After going through a recruitment website in Nigeria, I noticed that the salary they always write is N20,000 to N30,000. Some of them managed to write N30,000 to N40,000. Now I said to myself, these people that are offering these ridiculous salaries, are they not living in this country? Don't they know that life is no longer the way it was in the time of Jonathan were a bag of rice was about N8,000? Anyway let me direct my question to the house, can you do a job of N30,000 in this harsh economy? Because personally I spend N6,000 on food alone everyday (morning, afternoon and evening)... other expenses are not included like transportation. In my local government (and some portions of the next local government) we have not had light for 8 months so cooking and putting in the fridge is not an option. Warming it everyday isn't either because it will go bad after some time. So can you do a job of N30,000 a month and/or will you advice somebody to take that kind of job?

People are still doing jobs of 7k a month and you're still here talking .

N30,000 that people use to fill their tanks with petrol in filling station. I don't advice anybody to take a job that pays less than N60,000 in this harsh economy. And that N60,000 is if the person is single (not yet married). How much is self contained apartment? Is it not N250,000/year. How much was it in Jonathan's time? Was it not N35,000/year. How much is Indomie? Superpack size of Indomie that was N50 that time is N500 now. How much is plastic bottle of Pepsi, is it not N400? Pepsi that we were buying N130 or so in Jonathan's time

Oga come to Abuja you will see teachers with 2:1 collecting 25-30k monthly . And besides where are the jobs that will pay 60k ...? Just thank God for where you are. Nigeria is tough right now and people are desperate to survive which is why you'll see people settling for mediocrity at the expense of their future and time.

U are very correct
No jobs, jobs available you must be a specialist in the profession, to be a specialist u must have money to run the project.
Nigerian don't have savings any more they spend all what they earn of feeding, transport and housing, even money for medical bills no dey.
