This is pure ocular albinism...

Does that mean his vision is somewhat impaired as a result?

Joagbaje:
■ Because in that chapter Jesus was answering a Jewish question after he prophesied about the destruction of the temple . During the tribulation the Jews who would have embraced the antichrist as messiah previously would now reject him after he proclaim himself to be God....
At that point of the Jews rejecting the antichrist as messiah he will cause great persecution will rise against the Jews . And they also would be looking for their messiah to come back its at that time several false prophets will show us as the Jewish messiah...
■ Kindly give example of the false christs who came
■ Partially true . He brought the New Testament but he also gave gifts to men. And among the gifts is the p;rophetic office

Jesus Christ did not speak of the false prophets only in the context of the last days of God's Judgement against the Nation of Israel mentioned in Matthew 24 & Mark 13 & Luke 21. Rather, Jesus Christ spoke against false prophets and false teachers in the context that is the Kingdom of God, a Kingdom that came during the last days.

2. False Christ? I am speaking of false Prophets and false Teachers, those who come using the name of Jesus Christ to claim they were sent as prophets and teachers in His name. All those who come teaching doctrines and traditions that are not of the same teachings and commandments that Jesus Christ taught to His very disciples are all false Prophets and false Teachers.

3. The only gifts that Jesus Christ gave to men are those listed in Mark 16 vs 15 - 19 and those He gave to all of those who believe in Him meaning every single person who belongs to Jesus Christ would have those signs following him or her. Jesus Christ never gave anyone prophetic office as you claim. Prophets were instituted by God of Israel in the Old Law of Moses and Jesus Christ never said they were part of His Kingdom. As explained by Jesus Christ in the parable I posted a reference to earlier in Matthew 21, Jesus Christ, the Son, was the last Prophet that was sent by the Father before He came back and judged the farmers to whom He gave His vineyard to(the last days of God's Judgement against the nation of Israel(Judah) in the land of Canaan).

I said the states will decide what they will pay. Rivers is proposing 80k while Lagos is 70k, Edo 75k etc. Let them deicide

Zamfara decided to pay 18K($12 a month) where the international poverty line is set at $2.15 a day so we should let them pay people just $12 a month? Again, read the page you referenced. States are not to choose for themselves unless they intend to pay more than the Federal minimum wage.

■ You can say whatever you like to Adeboye, but do not blaspheme against the name of Christ.

Abeg get away with that nonsense! Wetin concern Jesus Christ with your Adeboye and those he dines with?

RealityKings:
■ Well that scenario if you read it well was a rebellion against Moses and not God himself. They chose to worship God directly without Moses as the spiritual head. These scene is entirely a different scenario from Job and His wife issue.
■ Job's wife knew of his husband cause God, he is expected to be stike to death. One may say maybe the wife felt the husband was going through a very difficult pain that he may not come out from. So it's best he enjoys a mercy killing.
■ Even at that, she wasn't supposed to make the husband lose hope. She was supposed to be a source of positive encouragement to Job.
■ Rather she chose to be a Satan's advocate

1. God of Israel is responsible for planting Moses to lead the people of Isreal out of Egypt and through the promised land. But here you are suggesting that rebellion against Moses was not seen by God of Israel as a rebellion against His decree and ruling. Really? Have you read Numbers 12 vs 1 - 6 ever?

2. There is no such law in the entirety of the Old Law of Moses which Job lived by. God of Isreal never said those who curse Him or blasphemed against Him would be struck dead by Him. If Job had cursed God, he would not have died immediately as you assumed, but he would have lived in regret of it.

3. She was not supposed to cause her husband to lose hope according to what law? What law is there that mandates a wife serve as a source of positive encouragement, even to Job? Where do you folks get these ideas of yours from since Scripture neither says nor mandates any such?

4. Satan never said she was his advocate so, again, where does this idea come from?

■ I agree...if you pick just private schools and private security companies that fall into this category....You think they can pay their staffs Majority are not paying NGN 30,000 as we speak. Wetin NLC and TUC don do for them

It isn't NLC or TUC's duty to enforce the Law in Nigeria. They can only agitate for better pay for their members. Enforcement is up to the government and of course citizens.

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.

