I rejected the same amount for an online job that was even part-time...

I was offered $400 for an online tech job and I refused it, only tech guys will understand. It takes a lot of effort to gather tech skills, mine even involved using a foreign language which I learned for so many years, so I just felt it was too small and that was why I rejected it.

Trossard:
You can still help if you actually wanted to . But it's fine

nairalee:
I know a guy wey dey collect over 3m a month yet e dey broke before month end. Whenever this guy dey complain I go just dey look myself for mirror dey shame.

uuzba:
That's why he is comfortable living with it here in Nigeria .
Nonsense.
Minimum wage in Nigeria is N70,000
People are earning it and are not dead.
Minimum wage in UK is roughly £11 per he. Or say £2000 a month.
Convert to Naira. N3,600,000.
And you will still FINISH all of it in UK and be begging for overtime. Because you are locked down and tied to spending that money in UK.
Abeg leave the guy and his N550k. He's doing much better than many of you overseas.
Small earnings,
Small expenses.

daveP:
Theirs is better

We have 133m will no hope of seeing 1k the next day. Multidimensionally poor. USA still got lots of govt policies that can assist these kind of families. Definitely not Nigeria. Which is why i hate all the side picking. Wasting loyalty and solidarity for what's never changing.

janeedema:
Seriously?

N550,000 * 12 = N6.6m

N6.6m * 6 years = N39,600,000m

Are you saying a tokunbo vehicle costs at least N39,600,000m?

Like I know people lie, but this your lie is so unintelligent.

Standalone09:
This is wrong calculation.

It should be a year and not 6 yrs

550k x 12 equal 6.6m and that should buy a clean car

borie4u:
Money that I will make one Sunday 13hrs is even more than this. Let me say one Saturday with NHS for 12 hrs is equals that pay

Kingozymandias:
I earn almost 1m monthly (very close) yet I get broke after week 2. Omo this country is finished.
.the amount. I have to dash monthly from beggy beggy friends is too damn much.

Ewedegubbler:
My daughters monthly school fees is 1.5m naira equivalent

Roger that

QuinQ:
Well, 550K is about $400
Very good but not great

NwaliE01:
I can't work even N2m per month. To be sincere, it depends on your level of skills.

N2M per month to me is an insult, and I mean it.

Iseddy:
You need financial discipline... Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you're reckless with spending but you might be spending on things that you shouldn't. Go through your bank statement for the past 3 months and adjust your living

Acidosis:
Although Nigeria is in a bad shape, 550k is still great. More important is that we all have to live within our means. The value of money lies in how wisely you use it to meet your needs and achieve your goals. The figure is secondary.

E.g., a good pair of shoes (not necessarily a branded original) typically starts at around 70k in Idumota. But, you can still get a good quality, custom-made pair from a local shoemaker in your neighborhood for half the price. Again, the value of money lies in your hands.

Before you spend 20k eating out at one sitting as a single guy, think about paying a caterer to cook same food for you in your house. You will get more quantity (large enough to store), better taste, more value for your money, and better hygiene. Again, the value of money lies in your hands.

chudez0147:
Some earn as low as #74k

QuinQ:
And some earn as high as billions

adeoyekay:
My monthly paycheck is 35k

QuinQ:
Whe u add side hustles, how much total?

adeoyekay:
No side hustle oo

QuinQ:
So ok, 1K per day. Not bad if it is only food you have to worry about

justdream:
For family man nko?

brain54:
I am not saying it's a great salary...

It's fair.


But why do the guys above have to convert to dollar and pound like that's the currency spent in Nigeria!

daveP:
12/hr and 120/day. That's barely 3days wages in UK. He's right. It is small. But it looks big to any Nigerian graduate right now.
