sukkot: yeah thats not me. i need freedom. money is freedom. if i wake up today and feel like being in bali i want to be able to be there. if i want to be n venezuela today i want to be able to do it. i need that freedom that excess money brings. the UK is a trap. no freedom. you are trapped in a hamster wheel cycle of work and bills, .THATS NEVER BEING FOR ME. i hate prison ( invisble prison walls ) Then why not leave and enjoy tax-free freedom in Nigeria? And when in Nigeria, make sure you settle in the 'cheaper' states like Gombe, Jigawa, Kogi... Nigeria is even expensive. I heard Niger and Central African Republic are much cheaper |

sukkot: TOO MUCH VAWULENCE . anyway you know to say that you are a high income earner in the UK MEANS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. because high income earner in the UK starts at 40k per annum but truly 40k is nothing after they remove tax and rent and council tax etc etc. and speaking of basic amenties in the UK to be honest with you unless you are just a sickler who needs the NHS all the time,, i dont see any special basic amenities in the UK. as per 300 per clothes weekly you cant understand it because you dont have 4 growing children who need to upgrade school unform and house clothes and pajamas all the time. E GET WHY OYINBO PEOPLE DEY ONLY BORN 1 PIKIN, ITS NOT BECAUSE THEY DONT LIKE CHLDREN, CHLDREN ARE EXPENSIVE N THE UK. as per the MOT alright a slight exagerration but its only a 9 pound exaggeriation. 9 pounds is nothing. also consider the tv license a slight exagerration. however keep in mind i didnt even mention income tax and phone line for 4 children and so that guy wth his 4 kids in order to be slightly above poverty line has to earn before taxes about 1500 pounds a week aka 6000 a month aka 4.8 million naira a month. if he earns less than this ? he is in the poverty category and it will be a life of struggles The income data for the UK is widely available. Tell me what percentage of UK families earn upto 6k before tax? Then also tell me the poverty rate in Nigeria and the UK. I have lived both worlds and know which I'd chose. I would avoid details but having over 65% of your eventual takehome taxed at a rate of 40% or above is significant. The travel from high birth rate, high death rate to low birth rate, low death rate is one that's well documented world over. The reason why raising kids is considered expensive in most western nations boild down to the cost of child care or missed income if parents tend fully themselves. Food, clothing e.t.c are not first world problems. If you're working in the UK and struggling with clothing, you should be asking yourself serious questions. I and family wear largely branded items and I know how much is spent on clothing. Budgeting £15.6k pa on clothing for an average family is senseless. Aside labour and accommodation, virtually every other expensive is relatively much more cheaper in the UK than in Nigeria. Virtually everything on your list was extremely exagerrated

sukkot: and the bolded is what differentiates me and other people like me from you. i dont just want to live a good life and have Zero In my bank account. i want to thrive and have millions of dollars in my bank account. and thats why i dont like the UK. IT IS STRUCTURED TO JUST LIVE A SUBSISTENCE LIFE I don't need millions in my bank account without giving my fair share back to make my society livable. I want to lead a sensible life, contribute to society and go when my time comes. The UK is structured in such a way that most are propped up into a reasonable living standard and those who want to go home with loads have to give a good chunk back to society. What is the structure in Nigeria where our senators earn more than the US president? That is the difference between national wealth and individual wealth. I'd rather be a middle income earner in a developed society than a high income earner in a country where millions live on less than 1 usd per day. |

sukkot: negro yu must be crazy. i am mr UK on nairaland. what i dont knw about the UK is not worth knowing. and yes a family of 6 would buy school uniforms and house clothes and wigs and accesories and socks and shoes etc. am not saying they are buying it weekly but i am doing a weekly budget of an annual salary. try to understand. Young lout I am also in the UK, a higher income earner and I pay over 40% of my take home in income tax that's aside roughly 10% in NI and then pensions too. When in Nigeria, I earned good money with less tax but I'd rather I paid a similarly high rate in Nigeria and still had same basic amenities I get in the UK. It is absolutely senseless to budget £300 pw for clothes as a working family. Thats £15.6k pa on clothes for a family trying to keep up. Tell me how you came about your weekly £10 for mot or £30 for TV licence |

MrBrownJay1: its unwise to try to compare what someone makes in Nigeria with what you make in the UK.... here is a simple clue: what you make in Nigeria with 600K, you will need to make no less than £5K weekly in the UK to have the same lifestyle. here is another clue of what i am saying: with the £1k weekly that you make in the UK, you cant remotely think of living comfortably in the best Neighborhood of London.
i am sorry to say that, in London, earning £1K weekly is considered middle class at best....in Nigeria where the minimum salary is 30K, earning 600k monthly (aka 20times the minimum salary), you are rich! This is laughable. Do you know what £5000 is? It looks as if the salaries earned by premier league players confuse many. How much do you think MPs earn? London is London for a reason. It's the financial capital of Europe and attracts money the world over. A £5k pm take home after tax is good money in most parts of the UK |

