by bogus salaries, what do you mean? Like how much do you think NNPC and FIRS staff take home monthly? cheesy
the least paid staff at NNPC goes home with nothing less than 2 point 7 million in a month, while the least paid at FIRS goes home with 2 million a month.

Let me burst you a little My wife friend is a Civil servant on 200k but she established a thriving Daipers business.
She supply the Top supermarket she currently has 12 Major supermarket she supply Monthly
Which sell in excess of 200 pack per supermarket 2400 packs x 1000 naira profit/= 2.4m Monthly
The capital no pass 15m and limited stress orders sent via WhatsApp , items delivered via Keke , Invoiced sent for payment via WhatsApp
Alert enter electronically .
And still a Civil servant going to office 1 a week
This what Labanes and Chinese are seeing in Nigeria while we selling everything to do grass Cutting in UK and been threaten by reform UK
Imagine. I hope she is not one of those that call government corrupt, cos there is no difference between her and them.

The salary for the month for state civil servants that have worked for 15 years is barely 200,000 naira which is less than 200 dollars which is the amount earned by someone clearing grass in a day in UK.

Once the civil servant gets his salary at the end of the month, he goes depressed as the money can't take him home.

Due to high cost of rentage, he joins contribution of 80,000 naira for 10 people, and this money is for the Landlord at the end of the year.

He gives his wife 60,000 naira for feeding and the wife grudgingly collects it as it is impossible in this present economy to survive with that amount.

He spends on transportation, he also has dependants like his dad and mum and siblings and also hospital bills for his family and that of his parents.

The salary he was receiving 10 years ago has more value than the present salary as naira was stronger then.

The future looks very bleak for the civil servant as there is no more gratuity unlike before as it is now contributory saving as it is what you save is what you will be paid when you retire.

No wonder Directors are now quitting their duty post and travelling out of the country because they see no hope.

Nigeria we hail thee.
Abeg no vex,you mean govt doesn't pay gratuity anymore,if true,since when,pls?

You still haven't explained the part about how a Civil servant on 200k came about 15m
And she supplies 12 major supermarkets? In this Nigeria? Which town if I may respectfully ask? You mean the supermarkets can't get their supplies directly from the manufacturers or dealers?
Don't mind them, they are"Gbontivational Speakers"!

Cyclical poverty. Snake eating its own tail. Pay them a living wage and corruption should be lower

is productivity guaranteed? Or you want the govt to pay you well but you serve the system like trash. Imagine a policeman freeing a criminal who extorts productive farmers, yet you want price of food t drop. No be juju be dat?
Re: Nigerian Civil Servants Will Receive Their Salary And Fall Into Depression by Olumaeme: 8:23pm On Oct 24, 2025
You missed it where you converted to Dollar and UK.

Majority of workers in Nigeria are not well paid, and government workers no exception.

Also, it is not thr duty of your employer to pay you money that will be comfortable for you, your employer pays you what you are worth in the marketplace.

Resign and get a better job or contest for Senator.

Do you know how easy it is to steal abroad? They don’t do it because
1. Ethics inculcated from a young age
2. There is a retirement benefit that covers almost everyone
3. The pay is fair

It’s been replicated in second wave economies like Japan, third wave economies like , SKorea, Singapore and Hong Kong, Fourth wave economies like Dubai, China, Qatar

That Civil Service Matter ehn, they too are part of the problem of this country cos they have bastardized it, corrupted it and forget that one day, the will leave that service and be at the receiving end. Civil service has become partisan service, corrupted service, biased service. They are suppose to help build strong institutions and and ensure that the integrity of the system is intact to deliver its mandate to the people such that when they leave the service, they also will be able to use that same system and get results without fear or favor. Everything has been politicized. Favoritism and bigotry has never been at all time high. Bribery and dishonesty no get mate for civil service. Imagine, make civil servant they say snake eat money for jamb office then, if civil servants tried to make their ministry work by all means and stop all the corrupt practices they engage in, maybe, just maybe their take home will have more value today and we will not be at the mercy of politicians because the country will be in a better place....

The long and short of the story is that it is not their salary that feed them anymore. Na person wey close to politicians and sabi road dey civil service. So if after 35yrs of service, it is not the pension and gratuity they look forward to anymore. It is what they amassed while they were in government and public service

Going abroad is not an issue to them.

Stop explaining away the crookedness of the blackman. The most paind are the most corrupt. USA can send an ex-president to jail. France did this week. Can same happen in Nigeria? People came out to celebrate Ibori because they know he did not invent stealing. He only advanced it.

Anyone earning equivalent of N2m per month in UK will fall into worse depression than the civil servant earning N200k/month in Nigeria. Go figure! One bad trip alone to a mechanic will set someone in UK back to equivalent of one year salary in Nigeria. 1 month rent in a 2-bdr apartment will get 1 year rent in good places in Lagos.Numbers alone do not tell all the stories.
