Mumu, is it only civil servants that would be benefiting from government?
Must everything revolve around civil servants. We in the private sector are Nigerians too. We contribute in many ways to boost the economy.

Which worker?
Small businesses need to be alive and paying taxes for workers to be paid. Here we take all our funds and pay workers of corruption directly with half , then let same workers in connivance with public office holders loot the remaining half.

What happened to all the taxes paid already? Do you know? Do you even care to know

Makavelli001:
🙊 During the Soviet dictatorship of Joseph Stalin. He was a brutal dictator with a mind of his own.

On one fateful day, Stalin came to a Politburo meeting with a live chicken.

Standing in front of an audience, He started to pluck the feathers of the live chicken off one by one.

🚩The chicken trembled in pain, blood tricking out of its pores. It gave out grievous cries, but Stalin being a cruel dictator continued without remorse plucking the feathers out until the chicken was completely naked. After which, he threw the chicken on the ground.

🚩The naked chicken was staggering in pain. Stalin goes into his pocket and from his pockets, he took out some chicken food and started to throw it at the poor & helpless creature.

🚩The poor chicken in pain started eating and Stalin started walking toward his seat. As he walked away, he kept dropping some feeds on the floor & the chicken followed him and sat feeding from his feet.

📍Joseph Stalin then turned to members of his political party leadership.

🚩He said, "This chicken represents the people".

🚩"You must disempower them, brutalise them, beat them up, starve them and then leave them".

🚩"If you do this, go into your pocket & give them peanuts when they are in that helpless and desperate situation, they will blindly follow you for the rest of their life, worshipping you".
🚩"They will think you are a hero forever. They will forget that you're responsible for their sorrowful situation in the first place."

😇 Breathtaking, isn't it?

🙋‍♂ Now! Take a look at all the people some Nigerians are busy defending on social media.
🚩Take a look at those they call their heroes.

🚩They are the same people who plunged Nigeria into the situation she is.
🚩They are the same people who are responsible for their predicaments.

🚩Your guess is as good as mine. And the likes of many others, we all know about.
📍Nigerians kill those they should defend and defend those they should kill! 🙉

Why not pay workers decent wages instead of throwing money to where only God knows, this is is a waste of state resources, pay a good wages to workers and see how the creative economy will thrive on it own but no. Let us see how this will small business will grow if no money in the hands of people to patronize them. #lack of wisdom

So govt should use 80% of its revenue to pay govt workers who constitute less than 10% of the population? What happens to the remaining 90% who are not govt workers and who are self employed? U think only empowering d tiny percentage of govt workers is what would spur consumption and economic growth? Whats d productivity of govt workers anyway? Hope u know we can do without a large number of them?

Answer his question on why a foolish governor will be owing Abia workers 7 month salary n only willing to paying 18K when you is people are demanding for 250K using his labour NLC .

Are you not the one using the cocaine when your foolish head can not reason that he is saving your fathers n mothers who Alex Otti is ruining thier wretched lives by not paying their 18K owing several months arrear, this in addition to no hope of any increment whatsoever in the future.

They should also know that increasing workers pay without vibrant enterprise to dtive the economy will further heighten inflation they are complaining about..

Very commendable ..

SME are drivers of economies ..

Since you have chosen a name synonymous with foolishness, idiocy and moronic brain cells, you should also ask buhari why he left a dead country riddled with thieves and looters terrorists and bandits. The old fool could not even control his wife who fed fat like a hippopotamus on drugs in Dubai. Having sex underground with young almajiri boys. The asshole ran all the jets begging for money all over while his cows stole and printed currency with his so called forged signature. Bastard cow kissing old man

If show much money are in workers hand and SME doesn't have or produce goods to buy with that money, it will lead to another inflation. The goods to buy first must be available before money more is put into labours hand.
Re: Why Not Pay Workers A Living Wage Rather Than Funding SMEs? by SmallmebigGod: 8:16am On Jul 13
The problem is lack of data and structure. Funding SME is the best ideally. But my guess is that the money being shared presently are going to the hands of politicians or people that have political affliations favorable to the sharer.
Also , some civil servants are also SME so eventually the model would have been the best if done sincerely.

sustaining the minimum wage is the issue.
1 billion would do nothing.

If this is true, then theres no difference in the government, according to otti in his campain which b4 i went back to abuja he said he will increase salaries that the state has enough money, and he also said salaries wil be paid by 25th and 28th of each month, and now i stil read hes owing 11 months salary arrears tor this is from fry pan to fire

A nincompoop just dropped an opinion.


The same civil servants who will refuse to provide a service to you without greasing their palms?

Go to any ministry, department or agency to verify since you are playing daft.


These people are so useless that sacking 90% of them wont see any reduction in output.

People who resume by 10am, pray for 1 hour, then start gossiping and eating groundnuts, while asking for bribes and pretending to work till 2pm when they close?

Its like you want thunder to fire you this morning for making such as asinine suggestion.

tell me how SMEs will make profit of no one has money to buy from, they will just feed on their capital and be out of business before they know

The first question you should ask yourself is, what percentage of the population is employed by the Government ? It is less than 20% of our population.

So how can we channel all our funds to just government workers! SMES are the drivers of an economy, and they need to be empowered through funding or low interest loans - They are employers too , and they pay tax.

Funny enough many of this ministries don't generate income.
Re: Why Not Pay Workers A Living Wage Rather Than Funding SMEs? by Dbegining: 9:00am On Jul 13
This one is foolish talk sha.

Minimum wage is in the hands of the federal government. Abia state is just trying it's best to do what it can do for it's citizens.

And wait, didn't Lagos spend 25billion on MSME'S?
Re: Why Not Pay Workers A Living Wage Rather Than Funding SMEs? by PAQ(m): 9:00am On Jul 13
Growing the SME is good, but if the buying power of workers is where they are then how will these small businesses thrive?
