Interesting.

And they don't think that they would wreck the seller this way?
They do this in Nigeria a lot.

Some would come to ur personal home with a family member ask u for money and tell u based on how hard the country is they want to set up business for either their husband or wife or one of their family members and tell u to lend them so so amount of money that they will be giving u so so amount everyday. Maybe first month they pay u sth after that they never pick up ur calls again

See judgement and verdict. Do you know my means? Have I borrowed from you before??

Unlike Nigeria, I am not owing anybody.

Let me teach you small financial intelligence. When I give loans to friends and relatives, we must.....
1: sign a contract
2: get a guarantor or a collateral
3: I borrow without interest but if I give you 250k for instance, we calculate the dollar equivalent as at that day. You must agree to refund me in dollars. The exchange rate must surely go up and that is my interest.
4: I don't keep up to 500k in naira per time. I save my money in foreign currencies.
5: whenever I am running short of naira, I reduce my expenditure until money enters again.
6: if it is not investment, health issue or a matter of life and death, I will not have any need to convert my money to naira. I'd rather sell some of my stuffs. Some people will think it's because am broke but it's not. I have stuff that I know deep down that I don't truly need. Eg TV sets in all my rooms, washing machines of different sizes, several pay TV decoders, multiple standing fans plus a/c and ceiling fans etc.

Some of these stuffs were bought to support the hustles of friends and family relatives.

Each time I sell my stuffs, I know I have exceeded some financial limits and I adjust. This is my rule, it might not work for everyone.

This thread is a shocker. I can understand single people without much expenses earning 30K or less but the number of people here with kids earning that amount is staggering.

This country has gone to the dogs.

Must you have a child now? Growing your family in the midst of severe economic hardship severely reduces your ability in taking actions that can pull you out of poverty. Why can some people not wait to sort themselves out before getting married, or having kids?
The bold is why the rate of poverty will continue grow in this country. Seems a lot of Nigerians love suffering. U see young men that are not capable of even taking care of themselves rushing & borrowing funds to get married. Breeding kids they can't cater for.

I find it very hard to believe that people earn just 30k/month. The only reasonable explanation would be that they are very young people with no responsibilities, do not pay rent and transportation ( Their work place maybe close to their home).

Bro, I am 36, married with two kids, a teacher In private secondary school. I earn 30k/month. It doesn't even come regularly. I've not been paid June salary uptil now.

Funny enough, we are still surviving!

It is not easy, especially for us that have children, my daughters can still drink water to endure for sometime but my son can't hide his hunger he will be shouting from outside that he is hungry

You deserve it. I wish all your children will come out, and shout that they are hungry for the whole world to see. What was your plan? To keep giving birth without any reasonable income? Don't you know that you're suffering these innocent kids, and that you don't deserve to be a mother because you can't take care of them? Instead of changing your financial situation, you decided to open your legs to bring forth innocent kids to suffer. You deserve your suffering.

I think hardship will kill marriage with the way things are going.
Men will start shying away from marriage while women will be running after men they can place their liabilities on.
Many married men are even regretting why they are married now because things were not so bad when they married.
If they had knew, they would have avoided it totally.
Being married is now too expensive than been sigle and in a capitalist system, Price is a determinant factor no matter how good a product or services are.
I totally agree with u!
Marriage is expensive, anyone saying otherwise is lying. Most married men do secretly regret when they face financial challenges, some do come to me for assistance, but they just have to move on as there is nothing they can do. Since they are already in it.

The way some of you reason. That person in Nigeria working at 30k job gives more time to the job than some people earning 300k. Is he/she to create more hours in the day in order to do 2 more jobs?

People should just be hoping to be lucky in life, because at the end of the day it's not about certificate, intelligence or qualifications

It's about them and more. You don't hope, you act. Lest you'll remain a beggar for the rest of your life.
