What does soft life mean to you?

For this #NairaLife subject, it’s ₦500k/month. [View in browser](=.2ghQB4_D3G7_scUb6hAVPyeqIMhOfHrGIOtHPAePxOk) [Zikoko Daily] 15 May, 2023 Hey . I think it’s funny how just last week, Twitter people were telling those who earn ₦400k salary to hide their faces, but the babe on this week’s #NairaLife thinks ₦500k a month will solve all her problems. Then there’s me, who just wants ₦350k she didn’t work for. 😭 Last time I told you about Dumbelina — my neighbour’s dog who appears to be after my life — I said she now understands English. False alarm. She’s been doing an aggressive self-manicure for the past 30 minutes, and no amount of “stop it” has registered. God, it’s me again.

Our subject is a 37-year-old inventory manager who thinks she won’t feel as exhausted if she earns ₦500k/month or gets a visa out of Nigeria. Does she have a clear path to either option? Not exactly, but she’s making do with what she has, as she’s done for about 20 years. She definitely hasn’t had it easy. “In my first year of university, a family friend offered to pay for my accommodation. But after giving me the money, he demanded that I kiss him. He was married. Another family friend — also a married man — paid my school fees for a session, but it was only because he wanted to sleep with me. It was so exhausting saying no to him all the time. Thankfully, a church member paid my fees in my third year, and I didn’t have to go to this family friend’s house anymore.” [Continue reading her #NairaLife here](=.4Y8OPfWZT7iEguPnN7g7NvIqEXAbnNFBKZVrx6PZhrQ) =.Wx0qWKneyrcoNC5_26l28xaOrAasaApxM6d-tcob6fA ALL the hot babes will be at HERtitude 2023.
