Sharap. I wouldn't mind relocating to Conakry for work.

They have super hot Fulani babes. I screwed one or two while i was working in other West African countries.

10k CFA monthly for rent is a good deal ... you can hardly see that in a good area in Dakar. Ouagadougou, maybe.
Nigerian and sex eh,mnn!

Wow.. Quite expensive I must say..

Pls pardon my question, do you net about 2m/month in Nigeria to accommodate all these expenses?

Also, I think you can get some nice mortgage deals in Abuja with about N2m/month.. You may need to consider that a rent to own kinda scheme.
Selah!
I net much more than 2m/month, so I save more than I spend every month here in Nigeria. But I spent like 70% of my net earning in Europe cos my tax was more than 50% vs Nigerian tax of circa 18%.

As we all know, living overseas is very enjoyable but u must pay for those things unfailingly every month

This brings me to my question...

How much do u spend on your bills monthly overseas?

Pls note that it may vary from country to country

As for me, this is my breakdown spendings every month

1: house rent $ 400
2: grocery shopping $ 150
3: electricity $ 25
4: water $ 10
5: internet $50
6: gas $5
7: car fuel $ 50
8: kid school $ 150
7: miscellaneous $ 200

Total $ 1040 monthly

Pls kindly let use know yours because our people in Nigeria don't ever understand and they always demand and demand from us thinking there is a tree overseas that we pluck money from...and they pay their rent yearly o

May God bless our hussles
