Today I decided to show how much it costs me to buy my weekly fruits. I love eating fruit and trying to live healthy⦠but thatās by the way. The real story is the cost.
My fruit shopping came to Ā£50.87. If you convert that to naira, thatās roughly ā¦94,000.
Now, if I wanted to gaslight Nigerians, I could easily say something like: āNigerians donāt appreciate what they have. This same fruit would cost less than ā¦20k in Nigeria.ā That would give the impression that food is cheaper in Nigeria than in the UK.
But that would be a half truth, or what some people like to call being smart by half.
Hereās the part people conveniently leave out.
The minimum wage in the UK is about £12.44 per hour. That means someone earning minimum wage needs less than 5 hours of work to afford that £50 fruit basket.
And before someone says it, yes, if youāre on minimum wage here youāre probably shopping in Lidl or Aldi, not casually loading Ā£50 worth of fruit into your trolley like a wellness influencer. But thatās beside the point.
Now letās look at Nigeria.
Letās assume that same fruit basket really costs ā¦20,000. Sounds cheap, right?
Nigeriaās minimum wage is ā¦70,000 per month. That translates to roughly ā¦337 per hour.
So to buy that same ā¦20k fruit basket, a minimum wage worker would need to work almost 60 hours. Thatās about 6½ full working days.
Think about that for a moment.
Someone in the UK doing the same type of low income job works about 5 hours to buy it. Someone in Nigeria may need almost a full week of work.
So when people start comparing prices to gaslight you and say petrol is $4 in the US or fuel is £1.80 in the UK, ask them one simple question.
How does that compare to peopleās income?
Because price without income context is just propaganda with numbers.
Now letās take it one step further.
In the UK, the minimum wage is about £12.44 per hour and the Prime Minister earns around £83 per hour. That is roughly a £70 difference per hour.
In Nigeria, the minimum wage is about ā¦337 per hour and the President earns about ā¦6,770 per hour before allowances.
That is a difference of about ā¦6,433 per hour.
In percentage terms, the UK Prime Minister earns about 577% more per hour than minimum wage.
Nigeriaās President earns about 1,570% more per hour than minimum wage.
And that is before we even talk about the endless allowances, benefits, convoys, security votes, and other mysterious expenses that seem to multiply like rabbits.
So the question is not whether things are cheap or expensive.
The real question is how long the average citizen has to work to afford them.
Because when people must work days for what others can buy in hours, something deeper is wrong.
Iāll leave you with this.
