In Victor AD's voice, let me ask Abia state people, " Suffer no dey tire you? E no dey tire you? "

If suffer no de tire them they won't fight and replaced ikpeazu.

Goodvibes007:
You say wetin?
Una just dey set yourself up.

We should leave tribe out of this and face reality.

All Nigerians are starving from north to south caused by tinubu who because of wanting to get power supported Buhari.... Both of them destroyed Nigeria

Tinubu is a cause to Nigeria.
He brought Buhari who caused soo much pain to Nigeria. Made foolish policy and printed and borrowed funds which his cronies looted
Now tinubu came in board to continue.


God will punish all this men that caused pain to Nigerians

Kobojunkie:
LOL... I see you are merely a joker! 😂😂😂😂

Your government officials padded their salaries over 300% and even NASS supposedly approved a new jet for the president but none of that has you screaming inflation and tearing at your hair. I have already tackled others offering up the same ridiculous fluff earlier, so I will leave them to maybe get you caught up.

If the last minimum wage increase of 30k that occurred in 2019 just less than 4 years can't sustain us then we will be in table again in 2028 to ask for 1 million wage increase.

It is now ur responsibility to ensure that credible people occupy position. Labour should use its power to ensure that INEC does the right thing.
Did labour go on strike when irregularities happened in last elections? Even we saw members of Labour union who got involved in writings elections result.

Kobojunkie:
Please stop arguing like a dingbat! Go back through my previous response which you conveniently ignored only to post what amounts to ramblings....

1. There has been no minimum wage increase in the last 4 years yet inflation still happened at a rate of over 30%. This means that whether you increase the minimum wage or not inflation can happen. So, are you saying then that this fear of having more inflation — seeing the already high inflation numbers go up —should be reason enough to subject over 160 million Nigerians to life in abject poverty...$20 per month when the minimum wage ought to be at least 68 dollars for meaningful existence?

Inflation as it stands today is not a result of Nigerians being paid more money but a result of recent APC policies many of which were implemented during this current administration. So, why should the fear of inflation be used as a weapon against Nigerians demanding better pay when inflation, as it stands, was not caused by the same receiving better pay? Why the nonsense scare tactics?

2. New wages have not been released in over 4 years yet inflation has climbed to over 35% with no end in sight. Prices of goods and services have risen over 400% at this point and it is expected to continue to rise. The new reality of things in Nigeria, a reality caused not by an increase in wages but by policies implemented by the government, is responsible for the high inflation rate and high cost of goods and services. So what is the reason behind this inane tactic of trying to pin inflation instead of an increase in wages?

3. Nonsense! Why are you asking these questions now when your elected offices who already padded their take-home pays without so much as a peep from you by the way — no rants about inflation or higher prices to be heard then— already assured you they are tackling those very same issues? Are you OK at all?

You through insult when I am giving you fact about how economy works.

If the last minimum wage increase of 30k that occurred in 2019 just less than 4 years can't sustain us then we will be in table again in 2028 to ask for 1 million wage increase.

As far as wages is increased and even now they demand over 400% it will accelerate more inflation .

Kobojunkie:
What has any of that to do with minimum wage Law for Pete's sake?

I said since productivity has not increase, money being pushed to the system will only ease pain for a little.

Just as the 30k increase didn't ease pain for long.

The lasting solution is when production increases in all aspects

Kobojunkie:
This one don completely exit issue and is now wrapping his confusion all over the place! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

So, minimum wage increase over time is to blame for it all? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Read again what I wrote above.

I talked about printing of money. Fuel import, waste in government. I talked about low productivity etc

Kobojunkie:
😂😂😂😂😂 Are you all reading from the same decrepit script or what? 😁😁😁😁😁

Minimum wage was about 10k when a bag of rice was 6k during Jonathan regime.
And soon it was increased to 30k.. Then gradually things went up to catch the new minimum wage. E.g a bag of rice went slowly to 10k then to 20k.

Labour has been fighting to increase it again for a while n now the latest inflationary pressure gives them the perfect opportunity for that.

Apart from wage increases, we have

deficit budget: tax revenue less than govt expenditure.. Government keep spending than it receives, pushing more money into the economy This has been happening through out Buhari tenure till date n it encourages inflation.


Interest rate policy: cbn maintain an interest rate of about 13 to 11% from 2019 to 2023 this made money available in the system until now they hike it to 26% to retrieve money from the system

Printing of money to pay salary, fund project et.


Bottom line is.. Any time money is pushed into the system expect rise in prices.... Since productivity hasn't increased prices will soar..

