Context
Nigeria is one of the highest oil producing countries in the world and a member of the OPEC cartel yet it is very poor because of mismanagement.
The government used to subsidise gas/fuel but can no longer afford to because of said mismanagement and had in recent times had to borrow just to fund these subsidies leading to the country spending 92% of its revenues on debt servicing.
Anyways there was a hotly contested election earlier this year and the new president removed fuel subsidies immediately which caused domestic pump prices, transportation costs, and prices of goods and services to increase.
Sharp increase in prices of goods = fall in demand because most people are poor and live on less than $2 a day, and spend 60% of income on food.
Most affected are s*x workers who have to reduce their prices in the face of dwindling demand for their services.
PS for easy conversion right now USD/NGN is ~₦770.
Removal of fuel subsidy has affected commercial s*x workers in Kano State, IGBERETV reports.
Narrator: Kano is a sharia state dominated by Muslims where prostitution is illegal, and a signer was sentenced to death for blaspheming the Prophet's name.
The s*x workers who complained about low patronage expressed their pains while fielding questions from the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Sabon Gari area of Stragge Local Government Area of the state on Sunday, August 27.
The s*x workers in the ancient commercial city, who hitherto smile home with their pockets full, now resort to lobbying customers to do “business” with them at very ridiculous low charges.
Ms Mercy Benjamin told NAN that before now, a round of “short time” service could be settled with N5,000 within a time frame of one hour, but the biting effects of fuel subsidy removal had forced customers to disappear.
Benjamin said one round of s*x now go for as low as between N500 and N700 for the same services.
Less than a dollar if you wanna get your stick wet
"Things are not really going on well with this business for now because of the present economic challenges we are facing,” she said.
Another s*x worker who identified herself as Jennifer, told NAN that it is no longer business as usual for them, saying “my brother, business is no longer moving as it used to be.
"Things have become so hard that if you see more than three customers in one day, you will thank God. Customers are hard to come by, and when they come, the offer is nothing to write home about.
"In this very particular room, I pay N5,000 every day; and I must confess to you that I am owing the management three days debt now because of low patronage
"Before fuel subsidy removal, we were enjoying high patronage with good prices. These days, I used to attend to seven to 10 customers everyday with good prices ranging between N5,000 and N10,000 for short time services.
10 customers a day at ₦10,000 per customer= ₦100,000 a day. Minimum wage is ₦30,000
“This is apart from other incentives like good food, drinks, chicken, Isi-ewu and other goodies that customers provide on their own volition,”
"Unlike now when customers hardly come to hang out in the evening, we used to have customers on day-break ready to offer well above N20,000 and also take care of your accommodation, food and drinks. This is really hardtimes for us,” she said.
Jennifer further stated that most of her colleagues who could not pay for their rooms have returned home with regrets of penury.
"Some of them left without their property as the hotel management seized their cloths and electronics because of the money they are owing. We that are still here are surviving through the grace of God,” she explained.
Jesus famously loved prostitutes
Narrating her latest experience as a result of the cash crunch, Ms Helen Ediga at Onitsha Road, said she ready to quit the business if given alternative source of livelihood.
Ediga, who only agreed to speak to talk after being offered a token of N1,500 and a bottle of Maltina to cover her time, said: "Sir, I am not happy being into this kind of business. It is hardship that led me into it. I am a single mother with three children. I am the only one that take care of them.
Get that bag sis
"My man left us in Kano and relocated to Abuja where he is currently staying with another woman. I come out every evening to hassle so that I can put food on the table for my three children and possibly train them
"Since the fuel subsidy removal, we have been suffering. In most cases, I will spend the whole day without anyone asking me ‘how are you'. It has been a very bitter experience. If I have other means of livelihood, I will definitely quit this business!”, Ediga said.
NAN also gathered that the s*x hawkers who usually stand along Enugu Road, Aba Road, Onitsha Road and Abbedie Street, among other hotspots within Sabon Gari, are worse hit by the situation as most of them complain of staying throughout the day, scouting for customers without success.
Findings further revealed that night clubs, fun centres and beer drinking joints now record very low patronage as residents hardly come out in the evening for relaxation or to have “good time” due to the cash crunch.
Random comments from Nairaland
Let the poor breathe cheesy
I'm still yet to understand the idea behind paying a woman for sex___well, I guess it's because the man approached them.
The energy mostly required to fuel the intercourse comes from the man and psychology has proven that women enjoy s*x more than men.
A man loses money, energy, while the woman loses absolutely nothing.
This days prickk no de stand again.. bills too much
7 to 10 men in a day 😮
Women strong pass men
Nawa ohhh
And somebody's husband is begging me to see him for 150k here in Abuja and I'm even insulting him with his money
There are levels to this nonsense called hookup abi prostitution
God,please don't let any condition make me succumb to hookup
If you don't, someone prettier and sexier would do it for 100k. The man should stop wasting his time and energy.
Since prostitution is the oldest business, I feel we should live and let live...but my God! 7- 10 men in a day?? I no know who to shake head for. The ladies, or the men who foolishly queue to be among those multiple men.
Would you frick a s*x worker? What's the least you've ever paid?

