If there’s one event that practically reframed my approach to wealth, savings, and money management in Nigeria, it was last year's Naira Life Conference.
August 22 is around the corner, and I can’t wait to be there!

If this is true, no matter how you wanna look at it or what position you take when it comes to GRV, the optics is horrendous.
Or perhaps his account is being managed by a PR team & he’s not aware he’s following such content?
PiggyVest Report: Only 1 in 10 Nigerians can comfortably raise ₦156k in 1 week.
- 56% more people want to japa, but savings for Japa have completely dropped, almost non existent.
- Minimum wage is ₦70k but a pot of jollof rice costs 624% than it did 10yrs ago, that’s 42% of the MW.
- Savings collapsed from 8/10 people to 5/10 people, as Nigerians stopped saving simply because they don’t earn enough.
- 58% of adults earn below ₦100k/month or nothing at all. Yet they are earning more now but affording less. Because in 2023 minimum wage was ₦30k and worth $65, now in 2026 it is ₦70k and worth $53, less value.
- In America less 10% of household earning is spent on food. In Nigeria, ₦6 of every ₦10 earned is spent on food (60%) as inflation rises monthly. 60% is the highest of any country the US Department of Agriculture tracks.
- While many Nigerians want to Japa. Many have opted to start life here, not because its easier, but with optimism for the future.
- 63% about 140M Nigerians are living in poverty. 6 in 10 Nigerian do not have emergency funds.
- However, people paying Black Tax has dropped by 80%, though more than half of Nigerian earners support extended families.
- Only 6% of Nigerians feel financially secure. Not because they earn a lot, but because they save a fixed amount monthly.
- Nigeria is experiencing two economic realities at once; on paper the economy is good, which is true. In reality, households feel poorer.

what made the game fun was the ability to just easily earn and blow away money as u want, trying out everything the game has to offer.
if you wanted a difficult experience then don’t just do the glitch, u can always play the legit way, i really don’t like people like you.
