The whole world 馃實 is going through alot of hardship now. But it also differs from nation to nation. Some nations are not really feeling the heat that much because they have leaders who have the people at heart. While some countries are really going through the problem so hardly probably because of the kind of leadership they have.

For us in Nigeria people are going through alot. The situation is not friendly at all. We have as leaders people who don't have the interest of the people at heart. They are just there to eat and eat and eat, not minding if their people are dying of living. It is not funny at all.
WHAT IS THE MINIMUM WAGE IN NIGERIA?
It is funny the way things have really turned out here in Nigeria. We buy a bag of rice that use to be #15,000 for #90,000, a bag of beans formally sold #35,000 for #110,000, a bag of corn that was sold 30,000 for #120,000, a tuber of yam that was sold #150 for #1500. The list has no end. We are currently experiencing inflation in the highest way. I have never seen anything like this before. I have never heard of anything like this before. I don't think that any generation has ever seen what we are seeing except for the case of the people in the bible that started eating up their children because of hardship. People are dying of hunger on a daily basis. People have taken to the street to beg for food and can hardly get help because everyone is likely facing the music.
In all of these that I have listed above the leadership in my country are insisting on paying their workers a minimum wage of #60,000 per month. This money they are talking about can not feed a dog in my country in one month. Ordinary dog that you can just throw left over food for, but they consume more than #60,000 in a month as it is now.
Recently I heard of one warning strike for the increments of salaries, but where did that take them to? They quickly called off the strike before it even began. What a country! What a leadership! We need God's help in Nigeria today. If God did help us I don't know what will happen to the people in Nigeria in some months to come.
IF GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY WHAT CHANGES CAN I MAKE?
I believe that the best thing for a good government to do is to make sure that the workers are properly taking care of. This is the first thing that I will do if given the chance. I will have their salaries increased to make sure that they work with all their heart. If workers are not taking care of, the work will not be done very well. They will do their work with grudges in their heart. Teachers will not teach, doctors will not do their work in the hospital. That is how it will affect the sector in the country. #60,000 minimum wage is not good at all for our workers. At least with the way things are very expensive now, their salary should be half a million naira for a start.
The main reason why we elected leaders is so that there will be people who are working for the interest of the masses.
This is my response to the week's edition: Minimum wage.
