Politics › Re: List Of Minimum Wages By Countries Of The World. by wirinet(m): 8:23am On Oct 01, 2018

If Nigerians deserve an increase of minimum wage from N18,000 to N56,000, then Nigerian transporters deserve an increase in minimum transport fares from N100 to N100, landlords deserve an increase in minimum rent of N2000 per month to N6000 per month and even farmers deserve an increase in minimum price of yam from N150 to N450.
When you have more money pursuing the same goods and services, that's economics 101's definition of inflation.
Labour has been increasing minimum wage from time immemorial, what had been the impact on the masses? Hyper inflation.
Labour should have been fighting for an increase in motorable roads to reduce transport fares, they should have been striking for increase of fertilisers and a reduction of price to make food cheaper. They should have been picketing government houses to provide the masses with good public hospitals and affordable health insurance. What about schools, should labour not demand more schools and free books to bring down school fees? Instead, they are always striking for increase in wages that inflation always overtakes in a matter of weeks.

You cannot set minimum wage in isolation of other economic parameters like population, GDP, government earnings, level of infrastructure, etc.
Nigeria is one of the poorest nations in terms of GDP per capita.
At 18,000 minimum wage, our recurrent expenditure is already over 70% of total budget. If we multiply that by 3, we would need to borrow from China just to pay salaries. We could have zero infrastructural development, which is what is critical for actual economic development.

We simply need to create more and better goods and services and inflation will naturally come down. As long as we have more money chasing the same number of goods and services in an economy, inflation is an inevitability.

NYSC › Re: Should NYSC Be Reformed Or Scraped? See Twitter Poll Result by wirinet(m): 6:53am On Oct 01, 2018

It should be reformed.
In it's present form, to me it is utterly useless. It does nothing to national and personal development. It subjects graduates to unnecessary risks and sufferings.

First why restrict it to only graduates? It should cover Nigerian youths of a certain age group. Graduates are less than 30% of Nigerian youths. All patriotic Nigerian youth should be given opportunity to serve their nation.

Secondly, the so called military training is useless. A two weeks exercise does not help the individual nor the nation. The training does not train on the use of ammunition or military tactics, that is why they are easy targets of terrorists and bandits. If they had actual military training, they would be able to defend themselves better when attacked by terrorists and criminals. The NYSC members cannot be called upon as reserve in times of war. Other countries with similar programs usually call on their youth corps members in times of armed conflict. Nigeria is so weak at the moment that we cannot defend ourselves if attached by a fairly strong enemy.

The program does nothing to develop entrepreneurial skills. There are few salary jobs out there, so the government should take entrepreneurial training more serious to solve our unemployment issues.

It's not about genes? It's about chromosomes. Genes make up chromosomes. Now two x chromosomes makes a female, while 1x and 1y chromosomes make a males. But, sometimes a man can have an extra x chromosome, making him xxy. In that case the person would exhibit both male and female characteristics.

Trump fired the FBI, director and is about firing the deputy attorney general of the US, all in an attempt to kill the Russia investigation. If Buhari does these what will you say?

I do not see how the electoral act overrule the constitution. The constitution did not specify that all elections must be held in the same day. An election can continue to the next day or even the following week.
Areas where elections did not take place and result declared would not be an issue, the problem would be INEC cancelling an election after a result has been declared at the polling unit.

You did not get your facts right. Elections was cancelled in 2 wards because the card reader did not work, and the electoral act stipulate the use of card readers.
In another ward there was violence, so the voters could not vote.

So you see, it was not the fault of the voters or the parties that the elections were cancelled in those wards.

This is the problem with the blackman, we view the world through emotional and sentimental prism, instead of using our moral and logical compass.

Even though I am not a lawyer, I see nothing unconstitutional or immoral in what INEC has done.

First they are following the electoral guild lines enacted by both PDP and APC legislators.

Secondly, is Ozekhome saying some people should be disenfranchised for no fault of theirs. If he says people that came to vote but could not vote due to no fault of theirs - maybe due to the INEC officers fault or security challenge, should not be allowed to vote again.

The problem here is that the margin is so close that the cancelled wards would make a difference in who becomes governor. If Adeleke had won with over 5,000 votes, then a rerun would have been unnecessary, but the difference was less than 500, meanwhile about 3000 voters were not allowed to vote.
What is wrong in asking those 3000 voters to come and vote. If no one rigs in the rerun elections, I do not see what the problem is.

What Ozekome is saying is that all a partisan INEC has to do to ensure its candidate win the election is to cancel wards and local government areas where the opponent is winning or likely to win and disenfranchise their voters.

Since there are very few wards, it should be easier to monitor and ensure there is no foul play.

Its logical to think that way but the 1999 consitutions does not agree with you. I think your answer is in what Iwu said

in this instance, according to the constitution, there can only be a re-run if it as to do with senate, house of rep etc not governorship and presidential that constitution clearly states how to run and win.

And Iwu did not read the 1999 constitution before introducing inconclusive elections;

However, we the initiators of the inconclusive elections realised that our proposal was against the provisions of the 1999 Constitution (as Amended), particularly the presidential and the governorship elections and returns.

And all of our legislators did not read the constitution before enacting section 153 of the electoral act.

It is only when inec followed what was introduced by Iwu and passed into law by the national assembly that you guys realized that inconclusive elections is against the constitution.

Maurice Iwu that conducted the house of assembly and governorship elections on the same day with voters voting in the same venue at the same time but with two different ballot papers. When Iwu discovered the governorship election was not going the way PDP envisaged, he cancelled the whole governorship elections in the state citing violence but upheld the house of assembly elections. This was what happened in Maurice Iwu's home state of Imo in 14th of April, 2007.

Maurice Iwu that conducted an election that even the winner( Umaru Yar'adua) accepted that it was flawed.

[s][/s]by your Summation, you are a little kid....
If you knew about FAYOSE antecedents in Ekiti State, you will understand that there was no way FAYOSE will lose Elections in Ekiti State..

Chief Obasanjo had to ensure he was Not a Candidate, if not he would have easily won back in 2007...

The ACN Candidate even congratulated him and said the people's wish had Prevailed!
We had Edo State... I Remember Adams Oshimole was crying Rigging when his name was announced as winner...

Use your brain well!

If you are capable of clear rational thinking, you should know that I was not talking about whether Fayose can win or lose election in Ekiti state, I was telling you that the Jonathan administration rigged Fayose into power.

If you truly know about ekiti politics, then you must suffer from selecting amnesia if you tell me you do not remember so many evidence showing how Fayose in collaboration with Brigadier General Momoh, Obanikoro and Omisore rig the 2014 ekiti election.
The whistle blower, captain Sagir Kylie, who had audio evidence had to flee the country to save his life.
Obanikoro himself has become born again and confessed how they rigged Fayose in.

Fayose is popular in Ekiti, no doubt but Obasanjo rejected him because he had serious allegations against him in Britain. Have you ever heard of Fayose travelling to the UK, US or any other western nations?

Fayemi congratulated him even before Fayose was declared winner, this is because Fayemi did not want to go through the rigours and expense of the legal process. Remember APC disagreed with him on challenging Fayose's victory.

I am not arguing that Jonathan's elections were significantly better than those before him, what I detest is you guys insinuating that elections under this government is the worst in Nigeria's history.

We are praying and working for Nigeria's advancement, but there is a section of the country that wish evil for Nigeria because they do not like the president, forgetting that Buhari is not Nigeria.

Under PDP votes were simply allocated to candidates with the results announced in Abuja even before collation at the collation centres.
