Nigerians sell themselves too cheap. I'm a staunch supporter of the Tinubu government, but I believe people shouldn't sell themselves too cheaply. THIS IS A SLAP IN THE FACE OF ALL NIGERIANS.

You are a STAUNCH FOOL!!!!

BASTARDDD

The Governors are the weapon fashion against Nigerians.
LGA Autonomy: Governors No.
House of Assembly Autonomy: Governors No.
Regular payment of Salary: Governors No.
Gratuities payment: Governors No.
Invest in Agriculture: Governors No.
Invest in MSMEs: Governors No.
Hold your state Governors, they are one of the major problem

spontan:


You are a STAUNCH FOOL!!!!

BASTARDDD

You don't know nothing

120k is not enough for a family of 5. So, I am not sure how N62k makes sense.

If the government increases it, market women will increase prices too.

Honestly, an increment of wages is not the answer to this crisis. It is a double-edged sword.

The answer is to fight the government and senators concerning looting and juicy take home they have. 300% increment for judiciary at this time should be resisted.

But can this happen? Nope.

So, you are all wasting your time. The moment we had Tinubu, Atuku, and Obi, who were all looters and thieves as the last presidential candidates, I knew we were going to be in soup.

A word is enough for the wise. Start growing your food. Many of you are complaining and giving excuses. OK, ooooo. You can not win the government.

Grow greens and fruits. Produce poultry meat and eggs. These are enough for you to survive Nigeria no matter the situation ahead.

I know you get coconut head. So, keep fighting the government. No be me hunger go kill. Na you. Lol.

60.61 would have made Onanuga and co happier🤣🤣🤣

As government increased their offer by 2k, Labour should have increased theirs by same 2k, heartless looters.

We all saw this coming. After all, N62,000 is higher than N60,000. Isn't it?
Shebi it was National Grid they shut down before. This time around, dem go kuku disconnect all the electric poles join. Let's see how this movie would eventually play out.

On a more serious note, NLC should make more pressing demands beyond minimum wage that affects the entirety of the Nigerian population, not just the civil servants and salary earners. How about insisting on government tackling the inflation rates and high cost of living, price regulation of goods and services, reducing the electricity tariffs, creating enabling policies for business owners and ensuring the welfare of every Nigerian.

NLC Ajaero and co know exactly what they are doing; if we can't have 'it', then let everything scatter - even if we have to use NLC/minimum wage as cover!

Emergency nigerians dem; the same country they've been wishing it's downfall o.

Person wey no know dem go think say they are speaking from a realm of genuine love for the country.

God pass all of una!

0001Lagos:
Let nobody blame the Labour union if they shut down the country again o..

Tinubu government is all out to make life unbearable for Nigerians but God will put him to shame

sweerychick:
.. honestly I don't know between a tomato 🍅 seller and FG who bargain pass. So after all deliberation and FG committed to increase minimum wage it's only 2k you guys can offer?.

.
That's because labour weakened it's position by calling off the strike

1. Why in the world is the aim for a family of 5 when instead minimum wage should be based on what individuals earn?

2. This is unnecessary fear-mongering? Did the same market women increase prices each time the reps and senators padded their pockets?

3. Nonsense! The international poverty line, which is currently $2.15 per person per day, is the threshold that determines whether someone is living in poverty. Given that, for an individual to escape poverty, he/ she needs to earn at least $64. 50 cents which is approximately Naira 94,893.69. If a raise is not given to these people that makes sense, you are looking at SKyrocketing poverty levels in Nigeria over the next few months and with that increased corruption, crime, etc.

4. First, securing better wages, the fight can be taken to them when they refuse to pay up.

5. I see you have never in fact worked on these things yourself. How long will it take people to grow those things? You speak as though farming happens overnight. Abeg commit ojare!

30k to 62k that is 101% increment... if FG raise am one create of egg go reach10k per create.... let get to understand these...

It seems you don't gerrit; NLC is not really fighting for the masses. It has since bcum a political tool to fight the sitting govt.

The inflation that resulted from the aftereffect afterr subsidy removal it's still there, now they want to intentionally ground the economy with their grandstanding. Have you not seen that the specific 'group' in nigeria (of which the NLC leader -ajaero- is a part of, are the main ones grandstanding that the strike must go on so long as the FG refuses to dance to their tune??

Go to page one of this thread and read the comments: the same ppl mocking the FG/Apc and it's followers are the same ppl who are the ringleaders in egging on NLC to emback on the strike.

The poster below is another example of what I was just saying: while he's 'agitating' for a humongous MW, he's also mockingly saying that they will increase the prices of their goods to neutralize the effect of the wage increase.

You can see that these 'group' is not sincere.

Nairalander248:


Dey play, once FG accept on the new wages, things will shoot up... everyone is waiting for FG to start paying new wages...

Do they consider themselves as nigerians??

If they are not nigerians at heart why should they play a part in what happens in nigeria??

This is alarmist nonsense! How come the price of eggs did not shoot up each of the many times your senators reps, and other politicians gave themselves raises of over 300% or more?

You are not getting it: FG can pay it's workers 300k/month but howany states can pay it's workers ordinary 50k??

Ordinary 30k wey be the previous minimum wage, how many states dey pay am before??

bentenny:
Can everyone now see that labour only used their initial offers as a negotiation to get what they want?
From 612k to 250k
Now FG should end this annoying addition of 2k and 3k by officially making it 100k so that we can focus on better things!

If armed robber come your house for night (God forbid) and say if u no provide 100m immediately den go kpai you, what will I do? Manufacture doney from thin air??

FG can even pay it's workers 200k but how many states fit? The ordinary 30k MW many of them still dey owe.

Clinghton:
If to say the strike still dey on as dem dey negotiate govt fit dance to labour tune.

NewHe:

It's not about FGN but about states and OPS!
I think N65-68 is OK

Not even close considering it does not in any way make up for the value lost as a result of the Naira crisis.

The Naira depreciated by at least 340% in value since February of 2023 causing the minimum wage formerly worth about $67.72 to depreciate significantly to just over $20.00 where it is today. Do you know what that means? it means that to get back to the buying power of their money as of February 2023, for example, the old minimum wage of Naira 30,000 would need to be boosted by at least 340% to bring it up to about Naira 102000 in today's money which is approximately a starting $68. This is all talking of the beginning point of the negotiations if the NLC is serious about in fact getting the minimum wage raised, and not merely adjusted for depreciation in the Naira value.

So, Naira 65,000 - Naira 68,000 is not OK.

If a former governor can use the money of the state to pay more than $800k as future school fees forhis children, why can't the same state pay what labour is asking for?

The governor should be in jail!
That money was meant for infrastructure.

If he had used d money for what it was budgeted for, it will not be lying fallow talkless of it being stolen.

This government funny gan.My crayfish seller can do better than them. Labour is clearly being taken for a ride, otherwise why will it take them a whole three days to announce that.

If they insist on being unreasonable the government will just keep owing them months of unpaid salary no bi Nigeria.
