Parking in front of a bank is not allowed for security reasons

Current crop of guys in NLC got no ball.....

Nigerian Government can pay more than 50,000 minimum wage, Shut down the Government, let's burn Aso Rock

This shit and ASUU don taya me.

so they agreed on 30k and they are pricing it to 27k

this dont make sense....this is something already....nlc should accept and continue the battle another day....

Half loaf of bread is better than none,#18,000 is not realistic talk more of #30,000.after 16th February 2019,all agitations and protect will quanch like fire both ASUU,asup and nlc will regret not accepting the once available.
Because nothing will stop president Muhammadu buhari from Winning.

NLC is not going to get their 30000 minnimum wage....because the government cannot afford it.

Oil yesterday was $62 per barrel. Yes, it is $2 dollars above the minimum set for budget...but it is still far less than our 2017 breakeven price of $140 per barrel.

The breakeven price of oil is the price we need oil to be to have enough revenue to fund a budget sans borrowing, sans deficit.

Since Bubu took over, oil has never been above $75 on average. So, essentially, we are earning at least $70 less than we need per barrel of oil in revenue.

And NLC now wants a salary increase.

The only way NLC gets an increase is either

1.Government cuts things like fuel subsidy, subsidy for educaiton, ...meaning that fees go up,and petrol retails for N250 per liter and above.

2.Government takes a loan to keep essential services running...while it redierects money to pay the wage from other ministries.

3.Yes, they need to cut their allowances. Yes, N1 trillion is a lot of money to spend on our National Assembly...and we need to cut it. But that means that things like constituency projects, etc as well as jobs (senators and reps employ people too) would have to be cut...and I doubt the money would be enough.

Yes, Buhari should have diversified. The problem is,

1.Agriculture has not earned enough cash for us since the early 1980's. To rebuild our capacity in agriculture is going to take time...plus we have very very stiff competition (The South East used to be world leaders in palm oil. Now ...it is Malaysia and Indonesia. Can the SE rebuild its capacity to what it was in the 1960's).

2.Mining too...needs a lot of regulation. There is so much illegality there that cleaning up the sector is going to take years.

The thing is, e no go easy to pay this minimum wage. I hear people shouting Governemt is corrupt...and yes, they are right. The current government is not exempt from corruption. But even if we removed corruption....giving everyone an increase is not going to help.

Add the fact that the increase is for government workers only. Meaning..the private sector is going to come under pressure to match the public sector...increasing costs for a sector that is already finding it hard in Nigeria.Meaning...long term..investments get pulled out...jobs get lost.

So,let's face facts Nigeria...this country is not rich...and we need to make the hard choices to adjust to that fact. If NLC expects govt to fund a salary raise with oil prices that are too low to fund it...then they better get ready for more loans, or cuts elsewhere.

Either Nigeria takes the hard road to industrial development, or we keep on with our silly sharing money economics that we have been doing since 1960. ...which is why we are still underdeveloped.

I don talk my own.

In 2015 minimum wage was 18,000... Which is $90.... But now, minimum wage is 27,000... But $75.... Check out the difference... Failed government

And you failed to tell us the source for paying the minimum wage which is crude oil was $120 per barrel then in 2013/2014 and now the same source to pay the minimum wage is $60 per barrel.

yusscity:
Good,second to comment

Good. If thief Buhari can cut his bald hair with 300 million, Labour deserves better

Mugu and you believe N300m was used to cut hair? Truly PDP e warriors are brain dead. The same propaganda that failed you woefully in 2015.

This set of labour leaders are disappointing even ASUU wouldn't fall for this skim exhibited by the federal government

What kind of stupid journalism is this? So the council of states is now the federal government?

Should the federal government force states into paying what they don't want to pay? Federal government have said they will pay 30k, states (some) said they can't pay, why can't labor target those states dragging foot instead of this rubbish statement?

Is Federal government the one to decide what state will pay?

As much as i enjoyed your analysis, why are the senators still taking exorbitant salaries and allowances? Can't their national cake be slashed to accommodate this agitation? Must the common Nigerian citizen always be the ones to pay for the Federal Government and cabal's greediness and selfishness? Think about it, you will realize..the 30k minimum wage is very doable...

Blacksodje:
Is less than $100 to much to be paid to as Nigerian worker at the end of the month?

Why drag #3000 with NLC as if say una dey price tomatoes for mile12 market.

as much as I support nlc been paid whatever they are asking for , my question is will they nlc also increase productivity, performance ? have you ever gone to govt offices and see how most people are busy doing nothing? some are peeling egusi , gossiping ,selling recharge cards etc

Labour need to go and do 2 months I.T with ASUU on how to strike
