One of the reasons for corruption within the government parastatal is poor remuneration.

[@patrickogbe5881]

There was no bills when prices of commodities sky rocketed and why the bill now in fixing a minimum wage? What a country.

[@kooffire]

Is it for civil servants only or does it include the private sector😂😂 because I don't see any restaurant paying their staff 250k.

[@UgwudaAndrew]

What government wil do if the private sector refuse to comply with government agreement

[@israeleshiet7734]

The Labour Union Leaders are always taking the Nigerian Workers for granted. So there may come a time of civil disobedience against strike actions.

[@user-qb4yf4qe9n]

This country eeeeen is not balance

[@Lookatme272]

Let's stop deceiving ourselves, labour should employ the service of experts in decision making. This lust for exorbitant minimum wage isn't realistic. Why? It will affect all the strata of the society and every aspect of the economy. This will bring about a serious inflation. Let us learn from what Burkina Faso did now. Let's focus on security and the agricultural sector. Once there is abundance and improvement in exportation, things will definitely improve. The basic problem is scarcity of rural products, services and finance. How do we keep the farm and farmers save? This should be the point of focus for labour. Any severe increase in wages will amount to severity of living in Nigeria. Mark my words. My advice is, settle for that of government's increase with conditions on improving security especially for the benefit of the farmers'. Shikena Another thing, should in case of any strike, stop destructing essential services. They should always be giving exemption preferences eg Electrical, water, waste disposal and health (hospital) services My opinion though. I pray as well for God to divinely touch and guide our leaders to rule aright in Jesus Christ Name. Amen

God bless you. Some people don't understand this

[@annefranciselizabeth3840]

Agbadorian economist. Then why is Thiefnubu and his gang looting the treasury. Does that not cause inflation?

[@Lookatme272]

The best then is to join him in the loot now. Wait and watch now. Collect your money and be sacked or owed months of accumulated salary. Keep standing on fallacy

[@benjaminsmith8211]

There's money in Nigeria

[@asiphakeutol2242]

The best solution to my own view in Nigeria hardship today is to bring down the price of petroleum products to 100 naira if truly the people who have the opportunity to be called FG have the country Nigeria citizens at heart.

[@mikevon8477]

"2:07" The Most VALUABLE RESOURCES in the country are the Working People (because They create the Wealth) Once they withdraw their services IN ANY COUNTY that country's economy plunges.

[@anietido3709]

Labour isnt serious.

[@yonmotarela1280]

NIGERIA HAS MONEY PLS PAY THE WAGES LABOUR IS SAYING HAHA WATIN. GOVERNORS SAYING IS NOT SUSTAINABLE WHY? U HEAR ALL KINDS OF LOOTING IN BILLIONS THAT ONE NO REACH TO PAY WORKERS? THE 250,000NAIRA IS EVEN MANAGEABLE BUT FOR A START IS OK. DOES IT MEAN NIGERIA CANNOT PAY HER CITIZENS MONTHLY 100K LIKE IT IS DONE ABROAD? STOP LOOTING AND WASTE THIS 250K IS VISIBLE

[@anietido3709]

Are you hearing yourself? Don't you know that the minimum wage doesn't apply only to government institutions but also non government institutions. Do you know the backlash it'll cost when too much money is in circulation?

[@yonmotarela1280]

@@anietido3709 how much is going to be that too much money u are talking about? Is 250,000 naira enough for one of their side chicken or one kpekus that they cannot pay? Is 250,000 naira they amount one leader is looting? Abeg shift am not working but all I care pay workers good money. See teachers and Doctors looking like beggers for what?

[@Omez213]

​@@anietido3709This paltry sum is what you call too much money? I pity Nigerian workers.

[@anietido3709]

@@yonmotarela1280 minimum wage isn't for only government workers, young man. An increase in the minimum wage would mean private institutions and state institutions would also pay their workers this minimum wage. Now an increase in minimum wage to 250k represents more than 700% increase in the salary of every worker. So the professor that earns 416k would earn up to 3.5 million naira, if the division goes round. Now granted the government can pay such exorbitant bills, what of the private universities and state universities. That's just one problem, now let's say government pay all that money, how much money would they use to implement changes in the society? Or don't the government require money to commission projects? Finally, there's the problem of inflation. The market lady sees that the lowest official is earning 250k and she barely goes home with 25k per day. She then increases the prices of her goods to about 10x the previous price to meet up with the new minimum wage. This results in the naira being too much in circulation and then the naira loses its value. This should be at least considered by the labour unions, but we've not even heard a suitable defense from them. Anyways, the Lord bless you, young man.

[@lajuodatuwa-omagbemi1465]

How is this going to be too much money??? When the cost of things will even finish that money... Will it still be equivalent to the dollar even remotely???​@@anietido3709

[@eniola9920]

250,000 compare with 29,000,000 Plus. Ahah 😢

[@YinkaLapson-gg2se]

I pray that God should let our leaders be a considerable ones because when mr president was removing the susidy didnt he knows that it will send high cost of things or living to the country.

[@crafyty871]

Increasing minimum wage will always cause more problem, labour are just self-centered,even if FG agrees on this new minimum wage how many people will get this minimum wage??? Even the private sector are not downsizing just to sustain business.or let even talk about people who doesn't work under government.are we not buying the same thing at the market???...... Labour are just fighting for them selves,ok what if the FG agrees and increase fuel to 3k will labour oppose?? .. Let's fight together and stop being an hypocrite....

[@ayotaiwo198]

Hi

[@oladeleoluwakuyide]

Most times emotion blinds us from the truth.Wage increase will only cause inflation and retrenchment. NLC should agree to less than 60,000 naira on the following conditions 50 percent reduction of presidency and NASS expenditure Workers earning less than 6000 naira a month should pay no taxes indefinitely and suspension of taxes for workers on level 16 and below for 6 months. Students with family income of less than 120000 a month should not pay a dime for tertiary education Federal government should stop monthly allocation to states once they fail to pay their workers All government agencies should buy made in Nigeria vehicles No international trips for all government functionaries for the next one year The Lagos- Calabar road should continue only after at least 2 dysfunctional roads in each of the 6 regions has been rehabilitated CNG buses should be made available to all the 36 states within a month Provide security to farmers especially those producing staple food products Free medical and dental mobile clinics in at least 2 cities per state

[@trentrelax4439]

So you think this things can happen
