Babatundehy:
Lol, any remote worker knows what's happening in the country and beyond, even as your lies and scheme are obvious from the post, I think I must advice any gullible nairalander to avoid falling prey to this poorly worded trick 😂
No remote worker alive or dead earns 10,000 dollars a month, I have been in this world since 2017 and I know how it runs, I have friends with Microsoft in Lagos lol, and their salaries are Nigerian/African standard even as they work on site and not remotely, +-2kusd.
Even in these countries (USA/UK/Canada) how many graduate/skilled onsite workers earn 10000 a month, cross the 100k usd a year anywhere in the world and you're Ineligible for any government subsidy, grant or help, that's because you're well off 😂
After the tech boom of late 2019 through early 2021, It's been downhill, layoffs (on-site and remote), paycuts, and fewer jobs, my earnings have suffered a lot and been dwindling every year since 2019, my earnings only make a little sense in Nigeria as the exchange rate is currently terrible, if I told you in USD only a few people would be moved.
To those thinking about this liar's post, forget and trash it, doesn't matter what skill or experience you have, it's impossible.
normally I won't respond to you, but the problem with broke minds, is they think everyone is suddenly dull and broke like them. Dude, people are rich. And just to help you on how you can make such a thing. I'm a motion designer working with 2 clients and an agency. I make about $5k a month from the agency, the two clients whom I handle their social media account by editing and repurposing their videos using motion design pay 2500, and 3000, respectively. Add them all up and how much do you have. And here is the type of videos I do and this particular Instagram is my client. And he is a multi millionaire https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4OMLOsKQWv/?igsh=MTh6NGtubnFpc2lmaw==

This is precisely the aim of this thread and absolutely nothing to do with what the topic entails

More time and details was spent on advertising the OP income and job type than talking about car prices

He needs people to start doing DM most likely and it will lead to wherever he's prepared it to lead to

Or, by a long shot, it's just the typical African man show off

Everyone is a billionaire on NL sha, let's not forget✌🏿

Car TalkWhy Are Cars So Expensive In Nigeria by TheOldGods(op): 12:17pm On Mar 17, 2024
When I started working remotely about 5 years ago, I was earning about $5,000 a month. I can buy any car from usa. fast forward, I earn about $10,000 a month now, and I can't even afford a 2015 foreign used glk 350 if I am to buy it instantly, but the price of these glk has reduced a lot in the USA or Canada. You can still get a 2015 glk 350 instantly immediately after you receive a salary of 10,000 dollars. 10, dollars is a lot of money in the US. Even Nigerian Used cars are Selling for r 14-15.5 million naira which is about $13,000 (thirteen thousand dollars), more expensive than what is being sold in the US.

What is happening in this country?

The first picture is the Price of a buy now glk in Auction Export.
Second P icture Nigeian price which is about $13,000. Thirteen thousand dollars.
3rd Picture is Nigerian Price

Do not listen to him. He is trying to mislead you into hell. That is not the purpose of life. There is another life that is forever and ever and ever after death. We must live a purposeful life so that we do not fall to the left path after death and we go on to live forever and ever and ever. The purpose of life is much but to become the visible expression of the invincible God is the first purpose of life. The next one is for us to learn about God, His ways and His deeds and to become vessels worthy of God's divine kingdom
do you have any proof to back this up or you just read it from a book that was fabricated by people who also are like you with no proof?

i tire for the op , instead of us to stand against the profligacy of the government we want them to give us piece of the national cake .. 500k for people who currently cant pay 30k dey play . They will just print more money and things will skyrocket again $1 will be 10 million naira immediately it's implemented, btw how much is Nigeria Budget for it to pay 500k minimum wage for over a million FG civil service staff not talking if the military and police, and how many private companies can afford 500k to pay has minimum wage ... We just like to open our mouth and talk vaaaaaaaaa, abeji let's look for another solution to solve the mess we are in minimum wages increments is frying pan to fire .
They are not ready to solve the problem. They are embezzling money. If a private sector can't pay 500k, they should close down.

