There is no way you can fight corruption when people are not earning enough to take care of their basic needs . You will see Christian’s and Muslims alike collecting bribes and stealing in government offices. They have no choice. Pastors and Imams too keep quiet because they get their own from the funds. They are all in survival mode. Now imagine someone who grew in the ranks of corruption to the point of becoming a director . He or she is thinking of how to survive after service . She will steal and steal to ensure she survives beyond civil service work when they see first hand what happens to less fortunate retired workers as they fight and die miserably for their pension.They have seen their superiors do it . It is the unspoken tradition .

Regarding Labour leaders , the day workers have had enough , they will beat these set of useless labour leadership to a pulp . They are thieves and part of the corrupt system.

OBJ is speaking from experience, because that might be what was being done when he was at the saddle.

[sub][/sub]
Tinubu is not paying workers any minimum wage.
40k was added to workers salaries as palliative and even taxed.
The situation is a difficult one for any worker that don't have access to steal or whose conscience does not permit such.
One thing I know is that evil does not last forever. It will surely come to an end.

OBJ is right on this one. I have always said Labour leaders are thieves and worse than the government.

Oga items of things are dripping already .

He's actually right. Corper's are still been paid 33k which at the end of the day will drop to 28k or so after paying transportation to CDS, CDS monthly due and project, this country is just OYO for our leaders, they don't care, I pity cor-members.

I pity d youth corper n even d 77k isn't enuff. Our leaders r so self centred.

Jungleluv5:
Baba please with due respect sir don't say anything about this government because
1 you introduce do or die elections
2 anyone that says anything about you efcc will takeover
3 how many times did you increase salaries
3 many elections fraud was committed under you
Baba don't be a saint now.

how is this relevant to the topic at hand
Don't rush to defend, go and do research so will be able to shoot down this blemish on your Tinubu the wicked slave master

bewisemasses:
Forget his name, forget his tribe, forget his antecedent. Forget ur little stipends; forget ur tribe. Focus on d msg using ur conscience then U'll see that he is telling d truth.
Remember even d 70k some r not even receiving like corp members and private workers

Oga even if it's 150k it's only civil servant that will benefit from it and d rest masses will suffer with hike in price of food items and d likes and only civil servant will enjoy the money 🤔

Yet thousands of private workers will lose their jobs because employee can't afford to pay so who is at d loosing end 🤔


This is what Tinubu is saying in regarding to that..

Now judge yourself

Amen, but we the people still need to do something to rescue ourselves

id4sho:
Corpers are yet to be paid minimum wage .
Nigeria is the hell . APC miscreants will still support this

Joe Ajaero na crook, that his red eyes sef na red flag

..if a corper can collect minimum wage what about graduates in private schools earning just 25k per month 🤔

You think d government are not smart 🤓

Bhella5:
How much is baba paying his staff at Ota Farms? Baba rest.

Don't mind him

He can easily criticize leadership and he was once in the sit too why can't he transform Nigeria to UK then .

They are all birds with similar feathers if not same mtheew

By 2027 another review will be done. Baba should calm down.

Even the poor minimum wage of 75,000 naira, have the criminal regime of Bola Tinubu been able to pay it completely without compromise?


Baba you follow for the problem, if you had removed this looting machine as Lagos Governor in 2003, Nigeria wouldn't have been this damaged the way it is today, so I and all well meaning Nigerians are not happy with u sir

He tried, Atiku and co shielded him. Same Atiku now is trying to depose him with little chance of success.

Trust any word that comes out of Tinubu and the APC at your own peril.

WAKE-UP CALL, NIGERIANS!

Did you know that the current minimum wage of ₦70,000 is equivalent to just $41?

Compare that to 2014 when ₦18,000 was equivalent to $98!

It's time for a change! The minimum wage should be at least ₦160,000 to match the purchasing power of ₦18,000 in 2014.

You guys are going too far.

What was minimum wage in 2015 coverted to USD?

What about 2018 up to 2022?

This man came and turned everything upside down.

One of the many reasons he was called a terrible leader!

