How accurate?
'Occasionally, out of the blues a Nigerian university offers me a teaching job.
I look at the monthly salary and it is generally about $2000 a month. I cannot meet my financial obligations with that. But in Nigeria apparently that sum is a big deal.
In Nigeria the minimum wage is about $60 a month.
The entire Nigerian federal budget is $27 billion dollars a year. This is about the budget of the University of California.
Alaska with a population of less than a million people has a budget of over $10 billion dollars a year.
Nigerians ought to start appreciating their country's poverty and talk realistically about it. '
Cheers, Ozodiobi
