Same way you will see some people at party asking for chicken bones for their dogs...meanwhile na them won go chop am.

This country is now on another level of downgrade

ivandragon:


Lol.

Lagos has been paying minimum wage of 70k since January or February... so he announcing an increase to 85k is just a recognition of the realities, though it is still grossly inadequate.

And I do not recall him saying exactly when he would start paying the 85k.

But like I pointed out earlier, if you knew how structured organisations worked, you would know increases don't just get implemented immediately. There are processes.

Comparing a government to an individual in the Bible who was for all intents and purposes, an absolute mornarch, tells a lot about your exposure and understanding of administration.

See how you lie with confidence? Which Lagos is paying 70K as minimum wage?

ObiPandora:
I am replying your msg with all sense of seriousness n I have to tell that you are an exceedingly foolish soul.

Reason 1 - There as been several salary increment in Nigeria was any ever implemented with the month the governor declared such ?

2. Sanwolu had previously increased salary during Buhari tenure was that promised implemented with 3 good months after he made the declaration ?

Going by the above 2 issues I stated I reiterate that you have to be an exceedingly and extremely foolish n senseless human being to bet on that. The antecedent of all n every former governors Nigeria governor from not just 1999 but since 1960 never implement salary increase same month such announcement was made why on Earth do you think the crop of failures now with Sanwolu that recently fail such declaration is worth betting on not to repeat such ?!

It takes only a matured and educated person to argue for or against on a public forum without resulting into abuse or insult.

Because I am above and beyond you, I won't result to insulting you. Just know that you can make your point of view known without insults. People would like you for it. But because you're not trained to use superior arguments to win a discourse, you resulted to insults.

Back to the real issue.
The governor has shown lack of integrity in that he stated by implication that Lagos has started paying N85,000 which was found not to be true.

We don't care what the process is all about. When you use present tense when you ought to use future tense, then that's a lie.

I have a car is not the same as I am in the process of buying a car.

We pay N85,000 minimum wage is not the same as We are going to pay N85,000 minimum wage.

I understand that you are paid to defend and speak good of the Governor online but on this matter, you have no valid point.

And since you've debased yourself my resulting into insult. I won't give you a response again on this matter.

Stay responsible

triplechoice:
@ Op
You lost the bet because you gambled on something you don't have enough information on and not because the governor has displayed lack of integrity .

Since Lagos State pays their civil servants every 23, it won't be possible for the 85k to reflect in the month of October because everything concerning this month salary has already been finalized as at the time the governor made the announcement .

Salaries in the public sector especially for states with a large working force such as Lagos state, is usually ready at least two weeks before payday and not in days


Your civil servant friend ishould have informed you of this fact if truly he is working with the Lagos state government or he explained but didn't understand what he said

What you didn't realize is that, the Governor didn't just come out to make an impromptu statement. He must have consulted and agree with the state civil service. So it was not when he said it that implementation began.

His announcement should be a ceremonial after implementation.

You don't announce plan, you announce execution and implementation as a Governor.

ivandragon:


You seem to be the one constituting a problem for Nigeria.

If you had an idea of how these things work, you would have been better informed.

Most government payrolls are begin processing by the 10th day of the month in order to meet salary payment deadlines for that month.

Sanwolu made the announcement of increment around 16th or 17th October. The payroll for October would have already being processed to an advanced stage since salaries started dropping from 22nd of October.

So except he wanted to delay salaries, it was sensible to pay the old salary while the adjustment can commence in November then October arrears paid.

Wisdom will not kill you.

You think you know so much but you might be disappointed.

What excuse would you give if at the end of November, the payment hasn't changed.

You would look for another excuse....

You probably don't understand the meaning of INTEGRITY.

Let your YES be YES, and your NO be NO.

No excuse is tenable or acceptable for not keeping your words.

There was a man in the Bible, his name was Jephtha, he promised God that if God gave him victory in the battle he was going for. The first person to come and welcome him back home would be used as sacrifice to God. Unfortunately, his daughter was the first to come out and welcome him when he came back from the war ....

It was difficult for him, yet he went ahead to sacrifice her daughter....he didn't give excuse!

A man of integrity keeps to their words, even when it is difficult. No excuse is justifiable enough. That's integrity. Talk & Do!

Wolexyoshi:


Instead of you to learn, you are here saying rubbish.

