Wow. Are you doubting it? I've personally trained people that got employment and their salaries are in that range. 350k to 450k. I've never seen anyone that's less than 250k. They all got jobs and some established their own companies and they're doing fine.
if I see that kind of employment I will dump my current job

Guy I am a contented man. I never pray to God to make me a billionaire. But to give me something that will enable take care of my family. If God makes me a rich man then fine, but if not I am already contented.
.
I didn't stop my driving work bcus there's no money in it. I stopped bcus of after 20yrs in it, I began to develop back pains, legs pains and stiffness of the neck. I was advised to stop driving if not it will become worse before I get to 50.
Thankfully I have already won a hire purchase bus which now pays me 20k daily.
To make that 20k constant, I gave my driver a beautiful condition. He has to work 6 days in a week and let the bus rest for a day.
Inside the 6 days, he should deliver 5 days to me and keep that one day for himself.
But it's from that one day money he will be maintaining the bus.
So my 100k a week is constant without story.
50% of that money goes to my children school fees, house rent and other stuffs.
20% goes to helping my Aunty who's taking care of the children for me and sometimes to younger brothers.
30% is for my savings which is untouchable for now.
.
God so kind I got a security job where I was giving an apartment, 24/7 light. And a 6hrs per day work. I start work from 6:30pm till 12am. The remaining 18hrs is enough rest for me just as I am lying down now and replying you. Even in those 6hrs of work, I still have more than enough time to press my phone.
The only disadvantage and not so enjoyable situation I have now is that I am lonely.
I'm living in a big house with nobody, the owner of the guest house I am working owns the house and lives in USA, so I am practically helping to look after the house for him.
So you see, that my 100k salary is just like flexing for me. Not that it's big or huge o, but I am contented with it.

I’ve been thinking about this too. Modern football feels way more structured now. You can literally see how teams are drilled to follow specific patterns, from pressing to build-up play. It’s effective, but sometimes it feels like there’s less room for improvisation. From what I’ve seen, a lot of it comes down to how much clubs rely on data these days. Everything is analyzed, from movement to decision-making, and it shapes how players perform on the pitch.

It doesn’t necessarily make the game worse, just different. I actually read a breakdown recently that explains this shift really well and how data is influencing modern football:

Curious what others think, do you prefer this structured style or the more free-flowing football from before?

canada123:
same here , dont know how they do it at all on those salaries,

my rough guess, might be wrong

at 500k salary
100k savings towards a yearly rent of 1.2m (decent and manageable location ) 1 bedroom accomodation
savings 100k monthly
feeding - 150k monthly inclusive of food at work and eating out .

transportation - 100k (really tight already here, cause it cost more than 100k depending on your location to work, say you live on the mainland and work on the island we need like 200k here )

total is already 500-550k

Remember this is for a single guy and my earlier post aligns , i said a single guy need 700k to live comfortably,

at that 500k yiu can't even date or do anything at all.

now what blows my mind is how married people with 2 or 3 kids do it on a 300k or less salary or even a 500k salary

i did engineering but i can't solve that maths or do the calculation at all,

You would literally have to be begging everyone on your watzapp status to survive.

speaking out or contributing to this thread cause no jokes, i've gotten hundreds of messages like that, and just had to start looking at their situation cause its not funny and nice what the average nigerian goes through
I laughed loud, it's tough out there,as if the increased salary has already been taken and I'm even running on deficit!

I'm tired 😩😩
