Why are you quarter cleaver too by omitting if it per day or monthly to make justification for your propaganda.

I now ask how much is minimum wage per day in Nigeria compared to what a barber charges on an hair cuts

Below is the screenshot of your first engagement with me today on the UK guy.

Now on this thread, not that I mentioned you, you came by yourself, you pointed out some things which I argued in line.

Now do simple thing I asked you do to before asking me any question. I asked you questions first.

I am sure you must have googled the price of barbing in Ghana and see the point I am driving at, but because it will contradict all what your arguments have been about since, you just can't post the screenshot

I have assisted you with the screenshot you are shying from posting

Isn't it obvious that you are the one putting mouth on something you have little information about

Kaycee54321:
I like that we both have time to burn today, although, my patience is fast running out.

I tried not to compare Euros in

Can you see you didn't even comprehend what you responded to.

People avoid engaging with my because I know how to relegate people. I don't shift from the conversation hence telling you you didn't know what you are saying initially

Now rest as it's being confirmed that your arguments are blindly

Islie:
Why make a creat a thread to make us believe that Ghanaian minimum wage is 21GHC which I quoted you before you went back to amend your post

I dare you to show where I made it 21ghc per month. I didn't add day or month

Btw, why are you being quarter clever in doing my simple request

Kaycee54321:
Let's try this again:

In the UK, say, 700 pounds per month for a decent apartment (in Leeds for instance which is up North in the UK) takes 32% of rent. And you get to pay monthly.
Since we're talking just rent, I wouldn't go into details of how feeding, transportation, tax, utility, etc, plays a role in why said nurse can still save 200 pounds...

For Nigeria, I won't be mischievous to do a one-to-one geo mapping by comparing Leeds in the North to Kaduna in Nigeria (where nurses can earn 75k with abeg)...no, I'll do a Lagos to Leeds mapping;

Assume a 250k "plum" nursing job in a Reddington hospital where celebrities come to get treated:
Let's limit to rent;
You will pay 1m yearly rent and total package up to 1.8m for a tiny room in Somolu. And you will pay it yearly. You'll have to beg so they don't ask for a year and six months up front.
I won't go into the fact that you will need to buy foam that you'll spread on the ground and some very small utensils to get your life started... unlike in the UK, where you don't start calling carpenter to take measurements for your wardrobe because you rented.

So you may need nearly 2.5m before you can rent a room in Somolu (I'm sure you know where this is)... meaning you don't get to touch your salary for 10 months before you can get your own small room, with foam on the floor in an environment littered with smoking agberos.

As a nurse with the responsibility of saving lives.

Helinues, does this give you a better perspective? - I see you live abroad.

Would you rather live it, to believe it, here in Nigeria?

Lack of exposure is what led you to this arguments

Someone earning 2k Euro in any Europe countries and someone earning the same 2k Euro in Nigeria ( Content creators are now earning that that amount in Nigeria.

Between the 2, who will have value for their money, spending on their hard earned money.

May be you couldn't comprehend my whole epistle hence trying to be arguing blindly.

You can revert back to the initial comments for better comprehending

Islie:
How much do you use to barb your hair in Nigeria if you want to do comparison

A daily wage from Nigeria is 70k/30days
Most barbers will charge 2k or more for barbing isn't that equivalent to a minimum wage per day?

Before asking your question about Nigeria, I asked you to show the screenshot of your results from Google about barbing in Ghana.

I had my reasons for asking

Ishilove:
Oga, how much is a Euro to a dollar, and how much is 1EUR/1NGN? Answer that question instead of making such ridiculous comparisons

Use whatever rate you like.

Someone earning 2k Euro monthly in Europe countries and someone earning that same 2k Euro in Nigeria, The streamers and content creators are now making more than that amount in Nigeria in a month.

