^^^ That is where you are wrong. Ignorance is not bliss . . . if you choose to believe in what you cannot substantiate. . . that is definitely your choice, but the minute you reach beyond your mind, and decide to spew your belief out in the open, be ready to be questioned and have your belief scrutinized.

Once again, you suggest that what the "WESTERNERS", and numerous Nigerians agencies( Both Governmental and Non-Govermmental),came up with, on this  is wrong. There data and information all wrong. . . you suggest that even though your Government has gone out of its way to corroborate these claims, it is  all false . . .I ask you . . . why should we believe what you have to spew? Where is your evidence?

I've disagreed with you on occasion, and I've agreed with you when situations call for it. I just can't get past how these kids are so dense in the skull like theres nothing up there. I fear for the future of Nigeria.

This is the type of topic that explain why so much poverty is tolerated in Nigeria. Most of these people do not even know the number of people that have access to internet or cable in Nigeria. Since most of the people they know are like them, that is all they know about Nigeria.

It is this same standard that is used to raise university fees. What we forget is that most Nigerians still live in rural areas, not rat race cities. So if those in the cities send their kids to expensive schools and live on 100 dollars a day, so is the rest of Nigeria.

We need to cry for this Country and revolution is over due because of insensitive nonsense spew by fellow Nigerians that refuse to accept that most people live below one dollar a day. Many of you do not even know what is 1-0-1, 0-0-1 or 1-0-0.

No wonder, they claim gadgets reconfigured by college drop outs like Gate and Job as their gods. You people make me sick. Eventually you and those you benefit from will soon be wiped out before sanity can return to Nigeria.

Obvious statistics and well know minimum wage are ridiculed when in fact many people make less than that. Is that why a man leaves home before his wife and children can get up to ask him for money? I feel sorry for these fools. Sio!

Unfortunately, revolution sweeps everyone.

Nice one Violet, this is what I wanted to see.

@ Violet, thank God you've broken it down well enough. I'm ΩØƚ Ǟ corper, might not be in Ǟ couple ☺₣ years ǡŋ₫ what I posted wasn't my write-up, but someone else's opinion which I saw sense in. Why people would attack honest opinions just because it doesn't suit their ideology is over and beyond me

violent:


When i was a serving Youth Corper in Ibadan, my "allawee" was 9500 naira and the secondary school i was employed paid an additional 2000 naira on a monthly basis, a total income of 11500. 

Guess what?  I survived!!!  . . .and no, this wasn't many years ago!

Eating two square meals a day was never the problem.  A carton of big sized noodles (which i will never finish in a month) sells for 1000 naira, A crate of egg goes for 150 naira (on the expensive side), A big slice of bread sells for 100 naira (i consume 2 a week, brings the budget to 800 naira a month)

That rounds up to 1950.  By the time i include buying Yams, Garri, Rice and pepper (enough for myself for a month). . .all of that will only take my budget close to 3000 naira per month.

I paid 3500 naira a month for my room (yes in Ibadan, there are room rates as low as this). . . .and 80 naira a day for my transport (40 naira to and fro)


All that still leaves me with 2600 naira a month in savings!. . .And i can still afford to recharge my phone with approximately 1500 a month.  I had two lines.  An MTN line for making midnight calls and a glo line for making free glo to glo calls.

Youre a disgrace, not only to yourself but also to mankind as a whole, I'll tell you why in a bit.

But, first, let me tell you that youre a freaking disgrace to the Nigerian Education System and the fact that you even hold a degree from any University in that country shows the level of decadence that country has fallen into. 10 more of your likes running around shows that theres no hope for Nigeria anytime soon. And your fellow didirins come dey hail you, you probably come dey fancy yourself as a scholar of inestimable repute, abi?

What you did up there is like a person asking "Whats 2+2?" and you start telling us about the history of Pope John Paul I.

Wetin concern us with how much you earned as a Corper? Is that the question at hand here? Are we asking how you survived as a Corper or are we debating whether or not Nigerians survive on less than $1/day?!

Youre a horrible shame! Jesus, whats wrong with these kids? Is idiocy mixed in the water you all drink or what?

How many Graduates are employed in Nigeria? Do statistics show that more than 80% of Nigerians live in abject poverty or not? Is the minimum wage in Nigeria N18000 or not? Look im mouth like "Egg on the[b] expensive[/b] side".

Youre so used to poverty that you actually think youre enjoying. Noodles?! Bread?! N3500 for a room and you come on here to boast about how you were living in total squalor. N2600 in savings every month equates to less than $7/month and thats what you used to buttress your point?!

My friend, honestly, I shiver at the thought that your likes will one day procreate and pass your genes along to another human to continue a generation that will spread your wealth of ignorance.

God!

If we are to assume that ~ Naira 11000 takes care of a single adult(assuming Naira 2600 goes to transport cost each month) Note: We have not considered cost of paying bills like Electricity,taxes, tv bill, water etc. Then one could conclude that to maintain a family of at least 3 on this tight budget described by @Violent, the family would need to bring in about Naira ~26,000 each month, an amount well above minimum wage. Or is this a wrong assumption?

I think you got him totally wrong.  He was explaining to those who claimed it's impossible for anyone to survive with less than 2 dollars a day by citing an example using his own experience during his NYSC. If you read his post from the beginning, you'd see you are both saying the same thing.
