Greed01:
40k is already too much. you fuckers are fighting for the wrong things. fight for reduction of fuel price, reduction in electricity tariffs, price control, reduced senators salaries etc.

Exactly. If all of that goes down definitely the naira will be stronger and the economy will bounce back.

Them dey do like who no dey see the truth

DaddyCoool:
This man is trying to use semantics to fool the people, talking nonsense. We want a MINIMUM WAGE of 100K or above!
Living wage ko, abi dying wage ni

Can you live on 100k? What kind of yeye lifestyle is that?

You must be ipob

“Incidentally, you even asked of minimum wage. What we have been calling for is a living wage for Nigerians and for Nigerian workers.
“And we believe that the question you also asked concerning the issues of corruption, the issues of the zeal to work for the state will depend on some of these things.
“Pay Nigerians a living wage, corruption will be reduced. Pay Nigerians a living wage, you will ignite the spirit to work for the nation.
“But pay minimum wage, I don’t think it will solve the problem. So the position of governors that they are not going to pay more than 70,000 or so a month to Nigerians, it will not help this country, it will not solve our problem, let us be realistic.
“Let us look at a living wage that is affordable by the government and if the Executive arm is sincere, see it with Labour. Talk to Nigerians, we will all see what is practicable.
Nigerians are angry because they feel that there is so much waste.
“I have even seen some publishing humongous figures as salaries of members of parliament and all that. Those are things that will make any Nigerian angry. And then when you talk about N70,000, how can you survive?
“I think our laws recognize that a Nigerian should have one or two wives minimum, one wife and four children. You have one wife, you have four children. Will 70,000 take care of the welfare of four children, take care of your rent, transport, and all that? How much is a bag of rice?

I completely disagree. Wages, for any job done, should be to the individual and for work done. It should not be based on household size. The idea of a living wage is unsustainable and should be scrapped beginning with those in government who are responsible for the bulk of the corruption in the system we have even today.

That the Nigerian law recognizes a person's right to have a wife and four kids is not enough of a reason why the man should then be paid for having the wife and four kids. The argument alone is preposterous abeg and the law ridiculous. The constitution should instead recognize the individual and their right to choose whatever burden, be it family or no family, or even pets, eg. dogs, they would prefer for themselves. And no, employees should not have to pay for whatever burdens a person chooses abeg!

Na there way! But unfortunately, Nigerians are easily distracted by such nonsense!

▶ Any amount less than $64.5 or Naira 94,893.69 is extreme poverty and should not even be considered of worth.
▶ Any amount less than $68 or Naira 102000, which is the former minimum wage adjusted for the approximate 340% depreciation of Naira since February 2023, is pretty much not a raise but adjustment to match the old minimum wage. I suspect the recent increase of 300% for the Judiciary was such an adjustment made against the Naira depreciation level. So this Naira 120,000 or $68 point needs to be where Labor begins its negotiating for a raise.
▶ At the federal level though, anything less than N250,000 should be rejected by federal workers. Given the padding senior workers at the federal level freely give themselves, I see no reason why some of that extra padding should not work it's way down and across the board to other Federal workers.

What is a poverty line?
A poverty line, also called a poverty threshold, is a set amount of income below which it becomes difficult, if not impossible, for people to afford essentials like food and shelter. Each country determines its poverty line by calculating the cost of meeting minimum needs. Households with incomes below this line are considered to be living in poverty.
The international poverty line serves as a standard for measuring extreme global poverty and was recently adjusted to $2.15 a day to reflect the rising cost of necessities and adjust for inflation. Since 1990, it has increased from $1 to $2.15, reflecting the rising cost of living.

This is the first time I've heard this man make a sound pro-people contribution since becoming a rep. member.

Nothing sound about any of what he said. He is merely promoting more of the old which is paying people to do nothing but have babies in Nigeria. Last, last, Na the Almajiris go beneath more from the whole scheme he is promoting.

Of course, blindly support the further proliferation of Almajiri culture which is bound to lead to more waste and corruption at the end of the day.

COMRADES, Tinubu should reinstate fuel and electricity subsidises if he truly cares about the welfare of the masses, but unfortunately the man is as callous as the late Pharaoh of Egypt and Idi Amin of Uganda

That is likely not going to happen anytime in the next 12 months given the state of the Naira. Restoration of subsidy to pre-Tinubu levels at this point will cost more than Nigeria is able to afford given the general situation the country is in.

....one wife and four children, that is where the problem lies. In a country where the government does not provide anything for the citizens. People should learn family planing, having many children does not equate to prosperity.

■ ....one wife and four children, that is where the problem lies. In a country where the government does not provide anything for the citizens. People should learn family planing, having many children does not equate to prosperity.

Family planning ke? With a population over 221 Million and the majority living in abject poverty situations, why would the government be supporting the having of more children?

If the federal and state government can provide the basic amenities that affect the citizen esp civil servants directly,then they won't be asking for more!

The exposure of their humongous salaries by labour is responsible for their actions!

Imagine! A representative elected by the people earns upwards of $170,000 per annum yet the same argues that civil laborers in the same country should be paid just $39.74 a month, approximately $476.88 a year. Just look at the evil the Nigerian people have allowed by their own hands.

All these talks about minimum wage would further heighten inflation in the country.
Let NLC play safe oh. Workers are not the only people in Nigeria oh.

They can work double jobs or take on side hustle to augment na. Government is not meant to cater for all your needs.

Then they should be closing by 12pm so that they can have chance to do double job na. That's my submission.

[color=indigo]Obaseki is currently showing Edo people shege... increased minimum wage and tax at the same time.
Imagine taking 60% of salary as tax

This is exactly what Tinubu and other State governors will finally do
