Explore whether a monthly income of 1000 pounds is sufficient to thrive while teaching in Abuja, covering living expenses, food markets, and leisure activities.

I was offered a job in a British school here.

With over a thousand pounds a month (excluding accommodation and bills and flights each summer they are included) would I be able to survive well?

I like to get my nails and eyelashes done.

I don't eat out much. A gym membership would be great.

I'm happy to buy most of my food from the market.

The cost of living is very cheap if you shop arround, barter as mich as possible I found out it can be 20% dearer for the white person than the local, I brouggt one of my workers with me at first and that sorted the usual price difference oit.

There are plenty of salons.
Where abouts is the job as this will affect the prices.
