Minimum wage is not the same as average wage!

CaptainFM1:


Sir/Ma,
I know what minimum and average means. Whatever semantic is used, neither sounds good as far as Nigeria is concerned.

Kharol1234:
You sure about Nigeria figure because some people they collect 10k a month.

datola:
Average salary means it can be higher or lower.

Average salary in Canada is less than $3,000 and you have to pay rent of over $1 000 plus other bills and feeding.

What will now remain

Japa geng over to you.

Nigerians are getting by all the same and are not doing badly

CaptainFM1:


Ofcourse we get by through corrupt practices. Our girls add Olosho as side hussling, an average civil servants demands for bribe to do a simple task, tenants bypasses pre-paid meters to use electricity the list goes on. Corruption and impunity everywhere.

The poorer we are, the less voice the people will have. And that's why there's an astronomical gap between the masses and the political class.

"Keep them poor so that we can continue to be rich and remain in power".

Dotherightthing:


It does not have to be through corrupt practices...I am an example to the glory of God.

CaptainFM1:


You surely would agree that you are not the generality. However, If you do manage to live on 30k per month...I would be happy to know how you're getting by.

30k God forbid! I earn 6 digits my job. And I earn dollars from my side hustle.

By the way, 30k is the basic salary(other allowances come in) of the lower civil servants...the security men, messengers, drivers etc etc

CaptainFM1:


I suppose that explains which spectrum you belong. I do hope you understand the plight of an average Nigerians then. You obviously ain't speaking for them so far. 30k per month is absolutely rubbish. Even at that some states are still owing their workers the 30k that's probably an hourly rate for you. Pause and think how gross it is for the common man.

Dotherightthing:


These common men(driver, security, messenger - level 5 personnel) who earn the 30k basic wage are living in their own houses and sponsoring their children through school.

Stop taking Panadol for another's headache!

Dotherightthing:
Nigeria

The interesting thing about Nigeria's average net salary is that many people earning such can end up accomplishing more in Nigeria than those earning thousands of dollars in other countries.

VeeVeeMyLuv:

Nigerian own brand of corruption is inhumane.

Some persons would argue as they often do that there is corruption in all countries of the world to justify this kind of crude brazen corruption going on in Nigeria.

But Some climes even with corruption take care of their disabled, elderly, even unemployed (that are alleged to be lazy ass), children. These groups are paid wages even with the so-called corruption. Taxes payed by taxpayers are utilised for the right purposes, not diverted into personal pockets

emmaodet:


I think this is common to 3rd world countries.

Salaries are low but people living above income.
I guess corruption is normalized here.
My of my friends in church earning 400k drive brand new cars, I mean brand new jeeps and I earn far far far above them so I wonder where they get this money from.
Even their doings - buying properties, donations in church, you start wondering if you people are in the same country.
EFCC needs to start investigating income earned to life style proportion and over 50% of Nigerian working class would be hauled off to jail.

A lot of that money....not all, but a lot of it...comes from relatives abroad. It's not too hard to figure out.

$5K is high or low depending on the property tax RATE. If you're paying that amount for a house worth $2 million, it's cheap. For a house worth $200K, it's expensive. So what's the RATE.

Income taxes in the USA are very low compared to other industrialized OECD nations, maybe even the lowest. Also depends on where you live - zero state taxes in Tennesse & Florida for sure. For the record I love paying taxes because of the services I get in return, including PROTECTION OF PROPERTY RIGHTS.

Nigerian income is tragic, no other way to describe it. Only 0.4% of Nigerians earn over ₦‎200K per month and that's when they can even get a job.

Show us the way pls

tonicyril:


How, as It stands I still fall short of the average earners...

My net salary is only around 150k a month on average....

EazyMoh:
With electricity and large youth population we should be the hub for the cheapest labor.

Yahoo boys no reach 1% of Nigerian youths.
There are still hardworking young men and women in Nigeria.
We may not even need any foreign investment, if we can produce what we consume we will be fine.

MatrixReloaded:
145$ for Nigeria na lie o. Do the exchange rate e don pass 30k o for civil workers.for where

If your govt don pay nsyc staff's reach 145$ den tell me if nysc no be higher level for person wey graduate put for him kontri.

Karleb:


You are above average.

My retired dad earns 200k/monthly from his teaching job.

tonicyril:
Ahh, he was a top earner during his time na, things are not this cost then...

Tho on average I earned around about 250k a month(together with everything everything) but could u bliv this money is literally enough for expenses alone, if care and frugality is not taken one won't have savings at all...thins are extremely cost...see Baba otisunmi I swear.
