A corper voices frustration over the N33,000 allowance paid to corps members, highlighting its inadequacy in light of current market prices.
In a TikTok video shared by @sandra_godday, she expressed dismay over the meager monthly stipend, emphasizing that it falls short when compared to the rising cost of essential items like rice in the market.
She disclosed that even saving two months' allowance wouldn't suffice to purchase a bag of rice, let alone other necessities.
Moreover, she highlighted the daunting prospect of saving for nearly a year just to afford a luxury item like an iPhone.
Accompanying the video, she captioned, "My fellow corpers how is life?"
