Dont know if this is the right place to post this sha..

Please, family men and women, young men and women, what is the average income a person have to earn monthly to be classified as "living OK or doing well" in Nigeria?

OR what is the average amount a person has to earn or make in a month if he/she needs to beat the poverty standard of living?

I really dont know how to best put this English.. But if you get my point, please help me.. Am open to correction as well..

Thanks..

Is it for a single person or as a family man?

Which is why I factored in miscellaneous expenses and savings... U do not owe family members jackshit.. U are only obliged to offer assistance where U can.. U can do dat from ur savings as well if U want to carry everyone's load. If U begin to factor in family members and friends, trust me no amount is going to really b ok for U

Lolz.

Must you patronize olosho?

Go and marry. Marry someone who is working or doing legit business, and who understands that right hand washes left hand.....and vice versa, makes the marriage worthwhile.
No much burden will be on you and you get to f**k your wife for free.


Op, the most important is to be happy while you live within your means and still striving to get better.
Even if you earn 500k monthly and you live above your means, you will never be contented and happy.

We need to consider environment... 200k might be good for someone living in areas like Oyo, Osun, kwara n some other South-west n Northern region, where the cost of living is low-moderate.


Wen it comes to Lagos, Abuja n some areas in South-South, it might not sufficient, we can say 300k in these areas.


It all depends on how economical individuals are also, cos to some people...200-300K may just be peanut.

To really answer ur question....I'l go for 300k as things are now.
