The problem is hoeflation.

A phenomenon where every woman wants to live the baby girl life that they see on TV or social media without realizing that it's unrealistic. It's all fake.

Earning honestly is frowned upon, doing all sorts of sharp practices is tacitly encouraged.

Dimaya:
I am writing this post in response to my initial post that made front page yesterday in which a lady said she won't get pregnant until her husband starts earning over 200K

See here:
https://www.nairaland.com/7729988/girl-wont-get-pregnant-husband/

People's reactions got me thinking heavily because nobody addressed the obvious elephant in the room:

unreasonable civil service salaries



In the original post's video, it was established that Nigerian civil servants starting out with a degree ( level 8 ) earn an average of 75K monthly.

And it takes as much as 15-20 years before they can earn close to 200K monthly.

With the current high cost of living (particularly food, transportation and housing), it seems the government doesn't expect civil servants to be able to support their families on their salaries.

This begs the question: does the Nigerian government pay enough for civil servants to get married?

And also, if you're a married civil servant earning less than 100K, how on earth are you able to meet your obligations today?

How?

Until Nigerians change their mindset, they will continue to suffer sadly.

How can any educated person really expect to have a life in Nigeria on fixed salary, when inflation is so rampant? How can you survive? Unless you are earning mega wages, with above inflation pay rise part of your contract, then it's a waste of time doing any kind of salary job. You are better off being self employed. If it's only 10 hectares you farm each year, with a good mix of crops, you'll do much better than 75K a month. The problem is everybody wants to be in the office. Continue, the poverty coming for many of you under Tinubu no get definition for dictionary.

That 75k should be a weekly finance tight budget of poor people in this kind of useless economy.

But unfortunately, many people are receiving such stipend as salary for a whole 30 days.

N35,000 minimum wage= A bag of Rice.
Voting to be paid a bag of rice per month though is nonsense. It is still renewed hope on your Pension. embarassed

Those who are supporting Tinubu will never comment on this thread. But when they hear Tinubu get title or Tinubu did this and that or any Tinubu news they will be there and pouring accolades on him.
