Women be giving men headaches for ADAMAWA since 101BC

Women should be giving men headaches in every state of this nation, politically speaking.

Clearly, men have failed and keep failing in the place of leadership.

Candidlady:



When ladies start to behave like men then something is really wrong this world

Only men act/behave this way

allah ya kiyaye

Nah... Men hardly stoop this low to disrupt their fellow men's marriages.

This is typical feminine hateful behavior!

Who in his or her right senses videos himself or herself having sex??! As a P0rnstar or as what?!?


This is why full disclosure helps prior to marriage. If her husband knew this part of her past, her home would still be intact.

How has this fool not been extradited since... Na wa o!

hopexter:
Labour Party.

Nah... NNPP should absorb all of them.

Heard it's the next big thing!

AminuRano87:
Please how do I write comment on nairaland without quoting anybody?

Hit the Reply button on top of the thread...

Peter Obi has finally buried PDP in the SouthEast!

Tinubu or Osibanjo will finish the job at the national level next year!

Your politicians are more concerned about 2023 elections... The nation can burn for all they care.


After all, their families are abroad!

MrBrownJay1:
i guess to most of these people, a rich person is one who buys his own house in Banana Island, flies private jets and drives a Ferrari.... to them, only Dangote and Davido are rich and a single man with NO responsibilities earning 500K in Nigeria must be viewed as poor.

This is why a young man earning good money can afford to listen to their nonsense, and start thinking of illegal things to make more money!

It's so bad that we have lost our common sense and morality on the altar of ostentatious and fake living.

Ezidimma:
Rubbish, you only need to taste it to know that in our present Nigeria, 500k will not make you rich if you havr four or more children that you intend to give quality life. And if you have an aged mom that depends on you like I do......I & my wife earn a joint Salary of 450k & we are not vain yet we can call ourselves rich & we have 2 kids not 4 & we live in Surulere not Lekki.
Say what you know.
How much is noodles?
Beverages?
Fuel?
Garri?
Rice?
Etc etc?

You are not being objective sir.

2 Million Naira on its own is a lottery to a bachelor or spinster in Nigeria... Can you say the same 2 Million is the same to a couple with 4 kids, and several dependant relatives?!!

Is it now correct for the latter above to tell the former to shut up, that the money is not enough to call anyone Rich?!!!

You see my point?!! Wealth is subjective and a matter of perspective!

If you earned that 450k all to yourself, you won't have made that statement earlier!

So, it's really not about the amount in itself... It's about several things leaning on that amount.

That's why most young men especially in certain regions in Naija will refrain from getting married till they start earning or making 7-8 figures every month...

In summary... There is no lie in a single man with simple tastes, and limited expenses to call himself wealthy on half a million while his mate in your shoes thinks otherwise... Both are perspectively correct!

MrBrownJay1:
what does the dwindling economy got to do with anything?! the only thing the dwindling economy is gonna do is make POOR PEOPLE POORER... and if you believe that someone earning 500k monthly in Nigeria is a poor person, then so be it....you are entitled to your opinion.

Don't mind these people... Coming to social
Media to show off their imaginations.

Where them see the money sef?!!

The only thing this economy has done is to make people who are wise to be more prudent with their money... They confuse financial prudence with poverty!

They believe extravagance and showing off are equal to being wealthy! Such pathetic reasoning.

tarantino1:
It's so annoying to see Nlders labelling an amount that 90% of Nigerians don't earn anything close to monthly as average.

What's the average household income in this country? It's a shame we don't have the statistics. But the CBN report about bank savings was an eye opener.

Nairaland is social media like Instagram and Twitter where people lie through their teeth. Take them seriously at your own peril.

You don't even need CBN report to tell you that, averagely, most working and hustling Nigerians don't earn anywhere near half a Million monthly. That's a Lottery by Nigerian standards.

Don't mind some of these people forming what I don't know!

NOETHNICITY:
The bolded is absolutely correct. Infact it can't be more correct. You are a genius.
I've since told myself that I will not consider myself rich until I set up my own biz that can generate a monthly income of at least 2mil. Only then will I relax and tell myself that I am rich

I like that sir...

Please, keep it up. Stay motivated but remain legit.

You will make it!

