Oya we will agree to date broke men. Please let all the trolling stop. E don do na .after how many years? Let's put an end to all of this. Ladies please attend to your dm.

Don't look at the title of the thread alone to pass judgment. Read the full article first through the link shared before you react.

It's not demanding that women marry poor men or date them, but highlighting the major reason why some or most married women can't tolerate poverty or temporary hardship in their marriages but can do so with their parents.

1Sharon:
Because you can't change your parents but you can leave your husband.

If the husband becomes very wealthy a year after you left, what would you do?

Augustine2244:
Poverty isn't a gold medal you should be proud of .
That you are born into poverty doesn't mean you should marry into poverty.
Poverty is a disease and a curse.

You should have read the full article in the link.

The op is not encouraging women to marry poor men, but highlighting the major reason why a lot of women from this part of the world can easily tolerate poverty with their parents, but find it very difficult to bear temporary hardship with their own husbands and offer any kind of support to help them bounce back from it.

Women are known to support their parents wholeheartedly no matter the situation, but when it comes to their own husbands it becomes a boring
job . Why? That's the question .

According to the op,societal programming which makes some women see their husbands as the sole provider in the family is the cause.

For me, those who have been programmed that way are the ones who would easily abandon their marriages during such difficult
times ,but would want to return immediately after when things have turn around for the good for the man.

Such behaviour should not be encouraged .

Na wah. Nobody wants to read the full article in the link before reacting to the thread.

I understand your disappointment with the Zambian team, the black race should not be blamed. Incidentally, Nigeria's female basketball team defeated 3rd ranked Australia this morning at the ongoing Olympic games. Score line: 75 - 62. Our girls demonstrated incredible mental grit to overcome the highly ranked Aussies.

The Op will certainly ignore the news of our girls , D, Tigress, triumphing over the australians , his white gods, because it doesn't agree with the falsehood he is ignorantly trying to push here.

I always consider Africans who hate on their own race as very stupid and ignorant. There's no scientific evidence anywhere that supports the foolish talk that blacks are born mentally inferior to the whites , or that they're cursed.

Afonjah:
Apart from the USSR game which was obviously grown married men vs boys, the rest do not apply.

Brazilians are neither Caucasian nor Asian.
Spain never led Nigeria by a wide margin in that match.


Enrol for adult education before you quote me again.
Thanks.

1. Bring your proof that it was grown men over boys and FIFA disqualified them for cheating or shut up.


.2 . The Brazilian team we defeated was made up players of Portuguese and African descents. In fact most of the team members were Caucasians. Or are Portuguese not white?

3. The Spanish team was mostly made up players from real Madrid and Barcelona and was one of the most feared team before that tournament.But in spite of the intimating credentials that they possessed, our super eagles ,whom you regard as mentally inferior,came back twice from behind to still defeat them , yet you don't want see it as a display of a superior mental strength over the whites you worship as gods.

What happened yesterday between Australia vs Zambia is normal occurrence in football . It happens all the time and that's why we love the game.It has nothing to do with the colour of the skin . In football, we say, anything can happen. A lapse in concentration , change of tactics and skillful display by any team member can dramatically change the game , and that's what happened .


A Football match is a contest between two opposing teams of equal or unequal strength and not between two opposing race to determine who's racially superior. If it were the latter,the France national teams would be barred from playing unless the field only white players.

You really have a problem of being blinded by racist hatred over your own race due to lack of knowledge of what makes a human being mentally tough, and because of that you're using random results from football matches to pass very wrong judgement against your own race. You're cursing yourself but you simply lack the awareness to know it.

SMH

Afonjah:
The mental/psychological strength of the average African is zero. In times of mental strength, it always falters.

Zambia women just lost to Australia 6-5 after leading 5-2 shortly after half time. Who does that?

Like, you went from 5-2 to 5-3 even 5-4 and something in you did not trigger "hey! we need to do something!" at that point?

Tell me the Caucasian or Asian team that will collapse like that. Worst case that match will end in draw with many red cards and delays.


