GEJ until Buhari condemns BH outrightly

You just murdered your HNiC

Borno Massacre: Boko Haram ideology
devilish — Buhari

....
The three-time presidential candidate and
national leader of APC in the statement said:

“We condemn the recent escalation of senseless violence in Borno State. Our prayers andsympathies are with the victims and their
families.

“There is no justification for this wanton
disregard for the sanctity and dignity of human
life. Any ideology that trafficks in terror and
violence is a devilish ideology that has no place
in a civilized society.

So going by this you just said "Jonathan till February 18 2014.

Ps. There are even older articles than this.

theshadyexpress:
Gej until buhari gets a universty degree

NDA is a military University ignoramus.

Your statement indicates Jonathan's presidency shouldn't even have existed at all.

Realist5:
OK. Let them continue. dias God in whatever we are doing #PEJ's voice.

Lol.

A reality Nigerians live through daily.

Just too bad.

Jonathan was simply never built to be a leader. If he isn't begging, he is asking for prayers or using brute force to drive home his agenda!!

Hardly ever persuasive.

Where are the "thousands"

Rotten apples everywhere. From Lagos to Ebonyi, to Abia.

#PDP on the Brink!

Frankly, I care less who gets appointed into what position. All I demand is that the "job is done", period!!

This is why I think the Federal Character must be scrapped (and don't think I don't appreciate the tendency of Nigerians to abuse laws), but the truth is the quota system, in my opinion, promotes mediocrity.

No one should be denied a chance to render their service to the nation or become what they want to become simply because they are not from a particular place where the occupant of the position must come from.

Merit must be our yardstick.

Instead of requesting agencies to shed weight why not shed the weight of the salaries of political appointees or even shed the weight of political appointees to cushion the effect of the weight of employees of the agencies and parastatals??

I see the op has at least beaten down his knack for lying. He says "Buhari supporter" this time and not "APC member". Kudos to you.

They say the APC would self distruct after bla bla bla... Yet the PDP seems to be the only party at the throes of death at the moment.

Jonathan has succeeded is burning all bridges built by his predecessors and the river has already been crossed. Too bad.

arresa:
^^^^^^^ Same Tribalism, division and religious bigotry is the reason why Jonadumb is in this predicament so go ahead, keep it up, abeg don't stop.

Absolutely my brother!! They just don't realise how counterproductive this mode of campaign has been. It is so disgusting.

Unibenstudent:
I foresee a divided nigeria in 2015.

And I foresee a redeemed country.

These guys should shut it. What's the hullabaloo about exactly?? Did anyone threaten to attack Jonathan's supporters in the North??

If the threats of attacks is anything to go by, then one would agree with me it has mostly been coming from the south and it hasn't just been verbal, they have also gone physical. Have we forgotten what happened to APC stalwarts when they visited Amaechi last year??

What about the constant threats Amaechi comes under from some Nig,er Deltans simply because he chose to excise his.freedom of association?? He's been called a bastard, a traitor, and all manner of unprintable names.

With the damages Jonathan has done with his divisive way of politicking, I could wager my life the Ijaw people will not smell Aso Rock in a hundred years after his exit in 2015.

The arms you guys are stockpiling will only be used to exterminate your own families.

Nigeria will survive.

anonimi:
Many of these people are either resident in Lagos or have substantial business interest in Lagos state. Why is Fashola not sending his LIRS after them or publishing their tax returns for all to see
Perhaps he has too many SKELETONS in his own cupboard to dare any such thing while his daft followers are hailing him as their do-all, know-all messiah

Look dude, lemme just tell you this in plain english. I don't like you, I don't like your moniker, I don't like what you stand for, and I definitely don't like how you frame your posts with the "bolds" and the "colours" (irritates my eyes). I would really quite appreciate it if you stopped quoting or mentioning me in your posts.

Thanks for compliance in advance.

Adminisher:
Thank you for this list. We are going to the tax office to find out how much they paid last year.

That would have been the next line of action in the US. Next day, you'd have the IRS knocking on your door in the morning like Jehovah's Witness.

MizMyColi:
Ma'am Obiagelli does it for me in the female category.

Lol
Omenka ---
Out of my all time 7 months on Nairaland.

I've spent two months and some days on here, according to our time keeper.

I am very observant, except of course, I haven't taken an interest in a thing or person.

