Your Salary Just Showed Face Like IJGB & Disappeared
The Salary Epidemic – Lapo Babies.
Let’s talk about the real pandemic in Nigeria today: not fuel prices, not naira rates, but the salary epidemic.
You know that moment when salary drops and before you can even breathe, it’s gone? Not because you went to blow it on lobster and champagne, but because the minute it landed, gbese came knocking. Rent. Food. Data. More data. And that one person you forgot you borrowed from.
Yes, that one.
We’re all living it. And I love how people are finally speaking up. Because it’s not your village people. It’s not jazz. It’s not bad luck. It’s just Lagos.
And no, you’re not broke. Everything is about perspective. Some people fund their enjoyment upfront. You? You borrow vibes and settle the payment later, with interest, stress, and small tears.
You’re not living in the moment. You’re living after the moment.
Let’s not forget the real MVPs (or lowkey victims):
The ones who don’t even get paid till the 5th. We used to side-eye them, but now? We owe them an apology. At least they still have something to look forward to. You? Your salary did a quick boju-boju, waved at you like an IJGB during December, and dipped.
It’s not just you. My salary too came, said “Hi,” and disappeared like PHCN during a FIFA match.
But guess what? You still deserve to treat yourself.
Yes, even if your account is currently in a committed relationship with loan apps.
The good news is:

Because being a Lapo baby in Lagos is not for the weak.
