Minimum wage should be 120k since fuel was increased 400% price of everything also increased 400%.
vowiski:
120k looks fair

When and where did you see Labour "standing firm" on a 100K minimum wage? This is how some of you manufacture and spread false news with stupendous audacity.
Things are really difficult this period, I understand why you can be so upset trust me.

My own is not proposed X a month

Break it down.. According to the UN anyone who lives below 2 dollar per day is poor that's the definition of poverty

2*30 is 60 dollars... That's 90,000 naira

Are you saying Nigeria workers should be poor?

Married couples need to earn 180k to escape poverty, with two kids 360k minimum

Please minimum wage of 150k then stop NNPC from selling petrol at a lose, remove petrol subsidy pay 150k minimum wage


Yes petrol would be 1200 pee litre but 150k minimum wage would cover it
How about people that are not working ?

How about old pensioner that their pension is not up to 20k

How about private sector that won’t be able to meet up ?

Inflation will be very high


There are a lot of factor that surrounds it .

So you’ll encourage someone who earns 90k to quickly marry and raise 3 kids, smh. That’s the root cause of poverty.

It’s the barest minimum anyone should earn. Step 1 level 1. I think it’s a quantum leap from where we’re coming from.

Don’t forget that even some cleaners and gatemen aren’t on level 1.1, they’re on 4 or 5, that’ll mean 150k or more.

If this is implemented, it will be the first real gain Nigerians have ever had from democracy. Politicians have been chopping alone since.

Next is to see how it’ll affect the price of commodities and taxation

I totally agree with your last 2 paragraphs

Even the headline on the link you're quoting says "Labour considers 100K" and you're talking garbage about Labour "standing firm" on 100K. Are you people mad in this country?

A news tabloid's speculative journalism which in lucid perspective is just a presumptive conclusion the paper made from gauging the negotiating atmosphere of the Union's representatives, is what you're boldly summarising to the reading public as absolute and tentative facts, and even quoting a link for back-up.

You will do jail one day!

There's no argument that people understand things differently. But this has nothing to do with variations in mental assimilation. He was simply being mischievous with that submission and false information is a danger to any society.

Am 100% in support of this increase in minimum wage to something that reflects reality to the 150k or even more. But just like you acknowledged, petrol price will increase and this means the prices of everything will very most likely double or triple (like you said the new minimum wage will cover it) But what about the very VAST MAJORITY of us not working and earning salary nor the new minimum wage? How do we survive?

Legislators should be paid like civil servants.... I see no reason why someone with SSCE with less than 10 yrs of experience should be earning 30 million per month for passing useless bills....

Minimum wage should be 150k-200k....if you're staying in somewhere like Abuja and you're earning 90k, 20k Don first comut from your salary for transport fare, if u enter market, another 30k Don comut if you're single, so wetin come remain.... Make God no
allow person sick oh
Legislators should be paid like civil servants.... Bro, I second you on this. Let's them be paid same minimum wage just like every civil servants. They're been made higher human for doing just nothing there in Abuja.
We paid them 30 millions to carry oloshos, send their children abroad and then oppressed us.
