Properties / Affordable Housing: Strategies And Considerations by DeDonniesHomes: 10:04pm On Apr 06
In today's world, the dream of owning a home is often overshadowed by the harsh reality of soaring property prices and stagnant incomes. For many, the question of how to afford a house seems like an insurmountable obstacle.
However, with careful planning, strategic decision-making, and a realistic assessment of one's financial situation, owning a home can become a tangible goal. In this article, we explore various strategies and considerations for affording a house, catering to different salary brackets and preferences.

How Are People Affording Houses?
The ability to afford a house is influenced by numerous factors, including income level, savings, access to credit, and prevailing property prices. While some individuals may rely on traditional methods such as saving diligently over time or obtaining a mortgage, others employ more creative approaches to make homeownership a reality.

Some prospective homeowners explore alternative housing options such as tiny houses or prefabricated homes. These smaller, more cost-effective dwellings offer a solution for those seeking homeownership on a limited budget. By embracing minimalist living and innovative design, individuals can achieve homeownership while minimizing financial strain.

How Much House Can I Afford with My salary?
Determining how much house one can afford requires a careful assessment of income, expenses, debt obligations, and lifestyle preferences. While there is no one-size-fits-all answer, financial experts often recommend adhering to certain guidelines to ensure affordability and financial stability.

For instance, let's consider the scenario of an individual earning an annual salary of $80,000. According to conventional wisdom, housing expenses should ideally consume no more than 30% of gross income. Therefore, with an $80,000 salary, the recommended maximum annual housing budget would be $24,000, or $2,000 per month.

However, it's essential to consider additional factors such as existing debt payments, savings goals, and other living expenses when determining affordability. Utilizing online affordability calculators or consulting with a financial advisor can provide personalized insights based on individual circumstances.

Similarly, individuals earning $60,000 or $200,000 can tailor their housing budgets accordingly. While those with higher incomes may have more flexibility in terms of housing choices, it's crucial to strike a balance between affordability and long-term financial health.

Affordable Tiny Houses: A Path to Homeownership
In recent years, the tiny house movement has captured the imagination of aspiring homeowners seeking an affordable and sustainable living solution. Tiny houses, typically ranging from 100 to 400 square feet in size, offer a minimalist lifestyle characterized by simplicity and efficiency.

One of the primary appeals of tiny houses is their affordability. Compared to traditional homes, tiny houses require fewer materials, incur lower construction costs, and demand less maintenance. Additionally, their compact size translates to reduced utility bills and property taxes, further enhancing affordability.

Moreover, tiny houses embody principles of environmental sustainability, often incorporating energy-efficient design features and eco-friendly materials. By embracing a smaller ecological footprint, tiny house dwellers contribute to a more sustainable future while enjoying the benefits of affordable homeownership.

Despite their diminutive size, tiny houses offer ample opportunities for customization and creativity. From innovative space-saving solutions to clever design hacks, tiny house enthusiasts can personalize their dwellings to reflect their unique preferences and lifestyle needs.

Exploring an Affordable Housing List
Access to comprehensive and up-to-date information is essential for individuals navigating the housing market in search of affordability. An affordable housing list serves as a valuable resource, providing insights into available properties, rental rates, eligibility criteria, and application procedures.

Local government agencies, nonprofit organizations, and real estate websites often maintain affordable housing lists tailored to specific regions or demographics. These lists may include a variety of housing options, such as subsidized rental units, income-restricted apartments, and affordable homeownership programs.

Furthermore, individuals can explore various avenues for affordable housing assistance, including down payment assistance programs, rent subsidies, and housing vouchers. By leveraging these resources and staying informed about affordable housing opportunities, prospective homeowners can enhance their chances of finding a suitable and affordable place to call home.

In conclusion, the path to affordable homeownership requires careful planning, informed decision-making, and a willingness to explore alternative housing options. By assessing one's financial situation, setting realistic goals, and leveraging available resources, individuals can overcome the challenges of the housing market and achieve the dream of owning a home. Whether through communal living arrangements, tiny houses, or access to affordable housing programs, the journey to homeownership is within reach for those willing to pursue it.

