Mr. PandoraObi, you can go and join them in South Africa, but then you know that you probably have been in jail by now for the way you handled the money meant for the people of your State when you are the governor.

If the National Assemble members don't want false narratives, then produce details of the salary and all emoluments that these dishonorable members are earning once and for all but instead of doing that, they will keep spinning lies and innuendoes.

Believeintruth:
Oga shut up and stop being a troll. You people are just doing this for cheap politics, all for peanuts they give you

And you are doing it because you lack sense (common and inate) as an Obizombie that you are. Enjoy your day

[quote author=Lizzysamuel post=130294997][/quote]Obi, you are not saying anything new other than to just bark. NDIC normally handles payment to the depositors and also handles the payment in an orderly and immediately.

Prominent Nigerian activist, Aisha Yesufu, has responded defiantly to those calling for her arrest after she refused to stand during the recitation of the reintroduced national anthem.

In a bold statement, Yesufu dared anyone to arrest her for exercising her right to protest, saying: "I dare anyone to arrest me for sitting down while the new national anthem is being played or recited."

Yesufu's refusal to stand during the national anthem has sparked a heated debate on social media, with some calling for her arrest and others hailing her as a hero for standing up for her beliefs.

The reintroduced national anthem has been a topic of controversy in Nigeria, with some citizens welcoming the change and others expressing concerns over its implications.

Why should they arrest you, instead continue displaying your ignorance and craziness. Arresting you will only make you relevant which is what you want. Everyone should just neglect you just like people neglecting a mad woman in a market place.

15 states yet to pay N30,000 minimum wage – CSO

Fifteen Nigerian states have yet to implement the N30,000 minimum wage for their workers since it was signed into law in 2019.

This is as organised labour unions are set to push for a further increase in minimum wage following worsening living conditions in recent times.

According to BudgiT, even though 15 states are yet to implement the minimum wage of N30,000, the 36 states of the federation grew their cumulative personnel cost by 13.44 per cent to N1.75tn in 2022 from N1.54tn in 2021.

Also, these states grew their overhead bills by 23.42 per cent to N1.24tn in 2022.

The Civil Society Organisation disclosed this in its newly released ‘The States of States Report 2023.’ The organisation highlighted that the 36 states of the federation grew their revenue by 28.95 per cent from N5.12tn in 2021 to N6.6tn in 2022.

Commenting on the composition of the revenue, it said, “Put together, the Internally Generated Revenue of the 36 states appreciated by 12.98 per cent from N1.61tn in 2021 to N1.82tn in 2022, denoting a strengthened domestic revenue mobilisation capability. Nonetheless, the IGR to GDP ratio remained very low at 1.01 per cent. The increase in IGR did not reflect across board as 17 states experienced a decline in their IGR from the previous year while 19 states recorded positive growth.

“Occasioned by a 49.2 per cent increase in global oil prices, growth in federal transfers rose by 35.68 per cent from the previous year to N4.05tn, despite a 12.55 per cent drop in crude oil production,”

States’ reliance on the revenue from the Federal Government grew to 61.45 per cent in 2022 from 58.4 per cent in 2021, BudgiT noted. Despite their revenue struggles, the 36 states spent N8.2tn in 2022, more than the N6.58tn they spent in 2021.

Despite the struggles of these states, organised labour recently issued a two-week deadline to governors to commence negotiations on the N35,000 wage award for workers in their states following the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding signed by the Federal Government, the Nigeria Labour Congress, and the Trade Union Congress.

State chapters of the NLC and TUC handed down these ultimatums on Tuesday and said they had written to the governors. Recently the Federal Government agreed to pay N35,000 to all federal workers for six months beginning from September.

One of the NLC state chapter chairmen who spoke to The PUNCH, The Kano State NLC Chairman, Kabiru Inuwa, said, “We have written to the government requesting for the payment of the wage award to workers in the state and we are still waiting for the government to respond.”

Other states’ chapters of either the NLC or TUC that confirmed they had written to their governors include Gombe, Rivers, Benue, Ogun, Katsina, Niger, Ondo, Osun, Kwara, Kebbi, Bayelsa, and Delta.

So, in a meeting comprising the members of the tripartite committee, the organised labour, employers, state and federal government representatives, in Abuja, the chairman of the committee, Alhaji Bukar Goni Aji urged the members to work for the progress and development of the country.

Recall that after a long-drawn battle between the Federal Government and the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) on a new minimum wage, the then Labour Minister, Dr Chris Ngige announced N30,000 minimum wage at the end of a Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting presided over by the former Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo. He informed that FEC also approved that payment of N30,000 minimum wage be effected from April 18, 2019.

Unfortunately, over 15 states could not pay the wages due to low revenue.

