One idiot will now come out and say it's too much to earn for #lazyNigeriaYouth#

Who will pay? Definitely not Buhari

desoul2004:


But the millions, which our senators and other politicians are carrying is realistic. You're part of our problem.

The guy is actually right!!..ask yourself how consistent the government all all levels had been at paying even the current minimum wage..

Leave your idealistic world and face reality..reeling out the amoount politicians corner for themselves will not translate to actual payment for workers as at when due...Nigeria is a sick country,and you all should realise that.

Inflation will kill Nigeria if this is implemented across board.
It's like Nigeria has not yet learnt from the "Udoji panel fiasco"

NwaAmaikpe:



That is outrageous.

The Labour unions are being so unrealistic.
Nigeria's minimum wage should not exceed 19,800.
Nigeria is a sick and broken third-world country for crying out loud and should not try to imitate already established countries like the USA.

We should all be patient till the country is healthy before we can enjoy it's true wealth.

Big rubbish

Olalan:
Organised labour are been unrealistic with their demands, with the current realities of the economy the federal government can't afford to pay such not to talk about state govt.
In as much as the wage needs an upward review, 66,500 is not realistic

why? But senators can be paid exorbitantly right?

Resees:


You must enjoy your Buharis change.

ignoramus.

justineu:
don't mind the clown. The nass receive millions just to seat in a chair for 30 min, the civil servant who work 5days in a wk fr 9 hrs are paid peanut. This country is a joke.. A dead zone.

what of dos working in private sector..... What we need is aimproved society via infrastructure and d likes then increment in wages come naturally....... U increase civil servants pay inflation set in cos business pple go increase prices of goods then dos working for wicked private owners ll suffer from inflation....its not jst unrealistic

Whoever approve this minimum wage is a wicked person, and don't want Nigeria to grow.

autotrader014:


That is why our recurrent expenditure is far more than our capital expenditure.. Over dependent on the government.. Until we have an efficient and effective private sector, we are not going anywere..

I Tel u bro cos hw many jobs govt fit create dats yy everybody wan land Lagos.....

They'll only ask, this yeye government would not pay, they'll as usual act it out with lies and theatrics

anyone that understands secondary school economics will know this is a futile mission. Firstly, the government can't afford it, secondly, Increasing the minimum wage will lead to inflation and a reduction in the value of naira.For example, if u were buying a cup of garri at N100 when minimum wage is N10000, then u should be ready to buy that cup at N1000 if the minimum wage is increased to N100000. Everything will cancel out each other, there will be no advantages, only numerous disadvantages.

What they should clamour for instead is the increase in the value of the natural such that even the wage is reduces to N10000, that N10000 will be able to buy what N100000 could buy before.

And again, it will do nothing more than increasing our recurrent expenditure.

I hope this not a ploy to persuade us to vote this government in 2019? Everybody shine ur eyes ooo

From 18k which has not been adhered to by ALL STATE GOVERNORS to 60k+.
Not realistic. Unless the strictly consumer-based economy is gonna crash. Inflation needs to be strategically checked while ensuring that producing/manufacturing sector is offered enabling environment to thrive in. But if it's still the same oil projection-based budget that is expected to run this, it will be catastrophic. For me, salary increment is not the solution.

The country that is running on Loan.

if this could be implemented.. fine!

Even if its not realistic. The minimum I estimated last year was 64000. Since many state governors like owing for 10 months at least when they release 2 months there will be respite for the workers. if you know the cost of governance in Nigeria you won't talk. A Senator goes home with N14. 4m every month. Aside N200m annually. Aside those with special duties in the house. I went to one private institution recently and there were about 30 brand new landcruiser jeeps wasting away in their backyard with no plate numbers. some with flat tire. Is that not wickedness?

How many State can pay that amount?

I do understand you.. Are we not facing inflation right now, are things not expensive while civil servants salaries are still in same place.

They don't like to face reality. They're dreamers.

That's how one presidential candidate will say he'd make minimum wage 70k in 2019, and they'd queue at his back; thinking the money will fall from the sky. Very funny people.

How can you increase wage bill from 19,800 to 66,500. How did they get that figure? That's more than 300%. It's too bloody much!

even at that, i think d NLC and FG will negotiate.

Unserious folks. How many people are even earning the current minimum wage? Abi is it not in this buhari regime that things are hard and companies are folding up, that they are asking for #66,500 minimum wage? Well I wish them good luck in their pursuit.

you are just a pathetic fool

hmmm..such amount will be seen as too huge by the elites for the poor workers...they will not agree.instead they will press it down to N35,000....even at that will they implement it..tomorow, you will still hear that some states governors cannot pay workers several months salaries!

Nigeria is not a poor country as you are been made to believe ,we have the money but it is eaten by few people

Spot on..but is that all?,how about when they believed buhari will make one Naira equal to the dollar,(with useless economic analysis using their psedo-intelligence to back it up)miraculously transform their lives with his 'body language' ,reduce pump price of petrol to 40Naira,pay them 5,000Naira e.t.c...

A lot of Nigerians are kind of foolish in their thinking to be honest.

Please how did you arrive at that conclusion, are you CBN's auditor general or what?
I think what's not realistic is when a senator earns the minimum wage of over 200 people monthly and you expect the people not to receive decent raise.
