Please share yours

Whats your situation?

Greediness is being in front page with your post and also being the first to comment on your post. Chaiiii

My salary disappears shortly after i receive it. Times are hard.

Purchasing power has dropped drastically.
Modified
The volume of soda drinks especially Coke and fanta 35cl has reduced and the quality has reduced.

No pity for any Nigerians
Wow I can't imagine we brought upon ourselves tinubu's istration after what we have been through in Buhari's tenure of we regretting and in pains
A friend of mine in South Africa once said if tinubu gets more than ten thousand votes that it is gonna mean Nigerians are sick

And he is going to be celebrating any bad news of suffering, killing and banditry

Even useless gotv is increasing their price every day...upon all they keep on showing only useless matches like osasuna vs ameria

stevups:

I just like you because Tinubu is your problem. You better go and get shock absorber

Exactly what am saying until we step into the polling unit without tribalism and petty sentiments we will continue suffering

I don pack My load

Hmmmmmmm

My salary is well above the average but still it barely takes family of 6 to the next paycheck

As a prophet, whenever I'm broke I'll just call any member I know has money and tell them that I saw the enemy burying them in the dream and they'll need to come for prayers with a certain amount of money.

Once they come, I'll pray for them and pocket the money. I cannot come and kill myself.

This I have seen.

We the of Tinubu Zombified Online Warriors no dey shake. Our loving and caring Guinean drug daddy has made life very easy for us. We usually buy big size family bread for N10, our house rent is not even up to N100 annually. We buy bag of rice for N150 and our monthly stipend is now 5 million naira. All hail our loving and caring daddy, Amuda Yekini.

Omo this country hard Aswear

Me i can't just understand what Nigeria economy is turning me into, the sales of goods i bought last month, is not the same i bought this month

The funniest part of the salary issue is just that, it can't even sustain for another month, by 4th of 7th of that month, after settling all bills, the remaining na just to dey yearn

The only thing that help me is my daily bonus

if not, i go don hear whin

Doing absolutely fine ,
I had just 2 kids like my father and will provide for best .

Only people multiplying like cockroaches saying it God will that we multiply will lead to never ending poverty and children will grow with broke poverty mindset.

I earn 200k monthly but I tell you its not easy to save here in lagos especially if you're not calculative and extravagant the money will disappear within days

Its not easy o, but I dey spread my tentacles everywhere.

Hubby just had a salary raise,thank God!
I'm a business woman/ entrepreneur and into anything wey go add change,so I be freelance agbero.

So, I get one small land for house wey I take dey rear domestic goats, 5 is heavy, like 4 Ewure dey down wey don dey smell iru iru, so meat no be my problem just incase babablu Bleep up SURELY! I go soon put knife for one throat wey just break one of my big bucket because him won 4ck him mama!

NA SO I call carpenter, him nack chicken cage that can take capacity of 50, i buy noiler and broilers DOC ,throw put,run light buy feed keep dey train them.The one wey to disturb I give am DOGOYARO, if e no survive ,good news for my bingo. Some i dey sell off because my hubby don begin call me broiler as my body don dey full.

I come still add Foreign turkey 3 female one male.

As kerosene dey go up, I reason say charcoal too go go up, na so January wey every dry, I go village market see as sellers sit down dey look no customer. I priced one bag of charcoal 2700( something wey them dey sell 3500), na him I first carry 2 bags, then 1 week later another 3 bags)

So right now, gas dey, charcoal, dey, electric cooker dey. I like the charcoal self because he dey help my broilers stay warm.

I don book for one fulani woman to bring Fulani local fowls for me like 5 that one go just dey parade up and down dey born.Them dey tall fat, fulani fowl breed good die!

For the small land wey remain, I plant ugu, scent leave, egusi, waterleaf, okro, curry leaves.

I still rent another 100by50 call aboki last week to clear am then put ridges, so that place na for corn, then groundnut and beans. Another land wey person get for my side I won call the man weda him fit give me , I plan to put yam that side.

Last December, I travel 22, then on 26 wey I no say moto full ground as nobody dey return back na him me enter road back, so transport cheap die to carry foodstuffs.

