adecz:Wage is a function of output. Is the output of the worker $100 today? In US GDP per capita is $70k, minimum wage is $15k. In UK it os $40k GDP/ capita minimum wage $15K. In a country like Nigeria where GDP per capita is $2k what should a minimum wage earner collect, you want him to earn more than his output? |
helinues:The other day I went to the shops to buy sniper they said N10,000…something I used to buy for N1,500 and 750 for the small one. There is nothing in the Naira fall or petrol increase that warrants such exploitation. Labour has not gone up x6, Naira has not fallen x6, petrol has not gone up x6, if anything diesel has fallen. I refused to buy o and I refuse to buy products at exploitative prices. Let them keep them in their warehouses when they are ready they will bring down prices if not they can keep their products. There are certain price increases I can understand and are justified but there are many that are just exploitation. |
Redoil:I told you I read about it. It is not all universities from those countries. You were talking as if it was all universities from those countries….It isn’t. Your statement that it was all universities in Uganda and 95% in east Africa is false and clearly you know as you have now deleted the post. |
Redoil:I heard about that but did that extend to all universities in Uganda for instance? University of Makerere is older than UI and ranked higher. |
Ance4Liverpool:You have simple minds so you don’t understand the game. The more they feed his ego and his delusions, the more he is encouraged that he is popular and can win, the more he feels he is too popular to step down for Atiku. Obi is not the target, Atiku is….similar strategy as 2023. Obi can’t win a presidential election in Nigeria. His role is that if a spoiler whether he and his supporters realize it or not and the job of APC is to make sure he remains a spoiler. |
Redoil:How? Why? |
NLC are comedians. I repeat the GDP per capita (the economic value of output ) of the average worker in Nigeria is N3m a year or N250k a month. This is the average worker not the lowest worker. Therefore the monthly economic output of a minimum wage worker is closer to N80k possibly even 40k. You cannot expect to be paid beyond your economic output. I repeat we are a very inefficient economy with unproductive workers. If it takes 5 people to do the work that ordinarily 1 person should do, then the 5 will share the wages of 1 person. This is how economics works. |
dominique:Why do you care about the British media? Has it just occurred to you they don’t like you? Is it today you are just discovering everything about the British is hypocrisy? You think they ended slave trade because they love blacks or found God? No they ended slave trade because they invented machines that could the work of slaves but they will tell you otherwise. They shout corruption corruption, where does all the worlds corrupt money go? Slave mentality, inferiority complex is why you care what the British think, it is why you fall over yourselves over Harry and Meghan, it is the same slave mentality why you give yourselves English names and speak in fake foreign accents. Try all you can to be like hem, they will always look down on you. So get a life a have some self respect. Why do you care about their hypocrisy, why are you bothered about what they think of you? If you care about their hypocrisy it is because deep down you desire their acceptance and validation. And no ( in reference to your original post) they will not sing praises about Nigeria if King Charles visits. You clearly do t know the British. |
dominique:You are the ones who are nauseating for falling over yourselves with low self esteem and colo Mentality over the visit of a disgraced outcast Royal and his b grade celebrity wife. Now you’ve all gotten what you deserved. |
Kukutente23:It’s like a lecturer giving an example in class using widgets. I have said it many times….You are clearly brain dead. It was a hypothetical example to illustrate inefficiency. If 10 people are doing the work of 1 person the value or market price of their output does not increase because there are 10 workers. The market does not care! The guy who does the job alone will determine the market price and that will be the benchmark. This is why Nigerian products are not competitive internationally. If you like use 100 man hours to build a car, the price you will get for the car is set by the company who builds a similar car in 20 man hours. The value of Labour output in both