Is not easy ooooo. To be a man no easy.



nihilistjnr:


It's not feasible for the average man to sustain a single income household long term. I know this from experience as I've been doing it from October 2018 to literally just yesterday when my wife started a new job (She was doing her masters).

If you assume a family of 4, living on a two bed rental property - Let's give the guy a generous annual salary of £40k - that's £2450 a month after tax
For arguments sake lets place this family in the midlands where average monthly rent is £800.
Lets say running costs including internet energy, water and council tax come to another £250
Lets say monthly cost of food is £200 (£50 a week)
Lets say they have two cars paying £400 for both

Before you say you even want to buy something for yourself - you've already spent 1650.

That means you have only around £800 a month in disposable income, and you need to build savings.

Statistically, it's more likely that if you're black, you live in london, which means your rent is somewhere in the 1200-1700 range as a conservative estimate

If you're earning 40K gaan, you're in the top 20% earners in the UK, meaning that statistically speaking it's more likely that you're not even earning that much.

There's no point in trying to train your kids Naija style at the expense of upward mobility. The best thing anyone can do for their kids in this country is to create a source of generational wealth for them, most likely through owning at least one property that they can inherit.

And you're statistically unlikely to achieve that on a single income household.

I know you mentioned if the man can afford it sha, but chances that the average man can afford it is extremely unlikely.

Ok, is there any good lucrative fields one with business administration degree can divert to in order to secure a good job.



mimilyrics:
Admin jobs are not in short supply and the skill required isn't in short supply either but you might not be able to get in at the level you desire depending on several factors. You can build up from whatever level you get in from though.

Please I need some tips, How is the future, I mean the Job opportunities for someone who study business administration here in Nigeria.

What are the chances of the person getting a good Job in UK under that field if the said person moved to UK.

justwise:


Chasing career and money in detriment of children cause more damage, i don't blame women who decided to stay home to look after their kids if the husband earns enough to care for the family. Bringing up well behaved children in the west is more than 24hrs job and can not be left in the hands on nannies.

Brother nothing good about Nigeria.. Have u ever think about the future of children, Does ur children has future in Nigeria ?..

How can one pay close to 1M just to secure federal job here in Nigeria..

Which home are u missing? (I can only missed the Naija food.) the whole world are just d same. Just we are separated by ordinary water and weather.

I swear if I enter any abroad country my parents will be begging me to come bk home. Just waiting patiently to enter a good country, I swear I go root my generation there.

30yrs dy never see me. If they talk too much invitation for u.

Dead country Nigeria. Think about ur kids future..



5gee:

You are right. Contracting is very good and I know Nigerians who are making a killing. I am also contracting and I thank God for what I have been able to achieve so far in the UK. For me, it's not only about money, although it is very important, but in addition to that, I also have very strong ties with home. I am constantly improving myself to get better at what I do and also earn more. One very good compromise will be a job from here that takes me back home or at least to Africa. grin

Unizik guy,. Okofia brother just pm me let talk. Make dat gal no terminate ur dream ooooo...





LordNicvuitton:
Hi Romancelanders, don't know if it's right to share this topic here, but I'll do for now.

I'm Victory, from the East and currently a resident of Edo state. I came to this state, as an intern and thereafter, still served here and in the course of all these, I thought out and established a laundry business, which is just about 8 months old. This was to keep life going and to better bond well with the lady in my life currently.

While in Edo state, having rounded my internship & kickstarting service sometime around 2017, I met this Kiki Osemudiamen (Name changed), and it was nothing serious at 1st, cos I never really thought I'd date someone here, fact is that I never thought I'd stay beyond my service year. I met her while she was in 200l. We encouraged each other, she saw potentials and had faith in me just like I have so much faith in her. She is simplistic, encourages me to save and I in turn, encouraged her and guided her through some of her studies. She passed her 2nd MB.BS. and is currently awaiting lifting of the lockdown on schools, so she can start her clinicals.

Problem is that she came from a not buoyant family financially, and although both parents are alive, she struggles to survive/feed daily. Her dad supplies about 1000litres/trip water to households, while her mum sells at the local market. I on the other hand, came from a middle class family but my Dad is late since 2012, and I've been a sponsor of my education and that of my younger ones through the lil I inherited (which mum manages for now) plus my various endeavours. She depends on me for daily meals and other basic essentials, in fact I had to place her on salary in my laundry shop during this lockdown, so she plays the role of secretary in my shop too.

