Every time I see this on social media, I cringe! He's not spending naira in Australia and as such cannot used as a harbinger to relocate. This cut across moving from a developing country to a developed country. Even a developed place like Switzerland get eyebrows raised due to its high cost of living for citizens of other developed countries let alone Nigeria.

@DubaiPrince: From my little knowledge about the cost of living in Sydney (almost everyone complains about the cost of living), it won't be easy for a family of five to live comfortably (at least using your current standard) on A$85000. To live at your current standard, either madam stays in Nigeria or work in Australia. If you really desire it, it should be for the aim of PR then citizenship which will require great sacrifices. Looking at it further, madam staying in Nigeria is the best while you slug it in Australia and achieve PR status (my opinion) but it is your decision to make. Look at it from a five-year projection.

Best wishes in your decision.

with 10M per annum in Naija, you are a big man.... if you move to Aus for that salary you mentioned, You probably won't be able to live the way you are used to... And if your wife is currently a stay-at-home mum, she might have to start working.. in short, your comfort will reduce...so its up to you to decide whether a brighter future for your kids + more security and peace of mind in Australia outweighs the relatively easy life in Nigeria on that kind of salary..


If I was in your position though, I wouldn't move. i would process permanent residence in both Canada and Australia, fly over, activate it and hold it in case things go to hell in Nigeria one day, but I wouldn't actually relocate for anything below 120k. .... The cost of living is triple (or more) the cost of living in Nigeria, It doesn't make much economic sense to move for just Double the salary.

But hey, its just my opinion.

Hello ford users,

Welcome to ford talk forum. With my experience using ford explorer and other ford products spanning 6years now has been an amazing one. It's quite surprising whenever I hear friends talk about common problems of ford and so on. The truth is, this is one of United States' best vehicular technology. Don't get me wrong, there may be problems but I can assure you such problems are never discouraging.Therefore this forum is dedicated basically for ford vehicle users of different models and specifications so I can share experiences of rare and common problems of ford cars, jeeps and proffer solutions and advises will be given. So folks, feel free to ask questions or seek advise on maintenance as am very ready to deal with this issues with no cost.
Thanks.

But we've been buying cooking gas of 12kg between 3500 and 4500 in Port Harcourt for at least 3 years now. Does it mean people were buying cheaper in other parts of Nigeria?

The price of Liquefied Petroleum Gas, popularly known as cooking gas, has jumped by 45 per cent in less than a week amid scarcity of the product.

Our correspondent gathered that the price of 20 metric tonnes (about 35,000 litres) of the LPG, which was N2.4m last week Wednesday, had increased to N3.5m by Monday this week.




The Executive Secretary/Chief Executive Officer, Nigerian Association of LPG Marketers, Mr. Bassey Essien, while addressing journalists in Lagos on Thursday, decried the emergence of price instability in the domestic LPG market, which he said was caused by delays in berthing of the LPG bearing vessels at the terminals.

He said, “Recently, we have been contending with the issue of price instability because a couple of people have hijacked the government’s good gesture of installing the domestic scheme. Under the scheme, gas will be readily available in the major terminals in Lagos. When there are no supply shortages, there will be a level playing ground in terms of competition and pricing.

“Today, what we are having is the other way round. Last week Wednesday, gas was selling for N2.4m per 20 metric tonnes. On Thursday, it rose to N2.6m and on Monday this week, we got a text that it would sell for N3.5m. We feel that if nothing is done, it will go to N4m,”

Essien added that increasing the price of a 12.5kg cylinder to about N3,500 from less than N2,500 would frustrate the efforts made to encourage the use of LPG in the country.

The Pipelines and Product Marketing Company, a subsidiary of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, is tasked with the responsibility of managing the berthing of the LPG vessels at the terminals.

Essien said most of the terminals had been starved of gas, causing a near monopoly in the LPG market as only a private terminal was able to receive product, adding “The gas is not imported. It came from Bonny. So, why the sudden jump in price?

“We feel it is exploitation of Nigerians. Why are the vessels not berthing in other terminals? If it is a deliberate scheme, why should they not berth in other terminals? If those vessels berth in those terminals, then definitely there will be price stability.”

He said with increased awareness, the consumption of the LPG had increased over the years, buoyed by the government’s intervention by mandating the Nigeria LNG Limited to allocate a sizable portion of its LPG to the domestic market.

The NALPGAM executive secretary said the intervention brought about a reduction in the cost of cooking gas from N7,000 in 2007 to less than N3,000 per 12.5kg cylinder presently.

“The intervention was in line with government’s effort to build a healthy Nigeria and significantly stimulate the development of domestic usage of cooking gas,” he stated.

Essien said the NLNG had made commitment to delivering 250,000 tonnes of the LPG into the Nigerian market every year.

Well, at that level it isnt good but its not abnormal enough to cause panic. You have to work on it. Look for the Cause and try to eliminate it. It shouldnt really affect your chance of getting the job but if your employer wants a worker who can withstand stress ie if job is full of pressure they may waNt to look again. Anyway it also depends on how fit the doctor says you are in his report sheet.

Good luck my friend all the best.
