Its a pathetic situation in Nigeria these days as most people now resort to trekking to their destinations as opposed to taking public transport. This is a country where the minimum wage is less than $40 a month. Prices of food and all other stuff have also risen and the poor are being chocked to death on daily basis. What annoys people most is that the lawmakers of the country are the highest paid in the world.

Government officials always vote themselves raises instead of helping the poor. I'm sorry that is happening there.

Exactly the reason the Labour Union is going on strike.

The labour organization wants the government to increase minimum wage, instead the government is proposing some pallatives like giving people $10 every month, which si ridiculous.

That is quite pathetic, and I am sorry to hear that. I cannot imagine the frustration.