Androgens:
One word POVERTEA. N500k Is Just an Average Salary In a SANE Working Nation. Only In A Poverty Ravaged Nation like Nigeria will senseless people consider someone earning N500k monthly rich..

Is America a poor nation??!

How many Americans living in America would you consider wealthy??!

How many Canadians and British living in their respective flourishing nations would you consider WEALTHY?!!

Let's start from there!

Some of you think you can just throw words around!!!

BlackDuke:
What did I just read

The 5 cows being handed over to the deceased family, what are their own offense? Make we all craze together.

Maybe Mr. Ram is a deity worshipped by half the country of clowns!

Sentenced to 3 years in prison or to the pepper soup pot?!!

Are these people mad or this is just fake news?!!
It better be the latter!

NOETHNICITY:
I earn over a million monthly, yet I don't see myself as rich

Others earn a little past 600k monthly and not only see themselves as rich, they actually live it up!

That's why it is subjective!

If Elon Musk looks at the account balance of most entertainers, he will probably despise them as miserably poor!

Your perception of wealth is your choice not fact!

SeunTheOwner:
This is not true.
Over the last 12 months, my earnings increased by an excellent percentage and I have more savings than in any other year.
The reason is simple, I did not change my lifestyle. Besides Food, TP, and rent, what took money out of my pocket was gifting.

Leave these people... They have never seen or earned real money!

Nairaland is filled with people who assume ridiculous airs. People that fake it so unnecessarily. Even Dangote and Otedola won't look down on 500K a month.

People who grew wealthy through hard work don't turn their nose at where they were before.

xtervaganza:
also I pray we all make it. 150k a month for a family man is 5k per day. A family man and his wife and kids will spend no less than 3k on food daily. Transportation is there, DStv, generator fuel and other expenses. I swear, Baba, 150k is not sufficient for a family unless they will struggle

True sir... 150k is quite small even for a bachelor, but that is the reality of most Nigerians today.

How many Nigerians see legit 500k every month to call it common or average?!! That is my bone of contention on this thread.

Many of those making empty noise about how small the amount is actually live well on less as we type. So why the needless bragging all over?!!

The annoying part is this constant comparison with those earning Dollars abroad... Like what kinda dull economics is that?!!

Esales:
Others are just being sentimental, 500k is $830 salary monthly. My sister earned $1,200 as a nanny for a special needs child with only waec back in the days in the USA and someone said 500k is rich. This just goes to show that people are living in squalor in this country.

500k is average. I earn 1m+ monthly and I don't see myself as rich at all, I still have a long way to go. Plot of land is in millions, good cars are expensive. I refuse to buy a car older than 7yrs, that's 2015, check the price. I had to upgrade my apartment after hoodlums broke into my former apartment cus I stopped "dropping something", I lost over 2m worth of property in that raid cus I wanted to live in an apartment below 1m, now my first priority is security and a sane neighborhood, rent is now well above 2m.
Building a house? Plot of land in bariga is around 10m+/- 10% currently, I won't go to live with snakes and scorpions or subject myself to a life of 6hrs daily traffic cus I want to build my house on a land of 1-2m.

Rich starts from at least 2-3m. Anything lower is average.

You lost your the argument when you compared two nations with different economies and GDP.

This is the problem with most of you so called high thinkers... You overthink to the point of depression.

I earn in Dollars as a writer in Nigeria. That makes me wealthier than someone earning the same Dollars based abroad. Why would you compare an American living in America with a Nigerian living in Nigerian?!!

Do you know the debt burden of the average American?!! Do you know most Americans pay debts till retirement, while their counterparts in Nigeria earning equivalent amount (emphasis on equivalent) live debt free, and even save far more before retirement!

Most seriously working and hustling Nigerians live more comfortably than they can imagine or truly realize.

Well, keep up your money pursuits till you get to that subjective wealth you desire... Please, allow those who feel they are rich within an income you consider average be!

Thank you.

Theunbothered:
If you have to keep a minimum lifestyle you are already admitting the money isn't enough

Even for a maximum and extravagant lifestyle, is any amount of money truly enough??!

Why do steady Billionaires still hustle for more??!

Warren Buffett is a Billionaire who has been frugal/minimalist all his Billionaire life... That's his choice!

If you wish to look down on half a million or even 1 million, that's your choice, not because the money isn't enough to get you a good life.

