No matter what you are going through in life, never tell another human being what you earn

If you are in a well structure organization, everyone salary isn't hidden, everybody knows what your level are taken.

So also a well structure Private firm, though majority of private firm we have in Nigeria are unstructured, in the sense that in the course of interview, your bargaining power goes a long way in determining your pay.

Telling your colleagues about your salary is a far lesser evil than telling your family members (even your parents & blood relatives). Them go use billing kill your life. I once made that foolish mistake of revealing my salary to my family (all in the name of sharing testimony), throughout that year, my life didn't remain the same. Despite giving them monthly allowance, they will still find ways to exploit me of the rest. Since then, I come get sense. Now, they don't bother to call me for anything other than their monthly allowance unless of course they want to waste their credit. cheesy cheesy

Broh, abeg gimme clue. How you take do am? I dey this situation laidis laidis

When I first move in to Lagos, I had to share an apartment with a friend, when d guy discovered I was earning more than him, his attitude change to the extent I felt like would go juju on me.
he told me openly from a minor misunderstanding that I did something for money
Nah so I just move out leave the house for am
Don’t ever let anyone know how much u earn, live your life on the low…. Too many wicked souls out there


Two sides to a story. For the fact he housed you for a period, he don't sound like a wicked soul. Perhaps, you didn't contribute as much as you could to help around the house financial, in his view.

That's not a rule set in stone. Places like Google, Facebook, and Amazon don't pay every employee at every level exactly the same.

The negotiating power of the person in question is key. Some of those peeps are high flyers with multiple offers from different top companies. They'll simply tell their preferred destination that a competitor is offering me 80K but I want to come to you, what are you going to do about it?

That happens a lot. Even with Nigeria Banks.
