Planning To Japa...read This. by ibechris(m): 8:29am On Sep 08, 2022 |
A Nigerian man based in the United Kingdom (UK) has lamented on Twitter over the high cost of living in the country. According to Jamal, he earns about €1550 (N660k), but spends €1300 (N554k) on monthly expenses after all deductions. He advised people planning to travel abroad to be cautious because they are ‘diving straight into a cost of living crisis’. In his words: “Those who are planning to japa from Nigeria to UK this 4th quarter are literally diving straight into a cost of living crisis. Those who have lived here and are somewhat settled are struggling a lot. May God provide for us all. My current salary pcm is around £1550 after deductions. My total monthly expenses are around £1300 excluding savings. I hope this helps.” 1 Like 1 Share |

Note: I am not against those who are travelling out...but stop selling your properties just to relocate. It is very hard for many who crossed over but they might not tell u this. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

ibechris: Watch how he’ll be tagged an enemy of progress. Bottom line, anyone ready to relocate should be realistic in their expectations and do proper research. So you don’t come over and start crying like the man up there. Note: I never said don’t relocate, I’m allergic to silly emotional outbursts. Think well before you reply me. Thanks 14 Likes 4 Shares |

meanwhile, someone that lives in Nigeria earning 1.5M naira monthly won't enjoy the quality of life of brother Jamal. Money is a means to an end, not the end in itself. If you earn so well and a simple illness can kill you, then of what use is your money? Quality of life over money, anytime. 22 Likes |

UK is an overrated piece of crap. Not all countries have high taxes or cost of living and low salaries like the UK. 9 Likes |

2Radii: USA trumps them all from what I've heard with more opportunities if you are lucky to know the way they said. The entire Europe na like this dem take arrange am to ensure say no matter what, so far say you no be professional or a the 1 percenters, after every expenses you go still get minimum of 200-300 Euros as pocket money or savings. The same thing applies to those on social welfare. After your housing and utility deductions, manage your balance €300... |

I want to japa but with this u said now, €200 savings in a month, how wil i be happy? I make as much as that as a savings here in Nigeria, even as a man with a woman and a kid 1 Like |

Thanks for this info, though it is not different from what I have being hearing over time. The difference I can see with what you post is the quality of living. Same person earning such amount here will still be living in bondage. I guess that is why you also refused to come back despite your complaints. |
Re: Planning To Japa...read This. by bdchange(m): 10:07am On Sep 09, 2022 |
2Radii:If you use the sample the OP used, then that is the amount you will get after expenses. Though it doesn't mean it is in all cases. Some might be earning upto that amount but with less expense. Moreover it must not be UK, there other countries whose cost of living is not as high as the UK. |

Klass99: That is the reasons why most of our ladies would love to marry abroad husband,they would leave their sweet relationship just to be married to an abroad based. After the marriage,many of them will end here in Nigeria tending babies while some none. Well,for me,it is very hard if not difficult to advice a man or a woman who is bent on travelling abroad. They all think there is no suffering over there. 4 Likes |

2Radii: That's just the honest truth and reality my brother, and with the inflation at the moment, you'd even struggle to meet all your expenses not to talk of saving up... EU countries like Spain, Italy, Greece, and France are an advanced Africa in this regards and the Japarians need to be informed. The savings are monthly. It is advisable to acquire a professional skill and an in-demand one to beat this "hand-to-mouth" bracket. 2 Likes 3 Shares |

If u want to japa to uk, pls focus on tech and healthcare. The reward is awesome, u can easily earn 5 thousands punds a month in those careers. Otherwise, dont come. Except you are already stuggling in Nigeria without any meaningful hope, then uk can be an option. note I didnt mention care job because most Nigerians are not hardworking enough to accumulate sufficient hours to achieve good savings with carejobs. Forget masters, u will most likely end up with care jobs and u may get stuck except u smart and have a clear plan to attain your goals. There are other good jobs open to immigrants like finance, lecturers etc but they are not in demand and you have to be outstanding to get a job offer. artisans/skill trade job is very lucrative but its tightly regulated, and most Nigerians who wants to japa are not well skilled in those sectors b4 leaving Nigeria. pls do your research b4 selling your properties or resigning your job in naija just to japa. The book of lamentation we keep watching on Youtube on daily basis by recent Nigerian migrants is becoming stale and annoying. 7 Likes 4 Shares |

ibechris: I am curious why he is still in the UK and not yet gone back to Nigeria. If he is single and making such expenses monthly solely in the UK, then he is wasteful and if he is married and living with his wife, is his wife not earning an income? |

ibechris: Phrankleen talks about this a lot on his YouTube channel yet a lot of Nigerians want to come for his head. Since 2017, my parents/friend have been subtly advising me to japa but i told them that i want to have an export based business here before i move. A lot of the immigration dream being sold to Nigerians is to enable them to come work for cheap labour as against what their western counterparts earn amongst others. Lass Lass we hope and pray for a better Nigeria as there is no place like home. 8 Likes 1 Share |
