I want to believe that the OP is an employer of labour in Lagos, if this is TRUE, the question is how many of his/her workers earn 130k a month. My friend, an HND and PGD holder who works in Dangote Industries, I mean the company owned by the richest blackman on earth earns less than 70k a month and he's surviving with his 3 kids and a wife, a UNILORIN trained educationist who earns just 20k in a private school in Lagos. That lady must be a PhD holder to have secured a 130k lecturing job as a fresher self, average wage in Lagos is far lower than that, cheers! 1 Like |

what a question! 130k is not amount to be delibrated on.if well spent,she will still have savings of not less than 30k a month.even guys that go clubing and stil womanize spend 100k monthly and still live a decent and normal life.she should stay back in queen's land and look for 5000 pounds pay a month. |

@ Op abi na him sister, some of us were trained in school down to the university level from a combined salary of less than 100K from both parents.We were fed well and other sundry responsibilities were met by our parents, So, for a single lady that money should be more than enough for you in Lagos and with good savings by the side too. 1 Like |

Yes irrespective of where you stay. Use small generator (650-1000 watts) eat home cooked meals at least 2ce daily, Change her vehicle to a not more than 1.6 litre engine, Subscribe to startimes, internet and phone calls less than 8 k monthly better to even be on bb, choices of dress based on neatness, fitting and anyother thing rather than to impress cost wise, and behave like someone just starting life at least for 1 year. She should be having and average of 35k savings monthly. |

Smdh! So many Nlanders said some peeps they know earn an average of 55k and yet can survive with a family of 4! Damn. I won't buy into that. Have you guyz considered 4x4 maintenance and proximity to work place? I mean, you drive 4x4 to office of about 40km daily round trip, you pay rent of 15k monthly (won't believe a returnee from uk with 4x4 would leave in a shanty of 15k in Lagos! Not in Ilesha ba) and still you wanna survive on 55k! Oh please abeg talk something attainable. @op, on 130k monthly you can still manage to keep afloat without begging. It would take self discipline and God's grace for you to have some personal savings from this take home.. Goodluck.  |

Cuzz: remember that many live in slums in UK,so let her tell us wat she earns and her monthly savings after tax in UK. There are à lot of people who will take d nxt available flight to Lagos frm UK to grab the job,nt all that glitters are gold.. What you call slums in the UK is what is highbrow in Lagos. All the so-called UK slums have 24-hour water and light, family doctor a few blocks away, a major hospital with A & E within a couple of miles at most and all treatment completely free. Your kids can also have free education and still get some change as child benefit weekly. In the event of a medical emergency, an ambulance should reach you under 10 minutes. Not saying Europe is paradise BUT the system works here, not Naija where a few privileged people come to brag about how rich are or how they flex. Oh Michael Chinda has just been flown abroad, obviously those who can afford it have no faith in anything in Naija. No amount of superficial display of patriotism while embezzling money wherever you can is able to disguise it. Now to the topic: that chick should save up and buy an appartment in Lagos first. Unless she has a PhD and she can progress to a higher position/pay after some years of work experience. 1 Like |

[size=14pt]Thanks for all your comments and reactions, etc. The baby of the family is returning to Nigeria from the UK because following the successful completion of her PhD, she has so far not been able to land a suitable job. Far too many PhDers chasing the same jobs in and out of the academia. Besides, she has no Indefinite or Permanent Leave to Remain visa stamp on her passport, which currently makes it difficult for non-EU citizens to secure jobs. More importantly, her visa is fast running out, and she's not going to break any immigration rules.[/size] 1 Like |

Erelu_Y: Our baby of the family is returning to Lagos from the UK and the lecturing job on offer pays around ₦130,000 per month. Can a single person used to UK lifestyle survive on this income in today's Lagos? If so, how? She's not extravagant but lives a basic, decent lifestyle: no partying, clubbing, etc, (her only weakness is she likes and does have a nice 4 x 4 which suits Naija's bad roads), just a typical acada girl. Your contributions would be highly appreciated. Thanks.Ofcourse shhe will. Why wont she..... I used to earn abt that during the IBPLC days..... and trust me... I had enuf to stilll flirt with Amaka and Tani. She jst has to plan herself. Yu knw work takes away ur weekdays...so aside fuel u dnt spend a lot. So she shd be able to save a 45k monthly....till she starts selling textbooks to students  |

Na wa oh...The baby of the house and already a Phd Holder and you still want us to be taking decisions for her? Well is she going to be eating a full COW every month? If YES...then that 130k is just about the amount of a matured cow oh...But If NO...and maybe if she prefers something within the size of Bonga/Dry fish..then she should be able to cope well with the 130k/month. |

i think she should get a house close to where she wanna teach. that way she can save herself the cost of fueling that car..If her work place is close to ikeja, i will suggest she rent a mini flat at gowon estate. here there is 22hours light .I havent ran my gen since i came in here 2 years ago.That amount will be okay for her is she is prudent.Again good security unlike were i leaved at okooba where robbers drove me away.Again she can lecture in other schools too to add up to her salary. i have lecturers in my school that does that and they have family with them. |

Plus, she is the baby of the house of a family that we dont know how large or how wealthy.

I was going to suggest Australia/Canada/US (if she was a British national). Just to get some post-doc experience maybe in a reputable lab (assuming she's a scientist). It's very important to get some international post-doc stuff these days. Young PhDs do it here and many later secure good UK jobs from abroad and return. Never underestimate the power of networking in the academic community. On a lighter note, last year a friend of mine was looking for a nice lady to settle down with. That would have sorted the ILR issue being a British-born Naija-bred eko boy. He's a nice well-educated and a very academic kinda guy. He has hooked up with one acada chick since. |
