KINGwax: Our problem in nigeria is d lack of education. If d law was passed, it won't mean some organizations can't owe, even legally tru by-laws. All they got to do is create a clause in their appointment letter and they can owe up to a month!!

Pergrace: A new bill before the House of Representatives has proposed stiff penalties for employers of labour in both the public and private sectors who fail to pay or delay the payment of workers’ salaries.

The bill passed second reading on Tuesday, getting the support of the majority of lawmakers at a session presided over by the Speaker, Mr. Aminu Tambuwal.

It also proposes that underpayment of workers’ wages; pension and emolument will attract sanctions.

According to the sponsor of the bill and House Minority Leader, Mr. Femi Gbajabiamila, the penalties will include the loss of 10 to 20 per cent of the value of the delayed salary.

He explained that after a salary delay of one week, the employer would begin to lose percentages of the salary, which would be added to the employee’s pay.

Gbajabiamila said, “Late payment or no payment of salary encourages corruption. People are forced to seek unlawful means to meet their financial and family obligations. It is our responsibility as legislators to protect the welfare of the citizenry. There is no point saying you have a job, yet no pay.

“This bill prescribes a period, beginning from seven days; the employer will pay a percentage in addition to the salary. From 10 per cent, it can rise to 20 per cent, and so on.”

Another member, Mr. Jerry Manwe, blamed the problem of non-payment of salaries on employers’ greed.

He said a practice common in some government agencies was to lodge workers’ salaries in fixed deposit accounts to yield interests for “some greedy officials, who keep telling the suffering workers that there is no money.”

Also backing the bill, Mr. Godfrey Gaiya, observed that employment was a contract between the employer and the employee.

“A labourer deserves his wage,” he said.

An attempt by the House Deputy Majority Leader, Mr. Leo Ogor, to oppose the bill, however, failed.

Ogor claimed that criminalising salary delays or non-payment of salaries could lead to “more problems that the bill intends to solve.”He argued that some delays could be caused by “cash-flow challenges and not that the employer does not want to pay.”

But, his position on the bill was defeated by a majority voice vote endorsing it

Jodesky: I've been following your posts and I am left in no doubt that your choice of words and presentation clearly manifests your gutter upbringing. It is demeaning to come down to your level and that explains why I will not trade words with you. There is no meeting point between you and I. Light is not synonymous with darkness, a dumbhead of your ilk cannot engage in any sensible conversation with me and my sympathy goes to your folks. You are at liberty to continue to wander aimlessly in your wilderness of ignorance and mediocrity while feigning some pyrrhic victory founded on an illusory battle.

Go get medical help, you really need it.

afam4eva: I think they should have proffered an alternative to okadas. We only know how to condemn but never profer solutions.

seyi42k: You are employing sophism in you arguement. I grew up listening to classical music and my church (Apostolic Faith) has a choir and orchestra with at least 100 members playing different instruments every sunday. I can assure you that music has a message.

Have you ever watched a documentary of fans attending a rock concert? Have you analysed their effect on your brain? Do you know music carry subliminal messages that directly affect our moods? Do you know you can have an idea of who a person by the kind of music they listen to the most?

Now, I am not saying one cannot appreciate or listen to other kinds of music once in a while, however the music you hold dear to you heart says a lot about you.

- People with suicidal or rebellious tendencies gravitate to rap or rock or heavy metal.

- People with high level of sophistication ( real or feigned) gravitate towards jazz or classicals or blues/soul

- People with romantic tendencies gravitate towards R&B.

- A Nigerian Activist will probably love Fela's music e.t.c

I know these are generalizations that may not hold true in all situations but believe me, if you really want to know the kind of person you are or you may become, analyse the music that you appreciate. You will be surprised.

Lol....


That na for Winning Eleven 4 that kind thing happen last....






FIFA is a game for those who don't appreciate pure unadulterated soccer gaming.. I played FIFA 2012 whilst on vacation in June, I was so pissed off I almost smashed my control pad..


Konami needs to step up their publicity campaign, although I doubt it will be as successful as EA Sports which is a richer company and also American.


PES for life...

Oahray: Hahahaha... @Unknown member and @ ESULAALU; dis una fight na for everywhere.
