In 2021, the 25-year-old in this #NairaLife got her first big break with an annual income of $20k. She was laid off about a year after. Then she got another job that paid her $15k/year. She was laid off after a few months. Now, she has her sights set on something else and thanks to her parents and savings, she has a chance of pulling it off.

The 37-year-old subject in this week’s #NairaLife might feel less exhausted if she earns ₦500k/month or gets a visa out of Nigeria. She doesn’t have a clear path to either at the moment, so she’s making do with what she has, as she's done for over 10 years.

Before 2017, the 22-year-old in this story was just a university student who’d tried a few businesses.

The 29-year-old in this #NairaLife is a tricycle operator and earns ₦4k- ₦10k per day. Between 2012 and 2019, he nursed a dream of getting higher education. Now he’s making it happen and hoping it’ll unlock his next level of income.
