Some POS business make around 400k in a month depends on the location and your capital . Infact some make around 600k ( selling phone accessories and charging join ). Don’t argue .
And some have more than 1stand.



I was referring to petty POS business...It's the mentality coz i don't know why many people here always make it look like everyone here is starving....So we should be arrested for Spending above minimum wage a week...Abi living a normal life now has suddenly become a crime?!

Leave am mk e dey lamba!

He does not know the world is a small place.

That said, I think he missed the point the other respondent was making. Most high earners in Nigeria have side hustles that give them untaxed income that can often times be multiples of their salary. These "side hustles" are not always legitimate.

On balance, their expenditures end up dwarfing the figure on their pay slip.

There are marginal costs to this. Think of the scale. From people in the force to civil servants to folks in finance to union bosses. Inside church nko. Get close to a church worker and you'd be amazed by the crap going on in there. The only positive thing about this is that Nigerians spend lavishly. So these funds find their way into the economy and keep it humming on some level.

To the topic, since I recognized the scale of wealth on the planet, I don't tab my expenses to compare. My expenses are a set fraction of income. When that income increases, so do my expenses. I no dey do pass myself. I no dey stingy for myself. I no dey keep up with any Joneses. Mk dem dey dia dey abeg. E no get as I 1 take hustle reach wen go mk me hold pass the Saudi Royal Family, so I do where my power reach forget the rest.

Na why babe no fit tell me say, "can you afford me". Who you be? Who born you? Kpensh abeg!
Nor do the grandiose displays of means by Nigerians register on my radar. Na where their shoulder high reach end nai other nationalities start.

If you can afford to spend 100K per week, spend. How much be flight ticket?
If na 10K, wear that sh*t with pride. No b you kill Jesus.
If na 5K or less, try to earn more or move to a place where that 5K or less go a long way. Life's too short.

The quality of the meal differs. Look, the higher you earn, the higher your expenses. You will need to replenish the energy invested in making money. As your earnings increase, so does your taste. If the dude makes 800K per month as he implied, he has to eat good food to replenish his energy. In fact, I say he is not spending well enough especially if he lives in Lagos, Abuja and Port-Harcourt.

What you are saying is akin to telling Dangote to sleep at hotels of 15K a night simply because na sleep him dey sleep whereas LagosCurion and Marriot dey available.

He didn't make it look like the costly spending was his choice of lifestyle. He made it look like the norm.

Around 10k per week.

This is more realistic than others shooting prices like catapult.

Minimum wage is 30k.

Exactly bro.
You have said it all

Average salary or AB is between 150-200k per month and the unofficial deals or under the table deals can raise is income to that 800k.....Agreed. So he shouldn't be saying things that are not official.
Like you also said, bi Owo eku se mo lo se fin ra Ori (the size of a rat's hand depends on how far he can use it to scratch his head).
If na 5k per week be your own, no wahala and don't give yourself BP over the man with 100k per week.

Omo things are bad oh, I remember my 100 level days (2018/2019) when 5k could carry you for a week even without foodstuffs.

Y'all calling me 'liar' seems it's everyone that is poor in Nigeria.
I'm not even rich yet, just little expenditures everyone is shouting .
Note also; I'm not a womaniser.

not everyone is into salary job. Let me give u sample.
Some bike men make atleast 3.5-5k in a day .
some of dem do 1.2-2k contribution in a day .
That’s 40-60k savings monthly
70-90k on expenses.

Most of these office guys are simply lazy and don’t want to do hard job..

These dirty jobs pay pass some whitecollar.

Do you know selling phone accessories alone can give you average of 150k in a month in a very good location [/b]with capital of 400k?
Whereas a dummy will be working in a bank just to appear fine and posh and be earning 70k wey him no go fit see 10k save except he’s into shading deals .
And average crypto trader will make [b]at worst
5k in a day just buying and reselling on paxful in your room o.

Do you know an average WhatsApp tv makes atleast 4k in daily ?
That’s you just sitting in your room with your damn phone.

Only a foôl with no self worth will sit down and earn 30k salary. You can’t tell me a complete man will survive solely on 30k salary without tips from anywhere. If he tells you he does, he’s into something shading .

Him no go chop?
Him no go pay house rent?
Him no get family to help ?
Him no go buy cloth ?
Him no go buy data?
Him no go spend on transport ?


I will only agree if the bolded are being taken care of by someone else.

Point is, most people earn more than 30k in a month ,
Weather through business or through tips .

Don’t use stats to judge

Stop calling most hustlers in Nigeria Lazy.

Sometimes i usually feel like Spanking you because of some of your Comments. if you made assertion that Nigerians are Mentally Lazy, I will agree with you but in terms of HARD WORK I can never agree with you. Do you know the Mental Stress and Pressure most corporate guys go through in the office as well. Na Nigeria wey be Useless Country make everything be like this. You open mouth dey call people lazy. Some people even have the Talent of the Side Hustles you mentioned up there but they don't have the resources to make it happen.

Everytime i hear you make reference to Okada/Keke hustle. Do you yourself ever pray to indulge in such hustle and be making your cool 5k daily. The funny thing about most people like you is that it's very easy to do analysis from your Room but you don't know/have first hand experience of what these people go through. Most of those guys you see are Mentally & Emotionally damaged.

Personally even if i am assured of making 10k daily. I don't pray to ever be involved in such hustle. I'do better receive 100k under Air-Cinditioned and Sane Environment.

Well at the end of the day, To each its own. I no too get strength to write epistle today.

I had to edit it cos I know most people will doubt and think it’s joke.
Eating outside is expensive and most of these local buka are very dirty and unhealthy. Infact sometime eating at some local buka self is expensive .

There ogunfe na 1500 for big and 1k for medium grin ( u fit chop two if you no Dey careful grin ) , iyan 300x2 two bottle water 400.

Transport and take away nko that’s 3k atleast for morning o.

For eatery where I eat

Rice , chicken , plantain and drinks will cost atleast 3500 for morning sometimes 4500 self
Afternoon let’s say I change food, swallow , soup and meat will cost atleast 3500 too ,

Shey I no go eat for night ?

But if my girl help me cook with that , I’ll eat it for days to my satisfaction.
( I eat a lot cos that’s the only thing I sabi , I no sabi drinks , nor smoke, nor drugs, nor partygrin).

I hope you dey do Exercise sha because you go be Fat Person as per this your daily Routine.