Yesterday, Morocco olympic team were tied 1-1 with Ukraine's 10-men. They eventually lost in the very last minute 2-1 to Ukraine's only shot on target after wasting tens of shots.


Before that, this same Moroccoan team almost lost a 2 goal lead against Argentina in the very last seconds of their opening match. They were saved by VAR long after the match had ended.

We have seen this scenario over and over again from African teams against whites. It is a mentality thing.

Politically and business-wise, the whites know this fact and they use it all the time yet blacks have failed to realize it. Whites know that blacks will buckle under pressure so they usually introduce panic situations whenever they are negotiating with blacks because they know that the black man will panic and eventually comply.



I repeat.
No Caucasian or Asian team can capitulate to a Black team like that. They will dig deep, whip up something (even illegal) to either stall their opponent or destroy their gameplan.

It is not racism. The Black man is mentally limited.

Good day.

You're obviously a kid who started watching football just yesterday.

1. Damman miracle. Nigeria vs Russia

2.Atlanta 96 Nigeria vs Brazil . Semi final.

3. France 98 Nigerian vs Spain
Google the ones above and stop the self deprecating remarks.

Not only are you clueless but you are proudly ignorant.....LMAO......I live & work in the USA and have several investments in Nigeria.....Who's better to give you perspectives from both sides? I did not waste my time earning a Ph.D and working in a Fortune 100 company to listen to your junk analysis! Guy you're the typical Nigerian, your economy revolves around the USD yet you are asking to leave USD out of the discussion.....No be juju be that?

. Name calling and boasting about what you have achieved in life won't help you prove your point. Nobody can confirm on an anonymous forum if you're a PhD holder or not. You haven't provided any evidence to confirm that. I can equally brag about my own achievements ,but won't do that because I'm not an egomania like you.

Yes, the Nigerian economy revolves round the dollar, but since you're completely out of touch with the reality here ,you're not conscious enough to know that in our local markets people buy food stuffs with naira and not dollars. People also buy fuel with naira not dollars. In fact the federal government has made it illegal to buy and sell in Nigeria with the US Dollars and any other foreign currency. The minimum wage to be paid is in naira not dollars, and if you convert the 70k to dollars it's even less in value than the 30k Buhari approved 5 years ago, yet you're deluded to think it's huge money that will results into too much money entering the economy to make traders doubled their prices.

If you have a PhD at all, then you must have acquired it from attending a very substandard university.

.
THERE IS NO CONTEXT THAT INFLATION IS CONSIDERED NOT BAD! LET ME REPEAT, THERE'S NO CONTEXT THAT INFLATION IS SEEN AS NOT BAD! It might be natural like you said but just like unemployment, it is an undesired economical indice!

. If inflation is kept very low it's not bad when compared with deflation. That's the context . The opposite of inflation is deflation.You don't know what's deflation hence the reason you're rejecting the new information I presented to you. Go and Google it and learn so you don't continue to argue from a position of ignorance.Zero inflation will results in the weakening of a country s economy. Go and confirm this, Mr PHD holder.

.
You've tried really hard to shift the goal post but you're just sounding more clownish with each post, imagine thinking deflation is a good thing, do you even know what happens during deflation? Here's a hint, stagnation and unemployment., so you think the cure for inflation is to throw 9ja into more unemployment? MENT!

. I don't have any reason to shift any goalpost. You're the one who has been doing that because you're unable to provide evidence from the past to support your very wild speculations that once minimum wage is increased in Nigeria prices of goods services will multiply.
Now the latest is to lie about what I originally said.. Where did I say deflation is good? Please show me?

Your head is really not there at all. I made a comparison of inflation and deflation to show that the former is not bad when kept very low. Comprehension is really your problem.

.
Bro..........GIVE IT UP MAN, I WILL NO LONGER RESPOND TO YOUR RAMBLING! I've educated you way more than you deserve......SAY THANKS!

. You have given up on yourself, not me. What do you know that you want to educate me with?

There's no single logicality and clarity in most of the things you have tried to explain here, yet you want to delude yourself to think you can educate anybody?

