■ He removed subsidy that all former presidents are afraid of doing because of fair of the oil cabals and it's effects on economy.
■ He floated the naira and allow our naira to take its original position since we don't produce anything.
■ He allowed nigerians to know that we have been leaving a fake economic life.
■ Nigerians heavy complains shows that. Now the cabals on oil and forex didn't find it easy. But surely, Nigerians will soon get over it.

■ Be reasonable and read widely. The Russian President has planes dating back to 2005 among his fleet and as latest as 2016. He’s planes are updated and well protected on air when he’s flying. The same goes for the American President. Those are the two most powerful Presidents in the planet.
What will happen if your President planes are updated and properly fitted? Or you think that a your APC government is looking for a Gulf Stream on $4m? BAT promised to cut down on costs and get look at his government with so much wastage. Are you not ashamed of the situation that your APC has put the country into? Should the first things not be dealing with insecurity and ensuring food sufficiency for the citizens? If all the resources wasted to give your APC leaders luxurious lives are spent fixing those two, would people lament of hunger?

He meant they should sacrifice their lives since he refuses still to grant them a non-slave wage while he gets himself a new jet; he is expecting them to somehow survive on less than $20 a month. Sort of reminds me of his days as governor in Lagos state. undecided

The current air force 1 is 32 years old. The current jet was bought by Obasanjo fairly new. It is a 737. Take it back to Boeing or Ethiopian or South Africa and you will have a jet you can use for.the next 10 years without any issues. The 2nd one is a assault 7x. This is a fairly modern aircraft. With top class maintainable, you can use these jets for thee next 10 years. Arnold's Scwarzeneggers pj is 40 years. And isI extremely good shape. This is just another waste of funds.

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
Please stop arguing like a dingbat! angryGo 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? undecided

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? undecided

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? undecided

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? undecided

■ 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. 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

3. Your number 3 question is hilarious. You asked "What law is there that mandates a wife serve as a source of positive encouragement, even to Job?" What exactly is the function of a good woman, or you as a wife to your husband? Is it your function to tell your husband to go and die grin
1. Numbers 12 vs 1 - 6 reveals that God took it personally when the people murmured against Moses. undecided

2. Job's wife was not the God of Israel. She was just a human being who made a claim. Her claim cannot change the fact that God of Isreal never said that any one who cursed Him would die an instant death. So, I am not certain what you are trying to argue here. undecided

3. A "good" woman? By what standard is this woman defined as a good woman? A man and woman are only bound together in marriage by the agreement between them so... Scripture has nothing to do with that. undecided

■ 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.

Like I said, you can do that for yourself but not everyone is that stewpid when the Law clearly says what they ought to get by right. undecided
My employer is not paying me the minimum wage. What should I do?
The federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour. Some states have their own minimum wages rates. If the state minimum wage rate is higher, then the state law applies. For more information, see our site's minimum wage page.
Minimum wage violations are a significant issue, especially among low-wage workers. Analysis of survey data in 2017 revealed that in the 10 most populous U.S. states, 2.4 million workers lose $8 billion annually to minimum wage violations. This means that year-round workers lose an average of $3,300 per year, which is nearly a quarter of their total earned wages. While minimum wage violations affect workers in all demographic categories, 17% of low-wage workers are the target of minimum wage violations.
The federal minimum wage is enforced by the Wage-Hour Division of the U.S. Department of Labor. In states that have their own minimum wage law (or if you are not covered by the federal law), you should contact the agency in your state which handles wage and hour/labor standards violations, listed on our site's state government agencies page.
Even here in the U.S, where the system works a lot better than you can speak of in Nigeria, employees know that it is their civic duty to report to the right department when their right to pay is not respected. So, make you siddon for there dey wait say because law day, na magic go make am reach you. undecided

1. What does the Law say they should do? They say necessity is the mother of invention. Private employers will find a way to survive this push. undecided
The Minimum Wage Act was enacted in 2019 and is dated 26th March 2019
According to the Act, certain categories of workers are exempted from receiving the NMW as their monthly salary. Section 4 of the Act, states that the Act does not apply to workers who work on;
● part time basis
● commission or piece – rate
● establishments employing less than 25 persons
● workers in seasonal employment like agriculture; and,
● any person employed in a vessel or aircraft to which laws regulating merchant shipping or civil aviation apply.

These categories of workers are specifically exempted from the application of the national minimum monthly wage and employers can pay them an otherwise agreed sum for their wages.
2. That is for you to question your government who is in charge of law enforcement. If you are sick and tired of your government not enforcing its own laws, then you know what your duty is as a citizen, right? undecided

These "issues" are non-issues really since they have not stopped and will not stop the same government from enacting new laws. Your duty as a citizen is to make sure that laws are in your collective favor and also push to ensure they are enforced so that you benefit from them when it comes your turn to. undecided

▶ 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.
What is a poverty line?
A poverty line, also called a poverty threshold, is a set amount of income below which it becomes difficult, if not impossible, for people to afford essentials like food and shelter. Each country determines its poverty line by calculating the cost of meeting minimum needs. Households with incomes below this line are considered to be living in poverty.
The international poverty line serves as a standard for measuring extreme global poverty and was recently adjusted to $2.15 a day to reflect the rising cost of necessities and adjust for inflation. Since 1990, it has increased from $1 to $2.15, reflecting the rising cost of living.