sukkot: i will advise you as a friend/brother will and then as an enemy.as a friend / brother i will say you are the most unqualified candidate to go abroad. you have 4 kids ? which in itself is not a problem if your name is dangote or otedola but for you ? its a burden that will sink you abroad. secondly you dont have any marketable skillset. and so you are most defnitely going to be doing manual labor or security work. so the question is what right thinking person leaves 600k per month to go and be doing manual labor abroad. i would even go as far as to say you are not even qualified to have a 600k job in nigeria because you said you are a salesperson so basically you are just one lucky bastard ( british slang ) and if i were you i would hold on tight to that job because there are 200 million people who want that job.
back to the abroad thing, someone told you he is making 2 million a month dong security work but did that low iq deceptive guy tell you what the cost of living is ? lets see so 2 million is 2600 pounds a month. thats 650 pounds a week. rent is 250 pounds a week, council tax is 30 pounds, water 50, light 40, tv license 30, feeding of 6 people is like 150 pounds a week, clothes for 6 people is like 300 pounds a week, internet 40 pounds a week, phone line is like 30 pounds a week, with 4 kids you need a car, car insurance is like 40 a week, gas like 40, road tax like 20, mot like 10, so when i add up all these expenses they come to 1030 pounds a week and so you can see that earning 650 pounds a week will not cover your expenses. someone like yu will have to earn 5000 pounds a month in the uk to survive ( thats 4million naira a month you have to earn ) and so your low iq friend is not telling you that the 2 million per month is too small. he is hoping you would think you are living for free with no expenses and all the 2 million is take home..and that is the reality of your situation
conlusion > you are hghly unqualified to go abroad unless you dont mind a life of misery and suffering and manual labor and council estates Where your kids would be beaten up by jamaican thugs everyday. YU BETER HOLD ONTO YOUR 600K JOB
NOW THE ADVICE ABOVE WOULD BE FOR A FRIEND OR BROTHER BUT TO AN ENEMY I WOULD SAY JAPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. GO TO THE UK. YOU WILL ENJOY YA LIFE  It's quite obvious you've not worked in the UK before. The cost for most of those items you listed are laughable. £300 per week for clothes? That's about enough to clothe the family for 6m- 1yr. £10 for MOT? The cost of MOT paid yearly is about £45. I dont know how you got 10. If you know the percentage of familes earning upto 5000 after tax in the UK, you'd stop saying that. If you look thru this thread, most high earners in Nigeria who migrated have consistently said it's most times worth the move if you go thru the right means. One thing to understand is how deveoped countries are structured. In the UK, there are loads of people living on benefits. The system needs folks to work and pay tax. Therefore, the system is structured in a way that with virtually any job you do, if you work reasonably, you should be able to lead a good life. The system needs folks to work so the government does not pay them. In Nigeria, you need to work so you don't die. Hence, the way you look at 'menial' jobs is quite different. A plumber, uber driver e t.c can easily take home more money than some doctors. |

9japple: Bull trap, I almost entered the market yesterday....but that bull trap was so staring me in the face. The TP of a "rubbish fib" I did sometime ago was 25k....so I am close to it and can be persuaded to enter. But my network issues draws some caution on my part Instead of jumping in and out, why not just wait until you see a strong green daily candle with high volume. During selloffs like this, I'm happy to wait for a good bottom... |

Ibime: It would. Institutions have been defending their positions in ETH, also shows that only ETH had real institutional adoption. BTC might buckle as well. 4 touches like you always warned about It looks to have buckled already... the selloff yesterday was a high volume one (the highest so far). Not a good sign it closed below 28k... With alyts beginning to selloff, things are now reaching a crescendo. |

DenreleDave: Ur Luna with strong fundamentals is gone the drain 
Na to turn Terra Luna to Terra pepper I believed in Luna but my concerns were always regulation and depegging... Depegging happened and it came crashing down. Ust was still experimental and showed signs that it could be the first algo stable to go mainstream. It was eating well into the mcap of other stables. All said, I didn't envisage such a rapid crash... but thats crypt0 for you. |

kintus: Waiting for a special capitulation for alts generally may not happen. If you noticed, those coined that pumped well are being attacked and losing value like it's no man's business.
From what I've seen, I think the whales are doing it individually for the alts. Remember FTM? WAVES? Now LUNA....all falling to the pit.
In summary capitulation is happening but in individual terms. Good perspective... there's sure been individual capitulation but doesn't look like the money has gone to bitc0in. After 6 weeks of selling, bitc0in dominance is still quite low... Eith has held strong.... that looks to be the final pillar holding the little boys up.. |

Ibime: Luna has lost retail completely. I don't see any future barring them breaking off from UST, cooling their heels for some months or years and coming back with another angle. Not to mention BeeTee could provide another systemic crisis. Were coming up to price points where Institutions might start bailing. The institution being chewed up now is Luna... folks were forced to sell their bitc0in holdings at a loss I hear sailors holdings has a call price at about 25k. As it's out in the open, that might be another target

Ibime: Luna is going to zero bro
It's an arbitrage paradise
You can buy $1 worth of Luna with 1 UST (currently $0.80)
You then immediately dump the $1 worth of Luna into $1 in USDC, BUSD or USDT = selling pressure
They are just bleeding their marketcap out into USDC, BUSD and USDT
Rinse and repeat, they will be selling LUNA all day and all night for the 20% arbitrage
The only way to stop it dead is to sell their $3bln BTC to restore peg . . . . and it will be attacked again. The bank run has begun...Luna being isolated, others would watch... This might put to bed other algo stables... Selling more of their betece will cause a further market wide crash increasing panic again. Well they sent a chunk of their Bitc0in to binaz.... Bullish chart.. hehe

Hehe... what continues to worry me is that thru this dip, alyts are yet to capitulate... Bitc0in dominance is still modestly low.... Hopefully, 30k holds. A dip below will cause that high volume selloff across board
Depeg of ust + them looking to sell their Bitc0in and Eith reserves at 30k might just be the last straw.... |
