NLC died a long time ago.

This time is difference because of NUPENG oooo. If nupeng joins the strike government will listen

Bamss1:
Though that 400k too much but govt should at least offer 100k. Country hard

Surely dats not wot dey mean. By hiking d amount, govt would now negotiate a reasonable amount.

DMerciful:
On a side note,
Ronus started shouting regional govt but immediately Woye(fg not Tinubu crooner) said Lagos will not be part of SW, the frenzy started dying.

Lagos has never been part of Western Nigeria! . Lagos belongs to all Nigerians equally

Dont mind them. And some useless people because of tribe and religion, are saying jargons about labour

BreconHills:


How will the employer cope? Is everyone the FGN or the state government? Casualization and contract will
simply increase.

Do you not understand the cost push of a massive wage increase?

It's Zimbabwe you are praying for.

Will increase in salary increase productivity and reduce all other factors of employment?

The NLC position is ridiculous and any sensible person knows it.

Rubbish! How many private business paying their workers 30k MW ?

Impliment:


Na yeye the worry you.

Nigerian like suffering. Instead of us to join and comply with the strike, they are busy saying nonsense

This strike action will last for weeks if the Labour unions are very serious to fight the war against FG. At least if you finally settled for #150k or #200k for new minimum wage, that one is justifiable

anything between 100-150k is fairly okay. Except we are not being honest with ourselves. Things are damn expensive.

YOUR FOOLISHNESS IS EPIC

Any1 can b "god" in his field esp wen ure too good in it. He said god of politics.

Anything da seems not to serve or be serving its purpose is being un-useful, or rather useless.
No one takes NLC serious cos dey seem inconsistent wit dia words. Dats why wen dey talk, people are forced to say "audio"

would you have said this if you earn the current minimum wage of 30k and tend to feed your family from it? Let's be fair with ourselves. Paying 100k minimum is even a start, #1000 cannot conveniently feed an individual for a meal, how much more 3x meal for a day.

If a manageable meal is #1000, times 30, multiplied by 3 square meal is 90,000. Are you telling me the minimum wager is not good enough to have savings?

The govt singlehandedly brought the inflation and sufferings we are experiencing today. Very unnecessary policies to achieve nothing.

A loaf of bread is 1500 and minimum wage is 30,000. So your so-called fantastic minimum wage can only buy a worker bread for about 20days.

FirmTR:

400k too much, but senators are paid millions, what is their work?

I I tire ooo. You see Nigeria can never get better because we would see the right and call it wrong. Am just waiting for this minimum wage to be increased. God help me with my plans and I leave this country

kikake:
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.

Do you know what that mistake has cost. Life has been destroy. Marriages broken. And you said we should allow learn from it. He should make another mistake by substaincially increase the minimum wage

Animals in human skin. they will do nothing, just looking for settlement.

I dnt really know what is going on in this country things are getting out of hand.

I wasn't talking to you

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.

You've said all, you're indeed a man of wisdom, knowledge and understanding. In my place in Niger State, I have someone who bought beans at the rate of #45, 000 per bag and now a bag costs #137, 000, the fellow has 250 bags and has refused to sell up till now. Is that not wickedness?

You are ignorant of how unionism operates

Can you tell me some of the laws that guide unionism? People just write without knowing the facts of the issue.

You are making an assumption that everyone at the bottom of the pyramid is an employee. That is not true. Most of them are employers; whether of family members or not. These are the micro SME's

You also assume that I am saying there should be no increase. Iam merely saying that 497k is unrealistic and impossible. The highest sustainable minimum would be between 60-70k. Even 100k with its multiplier would create goods and services that nobody could afford.

What the government should work on is food costs
and the short term way to do this is selective
importation.

Grants can be given to schools and transporters to cushion rise in prices.

This is the only way. The only way out of our situation is increased productivity and high costs ( including salaries) would kill that.

You can't be emotional and kill the very people you are trying to save.

I still don't get you. We are talking about minimum wage for the lowest cadre of the Nigerian labour force, and you're talking about them being employers of labour and having alternatives. Is this the bone of contention? Are they employed with the agreement to have alternate source of income and divided attention, or to give their full time and effort to their organisation?

Secondly, talking about solution. How is selective importation a solution? Rice has been banned from time ago and the price wasn't to the roof as today, so it has nothing to do with importation. Rice and food price is expensive today because of the high cost of fuel and diesel. Moreso, due to unpredictable exchange and huge custom tariff on importation.

Organized private sector are a major factor..... And ma very sure they won't meet this new minimum wage requirement.
