This really unfair,this matter should have been critically dealt with when the economy was booming..who dares raise the issue of salary increament now?

Heading to Venezuela straight since they have the mega money

while I appreciate your post, I will be happy if you could add their respective population and their output per day to that your table.

People can like to post sh#t out of context. what is the population of those countries, how have they being governed? How much crude do we drill compared to this guyz.

The problem we have in Nigeria is that our leaders do not have good hearts, they are all after money..

What is the minimum wage in the USA with a higher population compared to Nigeria?...higher I suppose

Nigeria has the largest population,so you can not expect the wage bill to be any better,apart from Indonesia.

The USA is not an opec member,the topic is about opec member states and Nigeria has the largest population apart from Indonesia and what is our production and reserve like the other member it a simple maths.

oga,when the government is good, they are good.
A councillor in nigeria is earning almost 20 times a minimum wage plus other allowances talkless of governors,senators,ministers etc.Go the above listed countries do a small research about them if the are as corrupt has our leader or if the amass wealth foolishly like ours..we even defend them calling it all sort of names like witchhunting,revenge game etc.
The truth is that we have oil and it is in abundance,the rest is unacceptable excuse..

this is about a country using the available resources to cater for its citizens.
There are lots of countries in the world that doesnt have a quater of the resources we av in nigeria and are still doing way better...

Or are u saying if usa and china were to be opec members, they wont pay up to 18k?

I'm glad some people still have sense. Go and and check those opposing your view, I can bet my life they're the same people benefitting from the corrupt system.

Where are those idiots comparing Venezuela with Nigeria? Can you imagine how they are enjoying even in their own recession

why should your government depend only on Oil. Practice Federalism and see changes in Nigeria

that doesn't answer my question. stop quoting me if you don't know how to respond to comments.

A Nation in Recession, the Legislators' Remuneration is the highest in the World. What do you say? The highest single Loot of $321billion statched away from developing Nigeria by one mad Chadian immigrant who forged his way to become a General in Nigerian Military and an abominable Head of State in a Military coup. As a labor man, where were you when these were happening? Minimum Wage will be reviewed by our Legislature as part of the total package to amend the Constitution to grant Full Autonomy to the 36 States of the Country. NLC & TUC should henceforth ensure that there will be no more piece meal and sectional settlement of any issue again until the 36 States become fully autonomous. Then Minimum Wage will be handled by State Governments.

well said
i wish to could come as easy as you stated.

Even at 18k minimum wage... Over 75% of budget goes to paying salaries

As far as am concerned not more than 30% of budget should be used to pay salaries
If we want even 700k minimum wage no problem.. But we would have to reduce the work force to cope... That's the truth

Hypocrisy is when u complain that minimum wage of 18k is small but u have workers u pay 10k

Hmmm
