If this is done, u will be surprised that most private businesses/companies will start paying their staff ridiculous amounts as salaries .

Also if private companies/businesses are excluded from the new minimum wage, it will have no effect on businesses and the economy at large . Workers will continue to groan under hardship .

Especially if the general price level goes up much faster than the increase in wages and salaries

There has been a lot of this swirling around just like last Olympics when they changed the roster size last minute. Time will tell if they change it again.

The IOC should increase the squad size oh! Insisting on only squad sizes of 18 players is unrealistic these days

Na underemployed govt worker NLC want to pay 400k? Did we not all do NYSC? How many civil servants do anything more than show up on last Friday of the month?

Gbam!

65k - 70k is okay for minimum wage, even for the most hardworking entry-level civil servants. Also, the national minimum wage law may be amended in a way that it would apply only to the federal and state governments, and corporations.

Kingsley Moghalu has accurately summed up the whole minimum wage issue…

I have a question on this possible restructuring issue.
Would the FG allow Lagos out of their control?
Considering Lagos ports especially and what it means as a revenue generation to the nation.
I'm genuinely curious

In a pure regionalistic or federal system, the ports in Lagos would be owned and operated by either the state or private entities. However, the practical reality is that the FG-owned ports would have to be continually run by the FG, even in a true-federalistic arrangement, unless Abuja divests complete control of those ports.

Roland17:
I think it is state by state. Some states have limited participation post completion of term others don’t. I know Texas allows felons after serving but there are exceptions that must be met.

True.
In Florida, Trump would not be able to vote for himself because Florida relies on the law of the state where the conviction occurred in deciding whether to allow a convicted felon to vote. In NY, felons can’t vote unless they’ve been acquitted by an appeals court, or have served their prison term, or are not incarcerated

Sentencing has now been scheduled for July 11..

Roland17:
He can campaign and get sworn in from jail sef if he gets a prison term.

Correct!

raumdeuter:
Yeah I just read that

But felons are not allowed to vote but can be voted for?

Exactly. Some of these laws really do not make common sense.
Thats why I’m an advocate of restoring the voting rights of convicted felons immediately after serving time in prison.

larride:
So Trump can still contest for President.

Wow

Yes, there is no state or federal that bars a convicted felon from running for president

Trump found GUILTY on all 34 charges 🤯

happney65:
PDPGuy Do you have the chance to follow the Prosecution closing argument in Trump's Hush money trial?

I think the Prosecution has a slam dunk case against Trump. They so much explained the case like explaining to a 4year old.

If you have the chance to follow and as a prosecutor yourself,I think the Prosecution did a good job.

We wait and see the final verdict

TBH, I didn't follow the prosecution's closing argument. I only learned snippets of their (4+hr) argument.
But I gathered that the DA's team hammered on the fact that Cohen was not some random guy on the street who was subpoenaed to testify on the witness stand; that his testimony should be basically a solid base to find Trump guilty as charged. I'm not so sure that would be a convincing argument to the jury when the witness, himself, testified under oath that he committed a felony, under NY law, by stealing money from his former employers.
However, the jury may rest easy when returning a guilty verdict because Judge Merchan advised them that Trump may not necessarily be jailed as punishment.

Best president -- obj

Best governor -- umahi

Worst president --Gej

Worst governor -- okezie ikpeazu

I won't argue this one
In fact, all Abia governors, except Alex Otti, would be contenders for the worst governor title.

Unlimited22:
My uncles told me people were reverse-japaing when Obj was in power, especially those who escaped under Buhari (they showed me the Andrew checking out commercial), IBB and Abacha.

Your uncles are 💯correct. I remember that Naija banks and the multi national oil companies were massively hiring individuals with foreign degrees, and offering lucrative salaries and other compensation plans.
The compelling argument, then, was that why would you be struggling with bills on a $4,000/month salary in America, when you can get paid the same (or more) in Naija and have access to a driver, a company car, and a cook, and not worry about bills

BlueRayDick:
BEST PRESIDENT THUS FAR; Obasanjo. His period witnessed significant economic growth , it was more like a breath of fresh air from the successive choking years of military rule ; even though onasanjo being an ex-military man displayed military tendencies in some of his political decisions , still it was a period the press and general public could criticize government openly again without fear of being detained illegally without fair trial. Obj’s administration also did well in the areas of having our debts written off by international creditors and he attracted investors into the country with his constant travel all over the world ( even though the opposition then criticized him for globetrotting with tax payers money )

Although his time as president witnessed a rise in cases of political assassinations (which is a big minus to his administration ) , I would say those killings are actually due to desperation of various political stakeholders to silence their political rivals and not solely on the OBJ government .


BEST GOVERNOR THUS FAR: Fashola . His period as Lagos governor witnessed significant change in the fortune of the state . He set the state straight with his policies .

In the area of Education, Fashola with the full support of his deputy Sarah Sosan ( who was an educationist before politics) revamped the public education sector in Lagos state . Their administration was like a turn around for public education in Lagos ; prior to their administration public school education was nothing to write home about. I attended a public secondary school and I know about how teachers were given to dereliction of duties , some don’t even come to school more than twice a week, some of them turn the school staff room to their shops , others bring melon to school and give students to break for them ; while some just come to school to sign attendance register and then go back to their various businesses like supplying eggs, selling foodstuff in shops , etc.
Sarah Sosan being an educationist who knew all of these anomalies started by sending education inspectors to schools to clamp down on the unscrupulous teachers who were caught off guard and issued queries ; when word about this spread fast, they started adjusting . Fashola’s administration also renovated schools , provided desk and chairs which has been a problem in public schools in Nigeria ; he also put a stop to all forms of levies which principals always collect despite having free education in Lagos. His administration also provided textbooks for students and equipped school libraries . I know quite a handful of people who withdrew their children from private schools after they fell on hard times and enrolled them in public schools without regrets afterwards.

His administration wasnalso responsible for taking out of the streets the rickety molue buses and gave the state the BRT buses instead .

The only challenge I had with some of his policies then was that they were elitist. Like road rehabilitation concentrated in the elitist part of Lagos like the island while giving less attention to the mainland . Then the outright okada ban in his second term after he had given out helmet to okada riders during his second term campaign . I felt he could’ve modified the operations of the bikemen instead of banning them outrightly cos some areas are not even motorable in this state and only an elite will not know that.

But overall I don’t think any governor has done better than him in Lagos and even in Nigeria as a whole ( but this may be debatable considering the amount of funds available to him sha )

OBJ is my favorite too, because under his administration, Naija’s economy grew the fastest, when compared to his successors.

Tomorrow, Nigeria’s 4th Republic will clock 25 years; and Tinubu’s government will be one year old..

So, who has been your favorite 4th republic president and governor?

chrisooblog:
Wow what a run by Rosemary! More impressive is that it's well below the wind limit. Was thinking Ofili would be the next breakout Naija track queen but seems Rosemary is cooking!

Unfortunately our men are still struggling to show potential. One of Brume, Itsekeri etc should try na!

Yeah. They both are heavy favorites to reach the finals of the 100m, 200m and the 4x100m relay.
I believe Ofili is good enough to nick bronze in the 200m.

As for the men, they are good enough to reach the final of the 4x100m relay. Anything more than that would be a bonus

🚨🚨

Our women’s 4x100m team is taking shape, and with the form of Favour Ofili, Tima Godbless, and Tobi Amusan, that African record is gonna be broken in Paris!

Look to the bright side, Chelsea can become the first English team to have won the UCL, Europa League, and Conference League 😁
