If you want to know what really transpired during the negotiations that produced N70,000 as minimum wage, just look at the image below, after all noise and threats by NLC a N70,000 minimum is simply unacceptable, it is a betrayal, why did these labour leaders deceive Nigerian workers by dragging the issue meanwhile knowing fully well that their proposed N250,000 minimum wage was a farce…. In today’s economy, N70,000 can not buy a bag of rice…. This new minimum wage will only make the situation worse for Nigerian workers as there is no guarantee that it will be reviewed even in the next 5 years….

It is glaring that these labour leaders just like other independent organizations are bed with Tinubu…. Nigerians workers should know that going forward they are on their own…. They don’t need to wait for NLC or TUC before they protest for a living wage…. NLC and TUC leadership should bury their heads in shame, they failed to defend Nigerian workers when it mattered…. Tinubu shining his teeth while they looking guilty and defeated tells you all you need to know

N70,000 new minimum wage is a trap by Tinubu’s insensitive government, once it is approved and passed by the National Assembly, it is Nigerian workers that will bear the brunt of this travesty for another 4 to 5 years as prices of goods and services continue to rise…..

Always them wsyy

When they've collected 36 cng buses and some possible kickbacks? What do you expect?

The Chairmanship of the Nigerian Labour Congress did not try at all


With all their Initial gra gra



Well
I hope Nigerian workers help themselves

Can the NLC chairman not be removed?
??

In my opinion I think Labour leaders got a juicy offer from Tinubu, if they didn’t compromise then it shows that these Labour leaders lack capacity to confront a cunning government like the one in power…. What they should’ve demanded for was for government to cut cost of governance and reverse policies that led to the terrible state of Nigeria’s economy…. They should’ve demanded for reversal of fuel subsidy removal and reversal of floating the Naira….. Tinubu and his corrupt cronies came into power to enrich themselves at the detriment of Nigerians that’s why immediately he became president, they intentionally deceived Nigerians that they can’t pay subsidies…. They sabotaged the economy to free up funds to loot…. Look at trillions of naira borrowed by Tinubu within the last 12 months…. No impact on the economy…. No transparency as to how these funds are been spent…. Tinubu and his government deceived Nigerians that removing subsidy was the best option, that it will free up funds to grow the economy…. But today things are worse than they met it…. NLC/TUC leadership should resign if they don’t know how to engage strategically with the government as millions of Nigerians workers can’t pay their bills anymore…. NLC should’ve shut down the country the day Tinubu announced fuel subsidy removal and floating of the Naira without any plans on how to manage it…. Ajaero and co failed Nigerians…. Nigerians and workers situation have been compounded by this new unrealistic N70,000 minimum wage, the best they can do now is to resign and allow competent hands to take over the affairs of the union….

The Labour leaders got a good agreement from Tinubu.

There are so many impostors in leadership positions in Nigeria…. Nigerians must rise to be counted if the situation must change for the better…. The way forward is to hold the government accountable through peaceful protests but the people must be united to achieve this…. Unfortunately there are still so many Nigerians that are selfishly tribalistic and hateful religious bigots…. It’s a pathetic situation….

Does anyone in the picture attached look like they survive on their salary?

Go to the market, check the prices of foodstuffs, and compare it to their applauded salary.

This is how you know your true leaders, and those posing as your leaders.

Funny question…. impunity is the order of the day…. Very few in positions of authority take responsibility for their actions in Nigeria…. I guess you know the answer to your question already….

Really? It will be great if you can explain how a N70,000 minimum wage can feed a family of 3 in one month in today’s economy…. The only tangible benefit the NLC chairman gave was that the new minimum wage was subject to review in 3 years time… maybe you’re not living in Nigeria to know the price of a bag of rice…. It will help if you can breakdown in detail your reasons and how the deal is a good agreement….
