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.
My landlord refused to open the gate for a tenant rushing to a job interview at 6am.
His reason?
"Gate opens by 7am."
The tenant begged. My landlord didn't budge.
So the tenant broke the padlock and left for his interview.
That evening, my landlord returned with police officers to arrest him.
The police asked neighbours:
"Did the tenant sleep here last night?"
"No."
"Then who broke the padlock?"
Everyone pointed at my landlord's son.
The officers turned to my landlord:
"Sir, this isn't the story you told us."
Before they left, my landlord paid ₦100,000 for wasting their time.
Aproko Doctor’s wife, Chef Amaka said she doesn’t know where we got the perception that swallow is not good for our health.
@chef_amakaa please swear you don’t know where the perception came from🫠
My CEO asked if I wanted to see the dome in Abuja at night. I said, no thank you. They had just paid salary but they didn't pay everything. As he was leaving, he told me accounts had something for me. I went to accounts, they gave me my balance and asked "why are you leaving us?"
A guy followed a woman i know home at night. She didn’t run. She didn’t yell. She laughed at his jokes. Complimented his shoes and even pretended she was flattered by the attention. She gave him her number just to make it home alive.
Blocked it the second her door locked behind her.
Men call this “leading someone on.”
Women call it survival. Men will never fully grasp the calculations women make in real time just to actually stay alive.
I used to pray to get even if it’s 300k job to be managing or even 250k wfh job to be doing.
But look at today, I am reposting this for others to try.
Jesus IGWE.
Underrated life advice: Have more hobbies and fewer opinions. Learn an instrument. Plant a garden. Build something with your hands. Cook. Paint. Run. The happiest people I know spend less time debating life and more time actually living it.
I had such a good day???😭😭❤️ when I was filling up my tank in the morning, I bumped into a former petrol attendant at my regular garage and he was so excited to show me his new car🥺❤️ he also got a job in his field of study! AND a student that doesn’t take my class asked to sit in, and after the 2 hour lesson, he gave me a bar of Dubai chocolate 🤣🤣❤️