The latest challenge came about, yesterday. While she slept in the shop, I was out on errand, someone sneaked into the shop and stole her android phone with all of her e-medics textbooks (she reads mostly e-copies because she can't afford hardcopies), she has been crying all through and I really don't know what to do. Since I knew her, She'd been an appendage and an extra financial burden to me, I can't begin to list what I've done for her, although I kept reminding her never to not have entitlement mentality and she does appreciate. Out of desperation to ease her pain, I promised to sponsor her in getting a new phone. I have burdens, huge ones, I'm yet to acquire a diesel engine for my laundry (I use ponytail industrial iron which has higher voltage/current than normal ones), plus other related merchandise that I need to set up and I feel like she slows down my financial pace.

Honestly, I don't do all these for her, hoping for any personal gains, in the words of my daddy in the Lord, Prophet T.B. Joshua, He said and I quote: "We make a living by what we get and we make a life by what we give" but I am almost fed up and tired, especially when I remember that both her parents are still alive.. I am scared that that for the 1st time, I may fail her in that financial obligation because I honestly need money now, with the whole pandemic issue plus, I feel like she slows me down in life financially and a huge burden to me. Right now, she's so attached to me, more so that when I initially wanted to hault our relationship, it almost nearly affected her academics negatively. Please I need matured minds to help me think this through and garnish me with advice(s) because I almost feel so choked up and a rising urge to relocate from here, so i can breathe again.

NB: Advice from married couples and those in serious relationships, will be highly appreciated.

Modified: She went to her bank (First bank) this morning, only to be informed that about 20k (Her mum's business money) has been used to purchase recharge voucher. Her mum sends/receives money from distant customers through her account. Yesterday's scenario, all over again. Please folks, lock your SIM cards just as much as you lock your phones. Learn from this painful experience please.

Brother, Sincerely speaking oooo. I once be in ur shoe but I will advice u. To focus on ur dream first.. Go for the money once you have make that money. U search for her. If she is still single. U marry her.. if she is not single den know she's not for u. Ur own woman will come, one with a good character, so unique than the former..


Hustle for ur dream. Ur dream of traveling outside the country or wen u get job outside. U come back and pay her bride price..


Never u allow this to border u.. if this gal leaves ur life. MY Guy u will be more focus on ur dream. Hustle for ur dream.




LordNicvuitton:


Yes, you typed true words as per aspirations of those in my field, however I know within me that the time for marriage is not ripe for me. 1st things first and that is why I'm laying the foundations for now.

In July 2017, 41.4 million people in the United States were black alone, which represents 12.7 percent of the total population. African Americans are the second largest minority population, following the Hispanic/Latino population. In 2017, most blacks lived in the South (58 percent of the black U.S. population), while 27 percent of the white population lived in the South.

Coronavirus: First Batch Of Free Bags Of Rice For The Elderly In Anambra Arrives

"Suppose there are brothers or sisters who need clothes and don't have enough to eat. What good is there in your saying to them, "God bless you! Keep warm and eat well!"---if you don't give them the necessities of life?" (James 2:15-16).

Coronavirus: First Batch of free bags of Rice for the elderly in Anambra arrives.

... distribution starts tomorrow, April 1st!

Gov Obiano few days ago promised to share free bags of rice to every Onye Anambra from 70 years and above as part of a jumbo stimulus package aimed at alleviating the difficulties with the 14-Days "Stay at Home" order

The distribution pattern is simple:

1. The Presidents-General of the 177 towns in the State will collect and submit the list of anyone upto 70 years of age; to the Ministry of Local Government

2. The Government will release corresponding quantity of bags of Anambra Rice to the town

3. The town will shared the bags of rice to the persons on the list while observing all the recommended practices to avoid the spread of Coronavirus

No Struggle! No Hassle! No Cheating!

This is just the beginning as many more goodies are coming for every Onye Anambra from the government of Chief Willie Obiano.

Willie is wonderfully, willingly working.