factories is the same so the wage for the worker in factory A has to be 5 times less than the wage for the worker in factory B. If your price is any higher because you Labour costs are higher, your cars will be expensive, nobody will buy your cars and you will go out of business. If you like employ 100 people to extract a barrel of oil when your competitors are employing 20 or 10. The price of your crude is the same in the market. So your workers will have to be paid less to remain in business. This is the productivity problem of the Nigerian worker. The market doesn’t care what the price of peak milk is or whether you can feed yourself on your salary. The supermarket worker would earn more if they didn’t have to employ someone just to tear receipts as if Nigeria is the only place there are supermarket thieves. You go to a Nigerian supermarket and you see idle staff chocking the aisles doing nothing to the point of disturbing the flow of shoppers, each of them is the reason they all collectively earn little. In a supermarket abroad where staff are paid better you do t see all this nonsense you see with Nigerian workers like singing playing music and dancing on duty. The Nigerian worker adds little value and that is why he is paid peanuts. If you don’t get that it shows (once again) you really are daft. |
Vadese1:The questions many of you should ask but are not asking is what is the output of a minim wage worker if the average Output of the Nigerian worker is N250k a month? Why is the productivity of the Nigerian worker so low? The answer is you have 4,5,6,7 people doing the job of 1 person therefore sharing the salary of 1 person. The reason is the average Nigerian worker has no economic skills, that is why you will employ someone in a supermarket just to sit down at the exit and tear customers receipts. Same thing you have govt refinery workers collecting salaries for decades and refining nothing. Yet the workers in DPR for instance who actually work cannot get a hiflgher wage because they money is spent on salaries for idle refinery workers. If govt says we want to sack refinery workers because they have no output, it is the same workers that will say no and go on strike. You have 2 identical farms both produce 10 tones of maize worth 10m, one has 1 farmer the other has 10 farmers. Clearly 1 farmer is capable of farming that farm on his own but because 10 farmers decide to farm the same size farm. The farmer in farm A will go home with 10m while the farmers in farm B will go home with 1m each. This thing is not rocket science. |
ebukajay184:Clearly peak mild is not for minimum wage earners. What makes a minimum wage earner feel he is entitled to peak milk? I repeat the GDP per capita of the average worker in Nigeria is N3m a year or N250k a month. Therefore the monthly economic output of a minimum wage worker is closer to N80k. If your economic output is 80k a month what gives you the audacity to think you are entitled to consume milk of N64k? From his labour a man shall eat. You cannot eat more than your output. GDP $400B. Population 200m GDP per capita $2000 or N3M or N250k a month. This is the average worker. A minimum wage worker outputs much less than N250k a month so why should he earn anything close to that? |
Metordman:We received more abuse than this in the run up to the 2023 elections…..we were right you were wrong. I am happy to continue receiving abuses and I am happy to continue to tell you why you will lose….why am I happy? Because I know so long as you are dwelling in insults and abuse you will never put on your thinking caps just as no matter how many times we tell you the secret to victory, your ego will never let you pause to think and follow the path to victory. You are like a daft student who has been given the answers to the exam questions but you know he will always fail because he will always instead insult the person who gave him the answers and fight the teacher for setting hard questions and will never look at the answers that are right in front of him. That is the DNA of the IPOB. That is why they fail in anything they do. Presidency fail, Biafra fail! |
Lunaloopies:Yes! You are a Nigerian you graduated below 30 yrs. NYSC is mandatory so long as you are a Nigerian and you have a degree. Where you were born or where you obtained your degree is irrelevant. Normally as a graduate, one would expect you have been equipped with the intelligence and initiative to just look up the NYSC act online and read it particularly as we are constantly told you are the digital generation….but hey what do I know? University Education clearly is not what it used to be. https://www.nysc.gov.ng/downloads/nysc-decree.php |
