Are all of you mad? Jesus Christ save us o. Nigerians can keep fooling themselves over party loyalties till you begin to eat from the dustbin.
Simple maths = petrol at 300/ litre at a minimum of 4 litres per day(transport to work + light from i pass my neighbor gen) = 1200 × 30 days = 36,000.
Feeding, clothing, etc goes where? And 18 quid is hard to pay?? Devil has written text book o

To me, the governors are not the lazy ones but the civil servants who are the acclaimed professionals and technocrats that failed to advice the governors appropriately and putting effort to make sure government programmes works.

Have anyone been close to a top civil servant... you will agree with me that that they don't take their job serious with attitudes like - I no go die for Nigeria, incessant absence from work, eye service and lots more.

The governors just political leaders though I'm not shielding them from blames either.

The civil servants have to brace up to the fact that hard times awaits them. They have been enjoying all through and AIDING CORRUPTION.

We heard Fashola with his lame defence that he does not sign checks.

voltron:
So since the past 55 years you did not know that this will be the result of all your collective idiocy and our collective ignorance. Now you want to CHANGE when it is tooooo late for CHANGE.. the only way this country will survive the coming plague of poverty and despondence is for something like EBOLA to wipe 100 million Nigerians so at least we can spread the burden to 60 million. the other alternative is to stop making unnecessary babies we cannot feed, educate or employ.

Goodluck Jonathan was so corrupt as they said but more vibrant economy, no Governor complain of money but just under six month of buhari term every Nigerians are crying.APC is death on arival believe me.

ABUJA – Thirty-six States Governors have said that they can no longer pay the N18,000 minimum wage to workers owing to the poor state of the economy.



Rising from a crucial meeting on that ended at the early hours of Thursday at the Old Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja under the umbrella of Nigerian Governors Forum, NGF, the governors said that the dwindling prices of oil had drastically affected their States’ income.

Specifically, they said that the burden of the wage was lighter when oil sold at $126 as against the current $41 per barrel.

They therefore sought to have audience with President Muhammadu Buhari on the economy, resolving that the only way out of the quagmire was to diversify the economy to agriculture and mining.

Reading the communique issued at the end of the meeting, the Chairman of the Forum and governor of Zamfara state, Abdulaziz Yari hinted that the Forum also backed the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) over the N2.1trillion sanction on MTN.

According to him, the governors agreed that the fine must be paid in full.

He said that they received briefing from the Acting Executive Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of NCC, Professor Umar Dambata who explained the matter to them.

He said: “We resolved that we must look at ways to enhance revenue generation and at the same time look at ways to cut our overhead costs more especially the political office holders’ salaries and other overhead expenses.

“The situation is no longer the same when we were asked to pay N18,000 minimum wage, when oil price was $126 (per barrel) and continued paying N18,000 minimum wage when the oil is $41 and the source of government expenditure is from oil, and we have not seen prospects in the oil industry in the near future.

“We will diversify our economy in the area of agriculture and mining. But at the same time, we should understand our situation where some of us (states) today are taking N100million take home (monthly allocation) and then have salaries in particular of over N2billion to pay.

“We therefore agreed here to take this suggestion to NEC in our meeting tomorrow (Thursday) so that we can be able to find ways to tackle this problem.

We warned them but they threatened us with brooms.
We countered their lies, they branded us wailing wailers.
The South westerners connived with their slave masters to remove a peaceful man and impose an illiterate dictator who is also a terrorist on us.


I am Happy because I wasn't part of the people that brought this abomination upon this nation.

This is just the beginning of four years of drought and poverty in this Country. Enjoy your change while it lasts.
