I call this The Painful but true Analysis of incomes from here and there. this analysis should make you want to do what is needful. It is always unreasonable until we take out time to do a thorough and indepth analysis.I'm aware that someone right after reading this will say this analysis is too ideal to be true but take your time and do it, you will grasp the crux.
Let's roll...
Divide your SALARY by 30 days and see what you get (i.e. the number of days in a month and see the funny thing about your salary plan).
For example,
(1) An average level-12 worker in the state government civil service earns N60,000.
** And this translates to N60,000÷30= N2,000 every day. This is LESS THAN the amount made daily by an AVERAGE HAWKER in the city.
(2) A freshly EMPLOYED GRADUATE BANKER in most NIGERIAN BANKS earns an average of N120,000 monthly. So everyday, you get N120,000÷30= N4,000 as the daily value for your work-life. By implication, this is LESS THAN the amount earned DAILY by an AVERAGE DRIVER in d city and in some villages.
(3) If you are a FRESH GRADUATE EMPLOYEE in an oil companies, you earn an average of N300,000 monthly. So in a day your WORK-VALUE is N300,000 ÷ 30= N10,000. This is LESS THAN the daily amount earned by an IRRIGATION FARMER supplying vegetables to Lagos MARKETS, a TIPPER CAR DRIVER supplying sand for three BLOCK INDUSTRIES and CONSTRUCTION SITES just 3 times a day and DRIVERS of DANGOTE TRUCKS who have bought off the trucks at scrap value and are using them to convey products between villages and the cities for just five business owners.
Wait, that's not where I am going... The irony is...
When there is an ISSUE in the FAMILY that requires FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, the DRIVERS, HAWKERS and the rest are looking up to you with a WHITE COLLAR JOB.(4) If you are an NYSC MEMBER, you DON'T need to be told that N19,800÷30 = N660 and by implication, that is your worth on a daily basis.
I hope you know that PURE WATER SELLERS who own a shop, a pepper soup joint and a small TOYOTA COROLLA car to distribute pure water to five restaurants earn MORE THAN you & WHEEL-BARROW PUSHERS working on contract for three warehouses probably make MORE MONEY than you EACH DAY.
What do you say when a wheelbarrow pusher that needs little or no training earns more than a university graduate who invested an average of 17years of his/her life learning about the reproductive organs of Grasshopper. Wake up my dear!
Wake up and be more productive. We should be more proactive, create room for more income and strive to diversify our streams of income. The earlier you wake up and smell the coffee, the better for you. STOP waiting for the Government to feed you, feed yourself and help the Government feed others. That is where we are in this age.