Your over bloated ego is really working against you .I'm done with you . I have wasted my time.

TimiRume:
I noticed how no one so far, doubted the op's story which screams made up but would speedily gun for anyone's neck with a good testimony. Not saying there are not so many crooked self appointed MOGs out there.

Why should people doubt it ?

Sermwell:
We lost one of our cousin and so I travelled down home to attend the burial. Both immediate and extended families travelled from across the country with thier families for the occasion.
So one of our cousins brought thier pastor/prophet from the city, and decided there will be a vigil in the family compound to cast out demons and break 'generational curses' in the family. I reluctantly attended and when the vigil was going on, the pastor kept prophesying to different members of the family and telling them alot of weird things to do if they must break the curses. I wasn't comfortable at all with his appearance and narrative throughout.
When it got to my turn, he asked about my wife and I told him she's at home and couldn't attend the burial. He asked about my kids and I told him I have two kids. Then, he said my wife and the members of her family are after the lives of my kids. He said my wife's mother wasn't happy about our marriage from day one and they want to kill our kids on the same day and accuse me of being responsible for sacrificing them for money so that my wife can leave me. He then asked me where I work and I told him I work with an insurance company in Lagos. He then said if I know any Kolawole and I said he's the chief finance officer where I work. The pastor/ prophet then said that this Kolawole doesn't want me in that company and has sworn that he will set me up.
Before he could even finish, I just turned back and walked away back to my room. To my surprise majority of our family members also abandoned the vigil immediately. Now you may want to know why we all walked away??

(1) I'm not married
(2) I don't have kids
(3) I don't work with any insurance company
(4) I don't even live in Lagos

The next morning, my cousin and her husband who brought the pastor were very angry with me. Although they couldn't confront me, but I overheard them reporting me to some elders in the family and asking them to mandate me to apologize to thier fake pastor. Before they could approach me for that, I just went straight to the pastor and told him I don't want to ever see him anywhere near our village again. The whole compound became chaotic and I went back to my room wandering what I did wrong..
Please fam, did I do anything wrong in exposing the pastor's shenanigans?

. You did no wrong. Don't allow anyone to intimidate you to apologize to the pastor.

I believe some persons here would prefer to give you a slap instead of a" sport" because what you have up there is a product of your overactive imagination .

abbey621:
E gba mi, calling you clueless is not an insult but a statement of FACT! This particular topic o, you're not well informed! Just look at the comedy you wrote highlighted above........I'll school you once again because I see the need to seriously correct your misguided assumptions. INFLATION is absolutely a bad thing and serious counties will always peg their inflation below a certain number. Dem no born any USA president well to seek reelection when inflation is above 5%, he no fit enter. Same goes for U.K, no prime minister can survive when inflation goes above 10%.

Moving on, why has the minimum wage in the USA remained $7.25 since 2009, how come they can't DOUBLE IT? I mean cost of living has increased over 60% since 2009 so why not? Because they're not crazy! In 1990, the minimum wage was $3.80, it took them 19 years to slowly increase it to less than 100% and they've not increased it for 15 years now. This is a country that witnessed multiple wars, recesssions and other calamities o, a country where the average house mortgage was less than 80k in 1990 and now the same average mortgage is over 300k.

If you still believe inflation is not a bad thing and that a sudden 120% increase in minimum wage won't increase inflation then you're simply a COMEDIAN......A very funny Baba Suwe!

. You making too much noises and not making sense. What I meant by inflation not being bad was explained by me ,yet you have
gone ahead to reply with nonsense to confirm your inability to comprehend what's clearly explained for you in simple English language.

Are you even aware there's something called deflation which is the opposite of inflation? If you knew that, then you would have understood what I was driving at when I said inflation is not bad. The expression,"not bad" in the context I used it ,means it's something that naturally happens in every country where' economic activities are going on . In other words ,it is normal occurrence and so cannot be completely eliminated or stopped ,but only managed to keep it from rising too much. You can only manage it to keep it low ,but not to extent it results into deflation which is not also good for any country's economy.

