After the recent increase in fuel price, Nigerians have been really uncomfortable because the cost of goods have become more expensive as expected.
However, the most annoying part is that this new fuel price doesn’t come with an increase in minimum wage. This means that the masses are expected to bear the consequences while top government officials continue to earn fat salaries.
Twitter user, Timigod, got inspired by this particular tweet and created an app that directs tweets to the Nigerian senate, demanding reduction of their salaries.
Nigerian senators currently earn roughly 40 times the standard minimum wage. If the government has to take strict economic measures, all Nigerians including politicians should be involved.

Nigerian photographer, Wale Ariztos, who lives in Washington DC shut down the streets of New Orleans for his wife’s 30th birthday, Nigerian style of course.
His wife, Lola, who turned 30 over the weekend was surprised when Wale brought a carnival procession escort them from the hotel to the restaurant where the birthday dinner took place.
Wale practically threw a big Owambe style party for her and it was too lit!
This just shows how Nigerians are the greatest party animals in the world.
