Okay

Nonsense running after shadow. If that country was like Nigeria will she assume that position?

You haven't Celebrate your citizens who are in hell-like environment and yet smiling, you are celebrating who no send you.

I go with alert. When i see alert i will know their conclusion.

Prayer is good but faith without work is dead. Prayer without action is frustrations and confusion.

We need more action towards freedom from our greedy, selfish, insensitive, unproactive and unconcerned leaders who focus more on amassing wealth to themselve and keeping the people in abject poverty by manipulations in the name of politics.

In Nigeria today those who are hungry are fighting for and defending those who are eating their food, while still crying for hunger...no be juju be that?

Bobrisky arrested again.

Yes on personal account.

As of mid-October 2024, the push for a new minimum wage of ₦70,000 is underway across Nigeria. Some states have already committed to or surpassed the federal wage, while others are still negotiating or facing challenges. Here's an overview of the current situation:States Implementing or Committing to the New Wage:

Lagos State: Approved ₦85,000, with plans to increase to ₦100,000 by January 2025.

Rivers State: Set the new minimum at ₦85,000, effective from October 18.

Ogun State: Workers will receive ₦77,000 starting October 14.

Gombe State: Agreed to ₦71,451.15 after negotiations.

Ondo State: Approved a new minimum wage of ₦73,000.

Kogi State: Will pay ₦72,500, with tax exemptions for the first year.

Anambra, Ebonyi, Katsina, Adamawa, Borno, Nasarawa, and Oyo States: Confirmed the ₦70,000 minimum wage rollout before the end of 2024.

States Yet to Fully Commit or Facing Challenges:

Gombe and Kogi States: Have expressed financial concerns, making it hard to pay the new wage.

Plateau and Kebbi States: Still negotiating with labor unions.

Osun and Delta States: In the process of setting up committees to explore the feasibility of the wage adjustment.

Bayelsa and Borno States: Formed committees, but have not finalized implementation strategies.

These disparities highlight the varied financial realities of states across Nigeria. Some are moving swiftly to address workers' needs, while others struggle to meet the new wage demands due to limited resources.What do you think about the progress on this minimum wage implementation?

Is your state ready to meet the new standards?

God bless SIM. Next is to conclude the employment process of the new teachers.

God really bless him. If na some people there maths go favour only road, welfare of the people zero.

23Ju:
Everyone cursing Sim is now quiet. I wonder why human being is like this.

Against the initial criticism at least SIM has done the needful. Let Celebrate him.

SIM don "throw high tension for ground", everybody, even him enemies dey shock.

He is killing his political ambition gradually. What concern you with unrealistic, allow the governor he has his plan...and know what is in Lagos State account.

This country is not for the weak

I know a POS Operator who is in court over these same issue with is 3 million frozen. Though the criminal have said he is not part of them...they only use is POS to collect 10,000 not knowing the transafer account is been tracked.

SP Bright Edafe, the Public Relations Officer of Delta State Police Command, recently shared details about a case involving a suspected kidnapper. The incident took place in Ughelli, Delta State, where a woman was abducted on September 25, 2024.

A ransom of ₦4,000,000 was collected, part of which was withdrawn using the victim's account. Following the arrest of one suspect, Timothy Ochuko, who was found with ₦500,000 from the ransom, the police continued investigations, leading to further operations involving other gang members.

Edafe emphasized that investigations are ongoing and warned POS operators to be cautious to avoid inadvertently aiding criminal activities

WHICH STATE IS NEXT?

BREAKING NEWS FOR OGUN WORKERS:

The Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, has approved the sum of N77,000 as the minimum wage for the lowest worker in the state, and the payment takes immediate effect.

This decision was revealed after a meeting of the state government led by the Secretary to the State Government, Tokunbo Talabi, and the leadership of the organized labour in Ogun State, comprising the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Trade Union Congress (TUC), and the Joint Negotiating Council (JNC), to discuss the implementation of the new minimum wage.

The secretary to the state government said the meeting was at the instance of Governor Abiodun who he stated has directed that no worker in the state should earn less than N77,000 starting from the month of October.

He stated that the governor means well for the people of the state and has proactively taken steps to further ameliorate the suffering of the people.

According to him, Governor Dapo has also advised the organized private sector to take a cue from the policy, as their workers are not exempt from the economic realities in the country, to improve the living standards of people in the state holistically.

The SSG also noted that the governor has therefore advised that the private sector should dialogue with their relevant stakeholders to arrive at a commensurate minimum wage for the sector while he will set up a monitoring team to see how it is implemented by the private sector to ensure no one is short-changed.

On his part, the NLC chairman in Ogun State, Chairman, Hameed Benco, said the organised labour in the state is very pleased that the Governor has approved N77,000 as minimum wage in consultation with labour leaders, noting that is the highest in the country.

Benco said that some states that have implemented the new minimum wage are paying N70,000, while some pay N70,250 or less, adding that the other sectorial salaries will be affected accordingly.

He also mentioned that the government has graciously approved the submission of labour and that the new basic salary should not be taxed.

In the same vein, Akeem Lasisi of the TUC and his counterpart, Isa Olude of the JNC, commended the government for being worker-friendly.

They noted that consequential adjustments for pensioners and other matters will be announced after due consultation with the relevant stakeholders.

In his reaction, the Ogun State Head of Service, Kehinde Onasanya, said the approval of the generous minimum wage for workers underscores the responsiveness and sensitivity of the governor and the government to the plight of the workers and the general populace of the state.

Lifu again?

