I bought fuel yesterday in Toronto, Canada, at $1.7999 CAD per litre, and it cost about $98.95 CAD to fill up my tank. This should ideally last me about a week or more.

Now, the minimum wage in Canada is $17.95 CAD per hour, which means someone who works an average of 8 hours a day will earn $143.60 CAD before tax. A day's salary is enough to fuel his or her car for 2–3 weeks. This means that even one of the lowest earners in Canada can afford to own and drive a car daily without the cost of fuel becoming an overwhelming burden. Public education for children is also free and of high quality.

In Nigeria, fuel is about ₦1,300 per litre. It would cost about ₦88,000 to fill up a similar tank. The minimum wage in Nigeria is ₦70,000 per month. This means that an entire month's minimum wage cannot even fill the tank once.

A minimum-wage earner in Nigeria cannot realistically afford to own, fuel, and maintain a car. The same person still has to afford food, rent, children's education, healthcare, electricity, transportation, and other basic necessities. The list goes on.

In fact, even a bank manager in Nigeria earning ₦1 million monthly could still struggle to maintain a decent standard of living after covering these basic expenses.

This is one reason poverty is so widespread in Nigeria. The cost of basic living is simply too high relative to what the average person earns.

You don't just have an income problem in Nigeria. You have an affordability problem.

For millions of Nigerians, simply living a decent life has become too expensive and increasingly impossible.

@egi_nupe But this is where Insurance comes in. That 15k we pay for 3rd party insurance ensures that the insurance company bears the cost of the repairs of the car you scratched. You, however, have to sort yourself and your own car out.

@prosconscl @savage_emmy8 @mayorWande @Dmain_melanin Which is exactly her point though

@Comioflife You are committing a crime (or an offence at the very least), and you still decide to on camera to record it?!?

Do these people think at all?

[Francis Eze @akwukoe]

@amasonic @afalli Still trying to wrap my head over why he’s been in our faces in recent times

[Francis Eze @akwukoe]

@fimiletoks You people post formulated “data” and assume we don’t have brains to think or see what you are doing…
Smh

[Francis Eze @akwukoe]

@UmahOdeh @ChuksEricE People spent the night on the road, and you are mentioning Peter Obi; what does Peter Oni have to do with anything.

You are cursed today, tomorrow and forever.

Fool!

[Francis Eze @akwukoe]

@UmahOdeh @ChuksEricE You are a fool for this comment. You shall die a miserable death, and even the vultures shall reject your your corpse.

You shall beg for bread in this life, and you will receive stones.

[Francis Eze @akwukoe]

@mbasheerjr @ChuksEricE He is addressing what exactly? I spent the night in that traffic; don’t let me pour my frustrations on you, please.

[Francis Eze @akwukoe]

@efosa231 @BBCWorld @LumbaniV Everything to you is political, with your empty head like fish brain… you see KC and immediately assume he is Igbo, not knowing he is your Brother, full name AFOLABI MICHAEL.

Oponu

@UnkleAyo The figures are actually understated.

I spoke to a keke driver in Lagos on Friday and he said they pay 2,700 per day for tickets

@channelstv It takes a lot to be this dumb and stupid, and at the same time, be a government official

@celibz133087 @Jefe_Rossovic @qween_et Is this the glove?

@ChuksEricE See what they are using our military to do

@dammiedammie35 Do these people even understand the optics of these things?

[Francis Eze @akwukoe]

@sirminzy 😂😂😂

[Francis Eze @akwukoe]

@shextian @thecableng The legislators make laws in the budget to take care of themselves, but the judiciary, which is a co-equal arm of government, has to rely on the Executives, for them to be properly taken care of, and you don’t see the issue with that? You are actually senseless.

[Francis Eze @akwukoe]

@agaraladi @thecableng If that is what you understood from what this man said, then You are actually stupid; you just don’t realise it

@Morris_Monye @asemota Someone wants him out of Government
