If Labour collect 500l as minimum wage it’s you people that will pay through tax politicians and family are Labour workers who have insert their children and families on payroll
When your senators, reps and other politicians increased their pay packages, nothing happened. Na when ordinary Nigerians demand raise to reflect the new reality in Nigeria after the Naira crisis, una go begin making noise. As long as higher taxes mean everybody will pay, then let it come. The trimming to follow should come from the top down hopefully beginning with the scrapping of states that have not been producing for all this while. undecided

The governors are the major problems of Nigerians workers. To think there's/are states still paying the #18,000 as minimum wage in these hard times.
60k minimum wage is unsustainable but they are comfortable spending close to one billion naira on refreshments and useless travels.
In fact I blame the very docile Nigerian populace.
If the NLC backs down in this fight, that number of Nigerians living under extreme poverty conditions is probably going to double before the year's end and corruption... you haven't seen anything yet. undecided

In May of 2022, for example, Naira was worth about $0.002409 meaning the Naira 30,000 minimum wage paid to Nigerian workers was worth approximately $72.27. Fast forward to this offer from the government today, and you will find that Naira 62,000 is a pay cut for Nigerian workers as it is worth nothing more than $42.14. For the NLC to at least return to what the people earned before the Naira crisis of around $72.27, it has to demand at least Naira 106,325.07, but this is not to be confused with an increase in salary at all. as it only ensures that they are all raised just above extreme poverty levels to pre-Naira-crisis levels.

Even if the government decided today to pay Naira 100,000, it would still be less than $84 dollars at this point in time. So, Labor needs to continue pushing or else, more and more Nigerians are only looking at settling into life in extreme poverty. undecided

■ Are you in this country at all or you are just pretending to be ignorant?
Right now, some states atr still paying 18k as minimum wage and they are always owing salaries...they only rely on the federal monthly allocation to pay salaries and run the govt besides other infrastructure they need to put in place...where do you expect such state to have 62k to pay?
Or you expect the fed govt to base their decision on the payment capacity of Lagos and Edo...even Edo state is doing that to score political point not because they can really afford it. Only Lagos and probably the Oil producing States can afford that 62k...none of of the northern States can afford it.
If a company is not producing and constantly depends on handouts to pay its employees, what do you do to such companies? Why do we continue to prop up states that are not able to produce or make ends meet? angry

▶ 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, is pretty much not a raise but adjustment to match the old minimum wage. I suspect the recent increase of 300% for the Judiciary was such an adjustment made against the Naira depreciation level. So this Naira 120,000 or $68 point needs to be where Labor begins its negotiating for a raise.
▶ 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 it's 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.

Christianity EtcRe: Who Told Matthew? by Kobojunkie: 10:43pm On Jun 07, 2024
AbuTwins:
■ Matthew never knew Jesus until his calling in Matthew 9:9
As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector’s booth. “Follow me,” he told him, and Matthew got up and followed him.
1. So how did Matthew knew what happened before he met Jesus?
A. Matthew recorded about the magi following a star to where Jesus was as a baby. How did Matthew know this that Luke, Mark and John didn't know it?
B. The Magi were warned in a dream not to go back and report to Herod about Jesus. How did Matthew know the sorcerers dream when they took another route back to their country?
C. How did Matthew know Joseph had a dream to escape with baby Jesus to Egypt? Or was Matthew just trying to make Jesus fulfil a Prophecy?
Mary, the mother of Jesus, is reported to have survived the death of her son, Jesus Christ. And she became a disciple of Jesus Christ even before His death. Reports also indicate that the brothers of Jesus Christ, or at least James, lived for a period after His death. So, the writers most likely had direct access to resources for all the information there. undecided

■I may have had reasons to like some of .... post in the past regarding prayer and fasting but when it comes to the word of God, it’s obvious he still needs to learn a lot before making himself a teacher.
One issue is, some people got some power through prayer and because of this, they think automatically they now know the word too. Such people who forcefully make themselves teachers of the word and they start falling into big heresies which eventually impact their ministry negatively.
If prayer is you calling, then stick to that but if you necessarily want to teach God’s word, then ask for wisdom and take time to study to get the truths.
Even your prayer(public incantation rituals) and fasting(starvation diet) rituals have nothing to do with the God of Israel and absolutely nothing to do with Jesus Christ. lipsrsealed

