Nice.
What course did u study?
What sector were u employed

My first salary was 25k as a Teacher after NSYC. plus 2 home lessons, I was earning a total of 85k and that was 2019.

Came to Lagos 2021 and got a job that paid me 157k monthly.

Fast forward to 2023, I earn over 1.5 million monthly. God has been great to me honestly even when am not the best of his child.

E go continue to dey better. Just keep learning, improving and looking out for opportunities.

You must not know everything to shoot your shot. If someone has told me I'll reject a job of 600k monthly in 2019, I wouldn't believe it.

You must be one stupid of a Being....The idea of religion politics is exactly what the north practice and nobody have questioned them.

Do you know that Peter Obi didn't attend any church service yesterday like he used to do before the election and neither has he wish Pastor Adeboye birthday?

In 2003 I earned #5k a month working in a small hotel as a house keeper.

Offpoint1:
5k with free meals 3 times daily +take home food and N100 TF, 2009... Mama K restaurant.

God bless that woman jare, I visited last December and paid homage.


Today I keep questioning myself "How much is enough money?" cuz paid has been upgraded from different works, but man is never satisfied, man's keeps praying and working for better pay/earns.

Life's a rat race and meaningless in the right sense.

I just wish relocate to an isolated island void of all of these.

Definitely, after considering all the achievements over the years, i still have the feeling of scantiness. It then beggars the question of the real purpose of life.

I am grateful to God for his provisions in my life but after all the cars, money in the account, food in the belly, good clothes etc one still feels a sense of unsatisfaction.

Better than being broke tho.

2014,60k...before that i see shege for daily work nd no payment at times.All glory be to God almighty for keeping me to share my own als0,so many are gone...thanks u God ones again.

6k 2004. Good ol days.

Honestly to me I think we are forever broke...

We're e always after something no matter what and how much we've got...

Life is a rat race.

budaatum:
Salary? You make me laff.

In 1980 I earned 8 Naira a day working 8 to 5 at a sawmill in Ibadan. If I arrived at work and there were no trees to slice or electricity to slice it with my boss might sympathise and pay me 2 Naira for the day. I'd walk from Mokola to Alakia and save 20 kobo.

old man

Mamzi:
N15,000 in 2014.
Now N1,087,000. Praise be to God

but to send a fellow person money dey hard you😢 hunger dey kill some of us

My first salary was 5600 and this was in 2016.

Things still never set but Alhamdulilah

I earned 2500 naira in 2002. The salary wasn't enough in a month so I jump on MAT truck every morning from Agege to Ikeja and would walk home from Ikeja along to Agege everyday.

visaclick:
2008 3k. Back when there was no internet or dstv bill only feeding and house rent. Even now 300k feels like nothing. It shall be well

3k monthly pay was nothing in 2008. Maybe manageable when it's a weekly pay. You're talking like 2008 was 1988

Lovilla:
7 million naira from 2017-2022.

I was hell but thank God.

nawao some people dey enjoy life o
