get-rich-quick scheme, cash vendors began to charge exorbitantly, making the next cash vendors in the chain to do the same, and the entire ripple effect caused "end-spenders" to pay 500 naira to get one 1000 naira note.

oh no is this why there's a bit of a stereotype of people from your country being scammers ; ;. especially like those love scams kind of or maybe I'm wrong

As for what you're saying is true, everything is going up but we technically are also earning more as well. Just unfortunate those that aren't as educated (at least most people that aren't unless they are lucky by being a good salesperosn / tiktok famous etc) they will struggle due to the pay gap for the jobs.

Things will only get harder in the future I feel. Back then people could work one job but now people be working 2 maybe even 3 jobs to survive. It's a tough world and I think education and scaling up the skills and working smart + hard is the way to survive and do well in the current state. Not get trapped in the social media trash being fed TT kids are being brainwashed these days trying to be tiktok famous etc who knows . Oh well :D let's enjoy the journey

I think there are scammers everywhere, but yeah, there have been a few bad actors that created the stereotype that most Nigerians are scammers.

Indeed, we are earning a lot more, but it's not the case for the average person here, actually. I think there's a big imbalance between how much people earn and how much they make.

As for people aspiring to be TikTok famous, I only wonder how sustainable that is. If they already have value that they can add to people and only need a platform like TT to put them out there, that's alright. If it's the other way around, where people are seeking for fame to get success, I don't know man... Do you like being famous? I know I don't.

oh ya that's true everywhere and it's quite bad that some are tricked to go overseas for a job and end up getting stuck in some scam network.

I'm not sure how I feel about being famous lol. I'd be ok if it was like niche but if it's like global celebrity like uncle roger maybe not.

what do you mean? how much earn vs how much make or you mean spend
