Which Ilorin is rice sold for 23k? Is it Ilorin in Benin republic or Ilorin in Kwara State? Rice in Ilorin is 40k

But most bank Atm gives only N1000 notes

Godfullsam:
I am married with 2 kids. I drop 10k every Friday for my wife.

But there is always stuff like red oil, veg oil, rice, beans, semo, yam, garri etc we buy these items in large quantities to last for at least 3 months including cooking gas. (I fill my 12.5kg every 3 months, we do supplement with charcoal and electric burner especially if she wants to cook beans and other foods that take time to done)

The 10k is mainly for soup and other minor stuff.

If you monetise the things mentioned above, I bet you will be spending about 30k weekly. You didn't add transportation for yourself

I was surprised to see people saying 20k oh. iIspent about 30k to 35k weekly and this is without adding, rice, beans, semo, garri, red oil, grandnut oil, NEPA bill and Data oh.

This is really a bad development.
FTC for the first time since I joined nairaland.

tomtomastom4:
I created this thread in response to the post on front page about ladies that date men who earn less than 100k. Below is the link.

https://www.nairaland.com/7292274/ladies-relationship-men-earns-100k

Of a truth, its not easy to manage such amount, but when one is already in such situation, you just have to manage and improvise.
Now like the OP of the above thread requested, here is the break down of how we make our expenses.

To start with, I was earning about 130k previously before we got married by March this year, but I changed job and the pay of the new job is 95k. STarted the new job around Feb this year, even though there was a loan I was paying off.. Need I add that my wife was working in a firm where shes paid 45K, but two months after our married, she quit the job due to pregnancy stress. Am sure ladies will understand.

This is our break down.
Monthly salary 95k
I remove 40k first from the salary and transfer it to 3 different acct.
The first acct receives 20k. This acct is not touchable except on extreme emergency. Its our main savings acct.
The second acct gets 10k and its for our rent, also non touchable. Rent is 150k per year. Before u say my rent is high compared to my salary, I like my privacy very well. and the cost of rent isnt friendly in my state.
The third acct also gets 10k. This one is for semi savings. This acct is touchable when cash at hand have been exhausted before the next month salary.

From the remaining 50k,
I send 10k to my family acct. I and my brothers do contribute 10k+ every month and its been used to run expenses WRT our parents and last born.
I gv my wife 10k for her monthly up keep. Its small. But its the sacrifice we all have to make for the good of the family.
I hold 10k myself for logistics and transport. I must confess, is not enough. But One have to strive. My wrk place isnt far. SO transport is N100 to and fro, thats approximately 3k per month. The remaining money i use it for other logistics. 4k out of this money goes for gas wch last for abt 2 weeks. And when we want to refill and there is no other money left, we fall back to the 3rd acct.
The remaining 20k is strictly for food ( On this food issue is where I "duff my hart" cos shes really managing things well and trying.
Sometimes, I really feel for her, cos this her pregnancy makes her to crave for things that is not on our food menu, but then when the money is not there, she just surpress the cravings. At times I feel bad.

The remaining 5k, for now is used to pay back a tailor who sewed multiple pregnancy gowns for my wife.

Its good to add that any small money I make like 1k or 2k on side hustle, I directly buy mudu of rice, beans or flour for swallow.

Its not easy at all. But there are families with kids leaving below that.

My wife is abt 5mnths pregnant, we plan to divert the 20k savings to buying baby things in preparation for child birth.


The truth is that the economic situation in this country is bad and so cost of leaving is very high. But then one have to survive.
But then in Nigeria now, how many percentage of the population earn above 100k. In fact how many jobs out there pays such as amount.

The only advice I have for ladies is that if you are not working and you parent family is the type need financial help from your husband after marriage, or you are the type of lady that is high class and wont settle for less or manage with your man. Plz kindly wait and take your time to look for a man that is RICH or financially capable of taken care of you and maybe your family. Please dont hide under the cover of you want to marry quick and then accept a struggling man only to start putting pressure on his head. Plz wait and marry a rich man.

Most responsible men wont really appreciate it if you are always demanding for things you knw fully well that he can not afford.


It is also good to note that no condition is permanent, things will definitely get better. A better job might come or my wife might get a job after her maternity which will increase our income.

The bottom line is, as a couple, but of you will have to work things out to improve your finances.

This your write-up just helped a brother

FalseProphet1:
I see you testing positive to HIV after 3 months, I see you becoming as lean as tooth pick whislt coughing uncontrollably.

I see you going to the great beyond to meet your maker to explain to him why you allowed a whóre to spit on your penís, I see you being directed to hell fire.