You more than quadrupled the cost of living as a result of your economic policies and only doubled minimum wage (which many claim they don't even receive)

Tell me how it is mathematically possible for people to survive... But no... External reserves have increased, exports are at all time high and other nonsense achievements!

As for labor, nobody fights for everyone. In Nigeria, if you see someone who claims to be fighting for everyone, you'll soon realise he was only fighting for his stomach

Sermwell:
I don't blame the labour leaders at all but stupid Nigerians.! If these labour leaders had genuinely wanted to fight for the people, majority of stupid Nigerians would have accused them of being political.
Just imagine what they did to the NLC president when he appeared to be fighting for the masses. These same masses accused him of alot of things, and even beat him up on some occasions! This terrible government accused him of housing terrorists and the stupid masses cheered!
Just look at what's happening to the young corper now! Some stupid masses are already attacking her!!
I don't blame the NLC president jare! Collect your own share of the loot from thiefnubuu and enjoy joor

It's terrible bro.

I support him on this

jojothaiv:
Gbam!

He's right, you see the government are also not a saint in this case too.

See Mumu talk by you!
Your hate and unseriouness - should shame you.
When did this govt started enjoying 70K? What was the last raise of Money to the Union Members - during OBJ Era?
So, the govt should just be -printing Money 🤑 for the Workers- without corresponding - Productivity,abi?
-When last did your Union ( NLC) fought the Govt hands down- on NEPA/DISCOS - for creating More Darkness in Nigeria- in 21st-Century?
-The Today's NLC - led by Ajaero - has been Political - now ,you want to tell Nigerian Workers - to be used against the Govt,No Way?
-How has your NLC and OBJ - been Accountable during their time?
Baba , OBJ - is an already Old,so we wish him well,but for 12v- years, in Govt- he couldn't tarred the Lagos -Abeokuta Road yet,here is President Tinubu - just 2- years- in govt,making - In- Roads to Many -Abandoned Roads - all over Nigeria-that were left - for 16 - years by Obasanjo and Atiku( PDP- and GEJ - compatriots- which Makes Nigerians to see a harrowing experience on the Roads - Infrastructures: e.g,
- the East- West Roads,
- the Lagos - Ibadan--Express Roads-that your OBJ - awarded to Lawyer but they couldn't not leave Berger- Bus Stop in performance.
- NOW- THE LAGOS- Calabar Coastal Highways Ways, going on Steadily.
Papa OBJ,you betrayed Nigerians more,as No-Nigerian -supposed to JAPA - If you had fixed- Power Sector,
-Fixed our Roads Infrastructures,
-Fixed Our Health Care Delivery and,
-Fixed Agricultural Development as well as Industrial Development.
I beg,make Una park somewhere else.

75k minimum wage. Hmmm... How much is a bag of rice?
So minimum wage that is not even being paid cannot buy 1 bag of rice. No be juju be dat?

Only thief can trace the direction of the footsteps of other thieves on the rock surface

Oshiomole get this sub, "labour leader negotiating with a political party to be adopted as gubernatorial candidate"

Sheuns:


Watch as some sycophantic slaves will come to tell us how much minimum wage was during Obj’s tenure as president.

What they will fail to factor into consideration is what the purchasing power of the currency was then compared to now.

Also they won’t tell us how Obj increased minimum wage by 1100% from N250 to N3000 between 1999-2000 and another 150% increase to N7,500 naira in 2004.

Obj is no saint, no doubt, but you can’t take away the fact that he’s still the best president we’ve had since 1999.

be telling stories your father cannot tell,who told you OBJ increased wages from 250 to 3000?,how old were you in when OBJ was president?

Something is cooking, 2027 will be very hot

Birds of the same feather

Using Nigeria welfare to play wickedness...

This are deliberate attempts from the pit of hell .. to frustrate, eliminate and oppress ..

The good people of Nigeria...

What was the minimum wage obasanjo paid when he was president?

The pension crisis and the shortchanging of retirees by pension funds administrator was caused by obasanjo. So he's part of the problem leading to the low life of Nigeria workers and pensioners.

