What a relief

You guys will really need to seriously step up, come 28th.

Real Betis doesn't joke around...!

Cedric, Antony and Isco will have fun with Maresca's defense if they don't wake up.

Dantedasz:
Maguire is a better centre forward than Rasmus Hojlund.

Hojlund and Garnacho are the sum total of Amorim and Man United's woes this season.

If United fails to replace both this summer, then relegation might be a certainty next season.

Edoblakky:
You're forgetting that Chelsea can disappoint on a day you least expect

Well, they haven't lost at home to United in a long while...!

If nothing else, history is on their side.

Edoblakky:
Man u lineup shows they value this match as much as Europa final. They're not resting any player at all. It will be a tough match for Chelsea who are obviously under pressure

Chelsea will still win... Even with a complete team, United players are mentally done with EPL.

helinues:
Only if it won't be a boring game

But wait oo, Man UTD received back to back to front in EPL lately

Players, Coach and Staff don comot hand from EPL since they crossed into Europa Semi-finals.

Amorim actually hinted resting more players tonight...!

I expect Chelsea and Villa to win tonight.

Besides, Chelsea and Villa have a lot at stake compared to the Europa finalists... The latter have absolutely nothing left to prove in the EPL.

The season is over for them.

This coach don already dey step on toes...!

Lol... Is this current Nigerian Leadership the best or worst administration ever?!!

Poor leadership affects everything, and every sector.

Mariangeles:
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Don't worry. I'm still doing my research.🤣
I'll come up with something soon.

I trust you, Mama!

The Sapalized citizens of this 3rd world nation are depending on your wisdom.

Everybody must cope by fire by force... South must stand on the mandate!

fineboynl:
I was just wondering if Nigerians are still eating pounded yam?

The price of yam will just weak you.

Normal size 9k-10k i just weak.

Relax... Mariangeles is coming to show us the alternatives to Yam, Plantains, Potatoes, Garri, Soup, Palm Oil, and living in Nigeria.

I believe there are more threads about "survival tactics" in today's Nigeria.

That's the main job of the Minister of National Orientation.

Other teams don collect their free 3 points from Man United...!

Chelsea should not slack... Tonight is their turn to collect their own awoof 3 points.

The worst and most ill-trained Police Force in the universe...!


...And you wonder why the nation is this insecure.


How can criminals eradicate criminals?!!

Can the blind lead the blind?!!

Dogalmighty17:
Let an independent review of her performance be carried out. The school should not give room to anything that may make it appear as if she was failed deliberately.

Too late...!

This is what happens in this day and age of social media.

Always on paper...!

How can leaders do so much, yet over 200 Million citizens can't bear witness or testify to these "achievements".

lexy2014:
if you have eternity in your hands, you can "look forward" to when Presidents will show their scorecards with visible results cos its going to be a long wait.

if not, you should look forward to other things that are more certain

Damn... It's just a pity!

Well, two years and nothing but speculations...!

I look forward to when Presidents will show their scorecards with visible results, rather than campaign promises and wishful thoughts.

These football stars are dull sha...!

Well, being in the spotlight doesn't equate to being sensible.

If found guilty, he should face the music...! No one is above the law in working countries.

Sigh... This id1ot again!

Money and Intelligence don't always go hand in glove.

Trymeee:
Good one. Let's be practical, how much was your rent, water bill, gas bill, tax etc when you were abroad. And how much was your earnings per hour. Before then were you a low income me earner, intermediate or high. Now if you fall at the low, answer the above question I sent with all humility.



Btw, even Ghana is abroad. I should have been specific in my question.

I already answered your question earlier with my submission that you quoted.

That's a firsthand experience working in-between studies in Canada.

That's just the barest minimum too.

The minimum wage abroad is designed in a way to cater for anyone's housing and feeding at least.

Gas, electricity, and water bills are not expensive except you are wasteful and unwise... Some households don't even consume more than 60 Dollars for water and electricity monthly.

Only two things take up one's expenses: Accommodation and Taxes.

Food is practically affordable in Canada and most nations since they don't import food.

This is not the same in Nigeria... No amount of justification and arguments can help your denial here.

Trymeee:
Which country do you reside before I speak on this.

Nigeria... I have had the privilege of living and working abroad.

Libya died the very day America and the West helped assassinate Gaddafi.

The nation will never recover... Never!

If nor be say this guy get serious men on social media following him ehn... Una for don Kpai am since!

Trymeee:
Nigerians and half baked stories. How much Tax is required in the above countries, how much is rent, miscellaneous bills etc.



Nigerians will hear a man is making 3000 dollars per month in diaspora and next thing they will start telling you how much millions it is in naira. They forget this amount don't have values over there and after bills are paid, peanuts are left. Result of inflation sha.

An average minimum wage earner who lives within his means is not left empty-handed after taxes and bills...!

He has enough to live comfortably except he chooses to bite more than his mouth can chew.


