This man should stop opening his mouth gbau.

N100k minimum wage with what debt ceiling. Face your sheepishs and KS from politics matter

but the state can pay pension to ex Governors while they are still eating from senate money...lol. foolish citizens.

sofeo:
Tinubu should be smarter than this now, Just increase minimum wage instead of some foolish palliatives.

the poor people they collect salaries?

ceejayluv:

The government is already borrowing to pay salaries as it is. Not feasible

They should cut their recently increased salaries by 50% then add part of the subsidy money & implement the new minimum wage(may be not up to the 100k as proposed by the cleric)

ochukoccna:
The more you look at it,the clearer it becomes that while 'subsidy removal' was long overdue the manner of approach matters
You don't just say 'subsidy gone' glibly, float your currency against the dollar and implement radical financial reforms without a plan in place in a country said to be the world's poverty capital
Tinubu goofed with his implementation and continues to insult our sensibilities with his proposed palliative approach yet he's deified as an intelligent strategist
Now you understand why Buhari's media minders said Nigeria would miss Buhari for they knew the rot awaiting Tinubu
Interesting times ahead

@the bolded.
Since 90s going by what I have read, several attemps have been made to plan towards removing the subsidy.. the time has never been right still and that's why we are still here we are today economically.. Until that strong leadership came via Tinubu, there has never been the right time & there could never have been the right time using the approach suggested by your humble self.. The descision has been made & we will become better for it at the long run

inoki247:
Lol so na only Civil servant dey the country is better they use the money to subsidize Conversion of Public transport from Petrol to LPG...

are u still standing gidigba on ashuwajus frigid blokos mandate?

This is the kind of prophecy we expect from Rev. Ayodele and not the prophecy of who wins or loses election.

This is a good idea but the states will not implement it.

The state Governors will never accept this. FG can implement it but what happens to the states.

The palliative is fraud! They just want to use it to syphon money!

you think the country is rich?

Where are the economic Professors who are supposed to be advise these men…?? They are talking about increasing minimum wage, how about the private sector, how do they benefit….?? How about the ones in the rural communities how do they benefit…?? The said money for palliative, what if they use it to fight insecurity and empower the farmers so they comfortably go back to their farms. At least start from somewhere.

I this

All I know is that workers should be ready for retrenchment

Sermwell:

The palliative is fraud! They just want to use it to syphon money!

to recoup the money spent during elections

Switruth:
who incured the debts. Olodo.

Stop arguing with Agbadorians, their stupidity is contagious.

Minimum wage should actually be 150,000

Yea surely God made the greatest mistake creating you

SemperFid:



I don't understand how God take create some of una. Love thy neighbor as you love yourself does not apply because una no even love unaselves at all.

I just don't understand the kind mistake God make.

VeeVeeMyLuv:

Why does inflation and prices always goes up?

It is due tocontinued currency devaluation. The smart thing to have done was to have increased min wage incrementally in phases at intervals of say maybe quarterly basis or Monthly basis to checkmate inflation.

continually increasing minimum wage will continually increase inflation. You don't get it? You don't continually checkmate inflation with increased minimum wage. You'd destroy the economy that way..

Better still, Naira will be as useless as Zimbabwean million notes.

Ikaeniyan0:

even if he claimed tinunu will lose, is what he is saying not worth considering? your mentality is so warped that your suffering is akin to enjoyment in your life.
see as Okada nearly jam you as you dey run come defend 8k lasan that can not even favor you and your family for 2 hours

HussenAdul:

Did he win? Just that the country hated the other tribe

the country does not hate the other tribe. the thief bought the structures to win. obi was voted for all over the nation.

Just increasing minimum wages for civil servants & public servants including politicians will not solve the economic problems.

What of those that're not on government payroll? The solution is good governance, curbing wastges in governance, encouraging productivity, curbing insecurity etc.

Then what is the point of continual use of local currency, then they should dump it and adopt the foreign currency na?

The truth remains that salaries can no longer.provide the basic needs (food, clothes, shelter) of families!
What do you think should be done?

Is it not the same increment that took the salary in those days of level 10 from ₦1000 to over ₦200,000 now?

What do you think increased it to this amount over the years? Increment, upward review.

If not eh, hunger for don finish the country reducing the population to 1,000,000 people if not for these increments.

So my friend the increment is the logical thing to do, it is long overdue.

Increase minimum wage kill you there
What will happen to unemployed?
And who told you inflation rate will reduce

sam2023:
State and LG workers are not interested in salary increase because even of the whole Nigerian budget is given to govs they can not increase the salary of workers that can reflect reality out of their greediness. A state and LG director is earning less than 100k per month. What we want is to repair our refineries to full capacity so that petrol price can come down otherwise Nigerians will never be happy with tinubu. And I assure you if this situation continues up to 2027, any presidential candidate that promise to bring back subsidy will defeat tinubu. Atiku, obi and tinubu pledged to remove subsidy in their campaigns so we just have to vote the o e with less evil among them the reason I voted for tinubu.

You never start to cry,this renewed shege will favor and your family.

MichaelSokoto:

are u still standing gidigba on ashuwajus frigid blokos mandate?

That's your own problem everybody av the right to vote anyone so rest....

I did not argue against any of the points you made in my original post, so whats your point exactly. Your hands would just be itching you anyhow.

matm:


But you can jack up price of fuel and tarriffs overnight?

This attention seeking fake prophet again

this is the main problem with Nigerians newspapers. they like to quote non-experts all the time. tell this primate to go and fix our economic problems.

Both can be done. Workers are a small part of the population. What happens to majority others who are not workers and can't benefit from an increase in minimum wage?

Same argument for those who say the N500bln should be used to procure buses and distribute across the country to make transportation cheaper. Again both can be done. Short term cash palliatives AND a massive public transportation roll out can be done. Afterall during covid, US, UK and many other developed countries provided cash to vulnerable households to cushion the impact of sit at homes and widespread job losses.
