You live luxury lifestyle with 100k a month? Are you sure you know what you are saying?

He think say na 1990 we still dey.

Babaken:
Then you come back here to do the job of 100k and stop the noise.

Where the 100k job dey,what is the value of 100k in Nigeria? Many companies are owing salaries like mad in Nigeria, is it because many are suffering and smiling. The OP is just pulling you guys legs.in usa you can do multiple jobs,even over time job dey o.can you do that in Nigeria? He must be an illegal immigrant to have been earning 400k per month. Lastly, food is cheap in usa.

Very possible depending on your parol.Blowing 20k each week on flexing is a way to go about living relatively large on that money.

SegFault:

175 be like say OP sniff some heavy duty gum this morning, 100k and luxurious living shouldn't be in the same context or sentence.

It's an abuse of freedom of speech

It's funny.
I lived in UK as a student. I worked in a call centre answering phone calls in addition to my studies.
Well, I was a very small boy in UK.
My salary was about £950 per month. At that time, £1 = N250
So that will make the Nigerian Equivalent N237,500 per month.

Shey I don land?
Well, My student 1 self contained room rent was £180 per month (then O, not now, 2021) - And this was the cheapest I could find. The next option is to go and stay under bridge.
- The school fees of the school,
- Phone and Internet bill
- Money for laundry (you can't wash clothes with your hand. Their water is ice block)
- Transportation to work daily
- Gas money for heating the freezing room and cooking my food
- Electricity bill money
- Small cash to keep aside for visa applications/extension other serious emergencies
- Small money for 1 shoe like £20 ~ £50
======
The whole £950 don finish be that.
======
I think say na magic.
1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years..... Same thing. Money finish.
==
Maybe if I go again as a professional instead of a student, we may see better job and more money. But then again, house rent now is like £700 PER MONTH O!!,
NOT PER YEAR.

What is wrong with you?

In Nigeria, how many students or even graduate presently have access to jobs to take care of all their basic needs without looking up to their guidance?

RisenPhoenix1:


You are correct. But most Nigerians will not understand this write up.

When you tell them that a litre of petrol in the US is about N400 and you can pay up to N75,000 monthly electrical bills for a two bedroom apartment and close to a million naira monthly rent even in low brow areas of New York, they don't believe. Heck, even a bottle of Coca Cola is N500. By the way, these are old prices from around 2014. I don't know what prices are like now.

So 100k can give u luxury in Nigeria? Has d meaning of d word "luxury" changed?

op can we swap, u come back to Niger let me replace you lol, they their they make mouth.

jeyem:
HOW WOULD I EXPLAIN TO MY MUM THAT MY MONTLY RENT IS I MILLION NAIRA. MY ANNUAL RENT IS 12MILLION NAIRA IN USA. it is well!!

Oga where in Lagos do you live please
Are you saying there is nowhere in Lagos where people pay 1m for rent every month.

Pls explain how 100k a month can afford u luxury in Nigeria

bloggerblogger2:
YOU MAY AGREE OR DISAGREE.

A 100K monthly salary earner in Nigeria is better than a 400K monthly salary earner in the United States.

The luxury lifestyles some of us live here with 100K, cannot sustain us a day over there. We can’t try such in US and save a dim.

Some of our annual rent here is weekly/ monthly rent over there. Can you pay over 100K naira monthly house rent with 400K monthly salary here in Nigeria? You can’t do that, but you don’t have a choice over there. You pay or kicked out of the house.

Some of our people over there are becoming wiser now. They don’t mind sleeping on the streets, work for at least 5-10yrs, move back to Nigeria with their savings. You cannot survive with 100M living comfortably a year over there. Tax go finish you up. But you can live large with 100M for 5yrs or more here in Nigeria depends on your lifestyles tho.

You don’t pay unnecessary tax here. But in foreign countries you pay almost everything.
In naija you can own 10 cars.. not in the United States because you pay for packing space for each car. You get the point now?

Some of our people in diaspora, once they earn $10K in a month or so, depends on the job, they’d send $9K down to their Nigeria account and keep $1K for their upkeep. Some would buy lands and build houses for rent or some other businesses.
If you don’t do that, you’d work all your life and come back with nothing. Those of you on this method are wise. But becareful of the people you send your money to here. Trust no one! Get a trustworthy lawyer involved.