Amumaigwe:IPOb talking about brains…irony and audacity! The reason why you people always fail politically is because you generally lack emotional intelligence and are very poor in human relations. You generally tend to think of yourselves only and expect others must align with your thoughts and generally you are always too arrogant to try and put yourselves in the heads of your adversaries or co-travellers. If you did you would understand why after 64 years you have never produced a president. You will understand why it is not in the interest of a northern governor who want to be president to back Atiku. As for your hero Obi there is no scenario where he becomes president of Nigeria in this life or the next. If you want an ibo president start to prepare someone like Chidoka for the battle against Umahi in 2039 ( who is clearly being groomed) otherwise the SS will take your slot. |
Metordman:O e can always spot an IPOB from his posts. He posts with his emotions and not his brains, he expects everyone must think the way he thinks and agreee with him. He talks about collective when it suits him and then secession when it doesn’t. Let me tell you something…the north are strategic when it comes to politics unlike you. They are not voting for Atiku or Obi, they will wait so one of them will have an uncontested 8 year run as president and they will back the person who beat ensures that and right now it is Tinubu. The northern governors who made Tinubu president did not make him president necessarily out of any love for him but out of strategic political self interest. If Lawan who was the presidents choice had his way that was the end of their ambitions. So it made sense to stop Lawan, gain the support of the SW and wait till 2031. Similarly Northern PDP governors will openly back TInubu in 2027….just watch! They certainly will not back Atiku. You can see it already in their body language since Tinubu became president. I have stated it before that the only way the opposition can win an election is to prepare a different candidate. The majority of Northern governors are not going to work for Atiku because all politics is about interest and it is not in the interests of those with ambitions to be president someday to back Atiku. Atiku and Obi will never be president of Nigeria…know this and know peace. casualobserver: |
Hueyreckless0007:Buhari was re-elected despite the hardship of 2019. You don’t just say because the incumbent is doing a bad job (in your opinion) therefore your victory is assured. APC had no business winning 2023 ….but they won! If the opposition 1) keep fielding unelectable candidates and 2) cannot contain their ego and keep acting without strategy, they will lose in 2027 no matter how tough things are under Tinubu. Let me state it clearly obi and Atiku cannot win in 2027. Obi is unelectable and Atiku has missed his chance. Obi commited political suicide by leaving PDP. Already the north/south factor does not favour the opposition for 2027. They know Atiku cannot do 2 terms and they want their 8 yrs when it is their turn. They would rather Tinubu finishes his 2 terms so that when one of them becomes president he has 8 uncontested years. Think about it. You are a northern governor (irrespective of party), why would you support Atiku to take away your ambition when if you wait 4 years you could be president? Who are the people that control delegates again? Exactly the governors! Better understand that Northern governors of both PDP and APc will support Tinubu in 2027 because it is not in their interest for Atiku to be president. |

Kukutente23:My friend I did not read your nonsense. You jumped uninvited into a conversation with someone else by telling me Meghan was the one who claimed she was Nigerian. Whereas I never said she wasn’t the one who claimed Nigerian. In fact I said in a prior post that she did claim to be Nigerian. So what was the relevance of your post? What I said was Yorubas and Ibos were falling over themselves claiming her for their tribe and hat is an act of low self esteem. Do you understand the difference between tribe and Country? The foolishness is on your part. Read and comprehend before you post, go back to the history of the conversation especially when the interaction you are responding to is not between you and the author. Don’t just jump in conversations like a m0r0n!