■ Like you said, apostle Paul could not have been perfect since he also human like everyone else but then, even if truly he made trivial omissions, why escalate them as an avenue to attack the word of God and tarnish the image of God’s apostle? We’ve seen apostle Peter commit blunders but that doesn’t matter. He’s human and most important thing is, he’s God’s saint and he lived right with God, got the gospel right, did the work God gave to him and God has nothing against him and so no one goes about creating threads to attack him. If apostle Paul said some things which are not wrong but in your opinion you think they’re wrong, that’s fine but that doesn’t mean you turn such trivial issue to an avenue for creating endless threads to attacking God’s apostle or escalate it to an avenue to debase the Word of God.
Stop rambling! Paul made a lot of mistakes in his letters. Those mistakes have absolutely nothing to do with God
▶ who never called on you or any man to follow Paul or any other man
▶ and who never called on any man to follow the teachings and commandments of any man, including Paul, in His name.

AntiChristian:
■ I like you! You sabi argue! But Jesus did not tell anyone in the Bible to believe in his death to be saved!
■ Moses had followers! Many other Prophets had too! Following them or their teachings does not mean they should believe in their deaths as their deaths had no significance just like Jesus's!
1. Look argument by nitpicking is a logical fallacy. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

2. Moses did not have any followers. The passage below more than reveals the very reason why the children of Israel eventually went out into the desert with Moses. It was not because of Moses but because of the God of their ancestors. undecided
1 Then Moses said to God, “But the Israelites will not believe me when I tell them that you sent me. They will say, ‘The Lord[a] did not appear to you.’”
2 But the Lord said to Moses, “What is that you have in your hand?” Moses answered, “It is my walking stick.”
3 Then God said, “Throw your walking stick on the ground.” So Moses threw his walking stick on the ground, and it became a snake. Moses ran from it,
4 but the Lord said to him, “Reach out and grab the snake by its tail.” When Moses reached out and caught the snake’s tail, the snake became a walking stick again.
5 Then God said, “Use your stick in this way, and the people will believe that you saw the Lord, the God of your ancestors, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.”
6 Then the Lord said to Moses, “I will give you another proof. Put your hand under your robe.” So Moses opened his robe and put his hand inside. Then he brought his hand out of the robe and it was changed. His hand was covered with spots that were white like snow.
7 Then God said, “Now put your hand into your robe again.” So Moses put his hand into his robe again. Then he brought his hand out, and his hand was changed. Now his hand was good again, as it was before.
8 Then God said, “If the people don’t believe you when you use your walking stick, then they will believe you when you show them this sign.
9 If they still refuse to believe after you show them both of these signs, then take some water from the Nile River. Pour the water on the ground, and as soon as it touches the ground, it will become blood.”
10 Then Moses said to the Lord, “But, Lord, I am telling you, I am not a good speaker. I have never been able to speak well. And that hasn’t changed since you started talking to me. I am still not a good speaker. You know that I speak slowly and don’t use the best words.”
11 Then the Lord said to him, “Who made a person’s mouth? And who can make someone deaf or not able to speak? Who can make a person blind? Who can make a person able to see? I am the one. I am the Lord.
12 So go. I will be with you when you speak. I will give you the words to say.”
13 But Moses said, “My Lord, I beg you to send someone else, not me.”
14 Then the Lord became angry with Moses and said, “All right! I’ll give you someone to help you. Aaron the Levite is your brother, isn’t he? He is a good speaker. In fact, Aaron is already coming to meet you, and he will be happy to see you.
15 I will tell you what to say. Then you will tell Aaron, and I will help him say it well. I will tell both of you what to do.
16 So Aaron will speak for you. Like God, you will speak to him, and he will tell the people what you say.
17 So go and carry your walking stick with you. Use it and the other miracles to show the people that I am with you.” - Exodus 4 vs 1 - 17

