So you believe those figures they throw around..

It's all scam

They don't even share one hundredth of it..

When did state government that take pleasure in stealing become father Christmas sharing grants to SMEs.. or become lending institutions..

The reason they resist the wages is because that is the only one they can't hide much of it.. even as most of them still criminally pay percentage of the wages to workers.

Watch out. It is a scam pattern devised by a few of them for now.. the others are still studying it. In a few days, others would announce their own. It's a very fraudulent way they have devised to cover already looted state money and yet to be looted state money.

These guys behave like people without conscience.

The real looters are those Govt workers.

SME needs more govt attention

BuharisBoy:
Why not pay workers decent wages instead of throwing money to where only God knows, this is is a waste of state resources, pay a good wages to workers and see how the creative economy will thrive on it own but no. Let us see how this will small business will grow if no money in the hands of people to patronize them. #lack of wisdom

Goshhhhh!!
Some Of You Are So Ignorant And Permanently Daft.
No Government Can Survive Without SME's And SME's Drive The Economy. In Nigeria Particular Government Workers Are Completely Useless. Nigeria Is Known To Have The Most Unproductive Civil Service Worldwide.
There Is No Point Educating Mumu's Like You Free Of Charge About The Importance Of SME's.

BuharisBoy:
tell me how SMEs will make profit of no one has money to buy from, they will just feed on their capital and be out of business before they know

Do you think it is only civil servants and salary earners that patronise SMEs?

Goodvibes007:
Minimum wage in Lagos vs minimum wage in Abia. That will be a good start.
I know one state is paying 80k while the other won't even pay more than 18k.

Consider the cost of living in those two states as well. 18k in Abia is 150k in Lagos.

Funding SMEs is not a bad idea. But the problem with this country is that, SMEs will not receive any funding at all. That money will be looted by those in charge of the disbursement.

So, it's best to channel it to salary instead.

Mumu of the highest order!

vowiski:
Very commendable ..

SME are drivers of economies ..

Grants and no-interest loans are a game changer

Pay civil servants #20,000. They don't do shit.

Which workers are you talking about. I hope is nor the useless set called civil servants.They contribute nothing significant to the economy. THE SME is the life wire of the economy. What is the percentage of the so called civil servant to the population. Instead the right thing to do is sack half of them to go and farm so they can be productive. They don't deserve more than 60k minimum wage

I'm all for funding SMEs as they grow to become larger, creating more jobs and contributing more to govt IGR via taxes. However funding ang guidance need to be done properly.

this is what I was trying to point it out, but many here eager to gain government loan won't let me breath, as you said is a dubious SMEs funding

This exactly part of my point,

I thought I was the only one seeing the misplaced priority. How can a government who hasn't paid workers arrears be thinking of diverting attention to the empowerment of SMEs with money that could go a long way in soothing the tension already being experience by the deprieved workers.
That OTTI guy's is just an overblown hype and nothing else.

Paraman:
Direct your advise to the Abia state governor who's owing LG workers 11 month arrears

As far as LP and their croners are concerned, especially the Social Media hunter and the so called Obedient,they see nothing wrong with Abia States owing Workers Salaries and that is the height of hypocrisy in Nigeria.
Is this how they want to rule Nigeria?
The same set of People will be abusing the Federal Govt, when your home is not even put in proper shape and planning!
But I used to like this Otti,as a governor o,so where is he getting it wrong?
Who are his advisers and what is going on?

Standing5:
Which worker?
Small businesses need to be alive and paying taxes for workers to be paid. Here we take all our funds and pay workers of corruption directly with half , then let same workers in connivance with public office holders loot the remaining half.

Correct!
Small businesses are even more than the state civil servants, as a matter of fact, some of them even have businesses and will likely benefit from the interest free loan as well

How do you generate IGR to pay Doctors and civil servants without a viable source of IGR?

Political talk wey no dey change anything for real life. Next thread, abeg.

Do we really have workers in the real sense of the word? Apart from a few MDA''s most of these workers don't do anything, they just receive salaries for jobs not done.
Left for me, it will be better for government to outsource most of these jobs to private companies and set targets for payments.

Not everyone is a civil servant abeg. A state like Abia needs to focus more on empowering SMEs

zebszebs:
A nincompoop just dropped an opinion.


The same civil servants who will refuse to provide a service to you without greasing their palms?

Go to any ministry, department or agency to verify since you are playing daft.


These people are so useless that sacking 90% of them wont see any reduction in output.

People who resume by 10am, pray for 1 hour, then start gossiping and eating groundnuts, while asking for bribes and pretending to work till 2pm when they close?

Its like you want thunder to fire you this morning for making such as asinine suggestion.

With time, the trend will be outsourcing given the fact that Labour with its unreasonable request will lead to a breakdown of governance. Soon, what we'll have is top level staffs being employed by government and those at lower levels, their jobs will be outsourced.