That is how labor laws work. Employers are expected to pay taxes and based on reports received, the Government is mostly able to determine whether a particular employer complies or not. Another way is having individuals file suits or petitions with the government against employees refusing to pay the minimum wage for services rendered.

osazsky:
only company's who have more than 25 staff fall under the minimum wage rule according to labour law

Good to know!

adioolayi:
■ My issues is with NLC and TUC...we have about 60 million workers in Nigeria..out of which Federal Government workers are just 1.2 Million...State and Local government workers are less than 15 Million...the remaining are private organisations, and majority are small and medium enterprises.. including private schools, saloons, artisans, cooks, securities, drivers e.t.c..
■ If government agrees to pay NLC and TUC..who takes care of the other millions of workers?
■ That's the big question. Immediately new wage is released, prices of goods and services will further go up ..how will these other workers cope??? That's my headache

Who is currently responsible for the wages of those non-governmental workers at this point? Government or the private sector?

2. I don't follow. Whether or not the government agrees to pay NLC or TUC, those private-sector workers will continue to depend solely on their private-sector employers, right? So, what exactly is your issue with the private sector not being directly paid even after all of this by the government?

3. 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?

Sapiosexuality:
■I don't think it works that way. Goods and services have already increased in price. I think it's the same argument for private sector. They increased the prices of good and services but failed to increase the salaries of their workers along with it. Then when a new minimum wage comes in to compel them to do what they ought to have done when they initially increased prices of goods and services they talk about increasing prices. That's an elaborate scam.

Imagine the scam!

fastseo:
■ 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

...

femicyrus:
■I agree with you if only the Senate and house of representatives members also earns a total package of N62,000. No private organization can pay what this people earn and still remain in business in Nigeria

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.

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.

Any employers that can pay the minimum monthly pay of 100k should employ his/she employees and pay by the hours... The minimum wage should be negotiated by minimum hour.

Now someone is talking!

dollar124:
■ I don't really understand why everybody is shouting 62k this and that. The 62k is for level 1 step 1, which in reality nobody is in that level because even olevel employees starts from level 4, and graduate employees starts from level 8.
■ We should also remember that this minimum wage only affects less than 10% of Nigerian workers.
■ Hence it will be unfair to the rest of Nigerians who will not benefit from the minimum wage if most of state resources are used just to pay salaries to only government workers.
■ Who will pay those in private sector? What about the jobless?

Non-graduates, Level 0 workers deserve to be paid abject-poverty-level wages, is what you are saying?

2. So, those who fall within that 10% deserve to be paid abject-poverty-level wages even by their government?

3. As it stands, most of those state resources are barely ever seen by most Nigerians. So, why would the same Nigerians now think it unfair if the same resources are re-routed from the sinkholes where they currently feed, into the pockets of workers who deserve to be enumerated for work done?

4. Who currently pays those in the private sector? The companies they work for, right?

1Alex:
let each state decide. Check US below. https://www.employerpass.com/state-minimum-wage-requirements-chart

You didn't bother to read that page you posted, did you? In the U.S, the federal minimum wage is set to ensure that everyone in the nation is paid at least that amount. State minimum wage cannot go below the Federal rate. A State must set its minimum wage above the Federal rate to qualify for the right to decide its minimum wage.

VeeVeeMyLuv:
Adjusted for headline inflation, food inflation, fuel price increase and foreign exchange movement, the current wage level has lost its value and would need to be tripled to restore the purchasing power of the working class. An average worker, whether they are on public or private sector payrolls, the analysis suggests, will need an almost 200 per cent pay raise to maintain the 2019 utility level, otherwise, they will slip further below the poverty index.

SwissMass:
The problem with these wages is that the more you earn, the more you spend because, immediately , goods and services will increase in prices

This is ridiculous reasoning. Presidency, Senator, HOR, & all political office holders all gave themselves raises not too long ago in that same Nigeria. Are they currently complaining that they are having to spend more on goods and services? Why is it that it is the Nigerian people, many of whom have not received a raise in over 4 years that are screaming at the biting cost of prices of goods and services instead?

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?

PressMyButton:
FG can pay 100k, but can Governors and your employer pay 60k minimum wage?

Any company/state not able to pay its workers a decent wage is not a viable company and should be disposed of...merged back into a more viable state. It is ridiculous to argue that because some states/companies are not able to pay a decent wage, therefore, a decent wage should not be made an option for all to be paid.

That's because muhummad plagiarized from the Bible. If someone plagiarized your family history, does that make him your brother?

