I can conjecture that practically every household in london has drinkable water and a Tolilet bowl which is number 6 of the uN sustainable development goal.nearly 100 milion nigetians are exposed to contaminated water. Water is life! 40 milion Nigerian defecating in the open.
Then there is the the london living wage which is about 10.50 pounds an hour not for the whole of UK because the standards of living are different.Nigeria cam learn from this
What is a living wage? According to the living wage foundation " it is about the choices and opportunities that you need to participate in society"
This includes having a hair cut or hair dressing. I learn many men in nigeria can no longer afford to visit the Barber because it has become too expensive for hhem
Nigeria needs to calculate the living wage for all her regions and then grow the economy towards paying the living wage.
How do you calculate living wage.? You use focus groups. Rich or poor who would agree on what is a minimum standard of living. For instance you need to pay rent, have nutritious meal s three square meals ,a smartphone, transportation fare ,ticket to the cinema etc from these the minimum wage is calculated. Nigeria can borrow from this rather than putting forward arbitrary figures as minimum wage.
