NLC betrayed Nigerians.

Tinubu is the president of 35% of Nigerians. That is the vote he got in the election. Over 65% of Nigerians did not vote for Tinubu.

Today, that number of people who did not vote for Tinubu and who don't like Tinubu because of his wicked and senseless leadership has risen to over 80%...the desire to loot the nations resources and spend the resources on frivolities by people in Tinubu's government is not helping matters.

Tinubu is a disaster that should never have happened to Nigeria

Show us the receipt of the money paid to them or this na bunkum

Carry your cross.
Stop linking Igbos to the protest. Igbos have nothing to do with the protest.
Enjoy the president you voted for.

No problem. Enjoy your hunger protest and president.
Just stop mentioning Igbos

If NLC had stood up to the wicked president Tinubu and insisted on a living wage that is commensurate with the rate of inflation and naira depreciation then people won't be protesting today.

You have just shown that you only brought out your phone to type out of emotion without thinking in circumspect. The summary of your talk is SALARY. so SALARY is the solution to Nigerian problems?

Will salary fix refineries and stop importation of fuel, stop killing of farmers, political genocides, illegal mining, horrible education, Non-stop Kidnapping, herdsmen attack, corruption without penalties, lack of food and water in villages?
In 2024, Just one step out of main city and you will lack water and electricity.
Why should we be having Band A and B & even E? Electricity segregation and yet we are still using same hydropower of over 50 years. is it not a shame?

Learn to question your own argument before you bring it in public.

You lack comprehension.

There are immediate and remote causes for the protest.

The immediate problem people are facing today is the inability to meet their immediate needs from whatever they earn since employers still pay based on a minimum wage that is completely in dissonance from present day cost of living.

Yes, the government ought to introduce subsidy or massively supply dangote with crude oil to encourage flooding of market with pms to bring down the price.

Yes, the government ought to fix Nigeria's exchange rate while discouraging all forms of backdoor access to forex given that Nigeria's still highly import dependent and we don't even have the technological foundation to be self reliant.

There are many yeses I can highlight and point out.

My point is NLC as an organisation is the first official uniform voice for Nigeria's labour force to air their opinion and hold the government accountable to the people and the working class.

But NLC as presently constituted is now in bed with the government, collecting brown envelopes and living the people to fight for themselves.

Even a complete fool can tell that going by exchange rate alone, the previous minimum wage was worth around $93. But today, the minimum wage NLC agreed to is less than $43.

Are we supposed to be going back as a nation?

I'm sure if all Nigerian workers are allowed to vote on NLC decision they will never vote to accept N70,000 minimum wage when there's no fuel subsidy, electricity tariff has been increased and everything in the market has increased by at least 300%.

So, whose interest is the NLC representing?

The NLC had the opportunity to hold the government accountable and bring the government to listen and do what is right by the people. But useless NLC and TUC presidents and their colleagues collected brown envelopes and kept quiet, leaving the people to fend for themselves.

The people have now organised themselves to protest against the government. Unfortunately it'll be difficult to articulate and contain the agitation of Nigerian protesters now because everyone will be speaking at the same time while generally demanding for similar things

You lack comprehension.

The summary of your original post was about salary. What else is there to comprehend?

You failed to answer - Will increase of minimum wage (salary) to $100USD fix refineries and stop importation of fuel, stop killing of farmers, political genocides, illegal mining, horrible education, Non-stop Kidnapping, herdsmen attack, corruption without penalties, lack of food and water in villages?

It's no more Ndigbo and Peter Obi

Ha ha ha
Ọchị eze 😂😂😂😂

LandMann:
Imagine an organisation that is supposed to fight for the rights and welfare of Nigerian workers now betraying the people they represent by collecting bribes and agreeing to a minimum wage that isn't in consonance with cost of living.

If NLC had stood up to the wicked president Tinubu and insisted on a living wage that is commensurate with the rate of inflation and naira depreciation then people won't be protesting today.

I'm sure the NLC and TUC presidents believe the bullet proof car they now drive courtesy of government brown envelopes will save them and their families when the time comes.

I look at the protest and I'm disappointed
Nigerians are just having fun

They are not angry enough

I'm happy my Igbo brothers and sisters decided not to protest

When Nigerians are ready we would know the signs would be obvious

Your question is rhetorical and only fools ask rhetorical question.

Now that I have expanded and provided context to my initial post, why are you still hellbent on finding answers to your rhetorical questions? Is it because you are a fool?

Does your rhetorical questions change the fact that NLC and TUC are now extensions of the corrupt Nigerian government instead of representatives of the working populace in Nigeria?

They've been stirring the pot for too long.

NLC is always ready to jump on any bandwagon that promises to disrupt the peace.

When will they realize that these protests only lead to chaos and nothing productive?

Instead of solving issues, they are fanning the flames.

Seriously? Only fools do that? In what night school did you learn that?

I asked you a question and just because you can not answer, you conveniently classified it as rhetoric? What a clever guy you are. 👍🏽

This narrative is flawed because only 28% of registered voters participated in the election. Even if a candidate won all 25 million votes cast, they would still lack support from 68 million registered voters who did not vote.

You are mentioning minimum wage? How many Nigerians are in paid employment?

You salary earners are quite selfish and think about yourselves alone.
