That's why some theories of Economics ends with ceteris paribus, meaning all things being equal. In the case of Nigeria, all things are not equal, both the rich and poor are using the petrol. We have a unique power challenge that has the poor own a small generator they use almost daily and this requires petrol. The smallest business, say pure water business needs petrol to chill the water. A tailor needs to power his electric machine and the market woman needs to grind her tomato and pepper and it requires petrol.

The issue is that politicians employ advisers based on political compensation and not based on academic qualification and competencies. Also, the government has so borrowed that they need to please those who are they are owing.

Without the corrupt practices enshrined into the subsidy policy, it was a good policy to boost SMEs and reduce the cost of living but all these deep and even the deeper use cases I didn't mention were not considered.

At the end, may Nigeria win.

Baba, I spent close to a million for my baby stuff.
What you need to understand is that baby things are generally very costly. Secondly, escalation has taken a toll on the prices of things . It seems a lot of people have not taken into account the effect of the naira losing value in the economy
I gave my wife 350K initially but she bought wasnt substantial.
She added her money and i gave her additional.
BEd alone is 170k-200k depending on the quality. Breast pump (for when your baby my not have the mum around) is 50k in the market. just these 2 items have taken 220-250K out of your 400K. now talk about feeding bottles, diapers, clothes (there are several types your baby will need), Powder/soaps, baby oils, shoes, other stuff, wardrobe alone for kids na 120K. Haba

You guys are misleading people... Kai! 1 million for what? If you are rich, you can go for luxury but don't advise a basic earner to have the same budget as you. A good woman will use 400k judiciously and have extra for savings. Baby stuffs are not as expensive as you are projecting. Make out time to go to big markets where resellers buy from.

This is not a bad salary considering the fact that Assistant Lecturership is meant for a fresh graduate with good grade like first class or 2.1. Are you saying 125k is too small for a fresh graduate to start life with? It is not too bad if not renewed shege induced inflation

That's not the case. The category you are talking about is called Graduate Assistant. To be an Assistant Lecturer, you need to have an MSc in your field. It's more like a step 2.

My Papa.... What God cannot do, does not exist!

Side hustles have been helping out. After the ASUU strike of 2020, I made up my mind never to depend solely on salaries as a lecturer. I opened a Unisex salon and started operating pos spots. Luckily I became an aggregator with Opay and Bankly.
The situation is really bad but I thank God because it would have been worst than this without the second stream of income, especially someone from Abia State University being owed up to 10 months' salary.

The official labour party's website ( https://labourparty.com.ng/ ) has received many visitors over the days as some people are beginning to find it difficult to access the site due to traffic.
Many Nigerians have started registering to be members of the party through the website ( https://labourparty.com.ng/membership-registration-form/ ).
This is mostly because many young Nigerians have resolved to support Peter Obi to be president.
The number of registered members of the party is increasing by hundreds per hour as I have observed today.
Peter Obi could be a great movement to challenge the status quo.

I do a lot in the house and the kitchen and I don't see it as helping my wife but as contributing to the family.
My job gives me more time to wash, clean and even cook for the family and I do it happily.
I don't do it for peace to reign but to allow my wife relax better and not to be over stressed.

Most Universities won't employ you as a GA because you didn't make 2¹. If you have money, you can start your Masters in a less competitive school that will admit you at your grade. I know Universities that take as low as 2.7CGPA for masters.
PG programs can be very expensive. So I'll advice you get a job that will sustain you till you conclude your MSc and a job as an AL.

The picture of Ikpeazu's family is an old picture from 6 years ago.
OP should have done a little more research.

I decided to jump on this one...
Life before getting a job was crazy. I finished NYSC June 2013 and moved to Lagos (I served in Kwara and based in the east before service). I kept looking for a job in Lagos till the end of 2013. I used all my savings on transport and I wasn't successful in getting something to do. I actually failed most of the job tests I wrote even though I prepared very well. This was not funny for me because I was actually good in my university days, I graduated best in my class.
Accommodation was a very serious issue for me. I kept moving round family friend's houses in Lagos till I visited my uncle's house who was so nice and I was comfortable staying with. I won't stress what I went through other places I stayed.
I stayed in Lagos till December 2014. I traveled to the east for Christmas and never went back to Lagos. I still didn't do anything throughout 2015. I went for interviews too but by then I've given up on job search. I had to pick form for MSc since school was actually a thing I was good at. I got there, became a course Rep and helped the working class in my group to fix assignments and other errands, I got money for my services and I met some nice people too. With that I was able to get busy and pay my fees too. I took the MSc like a job till I was able to secure a job as a lecturer in another University.
I skipped a lot of details but it took 4 years and 6 months before I got my first job. I won't say I've made it yet but life is good now. Life in Lagos was the craziest for me but I learnt a lot of lessons about life which guide my daily living till date.
I believe everyone will make it... Let's keep struggling, Nigeria has failed us but we won't fail our family.
Thanks.

I know one of his songs; Sinner man. It remains one of my favourite Nigerian rap songs. At a point in his career, he was more interested in his fight with Olamide. Last song I heard from him was a diss rely on "Who you help".

RIP Bro.... From a fan.

Abians Voted for Ikpeazu... Forget what you see online. Most of the bad pictures of Abia State are old pictures, some of these places have been fixed by Ikpeazu.

He said, “We are supposed to have cross-border security in place and deploy cattle tracking technology. Unfortunately, the government is not serious about livestock development in this country

Seriously? Livestock development? A government that is not serious about human development.

mazimee:
Ikpeazu is a product of zoning (this is our brother). Those who voted for him on sentimental reasons should See the reason why our votes should be far from people who have nothing to offer rather than I am your brother.

Sir, List the Bad roads in Umuahia biko? Then compare Aba with what it used to be in 2015. I know we have passed the level of assessing performance with good roads but Ikpeazu performed and deserves a second term. Otti is just a thief who wants to regain the hundreds of millions he lost in 2015.

All I see Fidelity bank umbrella.

Npower paid Oct stipend but remain Sept n Nov....

Which State did they pay? I have not gotten alert.

Abia State

ofc87:
please whic state do you reside in ?

Got an invite yesterday.. How can I reach someone who has gone through the training? I have questions to ask.

I know graduates who earn less than 20k in a month because they resorted to low paying jobs to make ends meet. NPower should be for the unemployed and underemployed. Those graduates who are not doing a well paying job has the right to apply as citizens of Nigeria.

Urgently, $20 BTC for sale at 370

Same thing I said last year. I am in the last semester of an MSc program and I am applying for Npower this year. The truth is that you just need the extra 30k till the dream job comes, it won't change a thing. Guys who applied last year in my class have extra money for textbooks and money to do their research while I'm still waiting for Shell and no extra 30k.

ebuka10box:
a graduate like me settle for n-power taaah. I know my worth... 33k can't lead me anywhere.

These 3 numbers are now working together..targeting new comers or those too lazy to check the scammers list and forcing people in a rush to trade with either one of them or the other! They also vouch for one another and doctor screen shots from past trades!


They text you randomly and act like genuine buyers and before building trust and forcing you to sell to the other criminal! After they succeed they most likely share the funds! They were responsible for this mornings scam against naijawealth


Scammers don form union!




Cc: tabbaz...it takes 1 minute to search a number and the list but it takes weeks to earn back your lost funds!

Scammers have formed union
