Niorte:
Such an unwise statement from you. Yes they started payment in October but you may not even get the actual payment until next year.

Does this statement make sense to you?

How could you say they started payment in October and in the next line you said you won't get it in October.

Did you read this before posting?

How can you say a payment has started when you have not implement or disburse the fundshuh


Oh, Nigerians are the real problem of Nigeria.
Are you employed or self employed.

The government misbehaves because they have seen that Nigeria has huge number of people thinking in that manner. So to them, the fools overwhelm the wise

You lost the bet because you gambled on something you don't have enough information on and not because the governor has displayed lack of integrity .

Since Lagos State pays their civil servants every 23, it won't be possible for the 85k to reflect in the month of October because everything concerning this month salary has already been finalized as at the time the governor made the announcement .

Salaries in the public sector especially for states with a large working force such as Lagos state, is usually ready at least two weeks before payday and not in days


Your civil servant friend ishould have informed you of this fact if truly he is working with the Lagos state government or he explained but didn't understand what he said

A shouldn't have said it in public until completion but he wanted to look good in the eyes of the people.

I hope you're not one of Nigeria's problem. Call black, black and not brown
You seem to be the one constituting a problem for Nigeria.

If you had an idea of how these things work, you would have been better informed.

Most government payrolls are begin processing by the 10th day of the month in order to meet salary payment deadlines for that month.

Sanwolu made the announcement of increment around 16th or 17th October. The payroll for October would have already being processed to an advanced stage since salaries started dropping from 22nd of October.

So except he wanted to delay salaries, it was sensible to pay the old salary while the adjustment can commence in November then October arrears paid.

Instead of you to learn, you are here saying rubbish.

Did the Governor ever say the payment will commence in October? The answer is a capital NO.

Now let me give you an example.
It was on the day of swearing in the President declared that Subsidy is gone. Can you tell when that statement was implemented?? The answer is a capital NO.

DID YOU UNDERSTAND??
Immediately he declared, did you remember the impact of his declaration on the fuel price?

Political leaders must realize that their words carry influence and as such must be careful in their choice of words.

Don't use a present tense when a future tense is needed.

Lagos pays N85,000 as minimum wage is different from Lagos will pay N85,000 as minimum wage.

Wisdom will not kill you.

You think you know so much but you might be disappointed.

What excuse would you give if at the end of November, the payment hasn't changed.

You would look for another excuse....

You probably don't understand the meaning of INTEGRITY.

Let your YES be YES, and your NO be NO.

No excuse is tenable or acceptable for not keeping your words.

There was a man in the Bible, his name was Jephtha, he promised God that if God gave him victory in the battle he was going for. The first person to come and welcome him back home would be used as sacrifice to God. Unfortunately, his daughter was the first to come out and welcome him when he came back from the war ....

It was difficult for him, yet he went ahead to sacrifice her daughter....he didn't give excuse!

A man of integrity keeps to their words, even when it is difficult. No excuse is justifiable enough. That's integrity. Talk & Do!

What you didn't realize is that, the Governor didn't just come out to make an impromptu statement. He must have consulted and agree with the state civil service. So it was not when he said it that implementation began.

His announcement should be a ceremonial after implementation.

You don't announce plan, you announce execution and implementation as a Governor.

Lol.

Lagos has been paying minimum wage of 70k since January or February... so he announcing an increase to 85k is just a recognition of the realities, though it is still grossly inadequate.

And I do not recall him saying exactly when he would start paying the 85k.

But like I pointed out earlier, if you knew how structured organisations worked, you would know increases don't just get implemented immediately. There are processes.

Comparing a government to an individual in the Bible who was for all intents and purposes, an absolute mornarch, tells a lot about your exposure and understanding of administration.

I am replying your msg with all sense of seriousness n I have to tell that you are an exceedingly foolish soul.

Reason 1 - There as been several salary increment in Nigeria was any ever implemented with the month the governor declared such ?

2. Sanwolu had previously increased salary during Buhari tenure was that promised implemented with 3 good months after he made the declaration ?

Going by the above 2 issues I stated I reiterate that you have to be an exceedingly and extremely foolish n senseless human being to bet on that. The antecedent of all n every former governors Nigeria governor from not just 1999 but since 1960 never implement salary increase same month such announcement was made why on Earth do you think the crop of failures now with Sanwolu that recently fail such declaration is worth betting on not to repeat such ?!

Will you shut your foolish mouth. You are only out to soil the governor name. Which governor in the history of Nigeria implemented salary increase same month it was declared ?!



Niorte:
This is not a matter of policy but a declarative statement from the number one man in the most populous state in West Africa.

Stop giving excuses for lack of integrity.
Exactly what I tot but if you were explicit they will claim you are a tribalist.

No. That's not how it works
Minimum wage is law which everyone is already aware of.

Moreover,the governor is not operating his personal business.He's responsible to the people of Lagos state who elected him and not just the civil servants .



And so, whatever plans he has to execute especially when it comes to the issue of salary, which is definitely going to impact on the state finances, must be announced first to the hearing of everyone in the state , circular issued to those in charge of salaries before it's implemented . This is the process and not what you think should be done.

This isn't the first time minimum wage has been increased in this country . The process of implementation has not changed.

It takes only a matured and educated person to argue for or against on a public forum without resulting into abuse or insult.

Because I am above and beyond you, I won't result to insulting you. Just know that you can make your point of view known without insults. People would like you for it. But because you're not trained to use superior arguments to win a discourse, you resulted to insults.

Back to the real issue.
The governor has shown lack of integrity in that he stated by implication that Lagos has started paying N85,000 which was found not to be true.

We don't care what the process is all about. When you use present tense when you ought to use future tense, then that's a lie.

I have a car is not the same as I am in the process of buying a car.

We pay N85,000 minimum wage is not the same as We are going to pay N85,000 minimum wage.

I understand that you are paid to defend and speak good of the Governor online but on this matter, you have no valid point.

And since you've debased yourself my resulting into insult. I won't give you a response again on this matter.

Stay responsible

No sorry for you cus you bet foolishly.

I am sure you are not aware that such pronouncement will have to go through what is called due process before it can be implemented.

Many of your type who doesn't understand how Governance work will be quick to condemn and criticize.

I HOPE YOU FOLLOWED THE INVESTMENT RULE ANYWAY, AND NOT THAT YOU BET WITH GREED.
HE'S lying. He didn't bet 10kobo
