In 2005, when the minimum wage was , 7500 naira and the fuel price was 50 naira per litre, the minimum wage could buy 150 litres of fuel. Today, the minimum wage is 30,000 naira, which can only buy 42 litres. This statistically explains why the average Nigerian is currently struggling; it is not primarily due to the machinations of village witches.

Comparative Analysis of Petrol Costs Relative to Minimum Wage in the US and Nigeria

When evaluating the cost of living in different countries, it is crucial to consider the price of essential commodities like petrol in relation to the minimum wage. By comparing the percentage of the cost of petrol within the minimum wage, we can gain insights into how much of an individual's earnings are spent on fuel. Here, we will examine this relationship in the United States and Nigeria.

United States:

- Cost of petrol per liter: $0.99
- Minimum wage: $1257

To calculate the percentage of the cost of petrol in the minimum wage, we use the formula:

Percentage = (Cost of Petrol per Liter / Minimum Wage) × 100

For the US:

Percentage in the US = (0.99 / 1257) × 100 ≈ 0.079%

This calculation indicates that in the United States, approximately 0.079% of the minimum wage is spent on purchasing one liter of petrol.

Nigeria:

- Cost of petrol per liter: $0.45
- Minimum wage: $19.41

For Nigeria:

Percentage in Nigeria = (0.45 / 19.41) × 100 ≈ 2.32%

In Nigeria, about 2.32% of the minimum wage is required to buy one liter of petrol.



From the above calculations, it is evident that people in Nigeria spend a significantly larger portion of their minimum wage on petrol compared to individuals in the United States. Specifically, the percentage of the cost of petrol in the minimum wage is approximately 2.32% in Nigeria, while it is only about 0.079% in the US. This stark difference underscores the heavier financial burden that fuel costs impose on Nigerian workers relative to their American counterparts. Understanding these disparities can help inform policies aimed at improving living standards and economic conditions in Nigeria.

They are on a mission to finish Nigeria up. Nigerian skit makers will run out of Nigeria soon. They want to scatter the youths so that they cannot come together to fight them.

Feeding alone is bankrupting Nigerians

Mindlog:
That minimum wage of £11.44/hour, one hour pay of work, will get you:

-1 kg of chicken drumsticks
-2 kg of rice
-1 litre of vegetable oil
-Tomatoes, pepper and onions
-1 kg of mixed veggies (carrot, green peas etc)
- Spices.
-2 fingers of ripe plantain.

Wow! That's huge!

To drastically reduce food inflation, the Nigerian government should consider supplying fertilizers to every state free of charge and making the sale of fertilizers a criminal offense. Additionally, allowing the importation of livestock feed duty-free would be beneficial. Implementing these measures could make food inflation, hunger, and starvation a thing of the past in Nigeria within six months. An improved food supply would positively impact the economy, as economic growth is challenging in an environment plagued by food crises. Addressing the current food crisis in Nigeria is crucial for the nation's overall economic recovery and growth.

This is like comparing a Tiger to an ant in strength and bite force. First, what is UK's unemployment rate and that of Nigeria's? Come on!

Remember, Nigeria is an oil producing nation. What is the benefits oil if it cannot be used to make life better for Nigerians.

Cost of Living Comparison: UK vs. Nigeria

- UK minimum wage: £11.44/hour
- Nigeria minimum wage: ₦30,000/month
- UK fuel price: £1.44/litre
- Nigeria fuel price: ₦700/litre

In the UK, one day's wage (8 hours) buys 63 litres of fuel.
In Nigeria, one month's wage buys only 42 litres of fuel.

All these Ibo people know that if Nigeria is divided into pieces and each region is on its own...they will suffer ....they need Nigeria union more than any other tribe...tell them to support regionalism and hear their response..and yet they keep on playing a scallywag card in the country and on the pages of social media.

Which people have been at the forefront for regionalism?

How APC-Led Government (2015-Till Date) Anti-Igbo Policies Sank the Economy of Nigeria


Since coming into power in 2015, the All Progressives Congress (APC) government has been accused of implementing policies that marginalize the Igbo people, leading to significant economic repercussions for Nigeria. This article explores the impact of these policies on the economy, highlighting key projects halted, monopolistic practices promoted, and infrastructural neglect, all of which have collectively contributed to Nigeria’s economic decline.

Halted Projects and Economic Impact

1.Orient Petroleum Refinery: Before the APC came into power, construction of the Orient Petroleum Refinery in Anambra was underway, promising to boost indigenous refining capabilities and reduce dependence on imported fuel. However, the project was halted, stifling potential economic growth and local employment opportunities.

