So I used one of my friend salary as an example, who worked in the federal tertiary institution, with a salary of N150,000 after tax..

This is what WhatsApp AI brought out, is this what my friend will earn.

Mind you he has been complaining and praying they increase their money...

It doesn't work that way. The percentage increment is not linear across board. The marginal increase decays up the ladder.

The percentage increment is not linear across board. I assumed same approach when minimum wage was raised from 18 to 30k. But I was shocked to notice the increase almost did not alter my salary, just a difference of about 32k. That's why I don't bother myself. When it comes, I will know how much was increased. The formula for calculation is decided by the accountant general before dispatching the memo to ministries and parastatals.

That WhatsApp calculation is mathematically incorrect.

From ₦30k to ₦70k is 133% (1.33) increment viz:
30k + (1.33x30k) =₦70k

If same %increment is applied across board:
₦150k will now earn:
150k + (1.33x150k) =₦350k

However in reality, same percentage increment will not be applied across board. Higher grades will definitely be less.

So don't be surprised if someone who was previously earning 150k now earns 200k which is 30% increment.

Oh, thank you for the insight, I guess parastatal also play a role in the increament

Nawa ooo, so we that worked in private company and earn higher are even better...

The only thing that makes them better is because of job security.

I wish they can also add wages to this increament to augument for it, because I know that now that food seller knows that salary have been increased, they might also hijacked their prices...

Stop relying on meta AI for mathematical calculations. If you ask META AI the same question again, it will give you a different answer

The calculation doesn't tally, but the ones to enjoy the new minimum wage are junior staff

Imagine your salary was 50k before and minimum wage is #30,000
Now new minimum wage is increased to #70,000

Your new salary is


#70,000 + #20,000 accrued on top of your #30,000 before as a result of promotion and increase in step level

New salary
#70,000 + #20,000
#90,000

Note, this will maintain a law of diminishing returns as higher salary earners salary won't be affected much in the increment

I pick this saying from somewhere and its a saying from Baron Rothchild, that the best time to buy is when the nation bleeds, and that it doesn't matter if the blood is yours. My interpretation: when things are very tough, the best place to look is to bleed yourself to invest in your future.

Sorry I'm an advocate of productivity. So, if this windfall will drop somehow, never get carried away by any momentary relieve it might bring. Instead, invest in your future. Think of any productive or production-based business, not consumer-based business that puts you as the middleman to bleed the nation and yourself at the long run.

No amount of money is ever enough. Think productively, at the very end, you will find an answer.

I thought the idea is "Minimum" wage and not Minimum % Increase?

From how i understand these things, only those earning less than 70,000 should be bumped up to 70,000 minimum wage.

Rely on your brain to fact check whatever AI or Google search is given to you.

Hope you are not one of those that believed IKEJA is "Ikorodu Epe Joint Administration "

Many students fail without fact checking these stuff

CONTISS, CONUASS, CONRAISS, CONTOPSAL, CONPSS, CONMESS, CONHESS, CONJUSS, CONPASS etc.

You can check them to know how different grade and level salary differs across board

Very correct....those earning 1m cant expect 133 percent increase.
