I won't tell you how much I earn suffice to say it more than a million naira a month. It never used to be enough till I married. Then I saw the folly in my way and started planning.

As long as you don't plan, even if you earn 10 million in a month, you'll never have enough. You have family, friends and hos who want to rip you off. You cannot solve the problem of the world.

My piece of advise is have a plan from day zero. How long do you want to work for ? Prospects? Long term plans?
There is nothing as addictive as monthly salaries. You have to look beyond that.

And as a lot of people have said, be happy you have a job. If you are not happy, you'll never enjoy life no matter how much you make

This cannot compete with Call of Duty - Black Ops. That to me is the best ever:-)

He did sharia to the money. What a crook.

D##n. Lost about 200 pounds

Hi all, I'm a fresh graduate of Urban and Regional Planning from Federal University of Technology Yola in Nigeria, I'm presently making arrangements to travel to Scotland for an Msc in Project Management, Robert Gordon Uniiversity to be precise. I intend to pay the complete tuition fees on enrollment. Will u advice me to go ahead when all i'll be having left on arrival will be a little less than 2000 pounds to carter for my cost of living? Will I be able to foot/maintain my cost of living by doing any casual job while schooling as regards the 20hrs/week stipulated for "Tier 4" Universities?
      Please I need advice, though I don't plan to stay back there after graduation, I just need my Msc in that course and a foreign one at that,  I will be rounding up my NYSC by June Next year and hope to leave by September same year,  A friend in Scotland  told me its possible but i still need your candid advice on the issue,  Expecting your response!

I have been living in Scotland on and off for the past few months on business. Needless to tell you this, it is one of the more expensive places in the UK.
My piece of advise for you is this, if you don't have the money to cater for yourself, don't dabble into it.
You'll probably be working on minimum wage at 20 hours a week, about 6 pounds/hour which translates to around 400 pounds a month after tax. No deal. Of course you could break the law and work more than the required hours. Your academics would suffer I can assure you.

I am currently paying a girlfriend's accommodation - she lives in a student apartment, the cheaper one on Farmers Hall Lane, she says its about a hundred pounds a week, so that's 400 a month, if you are not living close to the school, you'll have to get a bus pass about 40 pounds a month on student discount. You could pair with another student outside the accommodation to reduce costs, most Landlords don't allow this. . . Then you have to

Then you have to eat, you can live on burger and KFCs, its not cheap don't get it twisted. Or you can cook and probably get your feeding down to 100 bucks a month. Please don't tell me you drink, alcohol is frigging expensive in the UK. In all you probably looking at spending about 600 bucks a month to be comfortable.

I think you should not rely on working to pay your living expenses. But then you might be able to scrape through. I'll tell you this, the hustle is hard. Very hard.
Can you apply for PTDF scholarship? I think they are about scrapping it. . .

I swear to Allah I raptured.

Then I came back. Heaven no sweet jare. All na scam.

No women, no alcohol - 72 virgins ko 72 virgo ni. All I saw were men. They looked gay.

Angel Mikel na im save me o. As a proper naija boy, I arrange am 2 halos and promise am woman for Obalende when next e come Lagos,

I didn't write the Federal Common Entrance during my primary school days. Simple reason was I couldn't afford it.
The Federal Exams are much more expensive than State exams. Even if I had passed, which I would have, my parents were never going to pay for expensive FGC, they were pragmatic,

she's mine

@ Plappville,
I'm neither a Yoruba nor an Igbo man. Just an educated Nigerian and it baffles me when people think so silly

[quote author=Busy_body link=topic=582513.msg7526642#msg7526642 date=1294953109]How about the Mods yanking off such threads before they see the light of day, and these in a supposedly matured section of Nairaland too, hmmm [/quote]You guys don't get it do you. This is an academic research

Why are you being sensitive. . . Suppose I ask who is more prone to sickle cell, black or white would you have labelled me racist?

Common guys give your self some brains

Calldon, forgive my English. After 3 shots of okpanyi and akpeteshi I always revert to native English.
My Nairaland audience seem to understand me though.

Looks like it's the Yoruba women, seriously argued against it,

Please who is fatter?
Just honest opinions, I for one think they are the same sizes. Maybe I don't have a good representative sample for my observation

I'm left handed.

My mum, due to her own beliefs made me write with my right hand. Now I'm ambi dexterous.

But basically in all things, I use my left hand. Being left handed doesn't affect anything.

It's in the muslim world left handedness is regarded as a big issue. However, the Christian bible is heavily biased towards being right handed

Mr. Cock's cock is the same height as this guy, no offence

I have just sighted the moon. Allahu akb'r. Where is the ram?

It's sharia toilet.

Special one, that's why its expensive. Deal with that

beats you before marriage, will beat you during marriage and probably after marriage.

I laugh at people's stupidity and the ability to be always gullible.

I've heard this before,

he thought I was civilian,

The general has forgotten he is now a civvie, this singular statement shows how much respect the soldiers have for us civilians.

There is a need for the equivalent of the second amendment in the Nigerian constitution. The right to bear arms. Nigeria is not the UK where we have an efficient police. This bloody Nigeria, a jungle.

All these over age boys, abeg abeg,

babe, get out before it's too late. no good would come out of it. if he likes you enough he'll change. if not you are holding the wrong end of the stick.
