Pressure …..

More money more problems….

You can’t survive in this country with just one source of income

Yes o.

Newborn27:
If you're a man in this present Nigeria economy earning 50k monthly....at 40+

Omoh! I'd advise you relocate from your current location or go to rural areas and invest in farming... agricultural products are all selling now and you'd spend little on feeding.


No matter where you are in Nigeria...50k monthly can't start a family except you want to be having issues maritally.


But why wait till you're 40+ before realizing that you're finished Sir?

Time never go...start acting now!!!

sorry to ask o, are you into farming now?

So what about those who are 40+ and unemployed?

This life no just balance

Sirchiboy:
I am finished

Just ignore...some are still earning 30k

Habbeyy:
Mtcheeew. Find a girl of your type who earns around the same amount and get married. Born pikin send am go public school, you are finished but no let woke generation finish you completely

you're a single man that's why you gave this advice. A woman's money is her money, while a man's money is for his wife and children. Know this before getting married

My thoughts exactly...
I wonder when it has became a crime for a man to be broke.

to be that broke and looking for marriage is a criminal offence.
50k can't feed u, yet u deh find wife, what if pikin come? How will u survive?

Sirchiboy:
I am finished

Laughing.. the girl tabbing and yabbing.
I'm sure she's not earning even 20k

Lol

Some are earning 20k.. dey get wife and pikin and them no die

Race is not for swift nor battle to men of strength nor bread to men of understanding/wisdom. Ecclesiastes 9: 11
Work, Eat, pray and spend time with loved ones(parents, wife children, friends) and worry less about life.

Staywithbina:
If you are planning to get married and you want a happy marriage, make sure you are marrying a lady that has something doing and financially stable if,if not you go hear wiiiiii,if you like be boasting that you can take care of her and she doesn’t need to work,mind you ,hardship is still beginning,in 10 years time in Nigeria ,a cup of rice will be selling for 1500,and school fees 3m then I will know how you will fix that

hahaha,who told you that guaranteed happy marriage🤣😂!!!Dey play

millionboi2:

Do the reverse then and be happy

Many of the statements so far are encouraging you to encourage yourself with the fact that there are PEOPLE WORSE OFF THAN YOU, but dem no die.

That's very stupidddd.

We all have our unique life, and unique purpose - we have personal ambitions too - what are your ambitions? What is the kind of life you are dreaming of having LEGITIMATELY?

If you know that starting something now will guarantee you earning that good life in 5years time, will you do it?

Let's not encourage settling for less, the world today will give you money for two reasons:
1. THE MONEY YOU MAKE FOR THEM
2. THE VALUE THEY PERCEIVE THEY CAN GET FROM WHAT YOU KNOW


So, before you say you're finished.... What skill do you have? Can you market product for someone and make profits from it?

Go to legit shops that sell phones and laptops, tell them you'll like to take pictures of their products, post it online on jiji or on Facebook buy and sell groups ... Take the buyer to the shops, sell and collect your commission - this can be done for different items too - garri o,yam o, bag of rice o, oil - make use of your network - Whatsapp status.

yourself shamelessly!!!!!!

Above all, find a personal hustle and go all in - let your job be paying for feeding and rent, while you put your hands on what will better your life.

And hey, unless you have a financially literate partner who is also interested in growing in skills and brain, don't even be thinking of marriage - unless you have some decent savings thay can give you guys a headstart.

All the best.

You'll not understand

StUriah:


It is indeed a crime for a man to be broke.

Know that when you're broke, you will be disrespected, disregarded & treated with the most humiliating gestures. You will have to settle with everything less than your desires e.g., types of food, clothings, accomodation, types of women.

Poverty will make you see a local market woman selling fish as a beautiful lady

. You will stay in a 'face me, I face you' compound where you share same toilet & kitchen with lowlifes.

When you need medical attention, you will drink agbo or get treated at a local chemist.

If poverty is your portion @ 40 years old, you need to rethink your life because you very close to the grave. When are you going to live a comfortable live? Even if it is not too comfortable, at least enjoy small.

And by the way, no woman will want to suffer with you in this age. Otherwise, she would be fvcking around.

What's now the meaning of this?

There be many local market women who are beauty personified... Does station in life have anything to do with being beautiful?

This man 🤨

sorry to ask o, are you into farming now?

I'm in a semi-urban city where I don't have the resources it takes to farm... especially land...but back home my Mom is doing it as a side gig and it helps a lot....If I see land I 4 don dey farm tey tey

As a lady, I'm teaching and doing extra lessons but still earn triple of what he posted but it's still not paying my bills as a single mom of two.


Him considering marriage with that amount as salary in the present economy is risky.

No one knows tomorrow, but he can start acting for a better tomorrow today.

Just try to upgrade, pick more days/hours or get a better job/or a 2nd job.

Do not pay attention to them, work harder and with time you gonna be alright.

Civil servants in some states Still receive 50k as salary.
Half of wealthy guys in Nigeria are into one illegal stuff or the other.

Do you think it is possible for everyone to be wealthy? Just PRAY to be LUCKY to be among the wealthy ones. If luck is not by your side if you like try rituals and arm robbery you will still be poor.

Op, go gym and develop biceps and six packs and you will see rich ladies falling for you.

Sirchiboy:
I am finished

This is a needed rude-awakening. I hope you make the most of it... cheers..

RaulteeSupremo:
with a wife and kid in this precent Tpain era 150k wont even be enough.....as a ssingle guy u spend more than 6k per day on feeding if u want to eat averagely multiply by 3...thats 18k per day
thats means the 50k salary go just finish in 3 days

You spend almost 20k daily on feeding? That is 600k monthly. Your future is looking very fat

Makeup and skimpy clothes is the beauty standard for some

A pity really... Most people get eyes but Dem no dey use am see better thing, only bling bling dem dey see...

Us ancestors don't even care about that. We are aware that even without all that, someone who's beautiful will remain beautiful... If you like, give them rags...

franchasofficia:
In as much as I understand the poster......we must not forget that life's race and financial success is not always for the wisest nor for the smartest nor for the most hardworking or the strongest but of God who shows mercy to those He chose to show mercy.

If you are successful financially through your career/job or business/craft, just thank God everyday and keep thanking God for blessing the works of your hand because it is not by your power, wisdom, smartness or intelligence that you are successful....because some people are far better than you and they are still struggling to eat or secure a job or make a sale in their business or get client, so to all successful people reading this, thank God for your life and be humble and help as many of your struggling family and friends as possible because its not by your power.


You can be smart, intelligent, hardworking, reserved, respectful, good mannered and even educated and still not end up financially successful whereas someone else might be stupid, annoying, lazy, uneducated and dull and still end up financially successful. If you haven't seen these kind of scenarios in life, then you are still a baby, wait until you experience life more.....


Financial or career success in Nigeria especially is mostly about luck, family connection, God's favor and a little of smartness/wisdom.



To all those still struggling financially at 30yrs and above, please don't give up or get discouraged by words like this, just believe in yourself, believe in your dream, believe in God....if you have done your best and things aren't still working in your favor financially....try getting sincerely close to God in prayer and supplication and keep doing your best, believe me, God will show you mercy one day...if I can be where I am today that I no longer worry about finance....then anybody else can....just be steadfast and have faith in your dream and please learn a skill and find a way to start a business no matter how small it is....from next year I will be free to mentor interested Nairlanders on how to become successful in business for free

Qudus to you!