NLc and Tuc should never agree. If they can't pay it, they should shut down the economy. They can spend over 100k$ dollars in a single day. Do you know how much 312$ is in 100k?

The wages are not the problem.
Even if the government pays 1 million unguarded inflation will make all that money useless.
The aim of the government should be how to make things cheaper.
How can we use science and technology to grow cheaper more affordable food ?
How can we use science and technology to grow more animal protein ?
China has over 1 billion people but the feed them within reasonable income.
The question is why cant we improve our rice production to foreign standard ?
Why cant we have food processing plants to curb the wastage during harvest season ?
Can Toyota start an assembly plant in Nigeria for the whole West-African sub region ?
We have a production problem, if we print more money to pay more salaries, it will only get worse.
why can't? They are building 15billion apartment for vice president. Wike is doing that. Is that what our problem is? I'm other to lavish money.

PoliticsWhy 500,000 Naira Minimum Wage Is Small Opinion by TheOldGods(op): 11:22pm On Mar 09, 2024
We are so poor in the mind that we heard 500k proposed by NLc and Tuc as a huge amount of money. Recently, I've been basing and calculating everything before I make statements.

First let's check how much is 500,000 naira currently in dollars.

500,000÷1600= 312$ a month. That's mere 312$ a month.

Let check what the current prices of commodities are.
A bag of foreign rice is about 70-80k. Let's take 70.

Rice 500,000-70,000 =430k.

Let's add beans

Beans 70k.

Noodles 20k.

A corolla now sells for 8million.

As of today, the fct minister is building a 15Billion naira residential property for the vice president, it is not like the vice president is homeless. If we convert that to dollars it is
9 million, three hundred and 75 thousand dollars. 9,375,000

How many 312$ is in 9 millions dollars, that is being used to construct for the vice president.

Currently the presidential Pane is gulping billions in maintenance.

If it takes about 5 billion to maintain a plane, that's about 3,125,000 dollars.(Three million, 125thousand dollars). How many ordinary 312 dollars are in 3million dollars, that's the amount of people that will get paid mere 312$. Which is about 14$ a day. Which is 22,400 a day.

With the high cost of things and rent, it will take someone earning ordinary 33k, 30 months to pay for rent of 1million naira. Which most houses are going for.

Minimum wage in Rwanda is about $500-$600. Nigeria is not only richer.

The truth is our politicians are very corrupt and selfish. They want to embezzle thousands of salaries of people in one day

500k to me, is too small for minimum wage in this current economy.

It’s a choice bro, do what works for you. But from your write up, i can see you just want to live your life, you don’t want to shoulder any responsibility or be committed to whatsoever. Have you considered the positive side of marriage? Wait till you grow old when you don’t have strength to do anything for yourself then you will understand (loneliness). Na the same Bible talk say “He who finds a wife findeth good thing”
if he has small change he can employ a nanny. What do you people even think. Lol. And ofcourse he will have a lot of change cause he has more to save on himself that he didn't do on the wife and kids.

They actually can. Don't underestimate the power of the government. They could
- ban binance website and app from opening in Nigeria, like they did Twitter some years. Forget using VPN, Binance will ban you straight.
- They could request KYC details of Binance users and go after them via BVN. Remember Binance has office in Abuja and they are willing to cooperate with the government.
-They could track the phone numbers used to operate OTP on binance and go after them via BVN.

etc etc.

Just pray that the government doesn't go full force against Binance users in Nigeria. Don't forget how the US government dealt seriously with the CEO of Binance

*Politeness*
It will bring in people and investments.
Don't you see US always accusing China of intentionally devaluing their currency?
Example, if Togo devalues their currency you'd be going there to buy stuff and vacations, but if they inflate their currency you won't go
did you hear yourself? China devalue their currency because they produce almost 70% of everything being used in the world today. All phone parts, cars etc, even if they devalue, the demand for their money will still be higher. How can Nigeria devalue when they don't produce and export nothing. Infact due to the devaluation, companies are now leaving the country. Alot of companies has exited the country to go to other countries where the dollar is stable. And you're here capping .
