Lmaoooooooo... See now I nor even sure say 1m go dey enough for family of 4

nihilistjnr:
We've been facing a cost of living crisis here for the last 3 years. What the UK government did would be considered suicidal in Nigeria, but they created an environment to remove money from circulation and stick to reducing inflation no matter the cost.

The consequences have been profound. Job markets have been decimated. Record number of companies have gone insolvent. Hundreds of thousands if not in the millions have been laid off. Entire councils (like states) announced bankruptcy. Birmingham City Council (the 2nd biggest in the country) went bust trying to implement equal pay between male and female staff

The cure for inflation is incredibly bitter. If Tinubu even dared to think about it, he would probably be shot on sight.

We said the same thing when they removed subsidy.
I thought this country would burn after a few months.
One year later we adjusted.
This is with the extravagant spending of the FG.

You underestimate the current Nigerian's ability to take punishment.

larride:
Bros na NASS dey dictate their own salary themselves o. Goodluck on that agenda.

This na the actual agenda I get.
I genuinely hope say the anger of people fit dey weaponized to reset some things.

But alas, just wishful thinking

larride:
What is the FG doing to reduce inflation? Why should labor be demanding the FG to implement policies to reduce inflation when that's why an same government should be actively doing?

Abeg make we no transfer the failures of the government to implement policies to battle inflation on labor.

On this minimum wage issue, NLC and TUC don try (Apart from the outrageous amount they are calling anyways )

Omo.. You dey try.. Good luck 🙌

The major issue we pray for is the government to tackle inflation.
That is what is killing us.
Let this currency have value and 100k will do alot. Infact even 70k will do alot.

nihilistjnr:
Solution to cost of living cannot be to increase wages. If you had scant hope that this government could somehow roku to reduce inflation, you might as well kiss it goodbye when you quintuple a cleaner's salary from 30k to 150k, and bringing their earning power into parity with the lower end of skilled labour.

Hyperinflation aside, that's going to wreak havoc on societal dynamics. It's an unspoken rule because of how unchristianlike it is to say, but I-better-pass-my -neigbour is an integral component of maintaining social class order.

If you bump cleaner salaries into 150k fresh graduate territory, without bumping them up into mid-career earning territory, you're going to have a very unhappy professional class -:and this is typically the sector of society that produces the biggest threat to any government.

I don't think 100k minimum wage of feasible in Nigeria, but then again I don't think Nigeria itself is a feasible contraption, so who knows?

The government doesn't have to be told that just wage increase is the end nau.
If you and I know this, shouldn't the government already know it.

But the people have also waited for a whole year and the price of things has risen beyond comprehension.

So my question to you is, what would you have the citizens do?
Keep waiting or at the very minimum get some relief while the government hopefully does what every normal thinking human being expects them to do

Itsrm:
100k is no longer what you think it is. If you come back to Naija today, you will blow that 100k faster than you'll finish one cigarette

Nor make me cry abeg😂

Sometimes I just wonder why we dey argue somethings.

Some of these things are what everyone should be fighting government especially after giving this same government 1 full year even with the increase in food inflation and general inflation.

I don't know how some of you do it. But omo una heart dey back

Theflint1:
Lovers of hospital emergency patients and their funny funny agenda.

Too funny.
Like say light dey since.
When doctors dey perform miracles with torchlight, where the FG dey?

It is why people are not clamouring for 409k increase but 100-150k.

You sef use your head.
FG nor suppose know say them go tackle insecurity and also crash custom fees?
I see you have talking points to defend Tinubu. But try dey think on your own

larride:
What does the post mean then? NASS does not need a committee to determine their own wages, they determine their own wages themselves from their own budget.

Minimum wage committee is made up of FG, State Government and Organized Private Sector, each component will contribute before they reach an agreed amount.

Using whatever NASS members earn as salary and allowance as a basis for the outrageous amount they are calling is an exercise in futility.

Infact it makes more sense to showcase the executive reckless spending just like the Hajj 90billion subsidy and the likes as a basis than what NASS earn.

But everything is being shown.
The executive ooo.. The legislature.

I personally believe nothing is impossible to rectify.
If citizens actually go mad, that same nass will let go of alot of their salaries.
Na we as citizens just dey docile.
See how fast it took to get to the airports.
Kasala burst today, how many politicians go escape?

larride:
Lmao.. the kind job losses will go happen will be unprecedented.

