Please stop misleading the people.
It’s enough for people to go to rent.ie and see the real rent prices. In Cork to rent a room in a shared apartment is at least 400eur, that not including bills. A studio apartment just about 1000eur a month. 2 bedroom 1500eur. There is also no way somebody can survive on 50-70eur groceries. A little bag of egusi is 5eur. 2kg of good quality ponds is 10eur a bag. An average sized yam is 8eur. Electricity a month is not less than 50eur in summer. Make your maths people.
You still claim that people can have a good live with 350eur? It’s better than nothing yes, but it doesn’t replace the income people have lost.

My experience in Ireland so far has been trailed with mixed feelings due to the coronavirus. The country is experiencing its worst ever pandemic - with nearly 3000 confirmed cases of the virus and 54 deaths recorded. The government has ordered a lockdown for some months to curb the spread and minimize the effect of the virus in the European country.

The nationwide lockdown has left the country’s public spaces hushed and deserted amid overwhelming public support for extreme measures to control the pandemic. Dublin city and other usually bustling urban centres are now like ghost towns..

In my area in Limerick city, the vast majority of the population appear to be following appeals to stay at home except to buy food, care for vulnerable people, do work deemed essential or briefly exercise.

The government has taken a very good measure to cushion the effect of the pandemic on its residents. Residents whose jobs and businesses closed due to coronavirus are being paid 350 euro PER WEEK. Those enjoying this benefit include Nigerians and other nationalities (both students and workers) who are living in the country. Many Nigerians received their alerts today being Tuesday and were greatly overjoyed.. People are being paid to stay at home and be safe. The payment will go on for 12 weeks...that's 3 months. Just chill at home and get paid.

€350 X N420 (about N147,000) per week.
€1400 X N420 (about 588,000) per month.

Monthly rent is €325 while €50-€70 (depending on your spending capability) can go for groceries for the month. This only happens in civilized countries where the government take good care of their people.

Everything you wrote is nice. Impressive system too, but please, can we stop converting foreign currencies to Naira on topics like this?

Guy. It may be true. I live in Tuam, I spend 800h on rent per mth and that is bcuz I came with my spouse and 2 kids.
Average mthly food xpenditure is 100 euros that is if I buy a lot of side attractions along with the basics. If not I will spend far less plus I only do lidi. I don't even have African shops near me.

What is wrong living on €32 a week? Must you go to Starbucks before you have a coffee or to MacDonalds before you have lunch? With €32 you can buy grocery and do home cooking and eat well for a week! €325 looks like rent for a shared apartment - looks reasonable if you are on a budget e.g. a student. Nothing wrong about living a frugal life as you work towards a meaningful future abroad.

axeman10:


Obviously he is living in one room shared apartment for paying €325 a month in Limerick.. And who lives on €32 a week if not a pauper.. When a cup of coffee and muffin at Starbucks go for over €5.. That can't even fill your tummy for breakfast.

Thank you Poco!

Took you long to get here. Thought you promised to treat this topic, what happened? It is important Mathematics o.

Even if you tell them things are not easy in Ireland they will not believe you.

Hopefully, when I have the time, I would create a thread to treat it extensively.

It is impossible for a nation to grow when her citizens are wayward. And, if growth is forced on such nation, it quickly turns into disasters just as no amount of perfume can save a dead body from decaying.

People don't realize that leaders can only be responsible when the masses are responsible, and that corruption in leadership has its roots in the corrupt nature of the masses.

Where do we get our leaders if not from among the masses. The corrupt Civil and public servants; are they not from among people?
Were they currupted by their duties or their duties exposed the corruption in them? Can we boast of 0.5% (of our population) who are selfless and humane?

We are quick to compare and blame as if nations don't have stories.

We curse and condemn the same soil that nourishes our flesh just because we aren't like other nations with plenty toys for her citizens.

We neglect our basic duties as an organic member of this nation in order to shift blames; a trait we inherited unknowingly (both) from educated and uneducated fools.

We are quick to cover up our irresponsibilities (as you mentioned above) by pointing fingers and making irrelevant references.

Until we change our mentality, our situation will remain the same even if our roads are plastered with gold.

Because you're not telling us your full story,I live in Dublin the most expensive city in Ireland (Southside) for that matter, there's no way a single person will spend 126€ a week just on food except if you're a drunk and buying JD etc.

If you're a family man yes it's understandable,we've so many students here if they spend 126€ a week just on food,then how can they afford rent,transports etc.

Guess the monthly rent of €325 is a single room/double room. An average studio flat in UK cost you £650 without bills. Council tax is over £130,electricity, Internet, water bills will cost you nothing less than £200.
Even £1000 is not enough for you to survive if you live in a private property with kids.

50 to 70 for groceries Please correct this, it is more than that

The guy is telling you the range he spends on groceries monthly and you're telling him it is incorrect.

You're implying he is lying then. Cos he is telling you that from experience.

Bro I've been thinking my IT skills are underrated in Nigeria and weighing the options of heading out to Europe. Are there skilled/unskilled jobs available for immigrants in Ireland? On what kinda visa(student/tourist/work) is better to travel there?
Kindly advise! I promise not to be a bother.

See country where things work. But here in Nigeria u no go see shishi. Mama Faruq will still increase #300 yellow rubber garri to #800. €350 per week for staying at home. Even when the rent per week is just €50 - €70 per week. When will Nigeria get better for God sake and this is ordinary Ireland o. It can't be ok for those morons defending this government for just 30k. I need to find a way out of this shithole.

Who is e_rat between u and ur covik1-9. U don't even know what u are doing, u are supporting a dead man who doesn't know what's happening around him. I pity u indeed.

Anybody living on €32/week in Ireland is not eating well. Look at his grocery shopping cart, he has two litres of groundnut oil, what is he going to use that for in a Week? I believe he has already stocked up but he's getting the items he still needs. There's nothing else in his cart besides oil, chicken, baking paper, green peas and a few snacks, who can survive on this for a week? STOP LYING ABOUT YOUR REALITY

Why would you say he is lying? €32/ week is €128 per month! That's a lot of money to spend on groceries in a month for just one person!

I spend less than €80 a month on groceries in Germany and I eat well.
And you talk of 2 liters of groundnut oil for a week. Do you know what 2 litres of oil look like? How would you cook and finish 2 liters of oil in a week? It is not juice that you pour in a cup and drink anyhow oh! 2 litres of oil is more than sufficient to take you for 1 month. I doubt if you are talking from a similar experience.
