I don't support Tinubu at all but I think that farmers are the ones exploiting nigerians. Southern part of the country is safe but yet, Garri keeps hitting new high weekly.
the garri farmer or seller will have to sell the garri to buy bread and other food items, he won't depend on or feed on garri alone. Have you heard of circlical inflation before?

The singular act of increasing fuel price and deprecating the naira nailed the economy. So blame no one but the govt.
Politics › Re: How Is Minimum Wage Calculated ? by Mandate1: 3:30pm On Jun 07, 2024
Beautifulday:
It can't cause inflation. We just like blowing grammar we don't know what it really means and how it work.

You just show small proof from the minimum wage of a thing. You see how that guy understood it? Different people have different understanding too.

How many people are really employed in the public sector? How much do Nigeria pay as salary per month?

With a population of 200 million, minimum way of 500k for 10 million workforce will be like a drop of water in an ocean.

If 200 million people are paid 100k per month in a population of 200 million country, it can't even cause inflation. This is because these 200 million are paid according to their labor. They can't just make a purchase. They factor their labor into their purchases.

You see, they purchase their needs most times more than their want.

What causes inflation is free money in circulation. E.g if a yahoo boy make 100k in a month, he is ready to burst that same 100k a day on what doesn't have value to him. Because his purchases doesn't have value to him, he is willing to pay more than it's value.

The consistent payment for goods and services above their value is what causes inflation.

The bolded is very important
though I'm in full support of your latter submission, but I must deviate in that simple economics made us to understand that an increase in salary will directly increase the purchasing power of the people and further inflation. The inflation this time might not be as overblown by the political class, but there will be a slight increase in the price of commodities. This can be checked if the govt reduces the volume of money in circulation.

The politicians on the otherhand are the alpha and omega of inflation.

if labour agrees this, then they are.... Damn. They have been negotiating with govt since January, only for the govt to be adding 1kobo daily.

They can comfortably jerk fuel from 160 - 700 but to increase minimum wage na 1kobo daily. A nation is as gud as its labour unions.

Sports › Mourinho Unveiled As Fenerbahce Coach by Mandate1(op): 6:31pm On Jun 02, 2024
Jose Mourinho named as new coach of Turkish side Fenerbahce; 61-year-old embarks upon his 11th managerial role, having been sacked by Roma in January; former Man Utd, Spurs and Chelsea boss signed his contract at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium on Sunday as fans chanted his name in the stands

The former Manchester United, Tottenham and Chelsea boss signed his contract at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium on Sunday afternoon as fans chanted and cheered his name in the stands.

Mourinho waved the club's yellow shirt in the air before signing what is understood to be a two-year deal and told the fans that they had made him feel welcome after he jetted in on Sunday after attending the Champions League final at Wembley.

"I want to thank you for your love, the love that I felt from the first moment where my name was first connected with Fenerbahce," he said.

"Normally, a coach is loved after victories. In this case I feel that I am loved before victories.

Stop wallowing in ignorance. You must be born again. You must stop sinning or you perish. Your church doesn't save you but Jesus does. Have you stopped living in sin? Have you giving your life to Christ? This is what matters not defending Roman Catholicism which you know is a false religion.
okay, thanks. Keep your true religion and church to yourself.

Just to point out some basic truths and not to attack your opinion.

1. Catholicism has nothing to do with the inception and propagations of Christianity.
2. Emperor Constantine in the 14th century adopted Christianity as a state religion and the Idol worshipers made a lot cover-ups so as to continue with their idolatry under the umbrella of Christianity.
3. The protesters emerged from the ranks of Catholicism and started beaming the light of the true gospel and many people were forsaking idolatry sold to them in the name of Christ.
4. Several events were written in the books of historical documentations until Lutheran that finally broke the ranks and the protestants breaks away from the virgin Mary adherents.
That's what eventually gave us the church we are having today.

Catholicism is never the beginning of Christianity. They hijacked it.
you posted something, you still went about contradicting yourself. Sir, what do you have in your point 3 and 4?

Not true. The Christian church started at Jerusalem where Jesus told the apostles to wait till they receive the power of the Holy Spirit. They were then empowered to spread the good news to Judea, Samaria , Rome and other parts of the world.

Sadly, the branch in Rome became paganized, but used their access to political power to start persecuting those who refused to accept her state backed authority.

