Food stuff has started coming down in the North.
Mudu of Rice is now about #520 in the village markets.
New maize and Corn is now #250 and #290 respectively.
Fives average sized tubers of Yam that used to be #3,500 is now about #2,000. But a kilo of cow meat is still is till high and btw #1,800-#2000 in most Northern cities.

Capital lies.
Which village market in North be that??

Name the location,please!

It hasn't been easy at all

The first thing I do when I receive salary is to draw up a list of the things I don't have in the house and shop for them first especially foodstuffs because the worst thing that would happen to you is if you're hungry in this kind of economic situation

Then I subscribe for internet and my DSTV to keep me entertained in the house so as to avoid some unnecessary things that would make me leave my house and spend unnecessarily

I try not to carry a lot of cash around so as not to fall into the temptation of unnecessary expenses

Finally, as a single guy, I avoid slay mamas for unnecessary billing or if I can't, I'll just say things to get them upset and not apologising so that the drama will last long

Not to mention that I'm still acquiring skills to help me move out of this country and be useful outside because I can't allow my kids experience what I'm experiencing

You are wise

Dear salary earners like me, how do you manage your salary with the current economic situation and high cost of commodities (more than 50% and above), how do you cope.[/quote]

During Jonathan, i had a job that paid me about 210k per month, i was ok. Now i have a job that pays more than twice of that and i am finding it hard to live comfortably and 'ball'

Now, imagine what people who don't work now go through. Truly, in seeking for solution, Nigeria found a problem
We have family men earning 20k sir

So sorry about this. The passing of your mom really touched me.
She has gone to make life here better for you.
Don't give up. God will surely make a way for you soonest.
Never. Never. I repeat NEVER allow people's opinion validate you.
Keep being frugal in your spending. Keep fighting. Never stop fighting until you break through. You are blessed.

My brother, thanks for the compliment but that's the truth and most Nigerians won't want to accept the truth.

We need to curtail a whole of things.
True. Show off is the other of the day amongst many Nigerians.

Honestly, I will like to hear it too...

I see the current cost of basic commodities like food, fuel, gas, etc, and I wonder how those families earning less than 60k a month are doing it?!!

I mean, a single person can't even survive on 50k a month in this accursed administration. How then can husband, wife and kids survive on it?!! What and how do they feed?!!

This country is sitting on a very dangerous time bomb!!!

Those of you who think you are financially secure, hence far removed from the million others should think again...

A nation with millions poor and hungry is completely ripe for anarchy!!! No one is safe!!! High fences and personal security won't mean a damn thing!
May God protect us in this country, the problem has started reaching them now since they kidnapped a senator and house of representatives member

Do you live on your own? Because I don’t understand how 13k can do all these for you. That’s not even up to how much I spend on airtime alone in a month.
Lol some spend 15k a month on data
