The economic situation in the country leaves a lot to be desired. Jobs are scarce and money scarcer still. To make matters worse, Nigeria’s minium wage sucks. This allows employers to offer employees any kind of salary they please.

Lol..the reply below this tweet is funny! If only they understand that a lot of Nigerians do more work for less pay monthly.

Mad as a hatter
Y’all a lazy bunch
But really, why would a jobless, inexperienced person turn down a job because of small salary? Proud, lazy f**kers all over the place.

This is one reason some people reject certain jobs. There won't be time to search for better opportunities while you're stuck on same level. pic.twitter.com/PVKs9W223G

Jaja the CEO
Let’s check that
CEOs often take less/no salary at first. If you can't afford to hire people then don't. The solution is not to grossly underpay them https://t.co/nszEnQqtIx

Look if your business can't even afford to pay you, you have no business adding other people to your struggle