So Between the person in the Europe and Nigeria earning same amount, who will enjoy the money most, have value in spending for his earnings

It's Minimum wage is GHS21.77 per day.
https://wageindicator.org/work/minimum-wage/updates/2026/minimum-wage-updated-in-ghana-from-1-january-2026-january-01-2026/

GHS conversion to naira 1 cedis to 1 naira?
126.88 NGN

Everyday a minimum wage earner earns 126.88* 21.77 daily

Okay. How much is barbing in Ghana using their minimum wage of 21ghc per day. Also don't forget to use your Google for the question for Barbing and post the screenshot

Omoawoke:
Witness to which crime? Who exactly is the murder victim?

Do you know how many people cruise around everyday on the streets? So they just pick up everybody making silly jokes ? Instead of focusing on real cases…

Did you watch the video ? He said he has killed 32 people and soldiers and police were hailing him and told him he has tried… does that sound sensible?

I have seen the video now, if I am not exaggerating, it should be nothing less than 3 days ago

That was the question I asked when I saw the video

Humblesam:
Argue? No not at all.
You don't argue the obvious 😀
You're the one labouring to brush over scarlet Truth with strokes of White..
You should be tired defending already 😌

You ended up saying nothing

The person who asked that question should also be arrested. He was asking the questions as a witness

Kaycee54321:
Let me indulge you a bit with a simple scenario:

A low band nurse in the UK can net 2K pounds. Assume frugal living, he/she can save 200 pounds per month, afford vacations and still live a decent life.

Same nurse working in a "well paying hospital" in Lagos can earn 250K. A room self contain in Somolu can cost 1m a year. Very small room. The quality of life is sub par, to put it nicely.

This is me trying to ignore the fact that many nurses earn 100k or less in Nigeria, making them easily susceptible to killing you "mistakenly" when you have the ill luck of landing in a hospital in Nigeria.

PS: I'm just seeing that people are taking the time to share comprehensive breakdowns of cost of living in Nigeria. I'll see how you respond...

Personally, I'd prefer to believe that you're intelligent pretending to be dumb (for whatever personal reasons).

It'll be a tragedy if you really believe half the things you type.

You are actually the one sounding dumb on this thread even with my basic explanation.

Those who are living in abroad and earning high, how much are they paying as bills, how much are they paying as tax?

A nurse in Uk earning net of 2,000 pounds per month, how much is rent alone taking from her salary compared to someone earning N250k in Nigeria with the amount they spend on rent

https://www.nairaland.com/8642104/uk-man-surprised-nigeria-average

In reference to the thread above

Some Nigerians don't even know the basic principles for placing minimum wage amount. There are so many factors to be considered before government can set minimum wage amount.

I remember when the NLC was discussing the new minimum wage, my proposal was not more than N70-N80k after so much factors was considered

In the case of Ghana and their minimum wage, Average current minimum wage in Ghana is 21GHC but the average cost for Barbing as a guy is 15GHC and that even depends on area and the shop.

That price of foods, goods and services in Nigeria are more cheaper than majority of the countries is not something magical

Etiyeokwe:
Nawa o. You said that things are cheaper in Nigeria and still said that data is expensive.

Data generally is expensive even though it's cheaper in Nigeria. So why wasting money on something you are not generating income from.

Kaycee54321:
You're either a really intelligent man, playing dumb...or a very dumb man, pretending to be intelligent.

Shun tantrums and answer the questions I asked. Those with no substance always like to resort to tantrums the way you did above

What's the minimum wage in Ghana? How much is barbing cost in the same Ghana?

Una go dey use local exposure to be arguing something international

Ishilove:
Kindly refrain from commenting about things you don't know about. It is very irritating. How much is the minimum wage in comparison to the cost of living? You don't live in Nigeria so it is very easy for you to make all these kinds of ignorant comments.

Tell us what you know. How much is their monthly salary, how much is their monthly bill?

How much tax do you pay in Nigeria compared to those abroad.

Someone in Europe, Baba O n Sha nla, I think Germany posted 3 mackerel fishes and ask how much it cost in Nigeria as he bought it at equivalent of N40K.

