I have come to realized that there are millions of Muguns/Mumus in this country and that’s why politicians are just taking us for granted.All these”I have one shoe,enter economy flight,don’t waste money are all formats.
The Saint OBI claimed he invested $20m and that as at today has gained interests to $100m ,how come the state government is contradicting that statement?Nigerians, shine your eyes and make God not less us miss Buhari

okewumi:
Everything is all about leadership. Asiwaju knows how to assign right people that will get job done for him. He did it in Lagos during his regime as a governor.
You can be intelligent but if you don't know how to select right people in your cabinet, it will be a problem.

Lolz. Lizard thinking himself as crocodile, don't worry you will be taught a bitter lesson in 2023, if you win any state outside SE come and arrest me.

SangoOlukosoOba:
"If"

Nigeria would have been in a confused state.

They would have used the pandemic as an excuse to siphon what's left in our treasury.

GEJ's government was a "looting for all" and lawlessness.

If not not for the intervention of the Almighty God, GEJ and his cronies would have ruined the present and future of Nigeria.

But we still must be grateful to God almighty to have made our years of pains , turn into joy via the emancipation of His Excellence President Mohammadu Buhari (GCFR)




I hate to quote people but when I read comments like this, I'll nearly throw away my phone in anger. Its obvious some of us have sold our birthright for whatever stipend politicians give us but I must tell people like you that posterity will judge u and karma is real. In sane climes, even politicians from different political parties, believes and ideologies form a common front on national issues and for the spirit of patriotism but here, we sale our conscience for pecuniary reasons. Any body supporting the impunity, massive corruption and looting even administrative blindness of this present government is an enemy of state. I call this present government "The messiah of death". Government of GEJ left Nigerians in the state of Coma I believe, but this government has killed us and its even burying us. Please use this your resourceful knowledge to advocate for better governance it will pay me and you more, Desist from mediocrity its disastrous.

See this too many times, that maybe it's necessary to set the record straight.

Factory and warehouse jobs the world over are terrible. Go read accounts about minimum-wage workers in Amazon processing centers who have to pee in bottles to save time. That's a company with a $990b market cap.

This also explains why automation is seeing rapid growth in that sector, with the hope that the factories and warehouses of the future will not employ humans.

The question really is would you or anyone you know buy cabin biscuit for N40 apiece to help provide the "humane" working conditions you hastily propose for the factory workers? Or isn't this just the ironic conundrum that those who decry conditions regarded as representative of modern slavery are often the most price-conscious consumers.

Same individuals who'd go to a local eatery (commonly called mama put) and want a large serve of rice, beans, plantain, two large-sized cuts of meat all for less than $1 if possible. And then when they're told the worker is paid less than 10k monthly after "slaving" from 6 to 6, they begin fuming like they've ever tipped or make it a point to pay excess.

If you think you can run a factory that pays much better, gives lots of breaks, paid vacations, even maternity/paternity leave to low-skilled workers; while simultaneously offering low market price or even better undercutting the competition, paying off your double-digit loans timely, and providing double-digit returns to investors and shareholders; please write a business plan and I can guarantee you you'd become a billionaire in 5 years as capital will find you instead of the other way around.

Gala has been sold at 50 naira for over 10 years. In that same time minimum wage has risen from 9800 to 30000, and NGN/USD rate has risen from 100/$ to 360/$. Now if UAC says they want to increase the price to 150 to match the wage and rate increase; how many of you would buy?

This is the type of economic illiteracy that leads to the election of nutjobs like Buhari and AOC.

There's no emotion in the jungle or the real world. Employers do not just arbitrarily choose what to pay workers, the market determines what to pay workers.

That is why entry doctors in Nigeria earn $6000 while their mates in the US earn 6 figures. The difference however is that while childbirth by CS in Nigeria stays below $800 in total; in the US, it goes for about or over $10k (you can check the giving birth thread on NL). In fact, a woman was quoted $877,000 after having triplets. Heart transplants can reach 7 figures.

I'd like to see people proffer solutions on how to address wage inequality without the emotional-laden diatribes. That last bit disgusts me!
Bros I'm gonna take u on this.you mentioned gala, have you taken ur time to check the quantity and quality of gala now compare to d period u quoted? UAC adjusted both in quality and quantity to meet up with all the economic changes u mentioned and that is d smartest move rather than tampering with price which will be very obvious and counter productive.(2) Nigeria runs an open market (capital economy) that is to say, producers in often times decide what to produce, how to produce it when and where to produce it even for who to produce it hence they also determines who to employ.This simply means that once a producer have a target on production quantity in a period of time with profit inclusive, there is every tendency he will maximise it, now tell me sir, what stops such producer to pay his workers well since those are all captured in every production plan?remember there is no limit to d sales and profit he will make (forget about d profit in unit price, concentrate on demand).modern slavery is when we believe that unskilled labourers has nothing to offer in production line hence they are poorly treated but in a country like nigeria where humans do almost all d odd jobs, we should have a rethink.

Bolustical:
Now that things went PDP's ways

a) Democracy isn't in danger

b) Judiciary is no longer controlled by the Buhari

c) Justice Mohammed Tanko is no longer a puppet to the Presidency.

d) Judiciary is the hope of the common man.

But when things go sour, the aforementioned becomes non-existent.

To believe that a judiciary that gave negative judgment that led to the losses of APC in Rivers and Zamfara states is controlled by Buhari is nothing but foolishness.

I just hope we believe in our institutions for once and that their decisions may not always favour our parties.