I see you and the whóre reuniting in hell to continue from where you stopped on Earth. I see her trying to spit on your penís again in hell but she can't cos the fire has dried all the saliva in her body, I see both of you screaming and trying to fornicate in hell despite the pains.

This I have seen.

Have you been to hell before?

This is not brand new. This is tokunbo

A bishop carrying his staff to a political rally. Is that one a bishop?

This is not 2013

Favfables1:
While I growing up, it was a taboo for anyone (except babies) to sleep on the matrimonial bed of a married couple....

So I can't phantom how anyone would feel comfortable lying down on a matrimonial bed of another couple and would still go on to have sex on that same bed, what kind of disrespect is that!!!?!!

Please confront those people...
And if they refuse, report them to both your sister and her husband...

What nonsense!

As far as Edo north is concerned, Alemikhena will beat Oshomole even if he joins APGA. He has been the only APC senator in Edo State even though PDP have been controlling all other senatorial seats for the past 8 years.

Buy Matrix 2003-2005. You can get it for that price and at the same time it would be ok for his height

God1000:
This is another sad news, may his soul rest in peace

And May the killers of Ms Deborah never know peace for the rest of their miserable lives, I feel like going to that school now to avenge her death, but I will leave that to the authorities.

They killed innocent girl for nothing, religion has done more harm than good in Nigeria

Not religion but Islam has done more harm than good

Try and act as if you are calling your boy friend whenever your boss is around. You can call a friend if you don't have a boy friend and pretend as if you are speaking with your boy friend. By the time you do this twice in front of him he will get the message.

InTheCloudySky:
Hmmm

It is not flesh and blood that revealed this to you but my father in heaven. Sister you are very wise.

Yes, my Infinix is less than 2 years and it has already started loosing it's picture quality.

NaughtyBrainiac:
I understand your point but it doesn't work like that everytime.

So many factors will determine this.

Your Location
Your pay

A Bank worker in Lagos on the same level/Grade as a Bank worker in Ilesa Osun state for example:

They earn the same amount, let's say 300k.

The one in Ilesa will get a 2 bedroom flat for about 150k per annum.
The one in Lagos(let's say around Ojota/Oregun) will get the same flat with same facilities for about 600k per annum.

Some people also don't mind using 3 months salary to pay rent in a case where choosing an accommodation close to workplace gives them peace of mind and significantly reduces stress. Health is Wealth you know.

Overall, it can be justifiable if one has genuine reasons for going for an accommodation that gulps about 3 months salary. The person will make up for it in other areas like cutting cost on gadgets, devices, vacations, gifts, wears. Some will not even pay tithe to make up for it. It depends on individual.

You said it all

That is my child's school

Frankly 4k a week is not even enough for a youth corper that is living alone talkless of a mother and two kids. Half of that money will be spent on only snacks for the kids. Rabinna is N100 per pack. If you have to get 2 for your kids that's already N200. Abi is it bobo or viju? Things are expensive my dear.

Tell him you would like to be on top next time you are having sex. Let him keep caressing your breast while you ride from the top. I assure you he will last longer. Also, it is not all men that like giving mouth action to their spouse. 70% of men wouldn't do it.

I lived almost all of my life in Kaduna. I did my primary and secondary school in Kaduna. My parents currently reside in Kaduna but I am now based in Osun State. I will advise you to remain in Ibadan with the 175k job than to move to Kaduna. I can give you more than 20 reason to remain in Ibadan
(1) insecurity- your family members would be afraid to visit you over there.
(2) your children will grow in an environment full of uncertainty
(3) no social life anymore. There is no cinemas or shopping malls.
(4) Christmas and Easter always boring because of security issues.
(5) you can not live in the Porsche areas because they are not safe. The areas that are safe for non indigenes are not beautiful except for barnawa.
(6) business is no longer moving as before
(7) stupid government policy especially from the present governor.

I can go on and on. My brother abeg stay for Ibadan.

Monogamy:
Here comes another question..

How are we even sure the arrest story is even real when Vincent himself has not made any statement regarding to that or testify to Hush's story?

You people have been really trying to come up with different stories but all your answers to the questions been asked are not even close to satisfaction yet you expect us to swallow una story

So Hush indicted 2 people in his statement to FBI, and because of that Us court ordered the arrest of Kyari without even hearing his side of the story. Please let's be logical with this

Stop to dey use your brain take do eba nah. Didn't you see all the evidences? Olodo

I had the same experience October last year.

I think it is a fair price, considering the fact that one has to pay for duty.