Instead of you to focus on one thing by supporting your wild forecast about inflation with unambiguous facts and evidence from the past as it concerns your country , you're all over the place using another country having a different set circumstances to do so.

For instance, what's the sense in using America whose currency the, dollar, is more stable than the naira, to ask the silly question of why their minimum wage hasn't been increased for years . It hasn't been increased because their currency is very stable compared to yours.So no much need.

I will be wasting my time if I continue the conversation with you. You have been arguing from a position of stubborn ignorance . Your "clueless" name calling directed at me, is a projecting of yourself. You think that help will help you prove point? It won't.

abbey621:
Again I will not argue with you because you're obviously clueless.....I've attached your initial response to me where you clearly highlighted illegalities as the influencing factor even tho countries like USA and UK experienced increase in inflation and illegalities is very limited in their societies.....Your own words betray you so WHO AM I TO ARGUE? SHALOM!

Your problem is comprehension. I didn't say illegalities is the cause of inflation but that spending money gotten from illegal means recklessly and consistently on goods and services is one of the factors that can result in inflation. If you cannot comprehend this simple explanation written in simple English,what else can you understand?

Besides I have also said there are other factors responsible for inflation unlike you who insist one only one thing, minimum wage. That's the only thing you know and have been blaming inflation on.


Name calling won't help you to prove your point. You're only projecting yourself by referring to me as clueless. I won't call you clueless but continue to inform you of the correct thing so you learn and stop the negative forecast about inflation.

Inflation is normal in any country where economic activities are going on. It's not a bad thing. Nobody can stop it. It can only be managed so it doesn't get out of hand and cause problem for the economy. The 70k minimum wage which is to be paid to few workers in Nigeria won't result in too much money entering the system. What you have been doing is to use what's obtainable elsewhere where a significant number of workers earn minimum wage to forecast what will happen in Nigeria. That's very poor and it shows you're not thinking it at all.

The government that has agreed to pay 70k which is very far from what labour asked for, consulted with economic experts to know the amount to pay that won't cause problems for the economy. Maybe you think you know better than them with your halfbaked knowledge

wunmi590:
My company perform more better than most company who have been established, I'm the Facility manager of the company, and I supervised the payment of my staff.

My company pay every bonuses you can even think, of, I'm not bragging, majority of the established como at and known company can't, I don't need to be mentioning their names..

Apart from monthly salary that is being paid as at when due, which has never entered into the next month, since 4years I've been in the company, theirs also end of the years profit sharing, and also 13th month salary, with individual hampers that goes round to each staff..

Easter and Ramadan token is also there, with launch token from the CEO every year on her birthday..

How many company can do that....

Either you call it cleaner or Janitor, they serve the same purpose, Janitor is more preferable to alot of people here, to most people doing the work, it is more degradable.

You know a company that double their staff salary doesn't mean you know all the company in Nigeria and how they perform..

If you own a company, you will know what it feels to pay staff salaries

What's the point of all these talk. What's the connection to the minimum wage discussion. You're already deflecting.

I don't claim to know everything. You're the one who claimed to know what's obtainable in every company in Nigeria.

You said no company in Nigeria pays a particular amount to their lowest paid staff and I replied that I know some that pays more .

Please focus on the minimum wage issue if you want to continue the discussion and stop the emotional blackmail of ,if I own a company and pay salaries "

what do you know about me. I haven't questioned or challenged what you're paying in your company. So I don't understand the purpose of this argument you are having with me. Why did you quote me in the first place? You yet the make it clear. Please do so.

Modified. If your company is paying 50k to cleaners, it's ok. I haven't condemned it. So what's your quarrel with me?

abbey621:
Again I will not argue sentiments but facts, you stated your reasons that caused inflation and I provided you with the actual causes and provided examples of countries where illegalities does not exist and yet inflation rose. Whether you believe it or not is your own business!

You have been reacting emotionally yet you say you have been talking facts. I don't have my personal reasons for inflation. It's because you're very ignorant of the other causes of inflation you're calling it my reason. I said inflation in any country is due to a combination of several factors and not minimum wage alone. Minimum wage is the only thing you know hence your senseless arguments.

