Reno Omokri has weigh in on the nationwide strike, as he revealed that N494,000 is more than sixteen times the current minimum wage of N30,000.
He added that Nigerians will bear the brunt if government gives in to the outrageous demands of the labour unions. NLC President, Joe Ajaero, is working to please his master, Peter Obi. They’re fighting a proxy w+r for Peter Obi
If producers of goods and services, like Dangote, Indomie, Nestle, Flour Mills of Nigeria, Glo, petrol stations, etc, have to pay their staff a minimum of N494,000, what do you think they will charge for their products? You, as a worker, will be jumping from frying pan to fire!
Joel Ajaero and his gang are not economists, and worse still, they are supporters of Peter Obi. They endorsed him during the election. They campaigned for him. They defended him. Please assume I am a liar and fact-check me. They are fighting a proxy war for Peter Obi. Obviously, the 2027 election is affecting their direction. They do not have an economic agenda. They have a political objective.
If the Federal Government should give in to their outrageous demands, it is you who will si ffer. Ajaeeo is not poor. He has money. He travels abroad in style. He can relocate his family. It is you and your family that will bear the brunt of this politician in labour union clothes.
Joe Ajaero’s national strike will only cause national strife. This is the eighth strike Ajaero is calling this year. He has called more strikes than the last three NLC Presidents combined! If he wants to be a striker, let him go and become a footballer. He can then compete with Messi and Ronaldo on who is the GOAT striker.
Even the Organised Private Sector, the manufacturing base of Nigeria, have publicly said they cannot pay #494,000, and patriotically suggested N60,000, which is a reasonable amount. I even think the government should go as high as N80,000. But #494,000 is just outrageous and an attempt by Joe Ajaero toplease his master, Peter Obi, who himself pays his own workers at Next supermarket peanut.
How can any reasonable person demand that the minimum wage should increase by 1600%? Has Nigeria’s revenue, production capacity, or tax base expanded by 1600%? Is Joe Ajaero an economic saboteur who wants to crash our economy to make it easy for his boss in the 2027 election?
Ajaero is a politician. He should leave labour unionism and join Peter Obi’s political movement.
