Nigeria's minimum wage is ₦70,000 a MONTH.
The UK's minimum wage is £12.71 an HOUR.
A British worker on minimum wage earns about £2,200 a month working full-time. That's roughly ₦4.7 million at current exchange rates. Meanwhile, a Nigerian worker earns ₦70,000 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 “coastal road” because “flight is expensive”
I hate it here.
One of the strangest things about being a young professional in Nigeria is having a job, dressing well, leaving home every morning and still calculating whether you can afford chicken.
Kevin Prince #Boateng: “La mia relazione con Melissa Satta era una vera follia. Facevamo l'amore almeno 7-8 volte a settimana e non lasciavo riposare il mio corpo. Quando scendevo in campo, le gambe non avevano più forza. Avevo messo il calcio, i soldi, tutto in secondo piano. Quando stai con una donna famosa e bella, a volte dimentichi di essere un atleta professionista. Mentre il Milan si aspettava da me dei titoli, io stavo consumando le mie energie in camera da letto…”
If I wanted to maintain my current standard of living, but in Nigeria, it would cost too much to be realistic.
Nigerian prices are way too expensive in USD terms despite having such a devalued currency, and I don't understand how everyone is quiet.
That country is stupidly expensive for no reason at all🤷🏾