You want to argue with bullshit sentiments that Nigeria is different hence we should ignore all economic rationale, isn't that comedic and plain ignorant?

. You seem to have forgotten how this all began or don't even understand the economic truth you quoted. I responded to your comment at first, because you said once minimum wage is increased it would lead to traders multiplying the prices of their goods and services and the reason you gave for that is too much money entering the system to chase few goods in the market .I disagreed and said it's only marginal that we experienced at first during Buhari and Jonathan's time and any other increase was due to other factors.That's what I said. The reason Nigerian situation is different is because minimum wage is only paid to about less than 5% of the workforce unlike in other countries where more than 60,%0 receives it. It's because you're ignorant of this fact about minimum wage in Nigeria you and your likes have been arguing blindly that paying 70k minimum wage will result to too much money entering the system. The 70k that was announced is even worth less than the 30k that Buhari approved. It's less than ,,$ 50 . How much can that get you from the market if you want to spend it? You're not thinking this at all.

You said it is not easy to predict human behavior but we are talking about economics here not just human behavior,

Then it's a shame you don't know what economics is. It's human science in case you have forgotten what you were taught in secondary school. Economics truth are arrived at through the study of human behavior.

a country that produces shin shin, relies on 90% imports and allows trillions to be printed and embezzled will not only suffer in the long run but also have real dire short term consequences.

. This is vague irrelevant nonsense that doesn't answer why goods and services must multiply immediately in Nigeria, according to you, once minimum wage is increased. I need support for your minimum wage speculations. You said once workers start receiving minimum wage it would lead to traders multiplying their prices immediately.So tell us, how much was a litre of fuel , a bag of rice before Buhari signed the 30k minimum wage and the prices two to three months
after . That's the only thing that can prove what you're saying. Anything other than that will not be accepted because inflation is not caused by one thing. You also don't even know that the price of petrol in Nigeria is regulated by the NNPC. SMH.

Read what I highlighted above and realize just how dangerous your mentality sounds!

You didn't get highlight anything reasonable. What you have up there is a product of superficial thinking.

Finally you said, "when Buhari increased minimum wage to 30k in March 2019 a loaf of bread sold for 300 still retained its price till December of that same year.", What was the price of bread the following year? Over 40% increase.....So your rationale is that as long as it does not affect prices immediately, it is okay? Even your 300 Naira price is false as price of bread increased to over 400 Naira as of September 2019 in most places outside of Lagos. I don't know what twisted rationale you're playing but guy STOP IT ALREADY

. I never said if it didn't effect prices immediately it's okay. I'm saying minimum wage increase is not the only cause of inflation. You said it's, but cannot prove it. If you insist it's, then tell me why is bread now selling for about 2k? Is it still due to the 30 k Buhari approved years ago. What of fuel? Is it because of the 30k minimum wage? Rice and beans nko?

Do you even realize how clownish you sound? If country go spoil as long as e no spoil immediately it is okay........You're funny

You're the one clowing yourself with your display of ignorance about something you're not too well informed in.

Go and get yourself properly educated on all of the causes of inflation.

Find out the percentage of workers to receive minimum wage in Nigeria and compare it with other countries and then come back to continue the discussion.
I can see that you're very ignorant of so many things .

wunmi590:
I know about the minimum wage..

Nobody company in Nigeria is paying 70k directly to a fresh starter/ entry level Janitor, in such cases, it is being paid to an outsourced company who outsourced the people and they deduct their own share of it before paying the workers..

I'm a facility manager and we employ our janitors directly and pay them 50k entry level and do yearly increament and other end of the year bonus....

You don't know what's happening everywhere in Nigeria. There are some individuals who don't follow the rules and pay what they want to pay to please their workers and make them happy. Such companies will even pay double salaries every December to their workers. I'm sure that doesn't happen where you work.

I personally know of a business owner who doubled the salary of all his workers in October last year when inflation starts to bite, and because of that his lowest paid worker currently earns over 70k.