I do lotsa background checks and profiling on most popular people on here, you'd be amazed at what I know.

My assertion remains sir

Alryyyyt. Lemme refrain from putting a wet blanket over you this morning. Kinda cold you know.

Again, thanks.

The health sectors is in complete tatters yet the minister of State for health had the presence of mind to give an award to the president for his unparalleled transformation of the sector.

Jonathan has a knack for selecting the worst crop of individuals to man posts in his administration. Sometimes I genuinely feel sorry for him.

MizMyColi:
Hiohiohiohiohiohiohiohiohiohiohio



Lolest!

Clearly OP --- your list is biased, in favour of the progressives. Lolz.

But I haven't stopped laughing! Waow! I appreciate your obvious oratory and writing skills. I woulda passed you off as an alt for Omenka. Haven't quite met a male progressive as intelligent and astute.

Following this thread joor.
I could use the laughter for today.

I reeeally hope they don't lock it

Lol. You honour me. Gracias Senorita.

I presume you haven't met Barcanista, Obiagelli, and a lot other progressives who've chosen to be a bit more reticent. You'd've realised I'm only yet scratching the surface.

Firefire:
Are you anti-workers or pro-workers in this your submission?

How did you arrived at your 20 states defaulting? Which are the states?


Irrespective of the state of mind as the time of passing the bill, a standard have been set, it now depends on each state wish to comply or not to.

Well, I am not aware the constitution amendment is reverting the minimum wages back to 7,000 from its current 18,000 which workers are agitating against already.

GEJ passing the minimum wage bill, was done in good faith to support the Nigerian workers, who toil under heavy burden of Nigeria working condition.

18,000 Naira per month is equal $107 per month gross (Inclusive of taxes and compulsory deduction)

N:B: The minimum wages is a pointer and benchmark to government and private sector employers.

@ Bolded 1.

.......
More than two years after it was passed, governors of about 20 states have refused to pay the N18,000 minimum wage. An action which has drawn the irk of various labour unions.
.....
m.allafrica.com/stories/201308130192.html/

@ Bolded 2.

The minimum wage is a LAW and your submission is like saying it is okay to break the law!! Laws are meant to be upheld by governments and they are not supposed to be told that upholding or flouting the is their prerogative!

@Bolded 3.

Saying it is an attempt to truncate the 2015 polls, Nigeria's labour movement has vowed to resist the decision of the Senate to remove the
minimum wage from the Exclusive list to the
concurrent legislative list.

www.thisdaylive.com/articles/minimum-wage-labour-vows-to-resist-removal-from-exclusive-list/192045/

By the way, I didn't say they want to take it back to N7,000. I only said the law was to be removed/amended.


@ Bolded 4.

Absolutely untrue. It wasn't done in good faith. If the president had wanted to do what is right and fair to all civil servants, he should have made the increment based on a percentage and not some fixed figure!! Imagine it were a percentage, FG workers would have been taking home over N24,000 as minimum wage!!! Do you see my point?? Given what he did, states are to pay over 100% increase whereas the FG is to pay a mere 5.56%!! What manner of logic or "good faith" is this??



By the way, I'm am absolutely pro workers. But I'm against such injustices. The states must be allowed to negotiate on their own terms. All states don't receive thesame allocations from the FG and the FG which happens to be the richest of all the levels of govt is the one paying the least increment.

Firefire:
In response to your post:

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has listed
the defaulting states as Anambra, Ebonyi, Plateau, Kwara, Kebbi, Niger, Osun, Enugu and Zamfara.

It accused the states of failing to complete talks with the Joint Public Service Negotiation Council (JPSNC) on the implementation of the N18,000 national minimum wage....

Sadly, workers under the employ of Enugu, Zamfara, Niger and Ebonyi state governments are yet to be paid the new wage despite pressure from labour.

According to your quoted submission few states in Nigeria are yet to fully implement the minimum wage, however the pressure base on the signed bill by the president have pushed the compliance to 90% which is a success story to the President and the Nigeria workers.

The message the OP is passing is very basic who "Increased the minimum wage from 7,000 to 18,000 Naira"

The next question would now be what is the compliance level? which records have shown to be 90%.

Records show compliance of 90% when well over 20 states have defaulted on implementation What in God's name are you talking about?

