Is it not possible to place all political office holders on minimum wages? I guess this will put an end to workers going on strike due to poor renumeration. Also, let their academic qualifications determine their levels and steps just as we have it in all parastatals.

Throwback:



But with which money do you want to get higher minimum wage, when the N18k that is too small was the best the FG could do when crude oil was selling above $100/barrel?

And the drop in that crude oil price reduced government revenue and reduced state allocations that has led to owed salaries and half salaries in most states with poor IGR?

So with what funds will the FG now pay above N18k? Or is crude oil that is running our mono-economy now selling above $200/barrel?


As for allegations of opposition sponsoring strikes or protests, that has always been the easier scapegoat of blame.

where did the billions spent recklessly on both Ekiti and osun elections came from? over #400b is already on ground for next year elections. abeg where did the money come from?

Mizwisdom:
How do we stop prices of goods and services from increasing when salary does? If this happens then what is the benefit of salary increment

you're indeed mizwisdom.

2019elections:

FYI, FCT paid salary since 21st.

U mean d Same FCT Dat I am, u must be joking

Aaahhhhh... Strike on my Wedding Day?
When I intentionally put it on Thursday to reduce the crowd. NLC no do well at all.

If NLC truly is concerned with the welfare of workers then they should ensure all states at present owes no one a single penny. Talking about the state I know well off - for the past few years have placed people on so called 'modulated salary'. If at 18k so many states even find it hard to comply then why the increase to 45k. For emphasis, I am not saying 18k is good enough in present economic situation of the country but how many even get this as at when due?

This type of elephant requests should be done away with. If FG can pay what about states? What about local governments? Infact how many private institutions can afford to make a min of 45k wage? How many shops can even pay sales girl 45? From which profit? It is honestly not feasible.

Before you know it, their union leaders are sorted and the common man continue to suffer. Or can they pretend not to know that some states are owing workers more than a years worth of their hard earned sweat?

Putting salary in fixed deposit right But loosing how many trillions in daily basis for how long So which one is better off The government should do the needful after all this our country Nigeria is among the highest producing oil in the world.

2019elections:
The labour Congress has declared a nationwide strike starting firm 12:01am on Thursday 26th of September 2018 following the NEC's inability to agree on minimum wage structure

Is Thursday 26th September 2018 in your own world/village?

Lala...daily bread is here.
My thought is that how will this strike better the lives of the citizens. Am just thinking loud.

Waht do ya knwo?

gambus007:

Don't say what you don't know. A level 4 officer earns 23k per month in the Ministry level 3 get less. If 40k is the least why the strike? Get your fact right please.

thanks. some people argue without fact. Even level 6 in Lagos state doesn't earn 30k per month. go and do your findings

What of those inbpower running secret bank accounts wt no bvn nos? It's High time we fight for what belongs to us! No be say this govt dey do any project sef.

2019elections:


My only fear is osun state.

Inec sef join labour Union. They may boycott election rerun

the election will hold, the strike is not for all! Paramilitary and NYSC wont go on strike, doctors wont go on strike too. Our salary payers won't go on strike.
I be comrade, na me dey talk am

mrvitalis:

That's the truth... How can you tell me as a man you can't make 70k a month... That's rubbish

840k in a year?

Brick layers make more, bus conductor make more

Go to your village plant pawpaw in all your land trust me you would make more... It's now how you start... If you remain their that's the problem

Lazy people blaming government for everything

because you have the means does not mean others do, do you know how much people have put in to make earns meet? you just stay in the comfort of your home and blab, you think it's all that rosy? Smh,bros travel and see, people are going through hell in this country and it's not that they don't put in much efforts cos they do, the country is bleeped nigga.

delkuf:
it shall be well with you. I wonder how some people think. do you know that there families that live on 18k per month. people are suffering. when the Senate want increase there salary last year, It didn't take them more than a month. this guys are collecting millions of naira every month. Now the civil servant are asking for 56k per month, one idiot is how is It going to benefit the masses. those that are against this strike are not civil servant. so they think they have nothing to gain, that is why they are against it.

I swear!most of dem here r mere JAMBITES just quick yan rust online! I wonder how somebody will be paid even 15k to take home at month end to feed a family! But wen it comes to a bladi warddrobe allowance they will do the maths n start eating money

Government employed 5% of the population and most states unable to pay the current minimum wage. If the minimum wage is increased what will happen to 95% of the population and will all states pay the new minimum wage?. Things will make sense one day

RevenGeMission:
And for you to work for government and earn 18k per month it means you have SSCE and you are the messenger , 18K IS NOT BASIC SALARY , IT IS MINIMUM WAGE

also when PDP and Jonathan was selling crude at ~$150/Barrel, they didn't ask for it , now that the economy is recovering from reccession and massive developmental projects are ongoing is when they want to strike , This has PDP's fingerprint all over it , but it's not my business

I'll hope NEPA , Police, DSS , ARMY , Water corporation, Hospitals and everybody else joins the strike that way , we can all suffer the consequences , those with relatives in hospital, those in areas where there's no water, those whose street are being protected by police , and when there's no light to watch Dstv or Startimes, everybody's brain will resent

ButterflyLeo , what do you think ?

one of my friends earns 40k as a msc holder #smh, upon say d guy finish fr uk oh. This govt shaaaa
