Fuel is cheaper in Nigeria compared to overseas according to these incompetent leaders, they often compare prices, but not the currency values and minimum wages of both countries.
The Edo State governor says a litre of fuel costs over N3,000 in the UK stating that we are enjoying here, but has Monday Okpebholo taken into account the devaluation of naira?
UK's minimum wage is reportedly £12.71 per hour for anyone 21 and above, the working time in the UK is about 35 to 40 hours weekly, that is, 8 hours daily 5 times a week. And workers earn about "£2,203". Emphasis on weekly. Nigeria's full-time minimum wage is less than $50 per month, N77,000 to be precise.
Now compare a possible £2,203 weekly to $50 monthly.
You see how disgracefu' these leaders are. "We are enjoying here" with $50. Can any of them survive with that money? As a matter fact, do they pay for fuel themselves? Irritat'ng statement.
