This photographer only makes enough money to survive

And he feels stuck. [View in browser](=.9JGizJ5e6saF3u3m_0f8pYFminJJ84o7i0tytfyyokc) [Zikoko Daily] 3 April, 2023 Hey . I bought some eggs with cash yesterday, and that’s how I know this cash scarcity wahala is slowly going back to the pits of hell where Meffy dug it from. Here’s to hoping it gets even better soon. 🤞🏽 For #NairaLife, our subject is a 27-year-old photographer who’s been a jack of all trades for the past eight years, but he still struggles with an unstable income.

Tell me something interesting about today’s #NairaLife. On one hand, his biggest preoccupation since secondary school has been to leave behind the quality of life he had growing up and do more for himself than his parents ever did. Sadly though, everything he's done so far has yet to work out how he’d hoped. I wanted to speak to someone working in the gig economy because there's an unspoken belief that they succeed better than 9-5ers. Clearly, that's not always true. I actually always thought relying on gigs was risky, especially because of income instability. I might be wrong, but I've seen more stories about people who hacked it than those who didn't. If you weren't writing full-time, what gig do you think you'd do? LMAO. It'd probably still be writing-related. Oh God. Honestly, same. Any bits that didn't make it to the story? He plans to transition into tech if everything else fails. He recently paid for a product design course and is currently attending classes.
