The comment, “If you work as a cleaner in Nigeria, until you kpai you don’t own a plot of land,” underscores the economic struggles faced by many low-wage workers. Cleaners, despite their essential role, often earn wages that barely cover basic needs, let alone long-term investments like land ownership.
This statement reflects systemic issues—such as low pay, lack of financial support, and rising costs of living—that trap workers in cycles of poverty. Instead of dismissing their aspirations, the focus should shift to advocating for fair wages, accessible housing schemes, and policies that empower all Nigerians to achieve financial stability.
