The sweet go eventually circulate.

The world leaders would prefer to spend the money on ammunition, senseless war instead of taking care of important things.

you can imagine nations using taxpayer money to build weapons of mass destruction instead of utilizing it for important things, most government will rather fund wars than help their poor citizens.
it seems we humans were made to be stupid and insensitive

It costs less than £60 a year to run a fridge

Trust you can never afford what they pay for electricity. Most people abroad can barely afford to eat because food has gone up over 100%. Cost of living crises is a global issue. My friend pays electricity bill of equivalent 200k a month for 2 bedroom flat.

Lies. Food is dirty cheap. Secondly you will pay that much if you don't have a pre paid meter, stay in a flat that is not insulated during winter and don't manage your gas usage

Food is very expensive. Call your family and friends in US and UK let them tell you how the cost of food his risen.

Please, are you abroad?

This is one of the reasons I don't take this japa thing serious, but earnestly wish this country worked well for the good of the common man. Will the criminals in government allowed it, only time will tell.

The same 200k covers my 3 bedroom apartment with security, electricity and environmental bills in Akure for a whole year

UK is one country I will never relocate to even for free. The kind of suffering and smiling(with fake accent) in that country no be joke. Imagine turning off refrigerator because of electricity bill when here in Owerri, all I want is for the things in there especially drinks to be mortuary standards.

Its possible to turn off fridge becos d light is 24hrs.most fridge remain frozen without power even after 4 days.so it makes sense.

Tell that your friend to also convert his earnings in naira for you.

EmeeNaka:
Do not be deceived. People that lives in the UK earns in UK pounds and paying an energy bill equivalent to 200k naira a month is not as big as the person would want you to believe.

You be olodo walahi
Electricity cost is huge

How much did u friend pay last for gas, electricity, water, and council tax..... It's more than equivalent of 200k ...u just dey cap

For some of you celebrating, I hope you understand that, that country's government have provided these basic social amenities which is still alien to a lot of Africa's population. The only problem is, nowadays, millions can't afford it because of the unstable economy.

We here in Africa aren't asking for much, we just want clean water, security, education, good roads, and other very simple "amenities" provided by Roman empire centuries ago. Is it that difficult?

There is little difference here. One country doesn't have it enough while the other country has it in excess but citizens can't afford it. And here in Nigeria, many households bypass their prepaid meters every night just to enjoy electricity free of charge.
Sometimes, our govts are not the problem but we the citizens. But we have managed to convince ourselves that our government is responsible for everything that's wrong with this country.

Pound for pound electricity is more expensive in Nigeria if you ad how much you spend on generator to achieve 24 hours electricity and if you consider the minimum wage of both countries you will see Nigeria electricity bill is actually higher

They should adopt estimated billing now.

Things are hard every where in the world. In America you still see homeless people. In UK, just as in everywhere in the world, you turn off your appliances to reduce your bills when high.
Basically to compare your owerri to UK? Well it depends on what you want to compare and your status. If you are making great money in owerri, can afford to power your mikano, pay your electricity bills too, pay for first class schools for kids, have security, acess to good food, lifestyle, house etc, what then concerns you with abroad when you have the basics. You will rather go abroad on vacations.

Whalis:
This is no news as people in UK do not need fridge in the first place. Heating system is the first priority and not freezer.

They actually do to preserve their perishables.

If you are on prepaid, you will understand better. You can load any amount you want. If you want to use it to recharge only your phones, you can just load 500 naira and rest for more than 6 months.

Can Nigerians afford transportation? Okada, keke and airplane na means of transportation. Everyone will find their own level in the electricity sector.

Let us blame Tinubu. The UK only started unplugging their refrigerators after Tinubu got elected.

Seconded...........BLOODY EMILOKON

Ok u were deported ....lol

They have 24/7 electricity everywhere in their country. Unlike your country ran by criminal leaders that is generating 5,000 megawatts for 180 million people.

Of what use and relevance is what you cannot pay for and cannot use because you are too poor to use electricity or pay your bills.?

It's an interesting question. One wonders if you'll support that logic if applied to the case of Nigeria.
Your brain suddenly starts working when it's UK
