Hmmmmmmm

My salary is well above the average but still it barely takes family of 6 to the next paycheck
we have too many kids, one reason poverty is endemic in Africa, if u had only 2 kids with ur wife that’s 4 , am sure u could easily provide with ur decent salary

Me i can't just understand what Nigeria economy is turning me into, the sales of goods i bought last month, is not the same i bought this month

The funniest part of the salary issue is just that, it can't even sustain for another month, by 4th of 7th of that month, after settling all bills, the remaining na just to dey yearn

Unfortunately no, the window for this is very small these days. Anybody that has a car would probably have 50 drivers chasing him to be selected.

Am not bragging

But Nigerians are becoming annoying

When we are fighting to make Nigerian great by putting an end to tribalism and religion sentiments still you call us wailers

Not knowing we are pitying the poor people

And the funny thing is that the poor people are completely immersed in tribalism and religion sentiments

Sure, like any other business, there is a learning curve but demand still outstrips supply in large part and smart people know how to make money using the platform.

LadyRosa:
cheesy

Its not easy o, but I dey spread my tentacles everywhere.

Hubby just had a salary raise,thank God!
I'm a business woman/ entrepreneur and into anything wey go add change,so I be freelance agbero.

So, I get one small land for house wey I take dey rear domestic goats, 5 is heavy, like 4 Ewure dey down wey don dey smell iru iru, so meat no be my problem just incase babablu Bleep up SURELY! I go soon put knife for one throat wey just break one of my big bucket because him won 4ck him mama! angry

NA SO I call carpenter, him nack chicken cage that can take capacity of 50, i buy noiler and broilers DOC ,throw put,run light buy feed keep dey train them.The one wey to disturb I give am DOGOYARO, if e no survive ,good news for my bingo. Some i dey sell off because my hubby don begin call me broiler as my body don dey full.

I come still add Foreign turkey join 3 female one male.

As kerosene dey go up, I reason say charcoal too go go up, na so January wey every dry, I go village market see as sellers sit down dey look no customer. I priced one bag of charcoal 2700( something wey them dey sell 3500), na him I first carry 2 bags, then 1 week later another 3 bags)

So right now, gas dey, charcoal, dey, electric cooker dey. I like the charcoal self because he dey help my broilers stay warm.

I don book for one fulani woman to bring Fulani local fowls for me like 5 that one go just dey parade up and down dey born.Them dey tall fat, fulani fowl breed good die!

For the small land wey remain, I plant ugu, scent leave, egusi, waterleaf, okro, curry leaves.

I still rent another 100by50 call aboki last week to clear am then put ridges, so that place na for corn, then groundnut and beans. Another land wey person get for my side I won call the man weda him fit give me embarassed, I plan to put yam that side.

Last December, I travel 22, then on 26 wey I no say moto full ground as nobody dey return back na him me enter road back, so transport cheap die to carry foodstuffs.

My MIL no happy but I use style promise her say I go show Easter and I go dash her earring tongue

Na so I pack yams ehn! Omo I paid less than 5k to move this yams, I reach my base begin cut yam soak for water, as the harmattan wey enter February dry am, na so I grind, that one full rice bag(almost50kg).

So food no be problem!
Agbado still dey!

Before salah i wake go village market go buy tomatoes, As I buy the tomatoes na him I see shombo and tatchell wey heat cash small and the farmer just they select am, me just use style as the agbero wey I be price am, omo! I clear EVERY! UPGRADED AWALAWA. The onions wey rain beat wey go spoil before them but am for trailer, I clear almost half bag.

Na so I dey smell like fowl cage when I reach house.My husband don laugh tire dey shout " Which kind woman wey I marry?" " WHERE did you get all this from"!

Story...

I begin watch and cut onions o because na raining season we dey, I grind am, at the end of the day, na three custard medium sized bucket he full, the remaining I dash one of my stupid friend wey no gree get sense.

As for the tomatoes,shombo and tatashe, omo even if I get 5 children he go carry me reach 4 months. I have a double chest freezer so every xey well blocked.

So when my neighbours dey speak through their nose, dey complain how 100k no dey reach for one month for house runs, me go dey tap my feet, a bottle of chilled ogogoro for my front, I go follow them dey agree.
I no dey tell people wey dey form how to get sense.

Oh! I forget to add,
* whispers*

I dey buy firewood specially to dry up those UPGRADED BASKET OF FARM AWALAWA.
Una dey expect say make I use my gas or charcoal take dry full basket of tomatoes?I DEY MAD?!

I rather use the 'excess 'money buy one crate of Heineken put for fridge.

Wait na...hahaha

Make we show our wealth small na

Make we just display am small

Our environment we live
My TV alone will shock you


But still we comfortable individuals want every Nigerians to do away with tribalism and religion sentiments

But the poverty stricken individuals don't want to move forward

If you think am lying just go out there and do your research
You will find out that those supporting tinubu and immersed in tribalism are suffering

Okay no need to go out there and do your research

Make me and you do the competition
Am a sane Nigeria edo origin to be precise

Come down here in Edo and see my environment then we will also check your environment

My case is different, I gain 40k weekly, teaching foreigners a certain subject. I have a farm of watermelons, I manage about 30 acres of farmland owns by a medical Doctor oversea. In fact, this is my best year. I pray God will provide for others. There's a time I was earning 15k monthly but God changed my stories unimaginably.

I hope you haven't been milking him dry to make the year your best, as many Nigerians do

Cut down your expenses, don't impress anyone.
chrisdstar:
I can only but imagine how the average Nigerian is able to survive. I'm a medical doctor, I have 2 jobs, my basic salary in my main job is 250k, and I earn 150-200k from the second job (locum) depending on how many days I work there. But still, life isn't easy and this makes me wonder how Nigerians earning below 100k are able to survive.

Look for a side hustle to add to that. Perhaps a skill,trade. Except you want to remain a single.

I'm a crypto p2p trader and It's a skill I learnt, I tell you, I earn more than my salary sometimes.

He's not lying. There are places you can get one room with that price like Mpape. I know a friend who lives there and he paid that amount last year to rent a house. I was surprised when he told me he got a house with that amount.