Lastly paying more money without increasing bag of rice in market will only led to people wanting to spend more money to buy same quantity of rice

You can never cook money rather u use it to buy food in the market.. It's time we start looking at what can be done to increase productivity, stop fuel import, stop waste In government only then we shall have lasting value for wage increases

Kobojunkie:
...They say necessity is the mother of invention. Private employers will find a way to survive this push.
▶ Any amount less than $64.5 or Naira 94,893.69 is extreme poverty and should not even be considered of worth.
▶ Any amount less than $68 or Naira 102000, which is the former minimum wage adjusted for the approximate 340% depreciation of Naira since February 2023 (Note: the Naira30,000 minimum wage was worth $83 when it was enacted back in 2019), is pretty much not a raise but adjustment to match the value of the current minimum wage right about the time before the current administration took office. I suspect the recent increase of 300% for the Judiciary was such an adjustment made against the Naira depreciation level. Naira 124,000 or $83 really should be where Labor begins its negotiating for a raise from.
▶ At the federal level though, anything less than N250,000 should be rejected by federal workers. Given the padding senior workers at the federal level freely give themselves, I see no reason why some of that extra padding should not work its way down and across the board to other Federal workers.

. Is about how sustainable it will be.

Increasing wage rate when productivity has not increased calls for inflation.
When u increase wage rate you look at the GDP and to what percentage of GDP.

If private sector struggles to pay, then the price of egg will increase, the price bank charges for account maintenance will increase, the price of school fees will increase, the price of transportation will increase. Price of rice might increase gradually to 150k, food stuff will increase

All this won't happen overnight but gradually then in 10 years we will be at the table to talk about this unfortunately situation.

The question now is :
How can we improve crop yield.
How do we stop fuel importation to crash petrol price down.
When will farmers go to farm safe.
And manyore.

But we keep electing unfortunate leaders who messes the country up

slivertongue:
the NASS should also collect 62k

What do u mean. The minimum wage 60k is the minimum anyone employed can receive the it will be adjusted based on level of employment and position..

The question now is that can you as Private employer agree to pay ur employees 60k

PHAYOL81:
Another 3.5km yet the indigenes would hype him as outperforming those delivering quality road infrastructure in double digits, at least. Sometimes you wonder how some people reason.

What do u mean?
The road is 3.5km. It's a minor road that connects owrrrinta from osisioma.

confusedlady:
Oga,
Come back here....I don't need to do any goggle search on this issue because my memory is intact....I don't think I can say the same about yours....lol

The task before you is simple since you are lying that Orji Kalu has contested for the presidency severally....GIVE ME THE DATE OF THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION WHERE ORJI UZOR KALU'S NAME APPEARED ON THE INEC BALLOT AS THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE OF A REGISTERED POLITICAL PARTY.....I am waiting......

You probably think you are having a conversation with your fellow mindless Obidient/IPOB/Biafra groups.....
We are here to expose your LIES and UNTRUTHS on this forum........lol😆

He contested once in 2007 general election as a president I think under the party that brought ohakim and TA orji into power (PPA)

Built in 2024, Co||apsed in 2024, Ukanwa raises alarm of fa!led road project in Abia State

The collapsed Alayi to Ezeukwu road and bridge that are less than six months after construction will be useful to researchers doing comparative study of projects constructed for the purposes of rendering genuine service to the people and projects constructed for campaign purposes heading towards general election.

Unfortunately Alayi to Ezeukwu road in Bende L.G.A of Abia state is a victim of the later purpose.

The contractor rap£d the road instead of constructing it.

#Justice for Alayi/ Ezeukwu road and bridge.

By Ukanwa Ogbajie

Eziukwu bridge was built by His Excellency Dr. Senator Uzor Kalu - 29/01/2024

You hardly hear of people in Canada, US, Australia, France etc complaining about hard life. It's always the UK brethren.

That's to tell u that side no easy.
Colonial master too get brain

[right][/right]

RodgersAkpafu:
I'm just saying that selling all your stuff for sturdy visa is ONE way to move
there are many many other ways to move, but our ppl always go for the low hanging fruit

Going via which means?
Because you listed one and it was 1million dollars requirement and anyone that has such money won't be fighting hard to get visa and settlement permit in most developed countries.

If u know when men don de apply for visa.. USA, Canada Australia etc

Angelfrost:
Brother, I don’t disagree with you that life abroad is not a bed of roses.

There is a price for living in a developed and flourishing nation... You have to put in the shift, you have to grind!


That's why you count your costs and prepare well before boarding that plane! No one is there waiting to fund your lifestyle.

That doesn't make it bad! Matter of fact, it simply creates more responsible citizens who live within their means.

The way Nigerians are shouting Japa Japa Japa and people are selling their stuff they got in years only to come here again struggling to start afresh and mostly stuck after exhausting everything

Even the citizens would have been feeling the heat if not benefit payment they get from government.

RodgersAkpafu:
Those who used canada express entry are already sure of their residency....

Those who used investment pathway to move to America are already settled
I wonder where these men saw over $1.2 million to process EB 5 green cards for America
Anyways they are bank men sha so maybe they have their ways

it's not everyone that is selling stuff and using student route (lazy man route for family men)

nonetheless I always encourage ppl to find proper ways to move

The way u talk i wonder.. investment pathway how many Nigerians have 1 million dollars in account. Do u have it?

RodgersAkpafu:
why will anyone have high expectations when leaving Nigerian?

jaapa is for those coming after us
it's not even about us
it's for the descendants

You sold your house, sold your investment and savings used everything to land and now start afresh.

