Bro,sacrifice a bit of funds,with the consent of your landlord.....INSTALL SOLAR.......!
Since December last year till date,my generator has been stowed up somewhere in my apartment. This government is devilish...install even the basic of solar setup and you will know how much you've been suffering and still be smiling without knowing......Get any solar package, you will always wake up smiling, knowing how much you would have spent on fuel to have such a refreshing heat_free night.....I kid you not.
Good morning. Will you be kind enough to give out your generator you are no longer using to someone like me that needs it? Thanks in anticipation.

My rent per month for a two bedroom apartment in Abuja here is #208,300. For a year it's #2,500,000.
You pay 2.5 million naira per annum in Abuja and you don't yet have you own house? Back in 2022 when my then landlord increased my rent from 700k to 1.5 million in F01 Kubwa, I pinched myself and said "No. I didn't come to this world to make money for another man." I got a land, and within 6 months, built a 3-bedroom bungalow and moved out of the man's house.

I know I would probably have felt comfortable living there if the man had not increased the rent - even though I have many lands to develop - but sometimes you need to sit down and ask yourself some hard questions and take some hard decisions.

I use to hear "inflation is coming down.

I do not see how it is coming down o.
N10,000 only gives me around 40kwh of electricity which lasts me for only 2weeks to power

•my AC for like 1hr daily
•Fridge is powered for around 10hrs
•Ceiling fan is powered for around 15hrs daily
•And 3 light bulb around for 7hrs.

I spend around 20k monthly on just light bill.
Light bill and rent alone cost around 55k per month, rent is 400k per year. it outrageous.
There is debt on your prepaid meter bro.. 3k recharge gives us 56 kwh here no debt on our prepaid

I have a land I can start building on anytime soon but I decided to wait this long and grow my capital to a certain level when I may deemed it necessary.

I've chosen to delay building on my land to accumulate sufficient capital.

Upon calculation, I realize that investing about 50-60million naira on a duplex is unwise.Yes,if i invest that amount at 20% per annum it would yield 10-12 million naira per year. This passive income would comfortably cover rental expenses, making it more financially prudent to rent for now rather than rushing into construction.

At least you are making the money, I wish God can do something like this for me too
ibechris:
U are lucky,I am on band A but that isn't my problem,my expenses per month is close 1.2million naira.

It's as if I am not making progress at all,just this first quarter of the year,I expended about #5,996,000. When I checked my expense book,it was like a dream honestly.

But sincerely speaking,If i had depended on my salary,I would have ran mad.

I am just wondering if those that are not working are feeling the heat of this administration,cos they seem not to be complaining like us.

My rent per month for a two bedroom apartment in Abuja here is #208,300. For a year it's #2,500,000.

House hold expenses wants to kill me oooh my country people.

If u can't fathom it pls,face ur front. I am not here to impress u.

U called it a lie, while in reality that is my ordeal.
I am speaking for myself.

If u check below,that is my April expenses in red pen together with my quarterly expenses.

Note: I earn very big.

U are Richmond and yet,u are in doubt.
My brother you don't have to prove anything to anyone, some people's mind are too small, so when you tell them something they can't imagine they simply switch off there minds and tell you, you are lying.

Guy, your neighbors suppose dey bring like 10k from that 40.....abi you get another means of collection??
I am the landlord but I made a mistake of adding it to the service charge when they come in. It’s my first time and I am not repeating the same mistake. I am getting a separate meter but yet to be available.

Mind you, you can’t bypass in my area.

It seems like lies to you but it's not, running a family in nigeria of today is way expensive and people hardly have anything less to save,my monthly expenses is between 950k/1.50m for a family of 7, house rent not inclusive and trust me no lavish lifestyles added

I spend 160k amonth to use AC on a 3 bedroom... 2 is what's mostly occupied
Inless you use inverter ac you likely spend more that 160k.
Me I only use the 1hp in bedroom, turned off the big deep freezer for a smaller one, one st anding fridge, the normal fans and others, I average 5-10k daily, if the kids are home from school then 15k+ daily as they turn on acs in their rooms or 2hp unit in the living room. Ofcourse with the heat these days one cannot stop them.

If you are guaranteed 20-24 hours electricity per day and spend 20k naira monthly on power. This isn't much. After all, you are the person consuming it. Power is expensive worldwide.

If u want to make it in this country,first of all forget all the lies we were told about education and certificate.

Hustle like u have no other time,hustle hard like an illiterate and then,u will see gradual change in ur income.

Then start improving on them until u get better at it.

Dong forget,I started very small till it got better.

U can too.
This,I did some years back.

20k gives me paltry 33 units (kwh) under IBEDC on a brand new meter/house, no prior debt. 1k gives 3.3 units.
BTW: I don't think you need to on your fridge for 10 hours a day. 2 to 3 hours is enough if it is working condition is okay

my brother that is not using prepaid meter spends just 5k per month.
May be he's on band B, 5k gives around 65-70 units on band B. Other than that, your brother is bypassing his meter

You are even lucky you dey use prepaid metre. People not using prepaid metre in my area are charged 50k per month.
Yeah, you are correct, that's the charge for estimated billing for band A customers without meters. Nobody should be on band A without meter.
