Like I've been saying, buck of the problem is from our states, but many of you will like to disagree

I hate dogs, especially these modified wild beasts.
This is how he'll be yelling crusher the day the dog will attack one of his kids and the dog won't let go.

Very deadly. You can see someone just 2 hours ago and he's dead of cholera just within then and now.

Ebigwei007:
now that he has gotten it, then what has he done with the power?

Contest for the position. Let's see what you can do.
People that can't successfully lead a team of 5 people are also disparaging the president of a nation of 200 million people.
Please I don't have time joining issue with someone who thinks only old people fall.

Ebigwei007:
lolz, its ur foolishness that is making you feel that an old man who should be resting with his great grand children at home, your foolishness is what is making you nt reasoning like someone who have brain. Have you forgotten that they were young when they became what they were? Please relax and enjoy what the cry of the people will do to that old man that fell.

When you get to that age, you can decide to forgo your unfulfilled ambitions for a care giver job. It's your choice.

DaddyCoool:
You know, this demonstrates why a native speaker of a language is still a native speaker. This was written by a native speaker. People like you and Akpabio only know basic English. It takes massive familiarity with a language to grasp poetic and other aspects of it.
Chinua or Wole will immediately see that Akpabio just exposed his lack of thorough familiarity with English language

And you're sure the NOA version is the certified true copies from the Lady who composed it?
Just read the NOA version and tell me what is correct about those phrases.
No native speaker will speak such grammar in 2024.

SpecialAdviser:
In a capitalist economy, the government creates avenue for healthy competition that will cause the price of goods to come down. Oga this is not the only government in Nigeria history. Ur president can ask others how they achieved it. I don't have energy for all these

The last I checked, Nigerians have always complained about their government since 1960.
Don't assume you're talking to a kid here.
Mention one regime during which there was no increase in the price of commodities.

Ebigwei007:
you might nt get up to my age

But you pray to get to Tinubu age?
Can you now see the foolishness in your reasoning?
I don't even know how someone falling has now become a point of discussion.
Like, can you even walk and never fall at least once in a year?

DaddyCoool:
What this underlines is that Mr Apkabio is NOT good at English - hence his almost illiterate grammatical explanations.
NOA version is better and grammatically more correct

No, it shows you don't know basic English.

bentenny:
This is the problem I have with your likes!
You react without thinking thereby spewing rubbish!

So because GEJ who was from the SS didn't do much to ensure resource control hence other president s won't do the same?

This is the kind of myopic mentality that will keep making our leaders take us for a ride!

Don't you know that when there is resource control,the pressure will leave the president and everyone will focus on their governors forcing them to be accountable to their people!

With the spotlight positioned on the governors,they will be condemned to not only be accountable for the humongous funds from their natural resources but will ensure that they work hard enough to justify their stay or they get butted out!

As long as we keep practicing this terrible feeding bottle policy of FG sharing faac allocations to states and LGAs,the governors will not be accountable and FG or president will keep getting the blame!

Please try to make sense when quoting me. Resource control or not, it shouldn't stop the governors from being responsible and alive to their duties.
I pointed out how these governors are hiding behind our tendencies to blame only the federal government, you said we should go full resource control.
Maybe you've not seen the case filed by the federal government against State government as regards local government autonomy and guess who are the ones against it.
Just wait until we achieve full resource control first before you know your rights in your state.

1000Capacity:
Beans Is not 2500 anymore o. I went to buy yesterday, I couldn't afford it

It's even 2400 in Abuja.
You people should try to farm abeg. Foods don't fall from the sky.
As long as we see farming as primitive job, we'll continue to complain of food prices.
"A nation that can't feed herself will become subservient to others" - Beautiful Nubia.

SpecialAdviser:
Oga start the business and sell cheaper. This is a capitalist economy. Stop blaming innocent traders

So what's the sense in creating this thread then?
Is it fair to blame the president for prices in a capitalist economy?
I don't even know how it should be the president's fault if the price of beans goes up. Like, is the government now selling beans?

Wike is really trying in the FCT. Notable is the infamous Apo roundabout that has incompleted for as long as I can remember. Just one year in office, go check the place now.
Northerners should be banned from becoming FCT ministers for life. They do nothing but loot and install Fulani Sarkis parallel to the Gbaghi Etsus.

Make dem just ask the Court to scrap Local governments since they've been rendered useless.

allthingsgood:
i can promise you that this is another BIG LIE and PROPAGANDA from IDF to justify their mass murders. Trying to discredit the journalist who obviously had indicting evidence against IDF.

