If there's one thing I've learnt from this thread it's that the poverty in Naija is real. Poverty also starts as a mindset. Mid Level Software Developers earn around 250-400k in Nigeria. Seniors earn 500k upwards, in fact sometime last year there was a vacancy in Lekki and the Salary was between 800k - 1m. If you work remotely for a foreign company as a senior and you're good, you can even hit 1.5m monthly. Before you try to argue, I've been in this industry for the past seven years. If you want to be like this get a laptop and start learning how to code. 22 Likes 1 Share |

philip0906: Bro, don't blame them. The country is hard and people won't believe you are earning that much. I am in the maritime sector and a second officer/mate. Average salary if you have DP is 1m per month but from my observation, i noticed companies don't like paying much just that they don't really have choice presently. If they have there way, they will prefer sacking everybody and replace us all with robots or machines. Capitalist system breeds Extremely High Greediness tbh. Companies are regularly regularly looking for ways to cut cost, slashing salaries, converting staff to casuals, Automating jobs by the use of machines, robots or softwares. Then if we are doing that, where do they think people will get money to buy the products they are pumping out? When the same people are been laid off, under paid or replaced with machines. I believe the whole system is going back to ground zero. In my company, they are planning to retrench workers especially my department because they want to automate my job - to be done using softwares and computers. Have seen the handwriting on the wall and am also making my moves but the question still remains - For how long will i keep running? For the past 5 years, have changed jobs 4 times due to company downsizing or industry becoming more competitive and shrinking. I keep asking, for how long will i keep running? Sometimes, i wish i came to this world has a lady. Wetin consign me, na to dey carry alhajis and sugar daddies up and down. Going to school, looking for job, staying in job, losing a job are allll fvcking stressful mehn. No wonder it is very easy to go into crime or become a prostitute because it's way less stressful, enjoyable and with more rewards. 12 Likes 1 Share |

I taught in a school for two years in Nasarawa with 18k salary. I used the little could saved to purchase Msc form. Before the admission, I got another teaching job in Abuja where I was able to save 600k within 6months. I finished my masters since 2014, I have never been able to earn up to my previous salary even as a lecturer. Unfortunately, we were disengaged last Dec in Ekiti State University without committing any crime. 6 Likes 3 Shares |

newinventions: I just hate the way some of you always shouting "poverty mentality" anytime someone expresses his or her opinion about unusual money/income of some people. The average salary in Nigeria is very very low, can't even be up to 100k per month, both private and public organisations. It has nothing to do with poverty mentality when you see someone exclaim about someone getting 750k as salary in Nigeria, it generally has to do with the fact that average salary is low in Nigeria. You can talk of poverty mentality when you buy something expensive and some people start to call you a wasteful spender and things like that 13 Likes |

maasoap:You're getting it wrong. The problem is not that people who earn 50k or about are been called poor (afterall there's nothing wrong with earning that low if that's what is available)...the problem is when they hear that people earn 750k and scream "Na lie"...At that point, we remind them that poverty has dealt them a hard blow. 12 Likes 1 Share |

Carmal90: I'd say learn HTML and CSS. If you can master both, then you have a solid foundation. There are loads of tutorials that can help on YouTube and they are free to download. If possible check out Traversy media channel on YouTube. Watching that guy's videos helped me a lot. 12 Likes 2 Shares |

elantraceey: It's poverty mentality How can they earn that much when they don't even believe it exists? If not for poor exchange rate there are some great jobs in naija (with cheap food and accommodation compared to living abroad, bar security, amenities and justice systems) 3 Likes |

The reason alot of people think the OP salary is unbelievable is because it is in naira. From the write up, it is a remote IT job which the company most likely is US based, there are many Tech guys in naija working remotely for tech companies abroad. The pay is just around $2k which will be far lower than what they will pay for same position in their country. Blame the valueless naira for making $2k dollars look so big. 7 Likes |
