Oga ,if you convert to naira, that's #14k in Nigerian currency . #14k can buy everything there and you will still have change







How many people earn this #14k per hour in Nigeria as minimum wage?

Nigeria minimum wage of #30,000 per month translates into #125 per hour shocked shocked shocked as in 125 naira only per hour. This amount can barely get you an egg. shocked

Boss there is absolutely nothing to defend here.

Don't believe everything you read on the internet, some things are meant to suit ego. Receipts can be altered and edited, besides there was no reason to post and compare it on the internet.

No,the post tells the truth. I can attest to that. I know people who live in the UK

That is the result of running a capitalist economy. Enough for all. Not the quasi socialist economy we run here.

You pay council tax, utilities, television licence, transport costs and you also may have to buy clothes and suchlike.

If you have children, your costs increase drastically. School uniform and materials all cost money.

Have a car? More money.

Internet? Not cheap. Sky decoder? Not too cheap ( though Freeview is enough)

I forgot, you pay national income tax. More money gone

Even that rent, it varies. Living in London? Your rent just went up

Utilities like power are expensive. Especially when winter comes and your bills go up because heating.

I haven't mentioned phone bill.

anyhow you pay this and that, you won't finish the whole £1,800 monthly and if you have kids then you double your hustle by increasing your hours per day.

Nigeria's problem is that most of what we pay for power , light and fuel is subsidised.

Result, the companies do not make much money and they provide bad service as a result.

Did I even mention the fact that 40 percent of Nigerians do not even pay for power?

UK on the other hand does not subsidised power, petrol or water. As a result, bills are high, but because you are paying the actual price you get your value for money .

Anytime it has been suggested Nigerians should pay market price for utilities and petrol we get the usual poverty answer
The govt failed since the 70's and earlier to provide the power and other infrastructure. If they had played their cards well and enforce laws in place, things would have been more efficient. It's not the citizens fault. Okay, even with the subsidised power, How efficient are the discos? We're not even generating enough MW in the first place. Whose fault is it?

All you ignorant folks here talking like you know what happens in the UK and USA. In the USA and UK foods is very cheap. Food there is nothing. Have you heard of food banks? They give food for free. I personally use to do dumpster diving in those days as a student (Google dumpster diving) come see fresh food na that people no longer need. My fridge was usually full with all kinds of foods... Light bill, water bill, etc that is the Koko. You go pay tire!!! It's only in Nigeria I see so much ignorance.

So people don't pay light bill in nigeria, you know how much is rent of a house that has borehole in nigeria

You how much is wifi subscription in nigeria

You know how much is ilorin to Ibadan now

Let food be even cheap in nigeria and let others over cost

Atleast

I concur...i pay the equivalent of #1.5 million monthly on mortgage more than half my monthly salary, the saving grace for us is no school fees payment and transport payment because I can ride to work.

The fault is that we do not pay the actual cost of generating and producing power. We pay a subsidised price.We also have people who are not paying for the power they use...rich and poor alike.

So, at the end, there isn't enough money to expand and fix power.

I AM NOT DEFENDING ANY USELESS GOVERNMENT. I am merely pointing out that the UK has power because they pay for the actual cost. We don't because we pay too low a cost for it...because we are a poor nation. Meanwhile, government failures to diversify the economy mean there is limited cash to make up the shortfall.

And here we are

As much as people hate to hear this from me...and yes, you are free to abuse me....I don't care any more....we can only have power if we pay the actual cost of power, not the subsidised cost.

Heck, Buhari even made matters worse by freezing prices for power between 2017-19. Meanwhile costs of gas, maintenance costs, etc went up. Tinubu is continuing in the same vein. How are companies going to make a profit to pay for improvements, like their UK counterparts.?

You pay income tax, which depending , can chop one third to one half of your income. You also pay other taxes.

And again, if you have a family, your costs jump up even more.

Remember utilites are not subsidized as in Nigeria, and prices do rise there. Winter means higher costs due to need to heat.
