Haba cry cry personal income tax is 24% in Nigeria N5400 - N22500 = paltry N17100 as total take home. And the people on minimum wages are the cleaners and drivers in government houses, stewards, cook and messengers servicing the governors and their families
Please where did you get this information from. Have you paid tax before and is that what you paid?

HAVE YOU ALL SEEN ONE OF THE REASONS WHY ...NNAMDI KANU CALLS NIGERIA A ZOO huh?


HAVE YOU ALL SEEN ONE IF THE VERY REASONS WHY.... NNAMDI KANU WANTS THE OLD EASTERN REGION TO EXIT NIGERIA AND BE A SOVEREIGN NATION huh?

NIGERIA IS A BIG SCAM .....


THERE ARE ONLY TWO OPTIONS TO SALVAGE NIGERIA

1..RESTRUCTURE NIGERIA INTO A TRUE FISCAL FEDERALISM

OR

2..SPLIT NIGERIA INTO SEVERAL SOVEREIGN NATIONS .


IN THE ABSENCE OF THESE TWO OPTIONS ABOVE, WE WILL KEEP DANCING AT THE SAME SPOT, AND KEEP LIVING IN DENIAL ...AND WILL NEVER PROGRESS AS A PEOPLE...

Rising from a meeting in Abuja on Tuesday, Governors of the 36 states of the federation have announced N22,500 as the amount they can pay workers as minimum wage.

Business Post reports that the meeting, which was held this evening, lasted about three hours.

The meeting was conveyed under the umbrella of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum headed by Governor Abdul Aziz Yari of Zamfara State.

It would be recalled that the labour unions agreed with the N30,000 minimum wage proposed by the organised private sector.

The present minimum wage in Nigeria is N18,000.

I noticed one thing, and I think we (youths) need to take note of this, they didn't shout APC or PDP at all, they didn't tell us " APC doesn't want the good of the masses" or "PDP are the cause of why we are paying such meagre sum" but these men sat down together and decided our fate without fighting, and the youths are here fighting on their behalf, Shame on all of you shouting on their behalf o

The blame for what Nigeria has become falls
on you and me. Not Buhari, not Jonathan, not
Obasanjo and definitely not Abacha.
Our wickedness stinks to the heavens as we
go about our daily lives, pulling down
everyone and everything to become rich. We
import substandard products, fake drugs and
expired baby food unfit for human
consumption and we have the nerve to
complain about leadership?
We even steal from widows, orphans, and
refugees. We take their food and sell it for
profit. No conscience. Nothing is sacred. No
one is spared. We build substandard roads,
schools, houses, hospitals, all for profit at the
expense of human life;an invaluable item
which all our profit and contract sum cannot
buy.
One would think this behavior is reserved for
urchins but it would surprise you that this is
the character of many decent looking people
who appear to be normal but are not any
better than Boko Haram members. They are
church members, Muslims, husbands, wives
and sadly youths.
We pervert justice and pretend we do not know
right from wrong just to serve our selfish
interests. Slave traders pale in comparison to
what we do to ourselves. We are wickedness
personified. So much hatred flows in our
blood and we transfer it to our children. It's
evident in what we say and do.
We have fasting and prayer sessions all year
long, night vigils and deliverance when the
actual problem is us. We simply cannot learn
to love others . It is me, me, me. That is all
that ever matters. It is sickening. Anyone who
cannot love has no business in politics,
Government and in Nigeria. Until we
understand this, we will continue on this path
of destruction.
I can Change, You can Change, They can
Change and We can Change by Sharing and
Spreading this message....Change starts with
Me....
Keep Forwarding,
pls.
Keep forwarding what? The professor is a fool. It's all about leaders setting the right tone and good examples. Hiw can each legislator cost us $550,000 a year (N100,000,000), about the highest in the world but they can't pay workers
N30,000

people fight in order to get access to contest for governorship election when they know they can't generate enough money to pay an increased minimum wage. these re d issues d candidates should be debating and discussing in view of d votes they re soliciting for.

Evil bastards.

The amount each of these ugly baboons pocket monthly as security votes is enough to pay over 5000 workers @ 50,000 minimum.

You can begin to see how we are in a huge problem with these set of imbeciles in leadership positions.

I'd rather we toss the present constitution, strip everything from top to bottom and start afresh and on a clean slate. This ain't a system of government. There's no name for it in the book.

They can pay N2,500 for all I care.

Until Nigerians hit the streets and reclaim their nation, nothing will change. Nigerians are the most timid people on earth; they deserve $1 per month as minimum wage.

Heh! You know what's funny? These same people shouting Atikulated and all sorts of rubbish, shouted the same thing when Buhari was about to enter.

Most Nigerians are sheeps. Follow the herd, easily forget, and foolish.
Your government is a scam it's just 2 sides of the same coin recycling since democracy came in. Stay there and be shouting nonesense.

Minimum wage isn't even our problem in this country. This is just chasing after the wind.

If they would rebuild our economy such that dollar to naira is like 50:1, rice comes down to 5k per bag, garri 30 bucks/mudu, government build project houses (self contain) and rent them like 50-60k per year and create a regulatory body to force property owners to build houses for rent for the common man (every rich man should build for himself) and regulate the prices of rent for people who already own estates etc. Review their salaries and cut down the sh!t, review and fix power once and for all, probably start producing toothpicks, have more responsible and sensible leaders etc.

If all this things improve, seriously one would even go to amusement park with his family with 15k as minimum wage. It won't be easy and won't happen in 4 years but, it seems like a better cause to fight for. If they increase minimum wage to 100k and our economy keeps going backwards, 10 years from now you people will be having this same conversation.

And for all the fools shouting " NLC should cripple the country" Na you go still suffer after. That phone you're using to type nonsense, you'd sell it and buy food.
Those people have stack wealth for themselves that would last 'em till their 3rd generation. And that includes the NLC administration too. Mumu Nigerians

You can see why it is unwise to be supporting all those politicians, they are all the same irrespective of the political affiliation. They are just there to enrich their own pockets and nothing more. Whether APC or PDP or any other political parties, they are just using those parties as a pedestal to get to power. Human rulership is a failure. I'm not interested in voting for anybody ; let me just keep my PVC somewhere embarassed