Did the Governor ever say the payment will commence in October? The answer is a capital NO.

Now let me give you an example.
It was on the day of swearing in the President declared that Subsidy is gone. Can you tell when that statement was implemented?? The answer is a capital NO.

DID YOU UNDERSTAND??

Immediately he declared, did you remember the impact of his declaration on the fuel price?

Political leaders must realize that their words carry influence and as such must be careful in their choice of words.

Don't use a present tense when a future tense is needed.

Lagos pays N85,000 as minimum wage is different from Lagos will pay N85,000 as minimum wage.

ObiORBiafra:
I have maintained one view on this forum, that many people that comment on employment and wages are people that don't work or earn wages. Yes they started the payment from October doesn't mean you will earn the amount in October. You may not even get the actual payment until next year because there will be meetings and negotiations but you will be paid arrears. So if they start actual payment of the newly implemented in December. You will get the one you didn't receive for October and November as arrears in December.

Such an unwise statement from you. Yes they started payment in October but you may not even get the actual payment until next year.

Does this statement make sense to you?

How could you say they started payment in October and in the next line you said you won't get it in October.

Did you read this before posting?

How can you say a payment has started when you have not implement or disburse the funds


Oh, Nigerians are the real problem of Nigeria.

Biodun556:


The payment will surely start from November.

Now what if he doesn't start in November?


You will give another reason or excuse


Nigerian governments at all levels are unpredictable and lack integrity.

Promises are like babies crying in the church, they need to be carried out.

Wolexyoshi:
No sorry for you cus you bet foolishly.

I am sure you are not aware that such pronouncement will have to go through what is called due process before it can be implemented.

Many of your type who doesn't understand how Governance work will be quick to condemn and criticize.

I HOPE YOU FOLLOWED THE INVESTMENT RULE ANYWAY, AND NOT THAT YOU BET WITH GREED.

You are one of the problems of Nigeria. Defending the indefensible.

Does he not know that there is a process before making a bold statement.

Did he use futuristic tenses or present tense.

In a sane clime, I could sue him and win for a misleading statement....but this is Nigeria where people like you will see the truth but call attention to things not important

ivandragon:
The arrears will be paid. They are probably still working out the cost implications across cadres.

A shouldn't have said it in public until completion but he wanted to look good in the eyes of the people.

I hope you're not one of Nigeria's problem. Call black, black and not brown

Looks seemingly staged

The guy body looked fresh ....they didn't beat him. Is face still look calm, not stress, even the blood colour looks like Nollywood on.

I'm skeptical about this.

Shadomaan7:
You see, this one na pure case of betting on something that is not tangible. You can't bet on government policy as they are subject to change

This is not a matter of policy but a declarative statement from the number one man in the most populous state in West Africa.

Stop giving excuses for lack of integrity.

odejimioflagos:
The governor is a man of integrity. He will surely sort this out.

His integrity has cost me N100,000.

He should have implemented it before coming to the press to claim it. In fact, he even said he would like to come by January 2025 to say it has now been increased to N100,000.

I lost faith in Government officials. Now I know that civil servants know them more than we the private citizens

No matter who leaves, some people will be happy and some people will be sad.

It boils down on who are those happy? Are they the late comers? The corrupt? Or the people of integrity?

I don't judge by celebrations.


Even when Tinubu was made president, some people were happy? While the good citizens and forward thinking progressive were sad.


So it boils down on motive and who is happy and for what reasons they are happy

How I Lost N100,000 Betting on Integrity of Governor Sanwo Olu on Minimum Wage.


It all started with a bold declaration when the governor of our state proudly announced that the long-awaited minimum wage increase had finally been implemented. He stated on Channels TV that minimum wage in Lagos is now N85,000.

The news spread like wildfire, and the excitement in the air was palpable. Social media lit up with celebrations, and many state workers eagerly awaited the next payday, convinced that their salaries would reflect this newfound relief.

I, too, believed in the Governor’s words. After all, a man in such a position—someone as influential as the Governor of Lagos State—wouldn’t lie about something so significant and verifiable, right? His word was supposed to be his bond.