Politics / Electricity: Concerns As Tariff Hike Hits Consumers by HenryThegreat1(m): 3:27am On Apr 04
•As FG strives to cut subsidy cost •It’s a recipe for unrest – TUC
•It will not address fundamental energy issues – Muda Yusuf
•Poverty rate will get worse – Economists

By Udeme Akpan, Peter Egwuatu, Victor AhiumaYoung, Yinka Kolawole, Obas Esiedesa & Ediri Ejoh

The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, NERC, has indicated that a total of 1,974,385 electricity consumers would be affected by its recent hike in tariff.

Vanguard learnt that the tariff hike was aimed at making a significant cut on an estimated N2.9 trillion electricity subsidy in the 2024 fiscal year.

It was further learnt that the hike became inevitable following cashflow constraints arising from FG’s inability to pay obligations to the Nigeria Electricity Market.

The NERC, on Tuesday, hiked the electricity tariff for Band A customers by 230 percent from N68 per kilowatt hour to N225/kWh.
Band A customers are those who receive an average daily supply of electricity supply 20 hours or more. With the new order issued by NERC, Band A would no longer enjoy Federal Government subsidy on electricity.

The NERC said yesterday subsidy payments across the bands have become unsustainable.

Recall that President Bola Tinubu had, since July 1, 2023, frozen the electricity tariff at December 2022 level with a promise to pay the difference as subsidies. But the government has so far failed to pay any amount to the market, leading to the accumulation of N3.5 trillion in debts to power generation companies and gas suppliers.

The Vice Chairman, of NERC, Mr. Musliu Oseni, told journalists in Abuja yesterday that to ensure that only customers who receive at least 20 hours of electricity daily are on Band A, the number of feeders that meet the threshold has been reduced from 875 to less than 500.

He explained that only 15 per cent of the 13,162,572 electricity customers nationwide would be affected by the tariff increase while the remaining customers would continue to pay the old rate until supply improved and they were migrated to the new Band A.

NERC expressed the hope that the additional revenue would attract investments into the sector, adding that it would deploy several tools to ensure that customers in Band A would get the daily hours of supply from electricity distribution companies, DisCos.

He stated that the cost of electricity has gone up significantly since the Multi-Year Tariff Order 2024 effect on January 1, stressing that the decision by the government to increase the price of gas to power from $2.18/MMBTU to $2.42/MMBTU and the rise in the foreign exchange rate was a major factor in the review.

He noted that because the tariff payable by customers remained the same despite these changes, the performance of the generation companies was affected because they could not pay for gas.

Meanwhile, stakeholders, economists and industry experts have explained that the increase in tariff would culminate in high utility bills, gross reduction in consumers’ disposable income, high operational costs for businesses, and high prices of goods and services, which is capable of impacting negatively on low-income earners in Nigeria.

Experts, who spoke with Vanguard in different interviews, yesterday, said it could push more people into poverty, even as inflation and foreign exchange crisis continue to impact households and businesses.

It’s unacceptable, a recipe for unrest—TUC
Reacting, Deputy President of the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria, TUC, Dr Tommy Okoh, said the hike is unacceptable and a recipe for unrest, urging the government to allow the poor to breathe.

According to him, “The hike in the electricity tariff from 66/kWh to 225/kWh for people who enjoy electricity supply for 20 hours per day is unacceptable and a recipe for unrest.

This shows clearly that Nigeria is not ready for a 24-hour electricity supply. As we speak, you cannot point anywhere in Nigeria that people are enjoying 20 hours of electricity supply not even at the airport where it is expected for economic reasons. We think the government has goofed again, especially at this time of socioeconomic challenges where the cost of living is very exorbitant and the salary of the workers remained static.

“Today, we are still battling with the fuel subsidy removal without any corresponding remedy and yet the increase in the electricity tariff without the supply of electricity. This government should know that they were not voted into office for the enslavement of the citizens but to protect and better the lots of the masses. This is an indication that the poor can no longer breathe.”

It could strain household budgets- Oseni
An energy expert, who spoke on condition of anonymity said: “The most immediate impact on consumers would be higher electricity bills. With increased tariffs, consumers would have to pay more for the same amount of electricity usage. This could strain household budgets, especially for low and middle-income families.

