Antoeni:
Popular Catholic priest, Rev. Father Ejike Mbaka, has urged the Federal Government to address the minimum wage issue cautiously to prevent potential crisis.

The cleric’s remarks come amid ongoing deliberations between the Federal Government and labour unions regarding the new minimum wage, which the government has proposed at N62,000, while labour unions demand N250,000.

Mbaka criticised the allowances given to legislators despite the hardships faced by Nigerians, suggesting that senators, governors, and members of the House of Representatives should also receive the proposed N62,000 national minimum wage.

He advised the Federal Government to proceed with caution to avoid a crisis.

Speaking to journalists on Saturday, Mbaka stated, “If we decide to give labour N60,000 or N62,000, why not generalise it to the House of Assembly members, senatorial members, House of Representative members, and governors?

Minimum wage: Workers differ, govs want revenue sharing reviewed
“They are all civil servants, so are the others slaves? I can’t understand why they are amazing billions as sitting allowance, wardrobe allowance, newspaper allowance, and suffering allowance.

“The people that should have such allowances are those suffering in the village.”

Speaking further, Mbaka said, “How much are our teachers, nurses, and doctors being paid? Let’s be realistic, our civil servants that wake early and return late daily, how much are they being paid?

“Looking at the level of inflation in the country, you will see that we are all not sincere in this country.

“I’m pleading with the government that a stitch in time saves nine; this situation must be handled with care because it might be hijacked and nobody knows the ripple effect.”

This how to fight.

Let the labour know how to fight and not being gullible fighting for their own pocket.

Fight for everybody and see yourself being favoured

SporaD8:
Very anyhow group of nuisance!😠
Shallow and self-centered too!
They will never fighting for better standard of living nor consider the negative impart of salary increments without corresponding increase in production.
Instead of fighting for N1million wages increments (something that will make the prize of commodities also gallop), fight for better standard of living(Return of transparent subsidy, Steady power supply etc) where N100 can conveniently feed you for a whole week!

God bless you.

cashtivist:
They should declare a 30 days warning strike to begin with. Anything short of this is not commensurate action.

But please leave the lights on

All these government workers are funny people. Always acting as if the world revolves round them. Are you guys shutting down the market? What concerns millions of Nigerians with you people? Shops will still open likewise market and other trades.

Nigerians should stock up because what will happen? If you guys trike today, market will open. Filling stations will sell. You will just cause unnecessary inflation and nothing more. Do people enjoy your salary with you? If you like go for 3 years

Are you just knowing this?

Gadafii:
Now wey Fulani people don over run all farm lands across northwest and centre Dem wan dey discuss this topic

Even if the law is passed, Fulani cow herders would never heed to it because they have grown bigger and more daring, unfortunately

Then they pay. It's so simple. If you don't adhere, you get arrested. So simple. Don't make it sound like something that can't be done

mrvitalis:
This is exactly why they don't want regional government

If I am the governor of IMO state

cowherding would be prohibited
Any person caught would have to pay us 3 million for each of the cow we would kill because all the cows would be killed

Yes all cows would he killed and he would pay 3 million per cow or face 5 years in prison for each cow

Honestly

What a useless DPO. Is he trying to justify the killing or what?

TUTU147:
That is why the government should provide free accomodations,free transport to and fro,free medical for all workers and their four children as covered by NHIS

Should that not be what they should fight for instead of the so called huge wage? So, government should provide all these for labour alone and still increase their salaries because you guys are the only people in Nigeria? Okay. No problem

These Labour have no brain. So, if cost are to be cut, must the excessiveness be use to pay salaries? What about basic life amenities that are missing? Or they are also fighting for their own cake not minding if the country crumbles?


All these data us to hold this people accountable and big to push for your own selfish mission. Are you saying you will be contended with whatever happens in as much as you got an increase? How will you people enjoy the increase? Daft humans

fitinwell:
Let dem downsize oo... At least abuse of Manpower or Labour will be reduced..

