Nigerian governors will eventually reduce the federal minimum wage of N18,000 or downsize because of the current economic crunch, the chairman of the body of governors has said.
The chairman of the Nigerian Governors Forum and Zamfara state governor, Abdulaziz Yari, said on Thursday that irrespective of public condemnations of the plan, it would not be economically feasible to retain the same workforce and pay same amount of money.
According to him, funds allocated from the Federation Account could no longer sustain the expenses
of the state as the internally generated revenue was still below par in some states.
Governors had two weeks ago declared that they could no longer cope with the N18, 000 minimum wage. The pronouncement caused a stir as Nigerians kicked against it.
The governors of Rivers and Edo rejected the plan.
Emerging from a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the State House Abuja, on Thursday, Mr. Yari said the governors were considering the nation's economic situation.
"Let me make it very clear to Nigerians, governor's forum is not the enemy of labour in any way. Rather, we have been working together. But what we are saying, (because not only Gov. Wike but also my friend in the comradeship, Adams Oshiomhole, kicked against the decision).
What we said is that when the National Assembly enacted the law of paying N18, 000 minimum wage, then the oil was about $118 per barrel and today where we are oil is $41 per barrel. So, if it continues like that definitely we will find it difficult to continue. We have to sit down with the labour and see how we can review; either continue or downsizing, or see what we are going to do.
We want to find a solution because we have to be realistic that we have so many things to touch. There is infrastructure deficit, there is need for security, there are other things like social lives of our people and nation as a state," he said.
The governor said from the federation account, some states received N400 million, N500 million while others received N55 million.
"And there are other issues, not even the salary, their pension is over a billion. So, how can we continue borrowing and servicing the service aspect of our expenditure, or overhead. How can we do that?
We are telling the public that we are planning to sit down with the president and his team and the state governors as a team and the experts to come out with the way forward and how we are going to handle the poor state of the economy in the country.
But what we have on ground now will not be realistic if it continues the way it is without having other sources from the economy and still relying on oil that is being sold for $118 dollar per barrel and now down to $41 and think that we can continue behaving or misbehaving the way we are doing, if there is anything like that," he added.

French journalist and TV host Estelle Denis has made some eye popping allegations against Real Madrid footballer, Cristiano Ronaldo. Denis says Cristiano Ronaldo's frequent trips in his private jet to Morocco is because he is in a gay relationship with kickboxer boxer Badr Hari and also claimed the superstar footballer has had cosmetic surgery on his nose.
Denis' comments followed a report that Ronaldo's recent behaviour was "causing concern" at Real Madrid.
The report hinted that officials at the football club frowned up the player's frequent visits to Morocco and damaging his performances on the pitch.
"Ronaldo takes three or four jets a week to see a friend in Morocco to cuddle," he said, leading to shocked gasps from the audience.
His comments come after the Ronaldo and his new BFF shared pics of their BROmance .
During one of such trips, kick boxer Hari posted a photo on Facebook of him holding up Ronaldo.
"Just married," the caption said. "Always there to pick you up, bro."
Other snaps of the trip shared a candle-lit image of a traditional Moroccan meal, as well as a picture of the two sportsmen post "wedding".
Ronaldo has in the past denied being gay, saying he is content with his sexuality.
Back in 2010, Lionel Messi's arch rival supported Portugal's decision to allow gay marriage.
"As I am Portuguese, I try to keep myself informed about what is happening in my country," he said at the time.
"We must respect the choices of each other, because, after all, all citizens should have the same rights and responsibilities."
25 year old Abby and Brittany have been called one of the sexiest Siamese twins. They are dicephalic parapagus twins, meaning that they are conjoined twins who each have a separate head, but share one body.
They have several separate vital organs: a separate heart, stomach, spine and spinal cord. But they share their arms, breast, ribcage and legs.
They also have a reality show on TLC called Abby & Brittany. They both went to college and have B.A. degrees and are considered one of the most suc
A video showing a toddler smoking what looks like marijuana prompted an investigation by the Chicago Police Department.
A young boy wearing only a diaper takes two hits off what appears to be a joint or a blunt under the guidance of a man whose voice can be heard in the 16-second video.
"Smoke, bro," the man, who isn't seen, said. "Inhale it."
He added,
"Do this" before showing the boy how to inhale.
The boy held the apparent weed in front of him for a moment, nearly burning himself.
"Let me hit that," the man said. The video then ends.
Investigators with the Area South Special Victims unit are looking into where the footage was filmed, a Chicago police spokesman said. Community activist Andrew Holmes said
This is sickening," This child needs help ASAP if he hasn't had help already. It's disturbing to hear the adult that was in the background to let them hit it and they're telling the child to inhale."

Just got this news from a source:
Senate, yesterday, revealed that about N200 billion education tax collected between 2012 and 2013 were diverted to unknown and unspecified uses not recognised in or permitted under the Act setting up the Education Trust Fund. The funds were diverted during former president Goodluck Jonathan's administration. A probe was subsequently ordered.
The revelation was contained in a motion sponsored by Senator Abdullahi Aliyu. Senator Aliyu noted that some institutions got multiple allocations of special intervention, while institutions that are their peers did not receive any within the period under review. "About N200 billion of education tax collected between 2012 and 2013 were diverted.
"Tertiary Education Trust Fund Board granted a loan to the Federal Ministry of Education and also organised a workshop and pre-retreat in the United States of America and Kenya in 2014-2015 without recourse to guidelines of the Act. "About N500 million was budgeted for advertising and media in the 2015 budget which contravenes the rehabilitation, restoration and consolidation of tertiary education in Nigeria, in accordance with Section 3(1) of the Tertiary Education Trust Fund Act 2011."

Nigerian Pastor T.B. Joshua has released a controversial YouTube video purportedly showing the healing of a man with horrific snake-like scales across his body. The clip titled, 'A Video You Will Never Forget' shows Mr Jude Oraka from Anambra State, Nigeria, receiving prayer from the popular cleric during a prayer service at The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) in Lagos.
Oraka, a driver by profession, claimed he fell victim to a strange skin disease six years ago which "defied medical comprehension". Jude's sister described him as a "walking corpse" whom the family had given up on. However, several months after receiving prayer, Oraka returned with smooth skin to testify that "he was healed by Jesus Christ through T.B. Joshua".
The clip has already racked up over 100,000 views since its release and attracted hundreds of comments from both skeptics and believers alike. Joshua is not a stranger to controversy, making headlines this week for not showing up at a court case surrounding the deadly collapse of a building within his church premises last year. Emmanuel TV, which debuted on DStv and GOtv last month, is one of the most popular Christian television stations in Africa. It's YouTube channel has over 265,000 subscribers, making it among the most subscribed Christian channels worldwide