And what's even 70 k that most of you think is big money? It's not much when you consider the current economic climate.

Modified. You said you know about the minimum wage, but you haven't shown it yet. You talked about a POS attendant receiving minimum wage. That statement is proof you don't really know

But insist If you know then, mention the employers of labour in the private sector that are mandated by law to pay it. Also mention the category workers who are exempted from receiving minimum wage. in Nigeria.

And why you using the word,janitor ,which is North America English and not cleaner, British English?. Is your company located in the US?

abbey621:
Do you want to hear the truth or do you want to continue rambling? I've given you the textbook definition of what causes inflation and adapted it to the Nigerian scenario, I live in a country where the rubbish you wrote about illegality does not exist and yet inflation doubled 2 to 3 years ago to the point they had to drastically reduce the money in circulation by raising interest rates and removing some government benefits.
I'm not going to go back and forth with you arguing nonsenstical what ifs and whatabouts! I've provided you the definition, agree or disagree that's your business not mine.....PEACE!

Yes. Textbook definition which I said is not incorrect ,is why you far removed from reality and fantasizing about what will happen with the new minimum wage.

FYI, Economics theory and principles are imprecise and doesn't always apply in real life because economics is human science not natural sciences that's very exact . It's not easy to predict human behavior. So my friend, you don't know the truth about what you think you know.

Using events that transpired in another country with a different set of circumstances and people to interpret the unique Nigerian situation is enough reason for me to discontinue the discussion with you. It shows you're not thinking it very well but just regurgitating what you Googled somewhere online.

The data you presented captured what happened over a long period time, (years and not months) yet you want the public to believe your lies that in the coming months once the government starts paying the new minimum wage, prices of goods and services prices will automatically "multiply". When Buhari increased minimum wage to 30k in March 2019 a loaf of bread sold for 300 still retained its price till December of that same year. It was the same for fuel which the government regulates. So what are you talking about?

I repeat, you have a mono - causal explanation for inflation, minimum wage, and you just further confirmed it with your latest reply.

Good day.

Modified. 70 k minimum wage increase is nothing. You think it's enough
to cause inflation because you're blinded by its nominal value. What can it get you in the market these days as compared to before ? Nothing much.

abbey621:
Inflation is primarily caused by excess money in circulation leading to high level demand with low level of supply. country like Nigeria that relies on 90% imported goods is fighting against multiple types of inflation. The more we import the weaker the Naira gets and that leads to astronomical prices of goods and services.

Your statement above is wrong and the evidence is simple:

In 2011, minimum wage went from 5,500 to 18,000, cost of building supplies, petrol and other imported products rose between 20 to 40%. In 2019, minimum wage went from 18,000 to 30,0000 and we witnessed even worse inflation, from 50% to as much as 200%. I know this because I built my first house in 2017 costing less than 80 million Naira and in 2021 when I wanted to build my second house with the same style and materials, the total cost was over 150 million.

Now we want to go from 30,000 to 70,000 and we expect just a marginal increase in goods and services.....NO BE JUJU BE THAT?

No.
It's not completely true that inflation is caused by excess money in circulation. The correct thing to say, is that it's caused by excess money in circulation gotten from illegal means spent recklessly and consistently on goods and services to push their prices up . Most people who earn their money legitimately would hardly spend it anyhow. So I don't expect Nigerian workers who are going through pain and suffering during this period to be so foolish to go on a sending spree once they start earning the new minimum wage in the coming months .

The data you presented shows you have a mono - causal explanation for inflation. It's not
good enough to convince me or anyone else who's well informed about all the other factors which usually combine to cause inflation at any given time For instance , the cost of petrol recently went
up from 220 a litre to about 600 to 750. What's the cause? Minimum wage or government policy

Except you're saying that during those period ,other factors which can also contribute to inflation took a break to allow for minimum wage increase to do havoc, you haven't presented any reasonable argument.

Or is it that if minimum wage wasn't increased, prices of goods and services would have remained stable from those years to now?



I'm not saying there won't be an increase in the prices of some goods and services after minimum wage,but it only will be marginal like before, and not enough to cause hyperinflation.

