Countries with highest minimum wage in the world in 2019 (see full list)

With the recently signed N30,000 minimum wage bill into law by President Muhammadu Buhari, followed by the gradual implementation of same by some state governors, Legit.ng gathers the list of countries in the world with the highest average wage for 2019.

It is quite sad that Nigeria does not make the cut of 37 countries with better minimum workers' pay even though the implemented wage bill was widely celebrated.

Recall that Legit.ng earlier reported that the Oyo state governor-elect, Seyi Makinde, said the state cannot pay the new national minimum wage of N30,000 just signed into law by President Buhari.

Makinde on Wednesday, May 1, said the federal governments should have allowed states to negotiate the new minimum wage for their workers as the condition of living varies from state to state.

The governor-elect told reporters in Abuja after attending the induction programme for returning and newly elected governors that he intends to negotiate with the Oyo state branch of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) because the state could not afford to pay the amount.

Legit.ng also previously gathered that Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra showed his unending commitment towards the implementation of the new N30,000 minimum wage in the state.

Obiano gave the reassurance during the 2019 Workers’ Day celebration which took place at Ekwueme Square, Awka on Wednesday, May 1, with the theme, “Another 100 years of struggle for Jobs, Dignity and Social Justice in Nigeria".

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier. At the simplest and basic level, the cultural mandate of possessing a people’s piece of the earth involves a mental and emotional homecoming within the physical environment. Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,
