This is where you'll know that ENDSARS protest was just because some people with ill gotten wealth mostly youths couldn't move freely. They were the ones that SARS were really after.
The protest wasn't for the right course.
When an artist died like 8 months ago, youths trooped to the streets all in black demanding JUSTICE but when a particular artist in this same Nigeria was losing his buddies almost back to back, no single youth came out to demand for what was happening.

The ENERGY being used up for all those above, 10% of it has never been used to protest against the hardship going on in the country.

Where are the celebrities that still do ENDSARS anniversary to really lead enmasse for this.

We see teenagers, youths in early 20s driving multi million naira cars and get more praises that questions yet we automatically want the government to take us serious.

Until we are serious, look serious, act serious then government would know we are and take us for that.

We are just silent as long as some of us can afford the living and some of us depend on those that can afford it. Then we say prayers like, No matter how hard it is, God should provide for me.

If you feel I am quiet about it, well, I've never been a big social media fan so u won't know.

In summary, the problem isn't Labour, it isn't minimum wage, it's not majorly Government.
It's majorly the FOLLOWERS

opeyemi2012:
At this point, NLC has to apply wisdom and FG has to apply sincerity.

Is N60,000 fair? No.

FOR THE FG
The FG should stop gaslighting and using media propaganda to vilify the NLC. If Labour proposed 494,000 and gave a breakdown of how they arrived at that figure, it is only reasonable that FG also break down how they arrived at 60,000. But FG is yet to do that despite several calls by NLC. That's hypocrisy at best and also the FG indirectly admitting that N60,000 waa simply arrived at without the current economic reality put into consideration.

When Jonathan increased MW to 18,000 in 2011, it was equivalent to 109 dollars but 60,000 today is just a little over 40 dollars. Are you creating more wealth or poverty?

At a time government increased the allocation of NASS from around 130billion to over 350 billion and proposed the increment of judicial workers' pay with each federal judge taking home allowances of over 50million per annum and salaries of over 4million, it is provocative to offer peanuts to civil servants and other workers. Even the military government in Burkina Faso are doing better than this.

Tinubu himself promised a living wage. Is N60,000 a living wage with the current levels of food and headline inflation?

FOR STATE GOVERNORS
These criminals have long impoverished their people. Failing to implement improved wages despite increased FAAC allocations. Withholding and embezzling LG funds. Embarking on massive road construction projects for kick-backs rather than true patriotism. Imagine a State paying workers 7000 minimum wage till now. A state rich with gold. Yet the governor will be competing with Lagos or Edo State governor by riding in a 10-15 exotic cars convoy, with sirens blaring to the faces of the suffering masses. Using the commonwealth of the state to fund their opulent lifestyles.
God will specially punish Soludo and any other governor that has opened his mouth to say they cannot afford to pay minimum wages. Lazy fools always waiting for sharing of monthly FAAC. They cannot think out of the box.

FOR LABOUR
Wisdom is profitable to direct. The elites do not want the poor to be empowered. Keeping the poor in poverty is a political weapon that helps the political class during elections. That's why Buhari couldn't lift 1 million people out of poverty despite promising to lift a 100million. That is why Tinubu promised a living wage and is now offering 60,000 that cannot fuel his car in 1 week.

If the FG offers 70 or 80k, please accept it with conditions. Let the conditions be as follows:

1. Government should reintroduce the things that made civil service attractive and encouraged productivity such as low-cost mass housing scheme where civil servants can live and be paying from their monthly salaries with the option of a rent-to-own offer after several years.

2. Government must with immediate effect release the so-called CNG buses that they have been claiming they provided since last year. Enough should be be released to cater for the daily transportation needs of public and private sector workers, and indeed Nigerians in general.

3. Reintroduce gratuity into the civil service. That should be a reward for serving government for at least 10 years. I wonder why it was scrapped in the first place. It was a lifeline for many civil servants. This contributory pension is not enough to guarantee anyone a good life after retirement. Imagine not being able to contribute 1million naira after over 6 years in the public service. Imagine earning 40,000 as monthly pension for a person who retired on level 14 officer in this present economy?

4. Reintroduce very low interest loans for workers. Thankfully, the creditcorp recently launched hopes to address this but just like the audio CNG buses, we are yet to see anything.

5. Lastly, since government cannot solve the issue of insecurity within a short period of time, then the little that is being produced by farmers can be bought directly by government, thereby ensuring a reliable and constant income for the farmers. Now the government should open a food bank in all the 774 local government areas (or perhaps the LGAs not controlled by Boko Haram or Bandits) and sell these agricultural products at subsidised rates to citizens. This will force the foodstuff hoarders and wicked businessmen to force down the prices of their items. Anyone caught buying from the food bank to resell at exorbitant prices should be arrested and jailed without playing politics. Also, open the fcking borders for a period of time. Let there be massive competition in the food market.

Well said Chief, well said

Nigerian elders have done their best since their early ages, you too should try yours. How long do you want to keep sucking your mother's Breasts?

Wole Soyinka has been fighting against bad government since the 60s, he even went with a toy gun to hold a radio station hostage and broadcasted live anti-government speech. Yet cursed children whose parents were hiding under their grandma's bed when Wole Soyinka was holding radio station hostage, they still want Woke Soyinka to be fighting for them now at his old age of 87 when their own father's have died ontop of underaged girls in hotels.

Gani Fawehinmi died fighting for the rights of you youths, likewise Ken Saro Wiwa. Femi Falana hasn't stop fighting for you youths with all his hair turned white .

When will you fight for your rights? Take your destiny into your hands, fight for your rights, stop waiting for old men to fight for you

This Labour people self.
President Tinubu made his initial mistakes in decision taking without advisers and ministers.
Allow him learn from the mistakes and put things better. We know that the present monthly salaries of workers are peanuts compared to inflation rate. But worsening the situation with strikes is not it.
I am an Obidient. Mahmood Yakubu and Bola Tinubu robbed us Obidients our victory last presidential election.
Re: 24 Hours To Strike: Labour Talks Tough, FG Begs by drkay(m): 8:37am On Jun 02
The labour leaders need to be realistic. They’re negotiating based on the minimum wage that very minimum percentage of the workforce are getting. An increment of 30k will significantly impact on their earnings, many will get nothing less than 400-500k more than their current salaries.
Maybe the FG should propose a consolidated salary increase then….minimum wage of 200k, the ogas that are already on 500k and above can get a moderate raise of like 500k, making 1m take home.
The fg also needs to give the reasons for making this 60k offer. They need to give the breakdown, like; what’ll be the take home for those on minimum wage, what percentage of Fg workforce are on minimum wages. What will this increment mean for those on top of the ladder. What’ll a teachers between level 8-14 be getting? How much will this impact governments spending? Can the state government afford it? Will the employers in the private sectors be able to pay? Will there be any support from the government? Are we now going to kukuma ignore them and face the FG hoping that others will follow suit?
Anyway, Naija is in a big mess. We need a dedicated government to rescue that country. I don’t think that is achievable with any politician.
