Sandra also said she would have to save her monthly salary for at least 10 months before she could afford an iPhone.

She was sad that even if she saved her 2-month salary, she would still be unable to afford a bag of rice in Nigeria.

Sandra said the N33000 she was paid as a monthly allowance in Nigeria was what other people earned per hour abroad.
