Why Daniel Bwala’s ₦60k vs £2,600 Claim Hurts Young Nigerians
A few days ago, the senior presidential media adviser said a Nigerian earning ₦60,000 here is better off than one earning £2,600 in the UK. I study patterns in people, and Daniel Bwala’s record shows he shifts his views to suit his situation. He lived and worked in the UK before his appointment, yet his wife and children still live in Reading. A man whose family chose the UK shouldn’t preach against opportunities abroad. Our system rewards connections over merit. Many low-grade graduates hold sensitive roles because they know someone. Meanwhile, Nigerians earning ₦100,000 a month struggle to save, but relatives abroad can easily send support. Nigeria is not for every young professional. If you’re creative, intelligent and lack the “right” connections here, don’t let anyone discourage you from seeking greener pastures. You might regret staying when age and responsibilities catch up.
