Good morning. 🌞
If you live in Nigeria, you know POS agents are currently the most sought-after group after fuel attendants. With the new naira notes scarcity and crazy-high charges for cash withdrawal
by POS agents, it’s easy to imagine these guys are swimming in money.
We got a POS agent for today’s #NairaLife. While he confirms he makes more money now, he admits the cashless policy threatens his business and wants to start other businesses ASAP.
In the spirit of looking for better opportunities, this #LoveCurrency subject urgently needs something better to supplement his ₦40k teacher salary. But how does he manage — with a
serious relationship, no less — now?

The #NairaLife of a POS Agent Forced to Plot New Business Moves
The 27-year-old in this #NairaLife worked security jobs for nine years before saving up to launch his POS business. But now, he might need to find something else because the current cash scarcity is a sign of things to come.
Can he give us his POS machine when he starts the other businesses, though? 👀

Dating on a ₦40k Monthly Teacher Salary in Port Harcourt
After losing a marketing job in Lagos, 30-year-old Chidi moved to Port Harcourt. Five years later, he’s managing a ₦40k teaching job, zero savings, ₦300k debt and a supportive girlfriend who believes his hard work will pay off someday.
An excerpt: “In December, the government announced that those loan sharks were illegal, so I’m not paying. I used to be scared of their threats, but now, I’m a comrade. I’ve cancelled borrowing sha. I’m trying to leave this school and look for a better-paying job. If I can find a school that’ll pay ₦150k, that’d be great.”
