In reality $2,777 aint much... Boyz cash out per loading... Some bloggers get it per 6 months... Some pple for market get it per week... Some professors get it per month...

Well it's still a lot of money

62% of Americans don't have $1k saved against their name

And besides forget the exchange rate, N1m can still buy you a lot of stuff down there in Nigeria, more than that amount could get you in say Switzerland or Germany

Zane2point4:
How did north korea give usa sleepness night? So why did they come to the negotiating table? Isn't it obvious there economy is in shambles? You guys need to understand intl politics.

Don't you know that many nairalanders are morons
I've been reading comments and shaking my head

Auxtin85:
So many of us abroad are so scared to return home, my first visit to Nigeria after 5yrs of working hard abroad i was made to pay 300k because a friend transferred 3m into my account to help him buy goods for sale abroad. I paid out of fear, Nigeria itself is hell talk more of going into police cell in Nigeria.

I was held around Festac they asked me who i know in Lagos i told them nobody truly i knew nobody in Lagos that was when negotiation started.

It's a shame what this country has become to be quite honest


A big shame

oshe11:
No 4. Beg 1000 people to give you #1000 each

LMAO

Daeylar:
Thanks I'm tired of the fake deep nonsense they always start whenever they see a rich person dressed simple. And those that love putting down blacks, may self hate not kill them one day.



It's the comparison that kills me. They can't just accept that everyone has his or her own style and will dress accordingly, they just have to compare.

Very simple logic, after comparing, they start one kind of fake deep nonsense about how you the truly rich don't show off and blah blah blah.

There problem is that they always want to compare and dictate how people who have money should live. When they see someone who had money dress simple. They praise the person. When they see someone do the opposite. They become angry with the way the person dresses and start preaching about how to spend money.

Let me tell you something

It's not about putting the black man down, its about telling it as it is.

I believe however that everyone should live their life as they please, as long as it is legal.

However, the black man has dysfunctional behavioural patterns that he needs to change

That said, in Africa, or let me say Nigeria, it's not about the expensive clothes, or the blings or the whips,it's about the MOTIVE

Black man like to oppress his fellow black man and looks for every means possible to do it, hence the resentment they get from those who are not in that bracket, as you can see in the comments

A lot of black folk appear rich but are flat broke, and this behaviour can be found more amongst blacks than other groups


So what are we saying?

Thank you for this

dealbest:
Add value to people's life before u know you are a millionaire.. U must be a lazy fellow.. By the way I have been saving so hard and I just reached million naira, it used to seem impossible but with hard work you can achieve it.. Now when I wake up and look at my account balance I just smile

Congrats

However, it's a shame that the value of N1m 10 years ago when this thread was opened and today has been eroded badly.


But it's still a lot of money.

koolaid87:
Women hustle, guys hustle

If you're a hustler, and resent a woman hustling, then something is wrong with you

Women r hoes, guys r cutlass

Say no to double standards

Simple and short

Senselin:
Most people here are still eating "mummy thank you". What will they know? Read comments na.

LMAO; D

People will comment based on their world view na

No castigate your country pipu

TITOBIGZ:

this is also a good one

hunter21:
I would buy stocks

That is a good one

Kobicove:
How much is N1 million sef

Even though devaluation and erosion has bastardised the value of the naira, I daresay that MOST Nigerians dont have it, that's why it's big money

A quick statistic to butress my point.

According to NDIC, less than 2% of account holders have up to 500k in their account

Truthsbitter:
The problem is not living the way they like...
the problem is living the way they like and pretending to the society.....

At least according to you they should be proud of being a hoe right?

Its not about being proud, as you are right, there is no point pretending about it.

If thats what you want you do it

emelda86:
Hit the nail on the head bro...

When you ladies live your life without caring what thirsty misogynistic niggas have to say, you'd be happy for it.


If you want to be "good" fine, if you want to be a "hoe" fine, but whatever you choose, it should not be because you are trying to fit into societal standards or stuff like that

IamD18:
This is what you gain when you accept the truth and work towards it.

You lots are hoes, lots of you, the difference between you and the rest hoes is that you accepted what you are, made it official and started working towards it to earn big.

While the rest hoes are busy deceiving themselves and disguising as girlfriends with deeper pussay , fvcking and sucking different diiiicks and earning Sharwama, indomie-egg, okpa and zobo.

Congratulations wise hoe, more huge diiiicks in your pussay.

Last time I checked, it's not a crime to be a "hoe"



Live how you want to, and don't give a f**k about the society"a perception of you

that's all

nairalandbuzz:
North Korean leader not dictator

He is a dictator

Period

This one is not wise at all.

Any ways it's the Nigerian society, so I'm not surprised

Truth234:
They will lose it either way. It is the reason China's trade deficit with USA is so huge and the very reason Donald Trump is imposing taxes on import goods and about to announce another $50 billion tax on imported Chinese goods. It's not ethical to lower your currency value to gain competitive advantage.

The world does not run on morals bro

American govt gives subsidies to farmers to knock off competition from farmers in Africa/Latin America.


It's the way of the world, your interests FIRST.

KIDfurniture:
It is china ohh.. They own the world... Na them oh.. The feed America every second

China feeds America?


