The only PDP leadership recognised by law is the one headed by Samuel Anyanwu and Umar Damagun. Any group led by Turaki or Abdulraheem is not known to the law. If, after December 8, when the tenure of Damagun and Anyanwu ends, the PDP fails to resolve its leadership crisis, the party may cease to exist legally. The Ibadan convention is null and void, and the suspensions from both factions have no legal effect because the leadership that carried out those suspensions is not legally recognised. Take it or leave it.

I don't know when being a Northerner started to mean being Hausa or Fulani.

Congratulations on your job offer! Luxembourg is indeed known for its high cost of living, so it's great that you're planning ahead. Here's a breakdown to help you evaluate if €2,200 per month is sustainable:

1. Housing Costs
Rent: Housing is the biggest expense in Luxembourg. A one-bedroom apartment in the city center typically costs €1,300–€2,000/month, while outside the center, it may range between €1,000–€1,500/month. Shared accommodations can significantly reduce costs, averaging €500–€900/month per room.
Utilities: For electricity, heating, cooling, water, and garbage, expect to pay €150–€250/month depending on the size of your accommodation and season.

2. General Expenses
Food: Groceries for one person typically cost €250–€400/month. Dining out is pricier, with an average meal in an inexpensive restaurant costing around €15–€20.
Transport: Public transportation (buses, trains, trams) is free in Luxembourg. If you plan to own a car, factor in fuel costs (around €1.70/L) and parking fees.
Healthcare: If your job provides health insurance (mandatory in Luxembourg), most healthcare services are heavily subsidized. You may need to pay small co-pays for consultations or medications.

3. Lifestyle and Entertainment
Entertainment and leisure activities can vary, but cinema tickets average €12–€15, and gym memberships are around €40–€80/month.
Internet and phone packages typically cost €30–€50/month.

4. Savings Potential
After accounting for basic expenses, here’s a rough breakdown:

Single Living (renting a small apartment): Savings may be tight.
Shared Accommodation: Likely to save €500–€700/month, depending on your lifestyle.

For a more comfortable lifestyle or if you plan to send money back home, shared accommodation or living outside the city center is advisable.

5. Recommendations
Shared housing: Start with shared accommodation to reduce expenses while exploring the city and its cost dynamics.

Budget carefully: Focus on essential expenses initially and plan discretionary spending wisely.

Negotiate benefits: Check if the job includes perks like housing assistance, meal vouchers, or transport allowances.

At €2,200/month, you can live sustainably with a modest lifestyle and shared housing. If your aim is to save significantly, you’ll need to minimize non-essential expenses.

Thanks for this

Hi guys,

I just got a job offer in Luxembourg with a 2-year renewable contract and a monthly salary of about €2,200. I’ve heard that the cost of living, especially housing, is quite high in Luxembourg, and I’m trying to figure out if this salary is enough to live comfortably.

Anyone with experience living or working in Luxembourg, I’d appreciate your advice on:

Housing costs (rent, utilities, etc.)
General expenses (food, transport, healthcare, etc.)
Whether €2,200 is sustainable for a normal lifestyle.
Thanks in advance for your insights!
