Nigeria is incredibly cheap and unprofitable for multinationals.

Why should Coke sell for 200 Naira in Nigeria and the same Coke manufactured the same way sell for 2000 Naira equivalent in UK

If you are a company where would you invest your money UK or Nigeria

A plate of Jollof rice in UK from a typical Nigerian restaurant is 20000 Naira... and that is the very cheap one

akingangan:


If you are earning 100 thousand in Nigeria you are better off than someone earing 1000 in Europe... Because you can rent a house, eat comfortably and transport comfortably especially outside of Lagos

Stephench:

I live in Europe. You don't tell me what I know. The only thing that runs into the hundred in Europe is rent. If 3 guys take 3 bedroom flat they'll cut down the rent and the houses are quite clean and each person to one room. This is what I've seen firsthand. They have enough for whatever they want and they're doing menial jobs. I'm not even talking about the skilled ones like us - the lowest of the work force from Nigeria are able to save working here in Europe - just have a job that's all.

You are talking RUBBISH. The guy said his friends are buying Iphones and cars and renting flats on 1k a month salary and that is a FCKING LIE.

AND IF THEY ARE IN THE UK, IT'S A TRIPLE FCKING LIE.

A 3 BEDROOM FLAT IN THE UK WILL SET YOU BACK £2,000 (IE 4 MILLION NAIRA) MINIMUM PER MONTH FOR A REALLY CHEAP PLACE.

3 GUYS SHARING THAT WILL PAY ROUGHLY £700 POUNDS PER MONTH EACH.

WE HAVEN'T EVEN MENTIONED GAS, ELECTRIC, HEATING, PHONE BILL, SKY TV BILL ETC.

WHERE IS THE MONEY FOR CARS AND IPHONES OR EVEN FOOD?

THEY ARE DOING BENEFIT FRAUD OR CREDIT CARD FRAUD.

MOST DEFINITELY.

faceland:


Is this one in Nigeria?

100k naira?

Assuming you only work 5 days a week and spend 1k on transport, that is 20% on transport alone (for you and not dependent or transport to other places). Then you use the remaining for food, NEPA, personal hygiene products, and emergency for a whole month. Someone earnings 100k naira in Nigeria ought to have high blood pressure (and God forbid they lose their job, they are finished).

redheart:
This mumu dey follow write rubbish. How is rent 2k for UK, this same place that have been for the past two years? Stop writing rubbish. My 2 bedroom rent here is 725p. Food is the most useless thing here, unlike Nigeria where food is gold. Here, i can save up money in two weeks amd get a decent car. Stop capping nonsense out of ignorance abeg. Even the bills na exaggeration. Ignorant mumu

Earning 1000 in Europe a month is not enough to rent a room and pay the bills in most European cities.

It's like earning 100,000 in Nigeria.

Stephench:


You're the liar here. There are 27 countries in the EU and I have been to a few of them - I live in one. There are many countries that pay between 1000 to 2000 euros for menial jobs including overtime and you can comfortably rent a 3 bedroom for a thousand euro. Rent is the only essentials that's expensive in Europe. Other expensive things are luxuries that you don't actually need. Food is quite cheap - unless you want to start eating Nigerian. For me I spend excessively because I use Nigerian milks, Nigerian soaps and creams and most or the things I use for food and for personal care are from Nigeria. Most of these guys use whatever is available in the European country where they live. Some go to work with scooters or buy bus cards with 50 euros or a little more or less depending on the country.

What else is needed there? Wears are expensive, but majority of Nigerians get clothes from different sources including thrifts where they are sold 1 euros by charities. Why are you guys arguing with someone that is right here?

Stephench:

In Europe, some or my friends that get paid 1000 to 2000 euros per month pay rent from the money - rent 3 bedroom with 3 people at 1k each to their rooms. Pay bills. Eat food - food is very cheap in Europe, pay transportation. Flex a little and still have some money to send back home.

How is Nigeria cheap if the monthly salary can not buy a bag of rice?

Some of my friends have bought cars from their month salary. Some buy the newest release of iPhones and Samsung . Even before the current inflation, Nigeria has been the most expensive country to live in

EponObi:


Small small with the lamba.

If your friends are earning €1k per month in EU, they are earning minimum wage. €2k salary is even way below average - that's €24k per year.

Dey play. Your friends are among the lowest earners in EU. You self said, all the do with their salary is pay bills pay rent, pay for food, and transport,*then little flex*

Your friends are slaves in Europe. No offense. And with rate EU countries are about to enter recession and rampaging inflations, your friends are not different from folks earning #100k in Nigeria, like some rightly said.

And I won't be surprised if some of your friends were among top salary earners in Nigeria before japaing.

Stephench:


You succeeded in saying nothing. We're talking about cost of living compared to the salaries and I deliberately used the lowest earners/the most vulnerable to give my example. I have friends that are earning hundreds of thousands of euros who are my seniors in software engineering but why should I use them as instance when the most affected by cost of living are the poorest?

And again you lie, someone earning 1k in Europe is like someone earning like 800k in Nigeria present exchange rate. Early last year's exchange rate is like someone earning 500k. You know why? Only rent is much more expensive than Nigeria and other essential commodities are on the same range.

If you're earning 100k in Nigeria, there is absolutely no way you can save 400 euros but someone earning 1k in Europe can save 400 euros. Don't argue with me if you've never lived in Europe

Stephench:

Who's talking about living large? They live in houses that has things that only big men can afford in Nigeria and eat whatever they want and pay rent, pay bills and still have a few hundreds left each month. I live in Europe bro though I don't do menial jobs cos I'm a software engineer

DeOTR:

We are saying the same thing. Paying a quarter of €1k monthly as rent would get you same big man experience in Nigeria, most certainly even more comfortable.
I've lived in the Baltic, 2k monthly is still below average in most European countries.

What sort of menial job is that. Because I know pharmacist that are paid about 3000euros a month in Ireland.

@akingagan: Hi mugu, pls stfu as directed.
Please, stop commenting on what is beyond your academic knowledge. This I why the likes of Tinubu and Buhari could deceive you guys, and you were shouting, "on your mandate".
You need to leave your village and travel out. Your points are rusty and incoherent.
In EU and America's people are paid hourly. Go and check minimum wages. Most countries you refer to, the minimum wage rate per hour is your Nigerian monthly wage. If you earn N100k a month in Nigeria, that is someone's hourly wage rate. So, the one earning N100k per hour can decide to spend N50k a day for food and he would not know that he spend money. So stop showcasing your ignorance.