Wetin man no go see for nairaland

Truth234:
Europeans were the first to hold renminbi reserves after IMF adopted the currency as one of its reserve currencies in 2016. However, US dollar still remained the world's most dominant currency with two-thirds of the world's $6.9 trillion foreign reserves in US dollar.

Renminbi reserves is the lowest among IMF's basket of currencies, slightly above 1 percent, and will remain low for a while. Mainly because of People's Bank of China's intermittent currency manipulation that over time has eroded profits. Even, Chinese sellers prefer the US dollar to their own currency to curb currency fluctuations.

China needs more than just global trades to push Renminbi, 'Effective and transparent economic policy without regular currency devaluation to aid exports.' The currency swap ($2b) is good for Nigeria but it holds no meaning for over $11 trillion economy.

yea true


even China kerps dollar reserves


China has more work to do, but currency manipulations is one of the reasons why they are well positioned for global trade.

If they become more straightforward with that, they may lose their trade advantage.

So these things have ups and downs

nabegibeg:
who are they deceiving

Ogbonna is a confirm cheat

And you know this how

asuustrike2009:
To hell with USA

so hilarious

Fukafuka:

this must be Zimbabwe lol

decatalyst:
Can't wait to start buying all my stuff from aliexpress rather than those American sites




Will soon be feeling like a boss

Total African demand is insignificant

I hope you know this


It's when markets like Europe, the middle and far east shift focus that it will be worrisome

But Africa; D

omojeesu:
The Fulani crude hypnosis and spell is working on the other groups especially Igbos and Yorubas. As far as I am concerned, whether you like it or not, the Fulanis deserve to continue to have their way because of their unity and smartness over those who are supposed to be sophisticated and more educated. The sophistication and education rather than being advantageous have become an albatross built and sustained by selfishness and foolish pride!

Fulani man please carry go jo! Your juju is working!! See the power of African magic in full view in Nigeria my country.

Unfortunately you have a point


Igbos and Yorubas contribute so much to this country in terms of skilled manpower, business and in many other ways, yet instead of them to leverage on it, they are stupidly involved in a dick measuring contest all the time, arguing back and forth on who is better.


The truth is that deep in the minds of a lot of Igbo people, they think they are better than Yoruba and vice versa for the Yorubas as well, as if being "better" will add extra money to your pocket.

These people are just dumb.

sokera:
what is this one saying ? Oba of Lagos owns Lagos , he is the traditional ruler of Lagos and he is the landlord of Lagos ... deal with that ...

ok

DrKlever:
There are so many factors responsible for business failures in Nigeria. i own businesses and i can categorically tell you that most Africans are cursed.. They are the worst type of people to partner with. 1. pull them down mentality can ruin your business if you ain't careful. when people around you and other competitors and non competitors just wanna make your business crash because you're doing fine. 2. you can't work as a team when one person wanna take all the credits and glory, this is not only evident in business but also in sports, that's why you'd see africans dribble all the way to score instead of passing to the next man to tap in, the reason we may never win world cup. 3. Pride and arrogance won't let a partner take instructions from you or follow orders. We think we know too much. yet we know absolutely nothing. 4. Government policies ain't helping matters. dollars risen and falling line ijebu garri, making people cut corners to get cheaper goods and that's not good for a straightforward competitor. 5. Village people. if you like don't believe it, they are real and after any good that comes to you. Africans are the most wicked on planet eart.

Gbam

I was writing about this till I saw your comment

So I just shortened mine



Africans, or let me say Nigerians are just another breed of human beings


Who did this to us as a people

I like the analogy he used in starting this brilliant article, about sodium and chlorine


Team work will get you far, you combine your strengths to grow your common interest

But in Nigeria in which the majority are myopic, selfish and greedy, sometimes the team work of a thing may not work because of one partner scheming to cheat/dupe the other.
It happened to my dad back in the day.



But when two (or more) sincere partners come together, it's magical

sokera:
Those of you comparing what Oba of Lagos said to what this inconsequential Nnana said , let me clarify you people , a landlord can say whatever he likes to his tenants and he can also decide to evict his tenants if he likes... Oba of Lagos remain the Landlord of Lagos ... Oba of Lagos didn’t go to the South east to call Igbo people there slowpoke , who is Nnana to call a whole yoruba people that accommodate you slowpoke ... tenants can’t call his landlord slowpoke and expect him to praise you ... Nnana you are a slowpoke

Oba of Lagos is NOT the "landlord" of Lagos.

He is a traditional ruler, they are not the same


And his talk of lagoon was unfortunate.

ofai:
Fake Igbo how are you? Why you dey carry Yoruba matter for head like pure water?

Are yorubas the only people he has attacked verbally? What about other more notable people who attack Igbo, have you challenged them too?

Anumanu.

What is this one saying bikonu

Front1line:
Thank God more people will be enlightened about the bold face bigotry the Igbos nurse against the Yoruba n more Yoruba will be able to make beta judicious use of that piece of enlightenment.

This thing is two ways tho

Some Yorubas don't like Igbos and vice versa

A cursory look into the comments on nairaland will show you that
