I want to doubt this report. I am in Ilorin and all the commutters increased their fares. I have done transport biz before and i have friends doing it. Is he telling us that apart from fuel if his car developed a fault, he won't be able to repair. Na lie

MrBrownJay1:

The situation is terrible. Getting a job that needs transport to and fro now looks like slavery .

I previously created a topic about an employer that refused to disclose salary range.

Days ago on Facebook, I posted in a group that I needed a job that can pay at least 100,000 naira monthly.
Same employer contacted me. I had to remind him that we have spoken before.
This time, he had no choice but decided to state the salary. It's a position of a secretary and he's said the salary is 40k.

Transport to and fro will cost me 1,000 daily.
So let's assume 25,000 naira is spent on transport, leaving a balance of 15,000 naira. Will 15,000 naira be enough to feed me in a month? That's 500 naira a day. Can 166 naira put food on the table? Other expenses nko?

I told him it can't work for me. And he asked me to find anyone that can take the job.

This life eh.. Sometimes, I wish the night never ends. Cos once it's morning, depression sets in.

When will this phase be over?

Creamcrest:
The man is a fucking liar,you can't own your own bus and not be able to feed your family.

How about people who drive for others?

When fuel increases you too increase your fares.

I refuse to believe this lies.

Nonsense clout chaser.

MrBrownJay1:
many are surviving (yes SURVIVING) on 35k per month, let alone the gov workers that earns 70k per months. yet you want to make me believe that this man cannot survive on 90K? how many children does he have, 10?

anyone who earns 90k monthly is above the minimum wage thus will certainly make it better than most ( at the end of the month). is it enough? probably not, but it will certainly feed a normal family.

essentialone:
I can feel the frustration and desperation in your words.


It's unacceptable that employers expect employees to sacrifice their well-being for meager salaries. The math you provided is alarming:


- 40,000 Naira (monthly salary)
- 25,000 Naira (transportation costs)
- 15,000 Naira (remaining for food and other expenses)
- 500 Naira (daily food budget)
- 166 Naira (daily per meal)


This is not a living wage.


Your decision to decline the offer was wise. No one deserves to live below the poverty line.


Some suggestions to help you navigate this challenging phase:


1. Continue job searching, focusing on better-paying opportunities.
2. Consider freelancing, remote work, or online businesses.
3. Update your skills to increase earning potential.
4. Network with professionals in your industry.
5. Seek support from friends, family, or mental health professionals.


Remember, this phase will pass.


Resources:

1. Job search platforms (e.g., LinkedIn, Jobberman)
2. Freelance platforms (e.g., Upwork, Fiverr)
3. Online courses (e.g., Coursera, Udemy)
4. Mental health support (e.g., Nigeria's Mental Health Foundation)


You are not alone. Many people face similar struggles.


Keep pushing forward, and better opportunities will come.
