You are referring to the exceptions, not the majority. Nigeria is hard, there is no way around it

Hard for you

IhateAfonjas:


Hard for you

Don't be silly. Because your so called relatives earn more than the average doesn't in anyway refute the fact that Nigeria is hard.

Enough with bashing Nigeria

You think it's easy anywhere else ??

It's even hard to get a good paying job in America,
wake up from your dreams, you think America is what they show you on TV ?? You wanna see pictures of the real American?? Many of them live paycheck to paycheck

And if you ever get arrested for any minor offence, you will never ever get a good paying job

Stop complaining, there are millions of jobs in Nigeria waiting for lazy people like you but you're too lazy and not so smart to figure things out

All my family members​have a good paying job in Nigeria, where do they work ?? In Iraq ??

Stop complaining

What about those people i see every morning going to work, driving an expensive cars and owns a house (they pay everything in cash, no credit, something Americans don't do), where does those people work ?? In heaven ??

yes there are millions of jobs, like the op said are they paying living wage, you talk of some guys driving cars go and ask them if they are finish pay for the cars, don't be deceive with what you see

All we need is Grace to survive. Nigeria is a very good country to make money. We have differient choice to make it.

Salary in Nigeria is rubbish!!!...

I had a chat with someone who's working at a filling station (petrol station) days ago in UK and she earns £1000 in a month . Imagine when you change that to our Nigerian currency . OKAY, LET'S DO A LITTLE MATHEMATICS





£1pounds = #300 Naira (definitely more than this )

She earns 1000.

1000 × 300 =300,000

So SHE EARNS 300K EVERY MONTH .

Tell me why wont she be happy and proud of her job, she have bills to pay and she'll still keep some change for feeding and savings ....you're a graduate right ?
tell me what bills you want to pay from 15k per month and where is your savings ...lol
Here in Nigeria, I can't even walk up to a lady that works at a FILLING STATION andwoo her , I will be told I just finished downgrading myself....gosh.
HOW I WISH MAKE I BE ONE PETROL SELLER FOR UK, I GO DEY SAVE 200K EVERY MONTH ...HOW MUCH BE THAT FOR 1 YEAR??

Hehehehe.....u make me laff in pidgin!
You forget nor know say cost of living 4 Jand high pass ngr own?

Now... gerroutoff here

left to me...
though I'm earning about 30k now, my aim is to be an I.T entrepreneur. Why? because no salary earner is among the richest in the world, and that's where I wanna be. not even a 1milion a month job can stop me.
if you've settled to be an employee, it only shows the level of your aim In life. my thoughts though.

verygudbadguy:
Good piece.

Sometimes, it is not basically about salary. Some employees make their salary in a day while some make theirs in a week or two.

The best kind of job is your own business. But if you are lucky to have a job where you can make 200% of your salary monthly, keep it. Save as much as you can. Set an achievable target and when you attain that level, you quit. Shikena!

Make 200 percent of Ur salary from stealing from Ur employer shei? My friend you are part of the problem we are facing in Nigeria...All of you are just thieves in this country

Ode, even Messi is collecting Salary. He is even earning enough to buy off any business you think you have, without sweat.

Any small thing about jobs, some people will open their mouth yakata and start talking rubbish about being your own boss. At the end of the day when you ask the idiots what they do, they claim to be inspirational speakers. Them go dey find person wey dem go scam to buy one nonsense tape or e book. Make thunder fire their yansh.

Not everyone have that mentality of becoming rich, some are interested in comfort, while some wants to build a career. Come to think of it most policies and decision makers in the country are career civil servants. The likes of aruma oteh, okonjo, adesina are not into business and the level they are even dangote knows he has limitations despite his wealth. Emefiele is a career person, it may be fair or not to say some of his policies have rendered many businessmen useless. Our youths of today are only interested in the fast means, if you want to build a career go ahead and do, and don't get discouraged by the stipends you see today .

In 1980, minimum wage
was N90, which was about $100 so,
was equivalent in purchasing to
N40k today.

In 2017, minimum wage
is N18,000, which is
about $40!! This means quality
of life keeps dropping every decade.

After 40 years, politicians
are just gradually killing
us with extreme poverty

Price of goods have not really gone up;
It's earnings that keep falling due to
ineffectual & wicked leadership.

Only salaries of 'leaders'
have gone up (in real terms)
in Nigeria.

Bricklayer.

N60/ block × 200 blocks x 2 days in a week = N24k / week

Which is N96k / month working only 2 days consistently in a week.

Labourers:
N2500/day x 3 days x 4 = N30k in a month with no skill.

4 years of university + tuition + handouts + strike + NYSC == still struggling to make N30k/ month. Life is not fair.

You were making sense until you said:

set an achievable target and when you attain tat level, you quit

Quit and do what
Own a business
Or carry sure fixed odd of 200?

Not everyone would make a fine entrepreneur!
Some would make it better working under someone else.

There are so many ways leading to the market, just as there are several ways to kill a rat!

Unfortunately You can only afford to save 200k if you starve and sleep on the street in UK. Half or more of the £1,000 goes to rent,gas and water depending on his locality.The rest of the money will go to feeding,buscard fare ,family demands etc.How much do you think you can really save after all this?

dingbang:

What you fail to understand is that not everyone is interested in doing business. Using my wife as example, she quit her job few years ago, I have begged her to tell me what business she wants to do, she said No that she's not the biz type and she prefers to teach in any available private school pending when she will get a bigger job. Remember the money for business wasn't the issue. Not everyone is interested in business.

Chiefpriest1:


Thank you. Not everyone is wired to do business. Some are just happy with their 8-5 jobs. Do whatever makes you happy.

Don't look down on those who prefer office jobs or impose your opinion on them.

By the way, if we all become sellers, who will buy?
