well, first off, im not talking the typical island woman woman who shops at shoprite, but the av woman who isnt necessarily poverty stricken but is just average.

can you guys give me average numbers, was having a discussion with my dad in naija and i live overseas, just wanna shed some light on this subject.

thanks.

Why? are you looking to keep a woman?

lol, maybe, , but seriously can you give me some numbers please.
thanks

Where is this woman located so I can give you numbers But why are you keeping her? is it because she asked or you are just doing it because of the loff you have for her?

Mine would be

150 euros a month (clothes, shoes, bags and jewelries excluded)

My man dey thank God every day, cos I be low maintenance, Say 30,000.00 naira.  

lets say someone living in Lagos for starters.    and btw, its not a girl im keeping in nigeria,  besides, im yet to meet a girl in nigeria that would intrigue me enough to move in that direction; especially after all the stuff i ve read on this msg board! lol!

I am there too.

It depends on the country you're based in.

100k. (Naira)

wow, you guys sure love this topic! , well i thank you all for the responses so far ladies, though the lady that wrote $100k, hmm i said average woman,
does the average woman in lagos earn 100k a month? mind you the key word here is average, that is av all the coconut sellers, breadhawkers, market women, bankers, etc,
you get my drift.

I did not write $100K ooo! I put Naira in brackets!

200-350K. Excluding dates bills,  transport fare to meet you, hotel/travel bills and other miscellaneous bills.

Do I have to calculate all that too? Then the bill go rise ooo.

From 150,000 naira down.

yes i know you meant naira, thats what i was refering to , av woman spending  100k naira a month?? even though i can see it being possible if you have to have a lot of things to make you comfortable in nigeria cos these things do come at a hefty price in nigeria. but i think most people would find these things unnecessary,
for example while vacationing in naija for about three months i ran out of things like body wash, lotions, cologne and stuff, and i went to the mart to replace these things and geez, it was like 3x the price there!  so while i could afford it since i was only there temporarily, i just dont see it being practical to use all these things on a regular basis , unless of course one earns a couple hundred thousad a month,

currently

325,000naira inc rent and shit!

@ebonyeyes, lolol!  just one question, do you have the looks to back that up? if you look like keri hilson, then we re in business,

I don't know sha but it's hard to imagine someone spending any less than 100K. That's only £385 per month. Have you considered rent, fuel, etc?

wow, if the average person spends nothing less than 100k, how much is the av person earning in lagos/? has to be at least double that then, i dont know O! you re probably refering to the elite, not the av person.
i mean when i was in nigeria, a friend of mine worked as a teacher and was making just 25k a month, and i consider him average, so what am i missing?

elite??

think u got the meanin wrong bruv

the elite dont even spend on essentials

they just gasta parrrtaaaay

Yes all those other costs have to be factored in

What are you saying here? Do you mean non-dime looking chicks shouldnt be treated right?

Babake2000, stop posting this everywhere!!!

hmm i have not lived in naija for a long time, but i wld say 40k a month will be just right for an average chick. Now for we elite chicks, hmmmm that's another story

Nepa!!! I beta go "i pass my neihbour" at all cost. How much den dey sell am now? Any help?

So average looking girls get paid for up keeps too?    Wonders shall never end sha. I thought that right was reserved for only the good looking ones amongst them .

well eboneyes, its unfortunate but thats the reality of this world we live in, better looking women tend to be able to attract the best. not saying av looking women cant attract me who are willing to spend on them, but its just based on the laws of nature, you can even see that in mating habits of animals! and yes, i know we are not just animals but instinctively men are attracted to better looking women, and money tends to make men more attractive to women! dont belive me look at jay z and little wayne.!

Haha not disagreeing with you

I think N50,000 will do just fine.

there is nothing like average woman it's either rich or poor. that's the word the politicians uses in deicieving the folks.
