HOW DID WE GET HERE AS A NATION ?
Some figures completely bursting my head this morning.
.
Nowadays, we see 'billions' brandished on the pages of the dailies and it's beginning to feel like a norm.
.
By way of putting this into proper perspective, let's just assume you (the average Nigerian worker) receive(s) N40,000 monthly...even though you & I know millions of Nigerians live below a dollar / day (which is a meager 6k per month). But please, let's just stick with the 40k monthly.
That means at the end of 2 years, we would have to 'dash' you 40k for you to have N1million - provided you don't touch your original earning at all. No transportation! No feeding! No recharge card! No house rent! NOTHING!!!
.
So to make N1billion, the average worker would have had to deal with 2000years of daily hustle + boring routines + nagging bosses + difficult colleagues and more.
.
Yes! Make no mistake.
40,000 x 12 months = 480,000
480,000 x 2000years = 960,000,000 (not up to a billion).
.
...& our politicians now loot in billions.
How did we get here as a nation ?? ...where politicians who steal in millions are now seen as 'petty thieves'?
.
...just my #RandomkrAzyThots this morning..
