what some make in a year in other middle-income countries in Africa, such as Kenya and Nigeria.

But while the government is scrambling to get enough money to ensure that all 694 unemployed doctors, as well as recently graduated healthcare professionals, are employed, SAMA says the country's public-sector doctors aren't paid enough.

At a media briefing ahead of SAMA's annual conference in mid-February, Mzulungile Nodikida, CEO of the association, said that a study commissioned by them shows that those doctors who are already employed by provincial health departments "are earning 2015 salaries".

The study found doctors are experiencing "cost-of-living pressures", but also concedes that their salaries are "above what other similar income-level countries pay their doctors".


SA VS KENYA AND NIGERIA

For example, in Kenya, medical interns were paid around Ksh122 000 and Ksh145 000 per month (including risk and housing allowances) according to the 2013 Commission's allowances for government employees. This works out to around R16 000 to R19 000 a month, compared to the almost R28 000 a medical intern earns monthly in South Africa that year.

Similarly, an entry-level medical officer (which, in South Africa, means you have completed two years' internship and a year of community service) was paid Ksh250 000 (about R32 500) a month in Kenya from 2013, whereas their South African counterparts earned almost R62 000 per month.

Salaries for doctors in Nigeria — which is experiencing a large-scale exodus of doctors — are even lower.

Data from the National Salary, Income and Wages Commission in Nigeria shows that an entry-level doctor currently earns roughly NN1.8 million (about R22 000) per year, compared with someone in a similar post in South Africa getting more than three times that per month. In other words, South African medical officers earn 40.9 times more than Nigerian entry-level doctors (R900 000 vs R22 000 per year).

The health department says it has not yet looked at why SAMA claims doctors should earn more. But, says Foster Mohale, spokesperson for the department, they have "had meetings [with SAMA] and we are planning to review our salary scales".


SA DOCTORS' SALARY SCALES

Each post in which doctors work has different levels, with a specific basic salary linked to it. For example, an entry-level medical officer would be on a Grade 1 salary, which sits at just over 900 000 rands a year (75 million naira). A medical officer is a doctor who has completed their mandatory two-year internship and a year of community service and works at a public sector hospital.

After five years' experience in the position and depending on their performance, they can move on to a Grade 2 salary in that post, and earn a basic starting salary of just over R1 million (N83 million). Grade 3 medical officers earn between R1.2 million (N100 million) and R1.5 million (N125 million) a year.


CHALLENGES FACING SA DOCTORS

The SAMA-commissioned study suggests that money is a big issue. Like all other public servants, doctors get a salary increase every year, yet the study notes that doctors have felt "a significant erosion in income levels" over the past few years because of small increases, particularly, they say, considering "inflation as well as cost-of-living pressures".

Between 2013 and 2019, yearly increases were above inflation, but in 2020 the government implemented a salary freeze to keep its wage bill in check.

However, money isn't the only issue that stops doctors from working for the state. Long working hours because of too few personnel and safety concerns, both at urban and at rural facilities, were also mentioned as deterrents.

More than 70% of South Africans use government facilities, yet there's only about three doctors for every 10 000 patients in the public system. This means that the doctors who work in state hospitals have a heavy workload. A 2021 study showed that working almost 60 hours a week was common, contributing to more than 80% of these workers experiencing burnout. Burnout is job-related stress which can cause exhaustion and negative reactions to patients.

"Doctors in South Africa frequently contend with heavy workloads and long working hours … making maintaining a healthy work-life balance challenging," said Mzukwa.

Safety at state facilities is also a problem. Between 2017 and 2022, around 200 violent incidents at public hospitals were reported across four provinces — and that's only security issues that were big enough to get noticed.

In response to this week's budget announcements, SAMA says they hope enough funds will be put towards dealing with "the shortage of doctors in hospitals and the plight faced by medical practitioners where salaries have been eroded by inflation over the years".

All these comparison is nonsense,the varying exchange rates of the currencies of the various countries against the dollar makes the comparison misleading.just few months back naira was stronger than CFA,what about today?, effective or proper comparison can only be made amongst countries having currencies of same value like the euro member nations, anything outside of that is just an economic manipulative assertions just to deceive people n realize certain parochial objectives.

DiamondJLove:
I am in my late twenties. It seems strange that I have never visited an airport. Sometimes i feel ashamed and never talk about it with anybody.

I don't know if it's due to too much responsibilities on me. Who is in the same boat with me? How do you cope when people talk about visiting an airport? Do you pretend as if u have visited an airport? Do you say the truth and let people mock you?

what is special about visiting an airport?, everyone can't visit everywhere,there are people who have visited hydro power dams,paper producing mills, refineries, fertilizer production planets etc but hasn't been to an airport,are they in anyway inferior to anyone because they have not been to an airport?,some of you have very weak opinions n find it difficult to tell off rubbish firmly.

