ThiefnubuBandit:
Those who want a better life will still travel out of this hell-hole. 20,000 £ is more than 34 million Naira. And that is the least annual salary the poster wrote there. You dey whine? Which job wan pay a Nigerian youth up to 34 million NGN every year for inside Naija? Abi nah all these one-man business wey full everywhere?

If you work for 3 years, you will be able to invest in a business in Nigeria that someone residing in Nigeria will not be able to start with 12 years of working.

You will spend naira in UK, right?

You people should stay in Nigeria and discourage people from looking for a good life. I am in the 3rd salary grade, my wife is in the 2nd. We live a very comfortable life, leave in a 2 bed apartment with my only child, we feed well, wear good clothes, pay all my bills, drive a reasonable car and still save 1k pounds every month. After chesting all the bills from parents and begibegi from Nigeria. I am in my mid thirties, even if I save for 3 years and come back to Naija, I can do a good business. Mind u, I got to the UK Oct 2022.

NB: I am still doing higher courses to even step higher in my earnings.
Life is not easy anywhere, but naija own is too much. Nigerians prefer suffering and justifying the suffering.

StOla:


That $300 to $500 the career saved in a month, is it not savings that will later be expended in that same economy.

If I save in Nigeria, I save it to later spend in Nigeria, so same applies to the savings in the UK to be later spent in the UK.

Stop tying your UK savings to a future Nigerian expenditure.

Seems you have a learning disability. Your argument is that people don't make it in uk. And I just gave you an example of how people are more likely to make it in uk than Nigeria.
Where they finally spend their money doesn't matter , the argument is have they made it or not over a given time compared to Nigeria. Ie carer in uk can save 3000 to 5000 pounds yearly while a minimum wage earner in Nigeria can't save 1/10th of it.
Extrapolate that over 10 to 15yrs and tell me who has made it.

PROPEACE:

Did you do the math or are you just arguing? A person earning £20,000 per year earns about £1,600 before tax, so why is that fake?

I still don't understand. So you mean the tax is only £67 from £1600?

So why is he bitching and misrepresenting it to look like government takes £18k + ❓

https://nairametrics.com/2024/01/18/taiwo-oyedele-says-only-10-of-20-billion-2023-diaspora-remittances-end-up-in-nigeria/

Quoted from the link u shared,

The Chairman of the Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms, Taiwo Oyedele, has disclosed that a mere 10% of the $20 billion 2023 diaspora remittances reached the Nigerian foreign exchange market.

The funds do not pass through Nigerian FOREX market. A lot is happening in the P2P market. Almost everyone on their whatsapp status is selling and buying dollar. It's not like people's money are not getting Nigeria.
The money is already labelled remittances, so it gets remitted but it doesn't pass through the official forex market. If someone wants to send money to their child abroad and u want to send money home to do some things. Una go deal, I believe that's what he's talking about. I stand to be corrected

Neoteny:


Average monthly rent in UK is £1,200 (london x2 that amount), average utilities is £200, £35 for internet, phone around £40, groceries around £500 monthly for a family of 3, and average bus and tram pass (for 1x person) for a month is £100

That's £2,075

Given the average annual salary is £40,000 for full-time jobs and the monthly net is averagely £2,693, your leftover is:

£2,693 less £2,075 = £618, or £20 per day.


This doesn't include clothing, toiletries, movies, haircuts, gate passes, rentals, health, insurances, entertainment, savings, gifts, etc

You are part of the people dishing out false info. I stay in a 2 bedroom and pay £925 because we are a family of 3 (some people pay as low as 550 in some city like Newcastle) my bills and utility amount to £350, our running cost a month js £400, our Internet is just £40, we use 300 for feeding in a month, that's because we eat well and only do African food. My self and my wife earn about 4k pounds a month. Do your maths and use your teeth to count your tongue.

which grocery are u buying at £500 a month? do you know what £500 can buy? u guys should take this lie easy now?

No where on earth is easy, but naija own is too much. ordinary fuel is a luxury.

Kemistri3:
Are you still interested in moving to the United Kingdom (UK) after seeing this?😀



Dr Olufunmilayo

you lot are shouting, however in reality, you pay MORE IN TAX IN NIGERIA THAN THE UK
There is a system of multiple taxation in Nigeria that do not exist in the west.

I have always told people those in the Uk shouting we are dying tax tax Bils, are using the format on thier relative who are always begging for money.Imagine, I pay zero tax on my car but i n Nigeria you must pay road licence fees.

Well xplained, they still dont get it.

The truth is....if u are earning 1490 as stated above and if u are single, u can get a furnished shared apartment max of 700 pounds depending on the city that u are....some cities, the 700 above will get 3 bedroom....now, take for example they u are living in a City like Edinburgh ( Scotland capital) u get ursev a shared apartment of 550 or 600 monthly take it out from the 1490, that leaves u with 890 do Bus Pass of 70 pounds, it leaves u with 820, used 300 on feeding and clothing because what u will buy with just 150 pounds in food stuff, Hmm it would look like u want to do party Ni, u will still have 520 pounds....let's assume u want to hold the 120 pounds and change 400 pounds.....that's 400 x 1700= 680k.

