"The figure is 36 per cent more than the N2.49bn earmarked for the President’s travel expenditure in the 2023 budget."

This is my concern. What are they going to do about it?

Just 3 months and the figure is 36 per cent more than the N2.49bn earmarked for the President’s travel expenditure in the 2023 budget?

seunmsg:
Do you have a business? Can you pay your least worker N494k? How many private schools, hospitals, restaurants etc can pay a minimum wage of N494k?

Abia state is a Labour Party state. It is one of the state that is yet to fully implement the N30k minimum wage since 2019. How will Abia state pay a minimum wage of N494k? Make it make sense.


Labour’s demand is unreasonable and unrealistic. It’s time for them to stop playing politics and make a sensible proposal. Anything above N100k is unrealistic.

So why can't Fed Govt offer the 100k?

You can imagine that!

helinues:
Even if you slashed the executives and legislatives take home, it won't still catch up with the ridiculous amount labour is demanding.

Their N494,000 is the basic salary, how much would those in level 16 be earning monthly?

Shey they said Nigerians should sacrifice?
Let them slash the executives and legislatives take home first, then Nigerians can take them serious and speak up against NLC

They, the politicians earn jumbo pay but want others to earn peanuts.

How much does it cost Nigeria to pay the Executive and Legislators? Only recently, the wages of judges have been increased massively

kingreign:
Stop being foolish by half. Why can't the executive and legislature slash their take home pay?

After all, what's good for Adam is also good for Adamu

Nna meeen!

Kevineleven:
Nobody is entirely good bro, but when you take a broader look at this life, you will realise that Love is all it takes to make the earth a better place.

That's why I said you are good man.

manmade:
The way you are talking, you may decide to kidnap your uncle one day simply because he is not giving you his hard earned money :-

Bro, work very hard and become rich and when you are, make sure you keep your family far away from you and your wealth.

Kevineleven:
Your parents owe you and you know it , they brought you into this world, so it is their responsibility to train , feed and empower you to stand.
If your brother is a billionaire the type that throws money around and he cannot empower you to escape poverty he is wicked. That is why rich men get kidnapped by their own family.
You guys better wise up.
Stop wickedness,
Stop weaponising poverty

You are a good man!

Kevineleven:
He owes him
Naim brother, the man is filthy rich, stop all this wicked mentality.

I wonder whether that wan brother fit drink water for him house

Chummynoni:
you called this entitlement? Oh wow!!!

That's the problem with our generation!

Entitlement indeed!

IkeIgboNiile:
Entitlement wan kill this one.😂🤣

This thing you people call "entitlement," what exactly is it?

It's highly condemnable.

Atiku is very smart o...
"The veil of the so-called Unknown Gun Men hiding under cover to unleash death and mayhem must be lifted to ensure that criminal elements are separated from legitimate agitators."

The other one should have done something similar

magoo10:
and to think that national anthem is their problem

The new old national anthem will help us overcome tribalism once in use

magoo10:
Nigeria get president so?

The first question should be; Is Nigeria a country?

Is this a sovereign nation?

As for having President, we all know the answer

gidgiddy:
What did you expect? 😆 😆

More like, "our enemies should stand aside and look while we kill ourselves" right?

It's a shame!

In a civilized society, Erisco would be the one to be charged and dragged. But this is Nigeria where everything goes.

Nauttyprof:
I might not like Reno as a person but on this one, I totally support him 100%. I know he is supporting the present government but we also need to learn from every word he dropped.

We are insincere as individuals and this is why Nigeria has never made any progress. The word 'tribalist' gained so much recognition after the last election simply because individuals whether igbo, Yoruba, Hausa or whatever tribe we belong to chose to place tribe above the interest of the Nation. Nigerians are the most insincere people and have never for once united to kick out these old recycled politicians who take us for a ride. They look for words to stir emotions in us but in the real sense, are more interested about themselves first than saving Nigeria.

They can easily talk about the problem use every negative situation to their advantage but once they get to that position, the problem persists. Today it is Tinubu, tomorrow, it is how Obi can do it better. We haven't asked ourselves sincerely that if truly they can do it better how come these states are still striving to put a system in place? Why do we still believe any of these recycled politicians can take Nigeria to the promise land? Why?

Can't we for once look beyond these same people we keep voting and yet, nothing has changed. Look at the trend in the country and no one cares to ask, why do we still believe in any of them when we can decide to choose outside these men? The progress of this country is not in any of these men hands anymore.

They just keep talking, stirring up emotions and yet, all they think about is themselves and not really about Nigeria. When are we going to learn? When are we going to unite truly and kick all of them out by voting for someone who is neutral and have not joined these gangs of politicians. We need a new face in government and not these same people.

I will never join any tribe to speak but as it is, the interest of Nigeria is my concern and as such, I look forward to her progress. The progress of Nigeria is not in these old recycled politicians hands. Let's start thinking beyond these same guys.

Thank you!

Chinkoalhaji34:
Peter Obi should stop being a selective and biased leader, and instead condemn violence and injustice regardless of the ethnicity or location where it occurs.

Simple!

This is not too much to ask

kingsways:
Is Reno Omokri name of a person, animal or thing?

When they were running for president, they were asked how they would handle the agitations. Obi was clear that he would negotiate with the agitators, Tinubu also echoed the same but has so far failed to do so.

If you want to blame Obi for IPOB, you have to wait until when he is president

But at least he should have said something like he has always done.

I can now confirm that Obi is not a bold courageous leader but an opportunist

Game on or over

Ulogwe1:
So you're indirectly admitting that Buhari failed.

My people, these politicians don't their citizens in their heart.

They will keep telling us stories.

Ulogwe Isumpe?

Basicend:
Truth is Tinubu made huge mistakes when he came in and it has undermined his performance so much. .

But, I still rate him better than Buhari. You can see some measures of stability he is trying to achieve despite the very poor state of the purse of the treasury.

Buhari was a huge disaster gift to Nigeria.

What were you people saying during those eight years of "huge disaster"?

Ok

OK sir

While we are patient you people should be prudent

VeryDarkMan01:
That local wooden chair is more expensive and comfy than all those sofa you see

Cant you see it has a presidential seal on it
It's only reserved for d president

Hate has blinded you guys

Sorry, no vex.

But what has blinded you?

Mummyfour:
Our "Arise oh compatriots" that used to give goosebumps of joy because of the rythm and lyrics especially when our Nigerian footballers are playing international matches. Anthem that even oyibos rate high. Is what has been swapped for that lullaby manufactured by a foreigner. We discarded our own anthem not for something newer, but to go back to what we had discarded and forgotten?

It's a pity

MrAdam:
this is a clear sign that this one's doesn't understand anything.. why contradict yourself

Funny country!

idahme:
Humble president that stole Lagos state dry, what makes him humble?

Sitting on a local wooden chair while his ministers sit on exotic ones

Why don't we look at it this way:

Tinubu is a very humble President

Is there still Hope with this government?
