Picture this. Nigeria 1972 there was a guy called General Yakubu Gowon, he was the head of state of Nigeria.

There was another guy called Chief Jerome Udoji. One day The General said. Listen Udoji, Nigeria has too much money we don't know what to do with it. What do you think we should do? Udoji said, Let's share the money. First, we must increase the salary of all civil servants even doubling some of them and pay out huge one time bonuses.

The general said. great idea. After that. The farmers, traders and others started to complain because they didn't get salary increase so they increased their market price of goods and services. Therefore, hyperinflation was created and everybody blamed the Igbos.

Then the value of the money started falling.

Fast forward 2018, a young politician came up and say Listen I will pay N100,000 minimum wage when I am elected. Then lots of young people who don't understand economics starts to hail and clap their hands.

Me, I couldn't resist, so I write a small post because most of the children hailing now where not born in 1972 yet. He who doesn't know his history will always repeat past mistakes.

While I don't necessarily support Sowore's pay increase idea, what about the jumbo pay that our Sinators are paying themselves? Nigeria's economy hasn't crashed over their preposterous jumbo pay na. Or are your saying the Sinators are doing something more spectacular and better than the average Nigerian worker? Just asking o.

Interesting.


100k cant be realistic. Maybe 50k

Because if you pay level 1 100k, do you know what it will amount to in level14?

Enough of all these stupid idiots who are not in any way different from Buhari and his political crooks...

We see people shouting sai baba, Atiku, Sowore et al. 2019. Nobody is asking these aspirants for their blue print on the economy. We need to check the IQ of these folks.