Lmao.. We both know state government won't pay that amount, but the salary will rise for some of them while the rest of the federal workers will earn more.

Again, this is nothing compared to what those people really deserve.
Guy 5 pieces of plantain na 3k or 4k depending on where you dey.

nihilistjnr:
100-150k minimum wage for a lastma street sweeper or LGA cleaner sounds insane sha.

Lmaoo.. They will manage it sef at this point because with the cost of living, that money no go do much.

Make the government go block leakage because e plenty dieeee

Segedinho:
Lol..


The matter too funny...dem don remember say na 24hr supply of light dy keep our food frozen...

Lmaoooo as if them dey supply the light since them enter.

We literally have a minister whose nickname is 'minister of darkness' 😁

larride:
This argument doesn't make sense though, if you want to earn nass member salary, resign from work and go join politics and see how easy it is to become a Nass member.

This doesn't change the fact that our NASS salary and allowances is outrageous.

You sef.
How does that post mean that we want to earn like NASS?

Lmaoo.. Take and irrelevant point and run with it.

People here are saying 100-150k is okay.
Agenda nor fit allow you see beyond the shriveled balls of Tinubu as usual 😌

Expensive shit😌

BlueRayDick:
See the people una want make labour dialogue with ….. smh 🤦‍♂️

Lmaoo.. Apc be thugs normally.

Oya wait for denial😁

Theflint1:
APC government gives a more coherent response to the strike.

Them just dey start.
Dey talk this one with one mouth, bayo dey attack with another mouth

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Even the dead in Atan Cemetery knows that 495k is laughable.

But 60k is way too small..

In January 2023, we were buying fuel at 187. Today it is 670

Just imagine the percent increase in inflation. [/color]

This 670 is in Lagos.
This is best case scenario.

In places outside Lagos, fuel na constant of 750-800

How much COS Femi budget for running him office again?
200billion naira.
It rose from 20+billion to 200billion naira in just 1 year.
Lmaooo.. You people should be grateful you got mostly calm idiots as citizens 😂

User09:
A political union is making outrageous demands and yet people are supporting them just out of spite for the government of the day.

Politics should always follow economics but looks like it is otherwise and people are just being played to the gallery.

Under what Iterations can the revenue of the country sustain those silly numbers. An extremely poor country by every economic, fiscal and revenue metric

People should readily make sacrifices but one which is worthy. Not being used to further some barbed agenda.

APPEAL TO ORGANISED LABOUR, BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA

This is a heartfelt and deeply considered appeal to the Labour Unions to continue along the path of negotiations with the Federal and State Governments, under the auspices of the Tripartite Committee that has been established to fashion out a new, realistic minimum wage for the Nigerian people.

As Government, we are desirous of a peaceful outcome, and we will do everything to make this happen. Yesterday, the leadership of the National Assembly met with the Unions. Today, we have offered another invitation to the Unions, to meet with us and continue our discussions.

We will continue to engage, and continue to make ourselves very available in the context of these negotiations on behalf of the Nigerian people

Let me make it clear that we are not opponents on this negotiating table. We are united by the fact that we want the best for the Federal Republic of Nigeria and for all 200 million citizens of the country.

We have a responsibility to strike a measured and realistic balance, in this effort to arrive at a new minimum wage for Nigerians.

Let us remind ourselves of the fundamental facts:

The minimum wage is not only for public sector workers. It will be binding on the private sector as well. This reality must be factored into the negotiations.

As I have explained earlier, Labour’s current proposal of N494,000 is an increase of 1,547 percent on the existing wage, and translates into an annual wage bill of 9.5 Trillion Naira for the Federal Government of Nigeria alone.

This is apart from its cost implications for subnational governments and private sector employees. Such a wage bill would cripple the Nigerian economy, by leading to massive job losses especially in the private sector.

The National Consumer Credit Scheme and the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) are additional significant demonstrations of a determination to bring relief to the people of Nigeria.

We want the Labour Unions to understand that the relief that Nigerians are expecting, and that they fully deserve, will not come only in the form of increased wages. It will also come as efforts to reduce the cost of living, and to ensure that more money stays in the pockets of Nigerians.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) is firmly committed to doing what is right, reasonable and sustainable regarding these minimum wage negotiations. We call on the Labour Unions to reciprocate this gesture in the interest of the nation.

I thank you for listening.