But not everyone shared my optimism. While many rejoiced, a few skeptical government workers weren’t so easily convinced. They whispered among themselves that the governor’s promises were nothing more than political sweet talk. “It’s a lie,” one of them said with certainty. I was trying to hail a friend of mine who works as a civil servant in Lagos, congratulating him for the new pay rise but he was not optimistic at all and something inside me flared. I couldn’t just stand by and listen to the way he was speaking about the integrity of the state government. So, I did what any overly confident man would do: I placed a bet.

“I’ll tell you what,” I said to him. “If your October salary doesn’t reflect the new minimum wage, I’ll personally pay you N100,000 naira. But if it does, you’ll pay me just 20,000 from your salary.”

I had thought it was a simple SURE BET. After all, it was all over the news that Lagos State Government now pays N85,000 minimum wage.

I could feel he was warning me, are you sure you want to bank on the Governor? It was a bold wager, but I believed I was playing it safe. After all, no governor would make such an announcement without following through, right?

Wrong.

Payday came, 23rd October, and with it, the crushing realization. My phone buzzed. The government worker sent me a message, his tone dripping with amusement: “Old salary, no change.” I stared at the screen, unable to believe it. Surely, this was a mistake? I waited for another message, hoping it would correct the first. But no. The governor, for all his grandeur, had not kept his word.

I had lost. Not just the bet, but my faith in what I thought was a straightforward equation of integrity.

So, here I am, 100,000 naira loser, all because I bet on the integrity of a state governor.

Lesson learned: never gamble on promises, no matter how grand they sound nor who said it.

This is not entirely vote buying.

Elon is putting his money where is heart is.

If you follow Elon Musk on X, you will agree with me that he is big on Freedom of Xpression. Reason he changed Twitter to X. Not everyone knows that X means Xpression.


Many governments of the world have come for him because of what people said on X as it relates to their govt so, he is doing this to protect himself against Draconic government.


If you're on X, you should gladly sign the petition, it is not all about election of Trump but it came at a time when election is happening.

Whether Trump wins or not, Elon Musk is very much interested in X. Even when you criticize him on X, he won't bring down your post.

Those DEMON-CRATS are now afraid such would impact their chances

I see many people blaming the Op.

It was a difficult situation that anyone could have done the same thing. Considering there was a need to be met and you were working to meet that need. You could have stolen an item from your boss and sold it but you didn't do that. You had probably calculated that you don't usually do much work on duty reason you accepted to do another work while you were already at work. This is wrong.

Plain truth is that, you could have waited till when you were off-work or you outsourced the work to someone else at a reduced price and you take your own cut.

He has the right to sack you considering the situation but If I were in his shoes, I would have given you the first and last warning considering your motive.

Why settle for gateman's work when you could do digital/affiliate marketing and earn something tangible online

Good

Hello everyone,

I'm glad I'm making people happy with this new side hustle. It's a thing of joy to get amazing feedbacks from your clients.

I'm sure you know that AI is the trending scope now. And I am using the technology to cash out.

I have three powerful AI apps that I used for photo editing and manipulation....it also generate beautiful and stunning AI photos.

With this new photo editing skill, I earn nothing less than 60K per week.

Secret strategy that I used to make money with people paying and still saying thank you.

For some of the WhatsApp groups I belong, when someone is celebrating his or her birthday, I make beautiful photos of the person and send to him or her.

First, the photos I make, is usually many times better than the studio photos they spent much money to get.

Then I would say to them, do you like the photos?....they always responded in the superlatives. Then I would say, I charge this amount just one of this, but because it is your birthday, you can pay whatever you wish...

It has been an awesome experience.


Another strategy that I used, I sometimes check the DP of friends and families on WhatsApp and I will turn their photos to something amazing, thanks to these 3 powerful AI apps and they will be rushing after me.

I did one for a lady when her sister saw it, she wanted hers too.

These AI photo apps can be downloaded on Google Play but you need certain skills and a bit of explanation to get maximum benefit from them.

If you are looking for a side hustle, I would recommend you start AI Photo Editing.

Guys, if you are good at it, people will be rushing you. I did one for a Pastor's wife for free and after that, many of the church members are coming to me to do for them.

Everyone is your client ....my WhatsApp is full of beautiful pictures of my creativity with AI photos.

Should you want to learn how to easily edit photos with this AI apps...let's connect on WhatsApp zero 9 zero seven 1111seven 8

In this present economy, having a side hustle
can make a difference.

