So Ekiti gomina no wan pay?

Where’s our delusional developed 5 plots region??

Most of these Naija Delta and south east governors are criminals, forget all their pretence.

Can you just imagine Benue and Osun states agreeing to pay the new minimum wage and Delta, Akwa Ibom, Rivers etc are still dragging foot?


Criminals DECEIVING their people.

Nawa o

Let them start paying it first

Taraba state and Adamawa state are currently the only two states who have approved the new minimum wage apart from Lagos and Edo state

Even Ogun with all the IGR can't pay, Abiodun is so useless. I honestly don't know the work of that governor. Road you no repair, increase salary you say no.

They don't need to come out and say if they will pay, it is their duty Edo is already paying, Rivers Delta and akwa ibom will certainly pay I know that for sure, it's bayelsa and cross River I am not sure about

Where’s our delusional developed 5 plots region??

Have you talked on how to pay your debts or you want to start teaching your mother and father how to speak chinko?

And none of the Eastern governors is ready to pay a 70k minimum wage? Are they mad? It is time to revolt against these fools who can hand over their land to the killers from Futo Jallon Plateau but refused to care foe the wellbeing of their workers. Ndi ala them.

And the other governors nko?

This can't be the full list
Besides, announcing it doesn't mean they'll really pay or implement it as is should be
Even the FG is still dragging foot on its implementation.
Na NLC dey carry for head like gala
And anyone with sense knows that until FG starts implementing before states will follow suit

Especially that Abia state that's even owing months of salary.

Oyana

No single Southeast state?? What are they even agitating for when their very own leader don't care about them? It's predictable that when they finally break free from the shithole it would be into a deeper shithole! If this agitation is not political, it's time they start holding their leaders accountable and stop shedding the blood of innocent citizens in the name of agitation.

Yorùbá Adage says: "Oju ti o maa bani kale , Ko ni ti aaro se ipin" ( The eyes that will serve one until old age won't be rheumy in one's youthful years ).

The recalcitrant governors will learn the hard way.
It's common knowledge that the average civil servant take care of at leat, 5-6 people,excluding other indirect beneficiary(self,wife,@ least 2 children, aged parents and even other family or live in members.

Four SW states.

Where are the SE Governors, do something na.

Ok

Delta nko?

May Allah help them and us!

C h a i..








What of Kogi and the rest of the States?

Na to steal 80b + other monies and looking for court injunction to escape justice dem sabi,,

Hope it will not be an audio promise as usual 😞

Most civil servants don't do anything. That's because governors have been using the civil service to settle people, leading to bloated workforce. So, they just come to work, gist and go home. Most times, they don't come to work at all.

Governors should find out the few that do the actual work, retire the majority that do nothing and pay them off. That way, they can afford to pay 70k. If states start paying this minimum wage, 80% of their IGR and federal allocation will go to paying salaries. Nothing will be used for development.

Alright
