Fujiyama:

The clearest 'in house' acknowledgement yet of BAT's mishandling of the economy.

Another upward review of the minimum wage in 2 years by the same administration? What does that tell you?

It tells us that president aBAT is a clueless clown who is using balablu bulaba magical propaganda to sell renewed hopelessness to his korofo followers.

May Day: Hunger, unemployment, insecurity real— Tinubu

According to him: “The theme demands our collective attention and serves as a stark reminder of the need to create an environment where every worker feels safe, valued, and empowered to contribute to the growth and prosperity of our nation. As your President, I assure you that this administration is committed to creating such an environment for the common good.”

On the economic hardship, he noted that while it is a global phenomenon, its effects on Nigerians are particularly severe.

Tinubu said: “I am aware of the peculiarities of the economic hardship Nigerians face—rising living costs, hunger, insecurity, unemployment, and the loss of livelihoods. These challenges are real and demand definitive solutions, which I am poised to address as your President.

There are more Nigerians working in the private sector than in the civil service. So FG should consider the private sector also.

According to a worker, they have not been paid their 70,000 wage award arrears the gunment signed into law since last year.

Me: even the 70,000 current minimum wage is nothing but abracadabra. That is, the more U look, the less U see

A wicked and heartless man. He arm-twisted the labour unions to accept 70k and maintain subsidy. After agreement he removed subsidy completely and worsen the living conditions of Nigerian workers.

Election is approaching now, he now wants to use minimum wage to buy workers to vote for him.

Upward review of civil servants' minimum wage may increase the purchasing power of some civil servants with its multiplier effects reaching business people but if FG is focusing on civil servants alone it is a little drop in the mighty ocean out of population of more than 250million Nigerians.

And since they claimed they have stopped paying subsidy, where is the accountability? And why are they still borrowing money, and not building refineries?

Whenever some people open their mouths to say that 200k or even 300k is not realistic, I always sense people who are still very gullible and are already affected by stark poverty. Because I don't understand how the senators will be earning in millions and even some people lay hold on billions many times in a month and then you think ordinary citizens are not entitled to 300k monthly, which is still not going to be sufficient in the cities where things are very costly.

That’s true.

Re: Tinubu Will Review ₦70,000 Minimum Wage – Gbajabiamila by lawani(m): 9:22pm On Jun 25

Any company that can't pay minimum wage should seek special permission. They can be able to pay lower but they should pay payroll tax on all wages before PIT

Any employer not granted permission to pay a bit lower than minimum wage should not be able to do so because what is the essence of a minimum wage that is not enforced outside government work?

The payroll tax can go to the FG since states are not interested in revenue yet. They will always get their PAYE when they are ready

More inflation from clueless charlatans. Instead of ensuring the currency appreciates, all other oil producers have used the windfall from the recent wars and high oil prices to stabilize their currencies, ours is all stories.
In another year as they cause more inflation, they will have to increase salaries again.

Number 3 isn't possible. You have to consider how much cement is being sold in near peer countries by cost of living or per Capita income. India, Ethiopia, Bangladesh and etc. You can't get cement that cheap

DO U KNOW DAT
A 25000% DEVALUATION OF THE NAIRA IN JUST 33YRS IS D PRICE NIGERIA PAID FOR AN ILLUSION OF CHEAP PETROL

DO U ALSO KNOW THAT MOST WEST AFRICAN COUNTRIES WHO USE THE CFA DO NOT PAY SUBSIDY..

IN 1990
1 DOLLAR = #8 NAIRA
WHILE
1DOLLAR = 274 CFA

AFTER 33YEARS OF FUEL SUBSIDY WEIGHT ON THE NAIRA

BY 2023
1 DOLLAR = 2000 NAIRA
WHILE
1 DOLLAR = 530 CFA

IN 33YRS NAIRA FELL BY 25000%
WHILE CEPHA FELL BY JUST 90%

OUR FADAS THOUGHT THEY WHERE BUYING CHEAP FUEL
WHILE IN REALITY DEY WHERE BURNING AWAY THE FUTURE
