The standard of living now is hard compared to previous years, one can only save that amount if the PPA pays reasonable amount and if one has another part time.

How can a Corp member surive on 19800 first before talking of saving. House officers and medical interns receiving above 100k are waiting for allowee before month end, asking around for those they have transfused (received payment) and someone is saying saving from 19k. Please don't end up with ulcer or malnutrition saving from the meagre 19k

I'm a serving Corp member right now... The reality must be said.
I save 10k every month but believe me, its not part of the nysc allowee, how can you survive on 660 daily?
Won't you eat, board bike, take taxi, pay some dues, recharge, data? These are just the simple things that take the money away... imagine if you have to take some orijin by the weekend?

I only save 10k being paid by my ppa believe me, some months I spend both allowee!

At least a drop is #50 X2 a day = #100
At least feeding for a day = #400
Data and airtime for a day = #150

So you have #10 left every day?
Won't you do some laundry?
Send airtime to your........ and maybe family and friends?
Church nko?
CDS projects nko?

Kudos to you if you can save anything from NYSC allowee!


I am privileged to save more than 100k during my nysc in rivers state. I saved that I was able to buy a laptop for myself, though not new one but London use for around 63k. I also got home with almost 60k. My ppa was close to my house a little bit. So I take the stress to walk to the ppa daily and mind you, .y ppa not paying me.

1. ,


I think corps members should be paid NGN100k per month.


Even that won't be enough if 19800 is not. As you earn, so your standard of living increases! Money's never enough!

I wrote an article on saving during service
https://www.nairaland.com/4304138/mystery-savings-during-nysc-service
Mustack I see you sir. Thanks for quoting me
Now on the subject matter...
While there are countless ways to achieve the 10k savings, the following are compulsory principles to follow if you want to succeed.
1. DO NOT TAKE UP ANY POSITION OF LEADERSHIP!
You can't be a CLO or a CDS/Fellowship president and save 10k, when you only receive 19k. So if you want to save 10k, be a floor member everywhere
2. Stay single. This one is self explanatory
3. Do everything to stay in your PPA's lodge. Transport expenses will swallow your allowance trust me.
4. Cut down on your hobbies: Do you play football professionally? Are you a party animale? Do you like to visit new places? If you want to save 10k monthly, you have to find a 'domestic' source of happiness (LOL). Also, you have to avoid people who have such hobbies too. E.g That comment about drinking pap/kunu from morning till night. Yeah, befriend those type of people. If you can bear the misery you will save 10k
5. Have a reason in mind: Don't just save 10k because you feel like. Have a target or goal in mind. Don't do to yourself what the prodigal's son did to himself i.e have a shii ton of money and not know what to do with it.

You can at least save 3k inside the 19k. Think of it as one of your compulsory expenses. The way you allocate money for transport and food, allocate money to savings too. There's a sweet level of self discipline that you attain when you save. I use piggybank.ng too, it is a great way to save. Peace...

"TRUTH TIME"
Everybody, come here and let's discuss the truth.
Most Corp members would have a pre-plan that they will be saving 10k out of the #19,800 allowee during their service year and be spending the #9,800 to keep up.

If you are saving #10,000 every months and spending #9,800, in 11 months you would have SAVED:"#110, 000" and SPENT :"107, 800"

The issue now is saving that amount. Most people are only left with the last double allowee after POP.

The question is "What are the things making it so hard for Corp members to even save during NYSC year?

Please let's be realistic and open. God Bless you as you participate.



OP! I fear you oo. That's poverty of highest order, to live on 9800 naira which is not even up to $30 for 30 days? The 110,000 naira saved for a year can't even buy a Bajaj bike for high purchase business. Nigeria is indeed a shithole

It is not easy to save 10k monthly irrespective ofwhere u serve, it takes discipline to achieve this, & those staying in urban areas have almost no chance of saving 10k monthly. I am currently serving in ekiti state in ise orun lga. I can categorically tell u that those staying in d state capital Ado-ekiti hv no chance of saving at all. The cost of living there is very high. Me i subscribed for first bank insurance policy while in camp where i pay 5k of my allowance, then i am also involved in a thrift contribution where i also pay 5k.

The difference is that you earn more than me.

My ppa pays me 5k plus NYSC #19800. I spend only the 5k per month and save the compete allowee. It boils down to discipline. I used my first two allowance to buy a bag of rice plus other foodstuffs that would last a year. Let me break down how I spend my 5k:
1k for each week of the month
For each week -
#160 for bag of water
#500 for soup ( Just meat and vegetables, I have all the ingredients you can think of including garri).
The remaining part of the 1k goes for miscellaneous.
For the rest part of the week, I'll cook rice, spaghetti and beans.
Then move over to the next week.
I only ate in a restaurant the first week I got to my ppa.

I honestly don't have anything to say, because that 19,800 ain't money at all.

I served in Akwa ibom then and things are very costly, I didn't even carry any alawee home, apart from the contributions my church and it's outstations (catholic) contributed for me while I was travelling back.


That money is two small to save, except you want to die in another man's land

I serve in Bayelsa State Yenagoa too, cost of living is very high nothing is cheap

Well as for me I just started and from my first alawe I saved above 30k reason been dat when my oga send me to places almost everyday, I can get at least #300 extra which I use as feeding and other tyns. So it all depends on where you are serving but the main truth is dat d #19800 is total rubbish.