Ogene001:

That's not the issue. The issue is that Niger is a sovereign country and have right to decide their internal affairs. Niger did not take Nigeria land or resources therefore Nigeria is looking for trouble and other countries more powerful than Nigeria will come to their aid and finish Nigeria

You seem not to understand international politics.

Imagine your neighbor decides to buy a bull dog instead of paying security dues. Is your own children not at risk?

Niger is a member of ECOWAS....and the decision of ECOWAS is binding on all her member.

If your house is surrounded by thieves, and you do nothing, sooner or later....they will rob you too.

Hi there,

Times are hard....some companies are managing to just breathe...

They are trying hard to meet up with overhead cost aside employees' payment. If you are getting your salary on time ...please be grateful because times are hard for employers too. Some companies are already folding up.

Here is the good news.

You can learn high income skills and make decent income that will be more than the increment you look forward to.

You don't have to believe me, I am earning decent income from editing photos for people using one CRAZY AI PHOTO APP. You don't need to know Photoshop or corel draw.

Just press two or three buttons and your work is done.

Hardwork is good, smart work is better.

Was your milk pasteurized? If not, you might be risking your health to danger. Raw milk not pasteurized is a risk for your health.

You choose SAFETY.

I abandoned it the moment they started raising shoulders and increasing their price.
ThankGod for other brands that are competetive and up to the task.

*Loyal
*Coast
*Dano
*

Forget it, Peak milk has the best quality.

The quality of milk is primarily determined by the milk fat in it. So do this simple assignment.

Check the fat content of peak, loyal, coast and Dano you will know Why PEAK is at the Peak.

While most other milk will have 9.6 or below, Peak usually have 9.8 - 10.2g milk fat.

Pray you can afford it instead of looking for competitive price with less quality

As good as it sounds....

How many souls have been won by this gospel artistes on stage...

Why are ministers who laboured in the word, giving messages that turn life around not being paid huge like this songs ministers?

You can hardly see a teacher or pastor who goes about teaching or preaching other people's messages but our songs ministers sing other people songs, rebrand it and charge for it.

If I were to be a pastor, If you charge me N10,000,000 it comes with a condition that through your songs, the lame must walk, the blind should see and there must be at 1,000 NEW CONVERTS.


Pastor's need to start setting KPI's for these song ministers.

If we are paying you, you work for your money!

We are paying for your services, we have expectations of deliverables

Penguin2:
At the conclusion of the last guber election in Ogun State, INEC announced that Dapo Abiodun won the election with over 300k votes. But ironically, images emerging from his swearing in ceremony showed the man waving at empty seats in the stadium that would leave wondering where are the over 300k people that voted for him.

When you contrast these images from Ogun to the images of Carnival-like inauguration ceremony that emerged from Abia, Kano, etc, you’d know the difference of someone enjoying the popular mandate of the people and someone who got himself back into office against the people’s wish.

He is a second term Governor, so don't expect high turn up. The people have gone to Abuja.

If you were the one, will you pick state over federal?

Na their matter be that.

I'm glad you backed it up. My own, all my children pictures from birth gone when they stole my phone. Never fully recovered from it 2 years after. I am still pained..

It can be very painful...

New phone is easy to replace

But old memories, video and photos and premium resources are difficult to recover if not back up.

Please let's go....better days ahead

senatoreze:





There's a possibility of recovery of the phone. Armed with the IMEI Number and the phone's pack, report the case to the nearest police station.

You would pay between N10,000.00 and 20,000.00 depending on the type of phone.

The payment is only made after the phone has been recovered. Try to trust Nigerian Police for once, and you may be lucky.

The sooner the better. Good luck.

Hmmm....may be I will give it a trial but I have already erase all data remotely. I will consider it. Thank you.

Billionaire2:


Sorry for your loss Sir,

Thank you for your empathy.

By the way, My phone got stolen today ....

I'm yet to recover because that phone is like a the biggest resource I have either personal and family photos, trainings videos, pdf books, contacts etc

He pain me but God knows best. Thank God for back up....

Even though the phone is my business phone, the skill for the business is still in me.

I will pick up to the glory of God

I heard salary of civil servants in Lagos has been increased by 20%. Reason for the delay.

Thumbs up to LASG.

Some private companies pay at 3rd to 5th of new month
