Suffering And Smiling:

what do you call this?  You earn N35,000 per month.  remove tithe of N3,500 per month.  remove pension of N5,000 per month.  the company removes N5,000 tax from your salary every month. You spend N10,000 monthly on transportation.  You pay Nepa Bill and gateman's salary all cummulating to N1,000 monthly.  Office removes N500 as senior staff association money monthly.  You pay cooperative of N5,000 monthly.  You cook, buy sanitaries, do your hair and also pay offering in the church all N5,000 monthly.

yet you wear suit every morning and go to work.  your parents expect you to send something at least twice in four months.  you want to buy recharge cards and still look good.  don't you think Nigerian graduates are suffering and smiling?  some employers are slave riders. 

this is a typical example of how i spend my salary monthly.  God must intervene this year o, infact this month.  i don tire.

You pay cooperative of N5,000 monthly.  You cook, buy sanitaries, do your hair and also pay offering in the church all N5,000 monthly.

remove tithe of N3,500 per month

@ poster, I am still looking for a job o maybe we should swap places . Just kidding, I feel u o. because u pay your tithe regularly, I know God ll  soon suprise u. It really works for me.I wish all of us the best.

@father ab, my own condition is a bit below the poster's so can u extend your philantropic hands to me too.lol.

@ this guy, please if u re a xtian, u need to ask devoted xtians if u can't search your bible for the benefits of paying tithes and offerings. Dont u know that if u don't give, u can't receive and u can't rob God of what belongs to him.
A trial will convince u.

You have drawn my attention to something i had earlier missed.Did she say 35k???  Na wa o.35k for a senior staff?

It's hard to believe my dear,but as sweet t said,keep hope alive yeah. E go better.

It must change o walai. That money is toooooo small for take home pay. Imagine if she were a guy with a family to fend for? No matter how bad it is here,it's far better than Nigeria o. Even after the whooping tax sum in this place there is still something left to care for soul and body. Maybe it's just the basic salary excluding all the allowances. Please this is disheartening. That is the reason why guys are willing to cross the sahara dessert to get to Europe.

My dear poster,what are your qualifications? please get a better job. I can imagine what a tight budget you are working on monthly, It'll be hard for alot of us out here to imagine going back and getting 35k as monthly salary.

Please,we have to do something about it o. All hope is not lost anyway, Nigeria go better.

Sweet T,
Dont hang your decision on the ordeals of just a single person. You have forgotten that some other people here in your naija earn between N100,000 and N400,000. I am talking from experience. Remember you stand a far better chance of getting a heavily paid job here. Taxes here are not so cruel as obtainable accross the borders. So please make an informed decision.

@Dia Guy,
You no try at all. Do you know that TITHE is that percentage of your income that prevents TIGHT conditions in your life? You don't know what you are missing if you are tight-fisted against tithe.

@Gentledove

Hang in there sweetheart, Daylight comes after a long dark night. Your company must be first bank, they are the only establishment i know that have been in Nigeria b/for the existence of Nigeria. E go better my sister, keep hope alive you will get to the promise land.