I've been at my current job for over a year now and it's got solid pay ~$60k/yr. I've still been bumming it at my parents with the goal moving out by buying my own place - likely with a friend who'd pay me rent.
However, with the housing market as it is with 8% interest rates and low supply it seems I'm stuck kicking back with my parents again.
At the same time, I feel like I'm stunting my development as I'd held off any serious relationships until I have my own place.
Renting doesn't seem ideal unless my parents kick me out (unlikely, we all get along and I pull my weight) as I just see it as lighting money on fire I could be saving for an actual house.
ATM I'm thinking of bitting the bullet for inflated interest rates as I'm in a good place financially (I have zero debt) but it does make me concerned that the “you will own nothing” seems less and less like a conspiracy theory for the Zoomer generation.
Is this r-slurred? What is the best move here?

On today's episode of Redditor's Are Financially Illiterate Morons, our intrepid hero, /u/Pelthail, has lost a... let's say "significant" sum of money by being scammed. How did this happen, you ask? You're not the only one.
Well, my wife had her credit card info stolen a couple months ago, so I was already on alert when I received a message about fraudulent activity on my account. Then the scammer called me from the Wells Fargo customer service phone number (I later found out that scammers use apps to spoof their phone numbers).
He had me verify my account info and had me set up a new password which now I understand was him just using that info to gain access to my account. And once he was in, he used Zelle to transfer all my money.
Don't worry, I feel very stupid for it all and in hindsight I can see all the red flags that I should have recognized in the moment. I always thought I was too smart to fall prey to these scams but I guess I wasn't.
That's right, after his (presumably) r-slurred wife had her credit card info stolen, our hero was on high alert. So high, he gave his bank account info, including his password, to some jackass that called him up and said, "Hello, I am Rajesh from Banga... I mean, Bob from San Francisco. Your Wells Fargo account has been hacked. Please do the needful and give me all your money."
Fortunately, our hero is taking his frick up in stride. Why, a man like him would never try to foist the blame off on someone else. Nor would any other fine, upstanding Redditor.
Not for long. This is my limit with them.
Ah. Never mind. It's all the bank's fault that our hero is r-slurred. Well, maybe he can make back the princely sum of...
A little over $2K
$2,000. This neighbor got taken for everything in his bank account, and lost $2,000. He is a father of four and owns a business. This wasn't his only bank account, but it was his primary one, which means he probably has less than $2,000 in the others. And no investments to speak of, since if they were at Wells Fargo, his primary account, the scammer would've got those too. This motherlover is broke.
Once again, we see that poor people's plight is of their own making. They get what they deserve, which is nothing. Be sure to tune in next week when we mock whatever dumb thing some terminally online r-slur did this time.

Butthole lawyer got me fired 😭
I made a post the other day about how I was stiffed on a $550 tab by a couple attorneys and followed the advice I received and reached out to the firm on the card to tell them about what happened. Well it completely backfired, the woman on the phone who I think was just a receptionist told me she would follow up with my concern. I made a post on their Facebook page too but somehow it got deleted? They ended up calling my restaurant on a Saturday and told them about it and that if I was not terminated they would be pursuing legal action against both myself and the restaurant.
My boss was very nice about it and said that he actually contacted his family attorney about what to do and unfortunately they had to let me go. I'm just devastated and have never felt more worthless it just sucks how we are so replaceable and people deemed “better than thou” can have our jobs taken from us just like that.