The states yet to implement the N30,000 minimum wage are: Abia, Bayelsa, Delta, Enugu, Nasarawa, Adamawa, Gombe, Niger, Borno, Sokoto, Anambra, Imo, Benue, Taraba and Zamfara. Also, over 70 per cent of workers in the private sector are yet to receive the N30,000 minimum wage.

Mention the 15 states.

Labour has said it's only 5 States. So I don't know where' you people keep getting your figures from.

[quote author=TonyeBarcanista post=130283697][/quote]I agreed 100%. The NLC should be about fighting corruption but they can not because they are part and parcel of the corruption in Nigeria. The aim of the NLC is to cause unrest because their own part LP did not win, hence this is about politics and not about the welfare of the working people.

When 15 of the States can not pay the current minimum wage of 30,000, how will they be able to able to 495k the useless Ajaero is advocating for, and inflation that will follow. It makes no sense but then as part of the Obizombies, Ajaero lack sense (both common and innate).

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Joe Igbokwe, has berated Nigerian activist, Aisha Yesufu, over ‘disrespect’ for the National Anthem.

A video making the rounds on social media shows Aisha Yesufu sitting while others stood during the recitation of the new anthem at an event.

Most guests at the event were visibly astonished by Aisha’s display, as seen in the video.

Aisha also shared a video clip of the moment on her handle with the caption, “Not my anthem.”

Reacting, Igbokwe, in a post via his Facebook page, said Aisha was exhibiting nonsensical behaviour.

According to him, Yesufu was causing damage to herself and her family by disrespecting the national anthem.

He wrote:

Please the military should not show mercy, the entire area need to be mowed down with anything that moves - human and animal cut down. Let them have the taste of their own wickedness.

How can a group hold the entire region in ransom if not that the populace - government and the governed support and gave them coverage.

So Nigeria is so much a failed state that the police can no longer investigate, arrest and prosecute high profile crimes anymore but tag it to a group? So if a person wants to rob a bank in east now they will put on Biafra color and police will run away and say they are UGM or in west dressed like Fulani they will run and say it’s herdsmen or in the north put on long beards like boko haram etc….this is sad that Nigeria is now a failed state under a man the enemies of Nigeria said he built Lagos

If Nigeria is a failed State, it is caused by your people from the land of rising wailer, where lies, propaganda, crimes and drugs rain and only source of contribution and import to other parts of Nigeria and overseas.

You can argue this with your ancestors. The earlier these people leave the better for the rest of the commonwealth for they cause the so-called failure.

Na the fuool(s) wen like ur comment Pain me.
I have copied a part of your comment below:

**"The refinery is producing these products to market in Africa and overseas because the volume produced is much more than what Nigerian market can consume.***

Do u know how many people cook with kerosene stoves in Nigeria and have to cough #1,800 for a liter?instead of Dangote going to sell outside our country, why not crash the price here and sell to Nigerians at #500 a liter? Kerosene has so many uses and we can't even afford it here. And u de spew shit. Na ur papa I go swear for. Wen born mumu like u... Nigerians de go through hell,una de support. Ogun kee u

See your mouth swearing upanddan, opening your mouth wide as if you dey for yam festival. If only you can read and comprehend, your life would have been much better than where you are now. As stated in the writeup, the refinery is yet to produce kerosine, hence can not supply what it doesn't produce yet. I use the example of Diesel and you saw the effect of it but because of your mental illiteracy, you can not infer and understand. My last comment with you on this because I can not get into the mud with a pig.

Zetty177x:
As I look am, nor be to bash Obidients o. Dangote is busy exporting products for his own benefits to probably become a Quadrillionaire while u de abuse Obidients for maybe empty stomach.

Dangote has already exported six jet fuel/kerosene cargoes, all delivered to Senegal, Togo or Ghana. For Nigeria, kerosene na between #1,600 to #1,800.

APC /Agbadorians (am sure u are one) deceived us that Dangote was gonna sell fuel and diesel to Nigerians to drop price of fuel and price of dollar. But these same politicians don use our head again..ok de support them...

Some of these Obizombies do not have sense (common or uncommon). Dangote is running a business. The refinery sold diesel in the Nigerian market and crashed the cost of diesel. The refinery is selling jet fuel in Nigeria and will begin to sell Petrol and Kerosine.

The refinery is producing these products to market in Africa and overseas because the volume produced is much more than what Nigerian market can consume.

I hope you understand the reason for selling to other African countries and overseas. But then, I am talking to Zetty177, someone that fits "he who knows not and knows that he knows not, he is a fool - shun him

It is the illiterate cretin like you that Umahi was talking about. Landmark encroached on properties that do not belong to him, the owner of the property wants to use what rightfully belong to him, hence illegal structure was demolished. The owner asked landmark to bring title to the property. Instead of doing so, Landmark resorted to lies and seeking sympathy from ObiZombies and the likes that have no sense (common and uncommon).
