I'm posting this as a response to the topic that made Nairaland front page yesterday; "See What Someone Bought With An Hour Minimum Wage In The UK £10", the link: https://www.nairaland.com/7929193/see-what-someone-bought-hour

UK & US ARE OVER-RATED NIGERIA IS STILL BETTER in terms of cost of living see a practical example why doing a price comparison: 1 pound to 1 naira today is N1,001 so are you saying with £10 x N1,001 = N10,001 you cannot buy everything in that basket and collect change in Nigeria today?

1 Sliced Bread = N800
2 Spaghetti = N1400
1 Gesha = N600
1 live chicken = N3,000
1 75cl soya Oil = N1,400
1 Midium size Butter = N600
2 Gino Tomato paste = N1,000

Total = N8,800 so your change is N1,200 that's if you exchange pound to naira at offical rate and buying at the most expensive stores or high brands. If you exchange at black market rate and buy at public market "days" you will collect as much as N6,000 after buying everything in that basket....that's about £6 left.

LET'S JUST THANK GOD FOR WHAT WE HAVE AND STOP LOOKING AT AND GLORIFYING ANOTHER MAN'S LAND MORE THAN OUR OWN....OUR OWN NA OUR OWN O

40 hrs per week x 4 = 160hrs in a month

N50,000/160 hrs in a month = N312.50k per hour.

Now show us what N312.50k can but you in a supermarket.

Comparatively, £10 is equivalent to someone's approximated weekly salary in Nigeria.

History is good.

But of what significant importance is this information? Will Benin start collecting taxes from Lagos with this information or just for bragging rights?

Are there any hidden benefit's for sitting behind at a gathering, especially in a church.
Its quite baffling to see people who on a daily basis make prophetic declarations like, 'i am the head and not the tail",
" i shall be a leader in my generation" but, when they get to church they run away from the front row seats lol. How do you lead from the back?
.
Which begs the question,
" why do people like sitting behind ?

/
God is everywhere.

Right?

How a spirit (God) needs physical money still baffles me.

How a spirit will live in a mansion made of gold still double-baffles me.

/

/
Funny indeed.

How can someone selling chicken be canvasing for fish as the alternative source of protein?

When a shitty place like Nigeria is leading Africa, it means that there is no hope for the continent in the next 100 years. Imagine Nigeria as the supposed giant of Africa has a GDP of $440 billion while California (one of the 50 States in USA) has a GDP of $3.5 trillion -- that is 8x more than Nigeria.

The fence, gate and fence rails are getting our attention here..........

Any plug for who did this windows and balcony in Anambra/Enugu area?

/

spyder880:
Thank you very much for this honest feedback. I know the owner of the house is reading this and if he asks us to make the change, we will at no extra cost as we are still on site. Thanks.

/

Actually I prefer it the way it is. It goes with the roof and grooves. There is no colour riot 💯

I just read a post on romance section and it got me wondering if a school cert holder can be said to be educated .

/
YES!

Education has to do with learning that's why it is divided into formal (structured school) and informal (others).

However, Nigerians are known to misuse the term just as much as they misuse "illiterate--inability to read or write"

/

/
This is good news. Since Nigeria cannot change by revolution, let Natural Selection reduce the number of unproductive people
in that contraption. I am sure the quacks left in the hospitals will do the needful. Let those who believe evil will favour them and
families keep living in delusion until one Nurse Eliza injects them with the wrong dosage or medications.
Too many morons breathing free air and polluting the intelligence of others.

DomPerignon:
International oil companies are being deliberately cut out of the international finance sector courtesy of one man's satanic policy to plunge the earth into global economic and financial chaos.

Economic Sustainable Goals was drafted by one man - Larry Fink who heads BlackRock Group.

BlackRock owns virtually every international corporation.

IOCs are no longer being financed by BlackRock owned banks citing climate change initiative.

They don't care about the climate, they just want to see an explosion in energy prices that will put the entire globe on its needs.

High energy cost translates to high food costs.

This is their grand plan in depopulating the world through an ochestrated man made global famine.

Oil is a vital component in agriculture . From fertilizers, to diesel powered tractors, pesticides to transporting and storage of food produce.

A major war is being waged on the world towards creating an impoverished, malnourished and heavily culled population so as to make the transition to global corporate statehood under the WEF complete.

The war in Ukraine is all coming from BlackRock
As it not only has seen to sanctions on Russian fertilizers and oil but also grain exports from both Ukraine and Russia .

BlackRock has since taken ownership of Ukraine and the war was not only to depopulate Ukraine but to take over its fertile lands and from there plant GMO crops.

Who are you?

Let's add two more names: Vanguard and State Street.

Our people lack thinking faculty.
Granted the building have been erected.
What are the alternatives? Is there an alternative way to channel the drainage?

Option 1: Find alternative channel and pass the cost to defaulters.
Option 2: If Option 1 doesn't work, then demolish.

But at least present the Options.

Ghana Must Go bag?

I guess there is no official name for the bag.

If you build, they must come.

As a Christian, I think some Christians can take things to the extreme at times sha!

Christians? They are church-goers who don't even read the Bible.