“Increased electricity bills would leave consumers with less disposable income to spend on other goods and services. This could lead to reduced spending on non-essential items, impacting various sectors of the economy.

“Facing higher bills, consumers may opt to reduce their electricity consumption to manage costs. This could mean cutting back on non-essential appliances or adopting more energy-efficient practices. While this could lower electricity bills, it may also impact comfort and productivity levels in households.

“The burden of increased electricity tariffs may disproportionately affect low-income households, exacerbating existing social and economic disparities. It could push more people into poverty or deepen the financial struggles of vulnerable populations.

Fundamental issues need to be addressed – Yusuf
Similarly, the Chief Executive officer, Centre for the Promotion of Private Enterprise, CPPE, Dr. Muda Yusuf, said: “The power sector issue has become a major conundrum in the economy. There is a major funding and liquidity crisis which is posing significant risk to investments in the electricity value chain.

“Costs across the chain have been rising as a result of the multiple macroeconomic headwinds. Meanwhile, the system is not generating the desired liquidity to match the escalating costs. Tariff review is thus inevitability. And there is a limit to the subsidy burden the government can continue to bear.

“But it is noteworthy that the increase is not across board as only 15% of electricity consumers are affected. And this is targeting the segment with the highest ability to pay. This reflects some attributes of equity in pricing.

“But some fundamental issues need to be addressed in the electricity value chain. There are issues of technical and commercial losses which are yet to be addressed. These are inefficiencies costs that consumers are compelled or expected to pay for as part of the cost recovery argument. And these costs are in billions of naira. There is also the exploitative practice of estimated billing. Millions of electricity consumers are yet to be metered.

“There is the problem of over-centralization of the power supply through the national grid model. There are capacity issues with some of the electricity Distribution Companies, contributing to the lapses in electricity delivery outcomes”.

It will lead to rise in operating costs for businesses- Egbomeade,
Reacting as well, Communications & Economy expert, Clifford Egbomeade, said: “The recent decision by the government to increase electricity tariffs by approximately 230% carries significant economic implications for both businesses and consumers alike. One immediate effect is the rise in operating costs for businesses, particularly those with high energy consumption, such as manufacturing industries. This could lead to reduced profitability and potential layoffs as businesses seek to offset the increased expenses. Moreover, higher production costs may ultimately be passed on to consumers in the form of higher prices for goods and services, thereby impacting consumer purchasing power and potentially contributing to inflationary pressures in the economy.”

It is insensitive, disregard for the plight of citizens – PRP
Commenting as well, the Peoples Redemption Party, PRP, said the decision of the federal government to increase the electricity tariff by 300 per cent was not only insensitive but demonstrated a blatant disregard for the plight of the citizens
The Acting National Publicity Secretary of the party, Muhammed Ishaq in a statement issued, Wednesday, said the policy would result in the power companies raising prices of electricity from N68 to N200 per kilowatt-hour.

The party said the drastic hike, coming on the heels of the removal of fuel subsidies and massive devaluation of the Naira, which have brought increases in costs of living and resultant hardship to the populace, was an unconscionable burden on the already struggling Nigerian populace.

It said it was unimaginable that the government would impose such life-frustrating policies on a nation that was already on its knees.

“The PRP, therefore, called on the government to reconsider this decision and prioritise the well-being of its citizens.”

Before I commence my story, I want to specifically thank those who advised me not to travel. Your advise was borne out of genuine love and concern. One stated clearly that I should not leave known for unknown.

However, taking the bold step to leave Nigeria at the time I did was the best decision I ever made in my life. In fact, given the same scenario and even if I am 52 and my salary was #2million per month, I will still leave Nigeria.

The first 2 months was very difficult. The mistake I made was my insistence on getting accounting job. I did over 60 applications and all of them were rejected. I have no Australian experience neither do I have Australian certification.

My wifey was indeed an angle in human form. She provided the needed support. She shouldered all the financial responsibilities all by herself. This is the part that almost pushed me into depression. As an Igboman, we consider it a taboo for our women to feed, house and cloth us.

After two months, I decided it was time to re-strategize. I enrolled for a forklift training and within two week, I obtained my forklift license.
Not satisfied with that, I took some courses and did some checks that will qualify me to go into disability support work. I obtained First aid certificate, Diploma in mental health, certificate in infection prevention and control, certificate in care for the aged and disabled, police check, working with children checks, NDIS worker check, NDIS orientation certificate and many more.

