Isaac Fayose has slammed Reno Omokri over his recent comparison of fuel prices and living costs in Nigeria and the United Kingdom.
Reacting to Reno’s remarks, Fayose argued that comparing expenses in both countries without taking workers’ earnings into account was misleading.
“Reno Omokri is not as smart as I thought. Comparing the cost of fuel and shaving in Nigeria to the cost of fuel in the UK is not smart thinking,” he said.
Fayose also pointed to the huge gap in minimum wages between the two countries, stressing that the comparison did not reflect the economic realities Nigerians face.
“Minimum wage in Nigeria is 70k (£35) per month, while minimum wage in UK is £2500 (5 million) per month. Please what’s the sense in that?” he added.
He further mocked the former presidential aide, saying, “They don give you ambassador and they don lock your bra!n inside too.”
The exchange has sparked reactions online, as many Nigerians continue to debate the rising cost of living and whether comparing prices in Nigeria and the UK without considering income differences paints an accurate picture.