Wondering why some of you just like to be arguing blindly

Richtaiwo:
Most importantly, Nigeria annual budget hovers around $45b with a population of around 250 million while UK with population less than 70 million has averagely annual budget of $1 trillion. Nigeria is not as rich as UK.

Bro, stop wasting your time engaging with those people, they can never be positive with any discussion while you won't still learn a thing from the discussion plus the time wasted

CerebrumOptimus:
Hmn.. this thing wey you talk ehn... Hmn.. I did not know when I started farming turkeys o.

When I was in Jss1, I was learning how to repair wrist watch, in Jss2 I started part time work which I did through out tertiary

You can never be a liability to any one if you are financial independent

fineboynl:
show me a thread of mini importers of today. And I will show you 20 dead thread during Jonathan and buhari

One man's food is another man's poison. Those who are currently into the importing and exporting business are investing heavily, they don't have time for NL threads

fineboynl:
which importers are you talking about?

I use to be a mini importer even under buhari despite our complain it was not as bad as this. In nairaland for example mini importers have dedicated thread and multiple threads. How many of those threads are you still seeing today? All dead.

You used to be. I get am before no be property. Let those who are currently into it speak out

Humblesam:
Oga don't do this.
Just let it be.
We understand your point but it's needless explaining please.
We don't always need to support everything even when it's obvious we've messed up big time.... Just forget it.

You understand yet still want to be arguing blindly. For what again

Let's see if ADC will be a serious opposition as in house fight have been distracting Pdp since

BangaRice:
Buhari was opposed on that ground because he claimed there is nothing like subsidy. Remember that?

And the opposition believed him? Chai and you made this kind of excuse.

Oya cover your face with something

telleyway:
Are you saying he's borrowing to service debt? What nonsense!

Stop using question to answer questions

And Buhari paid the same subsidy through out his tenure while the noise maker opposition were busy making noise online

alanto:
Truth be told more needs to be done on our wages. You don't live in Nigeria. I spend over 100k on feeding every month. Then we can discuss bills, clothing, transportation, school fees. It's crazy... People end up begging to fill the gap. I know it didn't start from this present administration but we need to do more about our minimum wage it's crazy. It's always been crazy. Our minimum wage have never been enough to take care of a family person. Only OK for fresh out of secondary school boys and girls.

The reason why the minimum wage can't be increased for now is because there are still too much of ghost workers in the system

When the debate about the minimum wage came, I am the first on Nigeria social media space to have suggested nothing less than or more N70-N80k

Increasing the minimum wage above that amount currently will cause inflation

What people don't know is, price of things are cheap in Nigeria . How much is an average 1 room in Nigeria compared to other countries?

Why are other countries in Africa for example not throwing parties the way we do in Nigeria?

Compare ordinary the price of a beer in Nigeria with other countries and see the reason.

Though the minimum wage in Nigeria is low but with low price of goods and services, we should be doing better if we reduce our unnecessary spendings

Religion, festive activities and parties cost a lot yearly in Nigeria now add expensive data people are still affording even though they don't make money on internet

Apc might also collapse before the 2031 election because there would be leadership vacuum.

And if you are expecting 100% solutions on decades rots in just 3 years, then you are not ready for serious conversation

If you are into importing and exporting business, you don't even need any explanation to feel the policies of this government

The price of goods and services and foods that are coming down are not by mistake, it's the policies effects . Masses are the consumers of the imported products. Direct benefits from the government

bolaayenimo:
Hmm..i believe you 💯

Winning Nigeria election with no rigging, you will still need anything from N100bn. When I see the opposition candidates claiming they are popular and relevant, I only laugh at them.

Atiku could have had no issue in raising more than that amount for election, but he's exhausted financially after the 2023 election

Abi, you want to tell the market women you are a saint from Pluto without giving them something and expect them to vote for you.

How about the association, groups, the kings, obas across Nigeria. You want to promise them good will without them having anything in their pocket

This is an internal issue which should be resolved internally
