MINIMUM WAGE: List Of Minimum Wages Of Some Selected Countries Of The World

It is most unfortunate that despite its resource endowment Nigerian workers are some of the most underpaid in the world.

The minimum wage in Nigeria is exceptionally low. Nigeria can afford three times the current amount as minimum wage if wanton theft and extravagant wastage of public funds are put in check. There is no reason to purchase vehicles every year for all ministries and departments. There is no reason on earth to be rewarding former HOS, governors, etc with the salary equivalent of their sitting counterparts, plus vehicles and support.

Nigerians trusted and believed that Muhammadu Buhari would put a check to all the malfeasance that impoverished Nigeria in such a manner that a landlocked and resources lacking Chad Republic pays higher minimum wage than Nigeria; unfortunately, he is discombobulated by what he met upon assuming office. I doubt that Nigeria will ever be salvaged.

1. Nigeria - $38 (N18,000).

2. Algeria - $175 (N83,000).

3. Belgium - $1,738 (N810,000).

4. Cameroon - 36, 270CFA ($75) N38,000.

5. Chad - $120 (N60,000).

6. Denmark - $1,820 (N900,000).

7. Libya - $430 (N190,000).

8. Japan - $1000 (N450,000).

9. Cote D'ivoire -36,607CFA $72.

10. New Zealand -$3,187 (N1.4m).

11. Luxemburg - $2,500 (N1.1m).

12. Spain - $760. (N300,000).

13. Switzerland - $5,620 - N2.5m.

14. USA - $11 per hour.

Ironically, Nigeria politicians earn the highest salaries in the whole world.

In Luxemburg where the minimum wage is $2,500, their lawmakers are paid $7,400. In Libya where the minimum wage is $430, lawmakers earn $3000.

In Nigeria where the minimum wage is $38 (N18,000), lawmakers earn $45,000 (N16m).

How long will this continue???

OBOREVWORI: How Not To Glorify A 'One Chance' Governor - By Zik Gbemre

It is appalling how, in desperation to sustain its thieving hegemony over the Delta State Government since 1999, the Delta PDP had the audacity to impose the weakest, most uninformed contender, a local champion, as Governor over a state replete with accomplished men and women of immense capacity. Given this unenviable privilege, one would have expected the fortunate placeholder governor, Sheriff Oborevwori—whose only election campaign manifesto was pledging to improve on the failed leadership of Ifeanyi Okowa, his predecessor—to engage creative minds and individuals of proven integrity to assist him in making a difference. Rather than doing the needful, Oborevwori has worsened matters by electing to engage the same spent leaders, deadwood, and gluttons that have gained prominence in running the state down over successive administrations. The result has been a government of mediocre officeholders competing to run the state for their pockets at the detriment of the populace, under a gove...