Christianity with its over 47,000 different interpretations, and denominations it calls them has no direct connection to Scripture and Jesus Christ which it pretends it holds to.

proff010:
Islam is a scam. God did not ask anyone to sacrifice ram after the death of our Lord Jesus Christ

Christianity is also a scam. Jesus Christ condemned religion beginning with the religious leaders of his time as well as their doctrines, so Christianity which is modeled after the very same religion Jesus Christ condemned is a scam.

uria:
This is why I a kind of believe Christians and Muslims are brother. They share same same Bible stories

But both are in no way actually related to the story in question. Mohammed was not known as a descendant of Abraham neither were Romans who helped bring you Christianity were not directly descended from the bloodline. They are brothers alright but not to Abraham or the stories about Him.

lesbiconverter:
Religion is not the problem. The people who weaponize it are the real problems

Those who follow these scammers allow themselves to be used as weapons against others. So they are part and parcel of the problem if you think carefully about it.

IbeOkehie:
1) The PDP increased pay for government officials. APC also increased the pay of government officials in Buhari's first term - yet a majority of Nigerians voted for APC in 2019 and 2023. What do you want me to think? The MAJORITY of Nigerians are OK with huge pay for government officials.
2) Are you denying fiat money printing has caused inflation?
3) Yes...
■ and if the PEOPLE are really serious about getting a better share of the National Cake, they know what to do.
■ Why isn't NLC on strike?
■ We remember Occupy Nigeria and END SARS, but we know Nigerians will do no such thing. Nigerians love suffering, that's why they elected APC. Good Luck to Nigerians.

1. Well, are you insinuating the majority of Nigerians are somehow only for the increase in the pay package of those in power with no desire to see that trickle down to even the lowest on the totem pole?

2. Is this fiat money printing responsible for the current high inflation rates under the current administration? 🤔

3. WOW! Do you mean the existence of a minimum wage act does not mean the Government of Nigeria was elected to ensure are paid a decent wage?😶😶😶

4. Huh? Better share of the National cake? Minimum wage? Are you for real?

5. My guess is Sallah!

6. This isn't all Nigerians agitating for better pay but rather those Nigerians who work, probably about 50 million of them, represented here by the NLC. So, you attempt to compare this to ENDSARS and the Occupy Nigeria movement no enter at all!

IbeOkehie:
1) Well, the Government of Nigeria is broke. Like it or not, that's FACT. Many Nigerians also thought something was wrong with me in 2012 when I told them in Jan 2012 that the country was headed for economic disaster if they forced government to retain fuel subsidy....I subsequently took the crazy decision to leave Nigeria for all the sane Nigerians.
2) Wow, I thought I was clear about the major cause of inflation - fiat MONEY PRINTING, which is exactly what the government will do AGAIN to finance a new round of wage increases.
3) What is this? We're a democracy. The people of Nigeria elected their leaders. Everything else is consequence. If the people of Nigeria want to earn more, they MUST elect a government with policies that will increase productivity. And let me add, that despite any Government Law, the REAL Minimum Wage in any economy is ZERO. Think about that. Good Luck to Nigerians.

1. Nonsense! The government is broke yet the same took the liberty to ensure that top officials got their pay packages padded this year to counter the cost of inflation and Naira devaluation!🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

2. Oh, so the major cause of the current inflation rate — over 33% at this point— in the country is fiat money printing, right? 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

3. So, the people elected the government so they could pad their pay packages but not ensure the people are equally paid decent wages, abi? 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

IbeOkehie:
■ The only way the Government can get money to increase wages today is by printing more naira. So your calling for higher minimum wage is exactly the same as demanding for the CBN to print or maybe borrow money.
■ Udoji Award did exactly what an increase of the minimum wage will do today and what Buhari & Tinubu have been doing since 2015 - inject more fiat money into the system without a corresponding increase in productivity, which leads to inflation.
■ Your quotes from reports on the Udoji Awards are correct, but the salary increases did lead to inflation. You can't deny that. Jargon, sounds almost like Jagaban !!! Good Luck to Nigeria.

1. That na rubbish assertion! Go out there and tell that to the average individual on the streets of Nigeria and they would look at you like something is wrong with your brain for suggesting it is the only way.

2. Notice how you have conveniently dodged this question of mine over and over again. You refuse to answer the question when posed yet you pretend you say something new or different each time. 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?

3. The top echelon of government have all pretty much increased their salaries to meet up with the Naira standard of today and compensate for other shortfalls. Did their salary increase not cause inflation? Why then should we raise alarms only when the people insist they too should get a raise for the same reasons as them?

You keep throwing around inflation as though that should be the priority here ignoring the fact that millions more Nigerians - over 40 million of them - have seen their livelihoods reduce to almost nothing since this administration came into office back in May of last year without a clear end in sight. So, I ask again, why should they care whether inflation will take it all down or not?