2. Ibeto Cement: Ibeto Cement was once a reliable and affordable cement provider in Nigeria. With the advent of the APC-led administration, Ibeto Cement faced severe setbacks, eventually becoming history. This decline disrupted the construction industry, increased building costs, and diminished consumer confidence in local manufacturing.

Promotion of Monopolistic Practices
The APC-led government has been criticized for promoting monopolistic practices, which have several disadvantages:

Higher Prices: Monopolies can set higher prices due to lack of competition, leading to increased costs for consumers.

Reduced Innovation: Without competition, there is little incentive for monopolies to innovate, resulting in stagnation.

Economic Inequality: Monopolistic practices often lead to wealth concentration in a few hands, exacerbating economic inequality.

These monopolistic tendencies have negatively affected Nigeria’s economy by stifling competition, innovation, and fair pricing.

Agricultural Policies and Economic Chaos
The ban on agricultural products had unintended consequences:

Northern Advantage: Northern farmers, benefiting from large tracts of land, federal government irrigation projects, free fertilizers, and seedlings, exploited other regions. The high cost of food created economic chaos, highlighting that no country can achieve economic stability without affordable food. Food inflation directly correlates with economic crises.

Nepotistic Railway System Design
The APC government designed the railway system with a nepotistic undertone:

Regional Bias: The railway system was developed favouring regions loyal to the APC, neglecting a comprehensive system that would connect northern and southern regions. This neglect hindered the efficient movement of goods and services, preventing cheaper transportation of food and other goods, and contributing to high costs and economic inefficiency.

Regional vs. National Interest: The design of Nigeria’s rail system prioritizes regional interests over national cohesion, undermining economic integration and growth.

Nigerian Gas Master Plan
Similarly, the Nigerian Gas Master Plan avoided key cities in the South East, demonstrating a pattern of infrastructural neglect that stifles regional economic development and national economic synergy.

Border Closures and SME Impact
The closure of land borders severely affected small and medium-scale exporters:

Export Disruption: Many small-scale manufacturers in Aba, Nnewi, and Onitsha, as well as other Nigerian cities, relied on land borders for exporting goods. The border closure disrupted their businesses, leading to economic losses and reduced manufacturing output.

Economic Damage: These negative policies targeted at the Igbos have, in turn, damaged the broader Nigerian economy by stifling small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which are crucial for economic growth and employment.

In Conclusion

The anti-Igbo policies implemented by the APC-led government since 2015 have significantly damaged Nigeria’s economy. Halted projects, promotion of monopolies, agricultural exploitation, nepotistic infrastructural development, and border closures have collectively contributed to economic decline. To restore economic progress, it is imperative to address these issues through inclusive policies, fair infrastructure development, and support for local industries, ensuring that economic stability and growth are achieved for all regions in Nigeria.

Igbo Marginalization and Anti-Igbo Policies in Nigeria: Impacts on the Naira's Devaluation

Igbo Marginalization and Economic Disparities

The Igbo people, predominantly located in the southeastern region of Nigeria, have historically felt marginalized within the Nigerian polity. This marginalization is perceived in various forms, including political exclusion, infrastructural neglect, and economic disadvantages. Policies perceived as anti-Igbo have exacerbated these feelings, leading to widespread discontent and calls for greater autonomy or even secession.

Impact on the Naira's Devaluation

One of the most visible consequences of this marginalization is the steady devaluation of the Naira. The Naira's decline can be attributed to several factors, including poor economic policies, corruption, and instability. However, the ongoing economic instability in the southeastern region, fueled by the Igbo secessionist movement, has significantly contributed to the Naira's free fall.

The Monday Sit-at-Home Exercise

Since the inception of the Monday sit-at-home exercise initiated by secessionist groups, the economic activities in the southeastern region have been severely disrupted. This exercise involves shutting down businesses, schools, and other economic activities every Monday as a form of protest. The repercussions are far-reaching, as this regular cessation of economic activities has led to substantial financial losses, decreased productivity, and heightened insecurity in the region.

The disruption in trade and commerce has not only affected the southeastern states but has also had a ripple effect on the national economy. The uncertainty and instability created by these protests have deterred investors and hindered economic growth, contributing to the devaluation of the Naira.

The Path to Economic Recovery

To address these issues and restore economic stability, there is a pressing need for dialogue and reintegration of the Igbos into the Nigerian political and economic landscape. Ensuring that the Igbo people feel included and valued within the Nigerian federation is crucial for national unity and economic progress.

