I even earn more, yet at the end of the month I go dey find money like arm robber. And I'm even single. Looking to negotiate my salary to 2m in 3 months. Before anyone complains, I can do so because of the impact I have in my organization.

brain54:
I am not saying it's a great salary...

It's fair.


But why do the guys above have to convert to dollar and pound like that's the currency spent in Nigeria!

Conversion is the latest 🤣 craze in Nigeria. Mention any amount then they will convert. There's an award for it. Next statement is "Nigeria is finished"

QuinQ:
Well, 550K is about $400

Makes even less sense when you consider that even after conversion, cost of living is different in each place. The converted sum does not buy in those places what the naira sum buys in Nigeria or vice versa.

you dey mind dem.ppl wey no get ambition for life go dey talk nonsense. How can I earn 500k in a month and still complain. I Kno the economy is bad, but I go use my sense. God only made apples, He didn't make apple wine. I earn way below that and am doing fine coz I live below my means. I have a wife and a son. I have my little savings too. Na una Kno wetin una dey find.

Don't mind them. All of them wants to be saying they live on the island. From Ogudu GRA or Gbagada estate, it's just few minutes to Ikoyi or Marina and also close to the major offices in the mainland. I don't know why any sensible person will want to be suffering themselves and live far away in Ajah.

Cj4charles:
500k is no longer 500k three years ago.. that's the the level of damage Tinubu has done to this country

u are just dumb, even in UK £300 3 years ago is not the same now. Do you know any country with 0% inflation rate for 3 years?Nairaland is now full of people without common sense, that's why I only check here on weekends

Englishisamust:


Backend development

If you come be React or Flutter backend developer, you fit get remote job wey fit give you the least 50Million in a year.

Peanut Money

Thats 6m per year. It is more than enough for a family sef

femi4:
That's £275. Not really great

I no understand wey dey convert to pounds and dollars, is he spending pounds or dollars? What kind of thing is this

bloody liar!people just come here and type rubbish. I have 2 kids, I live in ilorin, kwara state and with 200k I get everything we need including cereals, we still buy like 50k meat and pepper though. Hungry people living on garri will just come here and be typing rubbish. I'm a landlord and don't pay rent so I know nothing about that.if you choose to club and womanize that's your cup of tea. A family can feed well on 250k

QuinQ:








Well, because bag of Rice costs 100K, add ingredients, provisions, medications, transportation, fees, NEPA, rent. LAWMA, DSTV, etc

so rice and those commodities you listed are sold in dollars in your village

TheStranger:
People survive on 70k

I wonder how.
With my expenses, that will barely last 2 days.

crossbreedwears:
Are we in the UK? 550k is big in nigeria oga

Not big per se. It's an ok" salary

francis5051:
and I they here d find 200k job

that's why they said al fingers are not equal. But God the creator of the whole universe will bear me witness that I can never be the smallest finger.

NwaliE01:
I can't work even N2m per month. To be sincere, it depends on your level of skills.

N2M per month to me is an insult, and I mean it.

Chai!
Nwali, no do this thing to yourself abeg.

A good salary starts from 1.5m+
Every other thing is management. Which is eventually gonna lead to poverty.

femi4:
That's £275. Not really great

Why are you guys converting the money to foreign currencies?

The #550k will be spent in Nigeria

QuinQ:
Well, 550K is about $400
Very good but not great

E no reach $400 Dollars. Just manageable in Nigeria of today

Will still take him like 6 years of saving his entire salary to be able to afford a 16 yr old tokunbo vehicle..


Very bad

daveP:
12/hr and 120/day. That's barely 3days wages in UK. He's right. It is small. But it looks big to any Nigerian graduate right now.

A professor at bar in a public university in Nigeria earns about that figure.

Majority of combined household incomes in the country is not even up to that yet parents still provide food, shelter, clothing, educate their kids, pay bills and cater for transportation and other household expenses.

The value of money is in the hands of the beholder.

Habbeyy:
why did you convert it to dollar?

following that Agbadorian govt official footstep that said 1 dollar can buy u heaven and earth in nigeria

Let him resign.

Habbeyy:
so rice and those commodities you listed are sold in dollars in your village

Believe it or not, there are people in this forum who don't live in my village

borie4u:
Money that I will make one Sunday 13hrs is even more than this. Let me say one Saturday with NHS for 12 hrs is equals that pay

You guys should stop this stupid comparison!
How can you be comparing the pounds you are paid in the UK to the naira someone is getting in Nigeria?
Are you spending in naira there? How about your expenses that are also in pounds?

mightyhaze:

This is wrong calculation.

It should be a year and not 6 yrs

550k x 12 equal 6.6m and that should buy a clean car