Enemyofpeace:
Baba Adeboye don dey fumble with him speech and prayers these days

No wonder dem dey deceive una so. The man continues to speak out of the abundance of his heart yet here you seek to pretend now old age or maybe dementia is to blame. Na wa for una! This one na chronic blindness !

IbeOkehie:
The usual Nigeriana.
■ You remind me of our President Tinubu who in 2015 recommended massive increase of money supply by printing more naira. Then Finance Minister Iweala responded with her own article stating that such a policy would spark hyperinflation, this was Tinubu's next response -
Well APC won the 2015 elections and Buhari as we now know proceeded to print massive amounts of naira. Tinubu himself was elected in 2023 and followed up by printing 2.7 Trillion between June 2023 and Dec 2023. Result? Hyperinflation that we're living with today.
■ Remember the Udoji Salary awards of 1975? It also caused inflation and this new demand for higher wages will do the same if implemented. It's called Wage Push inflation and it's the worst kind of inflation that can happen to an economy. I'm sure that's all jargon to you anyway.
■ So you're nothing if not a Typical Nigerian. Na book you go chop? Good Luck to Nigeria.

Nah! The typical Nigerian tactic would be resorting to posting gibberish when cornered! 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

1. I never said anything about printing money so why would you think to connect anything I said to that statement made by Tinubu in 2015?

2. That you think comparing the minimum wage issue of today to the Udoji awards of 1975 further reveals the level of disconnect in your argument. Udoji was not an attempt to establish a minimum wage but rather an attempt to fairly distribute the loot from oil boom. Yes, an attempt because the government only implemented parts of the report.

Abuja — General Yakubu Gowon, Nigeria's Head of State between 1967 and 1975, has defended his administration's decision to increase civil servants' salaries in 1974, an event that came to be known as Udoji Award.

In September 1974, Gowon accepted the report of the Jerome Oputa Udoji panel on Public Service Organisation, Management and Remune-ration. However, when the report became operational in January 1975, only the salary component of the report was implemented. The rest of the report was allegedly ignored.

3. Keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better spouting baseless jargons! 🤔

■ In marriage, the man becomes one with his wife. Jobs wive is same as job as far as marriage is concerned. That's y satan could not kill her. Because touching her meant touching job... And that was not the agreement God had with him the devil

The oneness of marriage speaks instead of the agreement/contract between a man and woman in marriage. There is no indication anywhere in Scripture that a woman or man is approved righteous by God by being married to a man is approved righteous by God of Israel. Marriage has no connection or dealing with God's approval. So, this assumption here is not based on what is contained in Scripture.

IbeOkehie:
■ Simple FACT... when the price of anything is raised, less of that thing is purchased. There is no argument you can make to get around that.
■ Your attitude on Zamfara puts aside the link between price and demand. If States set Minimum Wage and Lagos enforces 600K and Zamfara chooses 50K, I bet you some investor may choose Zamfara over Lagos for a factory or whatever.
But why does it have to be Zamfara or Lagos? Why does it have to be Minimum Wage alone, that's why I also mentioned University education...why not security, energy and everything possible? Why should Benue State be denied the ability to shape its own policies because Akwa Ibom disagrees?
■There's no good reason Nigeria should have so much centralization in so many areas of life. It's DANGEROUS and counterproductive. We should allow different states to try DIFFERENT approaches and learn what works. Lastly the principles of economics are universal. It's clear that Minimum Wage Laws are harmful, especially to the least competitive members of any labor pool.

1. Are you trying to argue that when the minimum wage is raised, there would be fewer people desiring to enter the workforce? Or are you suggesting instead that when the minimum wage is raised, there would be fewer openings for hiring across the country in both the government and private sectors, which one?

2. Price and demand for what exactly? Poverty? Workers, no matter where they work have a right to earn a decent wage. When that is absent, then such employment amounts to slave labor. I will leave this for you to read.

The UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights declared the right to "just and favorable remuneration" in 1948, and the UN General Assembly ratified it in 1966. It became international law in 1976. The International Labour Organization (ILO) also endorses living wages and recommends setting them using "robust data" and consultations with workers' and employers' organizations.

Any company not able to carry its weight and not able to provide a decent wage ought to be dissolved or merged with other states able to meet up.

3. All this textbook jargon you dey spew... shows why you seem so removed from the reality of life and living for many Nigerians.

The current minimum wage was set in place in 2019.

Put am for 1million,it doesn't change anything.. The higher we go,the costlier it becomes.

So, the reason prices are higher today is because your government and politicians gave themselves fat raises to compensate for the devaluation of the Naira and inflation?
