Ace comedian, I Go Dye or I Go Die, has said that Nigerian workers are the most used people in the world yet being paid less than $50 (18,175) monthly.

The social commentator said that compared to what workers in other parts of the world earn, Nigerian workers earn little with the high cost of living.

I Go Dye was reacting to the ongoing debate for an increase in minimum wage proposed by the Nigeria Labour Congress.

In a lengthy post on his Instagram page, the comedian made a listicle of what some country earn to the meagre salary earned by Nigerians.

I Go Die noted that Nigerian legislators, Governors and ex-governors continue to receive sitting allowances even when they don’t seat.

He further said that Governors are entitled to security votes used at their discretion, meanwhile, Nigeria workers are treated with disdain.

Recall that WuzupNaija had reported that NLC had rejected the N22, 500 minimum wage recommended by the Nigeria Governors Forum, adding that an indefinite strike shall commence on November 6, 2018.

The President of the NLC, Ayuba Wabba, said this at a press conference in Abuja on Wednesday.

“NIGERIA WORKERS ARE THE MOST USED WORKERS IN THE WORLD, OTHER COUNTRIES WORK PER HOUR, WHILE NIGERIAN WORKERS WORK FROM 8AM –4PM AND YET THEY ARE PAID LESS THAN $50 MONTHLY.

When I proposed to Federal Government 2017 Logic and Reason without guns. Here we are today still deliberating on it.

Minimum wage is an Insult to our pride as a Nation
When you evaluate what is obtainable across other countries even in Africa or elsewhere as minimum wage.

1. Nigeria – $38 (N18,000).
2. Algeria – $175 (N83,000).
3. Belgium – $1,738 (N810,000).
4. Cameroun – 36, 270CFA ($75) N38,000.
5. Chad – $120 (N60,000).
6. Denmark – $1,820 (N900,000).
7. Libya – $430 (N190,000).
8. Japan – $1000 (N350,000).
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.

What is the strength of a nation if not it’s workforce and the youths? If Nigeria politicians receive #18,000 will they be killing themselves to get to the office?

Unfortunately, the youths and workers have suffered terribly in the hands of the politicians more than ever before. Even with the high cost of essential commodities, fuel increment and high tariff of electricity and telecommunications services, the average Nigerian workers have continued to be treated like begging orphans in the land of honey.

In a country when legislators, Governors and ex-governors Continue to receive sitting allowances even when they don’t seat. while the Governors are entitled to security votes that is used at discretion, they all have agreed to treat the Nigeria workers with disdain.

If the Governors cannot pay workers minimum wage as advocated by NLC let them resign and allow those that can pay take up their job.

They all continue to collect their entitlements while the Nigerian workers are neglected to their fate. This is the right time to address the issue.

Let every Nigeria with a conscience please add their voice to this injustice that has made the lives of many families to suffer. #Minimumwageiskilling.”
