The Nigerian government/politicians have mastered the act of manipulating Nigerians, and let's face it, Nigerians are not that hard to manipulate because we are easily impressed by minor things.
Buhari ruined this country and made it unbearable for people. The inflation rate was too much because of the way he handled (if you can call it that) the country, then he increased the minimum wage and people applauded him as if he had done something great.
Tinubu came and made the country an even hotter hell, then increased the minimum wage by over 100 percent and people applauded him. He would likely use that to campaign for reelection, and foolish Nigerians will vote for him again.
What if this politicians are placed on minimum wage?
What do you think will be the effects of that on the nation?
What difference would that do? Do they even care about their salaries? Have you seen the basic salary of the president, senators and the governors? They know that the money they steal is way more than their salary. Haven't you ever wondered why the presidential form is at N100 million while the annual salary is not up to N15 million? The governorship form is N50 million, while their annual salary is around 10 million. If you put them on minimum wage salaries, they would only steal more than they already do, which would make things worse.
