END OF DISCUSSION!

We are highly honoured that your very first and only comment after 6 months of joining Nairaland is to 'totally endorse' one of our posts.
That means a lot.
A better Nigeria is all we want.
God bless you sir/ma!
This your analysis shows that you only choose to be a zombie because this is the best you have written since you were zombified. It's shows we all truly know the solution to Nigeria's problem but we choose to look the other way because of party affiliation

And the crazy Nlc acceded to the federal governments plan without knowing its a ploy to buy more time. Confirms the saying that Nigeria has a high concentration of stupid people.

I pity those people demanding for salary increase instead of an improved economy. Increased salary will definitely results in a rise in inflation. The result will be worse than the current salary. If the economy is sound and inflation curtailed, they could well manage with the current salary.

As far as no inflation when politicians are collecting millions there won't be inflation because of 30k, meanwhile there is already an inflation and salary increment is long overdue.

Yes he does, BUT, he doesn't read the unreasonable wails of haters!
We are not talking about critics who are genuinely concerned about a better Nigeria,. You will know them because when they see good efforts of government they applaud.
But the children of hate only see negative things that their eyes have been programmed to see!
Ok bye!

30k is proposed the minimum wage. That is around 60% increase on what the government currently pays as wage. The present situation has the recurrent expenditure which outweighs the capital expenditure. In a strong economy, such an increase will not pose any significant negative effect on the economy.
But in the Nigerian situation, once the salary is increased, the immediate action is to devalue the currency to pay out valueless currency. Of what significance is the increase if naira suddenly begins to exchange at 500 to a dollar? On the other hand, if the naira currently exchanges at say 150 to a dollar, 18k minimum wage would even be more valuable than 30k at this current rate of 370 to a dollar.
The nigerian workers certainly deserve the best wages. But it must go hand in hand with a currency that has real value.

I don't really support this school of thought. Nigeria national minimum wage is one of the lowest in the world other countries pay their workers double to triple of what Nigeria civil servant collect, have their inflation rate rising to the point you are trying to point out?
this is my point-

30k is the proposed minimum wage. That is around 60% increase on what the government currently pays as wage. The present situation has the recurrent expenditure which outweighs the capital expenditure. In a strong economy, such an increase will not pose any significant negative effect on the economy.

I get your point partially. But currently naira is not far from the 500 exchange rate which according to you could be the worst nightmare for the country if the minimum wage is increased. Now I ask you should the workers continue to be paid 18k with dollar at 370 or the should be paid 30k with the dollar at 500 (that's if your assertion is true) which will benefit the Nigeria Workers?

I'd substitute 4 for life imprisonment for both offences. Every other thing said makes complete sense and I totally endorse it!


Nothing good comes easy. Who will feed them in that life sentence?

Ask to know why Dubai, China etc are prospering. Zero tolerance for thieving politicians.
