Jonathan:
Shut up

Gandollar:
So you expect him to reel out his own game plan to you and your clueless government Abii? It doesn't work that way.

Sirjamo:
Why didn't he reel it out to President Jonathan? he worked for him as his economic adviser.

The truth is, there's no quick solutions to Nigeria's problems whether from Buhari or Obi.

It requires careful planing and meticulous execution over a period longer than one term of office, that's why even the Atiku plan is structured for six years.

dunkem21:
Then give them N30k and force the governors to pay.. Since he can't mediate between the two parties.

Peter Obi will dialogue and get a price suitable for NLC and the state governments.. That is why he smartly didn't quote any figure.

RexTramadol1:
Smiles, what if I tell you that Lagos can't pay the 30k, will you believe?


But that's the reality!


18k sef, Lagos is hardly paying it cos instead of paying it as basic salary, they deduct from it in form of tax again


Ask any Lagos civil servant.

Jonathan:
Peter obi is a fool

Go and ask from your father at home

Gandollar:
But why didn't you tell buhari this when he was reeling out empty promises in 2014?

Sirjamo:
I am not close to him

Shuku0kukobambi:
And the governors had a meeting and came out with their opposition so should he still go ahead?

Even when Obi insinuates it'll be economically unwise to do so?

Jonathan:
Peter obi is a fool

Trumps:
Useless Obi why not suggest also that all 36 state Govs should be earning based on their income & also the varpious houses of assembly members.

laliga01:
I believe P. Obi is right. Since some states pretend that they can't afford the new minimum wage, different minimum wage should be adopted by different states.
It will help reduces these multiple months non payment of salary
It will also make the states competitive
It will help each states look inward to harness their resources and lastly
This federalism has never worked and is not going to work in Nigeria. We all know these but we prefer to pretend we don't.
Each state needs autonomy for things to work and give some percentage to the federal govt.

The solution to Nigeria's problem is as clear as morning light. We are just not ready.

Daeylar:
So basically Peter is saying there must be a universal minimum wage?


""Minimum wage doesn’t have to be universal,” he said on Politics Today, a programme of ChannelsTV.
“I don’t believe that somebody in Lagos should earn the same thing as somebody who is in, maybe, Anambra State or somebody in Maiduguri.”

He, however, stressed that it was important to have a federal minimum wage which is the product of proper talks with labour.
What is ideal for him is that: “There has to be a federal minimum, then each state, working within this minimum, can decide where they should go. That is what is obtainable all over the world”""

Why should someone say one thing and in the very next sentence contradict himself?

greyham:
He is not right until he proposes the payment structure cuts across board.

What I mean is that same should be applied to all civil servants in a state, including the governors.

On this note all state governors should also earn according to he realties. I don't think a governor of Anambra should earn the same as a governor of Borno or Jigawa.

greyham:
To be a successful politician you must have the ability to speak from both sides of your mouth fluently.

Enjoy your day.
