In some places you have to lead, other places you support, and in some places you have to follow. Knowing when and where to play your role will save you from bad thoughts, envy and misplaced hatred.
President Tinubu said he intervened and Nigeria didn't suffer the impact of fuel increase from the US-IRAN war like other African countries like Kenya.
Is that true? Let's fact check him.
Kenya
Price of PMS in Kenya before the war - N1,970 per litre.
Price of PMS in Kenya after the ceasefire - N1,980.
Just 0.28% increase in PMS.
Nigeria
Price of PMS before the US-IRAN war - N850.
Price of PMS after the ceasefire - N1,350.
That is a whooping 58% increase.
Kenya had only 0.28% increase as a result of the war, while Nigeria recorded 58% increase as a result of the war.
Now, let's look at the minimum wage also.
The current minimum wage in Kenya is N177,000.
That means the minimum wage in Kenya can afford 89 liters of PMS in Kenya.
Meanwhile, the minimum wage in Nigeria is N70,000.
That means the minimum wage in Nigeria can only afford 51 liters of PMS.
So, how president Tinubu arrive at that conclusion??? 🤔🤔