I started applying for warehouse jobs. In fact, I had to reject a lot of them. I settled for one of the warehouses and it has been awesome working for the organization.

I have not gotten what I am looking for yet. I am using the warehouse to keep body and soul together. In the warehouse where I work, you will see people of different ages. from 18 years to 65 years working and making a good living. in Australia, there is always something to do.

The only thing I miss, is the big man mentality we have in Nigeria. Where I will sit in my office, call one of my staff in intercom and ask for a cup of coffee; and it will be brought to me in seconds. You can't try that rubbish here.

The level of security here is top notch. I have no fear, i move about anytime of the day/night.

After one week in Australia, I concluded that Nigeria is a completely lawless country and an animal jungle. Here everything is ordered. I am yet to hear a driver blow his car horn while driving. There are no touts, there are no omoniles. Electricity has never blinked for one second. water is constant, gas is there. I have never seen two persons fighting in the street. I have never seen a mad man or woman on the road or street beggars. The air we breath here is different from the air we breath in Nigeria.

It was in Australia that I realized that the saying in Nigeria that Nigerian police is your friend is actually true. Break the law in Nigeria and police catches you, just give them #2,000 you are off the hook. And the circle of lawlessness continues. Here, it is a different ball game. Proposing bribe will be used as evidence against you. It doesn't matter who you are. Every one is civil.

While in Nigeria I suffered malaria every month. There is no month I don't treat malaria. Since I got to this country, I have never had headache let alone malaria.

Children are doing wonderfully well at school and are already speaking through their nose.

In conclusion, I made the best choice. Even though I have not really found the kind of job I want to do, the little I am doing now contributes in paying bills and I have savings more than my monthly gross per month in Nigeria.

If you are above 45 years and have your partner already in this country, and you are an employee of a company, it is in your best interest to leave Nigeria. Provided, of course, that you are healthy and you are not lazy.

One dark side to moving abroad is that you have more chances of being divorced by your wife. This is a story for another day as I have gathered enough reason on why families divorce and will create a thread on this someday.

Who told you I started life afresh?

In Nigeria, I worked for a private company where you're treated like a slave and where people are sacked on daily basis.

I took the best decision to live Nigeria. Here, I am working. I am not begging.

My life here is even better than what it was back home in Nigeria.

You're shouting plan your retirement. Who told you I am not planning my retirement?

If I work here for the next 3 years, I will have a 3 story building of 8 flats somewhere in the East.

Can #2m net salary a month do that for me in Nigeria?

In Nigeria, my gross pay was about #1.3 million per month and my take home is #1.057m.

Here in Australia, despite the fact that I have not fully integrated into the system, I comfortably save 1,600 dollars per month out of the 4,000 dollars I make.

By the time I fully integrate into the system ( like getting Australian drivers license, there are jobs you cannot get without an Australian license) there is no way I won't earn more than that.

For your information, there is dignity of labour here. You don't talk down on people here.

I am not under any pressure. I didn't migrate at 48 to look for papers. Our papers are already coming this year through my wifey.




This makes it better for you to change residence at 48. Your case is totally different, some things (like wife) were already working in your favour even before you migrate

Last year, I sought the opinion of Nairalanders concerning my plan to move to Australia.
My major worry was my age (48) and also considering that my net salary in Nigeria was a little over a million Naira per month as the financial controller of a manufacturing company in Onitsha.

Below is the link to the thread I opened to seek peoples advice and I recommend that you go through the thread to fully appreciate
the story that follows.

[url=https://www.nairaland.com/7825207/japa-confused-please-advise][/url]. I promised to tell my story after 3 months of my stay in Australia.

I finally left Nigeria on December 7th, 2023 and arrived the country on December 9th with my children. Today, I am exactly 3 months, 2 weeks and 6 days old in Sydney, australia.

This is not a hearsay, it is not an eye witness account, it is my story.

This is intended to guide people who maybe planning to travel outside Nigeria. Should you migrate at an age over 45 or not?

Those who told me not to go are right and those who told me to travel are also right.

