How much did you governors receive as allowance for that meeting where you made that decision? And how much are you paying another person as minimum wage after working for a whole month? Even,Majority has no job and that is not your business.God bless you...
They are fools
Hmm...
Unserious govt dragging her citizens minimum wage
Bull shit ! We need a unified salary structure for the three tiers of government. 22,500 can't feed a person let alone a family. Corruption and stealing is just starting. Our governors have no clue about service delivery and workers welfare. Governors are blood suckers
In this era of hyper-inflation and famine; Nigeria Workers need to earn 72000 ($200) to measure up with South Africa, Ghana and others. NLC has made a big mistake to settle for 30,000. Nigeria has all it takes to pay its workers good remunerations.
Useless people in power,u are all not coming back in 2019 by God's grace.
We go through school just to come and find for this old fools without Certificate to us in this kind of situation. 22,500? F**k u All
We don't want...they're inhumane...they get money and still envious of what the people will get...shame on them all..! 🇳🇬
Uhmmm
2019 is around the corner , vote them out
What is 22,500.
They are very wicked Did they consider that a Man who earns N22,000 Will pay for Rents, Utility Bills, Family health care costs, family feeding costs, Children school fees, Transportations, extended family assistance, and so much more. Pay_Reasonable_Living_Wage_or_be_Voted_out
Shame to all of them, inconsiderate looters and killers of mankind
MrRArabi Lol. And labour said they want 66k
50k or nothing!!!!
Vote for YeleSowore for better pay and better life. Vote AAC! Take it back!
N22'500 minimum wage...the cost of Post Graduate form at UNILAG!
Shameless people.
Wickedness is when a man without a certificate is making rules to pay those with hard earned certificates. This same group will not give their children 22500 for breakfast but they'll give a person that as monthly salary, Even the Devil is ashamed of you Nigeria. EveryoneMatters
This APC government is the worse that can happen to any nation. So heartless, greedy and lying merchants. They don't care abt the citizens. They say Mbuhari is fighting corruption n arresting looters, the impact of recovered funds has not been seen by the citizens.
Pls pay the common man the wages due to him for all politicians are thieves including Mbuhari and Atiku. As human we will all give account of our stewardship on judgement day.
This is what happens when all you have to move your country forward is just career politicians...... They can’t pay 18,000 minimum wage yet they promise to pay 22,500 because of Election..... Even Nigeria Labour Congress is not in the right frame of mind to make the request....
I think Nigerians shud stop crying because I can remember when you all made your choice and voted for change now change is here and may it never leave you ppl 😀😀😀😀😀😀😂😁😁🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃
Stupid set of people, they should go and pay their wards and families.
22500 ówó domino's pizza
Good news!
Lol who are Dey fooling
You people are mad. Reduce your salaries. Minimum wage is suppose to be 60k. Stop hiding our money
So the 7.5k go really affect them?! 😌
What a shame a whole worker that work for 26 days of the month how much is a bag of rice in Nigeria
Useless pple
NLC we are waiting for your command, No 30,000 Minimum wage No work, nonsense Governors
The only time politicians from different parties unite in Nigeria is when they take decision to impoverish the masses . They have agreed a minimum wage of of N22,500 less than £50 and less than $100 monthly. They will never agree to reduce their security votes.
Are these people serious at all?
If you cannot stand the Heat then leave the kitchen. If a Gov says he cant pay 30,000 & above let him resign honourably so as to make way for someone who can.
NLc have to come in and reject it. While governors and senators are earning big salary. I pray that God will 4give all our leaders in Nigerian.
Most states can't even pay the old one
Mr governors, Change your word to good.
This is rubbish,so they are good to earn billions of naira,how much is a bag of rice......
They're rogues
All workers should get their PVC and elect wisely.
It is my advice that both the workers and their leaders should have a rethink on this matter.
We should keep sentiments aside and have a dispassionate view on the issue of the new minimum wage. Most of the state governments could not afford to pay the old minimum wage of N18,000.00 for many years, how to you expect them to pay a new one higher than the old one.
is this gonna be ok by NLC?
Minimum wage going to be increased by N4500? this is a shame, democracy isn't practiced in the country anymore. The government is so unjust and corrupt. But dey can embezzle billions of dollars. So painful
Bag of rice is now 21,000 God is going to punish all the evil leaders in Nigeria amen
22,500 as minimum wage and they think they have achieved anything? That meeting sef was not necessary
It's shameful that MBuhari & ProfOsinbajo collect 1.75m &1.5m monthly, NGRSenate & govs earn 700k & 1m aside other allowances but fighting hard to accept 30k as minimum wage.More shameful for Govs to say they couldn't pay.Happy workers, wealthy nation.ask china minimumwage
So they added 2500, did Ganduje agreed to that with all the 5 million dollars... 🙆 mogbe!
