This is true about government workers. Over 90% of the workers in local government secretariats do nothing apart from gossip. They just earn monthly salary without generating any revenue for the secretariats. I see no difference between them and ghost workers. Most of the workers in Exams and Records in public universities do nothing apart from gossip. Students queue for payment invoice and queue again for signature after payment. But after final-year exam, the same students will gather all the receipts for paid fees and move from one office to another for clearance. What then do the workers in the Records office do if they can't prepare lists of those who are owing and those who have paid? The students will also move from one office to another, trying to get their results. There are many workers in the office but students queue for not just hours but for days behind the office windows while the workers sluggishly attend to the students. I know a public secondary school in which SS1, SS2 and SS3 had only one Maths teacher. The same teacher was a lecturer in a State Polytechnic. One SS1 set saw the teacher only 4 times in 3 years (as the set moved from SS1 to SS3). The teacher taught the set Maths twice in SS1 and once in SS2. The 4th time was when the teacher entered the SS3 class once to advise the students to go to lesson centres to prepare for WEAC and NECO. Imagine a teacher being the one telling students to go to lesson centres. 197 Likes 23 Shares |

Ask yourself if government has provided them with the necessary materials and trainings to deliver on their jobs. Do they even have offices and laboratories to work? Okay, is that the reason you have not taken their plight seriously? 68 Likes 7 Shares |

Here we go again. What does he mean by value? If he mean 81% of Nigerian labor force doesn't pay tax, he should come out and state that clearly. Instead of him to confront the misleading 4.1% unemployment figure, he resorts to blaming workers. Even if we assume that all government workers including him are unproductive(that is obviously not true), they don't make up to 5% of Nigerian workforce. So where did he get his 81% from? Unless he wants to argue that the private sector is also paying people for doing nothing. 73 Likes |

Another useless talk as usual. Did any Nigeria leader ever make Nigeria an enabling environment for the citizens to grow? Capital No.. You don't give us good and motorable roads. You don't give us good security of our lives and properties. Same government still allow thugs, herdsmen, Boko Haram, and many more to be killing us.. You rogues cannot provide good medical facilities for us Nigerians but you jump around enjoying what other leaders provided for their country... Shame on you all. 70 Likes 4 Shares |

Hmmmm,my people this is a serious food for thought I know that I have a different opinion from Mr Oloyede but I beg to agree with him on a very salient point The first question that we need to ask ourselves for the purpose of this thread is what does Mr Oloyede mean by the productive sector of our Economy and non productive sector(even though gainfully employed) 1) Productive Sector This group of people are those with a living wage or income.This group of people form the nexus of tax paying citizens.They are found in all sectors of the Economy including the service, manufacturing, Exploration, Education, Finance, Information Technology etc I daresay that this individuals form less than 15% of Nigeria's working class 2) "Non productive Sector" These are individuals that find themselves in organisations or Businesses that are either paid close to nothing or better still businesses that are always struggling to break even These group of people are not cast under the tax net and living from day to day Funny Enough,it is not a matter of profession.it is just that they find themselves in organisations that are very poorly funded or shylock owners who take advantage of their workers I remember when I was privileged to work in a Big Multinational Oil and Gas company,I came across some welders working for that company,I daresay that those guys probably earned more than some individuals doing white collared jobs If those same individuals took their services to another company,they might not earn up 30% of the company paid My point is this,the way our Economy is structured it will keep producing non productive people because the opportunities for more people to earn living wages is shrinking daily Still selling the cheapest land at Ibeju Lekki Industrial Hub, kindly click on my signature for more details 19 Likes 1 Share |

If the working class are not adding value, is it the unemployed that are adding value? Are the politicians in power among the 81% non-value adding workers? Stating that less than 5% is the unemployment rate ìn Nigeria is a criminal offence because everyone knows he's lying. Anyway, it's the Nigerian thing to lie so I leave him to his device. 19 Likes 3 Shares |

ivolt:when we talk of productivity in economy . It is not about earning salary and pay Tax. When you remove Teaching and manufacturers many of our sectors are just parasite that doesn't contribute to the bottom line that can grow economy. Then we have too much government workers in Nigeria . We need to grow private companies that specializes in manufacturing. Salary earners can never grow the economy of any state even their taxes paid only enter the pockets of politicians. 15 Likes 1 Share |

Tinubu govt blaming Nigerians for the poor economy. We warned you guys not to vote for Tinubu esp as he was avoiding debates and interviews which shows he lacks ideas but you guys refused to listen due to ethnic and religious sentiments. The only reason I'm not chastising Nigerians is because the majority of Nigerians did not vote for him, neither was he genuinely elected but rather Mahmmud rigged him in by swapping Obi's votes 9 Likes 1 Share |

What is this 4.2 unemployment ,when NBS changed definition to include people who work for just 1 hour a week as employed . You will always get underemployed people . Tomorrow , if North Korean leader changes definition that any worker who worked for a hour in his life as employed , North Korea will be a paradise like Nigeria . I pity Kim Jong Un advisors ,when he hears that a black African has invented this unique format of unemployment ,which his advisors could not . So i join my fellow Nigerians in offering prayers and condolences to Kim advisors . We all, like being fools in Nigeria . 4 Likes 1 Share |
