I have heard stories of people being owed salaries in arrears (upwards of 6 months) especially civil servants.

How will this fit into the picture?

\

my guy no be lie, d day I hate atm was d day i breeze in a boutique to window shopping but I don't no how it happened that in d end I saw myself spend 27k via pos. I was so furious when I realized myself.

you are very correct bro... i had a very similar experience too
then,
i realised that saving money or cutting down cost is not the problem, but securing it... that was when i came up with
the idea of having an account that i wont really have "access" to, and its really helping me

Uhmm. So tell me more. How does it work? I vowed never to do e-war anymore because it demeans a person. If not, I would have engaged you in a highly cerebral discourse to verify your Indian University claims, and their admission protocols; because I believe we live in a small world, so no man should cash in on the frustration and desperation of others. When I see people trying to do so, it brings out the advocate in me. Just be a person of integrity and fortune will smile on you.

Data consumption...... I understnd dis aspect very well. Internet users seem to spend much on data purchase but with this offer am bringing ,am very sure there will be a reduction in the amount spent on data subscription...




Seeth thou a man that is diligent in his business

Purchase ur MTN 1gig plan for 1200. Contact - 07062027524. Sms/ whatsapp.

Everyday I resolve sme data related issues ranging from can't browse,deduction of airtime while browsing nd step by step configuration of mobile devices due to the nature of my Job nd experience in telcom.

I am open for complaints nd enquiries as I will assist u resolve whatever difficulty u maybe currently experiencing on ur Mtn sme data share or difficulty in browsing, step by step configuration of all devices etc.


Am an sme data share agent. Am a risk taker,I will take the risk of sending ur desired data while u send me a 1200 airtime on confirmtion.
D truth is this, non of the people u see advertising 1gig for 1k sells at that price. D story u get is d promo has just ended nd even if u get it, it comes with less than 28days validity after hours of wait.



I operate just like mtn extra time service were u borrow nd payback.

Put me to any test even if u eventually dont av in mind of buying, u will be very convinced of my honesty.

Its risky for me but let me take the risk.

Check my signature.

In addition,
1. Make sure you have a dedicated account for savings, separate from your normal saving account (s);
2. Make sure you don't have quick access to the account, quick access like ATM, Internet banking etc.
3. If your bank forces the ATM card on you, collect it, and destroy it, or visit third mainland bridge and dump it into the lagoon grin cheesy grin






Come back and thank me later....



this is the best advice ever!!!!!!!

Rapmoney:
We all love it when we get an alert from the bank, or a client pays us. It’s a good feeling, right? But then it all starts flying out of your hands. Where does the money go? We all have necessary expenses. There are things we can’t quite get away from paying for. These include school fees and healthcare. However, there are some expenses that we have control over.

1) Motor Insurance

Third party car insurance is required in Nigeria. Yes, Nigerians, we’re looking at you. Complete motor insurance isn’t a requirement, although this can be a good idea. What’s the difference? Third party insurance will only cover damage to the other person’s car or property in the event of an accident. Complete motor insurance will cover your own car too. To save money on rates for either type of insurance, it is good to shop around. Be sure to get quotes from several different insurance companies. To compare apples to apples, be sure to give the same information to all the insurers.

2) Gas Costs

There is not much you can do about the cost of gas in Nigeria. The difference in price between gas stations is not always significant. Between regulation by the government, fuel scarcity and price fixing, it’s a hard life out there for car owners. It is also rare for a Nigerian company to permit work from home, although it can’t hurt to ask (if it makes sense for your role). Some people have reported saving money by combining errands. This requires planning, especially in a business setting. Others choose to share a ride with colleagues to save money.

3) Mobile Phones and Data Plans

Check out your phone costs for the last three months. The majority of mobile phone users in Nigeria are on prepaid phone plans. Can you estimate what you spent on airtime and data?

•     Are you paying too much or too little for your data plan? For most telecommunications operators, you get cheaper data if you pay a higher amount. Looking at Etisalat, you can get 50 MB of data for N500 (N10/MB). Alternatively, you can get 500 MB for N2,000 (N4/MB). If you can afford to pay more at the start, your data costs will be cheaper per megabyte. If you run a business, be sure to compare providers to check out the best price for internet services for the company.

•     Text messages have become cheaper in recent years (N4 instead of N10 or N15). However, if you already have a data plan, messaging apps like BBM, 2go and Whatsapp can be used to send messages for no extra cost. Free is better than N4 any day!

4) Grocery and Food Bills

Eating out every day can get expensive. Look for decent food that is affordable and within your budget. Save the fancy hotels and eateries for an important business lunch or a special occasion (and not for every day lunch).

Some people are able to bring lunch to work or school. This is definitely more cost effective than eating out every day (We realize that this is not feasible for everyone, especially if your lunch consists of perishable food and there is nowhere to store it.)

Take advantage of specials and discounts for lunch and groceries when available

For groceries that you know you use a lot, buy in bulk where available.

5) Save Money on Purchases

There are many purchases that are unavoidable. However, do what you can to ensure that you are getting the best price on the item. You have to do some comparison shopping to see what that price is. Caveat – comparison shopping works best when comparing identical or similar items. Where can you compare prices in Nigeria?

General ecommerce retailers such as Konga and Jumia

Niche ecommerce retailers such as Gloo (for groceries)

Price comparison websites in Nigeria such as PriceCheck and NgPriceHunter

Physical stores in your area

Your network of friends and family

although that shouldn't make you dress like akuebe nkotonko, I'm only saying you should rather buy quality OK than visiting boutiques on a 20k salary wink
At douglas owerri you will get quality ok for even 100 naira,even boutique owners do come to there to select
