Shevy Chimunanya, You should worry more about those outside Lagos, cause if the land of opportunities have this level of low-earners and huge number of 'homeless people', then it will definitely be very worse elsewhere


No be to dey throw shades at all times. Those wey u dey mock still dey ahead of other

Thewrath:
What did you expect? Glorified slum where lazy ass outsiders from osun,ogun,OYO etc are claiming owners with….no wonder thuggery and omonile is thriving there.

Nazgul:
More than 60% earn less than 300k. Yet inflation keeps rising daily.

My landlord sent us a message telling us that our rent has increased. The increment was by 500k. So from next year, we'll be paying an additional 500k to the already existing amount.

This is what most Nigerians are going through. That one is just rent, other sectors are experiencing inflation as well.

Sharpsharp00123:
but Igbos claimed they developed it now, n u are here calling it slum

E b like say Igbos Dey lie ooo

pocohantas:
This is an abnormal increament. 😵‍💫😵‍💫

Kukutente23:
I believe this is false

How are they now surviving

adioolayi:
....and some GenZ will be here talking nonsense about economic indices.

You go see them saying 100k salary should not be collected...those wey dem still dey feed.

Some go even start arguing on why 200k salary is a very poor income...wey no one suppose dey collect.

RichIgboBoy:
can 200k feed a bachelor in a month? Talk more of fuel for car, no let Naija make you normalize poverty

The truth about Nigeria currently is....if you don't have somebody abroad that cares about your well being, you're fuvcked.

The abroad people are the secret engine that keeps Nigerians going. That is the pure truth

The abroad people are doing God's work.... quietly

Remove their money from this economy and you'll quickly see what real shege looks like

Take it or leave it....I don't talk rubbish

I've tried to tell people this, but the PROUD Anti-Jakpa Crew will always dispute it. My own mother pays the yearly rent for at least TWO families I know of and also the school fees and sundry other costs for many children. With Xmas close at hand she's already put aside many thousands of dollars for various people back in Nigeria. This is replicated across thousands of Nigerian families.

As I was telling someone recently, most families in Nigeria that have a decent living standard - home in good neighborhood with running water and flush toilet, own a car, feed well and run a generator constantly, they have someone abroad sending them money regularly.

But living in Nigeria is better than living in the UK & US. We know that already

Good Luck to Nigeria.

What juzt makes Lagos more attractive for business is it has soo many middle income earners.

Other states stil have less than 100k earners in plenitude but much less than Lagos.


So it becomes attraction for business. Also the fact that the richest people who are not soo many, also dwell in Lagos even though are few.

Plenty less than 100k earners in Lagos makes it more attractive for business THAN fewer 100k earners in Ekiti.

There are even parts of Lagos where there are mud houses.

Realtruth2023:
See oga this gaslighting format has casted since. Look for something else that can stick. Try and be sensible. What the guys said about Lag is the truth.

HydraFeeds:
The most important factor in data analysis is distribution,you can't ask different sets of factory workers their salaries or different sets of bankers etc and then arrive at a conclusion.

Another important factor is location ,you can't ask different people that live in Lekki or VI their salaries and use it to judge all Lagosians salary . Even in this highbrow locations ,there's still a lot of casual workers and those living in ghettos.

Random source can be funny at times because you can be "lucky" to meet a homogeneous set of people.

1600 people is a very low data input to compare over 20m people average salary.

Wow! This is a saddened and heartbreaking report from a land flowing with milk and honey

Too bad.

No wonder if u see them,they are always angry and full of curses.

If u haven't stayed off Lagos,u will think u are doing well.

Until u live and visit other states,u will know most residents of Lagos are suffering more than the people in Abuja,Imo,Ph,Kano and even kaduna Asaba and Enugu.
