I don't know "here" you are talking about. But I know that majority of salary earners don't have side hustles

You are wrong!

No matter how much you earn in Nigeria, you MUST have a side hustle.

Almost everybody does.

erico2k2:

Brother stop this talk nah, its being ignorant. Have you not seen people dies on the road from bleeding?
DO you have anyone to call to your home get burnt and your person got burnt?
If you have common appendix, do you have anywhere or anyone to call for such simple Operation?
If not for private hospitals in Nigeria, do you know how many persons would have gone 6ft bellow by now.in the uk U call the ambulance and they are there even b4 you look at the window sometimes. Beg stop.Nigeria wey be say ordinary check up you get charged.

You are NOT current at all.

Government hospitals are the most patronised in the country these days.

When I did my hernia operation, it was in a general hospital. The bill was less than 10k.

Government hospital is where you have the specialists.

All most private hospitals attend to is first aid issues, malaria and typhoid treatment, cholera treatment and other sundry ailments as well as basic maternity issues including CS.

here is where you miss the point, you do not need to pay to anyone not even insurance. to get treated anyone gets treated.

But you admitted it's already deducted from you salary upfront - health insurance.

Haba!

I surprised you want to have this conversation without even bothering to know how the Uk system works, Well since you failed to at least have a read let me help you.
There are two groups of people in the Uk, those that work and those who do not work.
Now those who do not work get free housing and money from government so do not pay anything as a matter of fact the get more from government. So If 4 some reason I'm not working, I will have free house from government and get universal credit. This is why someone who is illegal in the Uk can walk into AnE and get treated. In the USA this was what Obama changed into called Obama care. Cos he realised teh vast majority of people who cannot afford health insurance were blacks.

Which category do you belong? That is what matters. If you are the non-working category, you lose all your independence as a human being.

I have a washing machine but I choose to hire someone to do the washing for me.
How is that your headache?

I enjoy near 24 hours light so much so that I don't even have a generator.
Sometimes, I have to switch off my freezer to get stuffs out.

God secures us here. I have never had to visit the police station or call the cops for any security issue.

My human rights are intact. I am free to practice my faith and NOBODY dictates to me how to treat my wife and children unlike you niggerrrs abroad.

My house rent is 250k per year and it's been so since 2020.

You said the person in UK saves 500k monthly. Why do you guys like converting your chicken change pounds to Naira just to feel good?

Did you not purchase a visa and flight ticket to enter the UK? What the huge school fees you paid to attend a mushroom university over there?

Can you stay in UK and enjoy your Naira here in Nigeria?

If you are to visit Nigeria, don't you know how much it will cost you in air fares and the rest?

So you see, you are just managing over there. Nothing spectacular.

Hahahaha. You know where you Belong bro. 200k monthly and 250k per annum for a face me i face you abi. I am perplexed you have not even seen the issue here. It means you earn well over 200k monthly, so the comparison by onyema is useless.

@bolded Nope.
I live in an x-bedroom flat with 2 toilets. Most of you guys live in studio
My living standard is quite high and above the regular average here. So you can't use me to judge.

This debate is becoming useless to me because the point has been missed. I only debate to learn. You have already. Acknowledge you earn more than 200k a month.
I am wondering the location where a rent of 250k per Anuum comes with 5 bedroom flat with 2 toilets and the standard of living is compared to a living in UK.
Please be informed that in most places abroad, the size of your apartment is determined by the size of your family. 700-1000 pounds gives you a decent place.

Any, I do not live in the UK. Please learn to have a health and smart debate.

People earning far less than me are also doing well. They are building their houses. That's the fact and the point I am trying to make.

Building houses where road no go reach. I went to visit a friend in Akobo lagos in 2012 during rainy season, 2024 the road is till the same shit but he lives in a 3 bedroom, pays 350k but the suffer head to reach this 3bdroom na wa. ... how inhumane can the govt of a country be.

When you compare obalende to Ikoyi, you will know something is definitely wrong with Nigeria.

Apologies if you're not lagos based

Those are one-off scenarios.

Also, Nigeria is not all about Lagos.

I am not based in Lagos and where I stay is cool.

Donaldoni:


I insist, just mind your business.

The lady is not complaining.

Ohh because she is not complaining means it is okay abi. If she were to be your sister i guess you will be happy if her employer is paying her such peanut. why not sit her down and give her the chance to air her mind and you will be shocked to know she is actually complaining.

My brother we pray ohh, I feel so sorry for guys in 9ja cos I really do not know how they survive. Kudos to those who do, the going rent in my area is actually N1.5m I reduced mine to N1.2m cos of hardship to others. God nor go shame us. My Mrs fuel consumption on her car is N110/month and this guy is talking 200K even N500k now you are poor.

Try talk like someone who has a property that is renting for 1.2m/month na.
Your Mrs car doesn't consume N110/month in Nigeria.

An MPV with a 3.3 litre Engine (Sienna) Approx 75 litres on the Tank. She fills up average 3 times i n a month and you think N110k is too much, then what are you going to say about my own car that cost nearly N100k to fill the Tank?Guy see, nor be everybody for nairaland the struggle!
