I just love where you have taken this argument to. 5 years from now when inflation must have turned that 160M to 40M, I will come back and ask you if this argument will still hold.

Reason is, you wouldn't dare ask a professor this question 5 years ago when 40M or less was 160M's equivalent.

5 years ago there's nowhere a professor could've seen 40m on his meagre salary.

All ur arguments are just faulty. So u will come back 5 years from now and u will be presenting us 160m total income of a professor when we all know income don't get increased at the same rate inflation figure reduced?

Minimum wage was moved from 30k to 70k and the inflation rate is still high as 4ck. Do u think people's income increased at the same rate inflation increased?

What are you even saying. 5 years ago, it would have taken a professor less than 9 years to accumulate 40M total earnings. You are only shouting 160M now because their salary stayed the same over these years.

I know a senior lecture who sold a land she acquired back in 2003 for 50M and she owns several other which I don't know its value now. She might not afford to buy lands now from her salary but she's definitely worth well above 160M.

GIG has one of the worst services in the world, there's an almost 90% chance that the bus would breakdown in the course of the journey, you'd get stuck in the middle of nowhere, and if you're lucky be shipped to one of their other buses after like 2hrs. They should just face their logistics business jeje.

swiz123:
You seem not to be getting it. They said 10% of Nigerians won't worth 160M in their lifetime.
Worth means after calculating earnings, expenditure and assest owned.
I hope they can stand by same figure 20 years from now.

I really overestimated some people here.

Bro, I don't understand what you're on about, but let’s clarify a few things.

First off, I don’t understand why you’re twisting the facts and misrepresenting the numbers. Just to set the record straight, I stated that 90% of Nigerians will never see N160 million, whether it’s taxed or untaxed, before they leave this earth. It feels as though you’re arguing against a point that isn’t even being made.
Also, it seems to me that you’re not recognising the reality that most people in this country are facing today. There’s a statistic indicating that 73 million out of over 230 million in the population are employed. That’s less than half of the population—let that sink in! Out of those 73 million, we have petty traders, small-time farmers, artisans, labourers, and self-employed individuals, among others.

Let’s assume we set the minimum wage at N200,000 across the board. If you consider that most of these individuals didn’t start earning until their mid-20s—especially for graduates in white-collar jobs—it presents a different story.
If you project their earning power over the course of 40 years of active employment—keeping in mind that Nigerians often retire around 60 years old—along with any substantial wage increases they might receive due to promotions or length of service, how much do you really think will pass through their hands?

You mentioned metropolitan cities, but let’s be honest: Lagos is the primary place where people come to hustle. Yes, there are opportunities elsewhere, but when we look outside Lagos to other states, aside from government jobs and banking, many are self-employed as petty traders, labourers, and small-time farmers. What else is out there for those millions of Nigerians to earn from?
So, where do you think most of these individuals will ever come across N160 million in their lifetime?

Take a step back from your emotions on this. It's Sunday; it’s not too late to conduct a survey. Why not visit a local church and gather some insights into the actual living conditions of Nigerians around you?

Good luck!

[color=royalblue]I think Swiz is judging Nigeria solely based on his circle.

Even if you count all the Lexus and Warehouses and business men, these people do not even make up to 10% of those that will see 160 million oh.

Maybe 10% is little, but it is definitely not as high as you guys are painting it.[/color]

So, just because you know a senior lecturer who sold their land for N50 million, does that automatically mean that all the lecturers you know have land they can sell for N50 million in the same institution? And does that also apply to those who aren’t lecturers at the university, like cleaners, security staff, and admin workers, having land somewhere that they can sell today for N50 million?

Have you considered how many people are actually in the same position as your senior lecturer? Are you aware that your senior lecturer might be among the few who are lucky enough to be in the top 10% of those who have N160 million or can expect to see that amount over their lifetime?

No offence, but you’re starting to sound like someone who lives under a rock.

Dey play you hear!

@bolded
Exactly!

Bro, trust me, that 10% is a generous figure.

Take yourself, for example. You travel a lot and have probably seen more areas in this country than I have. If you think about the everyday people you come across on your visits, do you really see many who have N160 million or are likely to have it in their lifetime based on what’s available to them today?

That's his problem, he's judging situation of things from the few people he knows.

We have shown him stats that includes a large sample size that is all encompassing but he's refused to budge and just chose to stick to his own personal view. He's trying to use his own personal view to see things in general.

[color=royalblue]Na why I dey laugh when I was seeing figures here and there.

160 million is large, and there are many educated, working class Nigerians that won't see such in their lifetime. Na big boys dey earn 500k a year. A person earning averagely 200k nko? And these set of earners are most in the corporate world

Even traders sef. It is very easy to see a business guy buying cars and doing quite well..But for every one, almost 50 are still struggling.

I think Perception here is the problem.[/color]

Exactly! People are actually detached from the reality that millions of others are facing around them.
Just recently, I took one of my nieces to visit a family member somewhere in Mowe. She couldn’t believe that such a place exists in Nigeria, let alone in Lagos. As a matter of fact, when she saw goats running around freely on the streets and children playing shirtless and barefoot, she was astonished. This is someone in her 20s now. She’s earning good money and has travelled across the world as a child and now as an adult. But you could clearly see the surprise on her face.

[color=royalblue]When I was coming back from Edo, we saw a farmer and his wife coming out of the bush with plantains. They sold all the harvest with them (6 big bunches), for 12,000.

If you see the condition of these people,bros...

I do not want to describe them in a degrading way, but bros, people dey go through a lot.

They were happy to sell it at that price sef, because according to the wife, nobody go buy 6 bunches for village. Na only people wey dey go town fit buy all at once.

Facts!

To be honest, people really need to travel more to see and understand the realities that some folks face in this country.
