Na true u talk joo. Nigerians in UK are very stingy, they always complain of no money and tax always and that they overworked themselves. They will even ask you to wait for a better time if u tell them u want to come over. They lie too much and they say all their money go on tax. Ask them to come back to Naija to work since they are complaining, they will refuse. Imagine a friend from UK flashed me and ask me to call him back.
Na wa oo
So u don request from your people to come UK? No make me continue to dey laugh for this thread as na here I dey spend all my Nairaland time  :)Anyway, take am easy with UK peeps. You know say na so so tax and bill be second language here. Give me that your friend when dey flash u details and I go buy calling card for am to call you The land line when him go use the card with suppose get free call. |

All stingy men in da house are defending themselves voraciously, Lol. The truth hurts so bad!
@poster, thanks for a post like this. Men in Uk are scum bags, looking to reap where they didn't sow. extremely selfish, rude etc. did i mention they re gigolos? its so sad! perhaps they were good back in the days, but like y'all know what pounds can do to people.
No matter how good their job is they still want to live off a woman, their wages is only for building in Nigeria etc shame on you guys!
@ poster did not exonerate UK babes in his post so u are very much included in this whole matter. Lol. Anyway, wetin my guy(s) do u when u dey vex like this? Genuine ones still dey sha, search well well. No let them go marry oyibo as u dey talk like this. |

@nynlicious. Alright. UK Guys, treat our babes well and vice versa. Also, @Elgaxton said you should all maintain phone contacts with your people in Naija and he is dead serious! |

Tats, thats really not a problem, people should not be reminded or pressurised into calling their family unless they are hopelessly stingly .
as far as i'm concerned there's nothing wrong with the suggestion, the poster once again is spot on!

Hmmm.
When I first read this thread the general vibe was
'we appear to be stingy because life here in the UK is hard, and hectic, with no time for yourself and everything locked to a busy schedule, and our #3000 salaries are slashed to #900 by all the horrible bills and charges and taxes we have to pay, so we arfe suffering and can't afford to treat you guys as poor cousins!'
I then asked why a person would stay in the UK when life there is so hard and impossible. There were a few replies, but the general vibe became
'we stay here because life is more stable and secure, there are more personal comforts, getting a good car, tv, etc is much easier- infrastructure is better and life is i general much more rewarding'
Not *entirely* contradictory
But still, I *do* smell a faint whiff of , shall we say, doublespeak?
Of course, since no-one on this thread has anything to gain by confusing the masses, the reason for this is obviously my own lack of knowledge. Please help me rectify this by answering these little questions?
a) When you say you are strangled to an inch of your life by utility bills and taxes, would you say that at the end of the day you have more actual cash in hand than you would if you were in Nigeria, doing the same amount of work?
Please take into account that most jobs worth having in Nigeria force you to keep insane hours.
Also understand that taxation and utility bills in Nigeria are either so tiny as to be insignificant, or easily dodged, so you get to keep most of your salary.
Factor in the cost of Generator fuel, etc when comparing your electricity utility bills, and the cost of police bribes when comparing car insurance, documentation, etc.
b) Some people complain about car insurance. Would you say that, considering the price of purchase/upkeep of similar cars in Nigeria, you are paying *more* or *less* than the guy who buys his car and uses it in Nigeria?
Please answer these. It will help add some perspective to the many valid points raised here.

where is that clown that started this thread?
someone doesn't call u from d UK and its an issue. do u know how much it costs to exist in about the 6th most expensive place in d world as a foreigner? an accomodation that costs like 200k per anum in nigeria is about 840k in the UK. do u pay light, gas, internet bills in your house in naija?
it isn't easy at all. if it annoys u why don't u look 4 other friends in naija and allow those abroad to handle their issues. I wonder how old u are that stuff like this gets u bugged.
personally, if I don't return your calls it means u don't mean that much 2 me so get it in the skull and get a new life, jeeze! u kill me with all this childish shit!

staying in the UK could b preferable because things work. the system is stable. u get your struggle's worth unlike in naija. we all know that. I would choose a UK 2 naija anytime but that don't mean I should b answerable 2 anyone for friendship sake. if am working 2 jobs a day, how do I handle that and b at your beck and call at d same time?
if someone does not call u or return your calls, that does not give u the platform to call him stingy. are u paying as much bill as he is? that's rubbish

for me o, i'm struggling here and getting small small dough wey i take de pay bills and also tuition. i for no fit get am for naija. as for school, i'll be through in 1 yr (no asuu strike) i'm safe where i dey. there are problems but i'm not complaining. we talk of racism here in the UK but in naija there are stuff i had to suffer b/c of my tribe. so wetin dey? the issue now be say, my life is moving on, i heading towards my degree (by God's grace) and also there is a wealth of exposure u get by just living in a country like the UK, which is invaluable. so i'm good. it aint my country, yes. but how did my country treat me? How? anyway, elgaxton say nobody de communicate with am, by keeping this thread alive, and with jokes too, i do hope elgaxton will be a little bit happy to be keeping some sort of contact with briticos  i wonder why e must keep contact, afterall i nova hear say person here de complain say him friends for naija no de call am |

please u guys should call elgaxton before he starts a fresh sulk with y'all.
even those in naija please call elgaxton before a new thread starts saying nairaland users are stingy
if naija is ok for you(and am sure it should b) then leave your friends abroad alone! I just can't understand why phone call is a problem. that is so so petty please grow up![/b][b][/b][b][/b][b][/b][i][/i][b][b][/b]

yes o. meanwhile what kind of 27 yr old male bothers this much about people calling him?
sounds like one sorry arse chick a guy is tired of or a pitiful guy this chick can't stand anymore.
You could use your time to do more lucrative stuff with your mind I recommend a timeout with Dr phill,

@ fresh-b why not call eglaxton for one of 2 options 1. call eglaxton so he will b happy he got a call from the UK then he will explain 2 your guy how it is for u or 2. call eglaxton so he give u inspiration on creating thread out of cheap emotions. Personally I suggest u call the guy and talk 2 him. if he is your friend 4 a while and 4 real, he will understand but if he is like eglaxton, you're in deep shit; then, don't call |