Christianity EtcRe: Who Told Matthew? by Kobojunkie:
AbuTwins:
■ They were sorcerers and star worshippers! Do they know Jesus to be God? Paul said in 2 Corinthians 6:14 Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership can righteousness have with wickedness? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness?
■ Yes! The acts of the Magi in the actual sense may not have been worship! They may have just honored Jesus as a human Prophet or King he was meant to be. But since the Biblical translators translated it as worship (to prove Jesus is God) then we have to call it that!
In Genesis 42:6, Joseph's brothers bowed to ground for him as a ruler. This is not called worship! But when the same is done for Jesus, it will be called worship.
■ You brought that part and i had to disconnect you from it. That's that!
■ From the passage of the Magi, do you think they really see Jesus as God to be worshipped? The gifts giving shows dependency just as gods are being worshipped! God is independent of anything! Who can give God directly any gift?
■ You are right! YHWH is one but three whereas Allah is only one! YHWH is the God of Israel while Allah is the God of all that exists! YHWH's laws are solely for Israel whereas Allah's law is for all mankind and Jinn!
■ I agree there is no law if it is only reverence. But when it is worship then, the first commandment is there! The Magi are sorcerers who have no light but darkness! Just as Paul said above in 2 Cor 6:14, what fellowship does light have with darkness?
The word translated as "worshipped" is prosekynēsan which means to fawn or crouch to, i.e. prostrate oneself in homage. This is similar to what the brothers of Joseph did above. But the Bible translators used worship just to prove that Jesus is to be worshipped from birth!
I can see now that this is degraded into a case of you desperately trying to find what will stick! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

1. Paul's statement in Corinthians, according to Paul, applies only to followers of Jesus Christ; not to Jesus Christ Himself. And what Paul wrote of concerns entering into contracts between persons, not bowing down or giving gifts. 😁😁😁😁

2. The Magis were foreigners, and as Nebuchadnezzar did towards Daniel, bowed down in worship of Jesus Christ, as King of the Jews. When it comes to the God of Israel, the most a foreigner could do is to bow down in reverence aka worship/honor of the God who belongs only to Israel. Giving of gifts by those who bow is not frowned upon as we see in the case of Daniel and some other prophets of Old. The story of the Magis is no anomaly when compared to other similar cases written in the same book. 😁😁😁😁

3. I didn't bring it up. I simply pointed it out to you that Allah and the God of Israel are so far apart that they cannot be compared in any way, even if passively by your person. 😁😁😁😁

4. For information on what the magis thought of Jesus Christ, you only need to read the reports in the Gospels.
1 Jesus was born in the town of Bethlehem in Judea during the time when Herod was king. After Jesus was born, some wise men from the east came to Jerusalem.
2 They asked people, “Where is the child who has been born to be the king of the Jews? We saw the star that shows he was born. We saw it rise in the sky in the east and have come to worship him.
3 When King Herod heard about this, it upset him as well as everyone else in Jerusalem.
4 Herod called a meeting of all the leading Jewish priests and teachers of the law. He asked them where the Messiah would be born.
5 They answered, “In the town of Bethlehem in Judea, just as the prophet wrote:
6 ‘Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, you are important among the rulers of Judah. Yes, a ruler will come from you, and that ruler will lead Israel, my people.’”
7 Then Herod had a private meeting with the wise men from the east. He learned from them the exact time they first saw the star. 8 Then he sent them to Bethlehem. He said, “Go and look carefully for the child. When you find him, come and tell me. Then I can go worship him too.” - Matthew 2 vs 1 - 7
As for your other question on who can give God gifts, there you go again confusing your the Allah of the Muslims with the God of Israel — YHWH. You only further reveal your ignorance of Scripture and the fact that you argue from a point of ignorance a majority of the time when you do that. 😁😁😁😁😁😁

4. Don't worry! The God of Israel — YHWH— has never competed with any other deity including Allah of the Muslims. Neither does the God of Israel — YHWH— share the limitations of the Allah of the Muslims. 😁😁😁😁😁😁

5. If there is no law to be found then this has all been an exercise in religious hubris and I am glad you admit to at that at least. 😁😁😁😁😁😁

6. There is nothing wrong with the translation. In many cultures, including many pagan religions of today, the act of bowing down to another being or thing is interpreted as worship of that other human being or thing. So, this is another non-starter abeg! 😁😁😁😁😁😁
