And some people still believe Apc is doing Nigeria great… If Nigeria ever practice regional government, Yorubas will never allow Tinubu to rule them but they are happy he’s destroying Nigeria
It's really disheartening. All because of selfishness and to make sure an Igbo man doesn't become President, they are supporting Tinubu because they believe it's only Tinubu that have the stolen money and political popularity to grab the Presidential power for them, that's all, that's the only reason they are supporting him because they know Tinubu is a corrupt man that have nothing to offer, they are know

lol. Tinubu that became president barely two years ago is why you’re poor and he’s also responsible for the inability of 95% of Nigerians to earn more than 500k? As in, do you guys think at all before posting craps like this?

Considering the inflation within that two years and the devaluation of naira within that 2 years. It enough to cause all these.

500k is no longer a decent salary even for a bachelor in the face of the economic summersaults policy of the current administration.
Some people would think you're capping, but this is like the the most bitter truth of the current economic reality.

I have a car but won’t tell you the model😒 and it’s not your regular Lexus😂😂😂

Just have plans, invest the money rather than save and you’re good to go.

I made sure I trained myself in other fields cos my work gives me time so I have other sources of income but my direct salary savings is 250k and if other gigs should come in, I could still add up. So the issue is don’t remain in the salary sphere but spread your wings.

And it’s not until you get a car before you’re successful. Delete that thought. First you have to be grateful cos there are lots on the street praying to touch it. I heard some people are still earning below 100k.

Then you use it to build yourself. Self improvement is always better than getting a car. From there you can get more.

2.4m in a year making it 200k monthly for a 300k salary but for a 500k salary 4.8m yearly.

What about those earning below 100k?
Hmm, as per those ones, that is the cartigory of "God is their strength".
100k is just about 1-2 days expenses in a below middle class household in present day naija.

Deflections. You knew exactly where he was going but you chose to deflect. Since you pretend to be toddler, let me restate what he meant. Prior to APC and Tinubu, people earning 500k were big men and could afford anything they wanted. Buhari destroyed middle class and Tinubu buried it. Now we have only the rich and the poor which is one big sign of a dead economy. Tinubu has been here for just 2yrs like you said but and I know that he has destroyed the country more than Buhari did in 8yrs. Pretend however you want to but be rest assured that the day of reckoning is fast coming. Money made from politicians and politics have a way of going up in flames by itself so enjoy your crumbs while you can.

How do you source for the scraps, sound like a type of business I will love to venture into. I am in South East region

Someone like me will be saving 200k on a good month but 150k if month rough.
Sourcing for craps is easy, visit truck or trailer yards, factories, workshops etc.

Negotiate with the owners,ensure you are meeting the real owners of the scraps to avoid issues.The scraps are sold in tons and you can sell them to those Chinese companies that are into metal recycling.

It's a lucrative business I used to raise millions in capital for my business.A single deal can fetch you huge profits.

If you are in Lagos there are lots of these Chinese companies where you can sell metal scraps to,there are some at ikorodu and for those in south south there is one at sapele Rd in Benin,yongxing metal recycling plant.

No matter the amount you’re paid if the economy is bad, you’ll be going in circles thinking you’re making progress… if you want to understand what I mean

Those working abroad and gets paid $3k to $4k monthly, if rent is taking $1500 and feeding and personal expenses taking $1000 monthly which is not true excluding tax , do you think they’ll see anything to send back home. But in Nigeria you’ll be paid 300k monthly, your expenses monthly including feeding, transportation, utility bill, other people’s expenses (family) will take 270k, then 20k will be left in case of emergency before the next salary. Buying of clothes will only be possible if you practice opportunity cost on some of your other expenses.
En
If Nigeria economy is good, a salary earner of 250k naira should be able to buy a car. But currently it’s not possible… some years back, salary earners buy land and start building gradually but today, a salary earner can barely pay his rent or feed
With 500k you cannot even afford to buy 2003 corolla of 9-10m even if you finance the car for 4years. They will never even do 4years rather 1-2 years.
I saw brand new Toyota camry 2025 model advertised on sarikin mota Abuja for 100m, even a person earning 4m monthly cannot afford to buy such mid level car.

Add a side hustle that gives you passive income daily...
Unfortunately we are programmed for active income generation and know nothing or next to nothing about passive income earnings. When even informed we are programmed so much we reject the ideas e.g. as scams. Of course there are scams but we are not ready to take any risk because of the programme so we give excuses as we continue to suffer and smile, packaging, managing...

Depends on the person. The responsibilities of an unmarried man in his early twenties earning 500k cannot be compared to that of another married man with four children and a wife to cater for. The young guy will be able to save if he’s prudent while the married guy will struggle to manage the salary monthly without taking additional loan.
/
A single Nigerian man earning N500k/month would save less than a family man earning the same. The single guy will be living like he earns N5m per month on clubbing, ladies, car modifications and everything else there is to impress others on his status. This is Nigeria.
