Nigerian Vibes
I always wondered how the Nigerian fellas earning decent profits here fare in their home country. Jokingly, I even said a couple times to @belemo that I should move there and live like a king for the rest of my life 😂
Living Wage Individual in Nigeria averaged 42500 NGN/Month from 2015 until 2018, reaching an all time high of 43200 NGN/Month in 2018 and a record low of 41800 NGN/Month in 2015. source
42500 ngn, that's about 100 USD. Way, way, way less then what I earn from hive, let alone my other crypto shenanigans on a monthly basis. Of course, stuff aren't that simple. Corruption, political instability, crime and other every day stuff make life still miserable even if you earn way above that number . Reading belemo's posts feels so surreal with all the shit he has to put up with.
Anyways, I have a feeling I will get a taste of Nigeria very soon from the comfort of my own house 😍 Euro and pound crumbling, energy costs getting crazier and crazier by the month, big businesses closing all across the continent etc. Rough times are coming for Europe that's for sure.
I just hope the US isn't hit that hard. If they do manage to weather the storm I'll be golden, even just with the HBD I have rolling from my shitposting, lmao 🤣
If not..Oh well, I have prepared as best as I can. I have upped the house security, got some guns and stocked enough food for 6 months.
Worst case scenario, I guess I'll hit my contacts in Asia and relocate there. I think they will be fine 👀

didn't imagine you were a gun type of guy :) shit will become difficult but hopefully not to that level
I got new water pistols!
if that were a russian it would 10 times funnier :P
Why?
because Russians are busy dogging the draft, young men are trying to flee the Motherland in the tens of thousands. so they won't get sent to fight in Ukraine with little training and high chances of meeting the Old guy in the sky. I think a Russian jumping out of military pants would be a nice metaphor of that :)
seems like street cred is easy to get in your parts :))
Lol I liked the guns part

I spent a couple of weeks in Lagos. It's a tough place... I don't think westerners will handle it...

I think nigeria is coming to western countries soon so we will have to adapt. 🤣
Definitely, first-world countries are eroding... and fast. Third-world countries that adopt Crypto have a chance of being rebuilt in the decades to come...
Ah... doomsday!
Oh you did? What year? Nice lol

BEER.Hey @trumpman, here is a little bit of
BEERfrom @pixresteemer for you. Enjoy it!Learn how to earn FREE BEER each day by staking your
BEER.The Nigerian Naira has even devalued more than that. $100 is something 70,000 now and people earning 42500 a month are just living on nothing because the inflation is crazy and that is what happens when the President of a country is clueless. I currently live in Nigeria and sometimes I find myself blowing beyond 100,000 a week on food and other basic things.
Ahhh shit. If you don't mind, do you have a regular job? How much does it pay? Just curious
I am a dev and designer and I have my tech start-up. Sometimes I look at family men with children earning that 42500 and wonder, how on earth are these people surviving? It is crazy in this country.
You might live like a king in Nigeria, but we hope Nigeria doesn't happen to where you live. It's contrasting, but, hit me up when you start loading food up in your trailer. Hahaha that's preparing for the apocalypse.

I will, lmao
Trumpy; forget Nigeria, hit up Australia. The AUD is getting smashed at the moment. You'll love it here - floods, bushfires and then some more floods, then drought for a couple of years. Good times had by all!
You have platypuses too 😍
Ah Trumpy, didn't know you love a good monotreme ;)
I always saw you as a Wombat kind of guy. :)

Ahhhh the good old difference in what people earn average monthyl versus what they actually need. 100 bucks doesn't sound like it is enough in nigeria as well.
Europ indeed also in for something. I work a normal job in the hospital and with just my salary now since the increasing electricity price there literally would not be enough left for food after rent, gas, and interwebs bills. Thank god we are with 2 and that there is crypto so we are just fine.
But we are a developed country but I really fear for a lot of people and small businesses this winter. How would a a single mom nurse with the same job as me be able to pay her stuff?
Something is coming up for sure
Yeah, everything points to a really tough winter...Maybe two 😆
haha yeah, having everything at home is a feature a lot of people will miss. Special in a case of infrastructure collapse :P
Tell me about Ladyboys without telling me about Ladyboys.
A man of culture!
Ladyboys are still ladies!
I did some preparations myself appart from the gun thing .... I'm thinking for a long time to get one... and just not being as serius doing it
Don't be a pussy, get five guns today
Just get a hunting licence and a double barreled shotgun or something. It's not that expensive 🐱 Who knows, maybe we are just overreacting, you can still shoot shit for fun ^_^
The Nigerian economy is currently in shambles. Our currency is worst hit with $1 floating around 630-710 naira.
Most people in the country earn below $55 which is about 30,000naira while the cost of living monthly is above $100.
Poor economic decisions is the government is the major cause of this.
To keep painting it nice dollar is above 715 for bulk, the target is 1000 Naira per dollar before this clueless men leave
Well....fuck!
This is why despite I am a graduate,I am not looking for any job that doesn't pay as double or triple as I earn here😆😆😆. I prefer to work on myself and develop my small scale business atleast I will have time for other things. Funniest thing,I base in state where price of goods and services are at average compare to life in Lagos and Abuja. Meanwhile,not everyone earns that amount,I know some family men that only earn half of that per month. Thanks for sharing Buddy! Cheers!🥂

The gun part got me, you just want to feel secure in every way, financial, food and otherwise
Been in Nigeria has taught me alot, I grow my own food and the earnings from hive has been helping alot with the bills.
Am just glad you understand a bit of the situation here and I hope it doesn't get worst over there too.

You'll be "living like a king" in Nigeria until you go to a hospital and find out their electricity supply has been cut off for 8 weeks and like 50 people died because of it.
Anyway, I'm working on relocating to Europe, so if things get shitty enough, I might just depend on my HBD earnings while there 😄
