Gay union is the fastest means of HIV spread so our govt is on the right track already. Let them keep their aids-aide, we can always find a way round it.

Hello,

Am Kelvin, am based in Abeokuta, Ogun state where I work with a Firm that pays me N50,000 monthly after tax and pension. I try as much as possible to engage in other online businesses that do not affect my office work and i make close to N50,000 monthly as well. Though this varies.

I notice that most times, I am only able to save 40-50K monthly despite being in a low cost City like Abeokuta. But at least i save often.

Am close to 30 and contemplating marriage and I dont know if my income will be enough to sustain myself, wife and maybe kids as they come in. Or it will be advisable to leave the job and seek a better/high paying job

I will like to get your candid opinions

Thank You

you can go ahead and start plans with a not-so-fanciful lifestyle in viem. Whatever you do remember to invest 'wisely' as people on much higher monthly pay still find themselves struggling within few month of being out of job.

The burden is becoming too much; this change na wahala oh; the little people have is still being collected through various taxes............Bye bye to banking be this oh

Use ur mind bros and stop wailing. Jonathan was planning a all-round VAT increase to 12% before he was thrown out. This is a 5% for ATM related services alone. I believe it wouldn't affect overall transaction amounts significantly.

Reuters got this one wrong.

With no regular meetings, ministers are still trying to figure out what they can achieve, officials say. Buhari merged several ministries but since a cabinet retreat in November, he has left them to drift.
THEY ARE NOISEMAKERS NOT MINISTERS

Buhari has surpassed all expectation already. After the conspiracy between IMF and bitter elements within to simulate a weak Naira and force Buhari into making mistake of devaluation, this is the list i expected. Just look at the barcanistat thread and this trash. Buhari has disappointed the bitter elements and they are mad at him.

Instead of divisifying the economy he was busy promoting cassava bread and supervising stealing.

Truth234:
The economy is not in the best shape but when you compared the state of Nigerian economy to similar nations, generating 90% of their foreign revenue from oil you will agree with me that Nigeria is not doing bad at all.

Currently, among such nations, Nigeria is the best in term of investment destination. When you look at emerging-economies, Nigeria is second after China, the 2nd largest economy in the world. Mind you, China has lost over $4 trillion this year, Brazil two years ago was most thriving emerging economy and currently relegated to junk by credit rating, same with Venezuela, Argentina, etc.

In Africa, South Africa is regarded as business powerhouse, but this year alone South Africa has suffered from global financial slowdown and Rand lost about 30% against the US dollar, 2016 economic growth forecast was cut to 0.9% from 1.7%.

The same thing happened to Angola, even after devaluing her currency, Kwanza, slides 40%. Russia, Kazakhstan, Turkey, Asia-Pacific (Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, New Zealand, etc) are all suffering from global financial crisis but somehow Nigeria has been able to manage it better.

Please note that this situation is similar to what happened in 2008 (recession), with even lower oil prices but because of 2008 experience, financial institutions, Central banks, etc. are making adjustments to their monetary policies just like this administration is doing. Even at that, Abenomics developed by Abe, Japan Prime Minister has failed. So Nigeria situation is not unique.

This administration is not A Government Of Failure, Tears And Disappointment but of hope, determination and strength, even in the face of global pressure to devalue and succumb to IMF cabal, We stand and soon we will all reap from this administration. Stay positive.

Sorry to call your attention with the mention this post will generate. I had to quote it in order to see it appear in another page of this thread. Beautiful post.

People are ready to raise the expectation of Nigerians on Buhari govt just to spite him and pitch the masses against him.

With the number of deadlines IPAD is issuing one would think there is no connectivity to help the get mental update. Ipod ko Ipad ni.

Was Buhari influenced by Ubar's threat 'also' to reject devaluation of Naira. Wailing OP. Cluelessness is hard to hide.

That's one man who monopolised corruption to help reduce corruption.

Few job and relatively higher number unemployable graduates.

This goes to show that Ubah has strong inside knowledge of the hoarding pattern of Dollars. Suddenly He offers his 'help' and without Buhari accepting his useless 'help' it coincide with the appreciation of Naira value. Just look at the wailing tone of the in-house wailers, it says it all.

beautiful you.
I run a home for fatherless children, all the proceed would have gone there.
Now am I patriotic or not?

Stop lying

CadetJayKay:
Unmerited increments of salary of Federal workers? Bros wetin u smoke did morning?So na Federal govt workers salary dey pain u?Hmmmn,abeg go sleep.U no complain of politicians unnecessary allowances na our salary dey pain u.Abeg go hug transformer.

Grow up bros. The federal workers gulp a larpe chunk of recurrent bill too. No be wetin dey pain you head must pain me.