Even the afresh is subject to emigration rules as you have to still try to fight to get a stay.
Mind this is a rat race that has been set up to allow very few people stay back and what gives u hope that u will 100% certain to stay back that gives u the moral to sell your investment

cococandy:
What plan do you have to get yourself out of that situation?

You have to be strategic. You obviously didn’t migrate to stand in the cold 12 hours a day for the rest of your life. But nothing will be handed to you.

So have to make the opportunity for yourself and seize it

You keep applying for jobs and what u get is unfortunately and you can't convert money to pay rent here. I did that for 4 months no be person tell me to leave IT job hunting to grab the one I see

poseidon12:
So you are not aware that some people are going through land like Libya via boat?

Those ones I don't know what to classify them.

Don't ever think of that and it should be out of this discussion

Angelfrost:
How many Nigerians are truly living fulfilled lives in Nigeria?!!

Over 60 Million Nigerians are either poor or one paycheck away from poverty!

Do you know what that means?!!

The only reason why many of you think Nigeria is favorable is because we literally operate a subsidised welfarist system that is not practical or tenable in a properly developed country.

I speak from experience. Last week we had to contribute money to someon who sold everything and got here.
Children no food, house rent etc no de.

This is someone in a managerial position back in Nigeria. He has developed high blood pressure.

The hurrible shift jobs I do, I won't do that in Nigeria. But we have to encourage our self and move on.

Let me break it down to u... Can u stand 12hours cleaning with just 15 minutes break all night. Or all day. That's you won't sit down. Sitting down your supervisor will report as u are unfit for the job. And this job no de come always


See Japa no easy oh

As I de type now I de go shift go work under cold and will do the job. Standing all through under minus degree.

For old men they should consider their age as oyibo no send u

mrvitalis:
Can 100% of minimum wage get you a decent apartment in Nigeria? Can it?

Anyone earning minimum wage can't foot the bill of Japa. So let's take minimum wage story away.

Those that are miragrating (Japa) are the well to do and it cost millions and this people leave their jobs, sold houses etc and left when they get here depression set in as expectations are not achieved.

mrvitalis:
What the hell are you talking about ... When people without basic knowledge talk u just know

Someone in the UK who earns minimum wage and work 40 hours a week would live a betterore quality life that someone earning 10 timed minimum wage in nigeria

Don't even want to mention US or Austria or Germany

One hour wage can buy food stuff than can feed you for two days

While food might be cheap rent are not cheap.
Infact you spend like 50% of your income on rent and bills alone every month.

Secondly not every one that Japa gets job most stay months with no jobs then how will the bill be paid

Adecity20:
I got the offer by applying to a program offered by the UK government. I was interviewed and given tests which I passed. Thanks for the advice

Okay. You can sell a land and or ask family members for assistance as they will be in better position to assist in raising funds.

Good luck

Oshiomhole that was tackling GEJ, okonjo iweala then about excess crude oil account.

Has not made any statement about hunger in the land or the already depleted reserve

Adecity20:
Hello guys, I was given a sponsorship award to study in the UK, the award covers the full tuition and living expenses . I was also promised by the government to be employed after the course in the UK. I am also eligible to add dependant but I'm single.
After reading the warnings about the issues Nigerian students are going through in the UK at the moment is it advisable to go to the UK, it's the biggest opportunity I have recieved.

My current financial situation is such that I don't even have the Visa fees and NHS fees due to exchange rate, can anyone advice or assist me.

.

How did u get this deal?

My brother u have no problem. U mentioned ur tuition fee is covered and not only that u mentioned about living expenses also covered .. Please look for money and borrow or if its to sell land u do. Okay

What I have been warning is about selling ur properties, borrowing etc then come without still covering ur school fees and and u hope to work and pay. Which is not feasible anymore.. Then at the end the school send u home. So many people are in this dilemma right now.

So once ur fees is covered abeg de come

MatrixCircle:
That was referring to people who have successfully completed their Masters and are on 2 years post study . This 2 years post study is enough to navigate to Europe, U.S or Canada or better still PhD in UK.
Remember the Post study BRP can take enable you to easily secure visa and entry to Europe, U.S and Canada at will.
So depending on each person's ability. UK na stepping stone for those that have successfully graduated.

Yes a cool stepping stone. Especially for those not yet married as they can navigate and explore those countries..
Also you can build your travel history easier.

The only issue is if you don't have your fees then one risk his or her entire struggle... God forbid.

Damilare5882:
You go dey alright.

That's my school.. I narrowedly escape this cos at this time by portal was locked for almost 3 months.

As you can see, it was posted in school WhatsApp so I privately asked the person if it's another school or mine... I was told it was mine.

So no one is passing bad energy here. Lot of people has been sent home already by my school.

I understand how you feel about it but it's just the reality to happenings. BBC and rest news are reporting it. If this trend of Nigeria not being able to foot their bills then I see ukvi making sure that anyone coming will keep his money in escrow account just as Germany does