Na still ABUJA connection. Highest bidder...what money cannot do more money will do.

seanfer:
This justice Lifu is now the force causing many political issues in the country. Is he the only Judge in the FHC Abuja division?
How come he is the only one giving all manners of order in favour of a certain politician in Abuja?

Na NJC and NBA you go blame. Their silence means approval.

If they all drop God fatherism and state control and give respect to whom respect is due in their leadership hirachy without selfish interest, hatred or greed, they will be fine as one...

but i fear the heart of man...that why is important that even in the face of peace you must not loose gaurd.

bixton:
The court is not the problem. The problem is with the individial who goes to court.

How? I expect court to teach the individual how to uphold the rule of law in any case that come before it. Not give injunction and counter injunction or order against order.

Even if someone come with money as in bribe to avert justice he or she should be disgrace before the court if possible or the judges should not compromise but punish the individual.

Nigeria Justice System Need Reform. Even though the individuals are part of the problem..the biggest problem is the judiciary.

Gunshots rang out and properties were set ablaze in Ikwerre LGA on Monday, following the announcement of the weekend's local government election results.

Tensions escalated when some youths stormed the LGA secretariat, shortly after police unsealed the premises, protesting the resumption of the newly elected chairman. The protesters, angered by the election outcome, attempted to halt the chairman’s resumption, leading to a chaotic scene of violence and destruction.

What do you think about this unfolding situation in Ikwerre LGA? Was the election process flawed, or is this just political rivalry playing out?

Over the weekend, the Rivers State Local Government election was held under tense conditions, with a backdrop of ongoing political conflicts between the Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Nyesom Wike, and the Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara.

The election was mired in controversy due to conflicting court orders and the absence of security operatives. The Action Peoples Party (APP), widely believed to be aligned with the Rivers State Governor, emerged victorious in 22 out of 23 Local Government Areas (LGAs).

Amid these tensions, gunshots were reported in Obio Akpor LGA, Ikwerre LGA and Eleme LGA allegedly in an attempt to stop the resumption of the newly elected chairman. Despite these challenges, the elected chairmen were swiftly sworn in on Sunday, sparking widespread reactions across the state.

What do you think of the recent developments? Are these signs of more political drama to come, or will this usher in a new era for Rivers State politics?

Let’s discuss!

iLoveYouToo:
The funny thing is , I just hope Fubara doesn’t think he’ll control these guys cos they may surprise him like he surprised Wike. Let’s watch and see.

Fubara is not the control type. Politics is full of suprises and most time they are prepared.

ObosiLandlord:
Everybody already knows this is how it will end, even Wike himself knows.

Anybody that's not happy should go to court

The Senate must fast track the bill that will make a new federal agency be in charge of holding LG elections all over Nigeria

As per the Law it will hold no water, there will be loophole or way of manipulations. If the oga at the top can enter with wayo what do ypu expect...what we need to kill is corruption.

Our leaders are CORRUPT, I MEAN VERY VERY CORRUPT AND GREEDY. No law can work in a corrupt system.

bixton:
Even the Rivers State Governor ought to have sought the court to interpret its own order in this instance...
On a ordinary telling the NPF to not provide security or be involved in such an election given the political fights between a predecessor and successor ordinarily means there should be no election and the governor cannot sought out to use private security outfits in place of constituted ones.

Well, let's see what the day will be like and please let's all be careful and mindful as we go about the day's activities.

The court is the problem how can they solve a problem they caused.

On one hand you said you are barred from the election by court rule...which means commot body and that made you to withdraw all government house police.

On the other hand you said you sent operational officers to go and protect the RIEC over night as a good and professional officer....( without informing the governor)... with this action, are you unbarring yourself from the court order or playing with peoples intelligence. I dont really understand that aspect of overnight security and withdrawal of police same time.

PDP dont know what they are doing to themselve, always confuse behaving like Nicodemus, by the time APC or PDAPC take over they will cry. All the whole confusion is toward 2027 and only one beneficiary in focus....oga at the top.

APC and PDP are now one under Tinubu Government. This Marriage is good for Nigeria Politics as long as APC paid all the Bride Price of PDP. Because that will make APC remain the head of the family without permutation and combination.

The same protesters will vote that day. Most of the people always collect from both side because of hunger.

samplebrown:
And what does he stand to lose?

That is the point. I think is goal is not second term, is to be incharge of his tenure as a governor without interference since he will give account of his everything that happen in his tenure. Moreover, i also think the plan of impeacement gave him that moral to put his two feet on the ground to avoid disgrace which made things to fall apart.

Like you said, i agree with you he has nothing to loose from every point . People see him as capacity governor.

SmartPolician:
I advise Rivers people to stay away from that election for their safety. That election will be an avenue where Sim Vs Wike is tested. Typically, elections in Rivers State are always distorted by thugs shooting guns let alone when there's power tussle between two powerful men.

Hmm. All i see is once the election hold is over, no matter what happens. i think rivers are use to their thing. The battle is to make sure it hold while they settle any grievance in court.

The Dominican Republic has recently ramped up efforts to curb illegal immigration from Haiti, leading to the capture and deportation of many undocumented individuals. With the ongoing economic and political instability in Haiti, more people are crossing the border in search of better opportunities.

However, the Dominican Republic is facing its own challenges, such as unemployment and limited resources, making this a highly sensitive issue.

While some view these actions as necessary for protecting the Dominican Republic’s sovereignty, others argue that the government should approach this with more empathy, considering the dire circumstances in Haiti.

The tension is rising, and both nations are struggling to find a balance.What are your thoughts on this? Should the Dominican Republic continue its crackdown, or is there a better way to handle the situation? Share your opinions below.
