Politics / Re: Minimum Wage: Organised Labour Suspends Strike For 5 Days by DeOTR: 6:10pm On Jun 04 |
Obyangel:A couple with two children surviving on minimum wage? You can't comfortably raise kids on minimum wage, but if you do for any reason best known to you, you better be ready to get another source of income and not blame your employer if they decide not to give you a raise, or better still, get a better job. |

casualobserver:Ask most of them if they can pay their cleaners at least 150k as they want the minimum wage to be, it'll be another story. I've learned one thing in life: the best way to get a pay raise is to change your job. No profit oriented organization will wake up one morning and decide to double your salary. 1 Like |

Politics / Re: How much you think will be reasonable for NLC/TUC Accept as minimum wage? by DeOTR: 8:13am On Jun 04 |
There are a lot of things that the Labor unions should be fighting for. 400k+ might sound very unreasonable, but pegging the minimum wage as a percentage of the monthly salary of those never do wells in the national assembly is a welcome development. Let the minimum wage never be less than 10% of the total monthly package of any elected public office holder, that's when I'll know Labor unions know what they're doing. It's either the government bring down their bogus pay, or they increase worker's pay as requested. It's criminal for someone to be earning 18m monthly for a job most Nigerians can do. If the government wants the people to bear with the effects of their policies and reason with them, they must be seen to be doing the same thing. This is the right time to cut down all government expenses to the nearest minimum. I repeat, minimum wage should not just be a meaningless number. It should be a percentage of the pay for the political class. 3 Likes |

Politics / Re: Minimum Wage: FG, Labour Meeting Adjourned As Workers Rejects ₦54,000 Offer by DeOTR: 9:25am On May 22 |
Yadid:As it turns out, we are overpopulated beyond our our means. Or how do you explain the obvious fact that we can't even feed ourselves? Unemployment everywhere because our resources are overstretched. My Dad got his first job on the day of his graduation in the 70s. That was a time our national resources are proportional to our population. If you want to be honest with yourself, to raise for children averagely comfortably in Nigeria of today, you have to be earning nothing less half a million a month. While I think the FG should increase the minimum wage to about a hundred thousand or above, it is very important as citizens to do our own part. Uncontrolled explosion in population is already having its effect on us as a nation with the inherent unemployment, rising insecurity and hunger. We can't keep breeding like rats and hoping somehow money will fall from somewhere to take care of them. 3 Likes |

Chinjo2:This is the major problem. Why would anyone have up to 4 children in this modern era, especially in Africa where poverty is rife? I can't seem to understand. If you need to have children, it shouldn't be more than two max. You litter everywhere with children and never think of the consequences of taking care of them. 2 Likes |

This is bullshit if this is not applicable in private sectors. From my understanding, it is illegal to pay anyone below the minimum wage within the boundary of the country. How come do we still have many private organizations paying their workers (many of them, graduates) below this current minimum wage? 1 Like |

By the way, the Agbeyewa is just a part of the whole business. They have an existing business that's currently engaging more than 200 people in Nigeria alone. |

Politics / Re: 14 Years After Yar’adua’s Death: Nigeria Would’ve Been Much Better, Says Aide by DeOTR: 6:16pm On May 05 |
nairalanda1:You really have time to school people. Buhari would have been the best president we never had if Jonathan had won in 2015, but what do we get? A serious nation should know how to add values to their natural resources rather than selling it raw cheaply and buying it back more expensive after. Look at the mess we are in exporting crude oil and importing refined petroleum products? Yar Adua deepened petroleum subsidy and halted the privatization of our refineries when we should actually be gearing towards refining what we consume locally. Good things go bad slowly and bad things go worse in the same manner, but we only cry when things go completely bad. To me, Nigeria is pretty much the same as far back as I can remember. It's just that the revenue from oil that makes the difference now. 1 Like |