Lamanii22:
So guys, my sister met a man like a year ago that is divorced, right now he wants them to take it to another level, like wedding level…. My sister is a single mother though, educated, working class, successful…. But my mom doesn’t agree to it, she’s only seeing the bad side…


So I would like to know if there’s anyone who has gotten married to a divorced man before.. I would also like to know the pros and cons…

This said man has been truthful so far though…

Waiting for comments! Thank you…

/

Your family should be doing "Thanksgiving" that a man has the balls to marry your sister who is a single mother. Your mother is delusional. So your sister is not old enough to decide what's good for herself? By hypocritical marital standard, the man and your sister are both damaged products. It is shocking that one part is judging the other. By the way, is it divorce that people are handing out in Nigeria like candies these days that you are talking about?

This is the sample collection kit for £4.99

Then you send it in for laboratory analysis for £99.

It is clearly stated in the package

If DNA test results have positive impacts on women's affairs, WHO would have subsidized and provided the kits for free. But men are always indifferent to their own special interests.

I love her but I want my own children, I have seen the kind of stress my elder brother has been through cos of trying for a child, I won't wish it on my enemy.
Besides, I dont want the only 2 children in the family struggling to have children.

/
You love her now. Will you love her this much 5 years from now?

There are better people out there but right now she is the best you think you can do.
When most people got their first heartbreak, they thought it was the end.
Then years down the line, they look back and smile.

Go for what you want and take emotions out of it.

Marriage is not friendship.

Draslo:
This is not for me. My sister na church worker

My guy's sister is nothing you write home about. Their father has money, like 3 Rolls-Royce parked in the compound type of rich but the girl is very promiscuous. Many big boys on the island have had a fling because she must attend every raving bash. Her SM pages are full of filth in different countries. You'd easily call her online olosho sponsored by politicians. Her friends are worse cos they don't come from that kind of money. This girl is just 23 and already a red flag amongst guys. Even guys that have never seen her unclothedness will claim to have slept with her and people will believe as long as the guy has class.

My guy is getting married in January and doesn't want his only sister there. Can she still be saved?

/
She will get married soon.
With the level of poverty in Nigeria and the level of wealth in her family, one mugu will propose with eyes on easy life. But expect lamentations on social media as soon as all his pipe dreams crash--no peace at home, no wealth to inherit and an overtly promiscuous wife. Oh well.

Matinox:
This evening I took a reflection on what my wife has gone through in our small marital journey, my heart swirled up with gratitude, I felt like to call my mum and tell her thank you again.

Women are built different!

I just had a baby, I was in the labour room and boy o boy!
The female body is a work of art!

I considered the pains they go through...
My wife for instance, after marriage, sex was a huge desert to cross, it was her first time, she would cry countless times, by the time we crossed that hurdle, she took in, pregnancy came with its own shenanigans!

This thread isn't about my wife, but to all honest women out there, God bless your efforts.

First sex - Pain
Pregnant - Pain
Delivery - Pain
First Breast feeding - Intense pain
Resume sex after child birth - Pain
Wean your baby - Pain

Life for you all is like an art gallery, you all fit into many descriptions. God bless you all.

My mum & wife inclusive!

/
Give it 5 years first. Don't start singing praises too soon.

gabazin080:
be careful of what you wished for. military is worse than the worst democracy government

Nigerian politicians have sold you this farce to cage your brain and you keep regurgitating it.

All these small children sef!

Well our job as elders is to pass down history to the young ones.

Okada is named after Okada Air (a defunct airline owned by Chief Igbinedion from Okada Town in Edo State)

Why Okada? It was a way to glorify it just as many folks today say that they have "legedez Benz".

1. Breastfeeding.

2. How did people survive back in the days when diapers were not en vogue?

He is not serious at all.

One can learn from experience or the mistakes of others.

The many people that left Lagos did so on their own volition.

MisterGrace:
The problem is Yahaya Bello. The past administrations did very well to fix these things and got things working well.

But this guy called Bello is a big disaster.

/
Yahaya Bello will come and clean the hostels abi?

Is the school any different from other public universities in Nigeria?

/

/
First date is like a "meet and greet" to have a feel for each other.

At what point will a lady end up in a man's house on a first date

/

/
Pennywise pound foolish.
Oh now he wants to negotiate and pay FHA.

He had N300 million to build a mansion but couldn't pay about N200k for a trained eye to do proper investigation of the swamp before purchase.

Oh well...

GanagiBitrus:
So we can not perform toxicology here in Nigeria.

At end of the day after spending millions, nothing will still come out of all these charade.

/
Our education is no more for learning but to acquire paper certificates.
/

/
It seems like a good alternative but the problem is that you can't win in Nigeria. Once the awareness is created and people convert their vehicles to run on CNG, the government will come up with one excuse to jack up the price of CNG.

lanre316:
If you spend more than 1,000,000 naira on Apple products and you have less than 1,000,000 naira worth of Apple shares or any other income generating assets, you are very foolish. This is not an insult. It's a statement of fact.

I believe in the concept of separate but equal.

Stay in your country and I stay in mine.

We can travel for business/pleasure on a restricted visa. But total migration en mass? Hell No!
