Originalsly: They won't want to here this, all they spend their time onnis to wail about Nigeria. In one month in UK, a deduction of 640 pounds was made on my income as tax. None of the mumus would agree to such heavy tax in Nigeria yet they want government magic for the country to become paradise. Silly! 1 Like |

psalmsjob: Did you really think this through before writing this rubbish? The 10,000 naira you mentioned is ⅓ of one's monthly minimum wage here in Nigeria. Can that person feed himself for 2 weeks with 30,000 naira? Let's stop being stupid glorifying rubbish. Only the truth will set us free. 2 Likes |

omokab:What exactly is your point Minimum wage in the UK is £10 per hour that's the lowest anyone can get paid anyone... Paying someone less than that is a crime In Nigeria the minimum wage is 30k a month We are comparing both 2 Likes |

fetrillion: Is Google not our friend again...let's even follow your own data 45pound a week is about N45,000 a week that's about N180,000 per month. Do you think we spend that much on food in Nigeria I a month even in a 5-memeber family and I guess your 45pound a week is not for a 5-member family. |

Difrent:Lol your anger and frustration should be directed at your government who don't know how to keep and maintain and take care of their own health care workers which the likes of Britain is teaching them how to. By the way, I heard from the grapevine that your federal government are thinking of ways to increase the number of admissions into medical school and train and graduate them for the western countries to poach again. This is what happens when you don't have a sound intellectual leader at the helm of affairs. 3 Likes |

psalmsjob:Lol you can't just analyze the amount spent on food in isolation. It'd be irrational and illogical to do that. You have to place it side by side with how much they earn! Someone who earns over #3million naira a month as in the UK would see #180k a month food as a piece of cake while someone who earns #250-300k per month like in your country Nigeria would see such #180k spending on food as outrageous. Please not everyone has that poor mentality like most Nigerians. In the US I resided, my accomodation cost per month was about $1300 which is like over #1.3million per month for accomodation alone. But I never felt this because I earned way above $8k per month. So please get your analysis right. 3 Likes |

psalmsjob:your analysis is wrong bro. 😑 Someone earning monthly minimum wage in UK can still afford to live and feed comfortably when compared to a Nigerian earning minimum wage monthly. Normal working hours per week in UK is 37.5 working hours. Do the maths... multiplying 37.5 by only £10 and by 4 (weeks in a month).. that's like £1500. If the person is living in a comfortable studio apartment and the rent is just about £525 - £600 and paying all bills (electricity, water etc..) and will be eating well! The person will still be able to save up £300 monthly That is definitely not the case if you're earning monthly minimum wage in Nigeria. 3 Likes |

psalmsjob: How much is your salary? Then divide it and tell me how much you earn an hour. Then think of what your hourly wage can get you. If they probably work 8-10 hours, that might be your salary in a whole month. |

sinero: Pls until you come back to Nigeria, don't make this senseless comment again. Nigeria is good and you left for the UK. Now you are complaining about tax of 640 pounds and you are still there. Why don't you come back. You are calling people mumus where as you are the chief of them all. 2 Likes |

psalmsjob: This your analysis is lame as well as useless. Dollar is the legal tender in USA and up till tomorrow, one can use $1 to buy something tangible, same goes for pounds in UK. But in Nigeria, even #1000 can't afford one a good breakfast. It will be best to compare our purchasing power instead of doing conversation and all that. |

Difrent: So because the fee was subsidized; they should stay in a country that underpays and undervalues them? You’re literally making no sense. Doctors are being owed salaries in all states in the nation. Several are practicing out of passion at this point because if it’s left to the payments; they’ll drop the profession. But you feel because their education was subsidized; they should wallow in a nation that pays them once in two months and regularly look for ways to boycott salary arrears. If you like to suffer; they don’t. |

modernWays: What costs exactly?! Lol. Is it fuel? It’s just as expensive. Is it light? I can categorically tell you that you pay more here because you pay in several occasions and don’t even see it. Is it water? You genuinely think it’s cheaper to dig a borehole than pay for water running from the government? Or is it security? Or rent? Rent in Nigerian cities are just as expensive as any major city in the world. So what exactly makes life cheaper? Because you can cut corners once in a while? Lol. You do know those corners are why our society is like this? Nations that don’t cut corners have a working system to show for it. So once again; what makes life cheaper here? |

psalmsjob: You guys don't understand economics at all. Are you earning and spending Naira there? No. Therefore, why are you converting it to Naira. If you go to south Africa and buy those things then convert the value to Naira, you will get the same result. Go to anywhere in the world where their currencies are valuable and bigger than that of Naira you will get the same result. Carry one dollar com buy this kain bread for here make we see how much you go collect for change. We don't spend dollar here the same way they don't spend Naira there. Do you know that our living standard is way smaller than one dollar in Nigeria while our cost of living is way bigger than one dollar? Things you bought that are way lower than one dollar comparing to what you will buy with hundred on naira. Abeg! Stop disturbing us with your beer parlour comparison. |

I don'tknowwhereyouaregettingyourfiguresfrombut they seemwrong. 1 mediumsized butter(not margarine) is N2500!. Also, 1 live chicken is at least N5000! So, run your numbers again. quote author=psalmsjob post=127287043]I'm posting this as a response to the topic that made Nairaland front page yesterday; "See What Someone Bought With An Hour Minimum Wage In The UK £10", the link: https://www.nairaland.com/7929193/see-what-someone-bought-hour UK & US ARE OVER-RATED NIGERIA IS STILL BETTER in terms of cost of living see a practical example why doing a price comparison: 1 pound to 1 naira today is N1,001 so are you saying with £10 x N1,001 = N10,001 you cannot buy everything in that basket and collect change in Nigeria today? 1 Sliced Bread = N800 2 Spaghetti = N1400 1 Gesha = N600 1 live chicken = N3,000 1 75cl soya Oil = N1,400 1 Midium size Butter = N600 2 Gino Tomato paste = N1,000 Total = N8,800 so your change is N1,200 that's if you exchange pound to naira at offical rate and buying at the most expensive stores or high brands. If you exchange at black market rate and buy at public market "days" you will collect as much as N6,000 after buying everything in that basket....that's about £6 left. LET'S JUST THANK GOD FOR WHAT WE HAVE AND STOP LOOKING AT AND GLORIFYING ANOTHER MAN'S LAND MORE THAN OUR OWN....OUR OWN NA OUR OWN O [/quote] |