This report is a lie, but we should believe Hamas terrorists that there's a genocide going on in Gaza by IDF?
Just dey whine yourself.

bentenny:
The president should remove resource control,internal security and seaport from the exclusive list just the same way Buhari did with electricity and watch everyone focus on governors!
The president has no business with whatever is happening in a particular state unless there is a threat of national security by terrorists!
If the president can ensure the speedy passage of an inconsequential anthem,then this should not be a problem for him!

If it's that easy to remove resource control as you've make it to appear, Former President Jonathan from the SS would have done it within the 6 years he graced the seat.
We know it's this same governors that won't let the local governments breathe, but we should all blame the president for everything.
Continue to wait until full resource control before you hold your governors accountable. I've never seen seen where someone not faithful with little will be able to do so if given more. They've been collecting more allocations since last year, let them at least show us what they've been doing with it.

It's as simple as that. Governors are the most useless set of people we have in this country.
Their contributions to where we found ourselves today is more than we can ever imagine.
We would have been halfway there if these people are doing their jobs, but since they know everyone blames the Federal government and the President for everything, they get away with incompetence.

Another free ride for the Lagos City Boy.

50k in the 70s is a joke to you right?
Permanent secretaries in my state earned 12k monthly in 1978.
Too many Gen-Zs on nairaland.

casualobserver:
The bold sums it up

Agree on all counts.

When I first got to england despite being a graduate, I had 2 full time minimum wage jobs as a security guard and at macdonalds. After finishing 12 hours of standing, I will go and do macdonalds where there is not a second of rest. I did what I had to do to improve myself. In Nigeria, you are a minimum wage worker you earn 30k or less and you have time to go to church for overnight vigil and revival?

We are not serious

People would rather pray hoping for miracle on issues they have control over.

triplechoice:
You're as ignorant as the person you replied.

We have employers of labour who use their workers to make excessive profits and still pay them less. Is that not true?

For instance, there are teachers in private schools in Nigeria teaching more than two or three subjects, which is not supposed to be,yet they're are paid peanuts despite the large students population and exorbitant school fees that they charge.

Yes, that's happening with nobody to check them.

Both of you are quick to judge others because you're very shallow in your thinking..

So how's this minimum wage increase supposed to force those organizations to pay?
You should ask yourself if they've complied with the current wage before thinking of the new one. Is the labour union even concerned about enforcing the minimum for private organizations to start with?
You probably don't know what you're talking about.

casualobserver:
The annoying thing is these people mostly are unskilled and have a bad attitude and poor work ethic. You would think that common sense would tell them that the best way to get a salary increase is to work so hard to get noticed and make themselves indispensable.

Very annoying. It's because it's very convenient to be lazy.
I don't rate any public servant, including their counterparts, the political office holders.

Obyangel:
What will you call a couple with two children?

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:
I didn’t read all you wrote but let me tell you a basic principle in emplotlyer employee relations. If you feel your employer is exploiting you, you are free to quit and find another job. It is not slavery, it is not forced Labour. You likely can only get what you get because that is what your productivity and skill set (or lack there of) is worth in the open market.


Like I said you are free to quit. You have a sense of entitlement. Nobody owes you a job or 3 square meals, you earn it by the value of your work. If 30k is all anyone is prepared to pay you, then get a second job. Or go and work for your father’s company where you can be idle all day and get a salary that is comfortable.

I have repeated this many times: the reason why most employers are only willing to pay minimum wage workers earn so little is 1) they are unproductive…you need 3,4,5 to do the job of 1 person so the salary that should go to 1 person is shared amongst them.

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.

Obyangel:
NLC and TUC with others are very useless and stupid, what did they achieve?

Let the strike continue, until workers have a better pay.

What can 60k-70k buy for a family of four?

Paint of garri is 4200, rice is 79k-87k and useless labour called off the strike!!!

Na suffer head go kill workers last last, and you dream of crime and corrupt free country with slave pay.

Minimum wagers have no business having family of 4 please. We should be reasonable in this country abeg.

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.

Juoflife1:
I wish they can get private schools to join this strike. All their children are in private schools.
Banks, fuel stations, all airports. Let there be a total shut down.

Most private schools that are very notorious for paying teachers lower than the minimum wage?
All of you will learn the hard way.

This shutdown will worsen the already bad situation.
There are better ways to achieve your aims.

How can he even do that when Buhari and his cabals don't want him to succeed?
The people who think otherwise most certainly don't know what they're doing.

yungpowers:
That stops nothing, obj was a military governor and a civilian governor too

God!!! What kinda fuckery is this?
Obj, civilian governor? When?
Did Obj became governor after he served as President?
Why would anyone stoop low the level of a regional position after being the President of the whole country?
You guys should be reasonable abeg. Aha!

Africa and long queues.
As it is with this large turnou, I think the incumbent didn't do particularly well.

I don't know about other places, but light has been very stable here in the last one month
