In the video she shared, the lady, Sandra Goddy, lamented that her monthly allowance can only buy her four cartons of noodles.
Sandra also said she has to save her monthly salary for at least, 10 months before she can afford an iPhone.
She was sad that even if she saved her 2-month’s salary, she would still not be able to afford a bag of rice in Nigeria.
Sandra said the N33000 she is paid as a monthly allowance in Nigeria is what other people are earning per hour abroad.
