That depends on the employer. I believe fulltime officially starts from 28.5 hours and above( not 100% sure). Some employer won't pay overtime till over 37.5hrs, some 40hrs some 48hrs. Depends on the industry and if it's a unionized job or not.
alright thanks for the little info

a friend wrote this and he considered other factors unlike u
Sina Solaru
Price per barrel of crude oil a year ago
[January, 2014] was $97.92/barrel
worldwide. It is now $46.97/barrel.... Gas/
petrol was $3.28/gallon a year ago in the
U.S. It is now $1.89/gallon because of
demand & supply that controls the price. I
just bought a gallon of petrol/gas from
Costco at $1.89 cents/gallon today and since
1 gallon equals 3.78 liters, that equals to 50
cents per liter here in the U.S. That is
#92.50kobo per liter @ the exchange rate of
$1= #185naira ..... Per Capita Income in the
U.S. is $53,042 while per capita income in
Nigeria is $3,006 source: World Bank. That
means Nigeria is currently[until the so called
midnight] paying more at #97/liter than in
the U.S. at #92.50/liter. Nigerians should be
paying #5.24kobo per liter based on the per
capita income differential. Otherwise, the
result is still ABJECT POVERTY! Hit 'Like' if
you are not better off than you were 4 years
ago.
Your post shows you do not understand a single thing concerning evaluation of economic systems.
On what grounds are you comparing both country?
In fact, let me just be silent. Your post is annoying to respond to.

Unfortunately that is not how to determine who is getting a better deal
Prices cannot be compared in isolation
What can you buy with your N180 compared to my $1?
You can't run away from that in your comparisons
Businesses are no charitable organizations.
If you want fuel at welfare rate, build and refine all you need. Even plus exces to export. As long as you have to import some, believe me, your gdp is irrelevant to the refineries. You either pay at the going rate, or you get out.

I wonder y people don't sit down to make research n finding, just jump up n write just to credit or discredit. Naija Government has failed n all we should b praying for is a good change n not trying to give credit to those do not deserve it.
You are talking of gas price in naija is cheaper to the US, have u sat to calculate how much an average Nigerian earn n cost of living? I live in Virginia where just a cent is anticipated to b added on pump price of gas n everyone is talking about it as if it's 10$.
Minimum wage is like 8$, which means $8 x 160 hours a month of labour =$1280./month, n 1280$ x 181naira = #231,680. While I bought a gallon for $1.45, therefore making a litter here =about #84.
Now how many Nigerians earn this much n anytime there is election that is when these people come out to do us the so called favour just to win our vote which we give them foolishly. Was there no gas all this while,y was d price not reduced until now?
Let us stop celebrating failure as if these things are not our right ,just because it's reduced should we start dancing n throwing parties.
Please let's pray,hope n look forward to change.
Long live Naija
Re: Nigeria's Current Petrol Pump Price Better Than That Of The USA by angelawoko(m): 6:15am On Jan 20, 2015
$8 x 20hours x 185 = 29,600. That is for working for just 20 hours in a month and like just three days of work in Nigeria. It is pathetic.
bishopclin:
minimum wage in the USA is basically done hourly. It is an average of $8/hour. Meanwhile, it is pertinent to note that it all depends on how much time one can put in a month and the availability of the job

Minimum wage in USA is not 18,000 naira per month
Minimum wage is actually $1160 a month ($7.25 an hour) and that is N203,000 (1 dollar to N175 exchange rate)

one barrel of crude oil is now below 50$

One barrel of crude if refine is equivalent to 150 liters of fuel.

Do the maths

Why can't we own a refinery?

If we refine this crude oil in nigeria there will be no need spending money for imported fuel.

We could simply buy locally refine fuel for 20naira.

Oil thefts steals 400,000 barrel per day.

And nigeria only need free 250,000 barrel per days to power our economy, but only few people enrich themselves with GEJ.

This will only make us to spend for refining cost and by then it will be around 10naira if crude oil is free.

This will make our economy more stronger and the poor will feel the impact of a government. No robbery and kidnapping.

to power electricity and the whole nigeria economy is 250,000 a day. Oil thefts steals 400,000 per day.

Jonathan failed nigerians

Op pls get ur facts right before you post anything, America is not an oil producing state, you just can't compare them with us when it comes to crude oil, u compare your stats. with an oil producing state.
Hello there! America actually produces more crude oil than Nigeria.

That's by the way. What we really need is for the govt to completely deregulate the petroleum sector. The subsidy needs to be removed. Allow those with the capacity to import. Encourage private refineries. As long as we continue to import refined fuel, price will stay high. We should remember that the naira keeps falling in value.

Before prices of petrol can be compared, the standard of living of USA & Nigeria should be compared. Minimum wage in Nigeria is N18,000.
Is that the same amount earned by civil servants in USA?
