some of you are simply mad for following money blindly !
you complain of low income. 62k every month with health insurance. so in a month transport is around 5k, you have 57k to do as you like. your income is good. many will want to be in your shoes with low transport expenditure. tell your family members to also look for work.

i know some people that complain of their work and when you ask where dey live. they tell you lekki. i laugh. lekki is for rich people that can afford paying tolls. why you wan move around like a rich man when you are not? your transport expense go burn like candle on your manageable income. dont chase money blindly.

Same with me. I was working with a private firm and was earning 62k after tax plus HMO and pension.

Transportation from my house to work is just N120 so in a day I spend N240 on transportation while most time I trek it since it's not far.

I stayed in that job for 2½years but was always complaining and felt wasted.

During this lockdown pay was reduced to 30k and my frustration increased. I checked my skills and the company and didn't see myself earning up to 100k in the next 5years if I stay put with them.

2020 is gone already and in 2021 if at all they will increase pay it could be just 10k increment, 2022 to 2025 the same thing.

I had sleepless nights and after prayers I arrived at a conclusion to quit my job and face my fears.

My family depends on me but I had a meeting with them about my decision and how I intend to let go of the certificate mindset and hustle like a school dropout. They obliged and I resigned.

With my little savings I relocated Faraway to Igando (from Surulere) so I can stay away from the normal lifestyle and hustle knowing fully well that there is no family to support when the hungers comes. Let the hunger be a source of motivation to double my hustle. Let the bills to pay stir up a new fire.

I am looking at my fears and daring it in the face. It will either make me or teach me.

The past two months have been very tough but God has been faithful. Presently the hustle is paying my bills and it's just a matter of time before I settle fully in life.

I have a big dream, my destiny is in my hand and not in the hand of any boss.

I am confident that the testimonies will start pouring in very soon. It's just a matter of time.

I am so determined to face my Goliath and defeat it.

is ighalo even needed? this team is doing well.

even 45k is enough to live. look now. 15k transport per month. 30k remaining for anything. but you must still live at home with mom and dad!

30k a month in your bank is very big! I get 0/zero/odo in my bank account. there are people that get around 8k monthly pension.

and only support staffs make 45k monthly. people like cleaners, security guards, drivers!

Olawrites:
Some are earning 45k in my place

why is it not worth it? tell us.

kimjessey2019:
I will advice you to resign and I will also advice you to know your next move before resigning. Truly the contract staff thing no worth am.

since you've answered my questions, I will answer yours.
when you are young, you have little choices. you only take what you are given. you are working as a contract worker because you don't have many choices and maybe based on your education qualification and the economic situation. so the best advice i can give is to keep the work and work towards improving yourself. save a lot of money, try to be frugal incase of any thing, then go, do enough research on possible studies so you can meet the requirements. if you can also find work with another bank and it pays more, that's even good.
but honestly, everything in life is not a rush. you take a step from where you are. this advice only works unless you are a rich man's son and money is not a problem. if money is a problem, then you take one step at a time. there are people that took many steps at a time and they land in police net.

you never mention your education qualifications. that can even guide you into better sectors. what works today, can quickly become obsolete tomorrow, so having a solid foundation will always outlast anything temporary. can you believe people work in the government and they pay them millions in salary??

and don't wait for government. government has many children to feed, so it can not feed all of them. money should not be a problem for you at this time. at 60k a month, that should be sufficient unless you are not disciplined with your spending. spend your weekends studying or doing your own research. i suspect you know what to do since you have an online biz. you can find fulfilled interests when you study a course that has better employment potential. you have to think of this yourself. i can give examples, building technology, mechanised farming techniques/agriculture technology, environment/water engineer. the country needs specialised help and it is better if one study in those areas!

Olawrites:
Yes it's digital marketing ...it has been helping alot

i feel for you. nigerians can be arrogant and rude especially the small boys!

why are the pay so small for contract staff versus core staffs in the same responsibility

NaijaDisclaimer:
OP if you like your future, better quite and start hustling on ur own now, though it'll be a bit tough at the start, but trust me, you'll live never to regret this as you'll get to find out that you actually made the right move later on.

I resigned from my contract job as a teller last year with Access Bank when I realized that one "small guy" like that in my branch was getting times 5 of my salary, just imagine that, d guy was getting 280k monthly with an official car to aid his marketing outings.

bros, I couldn't be at my best since d day I got to find out abt his pay.

Outside this salary thing, you're totally like a slave to both the bank and real REAL bank staffs.

You need to see the way my manager used to talk to sm contract staffs in my branch then, you're nothing but a boy to them no matter how you look. They're your boss even if you're their senior, whatever they say, you're expected to do it, be it in a rude or polite way, you're just expected to sh*t d fk up and do ur job.

my people, the kinda fights and quarrels that used to occur then at my branch wasn't just here. I in particular don't use to talk nor laugh with them, except they call in to avoid being insulted cos this is what I got to find out then at my branch, the more u get to open up to them, the more they get to talk down at you especially if you're on contract.

guys to cut d whole thing short, I left the job to further my school, currently on my M.Tech( Masters) now.

I rather go back to school than waste my life working for a peanut pay and still not being seen as anything by my follow workers.

I'm not yet there, but I'll surely get there. I am also into online business and I mk far more than my pay now.. To the glory of God

so which online business?

Emmerlee:
Sh*t going on in this country with no government. I won't advise anyone to settle for contract employment especially in a Nigerian bank. It is such a waste of years.

Everywhere else contract staff are paid over x3 of what regular staff take home due to the nature of their contracts. But in Nigeria unless you are a foreigner your fellow Nigerians will oppress you with shitty pay and make sure you rot in poverty. I just don't understand the wickedness just because there are very few options out there in a country that is just not working.

I'll advise you to focus on your online business 100%. If you really know what you are doing you'd excell before long and thank your stars for not wasting away your life in some slave employment.

tell us more

IFNOTGOD:
give me control.

Malamkano:
Leave immediately. Was once a contract staff with Oceanic then to Ecobank, speaking from experience. Imagine meeting 20people daily say from 8am- 4pm and selling your online business to them and compare it against working as a teller in the bank and counting people's money from 8am - 4pm on a regular. Brother, I tell u the truth, u would have made 300 calls by day 15 and prospectively converted some to sales that can pay u more than that 60k. I left d bank in 2015 and have not worked for any man save God, myself and my clients. I did a turnover of 21million in 2019 with 300% profit margin compare to the previous year. God punish corona virus in 2020 if not.

kaycee125:
Yeah I have banker friends and they are big spenders, our country is failing 60k is peanuts. I hope we get visionary leaders soon.

TOPCRUISE:
It's is better staying put somewhere during rainy season. Running errands, visiting, loitering, site seeing or wandering in flooded areas and places with canals is risky. But every year we always hear news like this
