Use your heads. President Tinubu CANNOT dictate the salaries of Senators or Representatives. They are a separate, independent and self-financing arm of government. They can even impeach the President. The President cannot even determine Judges salary. If the NLC is not happy with their pay, then they should face them. They should not make the rest of us pay for their beef with Senators or the National Assembly. Ask for something reasonable, like ₦75,000, and almost 100% of the populace will support you.

clown.

Ajaero is working for Peter Obi

yet gave the government enough room for negotiations.

You are an idiot because the same labour you claim are politically motivated came for days to the negotiation table while you added and removed 3000 naira like they are beggars without an option. You forgot they wield the power of the labour sector of the country.

And this marks the day I shelf any support for the labor party. Obi is the only one that gave them a voice.

Inflation rate has already quadrupled from the last minimum wage increase to this very moment, yet clowns here are blaming NLC.

Avb

Still available.

SOLD thanks all

They steal your money and tag it maintenance fees. In a country where poverty is rampant and the economy is barely surviving, if a bank that is supposed to safeguard your money is posting profits of billions, they are stealing your money.

CannibalTorment:
Those people saying 100k for minimum wage, remember that 60k offer is just for level 1 staff and no one is on level 1, they start from level 4 upward, presently Lagos state state on level 8 are collecting around 140k, we should think of hyperinflation.

level 8 on other states are collecting around 40 to 50 thousand naira.

Judiciary has turn a joke. Any rich man can secure a conviction.

Nothing surprising. This is Nigeria.

Jorussia:
This Kano emir leadership tussle is not worth the media attention being given to it.That throne has been made worthless by both Ganduje and Gov Yusuf.I think sanusi should have quietly rejected the offer to return back as emir.With the way things stand, I don't see how Sanusi can discharge his functions as emir without being a stooge of the governor.

then you do not know Sanusi. Someone who wasn’t afraid to speak against his former master as a CBN governor.

Clownery.

Hezzyluv:
So, of ALL the challenges they have been passing through, is inconsequential thing they choose to protest for

SMH

these are minor paid protesters, paid for by the government of propaganda and being reported by paid media. Do not take any clownery serious. I am in this state.

Where do the Labour union expect the government to get the funds? To borrow or to increase more tax base which Nigerians are fuming at both? —->

cut cost on all government agencies and officials. Senators in the US earn about $174,000 per annum this is about 261 million naira yearly with an exchange rate of 1,500 per dollar. While in Nigeria , this should be an amount a senator takes homes monthly. This is a country that Nigeria borrows from.

What should happen to private sector workers, how would they be able to cope in the same economy where the government workers would be earning X300% of their basic salary? ——->

this will force competition. Private sector will up their wages to compete. A minimum wage simply means, the country’s minimum standard of what a wage should be.

What would happen to Nigeria economy with government paying N500k as salary? ——->

Question should be, what hasn’t happened to the Nigerian economy already. In 2018 When govt approved N30k minimum wage, $1 was N167, so that amount was about $180. Even then a litre of petrol was N87. That amount could get you 345 litres of petrol.

Fast-forward to the economy destroyed by Tinubu, the N30000 or $180 then is now equivalent to N280,000. Also, the 345 litres of petrol is now about N267,000 post subsidy.
So, tell me how N500,000 is unrealistic, when you ought to increase minimum wage by nothing less than 45%. We all remember that they increased it from N18000 to N30000, a 67% increase.

The Federal government are always encouraging the Masses to endure while nothing changes in how they Earn their living and how they spend the country’s resources. We have billions and trillions being allocated to road construction while the country’s workers suffer. This isn’t how to run a country. People should look up to getting educated, graduating and getting a job within the country cos they know they’ll survive on a living wage they will be paid. Currently there is nothing enticing to work in Nigeria and to develop the country cos people are being paid peanuts. This doesn’t encourage citizens to endure and shun away from migration. How will a father of 3, earning 80k naira monthly survive? A minimum wage of 57k naira which the government is proposing is just $38 monthly, this isn’t even enough to get 3 big size pizzas in other saner climes.

