Even on twitter, they assume everyone is residing in Lagos. Very annoying thing.

To be honest, no amount of money is enough in present day Nigeria when talking about salaries and wages. 1m monthly today will not be enough no matter how you manage it if agbado and cassava man enter power again because prices will quadruple and wages will be stagnant.

No amount is enough. 50k for a minimum and being contempted with your earning solves a lot of problem.

Modified
Dont quote me ejor. Say your own and move forward, biko. No be me need advice mbok. how much is minimum wage?
It'll shock you that more than half of Nigerians earn around 50k.
But no matter what, let your earning not drop below 50k. E get why.

Depends on your definition of Good Living....
Because regardless of the salary... Take out the cost of fueling, transportation, mid-day office feeding, proximity to your workplace from your home are factors to consider...



Country too hard this period....

50k can't get you anywhere now without a complimentary income.

My advise is everyone picks up a legitimate side hustle. If you are school teacher, run private lessons. If you are a government worker, do business. If you are a 9-5, find remote gigs.

Finally, if you work remotely and you don't have funds to JAPA, your number one priority this 2023 should be leaving Lagos for a less expensive state.

Many factors to consider.
Are single or not?
Number of dependants
Location
Altrustic or not?
Mobile or not and distance to work, school etc

Consider all of these then you'd know how much is considered enough for good living in Nigeria.
IMO as a single guy without expensive tastes - 200k
With a family he should be earning at least 1.5 of that.

It depends on who takes over.
If Tinubu does, he will buy up Nigeria.

If Atiku does,he will loot nigeria dry.

Then prices will escalate