U can make unnecessary noise or play loud music here. You can’t try such over there and not find yourself in police cell.

So you see….We are privileged here. We only need to get bad political leaders off the way. By getting involved in politics, national, state, LGA and community affairs. That’s how American youth you admire, do.

They don’t just fold hands, wailing and waiting for a miracle. They debate, disagree, challenge, involved and create. You get the point now?

I guess polluting the environment with 10 rickety cars is now an achievement

mtchewwww!

It's not a general rate. It varies by states or counties. You should be looking between $650 - $950

Were you working your full hours

Students only work 20hrs a week

If as a Student you earn what you say you earn, imagine someone who isnt a student.

You earn 950 as a call center agent which is equivalent to what a Mid Level banker earn in Nigeria, thats a big achievement imo.

Being an experience worker opens more doors, you cannot talk about proper standard of living if you are a student please

100k salary in Edo is better than 400k salary in Lagos & Abuja

Rebuke:
Una don start again abi? Very unnecessary comparism.

Yhu call it unnecessary tax but it's working for them and everyone sees what their tax is used for but the one yhu call little tax isn't acounted for.


When yhu are done with yhur comparison, don't forget to also compare their roads, health facilities, electricity, water supply, security and good standard of life with yhur Nigeria's.

Their health facilities are good but that one is one of the surest ways of being poor, homeless or both if you don't have solid health insurance (which most people over there don't).

seunny4lif:
You pay for that and the system is working in UK
If you are a professional then your life could have been more better because you can get yourself a nice house and good car.
But in Nigeria, you need connection for everything
You paid for unused electricity in Nigeria
You pay for waste management but they don’t come.
Can you get a job as a student in Nigeria?

How much job can a student fetch averagely 30k.

I understand your feeling, but one of the major mistakes you made was to plan or leave the house you rented for 250 pounds as a student

One of the really easy ways to make it in the UK and the years would not turn to years upon years with nothing to show for it is either to live with a family member for free or a parent for free or for next to nothing or you just continue living life like a frugal student

Yes its almost unexplainable having a professional job on a good salary but still living in a a cramped student house with sometimes no heating or cooking

Even girls wont want to date you, cos you wont even try bringing girls home

But the benefit is that you will have a lot of disposable income left, a lot of it

The idea is that you bring this to nigeria as capital and try something out with it

Or bettter still after the years accumulate, get a mortgage in the uk but beware it may make you trap you into the UK system

Trust me there is no other way around it living in the UK except above

The other way is credit card fraud or something else

just speaking from experience bro

somehow! I dont know about UK

Ok. I think I made a mistake. I was a student for 1+ year, and after graduation 3 years, full time.
So I remember the £950 more because I spent more time earning that as my maximum salary.
The student salary must have been around £400 then.
Times were tough O. My life was just miserable everyday.
We just didn't see the money. When you see small, transport will chop it.
When you are full time, extra tax will chop that one.
Visa/extension will come and chop its own.

NY crazy bro!

Why the sudden rise in comparison between America and Nigeria..

Because things are so hard in Nigeria we are merely working for survival. That's why the fuse about salaries.

People in America just work to pay bill and feed themselves and if by the end of the day they couldn't afford to build a house or achieve much, they will have still lived a better life than a rich man in Nigeria..

You see all these Yahoo boys with flashy cars and mansions for a house, their maga abroad are mostly average citizens..

People that are poor abroad can make someone in Nigeria millionaire. That's to show you the difference between the standard of living and quality of life..

Don't mind him.

He doesn't know that $0.00 is still bigger than ₦0.00.

APC image launderers. LUBBISH

Why comparing a country where custom officers use to kill innocent Nigerians but bribe bandit with bags of rice with the great America ? Not a factor of 100k vs 400k .Nigeria is not safe .

is it just me but as of recent

There are some big boys in Lagos , owerri, PH that some people who come from abroad can never compete with

Like on a friday night, Eko hotel would be fully booked up and i am wondering how many working class Nigerians living in the US can come to Nigeria on holiday and spend recklessly like that without thinking twice

Same with UK folks too before they buy anything in Nigeria they have already converted it

All of a sudden some Lekki apartments are more expensive than some London homes that is more than 500 years old

And there is still insane poverty in nigeria and in lagos at the same time too

So its so unexplaniable what is going on
