Whats the essence of the exchange rate favouring diaspora people when everyone else is suffering?

I am just scared of what will happen if the plastic measures wear off

I hope it wont be problem pro max

It will wear off. Measures were taken to douse the tension in recent times.

This has nothing to do with black people or Nigerians. People argue nonsense and allow their egos push them into d**k measuring contests all the time whether that’s based on income or other things. It’s definitely a human thing and not racial.

If you constantly come across this among black people you interact with, it’s a reflection of your circle and not a valid basis to generalize.

You can't help but meet these kind of people in whatever circle. Either yours or any. Haven't hanged out in a long time, but when i got an invite to and a lot of discussions were laid on the table ranging from football, politics here and back home, standard of living here and there down to this particular one which i had no power to really control after chipping in my 2cents cos both have obviously hanged out together more often than me, i called it a night and went home. Pondering about what went down with such level of comparison after i got home, decided to post it here to hear what people have to say. But one (let me hold it in, no curse words) decide to say I'm daft for bringing it here. Omo!!!

Comparison they say is the thief of joy. Figures will always be relative as what is decent pay for friend A might not be for friend B owing to several factors( lifestyle choices, location, family size, future plans etc) that are peculiar to each of them. They both should learn to be circumspect and enjoy their respective "decent pay" while putting in the work to better themselves so complacency does not set in.

I waded in and ask they stop the comparison. When it wasn't looking like they'd drop the discussion, booked an uber and left. The best i could do at that moment. But someone who wasn't there, called me daft for bring such here when this could be something that's mostly common among people (comparison) and we could all learn from not pressuring ourselves with such. Is it not this thread someone ran to for help about him not earning much in his job and we all encouraged him ? There might be people who silently go through this. Nuff said sha. But e pain me say them call me daft, i have the perfect reply for that, but i won't derail the purpose of this thread by going down that low.

These are the kind of nonsense I am sorry to say you see black people (especially daft headed Nigerians) arguing about.

I see three unintelligent people in that gathering: the construction guy for not being able to empathize, the health care assistant guy allowing himself to be drawn into such an argument when the best line of action would be to ignore and lastly you for bringing such question here.

My reply is harsh and maybe unnecessary but it's the truth.

You called me daft ni sha.....naaaaaaa, i won't be drawn into a contest with you on your harsh statement atleast to give some sanity to this thread. But watch your words when responding to people's post. You were not forced to comment or respond. So act maturely. If it doesn't suit you, walk past it.

Wahala wahala wahala....

Out with a couple of friends, one of the guys works as a health care assistant. Moved into the uk in 2022 as a dependant. Currently earns £1605 or thereabout as take home pay after tax. Due to child care, he couldn't work more hours, said this is the reason he's earning such doing his 40hrs a week and claimed he is comfortable as his wife earns almost same too being the main applicant sponsored.

The wahala there is that, another bobo that works in construction blatantly told him, that is not a decent pay despite him covering 40hrs shift a week. Na so kasala burst o! Clash of egos, ironically, both of them just entered same time. Construction oga said he earns above £2k after tax. Told them even £1500 after tax is a decent pay, but the arguements is now causing a scene. I don book uber leave them. Our new entrants should take it easy.

justwise:


Usually before your current contract expires they will email you to offer you a new deal or notification about changes in contract, If they haven't contacted you then call them to ask about renewing your contract, they will give you options available, if you don't like any of them tell them that you will not be renewing at the end of your contract. That is when the negotiation will start,
Don't give up until you get what you want or close to that.

Awesome

There was no setup cost as I was renewing expired contract. When my contract expired they increased the monthly payment I decided not to renew it at that time and got mobile broadband from another provider. That did not work out then I came back to Talktalk to renegotiate and this time around I was given a better deal

How did you go about this renegotiation ? I intend to do that with them too
