AS things stand, one is free to quote the great Shakespeare: "Doubtful it stood like two spent swimmers...". That is what the nation state has come to.

The social contract between the governors and the governed is on tenterhooks. Is it not scandalous that barely over two years into the administration of President Goodluck Ebelewane Jonathan that the nation has come to a near grinding halt!

Workers have been threatening (and are still threatening) to go on strike; mainly as a result of the governors reneging on their agreement of the N18,000 minimum wage.

The workers threat was a wake-up call and out of the blues the governors decided to swim to the safety of "strike avoidance" by agreeing to pay the minimum wage. Translation= the minimum wage for a Nigerian worker equates to just over a $100 amonth and shamelessly this was a topic for discussion and disagreement by state governors.
