What a greedy, selfish, and inconsiderate man SGF Akume is. I want to believe that what comes to him at his last birthday celebration can fund the salary payment of eight drivers for the next 3 years.

Is Selfishness Akume's other name?

I suggest you take your own advice and read the minimum wage act. If you did you would realize that the law Doris not even apply to the majority of Nigerian workers in the first place. Labour is fighting for government workers and even in that space they are really only fighting for federal workers.

Again read the law. I have posted the relevant sections numerous times over the last few days. The law does not apply to majority of workers and is not enforceable by law to the majority of employers.

Either way the SGF is right or at least is sending a message about the real Nigerian situation. He has 4 drivers because the government is paying for it. Government workers represent only 0.6% of the population. If he were a private citizen he wouldn’t employ that many drivers.

Either way whether as a public official or as a private citizen, nobody needs 4 drivers. This is the point I have been making that we are unproductive and many people owe their jobs to lack of productivity and low wages. If we are forced to be productive or wages are forced to rise, many jobs will go because there simply isn’t the money In the economy in both the private and public sector.
You're just confused. Which in either way? The SGF is referring to his personal driver he employed himself and not the ones employed and assigned to him by the government. Is the government is personal business for him to complain if they were the ones that employed them. You can only deceive yourself not me.

I already made references to the minimum wage act , and even posted some section of it on this forum long before you did, and I remembered informing you of it and asking you to Google it when I read you making some ignorant statement concerning the minimum wage law in a thread where you claimed to have worked in part-time in the UK. But you forgot and now lying you knew all about it when you never did.

What are you waiting for. Drive your cars by yourself.

Put one leg in a car, put the second leg in another car. One arm in the third car and second arm in the fourth car. Command them to take you to office.

Fear not your brother if without money but fear him if without sense. It a proverb.

Moreover, are drivers at minimum wage level?

Does it mean he pays his driver 30k presently?

Those drivers have families too. Oga master, learn to drive yourself if you know you can’t pay your drivers living wages.

He claimed he can’t pay 100k per month whereas each of his kids gets more than 100k a month as allowance.

People yabbing this man will end up with 10 drivers if given the opportunity.

Are we not Nigerians living in Nigeria anymore?
Abegi, make we talk another thing.
Poor people even have maids. How can a man clean baby potty or wash clothes. Naaaaa. It's beyond him.
Wifey must get maid.

And you still see people supporting them. Just ridiculous.

I don’t even have anything against domestic staff. But maybe 1 driver? Or two at most since one of them can’t work 24/7. Not that this man even needs to be on the road 24/7. I genuinely don’t get the need for the excess.

What he said is the norm for them.
I had one live in handy man. My nebor said I'm not serious. Only me and small kids o. The man was already there taking care of the house not like I employed him and still there till I relocated.
I should get a driver and a cook.
Mbok cheesy cheesy

I went to visit somebody one day and we went to one of those kind of people's house. The first question the "madam" of the house asked me was what label I was wearing and what lineage I came from cheesy.
She actually flipped the collar of my top to see the label cheesy to my utter bewilderment.
I don't think I had caustic mouth then like now. That lady would have received it from me.
We simply can't help showing off.
It's in our dna.

That was how I cancelled attending functions. No be by force. I no dey even pay visit.

I was groomed on the right attire to wear, how to combine clothes that befits whatever class they felt i should belong. It is well cheesy

That’s how they expose themselves to people that kill them and kidnap their children.
. Multiple unnecessary and unverified domestic staff members crowding your home. Where’s the peace and quiet?

SMH

@bold can you imagine? I would have swatted her hand away like a fly.
