C-section: public ₦130,000–₦350,000
Private ₦400,000–₦2,000,000+ (high-end hospitals can hit ₦3m)
.
.
Extra: blood, phototherapy for jaundice, extra days, ICU deposit ₦60,000–₦3m

if things go wrong
Realistic "be ready" pot for birth + first hospital stay: ₦200,000–₦1.5m+
.
.

Daycare / nanny (when mum works)
Local creche / small daycare: ₦30,000–₦80,000/month

Better private preschool/kindergarten: ₦60,000–₦200,000+/month (Lagos mid-range often ₦80k–₦150k)

Live-in or dedicated nanny: ₦50,000–₦90,000/month + feeding
Numbeo-style "private full-day preschool" can look much higher at the top end
.
.

Schooling (from age 2–5 onward)
Public / low-cost private nursery-primary: ₦15,000–₦80,000 per term + uniforms, books, PTA (annual all-in often ₦80,000–₦300,000)

.
.

Other things you actually have to do

Register the birth (cheap or free at NPC; keep the certificate)

Vaccines and regular paediatric checks

Decide support arrangement with the mother (money, time, housing). Courts can order child maintenance if you don't agree

Health cover: basic HMO ₦80k–₦200k/year individual; family plans more. Maternity waiting period is usually 9–12 months so it may not cover this pregnancy

Emergency buffer: extra ₦200,000–₦1m for jaundice, CS complications, or hospital hold
.
.
.

Summary

Conception to leaving hospital: ₦250,000 – ₦2m+

First year (items + monthly): ₦800,000 – ₦2.5m+

Then every year after that is food, health, daycare then school... education is usually the biggest long bill
.
.

😂😂😂 Unless you are prepared to raise a child, be disciplined with your sexual life and activities.

All these are just for the baby. We haven't come to the home upkeep, parents upkeep, personal life, etc...
.
.
This isn't to cause fear. But just to show you that when you don't properly plan for something, the consequences can be very uncomfortable.

Actually this is true.
The beauty of London is in the photos

[Sir Dickson @Wizarab10]

Familiarity is an interesting thing.

If you've never been to London and someone says they are going to London, your reaction is one of awe. If you've been there, your reaction is more of "alright."

2 weeks ago, I was asking my friend if she has visited London since she moved back to Nigeria and her response was "what is happening there?" Her visa is still valid.

Last week, I spoke to my coursemate from UNIBEN who did her Masters at University College London, if she has visited since she moved back and her response was "Wisdom abeg! Na who never go, London dey impress. If I want a holiday, UK is not the place to go."

Basically, na see finish.

[Sapote @HillarySapot]

Not sorry, what then confirms whatever we’re into?? Say two months? Lmao
