80,000 naira will sustain you monthly if you cut your coat according to your size. Word of advice, pls stay away from those relatives dat may want to suck you dry cos you are a US returnee.
Goodluck to you.

Food = N 750 per day (if you cook)
Transportation = N 250 per day (do you have a car?)
Miscellaneous expenses = N 1,000 per day (recharge cards, beer in the evening, etc.)

Total = N 2,000 per day or N60,000 per month

There is hope.

I might had come from US but I am a Nigerian. Forget these NEPA stuffs, it will not kill me. My house is well ventilated with fresh air. Apart from not getting sweaty in the middle of the night, I do not see any other ways which Electricity will be any use to me. I am not a stay-at-home-watching-TV person. Therefore no electric means good life for me. And this will enable to visit all these pepper soup joints. Abeg Naija sweet jare. Yes, I have my own small car that I will be managing. I don suffer all these years for America, All work no play. My plan is to enjoy the rest of my life. No more working for anyone, so no more stress. Others can take all the jobs in Oils, Gas, Banking industries for all I care.
My wife and kids will live in the US and they can visit me whenevr they want. I am even thinking of taking a younger second wife. But she must not be over the age of 21. Graduates need not apply, I even prefer if she no go school at all. Those kinds are respectful, not expensive to maintain and domestic. By the way I am 40.

@ banom,
250 Naira for condom packet? Ashawo girls usually have condoms on them. So if he is going for ashawo babes, and he pays them 6,500 Naira, why does he need condoms again, it should come with the package of an ashawo?

@ Poster,

Have you thought of mosquitoes as well? I have a friend who just went back to Naija recently, everytime she is complaining of mosquitoes on her facebook profile.



RichyBlack, your costings are too simple. Have you incorporated the cost of buying table water, generating your own water supply? Cost of maiguard, etc?

Naija is a good place to live in no doubt. Just that the thought of no electricity is a living horror to most peoples mind including mine as well.

Women are all disposable now SMH~

@ Pataki,
hmmmmmmmmmmm see the way you just analysed that ashawo stuff above like somone who has so many years of experience in patronising   them. Any way RichBlack have taking note of your point and will do the proper calculations.

platinumnk:

You dont love your wife at all do you, you want to leave her there and let her raise the kids alone  Much less talk about a 2nd Wife!! Shame on you and we have the nerve to speak about AA ppl and how they abandon their families.  My uncle split with his wife and got a second one in 9ja, form what the kids were before and what they are now, I dont think  they have ever fully recovered. Think about what you doing, stop being selfish, I'm so surprised that ppl are helping u rather than chastising u for wanting to leave your home, then on top of that get a 2nd wife, so what do you think that Women are all disposable now SMH~

Years of experience? Lets just say, I am conversant with my environment.   But seriously are ashawo in Naija now collecting 6,500 Naira? As at the last time I heard, it was 1,500 - 2,500 Naira. Abuja Zone2 Garki esp. Lagos Street are the most expensive according to what I heard though (5K for a come and do and 10K for overnight) Na wa o! But if he intends staying in Ibadan, then those ones are very cheap. 500 - 1,000 Naira is more than enough to satisfy those ashawo there in Challenge axis.
