mechoau: If you have to work 2 jobs, long hours and take extra times that means your salary isn't enough for upkeep and it also means that you are struggling. People who earn well in the uk don't work 2 jobs. |

motymop: See poor boy mentality, sebi you are the one earning much abi? I won’t like to waste my time engaging words with you. Let me leave you to die in silent hunger. My first job with the council pays me 2,470 monthly and it’s just 35hrs weekly, two long( 7:30-9pm) days and half day ( 2pm-9pm). So if i have 4 off days, you expect me to just sleep inside house doing nothing when i can pick / do extra 20hrs and get paid. Your mentality is of first grade |

mechoau: It is not about poor boy mentality, it is just the reality of things. Stop using day offs as excuses. Your salary from your full time job isnt enough. If you have to work 2 jobs or 3 jobs to survive that means you are struggling financially, that is why you are working yourself to death. Because of the high cost of living, you have to work multiple jobs to keep up with the high cost of living. There is a difference between working a single job and doing over time there and working in 2 or 3 different jobs and doing over time in each of them, that is something of concern. |

mechoau: I am not dumb and i just telling you the truth with the info you provided There is nothing bad in working 2 or 3 jobs to meet up with the bills The slip you posted give us a bigger picture of your economic situation, also your rent also give a bigger picture of the area you live, it is obvious that you aren't living in a major city in the UK. |

motymop: Now i have finally come to a point that you are pained and i doubt you have ever travelled out of Nigeria? So Bcus i pay low rent makes you concluded shallow with little brain?? I live around the city dude and i live in Manchester. I wont necessarily disclose my area In Manchester. Sebi you earn more than me and you live in banana island and i strongly believe you earn 3-4million monthly abi? Have heard you.. you ain’t my type or class to exchange word with. If you believe that you earn more in Nigeria than uk no problem.. you shaa can’t drag my money with me? And you can’t grab my Schengen visa which i have just got from me with the same opportunity in Uk.. i wish you best in your endeavors 1 Like |
Re: Cost Of Living In Nigeria Is Cheaper Than UK Or US by motymop: 12:37am On Dec 07, 2023 |
mechoau: You are just being aggressive over nothing and all these your bragging wont do you good considering that you work minimum wage in the uk. and btw their is nothing bad in doing that... having a Schengen visa is not a flex, maybe to you it is an achievement but to me it is not. having a visa is a flex to poor people in Nigeria. Don't think everybody is a poor in Nigeria, just because you went to the UK, and just because you did not achieve your dream in Nigeria does not mean people are not achieving theirs in Nigeria. i am 100% sure you are the type of person that think he earns more than a branch manager or bank CEO in Nigeria after converting pound to Naira. Haha. The reason you love to change your pounds to Naira after every pay is to intimidate ignorant people here and also to feel like you have achieve something even though you earn low and live in the UK i don't live in Banana island but you cant afford to live in banana island, do not think because you work minimum wage job in the Uk that means you have arrived or that you can suddenly afford to buy a land or rent a house in banana island, no you cant, wake up from your dream. You are still poor in the UK considering standard of living and also considering the fact that your annual salary isn't up to the national average. You don't have to disclose the area you live in Manchester but your rent and slip has already done the talking for you and the OP is right.(you haven't remove rent, feeding, council tax and gas bill). You pay very low rent in Manchester and it says a lot about your situation and here you are talking about class and type.. that is insanely ridiculous. I am not trying to be rude, but stop trying to be rude just because you are in the UK doing care work and over time. |

motymop:I can see it is very obvious this thing really pained you Instead of you to be happy that your fellow countrymen in another country is able get jobs and earn to pay his bills without knowing anyone due to their fairly just and meritorious system, you are here feeling very angry and bitter. I don't understand the kind of human being you are, Na devil 😈 you be? Haba. Do you know that in Nigeria currently only food is now consuming 70% of middle class income. One can't get anything meaningful unless the person knows someone that knows somebody that knows a politician. It is too bad. Let's tell ourselves the truth. Nigeria should not be exclusively only for politicians. Yes he is doing minimum wage jobs. Leave it like that. |
Re: Cost Of Living In Nigeria Is Cheaper Than UK Or US by motymop: 10:27pm On Dec 07, 2023 |
VeeVeeMyLuv: Having a different opinion is bad belly to you. When he was talking down to other who have a different opinion, i am guessing you didnt see that or are you just an ass kisser who just accept anything told to him or her I am not against anyone going abroad to work but don't create a false reality because you earn in pounds and stop thinking there are no successful people In Nigeria. just because it is not working for you does not mean it is not working for others. my last submission is Tell him to stop changing his money to Naira anytime he is paid, he doesn't spend Naira in the UK and yes the OP who created this thread is right, Nigeria is more cheaper than the UK because it is a low income country |
Re: Cost Of Living In Nigeria Is Cheaper Than UK Or US by mechoau(m): 10:52pm On Dec 07, 2023 |
motymop: You haven’t answered my question, how much do you earn weekly and monthly? Then show us proof of this? And I’ll take you serious. My one week pay will feed you and feed your 1yr salary |
Re: Cost Of Living In Nigeria Is Cheaper Than UK Or US by motymop: 10:05am On Dec 08, 2023 |
mechoau: I don't have to show proof to strangers online about my income. only people with inferiority complex do that...Income are private discussion not for public consumption. When you were running your bet naija shop in Nigeria, Why didnt you post your income online, suddenly when you went to the UK and start earning minimum wages, you start to brag thinking you are better than Nigerians in Nigeria when obviously you earn and spend in the UK. i have said this many times, just because Nigeria was not working for you does not mean it is not working for other people, And YES, there are Nigerians living in Nigeria that earn more than you from Nigeria and they also live a low cost life. Your one week salary cant feed me and my family for 1 years. Stop the cap , it might be able to feed me for 3 weeks because of the low cost of things here in Nigeria but your one week salary wont feed you for 3 days that why you have to do over times. ( you just agree with the OP that Nigeria has a lower cost of living than the uk) That is the point i want you to agree and you have done that by yourself. You don't know me, so stop bragging to a stranger over nothing, it makes you sound crazy. |

psalmsjob: Sorry my brain stopped comprehending all that you wrote, as soon as I got to the bolded part. Nigeria's minimum wage is expressed as a monthly salary which is currently N35,000 per month. How much is that per hour? 9am - 5pm with 1 hour break in between translates to 7 hours per day or 140hours per 4 weeks. So basically the minimum wage per hour is N250 per hour. If you were going to be factual, you would be comparing foodstuffs that you can buy with N250 in Nigeria and foodstuffs you can buy in the UK with £10.42 (or £9.16 after tax deductions). So what foodstuffs can you buy with N250? 1 Like
