This is one of the most balanced writeups I've seen on this topic.
Truth is, no matter how many millions you earn in Nigeria, the system will stress you:
- you will buy solar because there's no light. -you will buy SUV and spend much to fuel and maintain it, because of terrible roads -you will hire guards to secure your house because of insecurity -one serious illness and your hospital bill will run into millions -one unfortunate kidnap, and ransom will wipe millions from account; that is, if the person gets out alive.
If not for insecurity, I would have still managed to be staying in Nigeria.
Abroad, I will be making much more than $1,000 as there are better opportunities and more profitable business climate compared to Nigeria.
Great100000: “‘If your monthly salary is between ₦300k–₦500k, be sincere—how much can you realistically save after bills, transport, data and vibes?’ — Doctor poses serious money question to Nigerians.”
For me, future impossible tense. Save wetin?
It's only a bachelor that can manage to save something from that salary.
Transportation and rent alone have wiped out a significant part of the salary. Not to talk of feeding and school fees.
seunmsg: lol. Tinubu that became president barely two years ago is why you’re poor and he’s also responsible for the inability of 95% of Nigerians to earn more than 500k? As in, do you guys think at all before posting craps like this?

"Seun’s response of “I have classmates” left me rolling on the floor."
"Nigeria is a Netflix series on God"
Kindly watch and laugh
Tinubu and children of the corn left the topic.
The other day when we were on a field trip, I advised a politician medical student to take pics of that event with his classmates and file it somewhere safe. Because of tomorrow
FineUsername: Make their customers cry this cry, this one no concern me.
The law should have a mechanism to separate legitimate earnings from illegitimate ones. So the law doesn't care how one earns his/her income? Problem dey be that.
So, Yahoo boys will pay tax too, and government will receive it.
ednut1: her child going to school is a risky situation? All these apc paid bots ehn. You will defend politicians whose children have dual citizenship and school abroad 😂
Lol.
I tire for that guy oh
The woman's son is probably on scholarship, to one of the best schools in the USA, and someone is here whining.
badoh: She actually shot herself. No be everything be gragra. Some issues are better approached with sense and diplomacy and that doesn't mean you're weak. If care is not taken, she may not return to that hollow chamber before the next general election if the power that be actually mean her. You also don't go making spurious and damning allegations without having concrete evidence to back up your claims. I'm sure she's already liking her fingers and counting her losses.
It's only in Nigeria that you have to apologise for doing the right thing or for speaking the truth
Lanretoye: It is a good way to go,considering the level and volume of transaction and relations between both countriesit is not too late unless you want to wallow in your flimsy excuse as usual
Lol.
I'm doing things.
The "as usual"
I'm a doctor.
When I had China in mind was when I just left medical school. Some good years back.
I still want to practice outside Nigeria, so China may not offer me what I'm looking for.
Savenigeria2023: Unfortunately, academic brilliance has nothing to do with governance/ administration. Soludo has been terribly below par in performance.
For the body and mouth odour, my hand no dey there
dboY1123: Good morning all I want us all to look into a request from a returning parent and come up with suggestions, advise, examples(picture samples) etc. A family left our school some years back while their daughters were in nursery and lower pry classes.
They're planning to come back now while they are in the secondary sch Ss2 and SS 1 now One going to SS2 didn't do well in our entrance test at all which we advised to repeat. The SS1 performed excellently So parents said they can't be in same classes. That they will get extra teachers you know their excuses.
The reasons why they left was that they took them to a Faith based sch so they could learn their religion, Islam, Long hijabs. Now coming they want us to allow them wear hijabs in which I said NO cos ours isn't a Faith based sch as I won't even allow Christians SU cover their hair in sch.
I suggested that they buy them beret caps and wear after sch. So the parents went back home to think over it.
Do you think we should bend our rules to accommodate them buy allowing Beret, which the parents agreed to or we should maintain our standards knowing fully well that other parents would replicate.
Also I think IRS is now a compulsory subject in secondary schools new curriculum

Stick to the rules of the school.
This is what killed Nigeria: bending rules to favour some people.
They'll still turn and attack your school in public one day if you make a mistake.
kelechi50: Please don't deceive people into this gamble of a stock, because I was deceived by buying intercontinental last public offer of one thousand shares in 2007, for my son but after seventeen years, one thousand naira was given as dividends.
Please is it that the Bank failed me or the money failed me.
CorperKola: No one is getting out alive anyway Cos if he survived for longer he would still have needed a house to live in without bothering about rent Or would he have been buying drugs and undergoing treatment while hustling for rent and food at an old age and taking care of children also like the OP is suggesting. His only mistake here is not taking his health seriously
Kobojunkie: How many Nigerians do you know of who genuinely cares for or take care of their health? Obviously, this man was not much different.
2. These stories are common place with family being at the top of suspect lists. He probably saw the signs but chose to ignore them.(A brother who bilks you of hard earned money should be arrested and jailed at least. He probably thought some local gods or his ego would save the way or something. Who knows!
Now he is at dead and no longer bothered by all of this anyways.
Kobojunkieee: This suggestion screams all sorts of wickedness to me. The man is dead. If he had had a child, who would have been there to raise the child or make sure the property would have ended up in the child's hands, assuming his family would not have maybe killed the child off to grab the property for themselves?
OP, if you were a child in that situation described, would you have been happy or something? Before you say yes, consider the case of the millions of orphans in Nigeria today who roam the streets every day and night, many of them with living relatives who refuse to take them in.
Not everyone should go around having children because children are not meant to be solutions to problems, not even of the kind you describe.
If that were the case, the man shouldn't have bothered sending money to his brother to build the house in the first place.
After all that struggle, he should have just used the money to take care of himself and his health in the township.
It's still terrible that his brother ripped him off. He still died and his brother and children are now enjoying his sweat.
