Op the answer is YES and NO, Depending on your proximity of your place of work to your home. Depending on how you can manage yourself.

You actually think that everyone living in Abuja earns more than 40K

People earn less and still provide accommodation from that in this town.
are you serious?

Yesooo I'm in Abuja here and I earn only 25k.
Re: Can Someone Earning 40k Salary Survive In Abuja? by McTobe(m): 1:47pm On Apr 01, 2017
I laugh at some comments here. 40k is surely poor to survive on in Abj but many people are surviving on that salary. I am sure a Grade level 6 Civil servant in some Govt depts receives about that amount or a little less and they are more in number dan Level 7 upwards. Mr Op planning is d key. But I want to assure u dat dis stage of life u are in now is transitory. Just b focused. Any descent girl or lady dat can patiently be by your side now should not be despised in d days of your plenty, because I know that d sunny days must surely come. Remain blessed . One thing u must fear at this stage is debt, fear it more than u fear anything it can cripple u except u borrow to start up something for yourself.

I earn 40k and i live in Abj but i am gonna show you how i survive.
1. I dont compare myself with other people
2. I stay at Jahi very close to my workplace and my annual rent is 100k (very conducive environment though i'm lucky in this aspect)
3. TP to my work place to and fro is #200 and as such #4,800 in a month i work for six days in a week
4 I buy foodstuff and other miscellaneous expenses of 10k to 15k depending on what is not available per month ( But i must confess that things are very difficult now with the daily hike in the prices of food stuff so i had to spend more to around 20k now per month.)
5. i save about 15 to 20k monthly from wich i pay my rent whenever it is due but i am really looking for a better pay Job to save decently so i can marry wink
6. I dont womanize.

but guy you can aswell stock your kitchen every month with that 18.6k, Instead of visiting mama put every morning and evening. Or you dont just like cooking?
I know it's better for me that way, I cook my own food before until a friend visited and told me that I cook like woman, that if I continue that way I will not see the need to marry, I just think the whole thing and lost interest in cooking. It's over a year now I never enter kitchen and I never still marry.

Yes you can, depends on where u decid to live, you can get single room for 25k at some of those villages along airport road. Transport to area1 is N100, food stuff is cheap in those villages. Trust me u can survive with 40k
You can lie for Africa and Asia join! Sauka, Ako, Ido etc are all along airport road and it's never 100bucks. You can just say 'from Lugbe'. I live along airport road and I spend 250 x 2 to and from area 1 every day!

Someone here will live in Ado-Ekiti now and come here to advise Abuja residents! undecided

if you pay 250, how much will someone from gwagwalada pay? Shows u don't know how to take rides in Abuja. Let me school you a little,

Gwagwalada to area1, apo bridge, wuse beggar 250

Giri area1 150

Anything after kuje bridge area1 100 or 150 depending on negotiation

Lugbe to area1 100

Nyanya area1 150 or 100 depending on type of bus n time of day

Zuba to area1 200 to 250 depends on time of day

So dont think everyone is as ignorant as you. Next time, kindly stop over paying, except you decided to give extra cash to help the ministry of the driver

Thats a very lame excuse, you better go bacK to the kitchen you know recession is in the air. It will save you a lot of cash and you will get filled to your satisfaction than buying food outside.

kubwa cheap?

hell no except you are referring to kubwa village market axis.banzago pipeline byzahin axis.

God bless you brother.. When the guy mentioned kubwa, I started wondering weda na the kubwa wey I dey stay or another kubwa dey Abuja wey me nor know of.


Our house rent in phase4 is almost a million, not to talk of the new estates, flats..

Even the kubwa village, bazango, biagy and across, you will hardly get a house for less than 300k, my friend staying in far biagy across close to the mountain ( almost the end of biagy across, pays 3500k in a two bedroom flat.


@op no reason kubwa at all, kubwa is not for kids. Nothing is cheap here at all, as a guy man 40k is not even enough for a weekend , unless you are living a boring life.

Just go dutse,bwari, dei-die, zuba, etc, definitely not kubwa with your 40k penny.

I can see now that you knew nothing about what you wrote initially! Anywhere from Giri to Kuje Is 200 to Area1 while people in Gwags pay 250 (lucky them) and mind you myopic man, living along airport road doesn't mean you live beside d highway...you still need to take bike from where you are to d road in some places! Except you're the type that knows d price to be 10bucks but you want to get it for 7bucks by begging!