Oklahoma is a dramatic state. Not a lot goes on here so our politicians get bored.
We have an insane governor who if we were more in the spotlight would have DeSantis level of chuddery. Today though, we are gonna deep dive into his State Superintendent pick, Ryan Walters.
Oklahoma ranks 49th in education, just barely edging out Mississippi for most r-slurred state.
Google says NM but I'm pretty sure it's MS either way. Very dumb.
[Screenshot 2023-08-16 at 6.08.24 PM.png]
Ryan Walters was elected in November of 2022 and came out swinging. He ran on the culture war train, promising to fight woke ideology and getting rid of "radical leftists" (pro-tip, there's no such thing as a radical leftist in Oklahoma). https://www.kosu.org/politics/2023-07-24/walters-threatens-tulsa-public-schools-with-accreditation-ding-after-religious-freedom-rally
Even some of our more right wing politicians wondered if 37 year old Walters was the right man for the job.
So Walters is currently waging a war on our public schools (I mean, good, we are ranked fricking 49th lmaooo) and people don't like it.
He also doesn't like teachers. And likes to call them terrorists.
Much to the surprise of no one Oklahoma pays their teachers like 30k a year. Masters degrees bumps you up about 40k . While our government doesn't respect teachers general public sentiment is they need to get paid more. Some people get upset when Walters calls teachers terrorists.
Like any good republican he threatens to sue the federal government for trans shit
When there was some minor backlash over a public prayer, our hero decides to wage war against the entire Tulsa Public School system (The second biggest, and only relevant city in Oklahoma after OKC)
idk what an F list is but it's probably bad
Parents/Educators seethe at our boi for being Radical Right Wing.
Our man drops some fantastic Propaganda against trans and teachers'
Redditors continue to call everything antisemitic
Even reading rainbow breh doesn't like Walters
The Tulsa race riot was a massacre of "Black Wall Street" a thriving district in Oklahoma populated by rich black people that was razed to the ground by angry whites. Although a huge part of a heritage this was NOT taught in schools for decades and decades. Now that we teach it, people are mad. Walters is mad it's being taught, black reading man is mad that he's mad.
Redditors also mad that people can report shit that happens in the classroom? idk lmao
"I have instructed my staff to hold teachers accountable for violating state law"

Walters says "no porn in schools!". this is controversial for some reason
https://x.com/RyanWaltersSupt/status/1613935055914549250
X-users mad.
(Kids do deserve better than 49th in education ya)
Ok sorry hope this wasn't too boring. Great guy though hope he makes it to the fed.

Hello everyone so I currently have 16k in CC debt and my wife has about 25k so I have about 41k in CC debt and with both our cars our total debt is at 85k but that's our only debt. I'm in the military in California and my wife is a stay at home mom taking care of our 10 mo old baby. She was working prior when we lived in NC and living out here is so darn expensive so we've had to resort to using our CCs a bunch to get by since I only make about 3,300 a month. I applied to my banks for lowering our interest rates with the SCRA(servicemember civil relief act). I've sold a bunch of stuff we don't use and even applied for a second job. We also applied for WIC and most likely will get that since according to their website my monthly pay is under what they have listed for a 3 person household. We've cut out our luxury's such as eating out and buying miscellaneous stuff. We are also considering changing our phone plan from Verizon to T-Mobile due to that being cheaper after looking at their rates. We haven't ever missed a payment on any of our debts and have stopped using or CCs all together.
Is there anything I'm missing that could help us pay off our debts faster or assist in saving more money to pay off our debts.
Summary across the other posts:
Debts:
$41,000 credit card debt (supposedly got reduced rates to like 15% due to some military benefit program)
$44,000 car debt (VW Tigua & F150 ✔)
Income:
- $3,300 a month from USMC, wife doesn't work and takes care of 8 month year old
Expenses:
Vehicle payments: $800
Phone payment: $171
Insurance: $131
Credit Cards: $1,050
Groceries: $250
Dog food: $100
Total: $2,950
You may notice rent isn't included. That's because they live on base where rent and utilities are covered. As for how they ran up the debt, the explanation is they just did. OP also posts in /r/pokeinvesting.
Bonus post, some cute twink in r/army complaining about the 88 in his username.
If that 88 is your birth year, you're too old for Warrant on the active side, over 32 requires a waiver. If it's the other thing… let's just say I hope it's your birth year.
I was born in 97 , 88 is my highschool football number lol
