Nigerian Governors Are Wicked, Ungodly and Inconsiderate

What is the problem with these wicked and ungodly governors who are still owing us our salaries almost a year we voted out President Goodluck Jonathan as they wished. Are they saying the absence of Jonathan and the presence of Buhari in the villa will not translate to the payment of our wages.President Buhari gave them a bailout but most of them, if not all, used it for selfish things, all because they are in their second term. 

 

In Osun state, Aregbesoal govt pays 50% of our salaries  and still owing some months while in Kwara state, Abdulfatai govt has just paid 90% of October salaries. God will judge them. Yet they all found money for the last election. I wish the EFCC can have courage to probe what these wicked people are doing with our money. I know it is ungodly because the glorious Koran and Hadith speak against it.

It is not permissible to delay payment of salaries to employees beyond the time when they are due, which is when the work is completed or at the end of the agreed-upon period. If the agreement is that the salary be paid monthly, then it must be paid to the worker at the end of each month; delaying it with no excuse is regarded as unfair and unjust. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Then if they give suck to the children for you, give them their due payment”

[al-Talaaq 65:6]

So Allaah commanded that they be given their payment as soon as the work is done.

Ibn Maajah (2443) narrated that ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Give the worker his wages before his sweat dries.” Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Ibn Maajah.

What this means to hastening to give him his dues as soon as the work is done. Similarly, when the agreed-upon period ends (which is one month in the case of most employees nowadays), then it is obligatory to hasten to give him his dues.

Al-Manaawi said in Fayd al-Qadeer:

It is haraam to delay and postpone when one is able to pay. The command to give it to him before his sweat dries is a metaphor for the obligation to pay him as soon as the job is done, even if he does not sweat, or if he sweated and it has dried.

I am sure the Bible says similar things.
