They have increased their own salaries by 150%.

They have even added what they call Hardship Allowance for themselves.

No do pass yourself.
One must not marry from a rich family.
Look for a noble family and marry from there.
If the lady is a hustler, bring her to the city, secure a loan then give it to her to start a business.
Get and affordable house maybe room and parlour.
Don't give birth to more than two.
In summary no do pass yourself if your monthly income is less than 100k in this present economy.

Over 90 percent of Nigerians will never abide by these words!

This is just the problem... Nigerians will never learn to cut their coats to the material available.

I'm still shocked that young couples still bear several children today even when they clearly lack the resources to raise them... So, who are they birthing those innocent kids for?! Is there a welfare system in place?!

A couple squatting in a semi-completed building belonging to a relative just had their third child... The older ones barely eat, and are always dressed in rags.


So, it's really terrible that our economy is in tatters... Still, the main problem is that most Nigerians are financially irresponsible!

Even as a young child growing up back then, I have always struggled to understand why most Nigerians spend so frivolously and unwisely!

In the end nobody cares. That's you and your children problems. The world has moved on from things like this.

Goodluck in your quest to become rich and take care of your family.

During my days in Private Schools Teaching things, A colleague regretted not picking Public Teaching Service in 1995.

In 1995, being a Graduate of Mathematics, Private Schools were paying Her far better than the Govt could pay. Fast forward to 2014, She was earning less than 40k.

THE WHITE BIRD

Picture yourself as a beautiful white bird. Feel that you are flying high up in a cloudless sky.
Imagine that you are gently flapping your wings and flying higher and higher until the earth fades
from your sight.
Now try gliding. Feel that you are floating on the air currents high above this world. Imagine
yourself soaring and then swooping down. Feel the perfect freedom of unobstructed flight. You
are flying alone high up in the sky. You have flown beyond all of your problems, worries, and
difficulties.
Fly higher, beyond the sky into space. Fly between the stars and planets. Glide beyond all of
the distant heavens until you have flown beyond time and space. Continue flying into worlds
unknown.
Feel that you are flying now into other dimensions. You are passing through dimension after
dimension. Each dimension is a different reality and you have glimpses of that reality as you pass
through it. Feel that you are flying through hundreds of different dimensions each minute.
As you fly through each dimension, notice your bird body changing. It will assume a different
shape in each dimension. Then, after flying through all of existence, return to this world. Fly high
up in the sky and then swoop down to your home.
Fly back into your room and observe your body as it relaxes. Now re-enter your body. As you
do, feel that you are bringing back with you a totally new perspective on existence. All of the
freedom and vision you gained from your flight will stay with you now. You have experienced
perfect freedom in flight. Your flying has totally relaxed and refreshed-you.

Also, you need alternate income sources

Even with alternate income sources, most Nigerians lack financial prudence!

A lot of us spend more than we save even on non-essentials!

Do you know that there are civil servants who have side chicks and concubines?!! What about big guys who hop from club to club everyday?!!

It's not easy ooo. The salary is just too poor. The government should pay civil servant living wages.

Na bomb o money no reach chop again

The amount of similar topics about the economy since the new administration ehn and we thought it couldn't get worse than Buhari. By the time this man is done with us all, we will all ronu. Lmao

"Dont try to understand it, just feel it" - Tenet

Jokes aside, You should be looking to leave Nigeria or just find a way to make more money and live among the rich people.

That's the only way to escape the madness going on around you.

A country with zero welfare for its people. Sometimes i cringe but understand why the poor will keep getting poor and rich getting rich.

Its conditioning

Even in working countries like USA & UK theres high inflation and etc. Not to talk of a s h i t h o l e Nigeria. Yet some Nigerians will never have sense even after they know that this Government noe send anybody papa.

As at today, the Middle Class of the 90s and early 2000s is GONE!!!

Do you know what it means for a nation to lose its middle class?!! Can you begin to imagine the impact it will have on small and medium scale businesses?!!

This nation is heading to a very dangerous place!!!

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?




the video referenced in the previous post:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t66DkQl0j50

I seriously doubt you stay or reside in Nigeria. If you do then you've been cut off from reality for one reason or the other.

The civil servants you're worried about are actually the middle class in the society in case you've forgotten. If you're bothered about the middle class then what do you have to say about the low class. The poor. I guess we will leave that for another day.

In case you've forgotten, there are graduates who are security men as we speak, some are private school teachers, some are running after moving vehicles just to make daily sales. I'm talking about degree holders. Some even have masters. Let's just leave these matters for another day

VeeVeeMyLuv:

Noooo....you gat it all wrong, you are mixing up things

The main reason is that The purchasing power of these salaries are been eroded at a very rapid rate

Nah...

There's always been inflation. I grew up to use 50kobo coins bro. I was given 50kobo and 1 Naira coins to primary school. I watched as they disappeared and inflation took us up to N5 and N10 notes. All of this happened before 2003 and there was a lot of complaining but people still happily got married.

Right now, N50 is almost worthless. It cannot even buy common pencil again. Na only purewater and that's because it's at N30.

I see no reason why a man who earns N100k regularly cannot get married and live in a simple room and parlour self contain if he sets aside 10 to 15k monthly for rent (depending on the area). Buys foodstuffs in bulk and cuts down on unnecessary expenses.

But to many women this kind of lifestyle is beneath them.
