Did he not reference Ghana?

Is their minimum wage Australian or Canadian standard?

NLegendforte:
What's the minimum wage in those countries? What's the unemployment rate?
Stupid political idiots everywhere

Mumu Reno. Anything to seek relevance and draw TInubu's attention. But sadly, nobody knows Reno the demented propagandist

Ghana's minimum wage is $40 per month.

Nigeria's minimum wage is $38 per month....just 2 dollars less.

Yet Ghana pays university fees that are 25 times higher than ours...not two dollars higher than ours.

And Ghana is just as broke as we are...plus petrol is N800 per liter there.

Better realize that their minimum wage is just 2 dollars better, not 25 times ours.

NeckingNgulping:


Forget about this long epistle of the taxes they're looting and talk about how they have been able to manage our natural resources since time immemorial..

And who told you those molues and keke, and bikes don't pay taxes?

The question is, how has government been able to utilize the funds in the best interest of the masses?

Stop defending criminals.. We don't trust the government when it comes to handling money.

When there's a strict penalty for public funds thieves like the death sentence, then I can take this country serious..

toshie:
Despite the inflation, Nigeria remains the most affordable country to live in globally. However, the primary concern lies in the insufficient money circulation within the system. Instead of engaging in business transactions, people tend to opt for safer options like investing in foreign countries through Japa or simply keeping their money in the bank.

Am not much of a fan of Awo, as his free educaiton was built on a tenous foundation...but he did not use any oil money for the SW when he was in charge.

Awo was in charge of the SW from 1957-62. Oil was discovered in 1956...and until 1967, about half went to the Federal government, and the other half went to the regions. Regions used their half of what they got from the raw materials they sold then to fund themselves.

Awo funded free education using cocoa revenues. Not oil. Oil did not even become a major earner for Nigeria until the 1970's.

Don't mind them o. Common 10% tax they refuse to pay and they will instead accuse government of stealing their money. If you refuse to pay your tax in those countries, you will go straight to prison. After becoming ex-convict your life done spoil be that. Nobody will employ you and no credit again for you. You will quickly become destitute.

They will never agree with you because they never moved out of their closet.
I paid through my nose in UK.
I paid for my energy where I used my television as my light in the room else you pay more for your electricity.
Payment for rent was weekly
You pay for everything.
You will never appreciate your country until you travel out.
Please don't get me wrong, our leaders should improve more on present situation but it's not too bad as it portrayed.

Because they can send 100 pounds to their families at home, and it would translate into a lot of money.

Also, when they start earning salaries in the UK, they are not paying back loans like their UK colleagues, so they have more cash than their UK colleagues who studied over there.

Germany is tuition free. Semester contribution in University of Cologne was recently increased to 320€. That covers transportation and cheap food at canteen.
If your income is low, you could also get exempted from the fee. Plus the federal government gave 270 euros last semester to help every students, including international students.
Reno should be lying to you guys.

Lifestone:

What of Ghana. Let say the truth, it's cheaper here

headboyprince:
common 10% tax what has the govt done with the 10%... good roads education, security, healthcare, power supply.. mention one..

over there healthcare is free..their security is intact..infact their govt will pay you salary if you're unemployed... is like saying the price of wheel barrow should be increased because is way cheaper that aeroplane .. just stop it..

OK.

We know things are cheap here.

Truth is we have become used to paying next to nothing for everything.

From house maids and other domestic servants, to fees we pay artisans doing plumbing or carpentary work etc.

We should improve the standard of our education, so that Nigerians who are ready to pay thousands of dollars abroad can come back to pay similar amount within the Nigerian education system.

The only thing I would plead for is that firstly, loans should be available for those who want a university education but cannot afford it. And I believe that has already been signed into law.

Secondly, their should be enough local scholarships to aid very brilliant students who cannot afford it. All the Nigerian entities should stop all foreign scholarships and focus on local scholarships within the soon to be costly tertiary education in Nigeria.

Enough of cheap but worthless education.

Enough of subsidizing education for Nigerians who want to go work abroad with colleagues who themselves are using their salary to repay loans they took to have an education.

We should stop subsidizing the work force of developed countries.

emonkey:
You are so naive .
"what has the govt done with the 10%" - did you pay ? 99% of Nigerians not on PAYE tax will never pay.
"over there healthcare is free" - In which country specifically. It is all paid from your tax in UK. In US I paid 40% tax and must still pay separately for my health insurance.
"their security is intact." - true, but it never stops hundreds of people from being shot every day.
.infact their govt will pay you salary if you're unemployed - there is nothing automatic about this. It is all conditional.

The argument here is that Nigerians no more know the purpose and value of education because it is cheap. In the US it is common to find students working part time to be able to be able to pay for their university education. Nigerians want it all easy on a platter of gold. That is why most Nigerian companies will rather hire a student who studied abroad than the best of those that studied in Nigeria. Because the other knows how to work to achieve a desired purpose...at any cost.

Menclothing:

You are poor and can pay 100k for secondary school
Student In this Uni rent house minimum of 200k

NOC1:
Education is cheap in Nigeria, Housing is equally cheap in Nigeria, ask those living in the common Bennin Republic how much they pay monthly.
Health care is equally cheap, quality health care in Nigeria is scares but cheap when you get it compared with other Nations.

Nigerians lack the cohesion to change the dynamics of things, any day we see ourselves as one, the abnormality of governance and citizens will be normalized.

No politician can get it right in Nigeria until the mindset of its citizens is changed. We need a proper reorientation of the heart, and do away with tribalism, religious bigotry and a nepotic mindset. These three things are the major problem of the country

Successdude:
Lol..... Why didn't he use the developed countries to measure the minimum wage ?

Using failure to support failure

This man is beginning to make it look like his stewpidity the previous days is only a child's play when compared to that of the subsequent days.
