Saladdin:
Here's my own breakdown on three assumptions:

i. Tis is my family's sole income,
ii. Also that I am newly married with no kid,
iii. I am living in either a tier 2 or 3 state (e.g Ebonyi, Kwara, Gombe etc).

Here's how I'll spend it:

Feeding/Groceries: 100,000
Savings: 60, 000
Transportation: 50,000
Wife's allowance: 22,000
Utility (Gas & Estimated NEPA hill): 15,000
Laundry & Toiletries: 15,000
Charity: 7,000
Airtime & Data: 15,000
Relish: 15,000
TOTAL: 300,000

ibrutex:
Family of 5
Food 100k
School fees 50k
Transport 30k
Data/ NEPA 20k
SAVING....30K
MISCELLANEOUS ....70K

latieph:
Church should be 30k tithe and other church expenses 10k

runsapp:
Na to buy food stuffs of N100,000 than use 200k guide as long u don’t have bad habits.

Sirchiboy:
Majority of the poor people don't love their children, they only birth them so that they can care for them in future ooh that's the honest truth.

Dreal1247:
This is a business oriented woman while the man and his family are corporate gold diggers. She should run very far. The man won't mind getting her murdered and convert her properties to his family property.

suckprick:
It's been like that for a long time.

People complaining of stanbic low rates should also put into consideration their monthly compounding. Monthly compound interest of stanbic makes their rate equivalent to 16% per annum although it's still relatively low compared to others.

Endinjustice:
Please good people of Nairaland, how much is 8.5percent interest on 2million naira fixed for 30days? Because i don't understand why i am seeing #13,900.

nairalanda1:
Nigeria has said the same thing about half kobo (already useless in 1987), five kobo, one kobo, ten kobo, fifty kobo, 25 kobo, 1 naira, five naira, ten naira, and now 20 naira.

Meanwhile they miss the real problem

Your economy since indepndence has been based on exporting raw materials which are processed and then imported as finished products which are more expensive then the raw materials ye sold. Ye also do not control the prices of the raw materials. As a result, the value of your naira is falling because we don't have enough forex to buffer it.

A country where people are more interested in free electricity and free fuel is never going to have enough money to make sure those things are made in nigeria, and by extension is not going to have much of an industrial sector. Our roads are bad because anytime tolling them is suggested, people cry corruption and so forth.

And the funny thing is that people really do not want to fight corruptuon. For example , I think that GEJ, Tinubu, Obi and buhari should all be investigated for corruption

(Watch as their supporters pile in on me).

A country where most people do not pay tax or tarrif in full for service, and at the same time insists on importing everything (most people dream of opening shops full of imported stuff for sale, not of making things)....is a country that is going to have a weak economy and a awful society with no jobs and the resulting problem of insecurity. Hello, Nigeria.

But the children here don't get it. All they prefer to do is to throw mud at passing cars and passers by. And laugh as if they have done something. While they feed their sacred cows with imported cow feed.

zimpolygon:
You are right and I hate that you are right

But here is the thing. If I tell her the truth, I become the villain. My other aunties will call me. My cousins will call me. They will say I am disrespectful. My aunt will cry and say I hate her. All because I said her rice is hard.

Is that really worth it? I am choosing my peace over her cooking. She can keep thinking she is a chef. I will keep smiling and drinking water to wash it down

I wish God gave me a black mother.
My life would Have been much better. ..

ChukwuObe:
And s this the fault of Government too?

Dshocker:
Get a spy camera and a local dog.

bukatyne:
If he spends N160k on only protein, do you think N450k will be enough for his expenses in a month?

So N290k is enough for foodstuff, light, alternative power, transportation, black tax (if any), responsibilities in his house/ church/ mosque, child care, and other miscellaneous expenses.

It seems you guys need to link us up. There must be a Nigeria behind this Nigeria we are living in.

2special:
You're the one that wish to spend such amount

lavylilly:
This experience made me think.
While many Nigerians spend hours every day arguing about politics, celebrities, and endless social media trends, other people are quietly identifying problems, investing money, building infrastructure, and creating businesses that generate income for decades. They are solving our problems—and earning from them.
These investors didn't wait for perfect roads. They didn't complain about the location being too remote. They saw a community without reliable electricity and turned it into an opportunity. Today, they provide a service people are happy to pay for because it improves their quality of life.
There is a lesson here. Development doesn't always begin with government. It also comes from people and companies willing to see opportunities where others only see difficulties.
Nigeria has millions of intelligent, energetic young people. Imagine if even a fraction of the time spent on social media arguments was invested in learning valuable skills, building businesses, or solving local problems. We would create jobs, improve communities, and reduce our dependence on others.
Instead of asking why foreigners keep making money in Nigeria, perhaps we should also ask ourselves why we often ignore opportunities until someone else discovers them first.
The world rewards those who solve problems. Complaints may trend for a day, but solutions create wealth for generations.

Lithiumite:
Obidients will come and tell you this is rubbish,it's meant to be free,tinubu promised 24/7 power and he must give it to them with subsidy.......I have never seen a worse bunch of ludicrous beings.

UncleJJ:
Another case of disinformation.
^{https://www.apa.org/topics/journalism-facts/misinformation-disinformation}

1. The spoken language is Fulani, until we have someone to translate . Nobody can claim to understand what is said.
2. No evidence of violence, or disagreement. Where are the farm owners.
3. It is a well known fact, that farmers often give out their farm to cattle herders for grazing in exchange for money

We should expect more anti-fulani propaganda in the coming years, as we edge close to May 2027 elections.

yarimo:
In Ondo state? Peter OBI will soon rush to react.

JASONjnr:
Wike doesn't care......

If Fubara is a weakling, he should stay away from politics or be a puppet.......

We want APC to win Rivers state by all means.....

benuejosh:
But people said no Bishop or Christian leaders endorsed Tinubu before the last general election.

Peter Obi and his blinded followers were a mess in the last election.

just one question

Which tribe call Nigeria "zoo"

God1000:
I am totally against the killings going on across Nigeria from different armed groups in different regions and Benue in particular, I see politics in everything happening, hopefully this dark chapter will end soon

But I don't like it when America plays religious card to fool gullible christians, go to zamfara, borno, Kebbi, yobe, sokoto and see the mayhem being unleashed on the villagers from their own brothers everyday and it doesn't bother USA

Go to Anambra, imo, abia and see the havoc local armed groups are causing there

Go to Oyo, Ogun, Osun and see ritualists on the rampage and killing spree

Go to rivers, delta, bayelsa etc the home of militants and kidnappers

Let's be honest with ourselves, I don't think there's any persecution of Christians in Nigeria, people from different religions are dying everyday, all I see is bad and wicked leaders who don't care about their own people since their families don't live here in Nigeria

America is a useless country right now and they should mind their business, no one cares about their nonsense sanctions, they are known for supporting terrorist groups across the world for as long as it serves their selfish interest, infact Nigeria should place sanctions on American government for aiding and abetting the genocide in Gaza which has killed over 45,000 Palestinians and for supporting domestic terrorist groups against minorities across USA
The same spineless congress that cannot stand up to the scallywag in the Oval Office
Call me whatever you like, I am a moderate & enlightened Christian.
