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

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!

LikeAking:
Op u just they make me vex by this time of the day.. We’re u one see slice bread of that quality by for Nigeria @ 800 Naira?

Live chicken of 3k, na immature small broiler, the chicken in that pic mature well.

Grandnut oil pass grandnut oil.. What we use here is bleached palm oil….

Butter pass butter, what we use here is butter from palm nuts, not margarine, etc.. Not the real butter..




Try reason bf u create post..

Don’t compare a third world country to a first world country…

Even though Migration is as old as humanity Nigerians are making it look like the next Gold rush.
In the past 2 years UK has made over 50billion pounds from Nigerians alone to shore up it's ailing economy and to keep the economy running they make sure they are stuck in jobs their own citizens refused to do while paying heavy taxes at the end of the day....Nigeria and Nigerian economy loses

Those I'm mad at are those doctors that got subsidized medical education and ran to UK to practice....why didn't you go to study medicine in UK?....just game our system.
If you want to practice in UK.....study medicine in the UK too.....abi does it make sense to want to be treating whites but use blacks to train
Ungrateful lot

You can get a room all bills included for 600 to 650 in London, outside London from 400 mr man.

You no know meaning of all bills included, Wey Dey earn 1530 after tax, no go wan buy car that time na, except you are doing 2k and above, men dey run 2300 to 3500.

You can pay 10 pounds for 20gb and free calls and text within the uk, at work, mall, mart, house there are always WiFi. You fit no finish the 20gb self, that one needed mostly when you dey road for map.

So there is all bills included rooms.

Except you are with your wife and she Dey work too, council tax na from 90pounds, electricity and gas mostly around 150pounds for couples, they combine and make life easy.

Calm down,

Lmao

It cost you 1 hour to earn that money in the UK... Ok minimum wage ooh

In Nigeria it would take you just over a week to earn that on minimum wage

So please do you calculations again

MT:


Is that the kind of life you desire to live outside the country ?.

Lowest of the low of everything.

I don't live this kind of life outside the country.

I understand your perspective now.

We ball differently.

Life make more sense when you are settled and earning well Mr man, medical care, leave your door unlocked to sleep, walk anytime, peace, no car horns, there are so many things to it, not just the living. Men dey earn enough and above, they are doing fine, you think it all about money ? That your political class send their kids and wife here?

The benefits, you give birth, they care for the child, they come to check on the child every week, send medications, every every, a dot must not stain that child,

Kids go to school absolutely free till high school, allow you the parents to save and build your dynasty.

There are a lot. It’s not just money money. Peace of mind comes with it too.

MT:


Have you calculated the amount you pay almost every week for so many activities - Field activities, trips costing 10GBP, 20gbp, 50GBP almost every week. Do the maths.

In the same UK, some are putting their wards into private schools, knowing that the level of public secondary school has dropped.

You painted the picture like it is heavenly. It is not. Just an illusion which you pay for underneath

YesDaddyTill203:


So is the government not a microcosm of the Nigerian society itself? If you remove everyone in government today and replace them with brand new ones like those on NL, in universities, in academia, and so on, do you really think there will be any drastic improvement? I can tell you right now that it will be worse. Their number one priority is to make sure that they are comfortable once their positions are over. In fact, their family members will remind them of that just in case they try to be too nice.
The govt that you have at any given time is a representation of your society. The average Nigerian is a crook, is corrupt, and is looking for quick riches. The ones complaining are doing so just because they have not gotten a chance to steal. We have maybe 2 percent ethical people, while 98 percent are unethical and will steal if given the chance.
On the other hand, in the West, the average White person is ethical and cares more about his society's wellbeing than about himself getting rich. I will say they have 80 to 90 percent ethical and maybe 10 percent unethical, especially in the US. But in Scandinavian countries, the ethical number is almost 100 percent. A white person will not steal even though he knows that he can get away with it. A Nigerian will steal even though he knows that he will be exposed sooner or later.
Blame your society, we are all part of the problem.

Chiffy:


First of all, you sound like one coming from a background of privileges. So your circle will be a circle of people with the same background. Step out of your circle and do your findings.

Secondly, you don't have to lie to support your point. 150k -180k as entry-level
I have people in Federal Govt jobs, who have worked for over 10 years, and barely make between 120 - 150k as salary.
Then I recommend you research (as in, actually make calls or ask people people outside your circle) on how much is earned monthly by the majority of state govt workers outside Lagos and FCT, or even professionals like lawyers and accountants and then semi-skilled workers like factory workers and hotel staff
Even in Lagos 50-70k is still a cap for many semi-skilled workers

You can only dream of places I have been.

All these newbies that managed to squeeze into UK within the two years will never cease to surprise me.

You leave like rats only to squeeze money together to save and you feel you have arrived.

Your normal routine is your one room shared apartment to office and back home. Is that life?

Anyone that raises a contrary opinion must be in Nigeria.

One day you will realise how the system is skewed against you. I repeat what you are seeing is an illusion.

It is daytime, smell the coffee, boy
