Just wondering how much is required for one to have a good life in Nigeria.

Why most of our youths are migrating abroad is because of the unfair advantage of being paid more even doing odd jobs abroad.

So how much can one earn in Nigeria as a salary to be comfortable?

Also I know this might be location dependent.

As people living in lagos, porthacourt and Abuja might have more living expenses.

Also what are other ways to earn if the salaries of available jobs are not enough?

Let's share ideas

Things are getting worse everyday in Nigeria and high salary is not the solution.

If Nigeria becomes habitable, an average salary can sustain.

Standard of living is getting f@cked up by the day so really nothing is sustainable. What I suggest is getting a good standard salary alongside a savings of about #3M to fall on should that source of salary cut short.

While you also try setting up some side hustle most especially.

Las las We go dy alright.

Same amount one can buy a matured cow....
APC Government is paying 30k minimum but they earn in millions ...and his allowance can transform a local government area and it's entire population.
Meanwhile price of a bag of rice is far above 30k.......cracy country..

Your standard of living depends on your location and how you budget your income. For an average Nigerian, I believe anything from 200k and above should be enough.

Let's assume Lagos is Nigeria, I think with 150k monthly, you are good to go as a single man/woman. It's a different issue entirely if you're married.

Nothing o my brother, things are getting more expensive in the market everyday. Mudu of corn I buy 130 before to make pap is now 400.

Nothing concern pikin, when time for food reach she go chop

Please fam patronize me. I sell high quality children Educational tablets. Order now on 080 6029 1729 call or watsapp before hunger go finish us

Depending in so many factors, you maybe able to live with 100k and above. Below are some of the factors.
1) Are single or married? If married is your partner working?
2) How far is your place of work from your home?
3)What's your definition of "comfortable"? Because that matters a lot.

As much as you can...the economy is crazy

I'm on 250,000 NGN/month and we are still struggling.

Food,
house rent,
children school fees,
light bill,
water bill,
car servicing,
generator and car fueling,
parents in the village,
security (vigilante) fees,
my own school fees,
too many bills jare.

Although, it became worse between 2016 till date.
Prices of everything have gone up almost 1000%.

It is unfair.

It depends on the state you are in... In Lagos, Abuja, PH and some high cost states, #500k is ok. Then in other low cost states, 250-300k is ok.

Enough isn't enough till it's enough

no fixed amount it all depend on ur life stlye

None , as a single guy ( 33 years ) I earn 250k naira monthly, and I swear down I still struggle to get the basic human needs. No shi shi to save by every month end ( I'm based in Lagos )



NB : I don't womanize , I don't smoke neither do I drink.
Japa things on my mind before it's too late , I heard Nigeria of today is a paradise to Nigeria of tomorrow .

With current state of the exchange rate.

The naira has really devalued

Well, it's no longer about high salary anymore..

200k is manageable it all depends on your state of residence

I'll really need to get answers too.

Manage what you earn as salary and you will be comfortably comfortable. Country not in good shape.

Must we go abroad to manage?

When take home pay can't take you home anymore..

Fixed salary
Cost of things gone up geometrically, ó ma sė ó

Way out : find a side hustle that you'll be getting paid in dollars and that's all.

At least 2milliion a month will make you comfortable in Lagos

Some married People don't earn up to 100k sef

250 -350k/month. Currently, anything less than that is grade 2 struggling.