FYI, minimum wage increase also has its benefits. It would help to stimulate the Nigerian economy that's almost going comatose . Businesses are already folding up everywhere or have reduced production due to low patronage . No money in the hands of their regular customers to buy from them as before. So, how do you expect them to stay in business and continue to produce with the current high cost of production in the country?

BTW how many business owners pay the exact minimum wage in Nigeria? Only a few. If not for wickedness, why should business owners in Nigeria who are exempted from law to pay it want to increase the price of the goods and services they offer to the public immediately after

PJtech:
Stop confusing people.. If min wage is 70k not everyone will earn 70k
.only level 1 government workers will earn that amount. There are some government workers that will earn more than 1m monthly

Most secondary school teachers will earn atleast 250k monthly

But we should expect price of goods and foodstuff to multiply if that happens... So the min wage is useless

Not true that prices of goods and services will multiply everywhere. This not the first time minimum wage has been increased in Nigeria and each in the past,it was only marginal increase in some goods and services that resulted from it.

If you disagree with what I just explained then provided data from the past in support of your wild speculations about what you expect to happen.

Inflation is caused by a combination of factors, not minimum wage alone.

wunmi590:
So because you don't have, you expect people that have to start paying their janitors 70k monthly and also pay a POS attendant 70k per month ba

Some companies in Nigeria are paying more than 70k to their janitors.

Minimum wage is not for everyone in the private sector. That's what's contained in the minimum wage act in Nigeria. So POS agents aren't part of it.

Please Google the minimum wage act and read section 3 to get further details.

Love800:
I want to understand something.
So if one have more than 25 staff, does it mean its a big company or organisation?

I'm not talking about size,but the number of staff in a private company's payroll which the Nigerian law says must be considered before minimum wage is paid .

The number of staff may not determine if a company is "big" , but it sometimes does.

Will the civil servants receive the minimum wage in this July salary? Will the state agree to pay their civil servants for this month of July the already implemented minimum wage or they will give stories and slash it later

No. It's yet to be signed into law.

When you consider how many outlets petrol stations have, you will know that they have well over 25 staffs.

What you're saying now is not the same thing you said before. You just shifted the goal post

There's a difference between a petroleum marketer having several outlets and the one having just one. You said ,"A Petrol station " in your initial comment.

FYI those in the oil and gas are not part of those paying minimum wage. Workers there are paid differently. Minimum wage doesn't concern them .

GoodGovernance:
You are the culprit here.

His argument is for the village school that is qualified and mandated to pay minimum wage.

Or you think all village schools have less than 25 staff members?

Hehehe, culprit. Don't use a word whose meaning you don't understand.

The person you're defending said something you failed to grasp .He said private schools in villages with" how many students and staff "

How many of such private schools in the villages have more than 25 teachers?

seborrhic:
They talk and act like fools most times.
Close down.They think the companies would manufacture money from the air.
Even the old wage many private companies cannot afford because business has generally been depressed,high cost,low sales.
It's mainly financial institutions,oil companies,servicing companies,construction companies,big and multinational companies that can afford to pay.
Even at that,some may have to lay off workers to pay.
Some people naively think minimum wage means the lowest paid worker will earn the 70k and others will earn the higher wages they were earning before.
It doesn't work that way;there will be a general salary increase from the lowest to the oga at the top to reflect salarity disparity and years in the workforce,at different percentage increases.
There is no doubt wage has to increase,but how does it reflect in the private sector,especially medium to small scale businesses.Unfortnately it won't.
I hope we don't see another Udoji salary increase calamity because babablublu has so far shown that he doesn't think we'll or have the capacity to think through actions before making rash and calamitous pronouncements.

You don't know the law. Medium and small scale businesses in Nigeria don't bother themselves with minimum wage because close to 90% or more of them have not employed the required number of staff which mandates them to pay it. The few ones who have employed more than the required number, which is ,25, usually hide the truth and don't pay .

The large scale businesses that are capable of paying minimum wage are already paying above minimum wage. Nearly all of them have increased the salaries of their staff without waiting for minimum wage announcement.