That’s a ridiculous amount.....strike the next option
Sting governors...if they can pay that, then 30k won't be an issue here
Haha.....how many have been able to pay the existing minimum N18, 000 or less? Nigerians follow Senator Sani's Twitter handle. APC's slogan is 'Change': they will change the minimum wage agreement just as they changed names of candidates on their list to INEC. Just views. Thanks.
I stand with November 6 Labour strike
Scam ...some of them don't even pay 18k talkless of 22k
22,500? NLC pls start warming up Nov 6 must be memorable
Absolute nonsense... Some of them there no even get waec,most no go university yet they want to pay just 22,500 as minimum wage to people with degree and post graduate degrees. Their shame is shaming me
They should also collect 22500 as their salary too.what a wicked world
I have never seen a government that is wicked and unserious as this government. They should remember that God is in heaven watching them. They should all watch their back.
The are not well
Nonsense... increase it to 3300 per hour, that is $10 per hour to give 528,000 naira a month.. That is supposed to be their salary.. Nonentities
How much do they give their side chicks for a one night stand? Nonsense people
30k won't be a bad idea
From 18 to 22,500 diff of 4,500 is this all nlc can fight for? What a shame
Showdown time; organized labour, bare your fangs. No mercy!
The strike must hold.
Governors are thinking about election in 2019 not the Minimum wage.....
do this men have shame at all, 1k per day is what dey are finding this difficult to pay. That's wicked
because their own emoluments will receive a higher review. Closing the gap btn high and lower income earners is what we need
Campaign stunt..
Imagine these idiots were giving me electricity bill of 17k before we went to court and got our prepaid metre.
Why not complete it? Will additional 500 hurt any one?💁
Unproductive lazy governors that can't think of a way to generate income from their states. Wicked people! What will 22k5 solve for a family these days. Not acceptable!
It's so pathetic to work for a month and get 22,500. The security votes are not accountable for by the Governors, they keep the workers in abject poverty and lavish our resources.
Am tempted to say dey are animals, upon all the millions dem dey chop God go punish dem all
This is out-ragious and unacceptable, how could men who promised to fight for our best interest say things like this. Nigeria needs a miracle now. Their effort is not recognized at all in fact I feel its a big shame to ever consider something like that. How much is their pay?
I’m my opinion I believe FG has no problems paying workers even 50k but what about the states? Most of these states don’t have IGR, they simply depend on allocations from FG yet they bring absolutely nothing to the table.
I keep telling people, the problem often times in this country is not just the FG but these lazy minded Governors who are so unproductive, how can you say you can’t afford 30k for workers who make bulk of the funds they embezzled? This is the heightof wickedness.
Let them wait for the wroth of Nigerians
But they are collecting N2m every month basic salary. They should be ready to contend with Nationwide strike.
30k or no deal.
22500 is that even enough for the daily fuel of a governor's convoy ? We don't want the minimum wage again, just reverse the pump price of fuel to 97naira per litre and bring back 180naira to a dollar.
Rubbish! I continue to say that governors are our problem in Nigeria!!!
Why don't we place these our politicians on minimum wage and see how they will survuve
A bunch of frivolous unreasonable touts! At 18k, they have been owing workers 6 to 9 months salaries. At 30, they disagreed. If you give them 6 months grace, they won't pay 4 months out of it. Workers should not agree with their heinous pen robbery.
It's not enough minimum wage must be 30k, they mustly focused on their politically selfish campaign
Hw ll one live with 22k the 24k proposed by the FG is even better to this wicked people calling them self Governors
Alot of things need restructuring!!! We must cancel security vote and bogus pension (House, Car & Medical) for all the present and formal governor's.
That's wickedness of the highest level
God will not forgive our governors with this rubbish N22,500, I hope Labour union is not on their side, otherwise they will all be punished by the almighty God. The Nay have it's REJECTED YEYE GOVERNORS.
Ridiculous useless people awon oloriburuku Ole oni dollars koni dafun won
So extra 4500 is all you can over ? NLC should maintain their stand 30,000 or nothing. How many weeks will 22500 last ?
I see nothing but selfish leader's who absolutely greedy.
SOWORE will increase minimum wage to 100000. Vote Sowore vote AAC for a complete upliftment in all ramification
30k or we go strike
These governor are the worst clowns of the century...ask this idiots how many special adviser they have..abd domestic staffs..wasting money on irrelevant stuffs..how many cars in their convoys..the fools who doesn't understand governance is saying they can't pay 30k.. 100usd.
Dear governors you should be placed on this same minimum wage too make una see as e dey pain. Don't vote for this wicked Pharaohs
Where someone is pocketing millions of naira within a minute another person is struggling to meet their needs. What the heck is 22,500? You people should remember that God is not dead and y'all gonna die one day.
Wicked beings
100,000.00 or no deal. Useless set of pot belly fathers that doesn’t care about their extended family or neighbors.
indeed Nigerians we have a long way to go,these are people that will soon come rushing for our votes....na look,I dey look.
God have mercy,most state can't pay 18k,even Lagos state is not paying 18k,but all our lawmakers,governors are living well hmm
Nigeria governors are wicked. How can they agree on just N22500 when they are looting our treasury.
Nice one
Nigeria need to be reset, things can't continue like this.
Nigeria is a big joke
mad men
Why can’t they reduce the cost of running their government too
Barbarians
Strangely non of these governors thought of reducing their salaries or allowances as sacrifice to upgrade the salaries of the workers in their various states. Quite sad.
God have mercy on Nigerian leaders.
Wht is d difference btwn 18 nd 22. I weep fr my country.
oluwaloninyo That's an insult to Nigerian workers
They are mad. So they earn millions but can't pay 30k yea? This bunch of idiots needs to be voted out
The Zamfara State governor who is unable to pay the 18k minimum wage is the Chairman Governors forum. Una nova get sense. ElameenIam
Bastards
Na sango go kill of all una wey dey make us suffer for this country...make they make senators, governors and other political thieves earn 22,500 too as there monthly pay...awan oloriburuku agba ti ko ni jere gbeyin aye wan...
Has the FG agreed on that figure as well?
Foolishness...must the agree... Isn't it's the constitutional rights of workers to earn again
22k Na Ogun go punish them well as lagbaja said we are 200 million MUMU we will accept and be alright las las
So that's what I'm looking forward to .
I doubt it if Osun state governor will agree to that amount
This is why there is an insanely high rate of corruption in this country.....how do u expect them to feed their families with N22,500...and u expect them not to steal? U’all should be ashamed of urselves
so how will the life/standard of living of state civil servant ever get better with the increment of 4,500
....this is less 1k a day. Plus house rent, transport, feeding and their children school fees. They should better resign and leave the affairs of Nigeria to those who can run it.
Shame on them, Labour should Go on there strike Action.
yet they can't pay. As if the money is their inheritance. Almighty God will fight the battle for the poor.
22,500.God have mercy on cs. Go to Most of their states,no roads,health care etc. What are they using federal allocation for?
No way, 30,000 or strike on the 6th November
What is 22,500K? Can any of the governor's children collect 22,500as salary? Even the 30K they are fighting for is small. They should bring it up to 36K to be equal to $100. Nonsense!
So what happened to the remaining 2500?
👎👎👎
What is 22.500 agreed as minimum wage that is now breaking news ?what a shame
What's the difference between 18000 and 22500, how do you expect people to cater for health and basic amenities, in addition to house rent, we urgently need to purge ourselves of these bunch of inhumane leaders...Nigerianswakeup
Adding the 500 alone is enough insult to Nigeria's
Nigerians want and need a LIVING WAGE not this minimum nonsense!
. How much is d governors giving their children as pocket money on daily basis.
Witch. Wicked. And Wizard that's what they are
Many States can't pay! Kogi that can't pay N18,000, how can N22,500 excite the workers? Was Yahaya Bello at this meeting? What was his contribution?
Their own salaries should also be reduce if the wicked can't afford to pay 50,000 as minimum wage 😴😌😥😥😪🤤😓
Whats the difference Stingy people
God punish all of una.
☺️🙇♀️🙇♀️
My state gov'nor, de there oooo make na fasten ur seat belt ooooo
These no hoppers don't blink an eye before they pay themselves underserved allowances n pension to d ex-looters that retired to d senate. Yet they cannot pay workers a living wage. Posterity will judge all the governors.
Shameless hypocrites
When they removed subsidy on petrol nobody considered d consequence of inflation. Now for min. wage they r shouting inflation. Abeg our inflation don reach where e no fit affect us again. Any short of 100% increase is silly. 30k mean say NLC on try
Its a Sad News! Petrol145/L,bag Of Rice 18k,25L of Veg Oil=18k,Garri 600/paint,Rent,Nepa,Tfare etc on a salary of 22,500/Month. Nigerian Leaders r Wickeder than Devil. Do d maths:30/22.5=?
This men should be checked for either ear or brain disability, I thought NLC discussed N30,000 with all of us?
What do u expect from people who are clueless, lazy, greedy, heartless n wicked. They are parasites n has nothing to offer d host. The cure is PVC come 2019. None of those nonentities should smell govt house in 2019.
this ain’t a breaking news, it’s bad news perhaps breaking news would’ve been Nigeria gov’t agrees to pay N100,000 for minimum wage. That’s breaking News
22,500.. It is better to leave it at 18k coz the 4,500 increments will still cause inflation.
N22, 500 less than $90... The Governors are mad
Good news
My vex be say them give zamfara state governor their chairman.... That clueless man!!
