sukkot:I heard security guards are well paid in UK because they do a lot of overtime. |

livingstone2013:brother, even medical doctors are not well paid in the UK talk less of security. Let me break it down for you. They pay about 15 pounds per hour if you are in London and cheaper outside. Let's say you can do 60 hours a week that is 900 pounds a week or let's say 3600 a month . It appeArs like a lot if you convert to naira. But you live in London and don't spend naira. Ok so you are at a higher tax bracket which is 40 percent so you take home like 2700 a month. It's London so your rent is like say 1000 if say you are single and no family and managing a small one bedroom. So that 1700 left. Council tax is like 150. You left with 1550. Let's say your utilities 300 a month you have 1250. Transport lets say 200. That's 1050. Phone and internet lets say 100. That's 950. Feeding let's say 400. That's 550 left. Clothing and haircut and miscellaneous like eating out and sending to naija etc and buying naija foods let's say like 300 a month. You have 250 left. Young guy you want trip woman to movies or go pub to drink pints of beer etc let's say 200 a month. You have 50 pounds left. Now this is calculation for single man. If you have wife and children may GOD help you is your cAse lol just checked the hourly rate in london. its 12 not 15. so i was being generous 33 Likes 4 Shares |

Klass99:yeah I know the guy too and should power be put in the hand of a person like that ? That's a mental illness. To be put in a position of authority and you fail to be objective. That's a dictator. Let's thank God he was only given power in an online blog that most humans don't know about but ermm no Nigerian wine here lol yeah those are very accurate . Well healthcare workers have great job security and availability but that's the only advantage. Like you can get jobs easily. But they don't pay well. Are you not aware that healthcare workers are on strike in the UK because there wages are too low ? 7 Likes |

sukkot:My friend who relocated to Sunderland 6 months ago analysed to me that Japa to UK is still better than Nigeria. That He saves 500 pounds monthly after bills ( which is about 500k naira) compared to me doing white collar job and earning 300k naira salary in Nigeria. He does minimum wage job in Sunderland @10 pounds per hour and on dependent visa while his wife is on student visa. I don't know if he is lying that he saves 500 pounds monthly cause that looks good while doing menial jobs in Sunderland. Compared to white collar job in Lagos that pays 300k for the whole month. My brain has been curious if he is saying the truth or not. 7 Likes |

Klass99: Their stories are truly intriguing. This japa movement has really ruined relationships between Nigerians. Couples breaking up, thinking they can do better than each other, friends becoming enemies. I just listen to them and see how unreasonable and paranoid Nigerians can be. They don't let people in on their plans because they fear evil eye. But if you don't trust friends, why have them around you and then turn around to expect well wishes? People who were comfortable in Nigeria with multiple houses and cars, got rid of it all, just for greed. As the saying goes if it ain't broke don't fix it. But then what happened with Yul Edochie's son made me rethink a little. The rich in Nigeria still feel insecurity. If Yul's son was in a developed country, a seizure won't have killed him. 16 Likes 1 Share |

livingstone2013:alright let's do the math on your lying friend. 10 pounds per hour at 40 hours a week is 1600 a month. Tax will leave him with 1200 a month . Rent in Sunderland maybe 500 a month he has 700 left. Utilities like 300. He has 400 left. Council tax 150. He has 250 left. Phone and internet. 100. He has 150 left. I haven't added feeding and this your friend has only 150 left. I put it to you that your friend does not even make enough to feed himself or get a haircut or buy clothes. He will be one of those Nigerians over there who go to Salvation Army charity or church charity to get free food because they can't feed tbemself. Almost 40 percent of Nigerians in the UK cannot afford food. If you go to the charity section of every church where they give free food to the hungry it's full of Nigerian families. 26 Likes 2 Shares |

sukkot:Thank you so much for the enlightenment. But if 40 percent of Nigerians in the UK can't afford good food, how are they able to send money (pounds) to their relatives in Nigeria and to help them to build houses? 10 Likes |
Re: How Do Families Pay Tens Of Millions To Japa Without Getting Ulcers by sukkot: 8:37am On Apr 07, 2023 |
livingstone2013:brother despite the hardship and suffering in Nigeria are people in Nigeria not building houses ? Even vulcaniser in naija is building bungalow in his village. So the answer to your question is a few people will take extreme measures like for example you can find 10 naija guys sharing a 2 bedroom flat. Some sleep on floor, some sleep on sofa, some sleep in the kitchen etc just so they can have small rent so they can save to build house in Nigeria but these are guys who have dedicated to suffer in London because they know they are coming back home. But the question is ? How many people want to live like that in London ? You want to use toilet but there are like 4 housemates on the queue waiting to use it before you. These are the extreme measures you have to take in London to sAve good money or to build a house. But also let me say most of those houses belong to criminals too. Many of our people are into selling drugs and Bank fraud. So it's under these conditions you can thrive . Crime or sharing house with 10 guys lol 16 Likes 1 Share |

livingstone2013: From my experience the term good food is a broad subject. They can afford to eat definitely, just not the healthiest of food. Some are stuck with junk food or easy to access meals. The only downside of these meals is weight gain. You can save up by living in a small apartment and minimizing your expenses. Probably go to the pub once a week and stick to one pint of beer. If you are single get yourself a working girl so you don't have to foot all bills. Visit the flea market or donation centers to get close. Might visit the soup kitchens from time to time. 1 Like |

Personal income tax Corporate tax Capital gain tax Council tax Road tax Value added tax Everything about UK is tax. Never been to the UK but I work as a tax consultant from here and I’ve heard client cried on phone lamenting how she’s expected to pay tax despite bills taking a huge chunk of her money. This was a woman that works day in day out. Told her, if you don’t file tax return for your company, whether you trade or not, once it’s due, you’ll get a penalty 5 Likes 1 Share |
