Nigeria Should Introduce Per Hour Minimum Wage by akingangan: 2:57pm On Feb 19 |
The best time to introduce per hour minimum wage is now. By doing so a middle class will emerge and there will be dignity in labour People will start working harder and smarter. Exploitation of the likes of house help will stop instantly. Nigeria will then catch up with the rest of the world. Ask all the Japa people and they will tell you they are doing any work they see so far as it pays their bills. Someone should tell this to Tinubu and Labour A good minimum wage in line with international standards will be at least $5 per hour or 5000 Naira 2 Likes 1 Share |

In Nigeria it can't work. The clock timer will be set to slow such that you work 2 for 1hr, the machine will be miscalculating the due date, and sometimes even failed to recognize your Id. This country is in a pathetic state. Deliberate acts of criminality 2 Likes |

Imagine the productivity of teachers, doctors, nurses etc... That is the trick these western countries are using to brain drain Nigerian trained workers who are working 7 to 7 almost half a day. That is a typical shift for doctors and nurses in UK. A criminal penalty should attached to any worker not paying the rate. |

matify83: This means you will have to work your ass off for every hour spent. No room for laziness. It also means the civil servants will be downsized because many of them are unproductive. |

RenaissanceGuy: Let me check my arithmetics. The man said 5 dollars per hour or 5000 naira Since I work 8 hours per day (8 to 4) That's 5x 8 =40 dollars Or 5000 x 8 = 40,000 naira E be like we both failed the arithmetic o! |

akingangan:I agree with you but we don't need to start base on international standard in Nigeria for now. The minimum wage per hour can be #400. But the consequence is that prices of goods and services will also shootup |
Re: Nigeria Should Introduce Per Hour Minimum Wage by akingangan: 5:01pm On Feb 19 |
It is basically common sense. Ok, using a private school as a scenario. If a teacher must earn minimum wage of #5000 per hour, and parents are paying #200,000 per child. If an employer decides minimum wage is too much and relieves people of their jobs. Parents will remove their children and find a better quality school and the school owner loose #200,000 per child, so it will make sense for the school to pay the minimum wage or loose everything. In a scenario where a banker has a child minder/house help and a driver. Having to pay the minimum wage with not enough for both will force the banker to choose the child minder otherwise no going to work. The driver can then find an executive driver position or go to start a business. Farmers will have confidence farming and traders trading because the purchasing power comes from everyone including the child minder, driver, banker etc This is the kind of economic revolution needed. |

RenaissanceGuy: The op already gave us the yard stick. My initial impression was that 5 dollars was = 5000. That's how I converted the 40 dollar to 200k. The truth be say all of us like money! |