The only group that fully benefits from minimum wage in Nigeria are those in the public sector, civil servants.

helinues:
That one is expected. Not all the private sectors would be able to afford the N70k as minimum wage.

The private schools in the village with how many students or staff?

Things we could have discussed earlier and find solutions to, we would rather be engaging in petty discussions.

Another senseless talk from you again.

Despite the fact you have been informed by others here that minimum wage is not for every employer of labour in the private sector, you still want to mislead the public with misinformation.
If you don't have 25 staff and above in your payroll as a private employer of labour, you're exempted.

So , the private schools in your village with less than that number of staff is not part of it.

Ijaya123:
You expect a petrol station to pay 70k to their attendants?

Most of you are not realistic in your expectations on this issue of minimum wage.

Did you read what he said before replying?
He mentioned 25 staff and above. How many petrol station in Nigeria has that number of staff?

femi4:
I was almost going to ignore your level of illiteracy, inarticulated submission and repetitive opinion until I got to the bolded.

Nigeria has the largest annual egg production and second largest chicken population in Africa.

I still have the "Ghana must go bags that your forefathers used to pack their clothes in the 70s back to Ghana. Imagine, leaving eggs behind to come here for greener pasture

First of all I'm a Nigerian by birth and grew up here. My late mother who I said was Ghanaian was half Nigeria too .Her late mother was Yoruba, not just your ordinary yoruba family, but an illustrious one. .So shut up an face the issue at hand.

I didn't say Ghana has the largest pouiry market in Africa. I said readily available and cheap in that country. If you don't understand what that means,then get yourself some proper education .

If it continues to shock you that some people are combining egusi and eggs , then it means you're not thinking at all ,but just reacting like a programmed bot..

The only thing you have in your empty head is name calling and insults. Nothing else.


So sorry I'm no longer interested in conversing with someone who is devoid of critical faculty

God day and continue to enjoy your "eggless" egusi soup.

ExudeLoveToAll:
Did I tell you I know you every Nigerian? I said I have never seen any Nigerian from childhood to adulthood that has done that what didn't you get there?

You are really far from comprehension, the topic of discussion here is using egg as a protein in eguisi soup and not adding egg to an already made soup because the protein desired isn't available or the person knows the nutritional value of egg which he then willingly brings in. Even this scenario you have created have you seen anyone doing it in Nigeria? Or what is the percentage of those doing it? It's not a norm here and there is no reason to bring hypocrisy. You can only bring hypocrisy when something is done and you talk about it when others do that is my point exactly.

Nigerians eat egg but there is but not in that combination discussed about, there are some countries that do that , that's why Ghana was mentioned but couldn't comprehend that hypocrisy when there isn't any one in the first place.

It's better to comprehend before responding to comments, I didn't say anywhere about nutritional value of egg and how eggs will disappear into equisi when one cooks with it I only debunked the assertion that the Nigerians who aired there opinion did so not out of been a hypocrite.

Hypocrisy, hypocrisy hypocrisy. Comprehension comprehension comprehension. What are you trying to say? oga

I have seen lots of Nigerians eating eggs with egusi soup and there's nothing wrong with it. If you haven't come across such persons then it means you're stuck within particular location with few circle of friends.

blowjohn:
They were in bits!

Hehehe.

Yes , the meat"were in bits" for easy chewing.Some people prefer it that way, while other prefer to use large chunks of meat in their soups without cutting it into smaller bits . What of the fish and the other assorted meat in the soup? Go back and read again.
The egg was not cooked together with the soup. Look at the image of the egg again ,you will noticed it's white, meaning it was boiled separately and added the bowl of soup dished out to the Asian.Nobody cooks egusi soup with eggs. It's boiled separately and added.

descarado:
Let us hear abeg. All west Africans make egusi soup their own ways. Maybe you guys think it's only Ghana and Nigerian soup. The same way we claim jollof rice yet the country it came from don't make noise about it or fried rice.

So what's difference between what I said and what you're saying now?
