BUT in UK, you will pay UK rate for everything.
UK rent, UK light, UK food, UK transport, UK tax, UK phone bill, UK internet....
and at the end of the month, the money will still finish.
-
Only if one can teleport from UK to Nigeria regularly.
Live here, but work there.

Money finish as how? Well except u chose to live extravagant life. Forgetting where u coming from.

I stay in d cheapest city.. Rent per month is 500. Am working n wife working. Light n gas take 90. Internet take 25.
Transportation take 100.... Mind u in a week one person salary fit cover all this


So how this bill wan take drain u

Although the same house i de pay 500 for London na 1800 if u add bill fit de reach 2000 plus monthly. After all na u go chose London.

Other cheaper cities are there... Scotland, wales, north east etc this are for beginners like we

Your location dey different from my location.

I thought they said those whe went to the UK via study route are always compelled to leave after their program. How were you able to get a work visa or is it an illegal stay?

After graduating u still have 3 months to staybye and work full time. Anf u still have options to apply for post graduate visa which gives u 2 years visa to stay and look for graduates jobs

Quelme:
The prices are well too expensive sef. Those Indians when dey run African shop in the UK dey use person head.

Abeg give me expo where i fit buy cheaper.. Any clue will be appreciated

We4all:
You went via study route and after completing the program, you still dey do maiguard work? Hmmnn...

What do you mean? A cleaner, care giver etc earn very high. Don't overlook anyjob as there is dignity in labour in UK ..

Secondly when u get to a country u have not been before u have to start from somewhere, u don't expect q recent graduate that is just graduating n with no experience after graduating to be working in top banks or u expect me to fold my arms and sit by??.
I believe as they said no job in Nigeria, u will fold ur hands n put in ur pockets without minding u have to start somewhere

Enter UK.. You go see mayguard riding Tesla...
Range rover sport na pure water.

Myrrhis:
Oga, the person you quoted is the one that expects you to be sharing your earnings with your Nigerian community.

By the way, isn't 50m too much to spend on japa?
Has it been worth it so far?

Na study route oh.. And i came with my family although not entirely 50m but close if converted using today's exchange rate

Hope they wont scatter all this things they are building in Abuja once they failed to achieve their political ambitions 2027

OboOlora:
U de UK still de chop mackerel
Just go back to Nigeria cos God never answer ur prayer lol

which fish make i chop no vex? Is mackerel a bad fish or meant for poor people

iamtoofan:
Yeah we go again with alll the entitlement crap to safe face, did family and friends not contribute to send some people abroad, life no hard abeg

If you think its only people abroad that wake up to urgent help then you are nobody yet.

i never chop today buh i don send person urgent 5k, and No it wasnt a blackmail i understand the person needs it

My brother i weak oh.
Someon spent over 50m japa without any assistance from the so called friends now he wants the person to be sharing his monthly salaries

iamtoofan:
That is an unfair question to Nigerians, bro people like us live below $1 per day

Now is the best time to be outside or earning in pounds, dollars or euro. Honestly

iamtoofan:
yiiimu dont mind dem, ! naa when you need there help you go know their real story

e be like say stingyness dey adaptation course for uk .. even yahoo boiz avoid UK client

You mean client bro? Well When i went to the UK... I rally round to ensure it became a reality. And this means am there to better my immediate family lives and my brother, sisters, parents... You don't expect me to carry the burden of a community.

iamtoofan:
insightful .. buh if you aint talking Tax the story never complete
for here people eye don dey open calculator uk tax nkor

Yes you pay taxes..but just a little percentage of ur earnings like on that 12p.. U could pay 1.5p as tax.

Hope that is not too much

PrinceOfLagos:
12 pounds per hour wage if converted to naira is huge amount here
.
If you work for 8 hours daily , then you suppose don build mansions upon mansions in just a year

Everyone has priority.. If that is your priority then you can work towards it. I already have houses in Nigeria before i japa.

PrinceOfLagos:
Ok is there fixed hour that you're allowed to work in a particular place daily or you just work and work for the number of hours your body can carry you?

Who is calculating the number of hours you worked or is there a clock-in clock-out machine that calculate the number of hours that you worked on a daily?

How much are you paid weekly ?

You sign into the app that have goelocation which means u can only sign in when you arrive and sign out when u are done working.
They still assigned u supervisors who u report to and he does his part to ensure u are at work.

You cab signup for two agencies or just one... One is okay like i do. So they just select days of the week for u to work. Like monda to Thursday etc.

And there is a contract you have to sign that state number of hrs u are expected to work per week.. It could be 45hrs or 60hrs per week.


If u still want more there is overtime u could cover or better still take a second job to work weekends or if u have a car u can be taking orders like delivery and u will be making 100 per day on delivery or more.. Side hustle

Randerl:
Those eight titus fishes is like 26k here in Nigeria.

