Well, if subsides work, they would have let our power sector and refineries work, won't they.

Obvoiusly they are not working.

Also, subsides fuel corruption...because they involve something called free money.




They do production subsides, not price controls, and pay subsidy to cover the resulting loss (which we do here, and said subsidy does not cover the losses resultant).






Yes, because when you run an government whose sources of revenue are from what raw material we sell, and with a mandate to 'share the revenue' corruption naturally results. Because he or she who is closer to the sharing will benefit more than end user.

Whereas if most of our income was from taxes...people would be incentivsed to keep an eye on how their money is spent, and the government won't do wuru wuru...because any stepping out of line, and kasala go burst for their head.

Allowing a free market provides the disposable income for things like taxes to be paid.




Well, some churchpeople do so, some do not. Don't tar everyone with the same brush.

If you read the last part i said the church has not been very vocal, that statement did not connote everybody, it means some have been but a greater majority are not, so i didn't paint everyone with the same brush. I agree with most of your points raised, but the crux of the matter is no matter the name we give it, the US still subsidizes her economy and grandscale corruption is the bane of this country

nairalanda1:
Well, the USSR abolished the churches and still collapsed because at the end of the day, they tried to run an economy based on the government setting prices for everyone, and trying to make everyone earn the same...and it ruined their economy...because long story short...people love to make money.

All the communist countries did what you wanted and still collapsed because at the end, if your economy is not run on profit making, but on price controls and subsides, you will run out of money, and you will fail.

The communist countries that survive did so because they in essence accepted that they needed to free the market.

NIgeria is in a mess because we do too many subsides, and too much welfare. And it is reaching a point where it is costing far more than we earn to maintain it. Plus, such things end up being niduses of corruption and looting. Either way the result is a ruined economy.

The only reason why we are not at USSR level? We allow some free market.

The problem with Nigeria is wide scale corruption, and not too many subsidies. Even in the so called US that is an epitome of free market, they still doll out subsidies. Our problem in this country is monumental corruption from the highest office in the land to the lowest office in the landm everybody is busy stealing. My only annoyance with the church is that it has not been very vocal in condeming the wide spread corruption in this country. Rather they have been hobnobbing with the political class stealing us blind, by giving them recognition instead of ostracizing them. They preach to masses to endure pain and suffering that it is from the LORD, instead of holding their kleptomaniac political leaders accountable.

how much is the p37 pro

nice one there. the place is indeed a beautiful sight to behold. my prayer is that it is well maintained

pls they shoukd not sell it to nigerian investors o. they should rather sell it to foreign investors who have huge resources to invest and uograde where necessary, nigerian investors in the power sector are vampires

better sell it off, and unbundle NNPC.

it therefore means payment will spill over into next month

e mean say na next week things o

toivar:
Good idea and that will work out when we all do it in unison cos the unions leaders are pretending as if they don't know that there is anything like minimum wage. God will judge our leaders.

i'm just appalled by the total silence from them. when others have already enjoy their minimum wage arrears. Fg just keep promising every month, and each month they shift it to the next and so on.

toivar:
I agree with you but how do we do that? Cos it seems as no one is talking fg is quiet also. As for the union leaders especially SSANU, they are good for nothing.

we should start troubling our various chapter unions

i think we should start agitating for minimum wag pe arrears

a time will come when garba shehu will be stoned

corruption is systematically endemic in this country. Our citadel of learning is a bastion of corruption. This country get as e be

the only way forward is to make prepare meter available for all. anybody caught by passing should be severly dealt with

long over due. but the question is who will bell the cat

hmmm. i'm surprised they are paying federal tertiary institution now, i was beginning to think the new norm is paying every new month. And now my question is
Do IPPIS pay during the weekends?

bnbash:
Alert confirmed. Fed tertiary institution

serious? which institution?

i think if power comes back to the south it will be the south south not southwest or south east. And amaechi seems poised for it

so can't amaechi be the flag bearer for APC. Must it be yoruba?

the only way i can vote APC for presidency is if osinbajo or amaechi is the flag bearer. anything other than that is PDP all the way. infact is ameachi ahead of osinbajo

Core8ride:
Long sold but I have another one same color but black interior. Very clean as well.

price?

IPPIS has been a nightmare

toivar:
No it's not been added cos once it's added a few days later they will pay the arrears. OR they will pay the arrears and some days later, u will see an increase in the your pay for that month. What I am sure of now is that minimum wage arrears is some days away cos there has been a stability in the particular days of payment. For example, NBTI have been constantly paid on the 26th for past few months this is a pointer to stability in IPPIS system. And they is usually preceded by thebnew minimum wage arrears. This has been confirmed by even people that have got the minimum wage arrears is past from those in Federal govemnet colleges to those in Federal health institutions. So I guess federal tertiary institutions are days ahead of celebration

i thought IPPIS claimed they have paid tertiary institution their minimum wage right from the day they started paying tertiary institution. The only thing they admitted not yet paid is the arrears, which they have promised to pay as soon as salary is stabilized. so i'm surprised at your assertion, that they are yet to pay tertiary institution minimum wage. As it is, based on projection the minimum wage arrears will span from April last year to January this year. Since IPPIS started in February this year

*EXTRACTS FROM REPORT OF THE ZONALCOORDINATORS MEETING WITH THE NATIONAL EXECUTIVES*

Dear esteemed comrades, Find below extracts from the reports of the interaction of ZCs with the National Executives:
At Abuja on Thursday 23rd July, NAAT EXCOS and ZCs after their internal meetings for two days met the IPPIS director and the SALARIES AND WAGES COMMISSION office on sundry issues.
Below are some of the fallout from the meeting:
INCLUSION OF EAs INTO OUR SALARIES:

*That IPPIS is favourably disposed to include the OHA in our salary but other EAs were adjudged to be the responsibility of each Universities governing council.

NHF : That this is a statutory deductions and there's nothing the Union could do about it. The president informed that he has met with the director of NHF and he advised that every members as a matter of urgency should go online and download FORM 2 and fill, then take the form to Any mortgage bank in the state and open account, it is this account that the monthly deductions would be remitted failure to do so would amount to forfeiting all the deductions at retirement. And to those that already have account with mortgage bank, they should go online and download the UPGRADE FORM and fill then take it to the mortgage bank in the state. MINIMUM WAGE ARREARS:
The President informed that arrangements have been concluded to pay this month. He said the payment will be done separately. It's either we receive the alert before July salary or shortly after the payment of July salary.-PRO

Copied.

what is the amount agreed upon on OHA?

is it still available?

the last salary was 4th of june. hopefully this month own will be the same o

Rahym001:

senatordave1:
Well,we don't know yet but I feel prof offiong will be a better vc.

unfortunately, the powers that be wants Ayara, even though Offiong is better.

senatordave1:
You are right.I just found out that he recently made ayara dvc just like zanna was made dvc before he became vc.prof ayara is also a member of the governing council which is very crucial.unfortunately,offiong doesn't have federal or apc links.
What zanna doesn't know is that prof ayara despises him and will immediately undo all he has put in place in unical.

If prof Ayara will toe that line that will be great.
