I rejected the same amount for an online job that was even part-time...

I was offered $400 for an online tech job and I refused it, only tech guys will understand. It takes a lot of effort to gather tech skills, mine even involved using a foreign language which I learned for so many years, so I just felt it was too small and that was why I rejected it.

Trossard:


You can still help if you actually wanted to . But it's fine

HOW??

nairalee:
I know a guy wey dey collect over 3m a month yet e dey broke before month end. Whenever this guy dey complain I go just dey look myself for mirror dey shame.

That means he is financially irresponsible

[quote author=MrRight007 post=135054563][/quote]

The thing write code in 50 seconds max what 10 engineers struggled to write in 5 months and yet it cost 10k per month. Tech job is no more as glamorous ojare...im sure that job is now off market...siddon there dey sakara

uuzba:

That's why he is comfortable living with it here in Nigeria .
Nonsense.
Minimum wage in Nigeria is N70,000
People are earning it and are not dead.
Minimum wage in UK is roughly £11 per he. Or say £2000 a month.
Convert to Naira. N3,600,000.
And you will still FINISH all of it in UK and be begging for overtime. Because you are locked down and tied to spending that money in UK.
Abeg leave the guy and his N550k. He's doing much better than many of you overseas.
Small earnings,
Small expenses.

Theirs is better

We have 133m will no hope of seeing 1k the next day. Multidimensionally poor. USA still got lots of govt policies that can assist these kind of families. Definitely not Nigeria. Which is why i hate all the side picking. Wasting loyalty and solidarity for what's never changing.

Believe it or not, difference is not as much as you think. In Nigeria you can make all sorts of money on the side invisible to the govt, you can even be a millionaire and pay no taxes.
Not so in US. The govt sees almost every kobo and you only qualify for govt stuff if you're making almost no money!

janeedema:
Seriously?

N550,000 * 12 = N6.6m

N6.6m * 6 years = N39,600,000m

Are you saying a tokunbo vehicle costs at least N39,600,000m?

Like I know people lie, but this your lie is so unintelligent.

lol... This one does not know there are Tokumbo vehicles of 54m ..that are at least 16 yrs old



Don't always let mgbeke side of you always show itself when u see comments like these


See how she infused 'atleast' into my statement... So u are also dubious

Dubious mgbeke

Standalone09:


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

6.6m clean toks?


Abeg where?


Even Corolla 2003 (bolt) na 8 to 9m and that's a 22 year old small car

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

Baba Olowo maximum respect
Pls do your boy something for Easter🙇

Kingozymandias:


I earn almost 1m monthly (very close) yet I get broke after week 2. Omo this country is finished.
.the amount. I have to dash monthly from beggy beggy friends is too damn much.

You need financial discipline... Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you're reckless with spending but you might be spending on things that you shouldn't. Go through your bank statement for the past 3 months and adjust your living

Earning in naira is kinda frustrating sha, currently earning #800,000 with a firm, fuel and feeding sucks 50 percent, while the remaining goes to rent, data and siblings.

Okay. Noted. What’s your point?

Well, even though I am aware that school fees aren’t paid monthly, and I know that truly rich people don’t talk like this.

Let me go with your flow

What’s the idea behind coming online to brag about now much you pay for your daughter’s fees when you can clearly see how some people are screaming that they can barely eat?

What joy does it give you to make others feel like you are better off?

You clearly lack wisdom. It’s people like you that bring attacks to your poor wife and kids at home because your life’s worth is based on how others perceive you.

Life is but a breath, sir.

A man’s life doesn’t constitute of what he has. Stay humble. Even if you achieved what you have through hard work, encourage others not flaunt to them how much your daughter’s fees is. Completely unnecessary.

Ewedegubbler:
My daughters monthly school fees is 1.5m naira equivalent

Roger that

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

Some earn as low as #74k

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.

So how much do you earn per month?

Iseddy:

You need financial discipline... Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you're reckless with spending but you might be spending on things that you shouldn't. Go through your bank statement for the past 3 months and adjust your living

Even I know I am reckless with spending , I spend about 250k every month on sports betting

Acidosis:
Although Nigeria is in a bad shape, 550k is still great. More important is that we all have to live within our means. The value of money lies in how wisely you use it to meet your needs and achieve your goals. The figure is secondary.

E.g., a good pair of shoes (not necessarily a branded original) typically starts at around 70k in Idumota. But, you can still get a good quality, custom-made pair from a local shoemaker in your neighborhood for half the price. Again, the value of money lies in your hands.

Before you spend 20k eating out at one sitting as a single guy, think about paying a caterer to cook same food for you in your house. You will get more quantity (large enough to store), better taste, more value for your money, and better hygiene. Again, the value of money lies in your hands.

Whe u add side hustles, how much total?

QuinQ:


Whe u add side hustles, how much total?

No side hustle oo

People are quick to compare naira to dollars/pounds,550k is decent for a single person if you plan well.

adeoyekay:
No side hustle oo

So ok, 1K per day. Not bad if it is only food you have to worry about

justdream:


For family man nko?

it still dey ok for family man if you plan well

Is a very small salary in todays economy you will live just averagely

If not for greedy leaders that should be our minimum wage

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!

That's the reality of Nigeria presently o. Our wealth is stored in Dollars. Would you blame people if they measure their resources with same. If the country can function without the Greenback, it will save us a lot of stress in this country.

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.

Is he living in the UK.
All these guys saying is too small, if you check well their take home pay is less than 150k. Lagosians and their forming.