BigDawsNet:University education is a privilege not a right. Your right is universal basic education…primary and secondary. If 500k is too much for them, then then don’t deserve good university education, that’s why they go to university and join cults. If you or your parents borrowed or saved to send you to university you will face your studies. If it is money to buy iPhone they will find the money. |
BigDawsNet:They tell you quality education costs money, let’s increase fees so that rich and ooor can attend good Nigerian universities but you insist you must pay 60k for university education. They know N60k cannot they pay for good education so they give you the 60k degrees you asked for and send their kids abroad. Their kids come back and get the good jobs, you japa with your 60k degree to clean toilets and old women’s excrement. You get what you pay for. |
HenryWilliams: BlackSpanner:FAO: the above and other brain dead https://www.nairaland.com/7458314/tinubu-hosted-chicago-state-university |
These are the proper Harvard graduates with degrees (el Rufai has an m.sc from Harvard). Not that fraud Obi who went on 1 week training course and is claiming Harvard alumni up and down. Fact check me, Obi is not a member of havard alumni. |
ekineme:Allow Atiku to use your heads. Atiku is saying that because he knows Obi can never win the ticket. Is it not the same PDP members that will form the proposed MEga party? Is it not the same Atiku that will control the delegates at the convention? Is that not the same reason Obi left PDP? By saying he will support Obi if he wins, he is laying the ground to say he expects Obi to support him. You guys are such simpletons. Atiku did not come this far, contesting for presidency since 1992 to support the man who denied him his golden moment in 2023. |
Goodlady:You are clearly very ignorant. Harry is not a future KIng. He could only become King if William died without children. The minute William had a child that was the end of any hopes. William has 3 children, all of them are above Harry in the pecking order and their children will be above Harry. Just like King Charle’s siblings, Edward, Andrew and Ann, the path to the throne was shut the day William was born. All this was even before his estrangement from the royal family. Harry has been stripped of even security. If he wants security in the UK he has to pay for it himself. Or you don’t know he has officially been stripped of most of his Royal privileges? The only thing he has left is the right to call himself prince aand his royal highness. You are welcoming an outcast as a celebrity! On this same trip his father King Charles refused to dignify him by seeing him. As for your other nonsense, I am neither a Muslim nor a northerner. I am just acknowledging that (at least in matter like this) Northerners behave with more self respect and dignity.

Elsueno:Did I say chase them away? Did I say don’t receive guests? No. But when you start falling over yourselves, giving them attention unbefitting of their status, that’s where the issue is. That’s when you show your lack of self respect, your inferiority complex and you slave/ colonial mindset. These are people who have been stripped of their status is their home country, these are people who are pariahs in the country that gave them the status you bow to. To such an extent she couldn’t step out of the airport during her stop-over to Nigeria. A so called royal hiding in the airport lounge is whom you give celebrity status in Nigeria? Don’t get me wrong, I can’t stand the British ( I lived amongst them for decades) so he vile stuff in their press is not new to me but we ourselves must learn to act with dignity and self respect as a people. They have no regard for us, see us as a sub-specie so why put them on a pedestal or justify their contempt for us by acting in a manner that justifies the contempt? |
Kukutente23:You really are daft…no surprise as you have history of daft commentary. Learn to read properly. Meghan claimed she has Nigerian DNA. Ibos and some yorubas started fighting over whether she is Ibo or Yoruba. Improve your English comprehension, nowhere did I say Nigerians were claiming she is Nigerian, I specifically said in my post that Meghan claimed to be a Nigerian. |
Noblemanonpoint:Onyema’s issues is not news. Even on Nairaland there are threads upon threads about it. |
Elsueno:Keep making excuses for your low self esteem and lack of self worth. They came to use your wounded soldiers to get some publicity for. their damaged brand. They used you and because you lack self dignity you fell for it. They went to a country of people with low self worth because they are damaged goods in their usual hunting grounds. Why didn’t they come to visit you when they were still darlings of the British media, why didn’t they come when they were still full members of the royal family? Do you think it is today Meghan suddenly discovered she has Nigerian blood? You think she didn’t know when she was getting married to Harry? Why didn’t she tell the world then? |
Goodlady:Show me where a northerner tried to claim Meghan is Hausa or Fulani? It is always southerners specifically Ibos (always) and daft Yorubas who engage them in their nonsense that engage in such low self esteem foolishness. |
Papayaayasager:Nigeria is a predominantly Muslim country. They marry more women and have more children. We Christian’s marry 1 wife and most have 1 or 2 children. Many of our women remain single and childless for life. If it isnt now it will be. So if you like continue to say Christianity prohibits polygamy….it does not. |
Goodlady:Are we not the ones always insulting ourselves with our inferiority complex falling over ourselves to welcome disgraced Royal and his B-list actress wife, falling over ourselves to claim her as yoruba or Ibo? This is why I like the Northerners…they have self respect and dignity. |

They were guest who came to visit you & even visit our wonded soldiers. it doesn’t matter if they are 'disgraced' somewhere else, cause thier 'graced' brethren haven't even offered us same level of respect. We shouldn't give a shyt about anything else but the attitude guest showed us.
