The House of Representatives did the needful by passing the National Minimum Wage bill in record time, increasing it from N18,000 to N30,000. For a majority of workers in Nigeria, we actually gained nothing from this new minimum wage as it is not in any way exciting. One thing many do not know is that employers with less than 25 staff are not under obligation to pay the minimum wage. Any how one may look at it, that bill is anti-worker, no more, no less.

The heart provides the driving force — each contraction of the left ventricle, the heart's main pumping chamber, creates a wave of pressure that passes through all the arteries in the body. Relaxed and flexible arteries offer a healthy amount of resistance to each pulse of blood.