And all those excesses leakages on Wages will be reduced too

You mean they should downsize? Do you understand that word because you said, "At least abuse of Manpower or Labour will be reduced". Are you not contradicting yourself? All these people

simongrey:
Abeg not everyone that is a government worker or working in a private companies
But self employed.let also talk about the growths of the economics that is affecting the people so that we all can have a better living too.thanks

They care less about that. They are only interested in their selfish fight that would still boomerang heavily on them. If you are being paid #100k, I see no reason not to increase my house rent for a room self contain to #1m.

The #100k is just the basic salary. I also have the right to increase my house rent

jrizlybey:
Way to go. But the value of that 100k might have halfed in real sense in the next 6 months from inflation. The rate at which inflation has been biting only God can save us now.

If the #100k is approved, that is when you will know the real inflation. Everybody will want to take a bite. Even private schools won't be left behind. They will also claimed they have increased their teacher's package. Let's all brace ourselves up.

Labour don't know what to do. Instead of fighting high cost, they are busy fighting rubbish. If government pays then the needed salary, why should the government subsidies fuel price again? Hyperinflation is knocking seriously and the idiot nlc dwarf and tuc thinks they are fighting for living wage? What a senseless humans.

Landlord will increase their rents. Foodstuffs will increase because everyone now knows they are being paid high.

What a useless union

Ten06:
It seems you don't know what strike is met for.
Strike is not to bring the country to in knees but to draw the attention of the appropriate authority

Hope they won't strike again when everyone also add something to what they sell so as to enjoy the minimum wage from their side? Or do you expect same price when the minimum wage is approved even if at #60k?

Everything including rent will go up

Islie:
The statement comes a few hours after the Organised Labour suspended its industrial action which started at 12:01 am on Monday.

Bunch of brainless souls. What do they think will now happen? Hyperinflation creeping in

[quote author=opamoses1 post=130291300][/quote]Excellent analysis.
Most people reason with their anus. If Labour are being paid #495k minimum wage today, house rent for a room will shot up to #1.5m/annum.

Do these people think people are stupid? Shouting living wage like a fool. A bag of rice will shot up to #400k+ Hyperinflation will set in and Nigeria Naira will be useless than Zimbabwe currency

Brainless people.
You think the if the minimum wage is increased to #495,000, a bag of rice will remain the same? Accommodation will remain the same? School fees and other amenities will remain the same?

You just want to cause hyperinflation in the country. Even if the salaries of this political thugs are decreased, so they should add that to labours wage because they are the only people in the country?

Senseless fools on the space

SadiqBabaSani:
NLC under Ayuba Wabba was dead, he could not Cordinate one single industrial action against Buhari despite the many anti people policies

The influence of Joe Ajaero led NLC cannot be overemphasized, the man knows how to Coordinate industrial action, as the whether it gets called off too soon is matter for another. But the man Ajaero Cordination makes Unions comply almost 100%.

Unlike OSHIOMOLE, Ajaero is educated.

He will soon be caged just a fraud claiming to know something. They are daydreaming. Are they the only people in Nigeria? They just want to cause hyperinflation with their senseless request.

Time will tell.

PresidObi:
Why are you sweeping your house?

You should have left it dirty, adderall you are not the person who throws the dust that settled on your floor.

Will you allow him sweep in peace? So what others couldn't achieve in more than 16years is what you expect him to achieve in less than a year? Relax. Let him sweep in peace and with concentrated mind. It should be a collective work. He can't do it alone

Appletek:
Were you blind to see where Igbo Obidients were openly celebrating the killing of the soldiers here on Nairaland?

Well, those who celebrated celebrated too early. You people will see shege.

Double shege promax raise to power shegeya

PresidObi:
Oga, you and your government have failed Nigerians.

You all sit back, allow issues degenerate to the extent of confrontations and then sneak back and start talking tough like it will solve the problem. You should have deescalated the problem, Arrest Simon ekpa, no way

Your government failed to be proactive on the issue of peace in Nigeria, you think you are god and as such everyone should bow to you no matter how aggrieved they are.

Soldiers are being killed in the north, what have you ever done? Its only in Okuama South South and Aba South East that the army have power.