And like I said, the rubbish was done in very bad faith. The FG knew the states were gonna be the ones bearing the brunt of the law given that state workers were receiving very low minimum wages (5000 - 8000) and would have their pay increased by over 100%, whereas the FG's workers would have theirs increase by a paltry 5.56% (17000 - 18000)!!! What greater injustice is there to the states than this??

And by the way, do you guys even realise the damn law is being struck out under the current constitution amendment due to its innumerable drawbacks??

Firefire:
I see, it was not there before...

Is this all you've got to say??

Abeg nor dey wink at me. Una own don dey too much.

Firefire:
We only work at the basic level until required to move to advance stage. ( A message the general public could get easily)


What advance stage are you looking at sir ?

Your sarcasm fell flat buddie. Go back and respond to what I posted.

I bet you must have read it and don't just know how to respond to it. I don't even wanna start with the op. He doesn't have even the slightest of what it takes to engage me.

Guys go back to page one and do yourselves a favour at my response.

These Jonathanians are simply too basic for my liking.

Watch this space.

Now,

This is particularly in response to firefire's post regarding stats about minimum wage paid by APC states.

Here are some general info and stats for yall.

thenationonlineng.net/new/nlc-to-battle-kwara-osun-seven-others-over-minimum-wage/

Labour plans to tackle nine states that it claims
are yet to pay the minimum wage.


The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has listed
the defaulting states as Anambra, Ebonyi,
Plateau, Kwara, Kebbi, Niger, Osun, Enugu and
Zamfara.

It accused the states of failing to complete
talks with the Joint Public Service Negotiation
Council (JPSNC) on the implementation of the
N18,000 national minimum wage....

Now look at the bolded and tell me how many APC states are there and how many PDP's are there.

Again..

www.thisdaylive.com/articles/poor-implementation-mars-national-minimum-wage/136375


Well over 20 State Governments have practically
failed to fully implement the N18,000 National
Minimum Wage for public sector workers nearly
two years after the minimum wage bill was
signed into law.

Sadly, workers under the employ of Enugu,
Zamfara, Niger and Ebonyi state governments
are yet to be paid the new wage despite
pressure from labour.

Investigation by THISDAY revealed that many
states have tried, in some cases successfully, to
renegotiate the modalities for payment of the
new wage to civil servants, while states such as
Plateau, Kwara and Adamawa have resorted to
partial implementation; a situation where some
categories of workers benefit from the new
wage while others are being paid the old wage.

FG Inclusive

More worrisome is the fact that the Federal
Government, which signed the new wage into
law, has not fully complied with the minimum
wage act as government has failed to implement
the new wage across board to workers under its
employ.

Rather, what the federal government
did was a staggered implementation, by adding
about N1,000 each to workers at all grade levels. The action of the federal government is based on the argument that it had already commenced the payment of [b]N17,034 minimum salary relatively to workers under its employ.

General Secretary, Association of Senior Civil
Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN), Mr. Alade Lawal
said the implementation of the new wage for
civil servants was done in bad faith, noting that
workers have not benefitted from the
adjustment in the new wage.

He said the argument by government that
minimum wage is only for workers in the lower
cadre does not hold water, stating that services
of workers in grade level 1-2 (cleaners) had
already being outsourced to private firms. He
challenged government to tell Nigerians those
that are benefiting from the new wage.

“To us, it is an implementation done in bad faith.
This is because the minimum salary in the civil service before the implementation of the
minimum wage is N17,034. What the federal
government did was to adjust the amount to
N18,000.

At the end the 0.01 per cent increment
was used to adjust up to grade level 17. Their
argument is that they do not want to create
distortion in the system. Government has made
a mess of the whole issue.

We do not see this as implementation of minimum wage because the adjustment has to be scientific,” he said.

The Thisday report is particularly damning!!

First, it shows the FG pushed for the implementation of the minimum wage in very bad faith. Workers had been receiving over N17, 000 and all she needed to do was add a paltry 0.01% to take it to the stipulated minimum wage leaving the states with the hot end of the rod!!!!!!! This is a complete 419 if you ask me.

Besides that, even with the insignificant increment, they still couldn't fully do the implementation yet someone wants to come here and cast aspersions on APC states and giving Jonathan undue credit for what is in fact a colossal injustice to the states!!

When next you people want to throw jibes, do your homework properly before going public.

Fastest way to get dumb is watching one Nigerian movie a day for one week!
