Top 10 countries with lowest minimum wage in 2019

The clamour for the increase in commitment towards the welfare of workers is not only in Nigeria. Workers around the world are always in constant demand for better work pay and conditions.

According to Nomad Capitalist, the increase in minimum wage has been a battle since the 19th century even as most economists of the world do not agree on how an increase in minimum wage directly improves the economy.

It is quite surprising to note that some countries with good economic growth rate still fall under the list of nations with very low minimum wage.

What is, however, of great interest is that Nigeria with its new N30,000 minimum wage, which most consider little in improving workers' welfare, does not make the top 10 countries with low minimum wage.

According to Nomad Capitalist, here are therefore top 10 countries with the lowest minimum wage in the world:

1. Venezuela (below $24)

2. Pakistan ($113)

3. Ukraine ($140)

4. Egypt ($174)

5. Albania ($210)

6. Malaysia ($233)

7. Iran ($261)

8. South Africa ($277)

9. Morocco ($310)

10. India

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.

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,
