COMPAQ:
Haba!!! Which N7k food are you eating?

And no you don't need N2mln to N5mln in Nigeria. If you earn N1mln a month net in Nigeria (all other things equal) you are probably better off in the short to medium term than someone who earns $5k net in America where rent for a 3 bed alone could take 40% of that. However if you get a N4mln 3 bed in Lekki, you have spent 33% on housing. And with fewer bills to pay.

To put it another way, someone earning $5k a month may struggle to buy ticket to come to Nigeria (credit card aside) more than you can afford a ticket to fly to America with your N1mln.

In the long term though because of devaluation, that's where the challenge will be.

Exactly.

The way One can massively be at a financial Advantage is to EARN THE FOREIGN CURRENCY HERE IN NIGERIA AND SPEND IN NAIRA!

praxs:
I assume you are newly employed, hence seeing 350k as a big token. You can actually survive on 350k salary in Nigeria but unless you have other source on income, you will not achieve much even after 3years of working.

If you do your home work well and see that you have a good chance of landing a job in Canada, I will tell you to go for it.

Take the Canada route and you might just be among the lucky ones to have something doing there. In 3 years of working there, atleast you will be able to save something even with the high bills and taxes.


Only remain in Nigeria if you are among the lucky ones like myself, where I work for an organization that pays me 4,000USD per month. Yes you heard me, 4,000Usd per month.

Best wishes to you

if you Reside in Nigeria, that Means you are Spending in Naira....
Thats concerts to 4Million Naira per Month!!

harsysky:

This is the problem I have with you guys. Your advices are devoid of wisdom. You guys think people make money to be worshipped or show some kinda pride. 500k, king? And after that, he achieves what with it when his mates are earning more than 20million naira a year as a truck driver in canada. I pity your sense of reasoning, and the earlier you change it, the better for you.

Why are you converting the Canadian Salary to Naira?
Will he be Spending in Naira?

He will be Spending in Canadian Currency...That will Then Make No difference from his struggling situation in Nigeria

CoronaVirusPro:
Bad comparison!

The value you will get in Nigeria, is not same with that of Canada.

With 500k monthly in Nigeria, you are a king!

With $3000 monthly in Canada, you are still a pauper., but when you convert to Naira, you feel you are doing well.

Do you know how much rent, gas, groceries, phone and internet bills and not to mention the tax being sniffed out of you.


Your comparison is void. Value is different!

500k is too small to be king in Nigeria. May be Like 700k to 1M+ is ok

yeldey:
Similar scenerio happened to someone I know.

He lost his job during Covid.

Wife left him to go back to her parent house.

He got another job same day the wife left.

Wife came back but the marriage never remained the same.

He abandoned the wife and left for Canada lol.

Sweet revenge.

WOW

atobs4real:
Who virginity help?
Well, maybe it helped u get all your needs and long life.
Life is more than virginity

LOL

You are Making all these ladies that have Destroyed their Puna Before marriage happy in Justification

Anyways You are right Sha....This Life no Really Balance at all....

eg.
You can have the best Upbringing Morally and the best result in School and have NO JOB or become very unsuccessful in Life compared to the people who had wanted to be like you initially.

eg.
You can preserve your health, avoid smoking, drinking, clubbing etc, and still die Young.

This life No Balance At all!!

Without Igbos Fulani and Hausa go show Yoruba werey


Igbo is Yoruba shege subsidy


If Igbos no dey all the shege wey Hausa dey show Igbos for be Yoruba own


Na why them no want make Igbo go


Don’t be fooled by the fake love between Yoruba and Hausa


The least Hausa man wan commot yoruba man teeth


Anyday them go mistakenly give South East Biafra


The next two hours South South don tear commot from this parasitic relationship


And I’ll side Hausas not to let Yorubas go


Two of them must remain in Nigeria

ravensckar:
Back then when I never get sense, there was this babe that we used to do 'lovey dovey' on phone. I convinced her to come and visit so that we can finally conjugate our affair. Babe smiled and said No P.

