Also: Employers need to make hardship allowances a thing. [View in browser](=.3JATvqhr3r-9XkNaQNjCnCvY9odPbboPahERJre5lEQ) [Zikoko Daily] 3 July, 2023 Hey . I’d ask how your weekend was, but if you’re a Twitter addict like me, you’re probably still recovering from the emotional rollercoaster Elon put us through. Anyway, if you’re a 9-5er, you’ll agree with the letter to employers I shared below. You might also relate to this week’s #NairaLife subject — not the money part, though. She earns well and has a sweet amount saved up, but the uncertainty in Nigeria right now has her scared that she’s just one incident away from going broke.

I didn't realise Caribbean passports are considered strong. Did you know? Ah, yes. Island countries like St Kitts and Nevis are popular for their passport’s strength. They’re also top destinations for people looking for citizenship by investment. Must be nice. I see it doesn't come cheap too. Must be real nice. So, how was the interview? Haha. This one lasted 3 hours, but it was such a fun time. She’s in an insurance scheme at work that allows her to save more and pay less tax; this was fascinating to me. It was also the biggest highlight — that, and living on ₦100k a month. Right? How much would you live on if you earned ₦700k a month? That's if you don't already do sef. I’m beginning to sense a pattern here. You get a kick from mocking me. Please, let the poor breathe. LMAO. You might have five side gigs somewhere na. 😂 HR, is that you?
