Nairaland should really have a mute button....smh.

Good evening to everyone.
I have a question...hoping someone can provide more clarity for me.
I'm hoping to get on the property ladder asap and was playing around with the mortgage calculator on rightmove. I noticed something curious- if a house is 600k and deposit is 10%, monthly mortgage could be circa 2500 but doubling the deposit to 20% only marginally reduces the monthly payment to like 2200 (these figures are not exact please).
What gives?

The biggest chunk of the repayments for the first couple of years is the interest. So if it's owner occupier, use less deposit and use the extra money for something else that will generate an income.

Peace out! We return when normalcy return! I no get head wey dem go break


Lol, you don't have to take off, just read the parts that are of use to you, and jump and pass the rest.
I was reading an accounting platform the other day which appeared quite useful (I always like to gather as much info as I can so I can put targeted questions to my accountant, and more specifically, so I can understand his answers), and na so them dey break bottle for the platform too, blood everywhere.

I doubt you will find bags of rice like we know it. Oyibo no dey chop plenty rice. They buy the small 2 kg bag and cook only 100g per person so it lasts them forever. I’m sure I have seen 10kg bags in Costco but your best bet will be the African shops in Glasgow.

I never knew Nairaland had a ‘Ctrl+Shift+Delete button.

Now this looks like a page off my 2B ‘English’ exercise book in those days.

See link below if you fancy the idea of ordering from Amazon

Also check the world food aisle at Asda for rice. We buy 5kg bag of their long grain rice

Big bag of rice is Costco. 10kg. Sometimes you might see 20kg on their website. Palm oil I arrange from home cause I don’t trust these ones here. But you should be able to buy online.

Can someone bring palm oil from Nigeria? I thought they won’t allow it to fly. If yes, how did they do it. Thank you for the suggestion. Really appreciate