On the agreed date, she requested for Transport and some money to buy food stuff since she'd be staying all weekend. I borrowed 15k from my friend and sent it to her. 1 hour later, babe said she hasn't received any alert and that time was going. She suggested that I send another one to a different account and that when they credit her, she'll return the first one. Na so Konji carry me borrow another 15k send to a different account.

This time around, she called back to say that she has received the alert and that she would set out right away. I don clean house, arrange everywhere, watch mojo so as to know the style wey I go give her. 1 hour passed by, 2 hours, 3 hours, babe no show. I called more than 20 times, she didn't pick. It was then that it dawned on me that I had been scammed. Body begin pepper me immediately. I began to develop the symptoms of Malaria.

Then she used a strange number to call me that her bag (with money and phone inside) had been stolen in the bus she entered and that I should send her money to complete the journey. Na then it occurred to me that I've been dealing with 'Agba Scammer'. Out of anger, I started cursing her generation. That was when she let out a wicked laughter. That incident gave me typhoid because I don borrow 30k on top kpekus. After that, anything send transport, I no do again. Even if you're living in the next street.

minasu190:
Supposing one of your guys needs your help urgently, you wouldn't have help...you dare to send 6k to a girl u haven't met

The Hidden Question is: CAN the Guy meet his Secret, Unstated Need?
Or have you forgotten Economics: All Humans Spend Money or Resources in order to satisfy a Need or Want (Stated or Hidden)

Tombrown3:
Lol... You are more delusional than I thought.

And like I said before, your reaction is exactly why women do this to guys like op.

It just like buying a fake diick enlargement pills, the seller knows you can't speak up about the scam! 😂

The op has the right to use his money anyhow he feels, as long as he's doing it willingly, ooh, so because he didn't help his fellow guy he deserves to be ripped off? Topical naija thinking. (poor like you keep thinking the rich owe you.) and if he couldn't help you, he deserves to be scammed?

So TRUE

Slynation:
That's a childish behaviour bro...If I'm the girl, I will turn the situation around and put the blames on you, don't do that bro, it may/will backfire on you...

The tides are definitely against you...

you sent her money to come meet you in Owerri to do what?? Share the gospel right...you just want to shoot yourself on the legs...

You are So Right!
When a Lady Ask for Favor: MONEY, it is ok to Hear by the World,

But when a Guy ask for Favor: Sex. its an Abomination, Wicked of Him, and the World Wound NOT want to Hear it! in fact, You are a Dead Man in front of a Judge!

That's why Guys Use: Covered Contracts and it does not guarantee good results too...Because the lady will say: You did not spell out what you wanted after she has miked you Dry!

Reminderz:
you be mumu, in fact you're even more foolish with these your explanations... when she needed food stuffs?? she nor get family abi? as per orphan wey she be, na why he dey take her responsibility abi? ódé ni... ask am, how many times e don do the same to hin fellow man or to any of his family?? if he had use his common sense, he would have realised he's been a fool all these while... and again how does sending someone money for food warrant visiting for sex? shey the girl force am? sheybi na help e talk say e wan help? you be fuu... you nor wise at all...

it called COVER CONTRACT
Almost all Nice Guys Do it....Do favors without Expressing the Real Intention to Get Laid!

google it: Covered Contract (in Relationships)

LordReed:
LoLz. Go buy better insurance and stop thinking that 5k you paid during license renewal means you have insurance.

daveP:
Nothing really special.

What makes it worse is that 9/10 of those having one, they don't even utilize 25% of what makes up the fone.

Even 10% sef.


It's more of a status item disguised behind Lovers Gifts nowadays.

Cantonese:

Women are far worse than men when they feel jilted. She buy shoes for you, na for road she go collect am back. They take everything back and attack you with all that they can find.

pendragonbladgo:
Learson Number, one - never invest in a woman.

Never train a girl in school.

