  • “You Can’t Even Afford Meâ€� — ₦400k Salary Finally Speaks Up

    Everyone, rich or poor, has dragged ₦400k salary through the mud over the last few days. So we decided to lead with love and ask how it felt. ₦400k salary opened up to us, and here are the things it said.

    Written By:

    “Just don’t take me to Lagos�

    The first thing ₦400k salary told us is that it’s allergic to Lagos. All its problems seem to start once it enters that city.

    “If you must, carry me somewhere cheap�

    It specifically mentioned the mainland and Ikorodu. 

    Treat me with care

    You people scream “be kind� every day, but you don’t practice what you preach. Have you thought about its feelings?

    I don’t do well with baddies

    We stan a salary that knows its boundaries.

    “Look at me now. Am I not enough?�

    Who knew ₦400k salary also watches BBNaija?

    “Half of you guys can’t even afford Chicken Republic refuel max, but you think you can afford me?â€�

    That’s a little classist, but very Nigerian of ₦400k.

    “Inflation, you do this one�

    To be fair, inflation is who we need to drag like small gen.

    “I be Idan too, I be boss�

    It might be big for nothing, but it’s still hard to get, please.

    “Buhari, you will crumble for this disgrace�

    And to that, we say, “Amen!�
