USA Minimum Wage Vs Nigeria Minimum Wage. by ayobase(m): 8:54pm On Sep 14, 2013 |
The state of California's minimum wage of $10 (N1,500) per hour to start by 2016. It seems it is about $8 (N1,200)at the moment. A US citizen that works 10 hrs daily for 20 days gets approximately N300,000 ($2,000) per month! Nigeria's is N18,500 ($123) per month. Meaning N92 ($0.6) per hour pay. Why won't people wanna run go greener pasture. #Im just saying ni o# http://america.aljazeera.com/articles/2013/9/12/bill-set-to-raisecaliforniaminimumwageto10.html 43 Likes 1 Share |

This's how you send yourselves to the land of suffering. Find out, what kind of life you live in California with $10/hr job. 66 Likes |

ayobase: The state of California's minimum wage of $10 (N1,500) per hour to start by 2016. It seems it is about $8 (N1,200)at the moment. It's easy to state they earn $10/hr but you did not include taxes (SS, State, Federal, and Medicare), the cost of living vs Nigeria are way different. Nigeria has her own problems and while Nigerian wage is low (peanut), Nigeria does have it good to a certain degree. Please don't envy $10/hr, it's NOTHING. 52 Likes 1 Share |

If you are honest with yourself, you would know that one can live on 500naira (about 3 dollars) per day (15000 naira per month) in almost all Nigerian towns. I strongly doubt if one can survive with 3 dollars per day in the most American cities. Not that I'm saying we can't do better but your thread reeks of insincerity. 11 Likes |

Pstsmith: I'm tired of people always comparing us with America...as if that will solve anything...we will get there!! I live in California and trust me when i say you don't want to live for 10/hr here.......California is just too expensive.....to live in a comfortable apartment here, you need to pay about 1200/month and that does not include heat/gas/electricity. California car insurance and fuel is one of the highest in the country. It cost about $4.2 per gallon to fill up your gas tank here, now compare that with Nigeria... California rich vs poor income gap is too wide but mostly because majority of the poor Californians has defaulted to government support.. 18 Likes |