Alia is now talking too much n out of point too,no benue indigene no matter how mad would go to Niger to invite any herdsman home,Alia is highly respected for his good work n more that he is a prominent reverend father but he shouldn't play too much to the gallery, ordinarily it's expected that by now he should be putting pressure on the federal government of his party to implement the reformed agricultural strategies Tinubu promised to solve the herdsmen crisis n allow the poor benue refugees to set foot on their villages again n pick up the pieces of their shattered lives,Alia has so far failed woefully in this aspect but keep singing the praises of the military while nothing changes on the ground but the fulanis keep consolidating their grasp on the indigenous peoples lands,in most of guma LGA for instance, there are thousands of displaced people who have not been to their villages for more than thre years or more now,Alia should handle whatever problem he has within the APC as an internal party affair n stop equating it with the state but work very hard to fulfill his electoral promises to the hapless benue people.

There was revenue shortages under Buhari government leading to constant borrowing but ironically it seems the loans that we are paying now with crude oil has been looted under his government.

This is very wrong, Tinubu is only trying to win to himself some support by starting a very bad practice,such kind of honour should only be reserved for champions only especially in a single sport tournament,now every team that comes even third would be expecting to be treated the same way!,n they would be right,sports especially football is big business,yes reward for effort is good but it should done with caution,runners up in AFCON attract a reward of up to $4million,why not just take a little out of that money n compensate the players quietly instead of this bad precedence of an unnecessary jamboree especially in this hard time,no wahala let's wait for tomorrow when some other person's will come second !, anything Tinubu just get k leg!

Where are the palliatives that were promised after the thoughtless removal of fuel subsidies?

1. The N35k cash rewards to workers?

2. The CNG buses. N100 billion was said to have been earmarked for the purchase of CNG buses. Where are the buses, and where is the money?

3. The student loans that were expected to begin in January 2024, we are now in February, and students have yet to receive the loans.

4. N25k social safety net to be shared to 15 million households

5. What about the N75 billion earmarked for the strengthening of the manufacturing sector so as to increase its capacity to expand and create good-paying jobs between July 2023 and March 2024?

6. What about the N1 trillion saved from fuel subsidy removal, which was to be reinvested into the education sector and loans?

who says an Igbo man can't do the business of ranching. Must animal husbandry be the exclusive right of the northerners?

You missed the point,the post to which irrsponde made it look as if people must accept the presence of the fulanis within their lands to eat cow meat,I was only trying to point out how that line of thought was wrong,of course anyone or even the state government can establish n run animal husbandry business, it's the more reason why the fulanis even need to be wise not to loss out eventually, Nigeria is not even amongst the top 10 when it comes to cow business globally,so it's not a big deal.

Ah aah,must the fulanis stays in ones land before he can eat cow meat?,what kind of mentality is that,ok special land should be created for the Tiv yam farmers or Yoruba cocoa farmers etc then,the truth is the fulanis are people of the North,the federal government can assist the northern states above the Niger/benue to establish regulated ranches,as the business flourish other states would willingly accept it,but for now it should be a cautious approach, except if there's something else to it.

It baffles me that roads are a problem in this country,why can't the government just contract out the roads to reputable road contractors to maintain,toll the roads n pay taxes to government,the arrangements can include security provisions, this arrangement would create massive jobs, reduce check points, improve security, enhance rapid development,aid agriculture n massively boost revenue with government spending next to nothing, it's so simple but in Nigeria we like to make things simple things difficult out of sheer greed.

Nataliace:
I'm married for twelve years now and my marriage is blessed with two kids all boys, 11 and 9 respectively. Our marriage was also blessed with peace until I discovered my husband dates girls.

The one that pains me most is dating a neighbor who has been my enemy since we relocated to that settlement. My husband has side chicks too numerous to mention and I tried to talk to him but he refused. I left him and went back to my parents house thinking that will make him change and to come and apologize, to my greatest surprise he didn't make a move of putting things in order.

The worst is that the girl in the neighborhood is now living with him sleeping in our Matrimonial bed doing all the house chores and taking my children to school.

I came back and apologized to my husband but he said it's over between us. I love my husband so much that I can't afford to lose him. What should I have done? I expressed my grief of being hurt but it bounced back negatively.

Please advise me on how to restore my marriage.

Believe me, there's something about you that your husband doesn't like but he was just enduring it all the while, fortunately for him and unfortunately for you,you gave him the opportunity he needed to show himself,I know what it is but won't mention it here, it's an assignment for you to go find out n rectify the situation,let me give you a teaser,what do you think can make men to fight over an ugly woman?

The police were very right in arresting the complainant,his conduct was very suspicious,he should have personally ran back to the police if actually he truly escaped as he claimed rather he was seen on a "speeding"motorcycle n has to be stopped!, it's doubtful if it was truly a case of kidnapping or if the policemen are still alive,to me the police officers were attacked n likely killed,for the complainant who claimed to have been robbed by same people to be alive is questionable,the complainant must be properly interrogated.
