'N50k per tipper ke!! Se na the normal tipper wey we know Abi na another one 😳 this is gross exploitation."
@agbe_ere noted:
'Normally in Nigeria the efforts and hardwork of the poor are always underpriced. Sha remember to sleep for atleast 8hrs everyday."
@stanleyjonas added:
"Somebody will spend more than that over just a meal at a spot this weekend. And yet another will break rocks almost the whole day with back breaking efforts just to make that amount in 30 days."
@Faithee_ijiga shared:
"The sad reality in Nigeria is that, 90% of employed citizens are paid 30% or less salary of their work value. Imagine being paid N30 for a job of N100. But that is the case in Nigeria."
@jatoo2k said:
"There's this tale about a professor of mechanical engineering whose neighbour is a widow that manually breaks stones to feed her children. This are things that small machinery could've handled for her but our Profs are busy with politics and rigging elections for politicians."
@August10_10 added:
"Her palm will be very strong, it was in Jos I first saw women doing concrete work, asing women carry cement on the head and climbing upstairs, where I came from back then, na water women d fetch for building area."
@0xBenscrypto noted:
It’s not exploitation in anyway. These stones or in 2 classes - hand crushed and machine crushed. The hand crushed sells for around 65k from the tipper guys while the machine crushed is more expensive selling for around 150k or there about."