Another Toronto on the way.

Sai baba. I hope uncle Joe is learning. Next is the reversal of unmerited increments of salary of Federal workers. What Yar'adua did was to give unproductive workers pay rise and thereby bloating the recurrent bill of the FG indefinitely.

Buhari needs no help from lazy folks. He is performing beyond expectation.

The same NOI who insist the FG pay her in salary in Dollar when she knows the implication of her action on the economy.

Wonderful. I wonder if this could have come had GEJ been there.

Jumas, stop telling lies. Official exchange rate remains less than N200. The N340 u got is a result of the few exporters who have earned dollar reserves not being able to satisfy the needs of those trying to import with dollars. The highest bidders are therefore driving the price up by desperately offering more.

kokomilala:
What Nigeria is facing now is close to what Americans woke up to one day in October, 1929,The Great Depression, occasioned by the Wall Street crash and other things associated with it.
PMB can tear a leaf from President Roosevelt's proactive step.He devalued the Dollar and introduced The New Deal, where about $700-800 million was injected into their economy via soft loans to smes.The economy bounced back.
What the Nigerian economy sorely needs now is injection of funds.Soft loans can be given to SMEs.The economy needs to be stimulated.

After devaluation what happens? Tell me step by step how devaluation will help or affect us all.

Correction: Why are we wicked to ourselves in the south-south, south-east and west of Nigeria?
As usual the usual suspects whose land the most hostile as evident in migration pattern accross the south is the first to deny.

Good. Fulanis and Urhobo Gbagbako is next in line. The Nigerian army has suddenly started capturing sea pirates under Buhari. GEJ i hope u r learning something.

I prefer Buhari's wakka wakka to our hard earned money wakka wakka after some ineffectual administrator finis him johnie walker for villa.

abagoro:
The fact that oil was selling between 11 and 20 DPB makes him the best manager in Nigerian history.

Don't forget there was no bloated salary structure at Federal level, no senate, House of rep at Federal, state level and many other duplication of posts we have today. It was strictly stealing and working for Abacha, Not even constitutional bottlenecks could stop him.
Add to the fact the government between Abacha's and Buhari second coming proceeded to increase lot of senseless expenses like workes salary with no corresponding output in productivity.

GenBuhariiiiii, is that you? Or you have a cyber-child on NL? Lol

I have to agree with OP, he was such a terrorist to the traditional stealing class of leaders that they couldn't steal much to derail the little he set out to do.
That didn't make him a saint anyway as he was a thief himself. He was the corrupt and indisciplined version of Buhari in millitary uniform. The fact that economy blossomed under him doesn't make him a saint though.
Buhari current challenge is the bereaucratic bottleneck of demo-crazy.

Fulani easily matches Boko Haram in terror it brings to Nigerians. When will they be formally recognised as terrorist? They attack and terrorize all over the country. If somebody somewhere was to sponsor a motion against their style of grazing and sponsors, won't it scale through given that there are minority tribes in the senate and house of rep?

Praying and fasting isn't a bad idea. People have ignored the place of work (being productive) and thus see no need to ask God for wisdom and direction. Everyone wants the biggest salary possible for the smallest workload yet the things we crave money for require lots of work to achieve.
The question is who is going to do the work for us?

CACAWA:
Op take it easy

So,
she rounded 16.9 to 16
She rounded 6.9 to 6

Why didn't she round 23.9 to 23?

But she is still better than PdP that think 16 is greater than 19.

There is nothing to take easy bros.
In calculation of this nature it is better to round off the last answer in order not to loss much precision. Her aproximation of the added figure is also inline because approximating it to a higher figure before using it in a calculation is wrong in financial scenario. For her to say N6.9 is N7.0 would av been wrong message because she was refering to the figure that is N6.0 Billion plus and not a N7.0B +.

asalimpo:
op why not pray that the wizard shud die. I think that will solve the problem. Or ,if you're so disposed, that God should arrest him and make him repent. Forgiveness and repentance is better though cuz hell is hot and never loses its sizzle. The tears of the damned is fuel to the flames.

They are real. Pray that they see judgement, speedy one.

enkay2go:
Fr,why can't you just leave politics for politicians?

Who is a politician? Everybody is, and has equal right to participate in it. Maybe in you own world there a certificate for being a politician.

lwisee:
****dont you know that when you take supply from 33KV line,the probability of having constant supply is high.
Keep wondering how many transformers will be as cold as ice water if a 33KV line cant boast of 1hr supply a day.

You are a liar. You can connec to 33kv directly. Stop lying. Plus 33kv lines aren't synonymous with power supply of the Nation or even a state.