Lessons from Agricultural Policies

The Nigerian government has previously banned the importation of certain agricultural products to boost local production and self-sufficiency. A similar approach could be applied to goods produced in key Igbo commercial hubs such as Aba, Onitsha, and Nnewi,like footwears and apparel, vehicles and vehicle spare parts and motorcycle spare parts. By promoting and protecting locally manufactured goods from these regions, the government can stimulate local economies and reduce dependency on foreign imports. This strategy can potentially lead to a more balanced trade environment and contribute to the stabilization of the Naira

In conclusion

Economic activities thrive in environments of stability and inclusion. The ongoing marginalization and anti-Igbo policies have contributed to the economic downturn in Nigeria, manifesting in the devaluation of the Naira. Addressing these issues through dialogue, reintegration, and supportive economic policies will go a long way in restoring Nigeria's economic progress. By fostering an inclusive and equitable society, Nigeria can create a conducive environment for sustainable economic growth and stability.

a 30k coach must be garbage, his first job aside he has never spent more than 2 years on a job. They should just give the job to Fidelis or something because weytin be this

He qualified Nigeria to the 2018 Worldcup with a game to spare from a group that has Africa champions Cameroon, Algeria and Zambia.

His team was deducted two points just because of NFF carelessness yet it didn't affect the Super Eagles qualifications.

Qualified Nigeria for the 2022 FIFA Worldcup qualifying playoffs but clueless NFF decided to sack him.

Qualified for the 2019 and 2021 AFCON with games to spare.

We wanted Nigeria to play like Manchester City.

Here we are, no hopes of playing at the 2026 Worldcup.

Lethargic football carries the day. Rhor and Peseiro manage our football with lethargic football while Finidi and Eguaveon finished us with gen gen pressing.

Wetin Gernot Rohr dey run for us with ease.
Calculators are back!

Iwobi has retrogressed badly, from above average to average. We had great opportunities to shoot from the attacking midfielder position but Iwobi doesn't have the ability to shoot from the position. There matches you will play,no matter how hard you try to score, you cannot score unless you have a player that can deliver from Free kick,corner kick,win penalty and shoot from outside 18.
The super eagles lack such exceptional players, only Osimhen comes close and Nigeria missed him.

He unleashed five attacking players on South Africa

Foreign rejects what a nonsensical proposition.

Many players were never on the radar for a call up to the English national team so how were they rejected ❓

Even if they did not get selected ( rejected) your diction that therefore in your supposed reasoning makes them inferior in the context of Nigeria ❓

Having the thoughts of inferiority in mind. Tell me one not two of our superior accepted players in the current SE, that will get into the England senior national team please 🥺

Were they rejected or not? Stop forming from your mouth. This is discussion is not for you with warped mentality.

komekn:


You are on a public written forum 😞 changing your diction and narrative without shame.

Let me quote you verbatim , "injecting home grown and home based players is commendable."

Apart from Nwabali, who came out of the local league nobody else you mentioned is homegrown and or home based.

VO, Boniface are youth academy players that left Nigeria as teenagers to learn develop and improve their talent and potential in European clubs.

For instance KC is classed as UK homegrown according to FIFA guidelines because he was developed by Manchester City football team academy.

When you use the terminology of homebased and home grown in the context of the senior national team SE. It's not youth players we are talking about.

You are talking about in the here and now NPFL players who are home based and homegrown that's the pertinent description.

You are Shameless bigoted and retrogressive, you are the Nigerian problem.

Calling players of Nigerian origin foreign rejects imagine the audacious hypocrisy.


Below 👇🏿 the story of rejection of Eberechi Eze and his rejection even rejected by Nigeria. A Nigerian reject taken up by England.

https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGeVoywJd/

They are foreign rejects,let that sink in.

komekn:


This is the most stupendous retrogressive backward approach I can find here so far.

What happened to ability, competence, excellence, quality, objectivity, merit, etc

The only qualification needed is if you are a local player.

Its like saying I have confidence in only people from the northern for political appointments because I'm a Northern president. Or because I'm a Yoruba president I'll appoint only Yorubas to my core positions.

As it stands in the SE who are the most technically proficient player's and high quality players in your small mind it's those that came from the local league.

You are like a blind bat 🦇but you think 🤔 you have eyes 👀.

Not just home based or home grown players,but the best of them. You, calling it retrogressive is purely your warped opinion.
Nwabali, Osimhen, Boniface and others are homegrown players. Most of our best players are homegrown. Relying on them is far better than relying on foreign rejects.
