What type of comment is this?

MrBrownJay1:


ok sir, now answer this very simple question: CAN YOU SUSTAIN (with your £2.5K monthly in the UK), THE LIFESTYLE YOU HAD IN NIGERIA EARNING 230K monthly?

adewale2011:
That's non of your Business,
Enjoy your Salary (Slavery)

It means my family members do not weigh me down with problems like “I swallowed electric pole, i need 500k to remove it.”
From time to time, we all need assistance but they never make senseless requests and even if they ask for something large, they always pay it back without me requiring they do so. That’s what the comment is.

INDUSTRIALFAN:
omo I don taya to type plenty. Just know this,
1. I am no longer on the £1k per month job as it was a job I had to do to find my bearing immediately I got here and that lasted just 3 months.
2. In those 3 months, I was able to sort out all my expenses and send more than I ever could to my folks who at one point or the other needed help when in Nigeria on 230k per month.
3. I have my peace of mind and sanity in a country that works.
If you want to remain stagnant in one job that pays less than £300 a month, that’s fine so long as you’re content.
I started from £1k working less than 4hrs a day and I’ve gone up to another better job that pays over £2,500 a month with my expenses still being dsame meaning I now save over 1k per month. Whether in nige or in the UK, that is doing well financially. Thankfully, I don’t have family members that weigh me down.

INDUSTRIALFAN:
YES I CAN. Even better.

MrBrownJay1:


lying on faceless forum is the reason why we will never go anywhere in this discussion....but hey, by all means, continue believing that you have a better life with 2.5k in the UK than your 230K in Nigeria.

Natural2Heal:


Be deceiving yourself. Which 2500 pounds monthly salary are you doing in UK? Those that have been in UK for more than 10 years are still struggling with getting minimum wage jobs in UK at this moment.

Immigrants have flooded UK that getting even a minimum wage job is very hard. There are so many job seekers compared to the available job. Hence employers in UK are paying very ridiculous wage at the moment.

INDUSTRIALFAN:
new minimum wage is now 11 pounds an hour and this started April this year. I started out as a cleaner when I got to the uk which I only did for 3 months then moved to care which by the way was not easy to get as I had to do courses which btw I paid for. Got into care and where I work, it is £13.60P and hour.By my contract, I work 40hrs a week which brings me to 2,176. Now that’s what I earn on my allocated hours but then, I usually pick up extra shift’s which btw re in abundance. In my 3 months cleaning, I advised a Nigerian working as a store attendant to take up a cleaning job like myself as it paid better that what he was paid and in his words “god forbid…. How I go de clean?” Note that the cleaning was done with machines and barely and physical strength. Most Nigerians complaining are of same mindset. You traveled out to make money and forge a better path not coming to swag up and be a big boy. No body sends who your father is. Get off ur high horse and work.

Below is a chat btw myself and a friend who got into care before me. He got a 2008 C300 for £2k from his first salary as a carer.
See samples of care jobs paying as much as £16.85 Per hour and all you need to get such jobs is getting certified which cost mostly less than £200 to do. What do I gain if I lie to anyone who doesn’t pay my bills to start with? I no de chase clout for any freaking reason not to talk of a faceless forum. To what end abeg?
Oh…. Lest I forget, if the people you’re relying on for information are students then yes…. They can barely land such jobs because no one wants a worker who complains of not being able to come to work because they have one class or the other especially when you are needed to cover your shift.

Hamachi:
You owe no one any explanation

Natural2Heal:


I agree with you now. Doing menial jobs in UK is better than 230k salary job in Nigeria. Your full one month salary was enough to buy a benz car. Imagine! In Nigeria, it will take you almost 2 years of savings on your full 230k salary to afford such benz.

It is well.

INDUSTRIALFAN:
what ever you want to believe by all means do.

MrBrownJay1:


remember, some of us have lived in the UK, some of us know the prices of housing/bills/transport/gas/food/clothing/entertainment etc in the UK....and as much as you can get by in the UK on 2.5k monthly, lying to us that you can provide a better lifestyle than someone earning 230k in Nigeria, is the JOKE OF THE DAY!!!! you cant even afford your own apt, and have to share with someone, yet wanna claim that you live better than someone earning 230k in Nigeria?!?

see, on 230K monthly, a Nigerian can take care of his whole family of 4....he can get his OWN apt (not shared o), his OWN maid, his OWN cook, his own cleaner, his own driver, he can eat out everyday if he wishes to do so.... ALL OUT OF 230k monthly and still have saving at the end of the month... can you do the same with your 2,5k monthly in the UK?! stop trying to compare nonsense and feed unknown people nonsense. a person on 230K monthly in Nigeria lives a life 100 times better than yours in the UK, because life in Nigeria is CHEAPER, duh! (forget 2k Benz that you yourself cant afford, abeg). is it not the same coke bottle that cost 100Naira in Nigeria that will cost no less than the equivalent of 500Nairas in the UK?!

INDUSTRIALFAN:
I have no more words for you. I see no reason I want to trade them with you. Like I said, believe what you will. Sharing my apartment was a wise way for me to further cut down on my expenses and maximize whatever I choose to save. It is just £550 out of my monthly pay of 2,500 for the entire apartment and you think I can’t comfortably afford it if I wanted to when my entire expense for the month is not up to 1k? Haba chief . You mention you have lived in the uk like that qualifies you to know what living costs are like everywhere in the UK. Aberdeen incase you didn’t know is on of the cheapest places to live. Maybe na your extravagant uncalculated lifestyle make you run go back Nigeria sha. What do I know? Enjoy.

INDUSTRIALFAN:
on the contrary, you are the one who needs a reality check because I have no idea what state in Nigeria a man earning 230k will be able to get his OWN apartment, his OWN maid, his OWN cook, his own cleaner, his own driver, and still eat out everyday if he wishes to do so. Keep dreaming o Boda Bernard na those wey wan read ur quotes get ginger I de pity.