NB:- Don't forget u can do more than 1 job at a time oo...and I'm very sure u will still have something to save on that extra job aswell.....I don't know about others oo but what I have achieved since I came here two years ago worth more than 90M naira.....that's within 2 years oo

ceejayluv:

Nigerians no like to hear tax. But in reality, 20k per annum is in the minimum wage band... How's Life really like for minimum wage earners there?

faceland:


I still don't understand. So you mean the tax is only £67 from £1600?

So why is he bitching and misrepresenting it to look like government takes £18k + ❓

And how did you arrive at £67? Divide £20,000 by 12 to get the monthly salary before tax, subtract £1,493 from it to get the monthly deduction.

I dont understand dis your post! Can you explain it clearer?

You are still making the same mistake.

You saved £5000 in a year in UK and you say you have made it?

Money that will not pay for 5months of Nanny care if you have kids.

Meanwhile N500k that is not even the equivalent of the pound amount, will pay for nanny care for 8months.

Whatever you have saved in US or UK, is for later expenditure where you are. Stop comparing it to what a Nigerian saved for later expenditure in Nigeria.

As you do not earn the same, you do not save the same, and you will never later consume the savings the same.

They are 2 separate economies, and they do not meet at the point of savings expenditure.

Mr. Dr Keep the statistics to yourself and family. Or better still share it to your family members.

Let us be the judge to that, and not you. If it has become so bad as you made it look, then you and the rest should be on the next available flight to Nigeria.

Relocating is not about the money,just know that.

God forbid the day I will abandon a well paying Nigerian job just because I want to put on winter jacket in UK while my face is unhappy and my health is terribly under stress.

I do not mind doing it for a job or immigration to the USA where opportunities abound for even the very 1st generation of the immigrant family, but UK is a big NO.

The majority of Nigerians who have been in the UK since the early 1980s, they have not made it till today. Their children have not made it too.

The wise 3rd generation have embraced sport and entertainment, so that the curse of the UK will not happen to the 3rd generation of the family.

If you go to the UK, you are going there to suffer so that maybe your 3rd generation family can finally live wealthy.

Keep quiet.

I will show you 50 people not even from 1980s they are well established , not to mention people now. May be na Una family the curse Dey don’t generalize.


If u like go America if u don’t work u won’t pick money from ground.

Education is free in the UK. Na so Una Dey spew wetin una no sabi. Alternatively, bring your mum to baby sit for you. Visit visa is easy to get in UK.

It's you who isn't getting it. If at the end of the year you save 5kpounds after your expenses for the year including nanny . Can the same person on minimum wage do the same I Nigeria.
If I go abroad and save even 3k yearly and come back to Nigeria after 10yrs with 30k pounds. the question is would I have been able to make that sane money let alone save it if I was doing the same job in Nigeria. The Answer is No.
There is reason why Nigeria is a poor and 3 world counties and others aren't.. it because GDP. You can't compare both economies my friend. You can't compare 2 people both on minimum wage in uk and Nigeria. Facts. Let alone professionals.
There is what we call standard of living. You can compare a dr working in uk and the one working in Nigeria.

I will take them round the world by the grace of God

Yet Nigeria remains our home

What a mindset chai.
5k pounds in the UK won't pay for nanny as you said cos a nanny in the UK is considered a human being who deserves to also live a quality life. The nanny in the UK does not exist solely to serve the interest of the rich to maintain their big man status.

You said 500k will pay for a nanny in Nigeria for 8 months. That's about 62k a month. How much is a bag of rice? So the nanny in Nigeria is worth a bag of rice? And you are not ashamed or feel bad to bring that up to win an argument? So the purpose of the nanny and other low end workers in Nigeria is just to serve rich people like you so that the rich exploit them to maintain their high living standards in Nigeria abi?

You guys have the effrontery to berate low end workers in the UK who by the way have higher living standards than those same workers in Nigeria cos you exploit them and pay them equivalent of one bag of rice a month and then come online to gloat how Nigeria is better abi?

May God forgive you all

they don't need to spend their savings there again because they have everything already. You have no right to decide what they want to do with it okay. So just relax


They can buy a second hand car of . Buy iphones, change their wardrobe, start a side hustle. Or save more for a mortgage. Besides which job will allow you to save £5k per year in Nigeria. Not even bank managers make that much in a year.

who told you they're subject to only spending it over there which law is that. Don't be stuppid. They can decide what they want to do with their money. Build house in their home country incase their visa expires or they want to come back to visit. So why the push. £5k is big in any country in the world and can buy some many things so stop the bullshit.

This information is readily available on the internet. If you search HRM customs and tax revenue, it will bring out the current tax rates for different income grades but you see people (especially the lazy youths) now rely on social media and their so called fake influencers as their main source of information.

This Fav Doc, where is he living?

They just make up numbers to scare people off. They should keep quiet biko.

If it's this bad, why are people rushing there and not coming back?
