God bless you Femi Falana (SAN) for your advocacy of Truth and good governance. I listened to Prof Soludo's democracy speech on June 12, 2024. He cited one of his research works, which showed a strong correlation between the practice of democracy and economic prosperity of Nations. Until Nigeria embraces the tenets of democracy and free and fair election, all the vogages of our ship of state is bound to shallows and miseries.
You just spoke the truth sir, that the Nigeria Govt. System is already dilapidated. So, until all the dilapidated structures are fix or corrected, things will get worsen in this country. What's written in the law has been contradicted to suit this wicked politicians and their generations. Imagine why can't they pay 105k/200k as minimum wage when they can afford to use govt. fund to buy luxury cars, buildings etc are they not part of the citizen, what makes them different. If Nigerian law prevails to punish embezzlement heavily in this country govt. will be able to pay even 200k minimum wages. And as (SAN) has said 100% increase of minimum wage should be done at some certain level while the % reduces at the top level simple. Lets tell our self the truth 100k national minimum wage cannot even be enough except been managed. So, i think for private sectors can be addressed with different policy based on their annual revenue.
Democracy is the government that protect the rights, freedom, lives and properties of the masses. Thus, I don't agreed that in Nigeria we are practicing Democracy.
I strongly agree with Femi Falana (SAN) that FG and states can pay N250,000= as minimum wage. One of the performance indicators success of any government is the ability to generate revenue through productive activities in a conducive business environment. But in Nigeria the emphasis appears to be conspicous consumption and treasury looting by the political class to the detriment of the masses. Nigeria is blessed with huge natural and mineral resources. What is lacking is committed and visionary leadership.
Please Falana what is the faith for the ExxonMobil Spy police that were sacked by ExxonMobil without paying them their due upon the court ruling which you were their council. What have you done ever since then. We use to hear that the court is the last hope of a common. But today the reverse is the case
We agree in all fours with our learned lawyer Nigerians are really suffering it's unfortunate that Nigerians are under this torture.😢The recklessness of the police is beyond description
Hun...if the western world keeps helping, our economy, in other to make Nigerians happy & wealthy, in Nigeria, how will their own economy grow? or who will drive their prosperity? Life must be difficult here, for our children to "JAPA" to the western countries to serve them.
I hate the statements "if they have Political will". Which will are they suppose to have in first place? Is it not People will?. Are they representing themselves in that seat ? Or Is that seat not seat of the People of these Nation? It is an insult that statements. "There is no Political will". Those Governor's are our representatives and They're there because of us, the populice. They own Us accountabilities of what they are doing with public money, which is our money.🥵
Mr. Falana is now an economic expert who now understands that our economy can afford to pay minimum wage our mentally challenged unionists are demanding. How much is Mr. Falana paying lawyers in his chamber? If Mr. Falana thinks that ordinary medium scale businesses can avoid even the minimum that the Federal Government is proposing, let him think again. It is criminal folly to force even States of the Federation to pay imposed national minimum wage. That is the responsibility of state assemblies. States should be able to determine their own minimum wages. That should be part of the residual powers of the states under any democratic dispensation. But Nigeria been what it is, assemblage of irrational and emotional people, intelligent thoughts are never part of our DNA. Everything as far as Falana is concerned must be the constitution. How about common sense and prudence in the face of reality?
The senators should cut down their salaries and allowances because these are the people milking thise country dry for doing nothing or jobs, the real people doing the major work are those civil servants they're sitting on.
What is there to celebrate when there are no dividends of democracy? How many have been removed from the shackles of poverty? What is our debt profile? What about a brewing presidential monarchy and dictatorship? We have not learned our lessons, Period!
It's not yet to ask for the increase of Salary .what we need is unity and Security of the people of Nigeria these include Education, Heath ,mass Employment Good Road net work Freedom and respect in all levels irrespective Tribes.
Two ways, return subsidy, ignore IMF/World Bank or deduct emoluments/salaries of workers from the national monthly earnings before sharing the balance to the Federal, States and Local Governments. The private sector should also be subsidized/assisted to be able to pay the approved minimum wage.
@@olawaleogunlade8241u will agree with me that the major distortion to the economy are both fuel subsidy and security, this is where the government should have concentrated,fuel subsidy was a scam ,arrest the scam and corruption,arrest the insecurity ,once this is stabilized ,govt can start building coastal roads,govt residence n world largest collage or painting. It
@@olawaleogunlade8241Don’t let anybody deceive you, Nigeria has enough money to pay. I also think paying of these amounts will help everyone buckle up on productivity and the generation of funds from both foreign and local production. If you know you have a bill to pay, you will be serious and diligent in your hustle. Haven’t you heard that we are blessed with both natural and Human Resources? It’s time we put everything to work as they should.
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 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
There is already an inflation in the land hence the call for a new minimum wage… the fallacy of a new Inflation is only driven by those whom it will Favour- the lack of political will to ensure a new inflation doesn’t arise is the same that means that all what you listed above will not work/be enforced … 60k means civil servants in Nigeria continue to languish in poverty and are enticed by a continual bribery and corruption culture we see in every office today.
Yes but it's better that way since they keep increasing their own salaries and allow masses and workers to suffer. Imagine spending 70k every month on electricity tariff which I was used to subscribing 20k and that's applicable to other things and u are paying 62k,that's wickedness against humanity
Falana and Labour are part of the people that put Nigeria in this mess, removal of Subsidy should have been done 10 years ago when it would have been less painful, we have to wait until Nigeria was almost Bankrupt.
Falana should address the curruption and betrayal of the judiciary. That is the root cause of curruption in nigeria.Because criminal politians getting away with crime.
Femi Falana, Femico Femico as late Gani Fawehinmi used to called you, you are just noise maker now. you have derailed from the plan and motive that late Gani structured. You contested an election in your state Ekiti but you failed. pple that still taking you serious has nothing to do.
Please stop inviting this useless and shameless SAN . Blocking the justice for MOHBAD. Who was killed at home. We hate injustice and this falana is an injustice felony

MINIMUM WAGE LEADS TO A LIVING WAGE IF THERE IS PRICE CONTROL!!!

What an interview. What a talk!!!
True talk, God bless you sir
This is a calling for true federalism! If not, Nigeria economy had been allocated amongst these slave masters representatives in the government house!

Thank you sir
The minimum wage of 105k is not even good money it's less than the last minimum wage of 30k and we have to fight for it.
Weldon sir.Long live sir
in other words: if the governors and senators will steal less money.
Please Falana what is the faith for the ExxonMobil Spy police that were sacked by ExxonMobil without paying them their due upon the court ruling which you were their council.
What have you done ever since then. We use to hear that the court is the last hope of a common. But today the reverse is the case
Are you asking this now for falana to respond to you or we the readers to respond to you??
Falana doesn't have time UA-cam comments, go and knock on his gate
Truth,God bless u sir

President Tinubu should work the talk for what Nigerians are going through today is never democracy.
Seun voice is so funny

What is the entire proposed revenue of the federal government?

No international trips for all government functionaries for the next one year

Subsidy is a scam.

Not just bankrupt but allowing the present criminal and non-sincere government to remove it and reintroduced it secretly and enjoying the loot🙄 🤔
And when it was not removed 10years ago, they shouldn't have removed it again? They should have borrowed money from IMF to pay for subsidy?
Minimum wage is not salary review 👌🏽
