US-Based Nigerian Soldier Asks How Families Survive on ₦100,000 a Month

A Nigerian serving in the US Army has sparked discussion about the cost of living in Nigeria after asking how people survive on a monthly income of ₦100,000. In a video, he said he often asks Nigerians about their earnings during livestreams and is surprised that some people support families with two or three children on modest salaries. He pointed to rising costs of food, fuel and other essentials, and asked workers earning around ₦100,000 monthly to share how they budget through the month. Nigeria’s minimum wage varies by employer and location, but ₦100,000 remains a difficult income for many households amid rising living costs.
