UK is US Lapdog, they dont have a voice of their own. They are follow-follow to whatever America does, their claim to super power just like is hiding behind US.
If US decides to bomb Libya UK will join as 'allies' while pretending to be pulling weight.
UK is an expired empire

NLC is not going to get their 30000 minnimum wage....because the government cannot afford it.

Oil yesterday was $62 per barrel. Yes, it is $2 dollars above the minimum set for budget...but it is still far less than our 2017 breakeven price of $140 per barrel.

The breakeven price of oil is the price we need oil to be to have enough revenue to fund a budget sans borrowing, sans deficit.

Since Bubu took over, oil has never been above $75 on average. So, essentially, we are earning at least $70 less than we need per barrel of oil in revenue.

And NLC now wants a salary increase.

The only way NLC gets an increase is either

1.Government cuts things like fuel subsidy, subsidy for educaiton, ...meaning that fees go up,and petrol retails for N250 per liter and above.

2.Government takes a loan to keep essential services running...while it redierects money to pay the wage from other ministries.

3.Yes, they need to cut their allowances. Yes, N1 trillion is a lot of money to spend on our National Assembly...and we need to cut it. But that means that things like constituency projects, etc as well as jobs (senators and reps employ people too) would have to be cut...and I doubt the money would be enough.

Yes, Buhari should have diversified. The problem is,

1.Agriculture has not earned enough cash for us since the early 1980's. To rebuild our capacity in agriculture is going to take time...plus we have very very stiff competition (The South East used to be world leaders in palm oil. Now ...it is Malaysia and Indonesia. Can the SE rebuild its capacity to what it was in the 1960's).

2.Mining too...needs a lot of regulation. There is so much illegality there that cleaning up the sector is going to take years.

The thing is, e no go easy to pay this minimum wage. I hear people shouting Governemt is corrupt...and yes, they are right. The current government is not exempt from corruption. But even if we removed corruption....giving everyone an increase is not going to help.

Add the fact that the increase is for government workers only. Meaning..the private sector is going to come under pressure to match the public sector...increasing costs for a sector that is already finding it hard in Nigeria.Meaning...long term..investments get pulled out...jobs get lost.

So,let's face facts Nigeria...this country is not rich...and we need to make the hard choices to adjust to that fact. If NLC expects govt to fund a salary raise with oil prices that are too low to fund it...then they better get ready for more loans, or cuts elsewhere.

Either Nigeria takes the hard road to industrial development, or we keep on with our silly sharing money economics that we have been doing since 1960. ...which is why we are still underdeveloped.

I don talk my own.

Blacksodje:
Is less than $100 to much to be paid to as Nigerian worker at the end of the month?

Why drag #3000 with NLC as if say una dey price tomatoes for mile12 market.

Honestly, it shall never be well with those supporting Buhari, never. Because it is clear enough that Buhari is useless, yet they still support him. I try to see if Buhari is beneficial/useful in anyway but I can't. He's an illiterate, he's tribalistic/nepotistic, he's wicked/evil, he's sentimental/biased. He doesn't even know his duties as a leader. He's just so useless. Yet people clearly support him. God forbid, I reject evil

Many of the retired Generals are ganging up against President Buhari, that he will not do eight years while they did more than eight years.

They can't be happy with Daddy, because it no no longer business as usual.

The below is one of the many advices one of the Generals gave us, we should take heed!

Stocking:

Will you even be allowed to ask other candidates questions during the debate?
What a useless reason .
I trust fl@thead ipobians to start jubilation because of this flimsy excuse .
This bastard is an opposition and he’s displaying so much pride .
The same person said in an interview that if they like let them vote for me . Just imagine the useless man .
It shall not be well with you Atiku and anyone supporting you .
Next level is certain

We understand but remember when u.s secretary of state visited buhari and jagaban. 2015
It's was clear that buhari is the next president.


This is the reply this time they invited the candidate of there choice to the State.

Is now clear that Atiku is their choice.
Take it or live it , they place our government to protect their interest.

Buhari is not communicating...

"The chamber is the largest lobbying group in the US, spending more money than any other lobbying organization on a yearly basis.

It has specific economic and political leanings, which plays major roles in elections in the United States and the creation of jobs in the world’s largest economy."

A very purposeful visit for better economy. Thank God it will end well

JusticeSeeker:
No wonder, this man hurriedly cleared Saraki of wrong doing when his cct judgement was brought to the Supreme Court because he knew he has a similar case.

SuperS1Panther:
CJN forgot to declare $700,000 and some funny people are still justifying it.

We should be ashamed of ourselves for losing complete sense of what is just and right.

No wonder Yahoo Boiz and Kidnappers and Exam Cheaters have taken over our nation.
