This sentence by Van Gogh hits hard:
โIf I am worth anything later, I am worth something now. For wheat is wheat, even if people think it is a grass in the beginning.โ
Nigeria's minimum wage is โฆ70,000 a MONTH.
The UK's minimum wage is ยฃ12.71 an HOUR.
A British worker on minimum wage earns about ยฃ2,200 a month working full-time. That's roughly โฆ4.7 million at current exchange rates. Meanwhile, a Nigerian worker earns โฆ70,000 for the entire month.
What's even more insulting is that some groceries are cheaper in the UK than in Nigeria. Milk, apples, potatoes and other basics often cost less there despite their workers earning hundreds of times more.
We earn like ants and spend like elephants.
The cruelty isn't just the poverty. It's that our leaders watch millions struggle to survive and act as if this is normal. Remi Tinubu thinks her husband is doing us a favour by building โcoastal roadโ because โflight is expensiveโ
I hate it here.
