Tinubu government deliberately impoverished Nigerians. No logic or reason justifies the slave wage being paid to Nigeria workers. Minimum wage of #150000 should actually be the lowest bargaining point of this present regime to mitigate the harsh impact of their so called bold economic reforms. But no they dare not do that as they are enjoying the largess from subsidy removal

Ratio of public to private schools in Lagos State is one to 22 ― Commissioner
September 4, 2022

The Lagos State government has said the ratio of public to private schools at both primary and secondary school levels in the state is one to 22.

The state’s Commissioner for Education, Mrs Folasade Adefisayo, gave the revelation in her remark at the 2022 edition of the Total School Support Seminar Exhibition (TOSSE) held at Oregun in Ikeja between Thursday and Friday.

Do you understand what a middle class family is at all

Those who don't have much but can still feed themselves at least

Now everyone is now either poor or rich, except you want to start lying to yourself

100k was considered huge money before the entrance of your lord and saviour

Now even 500k must be managed with utmost prudence to even see road clear
Talking in the nonsense dear. A capitalist economy without a middle class will crash completely. There cannot be an upper class without a middle consumer class.

And the brilliant Chimamanda whose politics and philosophies are often a terrible disappointment in comparison to her literary genius, is making the same mistake by equating the middle class with minimum wage earners.

Talking in the nonsense!

The question is: who is a middle class Nigerian? What does a middle class family in Nigeria look like? How much do they earn? What do they spend on? How do we assess middle class families? What's middle class in Lagos could pass as upper middle class in Kaduna.

Who are the middle class begging to survive?

Recently this lady has been talking to trigger the minds of her people.

It wouldn't be long when her people will abandon Peter Obi to start pushing her to lead them in politics.
If you are a Nigerian before an apc, pdp, or any other political class you would see that what she's saying is true, I visited a family last week they are both teachers I knew them during my nysc year, I almost cried when I saw their state of living now because this are people who used to support us coppers, not that they lost their jobs but their salaries cannot longer meet up

Stop talking rubbish! You talk as if you want the FG to come to your house to feed you and your family. Citizens have a roll to play in a country. Everything should not be about government. You talk about 100k not been able to feed a family, how much did Obi paid when he was governor? He could not pay minimum wage then
Is obi not part of the leaders, when we talk about our leaders falling us we mean all of them.The only thing some of guys think is that anybody that criticize the government is an igbo person.

Another high-profile manufacturer of white lies.

With all the wealth you accumulate by playgiarism, how much have you spent to empower your village People in particular and your state in general ?
Or does everything boil down to the government only ?

They borrow to sustain themselves.

Imagine me without a father or older ones who struggle to get education all by myself now earning 47k salary where I have to help my siblings, feed, pay rent and transport from. What is this life turning into? This is why some people get so frustrated and take their own lives

If the middle class are begging to feed, then what are the poor doing to feed?
Personally I would have preferred not to born at all than be born into Nigeria. I don't earn up to 50k salary. And I have to pay my rent, feed, transport and help My younger ones from same salary. What is life?
