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.

Nsukka – The contest for the 15th Vice Chancellor of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, UNN, has, today, ended with Prof. Charles Igwe emerging the new VC.

Igwe, who jostled for the position with other 64 professors, emerged the best after a thorough screening constituted by the UNN Governing Council. He is a professor of Soil Science, Faculty of Agriculture.

Confirming the development, the Deputy Registrar of the Governing Council, Charles Ebizie, however said that Prof. James Ogbonna came second while Prof. Cyprian Onyeji took the third position. He described the processes that produced Igwe as free and fair.

My teacher used to tell me back then, that reading and studying do consume more glucose and burn more fat than exercise. I wonder if Onoghe is reading anything before he delivers any judgement. If yes, his fat cheek doesn't support that..Him, Atiku, Saraki and Wike somehow bear resemblance...I can't say if they have similar characteristics. Let me leave his matter.
I kept Wondering where corrupt people we run to when Buhari wins, some of them will swim from here to Ghana. I thank God for his infinite mercy that kwara is a landlock state, Saraki can't swim to anywhere. If he decided to go to Lagos and find an escape route, he will be nabbed before getting to ogbomosho or osogbo( which ever route he takes). He will be sentenced to life imprisonment, and both primary and secondary school students will be going on an excursion to visit him and their teachers will be telling them that if you are an armed robber or thief, this is how you life will end. This will go along way to inculcate discipline in to our younger generation. Looks like my prophecy, I'm not a prophet. Happy Sunday to our dear wailers.#aproudzombies.

A Frustrated man is not different from a madman. But I am very sure ,many people will run mad when Buhari will be declared winner come February 17th, nothing anybody can do to prevent it. I pity their souls because they may not recover from the shock announcement

BabaO2:
No corrupt individual will be allowed to lead any of the so called EU and US supreme court. Onnoghen playing crude by not allowing NJC to convene. Buhari has acted in the best interest of reasonable and future Nigerians, we cannot afford rogues to be in sensitive leadership position as supreme court of Nigeria

chosengocap:
If the President can remove a Chief Justice based on a
"court order".....then he can also remove ALL Supreme Court
Judges and the INEC Chief...
The President can also replace the entire elected Legislature
with "court orders"
The Governors can also remove State Chief Judges...
The world will not end in 2019.....
Be careful what you condone in 2019.
My own is to post

ArcFresky:
Tbh PMB is surrounded by enemies... Senate (Saraki), Judiciary ( Onnoghen), House of reps, Former DSS chairman...

I think the man is trying, but he is too old, no more mental and physical strength.

But why is everyone suddenly calling PMB a dictator, in saner climes, when you have millions that you can't account for, you resign.. Especially when you hold an office that should be impeccable.


Onnoghen implicated himself by claiming mistake in forgetting millions in his account, automatically tainting him and rendering all his previous, present and future actions as CJN questionable and subject to challenges in law courts.

Some actions are not legal but are ethical, because it beats my imagination that
Onnoghen wants to be tried in court by people he appointed to court, what nonsense.

Although am not in support of PMB's actions, but somethings require a different approach.

Remember, everything Hitler did was illegal.

Actually I did not read the post but I think the girl has no right to beat up her boyfriend in public. Maybe they should report the matter to their village elders but if the neighbour refuse to pay his rent they should just kill the landlord and forget about the missing car.
