30 pounds is around $45. That's really good pay for a menial job in the U.S.

London is awesome

Abeg make una no VEX which part of the world Britain dey self? shey na between LAFENWA and IJEBU?because na only suffer suffer them dey suffer there

Baba God wey give me jab for Naija wey make me pack all my bag and baggages face London Heathrow, na you I dey praise

Most Nigerians abroad are suffering more than those living in Nigeria. If you tell them to go back to Nigeria they will refuse and continue to suffer. Just running away from taking care of family responsibilities in Nigeria.

Firstly paying £500 or £800 for light in 3 months is daylight robbery(na miniflat ooh).
Den why should I owe £45,000.00 for education, when am not sure there are jobs that will make me recoup it in 4 years! Just saying my mind.
To me travelling abroad is a bit overrated becuase my bills here are understandable(ps I will not fight with Nepa when they bring bill of 12k for my duplex again).
Finally pls tell the moderator that put this on the frontpage that there is no word like bittered!

shymexx:

Thanks sis... I'm a hard-worker...

I know, thats why you spend most of your time chatting bullocks online

chaircover:

Did you say MOST!!!!!

Yes, like 85%

Paying bills is part of living in the western world.

Lucasbalo: Paying bills is part of living in the western world.

........and these are the same guys that will refuse to pay Nepa 7k for a duplex they own in naija.

#Funny thread.

chaircover: I hate the bills but I understand why I need to pay them and I see what my money is being used for.

In short, you are a satisfied customer.

smh, una still dey go yankee

I just complained about my darn electricity bill a few days ago... I still don't know how 15pounds a week turned to 500pounds for 3months - and I'm not ready to waste no credit to ring them...

We use prepaid meter in naija PAYG no more bill, so which is better? I begin to think naija is getting better than UK or what do you think?

Paying 700 pounds for electricity is pure extortion. My mom doesn't pay more than $400 for electricity/month.

Jokes apart, the steady light thing is balls, I can run my generator in nigeria for 24 hours with what I'm paying for light and gas.

CFCfan: The Capital gains tax in the UK is around 90%, while the top tax rate is 50%.

What kind of lie is this? CGT is not 90%!

Having been born and raised in Ilaje-Bariga for the 1st 13 years of my life, I can't stop thanking my parents for shipping me out to Britain as soon as they could afford it....

If you think the UK is God-forsaken, then my hometown must be ruled by Lucifer and Belzeebub themselves...

Please, I know this doesn't relate to this topic in anyway. But I need info, info on the value of a rubber plantation. I made a it a new topic, but no one has said anything. Please does anyone have an idea, or know the ualue?

I would advise Nigerian based in UK to leave that country for better countries except for France. They can relocate to the US that is more better than UK. Britain is one of the worse countries to live in.

bebe2: its april again and local authorities in uk are busy looking for money.
how many bills can one recieve in a day.

Na who send you go UK ...omo park well jare and pay me tax

Father God, i will never complain about hard life again in Nigeria, pls forgive me i did in the past.
I am shocked with most of the comments i read here...
While some people are paying £800 for heating in UK, Abuja sunrays dey nack me free of charge.

They are payin over £200 for electricity, while i just have to fill my gen with 10litres of petrol N970 (that's below £4) and use it for days minus when there is power from phcn

While they pay over £100 for water, "mai ruwa" (water vendor) brings about 6 jerrycans of water for me and fills my water cans @ home for N150 which is about 60p and that lasts for over a week except when i do heavy laundry.

While the pay £80 for TV channels, i am watching my hacked DSTv for free + Free 2 Air MyTV.

And tomorrow, someone who lives in yankee will say he is living a better life than me.

redsun:

I was mistaking you for a big boy.

You still mourn about bills.Are a you student?

Why are Nigerians used to sufferring home and abroad Why not come back to your country

I cant do this. In Nigeria i live in my own house, provide my electricity and water. So i dont pay anybody any nonsense bill. When my neighbours met to install power lines, i declined so i use my generator. The funny thing is that they pay for electricity yet run their generators more often than i do.

Chai, what a gori life. £500 = N125,000 = 1000 pieces of 5inches blocks.

come back naija na..abi.
