The Voice of the People

Amazing how fast bad things escalate. N29k from a minimum of N85k. Hmmmmm. This outrageous amount. The ripple effect is fast increasing in diameter. From Abuja to Lagos to Bauchi.

Action they say, begets an equal and opposite reaction. From Shutting down Call Centers to shutting down shops to shutting down switch sites thus affecting mobile networks in Abuja and surrounding states. Seriously affecting revenue, churn, brand image and much more.

In this our "siddon-look' society, it's interesting to see young people stand up in the face of oppression and social and economic injustice which threatens to destroy our economy, our country and indeed the freedom of our children born and yet unborn. That they may not grow up in a world of slavery and that they should be free of oppression by legal and illegal immigrants.

The cry is getting louder and the people are becoming more aware. I advice that the Nigerian government intervene sensibly and the concerned parties favourably reverse their monetary and other staff welfare issues in favour of the people.

The Nigerian labour laws and practices must be revisited and reviewed to suit all Nigerian and not just a greedy few politicians. I believe the minimum wage should be reviewed to N60,000/month for non-graduates. Every single state can afford to pay this amount if the leaders are willing to put aside their greed and focus more on the people rather than on amassing personal wealth. As I see the beginning of the Nigerian uprising, if this situation is not resolved with wisdom.

The voice of the people they say.............. is the voice of GOD!!!

God bless Nigerian youths. God bless the Nigerian people. God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