Time to shut down all governor's office, we need the Shiite spirit now like now, shut down all offices. NO 30K NO WORK. Shut down airport shut down Aso rock
They are not serious
what a wicked decision!
My candid take is that labour should strike like hell. Strike until something happens. With this, Nothing has happened.
Even Adams oshiomhole who's is supposed to be speaking for the workers is not a camelion protecting the people he called names when he was head of NLC. I fear humans.
This is Bullshet
Less than 62 Dollars per month
Hilarious! These governors are seriously not ok psychologically.
No way. They should make it up to 30k else an indefinite action by NLC should take place fast. All die na die
Very poor still very poor
Waste of votes .....smh😤
What rubbish
Any governor not able to pay N30,000 should be impeached
Plus N4000...all of them de craze! All just for the politics and elections...
Good one
Not even up to $65... Lol
Pls help us tell the governors they are very mental
As if the governors deserves some accolade now after adding nothing but just 4,500 on top of 18,000. Does that make any difference to compare with the inflation and hardship in the nation?
Sometimes I wonder what our ideology is in this part of the world. First we assume minimum wage must be monthly (why not per hour), next we assume all states are equal and should pay equally. I do not see any realistic progress in this arrangement.
Even with 500
U don mirit
nonsense what is 22,500,is that for transport to work or what
Is this per hour or per month? This is ridiculous.
If the government can't increase salaries let them give workers attractive facilities and allowance in other to motivate them. But it's a pity for a government that has security vote of billions can't pay salaries May God help us
Simply not good enough brother governors
Lazy Nigerian Governors that can't think outside the box to raise IGR of their state.if you can't pay 30k just resign let capable hands do
How much are foodstuffs in the market you are agreeing to pay a family man/woman N22,500 to take care of his/her family expenses for 30 days? You guys deserve no humane treatment. You leaders are beasts!!
What a pity
So we should declare tomorrow public holiday to celebrate it? 30k or nothing, shameless country!!
Agree oo or not we are voting most of them out
Lolz
I beg this 22,500 they are talking about should not be acceptable
What are the odds labour will actually strike!!
Mad set of people
Stil not accepted 😏
SSCE holder's dealing profs, PhD ..........
This country is a big joke💀 Tufiakwa..
What a joke
Olurops Wow, are these people crazy or what? What an insult. Labour better proceed with the strike.
FG should agree to pay 30k.. Apc Govt should show nigerian workers and average mass how this govt is about them.. Instead of paying lip service all time.. And pretending to working on the people interest.. Fake govt
The Nigerian political system has failed. N22,500 as new minimum wage as against the salaries and allowances of the political class ?
why not 30000k
Is there any difference between 22,500 and 18,000? I'm in support of Nov. 6 labour strike
Can they allow their own children to work for 30days and earn just an amount? This is Man inhumanity to Man. ₦22500 and will pay Nepa bill of ₦9000 monthly, pay house rent, feeding etc. Please are we going forward in this country?
Strike dey smell
Pls what is the difference between 18k n 22,500?
Politics, EVIL they have no pity for PIPU...
This is evil
Total BS...22,500 my back bumper. They could as well pay 2,250:00.
The one they agreed before they can't pay. Some states as we speak owe 11 months. The question should be when will they pay the ones they owe?. A national law should actually be passed to prohibit owing of workers. How can u owe people for months and u don't expect corruption
Oh NAIJA, we don suffer
Wicked human beings. . . We need prayer for Nigeria
No. 30k or nothing.
Still bullshit when the purchasing power of naira is so bad, and no other safety nets.
Rather than pay this nonsense, you had better leave it at the old price until you are ready for a real increment. N36,000 should be it for me.
What a funny country how much are they collecting What will 22,500 do will is pay the school fees of three kids or feed a family of three Pls nig we deserve more we can't live like these
Really laughable, why not pay them N22,300? While u are going home with humongous amount. Even go ahead to received pension and leaving office, like I always said. Any governor who's not ready to do the bidding of the people should be voted out.
Did channelstv ask them why they could not even pay 18,000.? And if not could it matter to pay 1 m Naira.
The remaining 500💆
Governors agreed to $73 as minimum wage while the VP is learning Shaku shaku. God will save the downtrodden of this Nation
18,000.00 --- 22,500.00 that's an increment of 4,500.00. How genius!! Lemme guess, the (so-called) governors feel their workers are begging for money. Right? Genius! Nigeria is at war, albeit unspoken and undeclared.
This is an insult of Nigeria workers. What can N22,500 buy in present day Nigeria? Nigeria Labour Congress should reject this insult. The States & Federal Govt shld cut down on bogus govt expenditure & security votes so they can pay Workers minimum wage of no less than N100,000.
Finally
Nonsense
Not enough in this global recession
NLC over to you.
