Stop confusing people.. If min wage is 70k not everyone will earn 70k
.only level 1 government workers will earn that amount. There are some government workers that will earn more than 1m monthly

Most secondary school teachers will earn atleast 250k monthly

But we should expect price of goods and foodstuff to multiply if that happens... So the min wage is useless
Not true that prices of goods and services will multiply everywhere. This not the first time minimum wage has been increased in Nigeria and each in the past,it was only marginal increase in some goods and services that resulted from it.

If you disagree with what I just explained then provided data from the past in support of your wild speculations about what you expect to happen.

Inflation is caused by a combination of factors, not minimum wage alone.

using 77k to manage within 31 days is hell.
Bills are just too many.
Funny enough 77k fit finish only on feeding
for self. If 77k finish on just feeding alone. Then you're your problem.

Increasing minimum wage to 70k does it help the matter?

My suggestion any Nigerian should find a means to earn in dollars or find a steady cash flow system that can generate income atleast 50k daily should go along way instead of depending on the so called minimum wage (70K)

I'm not your financial adviser DO YOU OWN RESEARCH
I hate listening to online financial advisor. Promised this and that. Some even pledged to build mansion on the oceans. If there is any crypto expert apart from 419 teach me in a rough way. All Ears.

Inflation is caused by a combination of factors, not minimum wage alone.
Inflation is primarily caused by excess money in circulation leading to high level demand with low level of supply. country like Nigeria that relies on 90% imported goods is fighting against multiple types of inflation. The more we import the weaker the Naira gets and that leads to astronomical prices of goods and services.

Your statement above is wrong and the evidence is simple:

In 2011, minimum wage went from 5,500 to 18,000, cost of building supplies, petrol and other imported products rose between 20 to 40%. In 2019, minimum wage went from 18,000 to 30,0000 and we witnessed even worse inflation, from 50% to as much as 200%. I know this because I built my first house in 2017 costing less than 80 million Naira and in 2021 when I wanted to build my second house with the same style and materials, the total cost was over 150 million.

Now we want to go from 30,000 to 70,000 and we expect just a marginal increase in goods and services.....NO BE JUJU BE THAT?

The recent announcement by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu approving a new minimum wage of ₦70,000 has sparked widespread discussions and speculations across Nigeria.

Among the many conversations, a pressing question for many young Nigerians is: Will the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) allowance be increased to ₦70,000?
Allawee is allowance and not salary. So don't expect increment and even if there's any it won't be at par with the new minimum wage.

What you receive in NYSC is not a wage but a stipend. So I don't think it falls under minimum wage thing.

Goodluck with that expectation. No one sets up a business just to pay salary. I think contract hourly jobs will become the norm.

NYSC pays allowance not salary. Also, it's a short term commitment (1 year) so I doubt if it's covered in the agreement so it's up to the government to decide on that separately.

If NYSC allowance increases to 70k, it will be a big disgrace to employees like private school teachers and those who work in one-man businesses. Just imagine a youth corp member earning 70k while you earn 30k or 40k. There is no dignity in poverty.
Private schools still pay 30, 40k as salaries?
Monthly salaries? At these times?
This was the same rate they paid some 10 years ago..

When some labour people are shouting minimum wage as 500k per month I keep laughing because to us everything is politics and not reality even the 70k they claim it's not enough

The basis of minimum wage is you dare not pay below that, knowing fully well that you can't pay cleaners 70k and you expect your graduate core staff 80k you will be paying them minimum of 150k

Definitely. That's part of the effect.
NYSC allowance should increase to 100k.
It may only take longer time to implement. Like next 3 years grin

💥 *If you are going to join any protest next week or so ever, it is good but ask yourself these questions:*

1. Why is Lagos always their target? How about starting from your state?

2. Why do we even leave federal capital and focus on Lagos?

3. Is President, Senate president and Speaker the owner of those targeted industries and hubs in Lagos?

4. Where would those who lost their jobs to the burnt factories, industries and businesses during the protest start from?

5. ⁠Do you know Shoprite Stores at Lekki, Adeniran Ogunsanya, Awoyaya were completely looted and burnt in the wake of the EndSars protest but Computer Village was spared from all the destructions? Think deeply.

6. ⁠while BRT buses at Ojota and Ebutte Metta were burnt, none of the luxurious buses at Yaba & Jibowu, traveling to the Eastern region was destroyed.

* Terrorism is currently on going in South East, where their people are forced to sit down at home every Monday, no protest about that.
* Some of their children missed WAEC exams , in the name of sir at home, no protest about that
* Four out of their five governors are still paying #18k minimum wage, no protest about that.
* Businesses are collapsing because of sit at home, no protest about that
* Weddings and burial are being done outside their region, instead of home, no protest about that.
* They pay IPOB millions of dues before they can have anything or ceremony done in their region, no protest about that.

*Be a good Nigerian, be positive and wise in your thinking .*

*Don't be a destroyer of the little good things we have*

*May God assist us to fix Nigeria*🙏🤲

Hold your Representatives responsible and leave Government properties alone…

This is a great message! It's important to hold elected representatives accountable for their actions and decisions, and to respect government properties and public spaces.

Holding representatives accountable means:

- Since you Voted responsibly You have a right to ask them questions
- Attending town hall meetings and speaking up
- Contacting representatives with concerns and opinions
- Demanding transparency and accountability

And When I say leave government properties alone means:

- Respecting public buildings and spaces

- Not vandalizing or damaging property

- Following rules and regulations

- Keeping public areas clean and safe

By doing so, we can contribute to a more responsible and respectful community!

*Please be warned. Leave Lagos out if your plan 🧏‍♀️*

Any bastards joining children of hatred against Nigeria will be treated the same.
You can kill yourself for all we care to escape seeing the brutality of the protest, try and show your face to spew this trash on the first day or when we have gained ground...... it's still our duty to send zombies like you to hell for others to advance

The NYSC pay is an allowance not a wage, hence I don't think the minimum wage will have any effect on this. My opinion though.

Lolz
U are funny.
If private schools must increase their salaries, they will have to do that by increasing school fees of students and thereby still dragging the small 70k from parents under minimum wage😂
U see say Tinubu na big failure.
Bring food items down, reduce price of PMS.
Subsidies many basic things and see Nigeria change.

So private schools paying 40k is not their fault.

Allowance is not salary/wage. NYSC is not a job, it is a program for a specific period.
