No problems.

My sales boy for my frozen food store will now be placed on 70k...

However to meet up, I have to increase the cost of my goods, or I sack him and stay in the shop myself whenever I'm free
You see?


This is one of the reasons why I always say Nigerians are the most wicked people on earth.

When your income has not increased and living cost at 400% where do u expect the 70k to come from? Not everyone has their fingers on stolen oil blood money sir

The majority of those people can start selling groundnut and perishable goods and make three to four thousand per day. How much do you think people selling pure water make per day?
#1500 per day. Then Agbero will collect #500 from them. Then it reduced to #1000 per day. Aswear if people selling groundnuts make up to 3k to 4k per day, everybody will be into the business today. I've been into stuffs like that in the past and I know how much agbero charge us per day. You will end up only making money for the government/agbero.

People would be able to afford the increased cost because their salaries are up, purchase power is up, its a circle

[quote author=Goodvibes007 post=131126860][/quote]the problem is not paying the gateman. It is him using that 70k to get another wife.

Where I did my IT, my boss friend was relocating. So his faithful driver eventually became jobless. Oga bought Keke napep for him. To start driving and earning. The mumu sold it less than the cost price and went to marry another wife with the money

Before you guys chase private employers and such, let us see how many governors will pay this money.


Akpabio talked thrash.


This new minimum wage was hurriedly passed because of the upcoming protest

When labour were pushing for these minimum wage, small enterprise owners did not know they'll be under the new law


I welcome the law

I wonder how people don't know that this drunken SP is indirectly soliciting for increment in their own allowances too. They are the ones having domestic servants, drivers and other people doing menial works for them in their homes, farms and industries etc. All these people, they are to pay them privately from their purse but they will pad their wages into their own allowances. At the end of day, they will get the money but they will never pay the #70k to these people.

Then why employ others if you are not making up to 70,000 a month? I’m confused.
If we can't pay that amount and we sack them hope you and the govt have work and enough space to accommodate them?
Re: You Cannot Pay Your Gateman Or Driver Below N70,000 - Senate President by lawani(m): 12:26pm On Jul 25, 2024
The hall mark of an organized economic space is that minimum wage is not determined by the free market.

I said it here once the minimum wage is increased prices of goods and services will triple but one idiot here quoted me.

For me to pay Nkechi 70k, I have to triple my price.

They are also increasing their salaries. All these senators are toying with our intelligence.
Re: You Cannot Pay Your Gateman Or Driver Below N70,000 - Senate President by Waterbear(m): 1:25pm On Jul 25, 2024
That's how they bring corruption
If you're a tailor you can pay what ever you agree with your driver n gate man cause you are not the government..
Minimum wage is for public servants alone or public registered companies..
It means everyone working in PUBLIC OFFICE or public registered companies that are eligible to list and sell shares to the public, no worker should be paid below Minimum wage...

It has nothing to do with a tailor or private entrepreneur..
Nigerians try have brain small...

It is greediness that's the problem of private business owners in Nigeria. If you make profit of say 20k daily for 26days, you'll have 520k. If you pay your sales boy 70k and maybe spend extra 100k for other monthly costs and reinvest 100k, you'll have 250k left.

Mind you, I am just being modest with figures here because I know that many businesses generate more profits than I stated above.

But they all want to live in opulence while their employees suffer like slaves!
Lolzzz...
Masses reaping one another dey shout government Everytime... Lol
Re: You Cannot Pay Your Gateman Or Driver Below N70,000 - Senate President by thadotech(m): 1:55pm On Jul 25, 2024
So this means that my POS staff sef go demand for N70,000.00?

Akpabio had just triggered a time bomb to finish Nigerians.

They are always strategic in their official duty only to cause confusion.

How can a senate president not read through minimum wage Act before saying things anyhow.

True we all want to make money but how can a business that is struggling in this economy pay N70,000.00 to even 10 workers when there had been no stability in the economy.

For instance, someone who runs a restaurant and buys everything expensive presently and then there was increase in minimum wage so I would take money out of the "no profit income" and pay workers then borrow to continue the business?

Chaiiii Na who do us like this?