BreconHills:
You are making an assumption that everyone at the bottom of the pyramid is an employee. That is not true. Most of them are employers; whether of family members or not. These are the micro SME's

You also assume that I am saying there should be no increase. Iam merely saying that 497k is unrealistic and impossible. The highest sustainable minimum would be between 60-70k. Even 100k with its multiplier would create goods and services that nobody could afford.

What the government should work on is food costs
and the short term way to do this is selective
importation.

Grants can be given to schools and transporters to cushion rise in prices.

This is the only way. The only way out of our situation is increased productivity and high costs ( including salaries) would kill that.

You can't be emotional and kill the very people you are trying to save.
I still don't get you. We are talking about minimum wage for the lowest cadre of the Nigerian labour force, and you're talking about them being employers of labour and having alternatives. Is this the bone of contention? Are they employed with the agreement to have alternate source of income and divided attention, or to give their full time and effort to their organisation?

Secondly, talking about solution. How is selective importation a solution? Rice has been banned from time ago and the price wasn't to the roof as today, so it has nothing to do with importation. Rice and food price is expensive today because of the high cost of fuel and diesel. Moreso, due to unpredictable exchange and huge custom tariff on importation.

Which catholic is the base rock of christianity?

Show me one thing the Catholics are doing that peter,paul,timothy or any of the early christians indulged in.
Christianity originated in Israel, the Romans persecuted and Nero even burned them alive and used them as torches for the street of Rome, so How come where christians were killed and persecuted you people made it your headquarters.

When Jesus was ascending,he didn't give catholic the sole mandate of christianity, he said he will send the counselor, the holy spirit to everyone including you and I to reveal the truth to you and I, not one white Italian deceiving you in Rome, if you can't understand what Christ meant by being heir with Him in the kingdom of God, you are playing yourself dirty.

The pope, oyedepo, kumiyi, adebayo,etc and who so ever I have same privilege with them in the eyes of God.

If you like don't emancipate yourself.

When You Have To Save Your god Because It Cannot Save Itself

Then you suddenly realize that your god cannot save you either.

It means you need a new God.

The only God that can save you.

His name is Jesus.

God bless
putting Catholic among ur writeup shows you know nothing about Christianity.

The foundation of whatever you have as Christianity you now boast of started from the Catholic Church.

You can preach Christianity without insulting yourself and others. I see nothing but desperate tomfoolery.

How will the employer cope? Is everyone the FGN or the state government? Casualization and contract will
simply increase.

Do you not understand the cost push of a massive wage increase?

It's Zimbabwe you are praying for.

Will increase in salary increase productivity and reduce all other factors of employment?

The NLC position is ridiculous and any sensible person knows it.
would you have said this if you earn the current minimum wage of 30k and tend to feed your family from it? Let's be fair with ourselves. Paying 100k minimum is even a start, #1000 cannot conveniently feed an individual for a meal, how much more 3x meal for a day.

If a manageable meal is #1000, times 30, multiplied by 3 square meal is 90,000. Are you telling me the minimum wager is not good enough to have savings?

The govt singlehandedly brought the inflation and sufferings we are experiencing today. Very unnecessary policies to achieve nothing.

A loaf of bread is 1500 and minimum wage is 30,000. So your so-called fantastic minimum wage can only buy a worker bread for about 20days.

This strike action will last for weeks if the Labour unions are very serious to fight the war against FG. At least if you finally settled for #150k or #200k for new minimum wage, that one is justifiable
anything between 100-150k is fairly okay. Except we are not being honest with ourselves. Things are damn expensive.

It appears funny right? But in a society with established systems that work that scammer will be cooling off in a police cell.

They told us every line has a NIN and every bank account has a BVN. They made Nigerians suffer under the sun qieuing up to submit biometrics for all this rubbish and yet scammers have increased. They operate freely without fear.

If at all you choose to involve the banks and the courts, you will be frustrated. All of a sudden, the bank tells you it doesn't have the details of whoever scammed you. You involve the police, they will demand outrageous sums from you in the name of tracking. You pay the police to do their job.

This is not how society should operate. Nigeria is a shame and a disgrace.
scamming was never in the roof like this before, until the advent of these Fintechs. It was quite easier getting this dudes through the traditional banks, today it's a very difficult task. I hope the govt increases its tough hands on them.
