Imagine my joy when I found out tomorrow’s a public holiday. Of course I’ll still be bringing you our best stories and gist, but I’ll also be waking up by 11 a.m. because I’m practising for a life of riches and selective laziness 🙏🏽. Unless you know someone else who is earning $9800 monthly, today’s Naira Life has set a new standard for balling as far as I’m concerned. Here’s my chat with Toheeb about today’s Naira Life: 👇🏾 Ifoghale Newsletter Editor The Inside Gist ---------------------------------------------------------------  Hey Toheeb. Is today’s Naira Life subject single? 👀 Have you even read the story? Ifoghale, he’s married, please. Even though! We can be friends. Would you say he’s balling? LMAO. Are you expecting $9800 from your employers at the end of this month? There you go. But that’s not why I chose to write this story this week. There was a conversation online about how there’s money to be made in tech, and while this isn’t untrue, some of the arguments I read were like “just enter tech and the money will come almost immediately.” I think framing the ecosystem as a “get-rich-quick” arrangement is dishonest. For example, it took this guy about eight years before he hit a monthly salary of ₦1m. That’s a big little detail. What would you say is the coolest thing about his story? He wanted to go to school abroad for his master’s degree but ended up on the wrong floor of the building and opted for some IT certifications instead. I wonder where he would be now if he had gone to the right floor and applied to a school abroad. Aw man, that was incredible! Tell me something interesting about him that’s not in the story. He met his wife in NYSC camp and their first couple of interactions were quite funny. (Long story haha). His income jumped from ₦1.3m to almost ₦5m between 2020 and now. What’s the biggest income jump you’ve experienced? CBN, is that you?

The year is 2063, and don’t worry, you’ve got your citizenship, so you’re settled.
