130,000 is a lot of money. She should get use to it my dear that's nigeria for you. I as a soldier how much do I collect doll am not married but even the one that are married still collect the same amount wit me. Our officers are the one eating our money and we are the one doing the job is not like that in other country if I see where the will be paying me 130,000 I will live the wor for them. We are bening paid 50,000 that's people on my level. upon that we risk our life to save others but I still I thank God for that opportunity because people are out looking for the same opportunity but cannot found any. Lol u have to thank God for the one you have ok and pray for more to come.

POSIBILITY: YES she can survive well with 130k a month. All she needs to do is to cut her coat according to cloth in all ramifications.
don't you know that process of trying to live within her means can easily push her into living below the poverty line? since the chances of expanding her ideals are limited? Why not advise her on how she can come home with some capital which can simply invest in a lucrative business so she can still be able to kinda maintain the livining standard she is used to.

C'mon,with 130k she can go a month even without budget,livinq lavish and would still own some chanqe in the bank till the next salary drops but when we talkinq prudent then I think she gonna use that same 130k for a couple months and still float an establishment.....Time to talk about the money I could tell her about a profit•

tumababa:

if she is not planning to look for accommodation, just to feed herself and fuel d car,not staying 100 miles from d workplace and not planning to spend for a guy, she will have savings with dat salary.
You answer is not fair. But there are men earning such with children and wife, dependants too

Its only a greedy man that can't survive with that amount.
So, long as you have God, you can survive and invest into the future that
ROI can be over %1000.

Just spend money for your needs not your wants cos human wants are insatiable.

Erelu_Y: Our baby of the family is returning to Lagos from the UK and the lecturing job on offer pays around ₦130,000 per month. Can a single person used to UK lifestyle survive on this income in today's Lagos? If so, how? She's not extravagant but lives a basic, decent lifestyle: no partying, clubbing, etc, (her only weakness is she likes and does have a nice 4 x 4 which suits Naija's bad roads), just a typical acada girl. Your contributions would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

She probably could survive but I will humbly suggest she stays back in the UK or find a job in an African country that has constant electricity supply and clean tap water. Nigeria is a rough place to live in. We go days even weeks on end without electricity and to fuel the generator costs money. 130,000 naira is not that much because things are expensive in Nigeria.

Don't listen to those saying they know people with families who earn less and make it. Those families are probably eating garri and other less nutritious meals while begging their influential family members for money from time to time. To be honest, Nigeria is not an easy place to live in especially so when one is used to a decent standard of living and not suffer-suffer.

What! You don't mean it..when a family man is maintaining his family with 40% of that. You need to set your priorities right and keep improving on yourself with your meagre resources, with God on one's side that #130k will soon be a tithe. Believe.
AMEN bro

With 35k a month, no additions maybe a few extra bonuses of about #2-3k a week making the total about #8+ 35k =43k, anyhow families of 4 living on that and they live healthy.

OP is this girl beautiful with sex-appeal ? If yes, why worry about her ?

After various toasters, boyfriends and suitors drop their quota that 130k would soon be 450k/month.

Re: Can Someone Survive On ₦130,000 Monthly In Lagos? by claremont(m): 2:22pm On Jul 13, 2013
I would strongly advice her to remain in the UK, Nigeria is a tough place to live for someone already used to a comfortable life.

You are talking about 4 weekends.

The money is too much

She should have at least N80k left at the end of each month especially after the first 3 months.

I said first 3 months b/c that's all it will take her to get used to the trials and errors that is Lagos.

After that, her way of life will be on auto-pilot

Considering her being not extravagant, no partying and no clubbing, 130k monthly should be very ok for her.
People live on just 40k a month with family. It just depends on your priority. And maybe she should learn to adjust to her environment.
Re: Can Someone Survive On ₦130,000 Monthly In Lagos? by Nobody: 3:25pm On Jul 13, 2013
What kind of question is this? If u are anywhere near okay in UK why not remain there? Families of 6 survive on 75k per month and u are there faking what I dont understand. Am sure u are mad with happiness that u are returning ti Naija to live a better life.
Re: Can Someone Survive On ₦130,000 Monthly In Lagos? by Cwhyte(m): 3:35pm On Jul 13, 2013
Why won't 130k be enough for a single person for a month? Cashiers and tellers at the bank rarely collect such.
Tell her to save a compulsory 30k monthly.
Spend 15k on cards, electricity, fuel
Spend 15k on house rent.
Spend 20k on hair (my wife loves her hair gan, somethings she spends more on it monthly)
Spend 10k on creams and perfumes
Spend 30k on food
Keep 10k for unexpected expenses.

Please make adjustment to pay your tithe o.
