Na broke ass mentality be this, guy when the money starts raking in, your mentality will surely change and you will want better things at higher cost.

DroppingLiquid:


you are not earning up to hundred thousand a month. You are just a runs girl taht doesn't know how to manage money. Look at this twenty four year old talking so sternly. They'll think you've seen life because you're fvcking other supposedly high earners that use their money to chase women like you.

People with good money management know that 500k is more than enough with a family of three kids. No be to marry slay rubbish put for house call am wife.

wirinet:


Save 3m ke? On a 6m per annum salary? I have friends earning over 12m per year and they can't save zilch. When you have 1 kid in secondary school, 2 kids in a private university and you live in lekki, how will you save?

It depends. If you are single, yes. If you are married, no. Especially if your spouse isn't working.

Modified: Since you are single, I think I can refer to you as well to do.

[s]500k average salary in Nigeria? Same amount that can pay salary of entire staff of a small private primary/ secondary school monthly. Women and their wahala sha.[/s]

I have been reading enough nonsense from page 1. Among all the stupid opinions, yours crowns it all. Tf Do we earn in $$ in Nigeria? Or does your sister spend in naira over there?

Ps: 500k is not rich but everyone is a trillionare on social media.

UyaiIncomparabl:


Rich is another synonym for "wealthy". Please, get your facts right.

So, while saving the whole of that 500k for 5 years, what would he living on? Papers?

43M can not even buy a 5 bedroom duplex at Lekki Phase one. What's wrong with you guys?

ObosiUkwalla:
So I was arguing with a friend who stays in the states and he keeps saying I am a rich guy.

Current salary is about 512k per month (take home), and has an annual increment of 15% of your take home. This is aside perks of perdiem anytime I travel outside work base (15k per night).

Anytime he wants me to have minor something done in NG on his bahalf, he expects me to use my money and whenever I ask, he tells me not to complain that I am rich (he knows what I earn), I don't have a problem doing those things for him.

I don't see myself rich and pls guys, what can someone earn in Nigeria to be termed rich. Your opinions will count alot as I still find it hard getting the usual daily stuffs we all use.
I am not married and do not have responsibilities. My mom is a retired govt worker and other siblings are all working.

[s]English and poverty is the problem here, how can you say 500k naira which is 1200 us dollars monthly take a home makes you rich.....smh[/s]

Ayinke93:


So because she said 500k isn’t a lot of money made her a runs girl. Some of you are so stupid, it hurts my eyes. The fact that you’ve never earned up to that still doesn’t change the fact that someone earning 500k is just an average earner in Nigeria.

sumboty:
I read some comments and I laff,
500k per Month
6m per annum

Now let's do small analysis
Has a family man of 4 in family husband & wife and 2 kids
For feeding, let's say minimum 50k monthly
= 600k per annum..
School fees, 2 kids @ 150k per term
= 900k per annum,
NHIS family health plan 7,500 per month
= 90k per annum
House rent 600k per annum
NEPA bills on prepare meter 10k card per month
= 120k per annum
Let's say you have a car, or not 25k per month
= 300k per annum
Other expenses 20k per month
= 240k per annum
Miscellaneous per month 10k per month
= 120k per annum

Total = 2.97m let's round it up 3m
Giving additional spending of 500k to the above analysis making 3.5m spending per annum, then you have 2.5m balance as savings x in 5yrs = 12.5m
In 10yrs = 25m

Also take in mind, that 2.5m savings per annum can still increase if other business is involve.....

The above analysis is just an average assumption..

What I've noticed about many of us in Nigeria is that most of us want to get rich in a day or in one single business deal or investment.
Forgetting Rome wasn't built in a Day....

Kzinne:
that's the road to poverty. Never let your tastes grow as your income increases.

Any small thing Lekki. Is Lekki the only good place in Nigeria? Some of you mention Lekki all the time just to sound woke. Unfortunately, it shows your level of exposure.

NB: Lekki is overrated even in Nigeria's level. Yes. The roads are not smooth, okada everywhere, just clubs and oloshos everywhere.

meobizy:
It’s average salary in a working system. Nigeria is not a properly working system hence OP is seen as wealthy. If OP japa he’ll find out he’s only one level above high school graduates.

SUPERPACK:
Speak for those that have zero in economics sha not me. With that pay I will enjoy my life here in Nigeria and never look for more. I will still save 250k per month at the end minimum. I live a minimal lifestyle, no smoking, drinking, clubbing, womanising nor friends and don't fancy social attention.

Bro I tire for some people ooo the way they hype that lekki is something else if small rain fall booom everywhere don turn river….I stayed in lekki for 4 yrs and I tell u the truth apart from the hotels and clubs and some business hubs and houses that place looks like a glorified village

I stay at magodo now and I could tell u this place better pass some place for that lekki

I swear.
Very irritating lifestyle. It's even the morons that stays in the ghetto part of Lagos that hypes Lekki the most. I have been to all major cities in Nigeria. Lekki no just follow when it comes to good location with good living conditions. Just because it's overpriced doesn't mean everybody there are millionaires. Any small thing, you can't do this and that in Lekki. Magodo will give Lekki a run for it's money any day any time. Unexposed lots. We haven't talked about Dope places in Abuja, Kano and PH o. If it' rains there, every one will still go about their daily activities. And Okada no de move up and down for those places. Ugly oloshos too won't charge you huge amount of money too. There are up to 10 places in Lagos that are better than that Lekki.

Esales:


You obviously don't know anything. Even the pure water you drink has moved from #5 each to #20 each all because of the naira devaluation and you're talking bs.
