Hubby just had a salary raise,thank God!
I'm a business woman/ entrepreneur and into anything wey go add change,so I be freelance agbero.

So, I get one small land for house wey I take dey rear domestic goats, 5 is heavy, like 4 Ewure dey down wey don dey smell iru iru, so meat no be my problem just incase babablu Bleep up SURELY! I go soon put knife for one throat wey just break one of my big bucket because him won 4ck him mama! angry

NA SO I call carpenter, him nack chicken cage that can take capacity of 50, i buy noiler and broilers DOC ,throw put,run light buy feed keep dey train them.The one wey to disturb I give am DOGOYARO, if e no survive ,good news for my bingo. Some i dey sell off because my hubby don begin call me broiler as my body don dey full.

I come still add Foreign turkey join 3 female one male.

As kerosene dey go up, I reason say charcoal too go go up, na so January wey every dry, I go village market see as sellers sit down dey look no customer. I priced one bag of charcoal 2700( something wey them dey sell 3500), na him I first carry 2 bags, then 1 week later another 3 bags)

So right now, gas dey, charcoal, dey, electric cooker dey. I like the charcoal self because he dey help my broilers stay warm.

I don book for one fulani woman to bring Fulani local fowls for me like 5 that one go just dey parade up and down dey born.Them dey tall fat, fulani fowl breed good die!

For the small land wey remain, I plant ugu, scent leave, egusi, waterleaf, okro, curry leaves.

I still rent another 100by50 call aboki last week to clear am then put ridges, so that place na for corn, then groundnut and beans. Another land wey person get for my side I won call the man weda him fit give me embarassed, I plan to put yam that side.

Last December, I travel 22, then on 26 wey I no say moto full ground as nobody dey return back na him me enter road back, so transport cheap die to carry foodstuffs.

My MIL no happy but I use style promise her say I go show Easter and I go dash her earring tongue

Na so I pack yams ehn! Omo I paid less than 5k to move this yams, I reach my base begin cut yam soak for water, as the harmattan wey enter February dry am, na so I grind, that one full rice bag(almost50kg).

So food no be problem!
Agbado still dey!

Before salah i wake go village market go buy tomatoes, As I buy the tomatoes na him I see shombo and tatchell wey heat cash small and the farmer just they select am, me just use style as the agbero wey I be price am, omo! I clear EVERY! UPGRADED AWALAWA. The onions wey rain beat wey go spoil before them but am for trailer, I clear almost half bag.

Na so I dey smell like fowl cage when I reach house.My husband don laugh tire dey shout " Which kind woman wey I marry?" " WHERE did you get all this from"!

Story...

I begin watch and cut onions o because na raining season we dey, I grind am, at the end of the day, na three custard medium sized bucket he full, the remaining I dash one of my stupid friend wey no gree get sense.

As for the tomatoes,shombo and tatashe, omo even if I get 5 children he go carry me reach 4 months. I have a double chest freezer so every xey well blocked.

So when my neighbours dey speak through their nose, dey complain how 100k no dey reach for one month for house runs, me go dey tap my feet, a bottle of chilled ogogoro for my front, I go follow them dey agree.
I no dey tell people wey dey form how to get sense.

Oh! I forget to add,

I dey buy firewood specially to dry up those UPGRADED BASKET OF FARM AWALAWA.
Una dey expect say make I use my gas or charcoal take dry full basket of tomatoes?I DEY MAD?!

I can only but imagine how the average Nigerian is able to survive. I'm a medical doctor, I have 2 jobs, my basic salary in my main job is 250k, and I earn 150-200k from the second job (locum) depending on how many days I work there. But still, life isn't easy and this makes me wonder how Nigerians earning below 100k are able to survive.
YoungLionken:
Why would you even accept a job of that low and embarrassing amount, as a graduate??

That's why Nigerians over the sea don't want fellow Nigerians to come over. So that they won't start their neo-slavery mentality of begging employers for low pay jobs, just to have something to eat..

Write a proposal and send to several companies in Abuja there, you might get lucky...

You can't possibly run a family with wife & two kids with 17k salary, coupled with spending 8k on transport, that is not possible. I'm very sure u have other source of income
