Yeah i know the Knowledge is way above your understanding,
But dont fight yourself trying to comprehend it, ROFLAMO!!!

yes, it's above my understanding, but people like you are the ones constantly giving nigeria a bad name because later you'll start shouting about how armed robbers are disturbing you whenever you go home.


if you dont feel too swollen headed, explain to me how someone making £20 per hour and with a 36 hour workweek, will buy three to four houses in lekki, and also own two or more houses in spain, portugal and UK.

all this after paying rent/mortgage in the UK and paying other bills. abi you dont pay rent/mortgage?

of course we all know drug couriering brings in extra dough and can even get anyone ten houses in lekki and an additional six buildings in spain/portugal. Likewise fronting for politicians can do the same.

Stop displaying your ignorance on a public forum. . . . .

Anyone making 20 quid per hour working 50 hours a week makes 1000 GBP a week(4000GBP a month)!!!
With such income, his credit score is in the top echelon and he can actually buy properties without down payments-  In case you haven't heard, there are 110% mortgages in the UK and in Europe.
Grab a book instead of bitching yourself about on a forum like a dejected soul.

I don't know anyone who works 36 hours (more like 37.5) but there are plenty of instances where you can work overtime and gat paid for it so under those circumstances, it's possibe to earn £1000 per week. grin

1,000 GBP a week is 52,000GBP a year(13 million Naira) but that amount is just the tip of the ice-berg.
Credit card companies like Amex will kill to make you one of their customers. They offer NO LIMIT credit cards so start calculating. . . . grin cheesy
Loan companies would be after your arse 24/7 so SKY is the limit, my brother.


is that enuff to own properties in UK, Portugal, 3 houses in lekki and even seychelles?

It is more than enough.
Getting houses in UK, Portugal and Lekki is not the most difficult thing to achieve if you are interested in housing/properties.
With as little as low as 5% payment of the house-prices, the properties are YOURS.


dude, i work numbers and im sure this is what i do for a living

so what u chattin?

U always get your numbers wrong.
U told us yesterday 500,000 Naira is 27,000 GBP, didn't you? grin cheesy

1 GBP =225
1,000 = 225,000
4,000= 900,000

52,000 < 12m

agreeed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
are you able to use that to claim loans to buy houses to UK, Portugal and about 240millon worth of houses in Nigeria?
NO sir. i

Re: Are Nigerians Resident In Uk Jealous Of Their Visiting Counterparts ? by youfreshie: 6:12pm On Jun 10, 2010
This has been on my mind for quite some time but i personally thought that it was just me that noticed this trend anytime i am in the Uk for a visit,but recently some of my friends who also got first hand cold shoulder treatment from these so called "Permanent Resident" Nigerians in UK who often act in ways that suggest that they are envious of we Nigerians who can afford to just come over for visits in the Uk rather that come and join them in the hustle over there.

My second cousins who live in Liverpool always try as much as possible to avoid me visiting them anytime i am in town and sometimes i want to believe that probably it is their conservative nature at work but when the tables turned around and they were the ones visiting us at our family house in Nigeria, the youngest of my 3 cousins confessed that it seemed that the other 2 had issues or just outrightly jealous that i could afford to come over to UK  like 2wice a year .As funny as it may seem this has always been the case with some of my old school mates who decided to make UK was their final destination. They are always obtaining their visiting counterparts who come for holiday.

Even on Nairaland, there was the same attitude of outright cold shoulder on the thread about the Lagos Dump hustler (Vocal Slender) whom by fate and goodwill is currently in the UK for some shows. right on that thread it seems the permanent residency Nigerians in UK are getting so worked up that they couldn't hide their envy  about this guy's visit.  Undecided  Undecided  Huh

Lol this is funny. I was born and raised in East London so I cannot speak for the freshies you are talking about.

trust me
only Ibime, Jarus and dayokanu i dey fear for numbers on NL

lemme break it down

someone said an average Nigerian spends N500,000 month on rent
500,000 = N6million per annum
divide by 225 , u get 26,666
approx 27,000 GBP
trust me i sabi maths pass u grin grin grin

1GBP = 260
1000GBP = 260,000
52,000GBP = 13.5 milla which is greater than your 12 milla. grin cheesy


are you able to use that to claim loans to buy houses to UK, Portugal and about 240millon worth of houses in Nigeria?
NO sir. i

People making less than that per year take out big loans. . . .
It's dependent on your credit score. As long as your income is constant. . . .One can achieve anything.

Not all houses in Lekki are worth 80 milla Naira.
3 houses in Lekki could be 30 milla.