How many minimum wage earners in Nigeria can say the same?!!

stanluiz:
Any country that joke or play with their health, education and security is a failed nation.

If your health, education and security are under equipped, under paid, under staff, your country is a failed nation.

This is what is happening to Nigeria. How can politicians be earning both in salary and bonus more than doctors, nurses, teachers, policemen and soldiers ? It is insane and madness!! Nigeria politician salary is one of the highest in the world. No wonder, Nigeria is the poverty capital of the world.

The money that is supposed to used to in development of human development is used to pay politicians and salary. No wonder politics is now a career and do or die affair in Nigeria.

Such country won't progress until the right thing is done.

Thank you! Nothing more to add.

I don't get what these people are defending all over the place.

Kaiser20:
No mind dem, they are very good at converting Euro, Dollar and Pounds, to Naira,, but very poor in converting your Rent and utility bills

Okay, let's do a simple comparison, then.

A minimum wage earner in Canada earns 18 Dollars per hour, which translates to about 2800 Dollars a month (40 hrs per week minimum).

Rent: 1500
Feeding: 300
Tax: 300
Utilities: 100
Transport: 150
He is left with: 250 - 400 (he can save or flex)

That's just from one job... He can earn more from a second job or side hustle.


Now, let's compare with a minimum wage earner in your beloved nation:

Salary per month: 70,000 Naira (if he is lucky)
Rent: 25,000 per month (paid yearly of course)
Feeding: 30,000 (at 1k per day)
Tax: 2,500
Utilities: 10,000 (mostly Light bills)
Transport: 15,000 (Let's assume his commute isn't far)
He is left with: -3000 deficit which will likely be borrowed money or urgent 2k from family and friends.

Side hustle or second job is highly and clearly unlikely.



Conclusion:

Forget comparison of Currency values! An average Nigerian worker is grossly and unacceptably UNDERPAID.

uvie66:
..... what proper context, do we spend dollars, I recently engaged the services of a carpenter, and he charged me #5k. Please compare like with like.

Read again... And show me where I demanded that we pay them in Dollars.

Don't you know the meaning of the term "Comparative"?!!

Let me help you...!

How much does a Senator in the United States earn compared to a Medical Doctor there?!!

What is the standard of living of a minimum wage earner in Canada, U.S and Australia compared to one in Nigeria?!!


Talking about craftsmen, whatever your carpenter charges you is what he is worth as a craftsman...!

Are we paying our workers especially Healthcare workers what they are worth in terms of risks, mental commitments, etc,?!!

While at it, compare how we remunerate our Senators and how senators are paid in U.S too., and tell me if it's the same with other workers in Nigeria.


So, what like with what like are you asking me to compare?!!

MonthlySalary:
Africa is a 3rd world country both in economy and technology... The countries you listed up are in the 1st world.

You can't expect to earn like those in first world countries when your expertise is not up to their own experience. Let's be realistic

Stop this please...!

There are other 3rd world nations treating their healthcare professionals better than we do.

No serious person can demand for the same things as those nations abroad, but the little we have here, what have we done with them?!!


How can Health workers and Military officers be earning far less than Lawmakers who barely do anything meaningful throughout the year?!!

franchasng:
United States of America, always the number 1

That's the commercial capital of the universe...!

Not surprised.

Countries that understand and value healthcare don't joke with the remuneration of their healthcare workers.

There are nations where no politician or elected official can boast about being better paid than an average health worker... No way!!!


While a certain nation demands more from their doctors while paying them 3 times less than Lawmakers and Commissioners: people who practically do next to nothing in all year round.


Some of una never ready sha...!

2mch:
Soo dull. How about you also put the cost of their living expenses. You are comparing yourself to them. Do you spend in pounds? Why should they be paid in naira or equivalent to their peers in naira when they live in a more expensive society?

You are actually the dull one...!

Comparatively, Naira value and cost of living expenses placed in view, Nigerian workers are among the most underpaid in the universe.

A minimum wage earner abroad can comfortably feed and accommodate himself, can the same be said for a minimum wage earner in Nigeria?!!

Counselor don go carry client wey big pass him destiny...!

God forbid make we collect bullet by proxy or by association.

Love800:
Which one be low blood pressure again?

Low blood pressure is also termed Hypotension.

That's when the blood pressure drops below the normal range.

That can happen when the body's blood volume drops massively due to blood loss like bleeding from deep cuts, accidents, heavy menstrual flow, etc.

In such cases, the organs and tissues that receive blood and oxygen become starved of nutrients and begin to pack up... This can lead to shock and fainting, even coma.

People who are anaemic or have low iron can also suffer this.

Father4all:
Nigeria Doctors are too narrow minded. They are still the highest paying Civil Servant in Nigeria. The Armed Forces are the most risky work in Nigeria yet they earn meager salaries

So, what's stopping the armed forces from demanding better pay as their counterparts abroad?!!

What is narrow-minded about demanding good pay and better working conditions?!!