Are people really expecting labor union to fish out ghost workers being employed by the government and governors? And also being paid by the government? How is that even possible or a duty of the labor union?

Arrest all those junkies on Facebook that shout in the name of content creating.

Bamss1:
Labour just dey make me laugh with their figures. Are they really serious? They should be realistic na. How do we jump from 30k to almost 500k

how can the government jump from petrol of 220 to 90? How can the government jump from dollar of 750 to 1,500. How can the government jump from rice of 10,000 to 80,000. How can the government jump from electricity of 60 naira to 208 naira. This is why you you see that the government is wicked. They killed the naira. 30,000 of 2020 is 60,000 naira of today.

Angelfrost:
Good points, but let's face facts... Can this nation truly survive the fallout of paying a minimum wage of over 300k in this unproductive and corrupt economy?!!

The way prices of commodities will hit the roof due to more money chasing fewer goods will sink the nation into oblivion.


Labor needs to sit down with seasoned economists (they ought to have some in their rank and file), and find a way to make workers' lives better without plunging the nation into a calamitous HYPERINFLATION!


You don't just toss lots of money into people's hands without a buoyant economy to cushion their spending.

For me... Both sides of this debacle should come clean and be reasonable.

FG needs to seriously open up about the nation's finances... They have to show that they are cutting back on their excesses too.

not with politicians earning millions monthly.

How are you guys able to send millions to someone you haven’t seen, and no one yet has bothered to involve the police or EFCC for this guy?

NeckingNgulping:
I'm of strong opinion that if they can meter most households, and generate stable electricity, Discos will make a whole lot of money as people will always recharge and pay their bills when they're sure it will get them the services they're paying for.

When you see that your neighbour has paid and has light, you would want to pay as quickly as possible to get yours. That's just the way it is.

The parts of my state with steady light use meters and a far cry from the parts that don't use it and are on estimated billing.

they don’t prefer metering cos they know they can’t give stable power

I have been trying to appeal a Bitnob card on aliexpress and it keeps getting denied. Can someone guide me on what to do? A detailed reply of what I need to submit since I have submitted everything I can to them.

Bye bye. No one cares.

Elzazzi:
Someone did that to the dog. In America this man will be arrested for animal cruelty.

the dog was chained to the balcony, he probably jumped and hung itself with the chain.

essentialone:
is the bicycle still available?

since 2018? That’s 6 years ago.

Obiedun:
You are a direct example of what you have just written.

🤣😅. A fool’s opinion is not important. Bye Felicia.

Obiedun:
Instead of you to stand up and use the education and skill you claimed to have acquired for something better you are here early in the morning asking me unnecessary question. You will ask taya.

first sign of a fool, they resort to insult when they have no answer to justify their stupidity. No need engaging one anymore.

Obiedun:
Labour party of mischief managed by scammers. A party of falsehood, lies, intimidation, mudslinging and character assassination.

and what has APC done to Nigeria?

Obiedun:
Evil party

and what has APC done to Nigeria?

Proudlyngwa:


The question is most Nigerian federal , state and local government workers , how productive are they.

Does there input into the system generate that amount or they just want to be paid for doing nothing

who are the ones paying those tax you think the government generates.

ZIAZI:
They said Wike is politically done and I laugh!

These men are resigning because they believe in Wike. He is not a saint, but he has the capacity to deliver and he has done so over and over again. It was this same capacity that made Atiku, Tinubu, Kwankwaso, and Obi visit him to leverage his structure in Rivers State. The facts are there!

Wike is a big fish in Nigerian politics and today in Rivers state, he controls 90% of those at the grassroots.

if that was so, they would convey and resign in droves. This is a resign or be fired, wike himself hand picked these people as commissioners.

Yet nothing on the minimum wage. How does this government actually want people to feel about them?
