There was a time 1million naira used to be a lot of money. But that time is gone. It is like some of you are not aware 1million naira is less than £500.
Anybody >21years old in uk on minimum wage work can make £500 in 5days.
But someone in Nigeria on minimum wage cannot make 1million naira in one year of work. They will need 15months.
Just think about it.
The same money someone on minimum wage can make in 5days in this uk, that same person on minimum wage in Nigeria will work for one year and not make it.
Yet the minimum wage worker in uk has free healthcare, can get free school for kids up to secondary, can get free housing, etc but the person in Nigeria gets absolutely nothing.
We are in serious trouble -
And the earlier we recognise it the better.
This is not the time for politics or blind sycophancy disguised as patriotism. This is the time for honest sincere conversation with ourselves as a people.

How can we actually fix this country?
