Bank staff – ₦‎60k

They already count more than enough money every day. Why would they ever need more?

Politicians – ₦‎33k

If they really want to be public servants, they should lead by example and collect a minimum wage. It’s the least they can do.

Barbers –  ₦‎1 million

They can literally mess up your look for the next month. You definitely don’t want to mess with their pay.

Policemen – ₦‎500k

Let’s pay them well enough that it won’t even occur to them to stress us whenever we meet them on the road.

Teachers – ₦500k

Do you really want to underpay the people responsible for ensuring your child’s future is bright? Do you want to pay for a low-current future?
