anthonyuncle:
i sick and tired of nigerians abroad complaining of how living over there is very expensive.

these guys that complain are the worst type of hypocrites.
they are always complaining and putting up posts to discourage others from seeking greener pastures abroad but they will refuse to return to Nigeria

i pity people that take their words to heart.

life is expensive there - yes, but the standard of living is way more better.

they earn enough to cover these expenses and still enjoy life. yet they use posts like the above to discourage others.

rubbish

On the brighter side they make up to 10 times the money people make in 9ja for the same job or labor.

here:
I do not understand why some always compare
The economy is different and not same currency even.
Minimum wage per hour is 8.91 so 45hrs per week you get 1600GBP per month and your spending just around 450GBP for accommodation and complaining? Well you have 1000 to play around though not sure about tax rate and you can do extra hours. How much percentage of your pay were you expecting to save before? All of it? Try come home to do same cleaning work and see if you can afford a studio in decent location like you have

Somebody should help me please. I'm broke right now. I need just 500 naira to pay transport to my workplace. 2111385104 UBA..(E.G.L). GOD BLESS THE GIVER.

Minimum wage is 8.91
Standard hrs/week (37.5 x 4wks) = £1336/month
Cheapest accommodation you'll get in London (not council flat) = £800/month
(You may get cheaper if you are lucky to find shared accommodation)

Other bills left to pay = Council tax, telephone bill, water, electricity, TV license, maybe credit card, feeding, transportation


What do you all think would remain after taking out those bills MONTHLY.

Yes opportunities abound in UK but most people overseas would rather live in Nigeria if only they had such or even a slightly lesser opportunities.

There is a saying in the UK that "Everything you earn has a way of going back to the Govt"

Ohhh by the way, I did not factor in 25% tax and national insurance which has to be deducted from your salary monthly

He has forgotten that he didn't suffer to get himself these jobs where he was able to cough up 270k monthly.

Here in Nigeria, to get a money transfer booth to work for, you must know someone who knows someone.

neyohh:


Where you see 9 million?

Minimum wage is border line poverty, it's worse when you live in big cities like London.

Abroad is hard asf unless you get a great job , like bus analyst, project manager, software, doctor etc.


Even at that if you don't manage your funds properly, you'll just have very little left.

Yep Nigeria is actually better for wealthy people than abroad despite the lower standard of living because your fund's go farther, but that depends on how much more inflation devastates Nigeria.

So yes most Diaspora will move home if they're loaded enough .

Farki:


And many Nigerians live in actual poverty, can Nigeria's minimum wage alone allow you to have the same standard of living in Lagos? A doctor in Nigeria earns what a bus driver earns abroad while the bus driver has access to public works we don't have here.

See what you didn't add is Nigeria is better for wealthy people who earn stable foreign currency which is a small minority of Nigerians.

Your post just solidifies Nigeria's pitiable state as a small boy who squandered it's best chance at greatness.

"UK is expensive abeg. Imagine charging my Naija homeboy N270k a month for this face_Me &_face_You with shared toilet and bathroom. The Landlady said no roommate is allowed or girlfriend living with you. Also this 5kg gas [Camera via@ValiantNig,] is N1,800 in Lagos but N18k in the UK"

Have you ever consider income on UK to Nigeria before you consider expenses of both countries?

adonainana:


So the income after tax of 12,000 a year after deducting rent of 800 pounds a month that’s 9600 a year
Other stuff as food etc has not be deducted

In the end he might be left with £50 to send back to Nigeria which is less than 30,000 naira
