I've said it and it's showing up. The aids of this government know the truth that their policies are producing the results desired by them. So, they sit to mock the masses in their various gatherings. Having get accustomed to it some of them misfire in the public and later trying to use reverse psychology to redefine the obvious.

No problem, Tinubu will not be president forever, it's at most 8years and the rest becomes history.
Obj is crying up and down now because his conscience is judging him of the calamity he sowed in our nascent democracy, shame doesn't allow Pa Buhari to speak because what was his positive achievement? At least Jonathan still had peaceful handing over to point at even if his administration is an excluded middle.
Let's see how Pa Tinubu will end his own too. Time is ticking

Why exactly are people cursing this man? Why don't you refute his statements? I pay more than N600k every month in utilities abroad per month, N3.2M in mortgage for one house alone per month, I will never pay 20% of that in Nigeria. You people never see anything good in your country. Between August last year and February this year, I was paying about N6m per month in mortgages which included an empty house under renovation. You want me to tell you how much I pay in taxes per month?

Abroad go bill you like crazy, Imagine your own house in Naija with no mortgage and a 24hour solar light? O boy, Naija na paradise on earth I swear.
What exactly do you do ?

Compare that with your counterparts in Nigeria.

I guarantee you can't make such money clean in Nigeria.

People just come online and be exergerating unnecessary.

With 1k you will buy a roasted corn, sachet water & still have some money left with you

Also, you can eat cooked cassava + dried grounded pepper with less than 1k

If you are a lover of beans, 1,000 will get you beans & dodo

Better still, use 500naira buy garri and use it to make eba 😂
800 would get me bread and beans here but na poverty pro max levels Sha

This clearly shows the velocity of mad people that are giving advice to the president.
Most of the malicious policies under this government is as a result of mad advices.
I won't blame Tinubu again

Let us assume he is right, 2500*3= 7500, 7500* 30 = 225000 naira. So why is the minimum wage not this amount plus other basic needs cost?

I think the admin of nairaland are somehow interested in chaotic news that are more of a gossip rather than educational. I wrote on this same topic with the intent of educating Nigerians on how countries currency value is measured, the information did not make the front page but this one which is the continuation of the media quarrel made the front page.
It's a pity

How much is your minimum wage and how much is minimum wage in Nigeria.

Dr Tope Delulu

Your argument is absurd and utterly detached from the reality of most Nigerians. Claiming that N1,500 still holds significant purchasing power is laughable. N1,500 will not get you a meal in Lekki, or anywhere in the rest of Nigeria, this amount barely covers transportation costs.

Even if 1500naira bought you a meal. 3 meals will be 4500naira and a whole month of 30 days will be 135000 naira. For one person. So how does a family of 3 Survive on minimum wage ?


Your suggestion that minimum wage earners should be able to survive on N1,500 is a gross misrepresentation of reality. With inflation soaring, a minimum wage of N30,000 is inadequate for basic needs, let alone a decent meal. Fasua’s condescending remarks about “making difficult choices” ignore the crushing poverty that millions face.

His example of giving N1,000 to a security guard, while quaint, doesn’t change the fact that systemic poverty is rampant. It’s a cheap, feel-good gesture that doesn’t tackle the real issue.

The comparison to President Trump’s governance is nonsensical. Fasua is trying to deflect blame for Nigeria’s woes onto global events and leadership styles, while ignoring that the problem is domestic mismanagement. His “post-COVID recovery” excuse is just a lazy cover-up for ineptitude.

In short, Fasua’s views are a delusional attempt to sugarcoat Nigeria’s dire economic situation. His statements are more about deflection than addressing the real issues of poverty, inequality, and economic collapse.


After introducing poverty , now they are weaponizing it.
I am not only shocked but amazed how he doubled down on his stupidity.

The idiot is supposed to be an economist. grin

Dumbass idiots always insulting the sensibility of a nation. Defending Buhari/Tinubu or APC simply means you must be incredibly stupid, grossly irresponsible and senseless, then inherently wicked and evil.

I can make triple that money in Nigeria. I was in Lagos recently and see business opportunities everywhere. I can easily net of N60M monthly in Nigeria without paying a lot of taxes. I am a business man trained to create profitable solutions to every life problems. I don't complain at problems, I solve them and make money in the process.

Mr Analyst, read what you wrote again. If you concede that N2,500 can indeed buy a meal in Lekki as you alluded to, then you have agreed to his point of argument that Naira is good for its current value
Fixed, my emotions made me write so fast.

It makes sense considering that someone on minimum wage makes in 6hrs what an average Nigerian employee makes in 1 month. Dare to compare?

It is only when they are out of government payroll that their brains start functioning again.

No difference between you and that man. You are a lazy ass man who think he can dish out advices just cos he crossed the shores of Nigeria. Even a wealthy Nigerian can't cough out that money in a month and live comfortably. Where you guys lack sense is that you fail to quantify the security, power , serenity, education etc you tend to acquire their. You are an old man. Try live up to it. Tufia gi

77k salary
2500 multiply by 2 meals in a day is 5000 per day
5000 *30= 150,000
2500*30 = 75000

What about transport fare, medical care fare,
What about your family members.... cluelessness is bind if not our leaders should not be suffering from it.

Apparently,anyone in BAT cabinet thinks upsidedown