Many of you are just being unrealistic and bragging to the birds!

Postpartum Depression is written all over this...

Apart from that, I suspect general mental health.

How close are you to her?!! Are you empathetic or distant?!!

Esales:
Invest in what please? Hope u know fixed deposit in Nigeria is less than 5% annually and the dollar inflation rate is about 30-40% annually

Oga, ask around abeg!

Let's not argue!

Half a million even in today's inflation and pathetic Naira is not change. It is HUGE!

Y'all need to keep your heads down and stay in the moment! If 500k is too small for any Nigerian living in modest locations in Nigeria, then that person has serious problems.

tunapawizzy:
Shey na only rent u come pay for this life..because with that income I am now sure how easy it is for you to build a house in Lekki or Banana Island when the whole 10 years income(60m) will not even buy a plot of land in Banana island

There is more to life than Banana Island oga!

People live large on that amount all over Nigeria.

Don't let social media make you people unnecessarily desperate.

Jeezuzpick:
I earn about that and, seriously, it's not fabulous, especially with the value of the ₦aira.

Plus, we all know how it is with family, and if you got a project taking your cash, which I do.

Not rich, fam.

There are guys earning slightly less than that who save, invest, and top that in less than a year.

Half a million is huge sir! Go ask around!

Johel:
You are not serious atall...but that's your problem...if 500k no do you....Go thief or do yahoo + Na...how many pple even earn 300k this days?...oga park!.

That's the problem... These people come here acting wealthy, spouting lies and making young people desperate.

Just imagine! As if we don't know the earning and spending data of this nation.

The annoying part is that most them have never seen half of the money they look down on. Lol!

NigerianAngelo:
.

You are right. Absolutely right.


N500k is like N250k of 2014. So N500k is just a former N250k. No rich whatsoever.


If you don't have money you fancy it, but when you get closer you appreciate it's brief value.

Some saying you are rich forget then they will be paying rent and be forced to at least certain social responsibilities or contributions they are not faced with now.


I pray for all good persons in this country. That they may find employment. Good and stable employment. Earn N500k and live in grace.

In 2014, how many legit working Nigerians earned 250k per month?!!

How and when did 250k become an average monthly salary earned in 2014?!! In what kind of jobs?!!

You people need to choose your words more carefully... Such statements make young people unnecessarily desperate and criminal minded.

UyaiIncomparabl:
500k Isn't rich, please. Especially if you have a lot of responsibilities/mouths to feed.

Na average salary. Start earning it and you'll know how far.

What is the meaning of AVERAGE?!!

If half a million Naira is an average salary in Nigeria, how many out of the over 80 Million working Nigerians earn that amount?!!

How many Nigerians earn more than that in a month?!!

Talk is just cheap for most of you!

So, PDP will win next year then...

In other words, Peter Gregory Obi has been the sole reason for PDP's woes!

Reno Omokri is an IDIOT!

yesloaded:
Well, 500k monthly is not bad if you can plan for it very well

Also, someone who earns 500k monthly cannot be considered as rich but not poor either because it's something of mind

Some people earn 100k monthly & considered themselves rich

Contentment, goal, & lifestyle determines how we rate ourselves

As long as you can afford things you need in life but not necessarily your want (because sometimes our want is not what we truly need) then you should consider yourself rich.

If you don't waste money unnecessarily & your place of work is not far from house, 100k - 150k can feed you monthly to your satisfaction

Any man earning 500k in a low cost location like the North is a very wealthy man please!

We in the South are our own worst enemies.

No wonder there is so much crime here.

shizzle1:
complete fake news just to create the impression that the SE is insecure

What do you expect from an article written by a yorubandit cannibal?

I'm quite disappointed at the article, and the fact that it made Front page.

Misplaced priorities! Both you and your friend are not serious.

Wealth is subjective!

In my learned opinion, only less than 20% of the world population can be considered RICH in every sense of the word!

From Nigeria, America, to Europe, how many people make millions in their national currencies every month?!! How many?!!

Most of you don't know what earning over half a million Naira means in this nation! That is beyond comfortable, except you are greedy, ostentatious, and extravagant!

Seun, Mynd44, Lalasticlala, we should be careful with threads like this... Let's not promote desperation and criminality among our youths.