Your countrymen are relocating to Chad and you're here yearning opata

So Tinubu's government birthed IPOB and Boko Haram? So, it was his tenure that Ekpa started threatening the nation? Okay, we din hear you. Next!

igwebuike01:
Wailing continues. Your terrorists army should leave our cities simple

I thought you were saying 5:0 in a post earlier.

The army won't leave until...

ganisucks:
I hope DSS, NPF, and the authorities are seeing this. Aisha has a right to do as she pleases as long as she is not invested in anything that is harmful to the Nigerian people and state. APC should let Aisha breev. What about how an entire army staff, and Nigerians committed HIGH TREASON by insulting and degrading King Charles, our rightful King. The people who engaged in that secession plot are still working around freely. If they can do as they like, then so can Aisha. Tit for Tat. Gbam!

You are a dunce. Go try this in North Korea and let's see how you will end up.

Idiot even quoting the authorities whom she was ridiculing. Did you know how many souls were lost and how the agencies fought for the country before the country can be one? An idiot is now tampering with the nations peace by ridiculing her anthem and an idiot like you didn't see anything bad in it? To hell with both of you

Bulldozer90:
Before it was army killing defenceless agitators .Now it's the armed militants killing soldiers. If the soldiers start target people and minors in their homes, the soldiers' families can be targeted too. They all live in Nigeria and things will always change as far as time runs.

Very good of you. Keep it up.

We need to wipe you and your lot off for a better and more prosperous Nigeria. So help us God

Melagros:
COMRADES, I don't know why the army keeps making caricature of herself? You would not call for reinforcement during attacks until thereafter you'll start arresting civilians

Let the ugm come outside again. All of you guys should come outside and let's settle this scores once and for all

seborrhic:
Same modus operandi everytime and they think acts like this will tame ugm?

It won't tame them. Let your ugm attack the army now that they are in their base. Abi una bullet don finish?

Kafirbigot:
Is this the useless retaliation?

Is this the retaliation..?

Are these the much advertised retaliations?


Beerfraud, even with this alternate moniker, I still perceive your ewedu pigsty odour from far... ..

We are still waiting for the retaliation...

Nonsense

They are there with you waiting for your retaliation. Be fast and attack them. Good luck

Nwamazi8:
Soldiers wey we don see finish, after all their initial gragra Aba is now calm ;

You this boy

Your blockus go hear am soon

chatinent:
Currently, credible sources personally told me that Aba is on fire currently with unlucky passerbys being beaten and harassed by the military.

But the incidence didn't happen in Aba. The sad incidence happened beside Chicken Republic/Crunches, Obikabia junction, off Umukalika road, Obingwa LGA, Abia State.


Not Aba.



There's been a misup and misdirection of annoyance and misinformation.


#SayNoToKilling
#SayNoToViolence
#EveryLifeHasALovedOneLikeYours

Say no to what? I don't understand. Someone still quoted me yesterday that they are ready for the Army. What changed? Why the sudden fear? Nawa ooo.


Owner of nairaland will soon be arrested and questioned. We need more information about the many suspect here

Omodua:
Nobody said it's IPOB. IPOB can't go killing spree to Kill five soldiers and six civilians at a go. For what reasons?

You don't kill people you are fighting for. Their lives must be preserved. It's on that premise we doubt their culpability.

Know it!

But as of yesterday most of you guys were rejoicing. What changed?

igwebuike01:
Still 5:0 on the scoreboard

Okay. Very good of you. Keep it up. Jungle will soon mature

OhuDealer:
Lolz.

You guys have now quickly changed your tunes.

Yesterday you guys were all over SM celebrating IPOB as gallant freedom fighters .

Today you are now denying it was IPOB.

Well you must produce the killers .

Very funny people

Izuogu4Presdent:
Mr Hopeless Uzodinjo of Imo State should be held responsible. He sponsored those Simon Ekpa boys that did this mayhem. IPOB has no hand in this!

Simon Ekpa is doing the dirty work of APC Politician's led by Mr Hopeless Uzodinjo!

I thought IPOB were claiming to be responsible for the killings. No problem we dey watch
