Maximum vs. minimum wage? Loot; Blood; LGAs; Flood

Maximum vs minimum wage is a disparity struggle deliberately inflamed by thoughtless political selfishness and greed. When politicians fuelled their highly inflationary and corruption-prone rocket-propelled maximum salaries and irresponsibly large perks, they had no thought or compassion for the N18,000 per month minimum wage Citizen Common Man. Most states refused to pay the ‘new’ N30,000 minimum wage.

Yes, there is an ecosystem of Registered Auctioneers unknown to most people. It is at auctions that items are sold to the highest bidder, to prevent fraud and bring maximum profit. What happens to the money raised at auction? Telling us about Abacha loot returned is important but there is the need for public information on the numerous cases of loot recovery with cases of N400m, N1-100billion stolen. Secrecy creates corruption.

The ongoing battle for the elevation of the LGAs to autonomous, as dreamed of by most Nigerians out of government, is essential for grassroots development. LGA elections are being moved to INEC. Caretaker LGAs must become anathema. The requirement for funds due the LGA to be in State/LGA ‘Joint Account’ is wrong. Until LGAs are politically and financially free, there will continue to be neglect at the LGA levels and theft by governors.

To manage flooding in Lagos, there is an aggressive government effort to reclaim from ‘illegal builders’ the ‘right of waterways/drainage’. Long neglected clogged canals are being cleared of refuse and plant growths. Waste collection must be stepped up, especially in poorer areas, before it is wrongly thrown into the gutters at the first rains, further blocking them.
