Very bad. Please buy sand from these street and road sweepers if you have small projects to do in your house e.g building chicken houses, dog house, small stores or doing latrines and small cement plastering. The sweepers keep the sand in Dangote sacks by the road side. The sand cost 300-400 naira per bag. Patronize them and put money in their pockets. God bless you. Amen. 2025 will favour us all. Amen.

...yet Lagos has the 2nd best economy in Africa right?...with 256 BILLION revenue.

That is not just it. One of them my friend interrogated somewhere in Surulere said, even the 30,000 is not paid monthly at times, confirming the crime some of these government workers commit-They fix the money for some months before paying them.

Many heads supposed to rolls on this issue cos Lagos state has already been paying over N70K as a minimum wage to both contract and main staff but set of people have already hijack part of their salary.

They’re paid directly from the government. She has every right to enter the ministry charged with their funding and demand the required increment.

Does Anambra and Abia even have sweepers at all in the first place or are you just jealous that Lagos is 2nd best economic city and not Imo or Anambra? Just calm down your nerve, the sweeper is complaining about contractor that employed them and not Lagos state government. She said she learnt that 2nd best economic city is paying N85k, but contractor reducing it to N30k. Is a question on assumption yet, but your jealousy and polluted mind quickly went to abuse Lagos because your own state is not even recognized for economy success yet except in faking drug


What's wrong is wrong.. The port is the lifeline, if you have one working port in the east, your Lagos will look like the demolished Landmark beach..

Can You survive with 40k a week in this country, yet a month

Not possible. Taking them on permanent will involve other staff benefits like pension etc. meanwhile most take these jobs as temporary jobs. Abi who wan clean street or plan to sweep for 20 years.

That's not an excuse, there are those who have been doing this job for up to ten years now, let those who want it take and those who don't want leave it for others

Lagos state can take it up, the benefits may not have to be like others, even if it is, what's wrong with a sweeper of 20-35years getting a gratuity or pension?

The govt uses these contracts to settle political jobbers while people's life are messed up in the process, at least the govt should monitor what the contractors are doing and ensure the workers are not cheated

Tell Soludo to accept world bank loan to start deep sea port in Anambra instead of bragging on futility that "...we no dey take loan...". Investing on buildings and 3km roads as Petty petty projects will not help you if you want to develop faster like Lagos. If you start deep sea port and you succeed in your venture, federal government will take over and refund the state, but if you fail in the deep sea port project, you pay world bank back their loans and keep the failure to yourself. Tell your governor to accept loan with minimum interest rate and use it wisely to build railway infrastructure across your state to improve your economy like Lagos instead of mediocrity bragging (" ...we no dey take loan..."wink. Even USA that is richest country in the world takes loan and judiciously makes use of it.

When you could survive with N40k in Jonathan era, were governors even for your state able to pay workers good salary without going bankrupt? Were everything not grounded from PDP when Buhari took over in of salary payment? If everybody could survive with N40k, why did people voted out PDP and even mocked "mama throwway..."? Enough of fake life!

Carry the truth he said to improve Abia workforce first before he even talk about if Abia sweepers exist or not. You need that truth more in Anambra that is constantly being dirty by ESN or where is my lie that you needed more sweepers in Anambra and Abia instead of putting mouth on what he didn't understand in Lagos matters.

The complainer sweeper was complaining about contractor and not Lagos state government, but your Biafran friend was quick to insult Lagos state government on mere unverified assumption which you found to be true because you reason in like manners. Is it not better you carry that truth to Abia or Anambra that are even struggling to pay new minimum wage to improve the sweeping standard there ?

You head is incorrect. What makes u think I'm ibo because I told u the truth. I'm right after all. Tribal bigot. Na that tribal bitterness go kill you eventually. U need help. I be yoruba and I'm not tribal bias. Omo eran

I thought the minimum wage agreed upon by the government was N70,000, not N30,000. Is LAWMA (Lagos Waste Management Authority) having its own separate minimum

People working 4hrs per day should be paid the minimum wage. Dumb and zombie wey you be

I can bet a 100k that Abia, infact Aba is cleaner than most of Lagos state and that’s a fact Lagosians who come back to the east attest to. And Aba doesn’t smell too.

If they are employed by government they get full civil service benefits and will be subjected to civil service rules and procedure from point of recruitment. Simple. Don’t tell me they can get benefit but not like others. What does that even mean?
