sexyto:
I love that, but why is it not common in the south and west? May be they have the technical know how to maintain it there.
I would love to have the Peugeot 308.

keymatt:
Imagine after taking kunu with N50 kulikuli you manage to buy and eat with thanks, login to nairaland only to be intimidated with this

Jayneck:
u fail to add ramsom 5million per head. I rather die in a room and parlor self of 400k in and a job of 150 with transportation of 2200 going and coming per day in Lagos than what you just quoted up there kaduna.

Faposky95:
We seem to forget that salary no dey sustain...
Ask, wat do ppl do to take end's meet

I mean most are guilty of small crimes...luckily many are, so who cares...?

But if Na politican, every go dey call am corruption

Don't feign ignorance
I'm not ignorant of the obvious sir.

Faposky95:
You guilty....?!

sexyto:
I don't own a Peugeot but admire it alot, I heard it has a lot of electrical issues may be that's why Nigerians are afraid of driving it. Thanks.

Sexydevil:
My salary is 500k, my annual rent is 180k. No much expenses plus I get free fuel from my company/ other salivating benefits.

Life is kinda soft.


Funny enough I was unemployed some months ago.
God over everything. #mytestimony

Faposky95:
Why all these contraptions
Na by God's Grace we dey eat, sleep, pay rent, send child..ren go schu.... hold madam, escape creditors, catch debtors, cheat for work, pay offering.... And so on

mrkings84:
Abeg what's the current cigil servant pay again?
30k abi, so no civil servant should live in a house anove 60k per annum.

Cutehector:
bros, it's not everybody that will be doing copyrighting jobs. If you are good at it then thank Your Maker and keep quiet.

There are still people out there who make 100 times more than you do and will not come out here to brag.

lansile:
If it does Police won't catch you otherwise I would have been arrested long ago. The thing is, a Just Okey 2 bedroom flat Apartment is just what's right for a married man. Unfortunately such apartments cost not less than 3-4
months salary of an average civil servant in Nigeria. Add transportation experiens to that and then you will understand why a civil servant is condemned to poverty from the first day he got appointment letter except in the cases where such job gives room for making illegal money regularly. In a nutshell, every Nigeria civil servant is getting paid to just eat so as to get enough stamina to make it back to the office the next day.

SmartyPants:
But that was exactly my point. It was lifted without any clear rhyme or reason.

Why exactly should anyone listen to this person's opinion? No reasoning, just a blanket statement that the OP cannot justify because they merely lifted it from someone else.

Calibrator:
I really should level up a little... Just realised that my rent is just 3% of my estimated minimum yearly income... No wonder I have too much disposable income to lavish on things Nigerians consider as luxuries


Bachelorhood is bliss if you have a sustainable income and live within your means.

SmartyPants:
You people will just lift content from Twitter and other places and post here.

What is your goal?

Okay, let's even address the actual point: how did you arrive at the 20% figure?

Uniquekriss:
na self con be that na, except u dey work for big office

Allisgud:
Lagos state govt are making a mediocre development,they just select some side for development which is the highland,they should also focus on badagry expressway,agege,iyana ipaja axis,so investors,companies,banks,malls eateries,real estates will be running towards there,with this hold up will reduce,there will be job over there,which means if u leave in a affordable house,u will still pay less for transport if u have a job in ur area

pman06:
I do tell my friends, if one month income can't pay for your rent, problem don dey already, you just don't know it yet.

Offpoint1:
Some use 7months of their salary for rent just to maintain status quo.

alimiadedayo1:
is not everybody that will live in maraba nyaya side or gwagwala or zuba to the main town If you calculate the house rent, transport and food stuffs coming from these places I mentioned except maraba and nyaya which is close to town there is nothing to show fort ..it is just like you are working like a machine

Dollyak:
This does not always work, especially when the rule is against net income

opera1:
True. Or even 1 and ½ Month. Anything above this is just like working for the Landlord.

ednut1:
All these useless standards. Then you spend 4 hours in traffic, sleep deprived, slowly kill your mental and physical health etc. abeg make una rest

Nairalander248:
Mine is 1month on the spot.. Na Woman remain to marry�

IyaTola:
My yealy rent is about 22% of my annual income. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment in Alimosho LGA, Lagos. The environment is decent and I look forward to becoming a landlord in the same area. All the other tenants knew somehow that I don't belong among them. Living below your means is possible sometimes but the pressure is high & I wasn't "really comfortable" either. All depends on you & your goals.

Nigeria will humble you..the cheap house you're looking for does not have vacancy in the location where you work, now what do you do? and even the pay for the job can't meet your needs 50%..the system is happening to all of us, that's just the truth.. how many jobs pay over 100k today

alienvirus:
One Nigerian used 1999 RAV 4 o. You know what, mechanics ran away from me even with my cash in my pocket.

In fact, chief Gazzuzz asked me to bring the car but I had already made up my mind to sell it off.

I had to rest for almost 2 years before I considered buying another car. A complete relief after I sold it off.
How

Actually, the experience made me understand how to buy car either toks or Nig used.

Noble3264:
Please go for the manual avoid the auto tranny. Especially as it is a Nigerian used not tokunbo.
