The problem is not increasing the quantity of naira bills you take home but the fact that would 200K translate to a Living wage when implemented?

After paying the 200k, what happens if a bag of rice costs 100k?

I foresee inflation making nonsense the expected gains from this wage increase. The monies that would be chasing fewer goods and services would be monumental.

True. Renewed hope is here. A dollar hit 1,250 in their very eyes but they're keeping quiet. They've succeeded in destroying our economy all in the name of propaganda. I thought they said 250 naira to 1usd was very bad when Jonathan was in power.

The song they now sing is that, Nigeria can't continue to be import-dependent after They've destroyed everything, as if we were exporting much when naira was strong. Cfa has overtaken the naira, can't believe it. If you have 1k naira, na 529 cefa you go get in exchange.

They're not looking into corruption and excesses under this administration but saying its because we import much that caused naira to weaken.

Nothing much should be expected from a country where corrupt individuals are at the helms, where the law makers are the highest paid in the world, where one single person is stealing over 100bn naira and he remains untouchable.

Jonathan remains the weakest president ever lived. If I were him, I'd have treated their fuckups during those series of protests back then. He just allowed them to come in and destroy our economy. See those who are supposed to develop Nigeria and uphold her future leaving Nigeria in droves. Many of them may never come back again. I hope our future politicians are learning from Jonathan, the clueless and weak one.

So the other time,I came to share how I lost a job offer because of a health issue,I want to thank everyone who reached out to me sending positively, prayers and advise.one pastor even offered to pray with me me.I truly appreciate all the kind gestures.

That incident made me seek treatment.

when I lost that opportunity I was thinking how will it take time to get a better offer because I haven't got such offer in a very long time but life goes on,I kept applying day and night even got some invites that didn't work out, some that will say we will get back to you but you but you go wait tire.

Being a job seeker in the present time is really draining.

So when I got an invite,I was like hope it will not be like others,I was even tired of going physical interview, luckily this particular one everything was virtual,all stages, company owned by a neighboring African company,at a point I was kind of sceptical like is this really real but guess what it is real......I got job and the pay is the highest I have since after graduation 10 years yes yes!70k more over the one I lost.God is truly faithful.

450k is huge, especially in this country.

My advice is for you to learn how to save.

Cut down your expenses, don’t spend recklessly, don’t compete with co-workers and don’t try to impress anybody (including women).

Rent an affordable apartment, start up a business.

(Don’t start building any house immediately, because it’s a liability). It will only tie your wealth in one spot.

Imagine building a house with 30-50m in Lagos, only to get at least 2m yearly as a rent. How long will it take to get back the capital

You just said it as it is, If I have 20mill now, its to save 15mill in dollars and the remain in naira

A House is a long term investment + retirement plan.

Start a business first!

Everyone will eventually contract chickenpox at some stage in their lives so the earlier the better. I got mine in my twenties and it shook me that day. I wished I had gotten it in my childhood.

The funny thing is it covered every part of my skin apart from my prick.

I recently discovered my husband has an addiction and I can't stay married to him.
As soon as money enters his hand, he starts funding some online app and start gambling.
We got married last year Nov.
We have needs and plans we agreed to achieve before the end of March. Which a better accommodation is one of our first goal. Our present accommodation is not ok at all.
On my own part, I'm saving to meet up with our Target, but I discovered, he has nothing. He collected contributions last month, over 200k. All that money wasted. He can't account for it.
January salary has entered, he has started wasting it again.

I'm expecting him to provide 300k at the end of this month. So, that when I sum it with mine, we can have over 600k. Get a decent accommodation and invest the rest.
We need to plan, save for our baby, but his attitude with money is not encouraging me.
The truth is, my husband is stressing me for lack of accountability.

Pls, how do I go about a peaceful divorce? I'm confused, because I'm pregnant.

All the things I'm seeing him do, suffocate me.
What do I do?
Pls, advise me.

Aloof:


A broke man may never be able to stop gambling.

A steady source of reasonable income gives gambling a natural death.
Imagine staking to win 50k that almost never comes,when you earn over 500k monthly.

Brokenness keeps the gambling fire burning.

Boogiebee:
My brother is 17 and addicted to gambling.
This addiction has cost us so much as a family especially my widowed mum.

He is constantly selling things and using money meant for his rent, upkeep, etc to gamble. Just last week he used his laptop to gamble. We have used tough love and right now we have exhausted all options to make him stop.

Like every other addiction if we are not proactive I'm afraid this will ruin him.

Additional Information: He's currently a 200L student of a federal uni but ever since he gained admission it has been one problem or the other caused by gambling. I'm thinking of withdrawing him and put him in a juvenile home if everything else fails.

I need practical solutions and advice on how to make him stop. If you are a recovered gambler please share what helped you.

Their almighty US of A have made it clear they wont defend Ukraine militarily.

Russia can invade Ukraine and uncle sam and her azzlickers will do no shit...

This is one of the scariest shit that can happen to any Nigerian , with no autopsy everyone will just conclude she was used for ritual,I pray we don't find ourselves in this situation. That's why I don't let girls sleep over, you don't know their underlining illness, collect and escort her to the bus stop