My MIL no happy but I use style promise her say I go show Easter and I go dash her earring

Na so I pack yams ehn! Omo I paid less than 5k to move this yams, I reach my base begin cut yam soak for water, as the harmattan wey enter February dry am, na so I grind, that one full rice bag(almost50kg).

So food no be problem!
Agbado still dey!

Before salah i wake go village market go buy tomatoes, As I buy the tomatoes na him I see shombo and tatchell wey heat cash small and the farmer just they select am, me just use style as the agbero wey I be price am, omo! I clear EVERY! UPGRADED AWALAWA. The onions wey rain beat wey go spoil before them but am for trailer, I clear almost half bag.

Na so I dey smell like fowl cage when I reach house.My husband don laugh tire dey shout " Which kind woman wey I marry?" " WHERE did you get all this from"!

Story...

I begin watch and cut onions o because na raining season we dey, I grind am, at the end of the day, na three custard medium sized bucket he full, the remaining I dash one of my stupid friend wey no gree get sense.

As for the tomatoes,shombo and tatashe, omo even if I get 5 children he go carry me reach 4 months. I have a double chest freezer so every xey well blocked.

So when my neighbours dey speak through their nose, dey complain how 100k no dey reach for one month for house runs, me go dey tap my feet, a bottle of chilled ogogoro for my front, I go follow them dey agree.
I no dey tell people wey dey form how to get sense.

Oh! I forget to add,
* whispers*

I dey buy firewood specially to dry up those UPGRADED BASKET OF FARM AWALAWA.
Una dey expect say make I use my gas or charcoal take dry full basket of tomatoes?I DEY MAD?!

I rather use the 'excess 'money buy one crate of Heineken put for fridge.

I can only but imagine how the average Nigerian is able to survive. I'm a medical doctor, I have 2 jobs, my basic salary in my main job is 250k, and I earn 150-200k from the second job (locum) depending on how many days I work there. But still, life isn't easy and this makes me wonder how Nigerians earning below 100k are able to survive.

It is not easy as the income is almost the same and for some of us our family size has increased and assisting some less privileged around has become regular. I thank God all the same that me and my family don't beg to feed. God is helping us.

Hmmmmmmm

Bye bye

Chaii buhari don spoil everything

If you took the five worst presidents in the history of Nigeria and added them up they would not have done near the destruction to our country as M.buhari and his istration had done.

Your wailing has just begun and from the look of things it'll stay on till the end of the next EIGHT years! Embittered Eboe boy.

Why would you even accept a job of that low and embarrassing amount, as a graduate??

That's why Nigerians over the sea don't want fellow Nigerians to come over. So that they won't start their neo-slavery mentality of begging employers for low pay jobs, just to have something to eat..

Write a proposal and send to several companies in Abuja there, you might get lucky...

All I can say is omo

I dey breathe

You earn 20K as a graduate? Like seriously?

If this is true, then, I'll advise you do the following;

Firstly, hustle like a graduate which you truly are. This means to embark on personal development programmes that will transform your condition such that you'll be at par with your level of education. Even if you're a teacher, you should develop (through trainings) and position yourself (by changing your location or connecting with people who are making progress in your field) such that you too will be earning big. My father used to say; 'Ogas no dey for strength, na brain dem dey pay for'. 20K no be wetin normal person suppose dey manage talk less of a graduate.

Secondly, if the above does not work. i.e if you can't make it as a graduate, then, it's high time you dumped your certificate somewhere and hustle like a non graduate. Enter street, meet with people and study how you too can make legit money. It can be through driving UBER, handiwork, barbing, computer skills (not Yahoo Yahoo please) vocational skills or even mason jobs. Bottom line is that if your certificate fails you, your number 6 shouldn't. Learn a skill and specialize on it, you self go make cool cash.


Peace be with you brother!

PS- most of us (graduates) have this mentality that we deserve so much more because of our qualification. This economy is no respecter of anybody, hence, son of man gat hustle like he has his back against the wall. No dulling and resting on peanuts.
