A Nigerian lady on twitter has shared a piece of her mind on the way Nigerian graduates are being treated in the country as being unfair.

The lady said she earned about 9,000 naira fifteen years ago as a secondary school leaver and later earned 55,000 naira 11 years ago while noting that the prices of goods and services have increased up to 5 or six times of what was obtainable then and wondered how Nigerian graduates cope, collecting 18,000 naira as teachers in today.

In her exact words, I quote:

"Fifteen years ago, that was in 2005 precisely, I got a job as a fresh secondary school leaver in the public sector and my initial salary was a little bit above 9,000NGN. I wasn't really satisfied because my colleagues who worked with other private firms earned between 10,000NGN to 15,000NGN.

My salary increased steadily until I started earning around 17,000NGN, still as a secondary school lever even though I had gotten my diploma but not yet upgraded. Eventually, I left the public sector for the banking industry and got paid 55,000NGN. That was eleven years ago.

During those years I was earning about 9,000 naira, I could shop for my food monthly with about 4,000 Naira, deduct my transport fare for staff bus, which was about 100 naira daily, multiplied by 21 working days, that was about 2,100 Naira, deduct my tithe and still had some money left in my account for other stuffs. The money wasn't okay for me then but I could manage it.

Fifteen years after, it baffles me seriously to learn that Nigerian GRADUATES earn 18,000 naira monthly as teachers. It takes a very serious magic to manage such an amount of money because I can categorically tell you that prices of foodstuffs and transportation have increased up to 5 - 6 times of what we had then. How are they coping?"

This is exactly a cause to worry about because parasitism and prostitution may be their coping mechanism.

We don't earn much as teachers,yet we have joy in our hearts which money cannot buy.

So in M.I
