Okay, so tell me how much should be enough to earn in the UK that would be enough. An average worker in the UK do not earn £60k, mind you most jobs in the UK are ussually [b]menial job[/b]s, to earn £60k you must be more than an average earner.
@ bolded where do you get this from? Manial Jobs are for the Eastern Europeans. Nigerians rarely do those!
The average Nigerian now come to the UK documented, we are more aware and prepared.

You are not getting a mortgage for a £450k house with £60k alone unless you have a very large deposit

Like I said, the poster was exaggerating (or just didn’t know what he was talking about) when he called it ‘nothing to write home about’, however it’s not wealthy money in London, just decent
Haba you k now waht I mean nah, I dnt need to go down the neety gritty,ofcos there must be at least 10%, what I'm saying is for that wage you credit rating is at top bar, prime minister earns £110k so @ £70 you re doing well.If you earn 30k but get deposit of 100k and I earn 70k but get deposit of 70k, I am at advantage than the 100k deposit guy

COMPAQ:
Many Nigerians are on poorer pay here that cannot deliver the quality of life they want.

Inflation and high cost of living is an issue pretty much everywhere right now, but the UK own is worse due to highly inflated energy prices this winter that is making it like 3 to 4 times more expensive to heat homes this winter. imagine earning £2500 a month and your gas bill goes from £120 to £480. Wettin remain to live on.

However higher paid professionals like doctors, finance guys, tech people etc will still find it easier to cope than teachers, taxi drivers,brain drivers etc.

Besides, a lot of Nigerians are going to school, so maybe it's not so bad for them.
Long time Sir, how have you been, we still dey NL ahah, good to hear from you bro

We re talking about the quality of life, feed what? Before 2015 families earning less than 70K could afford a bag of rice which was around 8k then in Nigeria, how many families earning less than 70k can now afford a bag of rice going for 50k on a monthly basis?

The quality of earnings matter in the long run , because there is what economics call time value of money. In 2019 the average cost of a decent smart phone tanked at 50k, how much is the average cost of a decent smart phone now? Over 120k ( thats just for a decent one) Someone earning 100k in 2019 will struggle to replace his or her new phone unless they have other things doing.

People still eat here in Nigeria, maybe 3 square meals too, but what do they eat, some eat meals worth 50k at a time other eat meals worth less than 500 naira, on the surface they all eat.

Its like the proverbial tale of lizards lying on their stomachs, cant tell which one has stomach ache on the surface.

Point of correction. You don't use parallel market in converting. People in UK send money through apps like lemonade. The exchange rate there is £1 = 890 Ngn. That is £1k= 890,000Ngn

Most of them haughty migrants they always see and paint Nigerian context too harsh, where as you can actually make good money here and go for vacations in western countries.

The money is only high when compared to the naira, its a function of the exchange rate, 35000 dollars or pounds per year in US or UK is a poor wage by their standards. What can you really accomplish with that in the midst of high living expenses?

If you left Nigeria for good why are you talking of converting your foreign wages to naira? Why cant you invest over there and forget Nigeria papapata.
people get Mortgage on such salary. Feed.

Almost all workers are complaining in the UK and everbody is on strike on wage issue from trainr drivers to ambulance to teachers to nurses to university on strike They are complaining of poor pay debt and leaving the job . But Nigerians that are well paid are also leaving on student visa to join the strike in the .UK or cannot see the cost of living crisis in the UK . Is there something else
One mans meat is another mans poison ,Nigerians can manage where the Uk people cant. If we have such rights like the Uk people, we will strike more than them!