So, Baba should stop claiming to be workers friendly after all we know his minimum wage in his farm.

Smooyis:
Suffering and Smiling. Our leaders are heartless

Look at how much they say Obasa budgeted for SUVs. They are very wicked!

Ajaero has not defended workers interests well enough. I don't know if he always capitulates under the weight of this blackmailing government.

If I will vote in the next election, I will still vote for a Yoruba candidate. Why?

The tribe doesn't play tribalism.... Many Yoruba's are criticizing Tinubu for not doing well. This was what the hausas called Haram during Buhari Regime

Never allow those hausa to take the position of the presidency, because it's Haram for them to talk bad of the government weather he's right or wrong

othermen:
A nation’s progress is measured by the dignity of its people. But in Nigeria today, dignity is a luxury that only the privileged can afford. The minimum wage is #70,000per month, yet the cost of living tells a different story - it tells a story of struggle, desperation, and systemic neglect.

How does a worker survive on #70,000 when a basic plate of food costs at least #1,500, when a liter of fuel costs #900. The math is unforgiving. Fifteen days of eating a single meal would deplete an entire month’s wage. And this is before rent, clothing, healthcare, or even the most basic necessities of life are considered. What, then, of those with families?

Basic fruits like oranges, mangoes, bananas that were once a common delight, are now luxuries reserved for the wealthy. The working class no longer ask for variety, they ask for survival.

From Lagos to Onitsha to Kano, mothers sit in cab shuttles, cradling two children on their laps, because paying for an extra seat is unthinkable. Bikes meant for one now carry two, sometimes three, passengers, everybody risking their lives just to make it to work.

The working class cannot afford band A areas. So they stay in their slums bedeviled by erratic supply of electricity which further makes their life unbearable. A professor can’t afford to provide power for his family as the cost of fuel has risen beyond his reach, and forcing him and all in his neighborhood to abandon their generators.

It’s night, and everywhere, it is loudest, the silence of a people robbed of their right to basic comfort.

So where is NLC and TUC and ASUU? Where are the labour unions, the supposed shield of the working class? The union was meant to stand in defense of the people, to fight against suffering. Instead, it has stood by, watching in silence as workers drown in poverty, conceding for their own private pockets or in the case of ASUU, conceding for their bruised ego. They have to placate this irresponsible government. I agree with President Obasanjo, the labour movement has failed its people, and they may have all the words, but we know they are a union of inaction.

A union that does not fight for fair wages, for humane living conditions which is dependent on wages, such a union is a betrayal!!! It has allowed itself to be weakened, compromised, and rendered toothless. But the people cannot wait for salvation from those who refuse to act.

To the men and women struggling every day, your silence will not save you. The weight of this injustice imposed by this Buhari and Tinubu’s administration will not lift itself. You must demand better wages, better conditions, better leadership. You must speak not just in whispers among yourselves, but in the streets, in the offices, in every place where power resides.

I remember Fela’ suffering and smiling. History has shown that change does not come to those who suffer quietly, it comes to those who refuse to be ignored. Tinubu would not grant you a fair wage out of kindness, your union would not advocate for you as they should… they do so when the people force their hand.

And so, to the young woman, the corper,
Miss Ushie Uguamaye who has raised her voice, we hear you. There is no greater service to the people of this country. I honour your courage and pray that your fire ignite a movement too strong to be silenced.

To the rest of us, Speak. Protest!!! The time for silence is over. The time for depression is over. The It is depression imposed by a society that has condemned entire families to the diaspora.

In the university, everywhere you turn, there is only one dream left for our professors- to leave. To flee this land and seek dignity elsewhere, even if it means becoming a slave in a foreign country. How much worse for the common folks??

People do not leave their homes because they want to. They leave because they have been failed by leadership that offers them no hope, no future, no way to build a meaningful life. They leave because the streets whisper a cruel truth: "Your children will suffer if they stay." And so, the exodus continues, the young, the strong, the skilled rushing to lands that do not welcome them, but at least offer them a chance to survive.

As Fashek sang, “no more sorrow.”

hmmmmm!!!!
