A Nigerian man based in the United Kingdom (UK) has lamented on Twitter over the high cost of living in the country.

According to Jamal, he earns about €1550 (N660k), but spends €1300 (N554k) on monthly expenses after all deductions. He advised people planning to travel abroad to be cautious because they are ‘diving straight into a cost of living crisis’.

In his words:
“Those who are planning to japa from Nigeria to UK this 4th quarter are literally diving straight into a cost of living crisis. Those who have lived here and are somewhat settled are struggling a lot. May God provide for us all.

My current salary pcm is around £1550 after deductions. My total monthly expenses are around £1300 excluding savings. I hope this helps.”

If you wanna JAPA, go through the Canadian PR route. UK Masters route na scam.

This is my honest advise to everyone based on research and feedbacks from my loved ones.

USA trumps them all from what I've heard with more opportunities if you are lucky to know the way they said.



The entire Europe na like this dem take arrange am to ensure say no matter what, so far say you no be professional or a the 1 percenters, after every expenses you go still get minimum of 200-300 Euros as pocket money or savings.

The same thing applies to those on social welfare.

After your housing and utility deductions, manage your balance €300...

ahaa
Bros pls clear me, €200 as savings in a week or in a month??

If its in a week then that is good, but in a month!! That is rubbish na.

I want to japa but with this u said now, €200 savings in a month, how wil i be happy? I make as much as that as a savings here in Nigeria, even as a man with a woman and a kid

bdchange:

If you use the sample the OP used, then that is the amount you will get after expenses. Though it doesn't mean it is in all cases. Some might be earning upto that amount but with less expense. Moreover it must not be UK, there other countries whose cost of living is not as high as the UK.

That singular statement in bold made my day . I call it thoughtless emotionalism and it can be so rampant on NL.

I am surprised you and Ibechris (the original poster) have not had the living daylights insulted out of you already. There is no reasoning with people hell bent on japaing.

Every divergent view or contrary opinion is taken as a personal assault and attack on their japa aspirations. They never see it as useful information to have which may be helpful to their goals.

That's just the honest truth and reality my brother, and with the inflation at the moment, you'd even struggle to meet all your expenses not to talk of saving up...

EU countries like Spain, Italy, Greece, and France are an advanced Africa in this regards and the Japarians need to be informed.

The savings are monthly.

It is advisable to acquire a professional skill and an in-demand one to beat this "hand-to-mouth" bracket.

That is why it is very hard.

I am curious why he is still in the UK and not yet gone back to Nigeria. If he is single and making such expenses monthly solely in the UK, then he is wasteful and if he is married and living with his wife, is his wife not earning an income?

Phrankleen talks about this a lot on his YouTube channel yet a lot of Nigerians want to come for his head.

Since 2017, my parents/friend have been subtly advising me to japa but i told them that i want to have an export based business here before i move. A lot of the immigration dream being sold to Nigerians is to enable them to come work for cheap labour as against what their western counterparts earn amongst others.

Lass Lass we hope and pray for a better Nigeria as there is no place like home.

Thanks bro, i tot as much


Dis is what i am doing currently bro, i should have jakpaed but i tot of acquiring a skill first. Now i am on my way of acquiring a software development skill...tho i dont know if that wil stil help the situation ooh, but i just want to give a try sha.


How can i be saving 200euro in a month, God forbid bad thing. Even here i save as much as 200k(depending) in a month sometimes(not everytime oh, but at least 100k) and that is after expenses, even with a wife and a kid. A go con waste millions of naira to move over there and stil be labouring to save the amount i save here in Nigeria with ease..no no no, no way.
