What you earn weekly in US is higher than what we earn in 5 months in Nigeria

why e no suppose to be news? mumu talk. i've learnt one or two things from what people are saying

Ejebleje:
Is this supposed to be news?

Goodnewsforlife:
many of u igbos are yet to get over d election loss trauma

It’s unfortunate that with this your attitude to loss, u will keep losing

Anyone that is against your drug lord is an igbo automatically.Brainless cretins

StreetFight:
My brethren na £750 I dey pay per month in one of the villages. That's about 1.5 Million Naira for House Rent alone. Council Tax is £150, Gas and Electricity bill is £200. How much we dey pay for Nigeria? Yet some people will be converting Minimum Wage in Nigeria to Dollars and Pounds. I just dey laugh them.

But, you also make the Pounds here, that's the difference. As for the people wey dey advise others not to JAPA, na Ogun go kee dem Mama. Tell them to come to Nigeria nah, if abroad is too hard for them. Useless enemies of progress

Pounds

nairaman66:
Please tell us what you earn first!

I don’t know how foolish people can be sometimes especially Nigerians abroad! If you want to flex, living abroad alone is a flex!

You have too many good things over there!

Security
Education
Viable laws
Healthcare
Economy
Transportation

Name any sector that works in Nigeria?

Yet you still complain.. Shame on all of you abroad trying to compare with Nigeria. Shame!!

All the things above, you think they come FREE? ILLITERATES all over the place.

Next elections will be brutal for Obi.

This is the kind of unbalanced and awkward comparison I've always hated so much.

How much do you earn per month in the UK? Compare that with average monthly earning in Nigeria so that we know you're making sense.

nairaman66:


When there is data to back up an idea. You can’t view in different directions! Being abroad cannot be compared to living in Nigeria. Even the extremely rich in Nigeria knows this! Let’s just stop these banter before it degerates into something else!

Now you are talking ...

Living abroad doesn't automatically means u are rich like Otedola and Dangote instead u will still live within your means .

Job is different form job meaning the pay will differ from one another ..

Those with good pay will flourish well to send good cash back home but those with small pay that even struggle to pay rent too, they find it difficult if they want to send money home is a very uncomfortable task for them...

So my brother the grass is not really greener elsewhere .

You can ask we have beggar here in UK we also have UK citizens that can't afford rent that sleep in the cold weather etc .

So make favour just find us anywhere we dey 🙏

Stupidity is when you earn in pounds, you keep quiet but when you spend in pounds, you begin to make noise that things are expensive. You begin to convert your expenditures in naira but you won't even mention your earnings.

Same rent in those countries you just call, rent abroad is too much. Is only UAE that is cheap compared to this advance countries..

STEWpid:
Chai..




For me, UK is just overrated.

I don't like the place one bit!!


I rather go to Finland, Poland, Australia, or Canada.

Many foreigners in the UK, especially Blacks, are in catastrophic situations that they were not suffering at home.


It is never like before; they want you to go back to your country.

Kingrshd3:


Don't really understand d mould house stuff do u mean d walls will be bringing or soaking with water or what

Not soaking with water. You will start seeing some black flaking stuffs on the walls.

It is similar to the black stuff you see on a bread that is left on a table for a long time.


One of the ways to manage it is to always open windows at least an hour everyday for air exchange into the apartment.

A beggar in the UK has greater life expectancy to an average rich person in Nigeria. This should solidify my argument, else I have nothing to say to you!

By the way, the minimum wage pay in the UK should be able to afford a worker a decent payment plan for a home. The idea of living is to afford the basic living conditions of life which was outlined in my post earlier which the UK is able to afford.

Nigeria haven’t met its basic living conditions for the rich nor for the poor! If they have, why are the rich Nigerians going abroad for healthcare? Education?

helinues:
That one no be talk

Things are cheaper in Nigeria but not available.

Things are available in abroad but expensive

Even ordinary haircut - cheapest £15 (or 27000 naira)- is equal to our minimum wage here in nigeria.

You guys have serious work in the SW to do in ronuing sense into your woke generation.

it is easy in UK when husband and wife are both working in UK. But tough if it is only one partner that is working

Same with Canada (Ontario specifically) but that comparison doesn't make sense because you are earning in dollars and the pay is per hour while your pay is monthly in Nigeria.

Responses here show how very bitter majority of 9ja people are.

We didn't have social media or even GSM back in the day to learn from people abroad what the situation was.

Now you can hear directly from those abroad. You can weigh thing up better, plan better, avoid early mistakes upon arrival, etc.

But all you hear is "they won't come back o, you earn in pounds, what is minimum wage in UK, etc.

In 9ja we assume we too sabi. It is that assumption that makes us unable to learn and master basic things. Like how to run common election transparently, provide electricity, run a local council that benefits everyone locally, etc.

Something Rwanda and others are doing effortlessly.

Course of living are very expenses all over the world

If what u pay as monthly rent in the UK is higher than what u pay annually in Nigeria, then come back home. It's that simple.

SpecialAdviser:
Useless BATerians that supported this evil government even hailing the drug lord when he visited UK should return back to Nigeria.

People running away from their country and supporting the perpetuation of evil.

There is enough accommodation at Obalende under bridge.

God bless Obidients all over the world.

Oloriburuku,is this the topic of discussion? If you want to d@iE why not go and jump into the Lagos L@a#goon. oloshi.

England is a damp soaked island.

Winters are brutal because unlike other parts of Europe it is always damp despite hardly any snow

Someone who has been to both Russia and England said he preferred Russian winters to that in England because the air is very dry in Russia during winters. But in England there is always freezing rain.

As you said, the best way to prevent mold is to allow for ventilation to reduce humidity inside that is caused by heating the house.

Once mold takes root, it's almost impossible to get rid off.

In 1960, we pursued the British away that we wanted our 'independence" from them and we refused to be second-class citizens to them. Some 60 years later, we have our "independence" but now, we are selling our properties and possessions here in Nigeria to run back to Britain and become the second-class citizens which we didn't want to be before.

No be juju be that?

He was paying N1.5m per year in Surulere for a 4 bedroom .... and now N2.7m per month for a 3 bedroom in the UK. He should convert and post how much he was earning a year in Nigeria and how much he is earning a month in the UK. Too many people abroad mislead those at home ... the reason so many japa without doing research and are faced with serious financial problems on arrival. One is to live in the UK .... one has to think in Pounds ... not Naira .....and one has to live under their rules and regulations ... not those of Nigeria.

I wonder...and it doesn't make sense comparing what you a paying in the UK to the naira..that is plain unintelligent.

This is stupidity in the highest level , do u pay 1500 to 2500 naira month in Nigeria? U earn in their currency n make expenditure in their currency, when u talk of expenditure in Nigeria, u earn in Naira so who is this daft person who is coming with this unintelligent comparisons. Agents of this in one year failed govt using stupid n unreconsiliable comparisons to foolishly support this govt , that has impoverished Nigerians in one year. Plunging Nigerians into hunger, hardships and uncertainty. Wicked people.

This is why the Igbo man is very different from their SWern counterpart. They will never dissuade others from benefiting off a foreign land like these ones & that Tiamiyu fellow. The Igbo man will always come back to carry his brothers, by force or by fire, to make something of themselves instead of constituting a nuisance at home. As cheap as rent is in Nigeria according to these couple of clowns (pun intended), can they afford the same kind of apartment or life they have over there in Nigeria …..even on a middle-class income?? You don’t want to come back but you want others to remain behind and die in the suffering you’re supporting! Gosh, how do these folk live with themselves, exporting all that low self-esteem & self-loathing everywhere!