And how many days will it take for an average Nigerian to earn that 26k? Mind you it take me 1hrs to earn that and i work 12hrs a day. Mind you the fish will last for 3 days as i love eating fish

The current leadership and also the immediate past leadership did a poor job on the economy of Nigeria. Allowing the naira to depreciate driving millions of Nigeria below poverty line

PrinceOfLagos:
I know

Are you paid daily, weekly or monthly ? And how much do you shell off to the tax man from your earning ?

Weekly. But there are jobs that pays monthly. But i prefer weekly... Every Friday before 7am ur money is sitting on ur bank and ur are greeted with an alert.

Nigerians politicians have failed us.. In fact they should be in jail

PrinceOfLagos:
12 pounds per hour wage if converted to naira is huge amount here
.

Am not using any school qualification to do the work... Just a normal mayguard and i could afford good things of life with ease.

Other things i got from another shop are a
pack of 5kg of rice that cost 8.99 pounds
Egusi 3.49 pounds
Salt 1.49 pounds
Tin tomato 1.99 pounds
Pack of start maggi 2.49 pounds


In fact a week i spend 35 pounds to buy all we need to use to prepare stew, soup (3 types of soup). Store all in fridge. ( a family of 3)

That 35 pounds is just about 3hrs wage pay.

Nigeria actually need an intervention at this stage. When i look how things are organised in UK
All road motorable with no single pot holes.
With high way everywhere, flyovers interlinking exis.
No single blink of light.
Security top notch. You can work 1am on the road covering several kilometres with no fear of being killed or robbed. You call police it takes less than 5 minutes to arrive where u are even in forest.

Then u wonder how is this posible to achieve.

This post is in response to the thread below about the high cost of fish in Nigeria. You can find the thread here
https://www.nairaland.com/8225493/see-what-experience-market-woman/1#132221604

Here are some fishes i bought fot just 12 pounds. They are 8 in number. I bought it alongside grinded ogbonno. You can see the grounded ogbonno in the transparent pack that cost about 4 pounds.


So i ended up spending 16.17 pounds in this African shop i went to. I also attached the receipt.

Guess what? The 8 fishes, i was holding one when i took d pix.. i got for 12 pounds is just an hour wage rate. This is what i am paid in just one our of working.

While converting the prices to Naira might be expensive the actual reality is how much effort is put to achieve that earning putting time factor into consideration.

BY LIVING THE REALITY BEHIND, ABBBBBBBI

Let me know the reality on ground.

Everybody wan trend

The insecurity is an act of God

Presidential Election: Tinubu’s Victory An Act Of God – Sultan Of Sokoto:https://www.nairaland.com/7597987/presidential-election-tinubus-victory-act

The government or those in this government are not sincere about ending petrol import.

The day Nigeria end total import then the government has no other excuse to make in meeting finacial obligations.

NNPC should be sold as soon as possible and those criminals there be discharged.

Beautiful woman

Salewa97:
The idea of hiring mercenaries is a good one but the cost of doing that would be expensive.

Our soldiers are doing well, they just need more support financially and logistics wise

With communities being overrun by bandits in the north? I don't think they are doing well.
Let them try hiring mercenaries from outside to manage the whole process for 6 months.

Lets compare the difference

tutudesz:
No Obj is to blame, he had the opportunity to deal with corruption and other things affecting us today. In terms of economy growth, security he tried, education,
infrastructure, health care and corruption he failed.

That means if Buhari comes back again or if tinubu stand again you guys will vote for any of them... Hunger haven't done enough.... Infact the suffering should increase times 5...

I just feel for the innocent in thr society who never supported this failures

tutudesz:
He was!
He had the opportunity to change to many things and nobody would've said anything. Like the constitution, building new refineries, National carry, etc

You don't know what you are saying. Obasanjo did well for Nigeria. At his tenure primary school teachers were buying cars. Nigeria was on a path of progress. Only few Nigerians were interested in travelling out.

The problem we faced today started showing it urgly head during Buhari regime. Although i will blame Jonathan for his reckless handling of the economy in regards to saving and how he allowed the reserve to fall.

But Buhari and Tinubu are largely to be blame for what Nigerians are going through.

tutudesz:
Any political office holder since independence are failure in history whether elected or military, they are failure's and history will remember them has that.
60 years of oil revenue have destroyed other sectors, to the point were agriculture can't do with oil revenue Imagine a country with good land and man power to grow anything, depending on importation
Tinubu, Atiku, Obi, Jonathan, Obj, etc are all to blame

Obasanjo was not a failure... Appreciate him..
Someone that saved over 70 billion dollars and also paid over 18 billion to paris club?

I will remember this thread this weekend when i go to market here to buy fish. I will snap it n post

Thieves.. Obasanjo was able to saved 70 billion dollars (50 billion reserve and 20 billion excess crude oil fund) and also paid 18 billion debt to Paris club.


Ever since APC came on board it's been massive borrowing and they can't save anything and there had been imbalance in the fx market