Give them peenut. A woman can leave you over night without prior signs.
I recall the girl I once assisted through out her school days, after service she got another man and dump me. All of a sudden she started calling me again!

Thank God that the man is uselessing her right now. She is always complaining to me that the man is going after other girls, but she forgot how she left me!

WHY WHY WHY
This has Caused a Lot of Suicide among Men!!!
The investment is too Much!!!!

like a great guy above said, invest tiny Resource, Demand alottttt!

babzlim:

That's the Technique. worldwide
if you overspend your Resources as a Man, Na Big Regret go follow am
in some cases, especially Abroad, You might Never Recover financially

LordReed:
If it was a gift then that was a childish action but if it was a business investment and was not receiving returns then he had every right.

so he should just move on and Build for the Next Gold Digger.....
and then Continue like that until he falls into Penury.

Anyway He should never have invested at all!

skj1377:
This is a smart move. They call it recovery . After a bad business you tend to cut your losses and try to salvage anything you can. Men should learn to give less and demand more .

This Skill is Priceless. i dey find am.
give me some tips

luminouz:
If I were the man... I will extract her kidney and sell her liver join. She spent my 70k on owambe? She don die be that

Kobojunkie:
Another classic mentality of one raised irresponsibly if you ask me.

Junkie, Were your Raised Responsibly?
from my observation, You have insulted almost everyone on this Thread

Must everyone Align with your opinion??

Fiscus105:
One thing I can never do in life, is renting room for side chick........I can't imagine seeing another man in the house I used my hard earned money rented for woman.


IT'S 90% CERTAINLY, THAT SIDE CHICK WOULD BRING ANOTHER MAN INTO SUCH APARTMENT.

Absolutely

Proudlyomonna:

Chinny024:
I just hope they are not kidnappers and the owner of the card at their den..comot body ooo..Don't play with fire..A lot of people are serving jail term for what could hv been avoided..simply tell her,sorry..u don't accept refund after purchase of goods...Ensure u make entry in a police station!!!


If u mistakenly transact back to them,u are automatically an accomplice of the crime...Don't say I didn't warn u...this same tactic has kept a lady for 5yrs at Enugu correctional service..By Feb or March,she would be clocking 6yrs..


The people collected someone's card and pin..then shot him to death..Proceeded to make some transactions with her POS..Then told her to withdraw the money cash from her account in form of cash to them,while she transferred some to their accounts ...she agreed..long story short..she has cooled off 5yrs plus in jail as accomplice.

WOOOOW

olamilarks:
Nigerians will say "What will the neighbours say!" Private schools have become the status symbol, even the kpako ones and the ones operating from a 2 bed apartment.

Exactly. A lot of People are always Bothered About what their Neighbors will Say or think....So Sad!

Tzar:
There is nothing you can do about a deadbeat. You also CANNOT kill yourself because of family commitments.
Why can’t the person who wants to go to school also sacrifice 6months to a year to work & save to meet you halfway? You will use that opportunity to teach her delayed gratification and thinking outside the box.
Things are not easy at the moment and Nigerians need to start being innovative about how to raise money legally for important things.
What is the role of your religious bodies to raise money for moments like this? Are these religious bodies just collecting from y’all and giving nothing?!

Great !!

Ops, this is another Great Suggestion.
if she is Serious about her Ambition

Toonice:
My own dad is even fair, but he Bleep up in some area, he retired as assistant director of DSS and he didn't take care of us as a children. Not even fixing some of us into federal job. Am struggling to survive. Sometimes I feel like taken my life because it's not easy.

Keep Pushing. Never Give up

Truthshotcrazy:
Must she attend private school? Education is free in government school. Since 25k is big deal. Get her enrolled in government secondary school

OPs, Take this Advice.
Government / Public Secondary schools are Almost Free.
They teach well too. The Only Challenge is the Population.
if she is Focused and works extra hard on her studies at home, she will come out with flying colors.
Believe me, a lot of us never went to Private School : From Primary to secondary to University.
let her Go to a Close by Community Secondary School or Grammar School
