Yes we do. I earn £4,500 after tax, I don't pay children school fee, neither do I pay hospital bill even for myself. My rent is £1,000 a month.

Between, why convert to Naira in the first place. Was he paid in Naira.

Let him go back home I beg

What kind of apartment?

In what city?

A Nigerian man living abroad got people talking after he revealed the cost of rent where he lives.

According to him, the rent per month is between N562k and 975k.

He said: "Get it right: Things are better here but you will not sit down and hope you will make it here. It depends on what you do and how well grounded you are sha."

NairaLand in UK what’s your take on this

Living abroad earning British Pounds Sterling and comparing expenditure in Naira makes no sense.

After making ten times the pay, everything you buy is 10 times the cost.
The only differnece is, there is security and things are planned and nobody will owe you, you can plan yourself well, but it is also very risky, because maybe person sick now, no go work for 1 month, or e get accident, e don finish be dat.
E turn homeless, bankless, jobless…

Very well said!

I love that girl. grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin

Did you see them moaning . I mean the so called high income earners grin

After a whole 100k salary, na 5.2k go remain and u dey London rent three bedroom grin. No be juju be dat grin.

Bro naija is hard , we can't argue that away, but I maintain, abroad hard die , even on a big salary. Sadly most people don't even earn as much in reality and prices keep going up.

Don't understand why they think this is to discourage them. It's simply being honest about the reality of life here .

Are you telling us that they make upto 1m in a month?
He is only talking about rent by the time he pays bills and other things money don finish be that

They has to be cleaners in that London, and they have houses. So may be they have cheaper houses/neighborhoods, have roommate, or rent one room on AirBnB type of services (which can actually make profit). Also have two jobs.

Long story short: There is no way London is harder than Nigeria (for the poor talakawas), no fucking way.

Why are they converting the Pounds to Naira? Are they earning Naira in Pounds? The rent is high undoubtedly but no need converting it to Naira since we don't know their earnings in Naira too.

Firstly, off all places you went to the UK. That is laughable. Secondly, if you're tired you can come back home, or even better head to the Balkans or north Africa.

Of course, N1m isn't even up to £2000.

And these guys earn more than £2000.

Uk where if you get correct job, you can earn about £700 pounds per week. Except you're lazy,your life will definitely be far better than it is in Nigeria.

Google is your friend. Minimum wage here is £9.18/hr
And you will still blow everything before month end. Because every other thing there is expensive. Even if you only eat bread and beans daily .
We've done all these thing's before.

This one knows nothing about the thing called "tax".


In the UK
⏩You enjoy good roads
⏩Steady electrify
⏩Good security, no herdsmen, BH,
Unknown gunmen.
⏩You travel anytime without fear of kidnap.
⏩Affordable food
⏩Free education for your kids
⏩Government housing if eligible
⏩Social welfare if eligible.
⏩Steady water supply ( no borehole)

And many other intangible benefits,
but you don't want to pay tax.


LThat is a welfare society and they
fund it with relatively high tax. If you no
like am, then return and face bandits here.


Na your type dey bypass NEPA meter
& dodge paying contribution for maiguard
etc. ❌❌�
