But make we talk true, Bulabalu na Ika. A wicked soul. Can't believe in almost a year there has been no new minimum wage increase despite the poverty he brought on the populace

Obasanjo kare Lai.

First major announcement in 1999 was the new minimum wage of 3500. Civil servants when they first saw voucher then we're amazed about what and what they will get asking themselves if truly Nigeria can pay this amount of money.

That was when the Nigerian middle class started growing and it was all Economic growth all throughout not when these people took over government in 2015

What a Pity!

3 arms of government.

Judges deserve just as much as their peers in the legislature and Executive.

If you do not want the judges to be corrupt, pay them reasonable money. After all their pay is still not close to the politicians.

The security forces should be the next on the line

I hope you are seeing the judgement that will be delivered by the Courts on the incoming formality 2027 election.

He is not called the JAGABAN for nothing. He is the god of Politics

Increase their salary ooo
He will need their services again come next election.
If na you, you nor go compensate the cabal when put you for throne.