Given another opportunity, will I take the decision to move out of Nigeria at 48? Have I made a mistake? How am I surviving?

You will find out in this thread.

To be continued shortly .........


The part I really liked... His savings per month is still more than monthly gross in Nigeria.
I go japa sooner than later by God's grace.

Not satisfied with that, I took some courses and did some checks that will qualify me to go into disability support work. I obtained First aid certificate, Diploma in mental health, certificate in infection prevention and control, certificate in care for the aged and disabled, police check, working with children checks, NDIS worker check, NDIS orientation certificate and many more.

I started applying for warehouse jobs. In fact, I had to reject a lot of them. I settled for one of the warehouses and it has been awesome working for the organization.

I have not gotten what I am looking for yet. I am using the warehouse to keep body and soul together. In the warehouse where I work, you will see people of different ages. from 18 years to 65 years working and making a good living. in Australia, there is always something to do.

The only thing I miss, is the big man mentality we have in Nigeria. Where I will sit in my office, call one of my staff in intercom and ask for a cup of coffee; and it will be brought to me in seconds. You can't try that rubbish here.

The level of security here is top notch. I have no fear, i move about anytime of the day/night.

After one week in Australia, I concluded that Nigeria is a completely lawless country and an animal jungle. Here everything is ordered. I am yet to hear a driver blow his car horn while driving. There are no touts, there are no omoniles. Electricity has never blinked for one second. water is constant, gas is there. I have never seen two persons fighting in the street. I have never seen a mad man or woman on the road or street beggars. The air we breath here is different from the air we breath in Nigeria.

It was in Australia that I realized that the saying in Nigeria that Nigerian police is your friend is actually true. Break the law in Nigeria and police catches you, just give them #2,000 you are off the hook. And the circle of lawlessness continues. Here, it is a different ball game. Proposing bribe will be used as evidence against you. It doesn't matter who you are. Every one is civil.

While in Nigeria I suffered malaria every month. There is no month I don't treat malaria. Since I got to this country, I have never had headache let alone malaria.

Children are doing wonderfully well at school and are already speaking through their nose.

In conclusion, I made the best choice. Even though I have not really found the kind of job I want to do, the little I am doing now contributes in paying bills and I have savings more than my monthly gross per month in Nigeria.

If you are above 45 years and have your partner already in this country, and you are an employee of a company, it is in your best interest to leave Nigeria. Provided, of course, that you are healthy and you are not lazy.

One dark side to moving abroad is that you have more chances of being divorced by your wife. This is a story for another day as I have gathered enough reason on why families divorce and will create a thread on this someday.


I am open to any question you may have.
You sound like an inferiority complex afflicted Uncle Tom. A lot of what you described is a cultural thing. Malaria is geographical. We are in the tropics and the malaria causing specie of mosquito (female Anopheles mosquito) is in this environment, hence the malaria. Even the so called 'big man mentality' you mentioned has absolutely nothing to do with 'big man-ism'. When you are in a position of authority, you can make demands on your junior staff and it will be well within your rights. You can't do that over there because you are not in that position so just shove it and stop raving like a well fed house boy.

You better free yourself from your blatant inferiority complex

If u know that, then u should also know that Nwaneri as a 17 year old is getting a contract that places him above professionals in the financial circle who spent years in the university while he just wrote his GSCE as a teenager .

The crux of this whole matter is that u are wrong thinking he's not getting paid more than average as a teenager considering his talent. There are so many footballers older than him who don't even get paid as much as 10k gross .

For your information, Nwaneri is getting the same salary as man utd's Kobbie Mainoo on a gross .

At his age Neymar was already a prodigy with a fame no one else has seen. This “Nwaneri” is still a fledging and an unknown.

I don't understand what u are going on and about sef. 10k per week gross amount to 5k per week net for both footballers and doctors right ?

Now how many doctors , nurses , engineers , tech guys and finance guys do u know that earn 10k gross/5k net per week as entry level salary in the UK ?

Let's see if the 10k is a lot or not

It is a lot but I was expecting you guys to say something about how huge of a grueling tax footballers pay to the government. Footballers only earn about half their main salaries after taxes. So when you see £326,923.08 p/w, in reality it is £173,481.39 p/w.
