That averages N600 daily by that range.

The price of bread at Tesco supermarket in Manchester, is the same as Tesco supermarket in London.

Ironically, Nigerian food is cheaper in London in comparison to other places I have lived in the UK. I also bulk purchase yam, potatoes, tomatoes, pepper, apples, avocado,onions, plantain, fresh vegetables, bananas, oranges, grapes etc from open markets here in London
Uk imports most of its food, they cant grow anything in the winter, and vegetables and fresh produce cannot be stored for long. Food is cheaper in Nigeria. If you dont live in the big cities and you dont mind eating whats in season.Yam in season is affordable in the small towns (not lagos and abuja)
Naija food is cheaper in london because the flights come into gatwick, heathrow, luton everyday from all over the world.
London is good to come to when you are young and strong. If you can go to London at 16years instead of going to university and your work for Ten years straight. If you invest your money in blue-chip stocks. You can go back to Nigeria and live comfortably for the rest of your life.

If you are using London as comparison then use Lagos for Nigeria.

If you must use Kaduna then compare it with cities like Liverpool with cheaper rent, where £300 gets one a room in a shared house, bills inclusive. Go to spareroom.co.uk, there are also £600 rooms in London, utilities bills inclusive.

By the way, monthly bus & tram pass in London is £94.90.

Unlimmited calls, texts and nternet subscription to phone is less than £25 monthly and WiFi connection in most houses is part of the rent.

The £1,640 is after deductions, not gross pay for someone working 40hrs per week.

So N600 can take care of an adult feeding well in a day, in Kaduna?
Groceries £200 - £300 ₦15,000 - ₦20,000 London groceries take a bigger share of income due to higher costs.
I never said 600Naira,i pasted it again 15k-20k, bulk purchase from the market on market days. No supermarket shopping, all organic food, fresh from the farm by the local farmers, you buy whats in season.

Starting salary 1600 pounds, for how long do you want to live in a single room as a grown man ? Do you know what it takes to move from monthly salary of 1600 pounds to 2600pounds. 99% of JAPA dont get that salary incerement. Unless you go back to school to get a certificate.
After 20 years you might not even have 20k pounds savings.
I am not knocking living abroad. But dont make it out to be a bed of roses. I have lived in Manchester, London and New york.

A minimum wage earner who is single and working 40hrs werkly can have a take home pay of £1,640 monthly.

He gets a £500 per month room in a shared house, bills inclusive.

£640 for his/her other expenditures, having a monthly savings of £500.

Now calculate for the minimum wage earner of N80,000 in Nigeria who is also single.🤔
Below is the updated comparison table that includes Tax and National Insurance (NI) deductions for London’s income of £1,640 monthly alongside Kaduna’s ₦80,000 monthly income.

Category London (£1,640) Kaduna (₦80,000) Observations
Gross Monthly Income £1,640 ₦80,000 Gross income before any deductions or spending.
Tax & NI ~£300 - £350 ₦0 UK income below ~£12,570/year is tax-free, but NI starts at ~£12,570. Nigeria imposes minimal tax.
Net Monthly Income £1,290 - £1,340 ₦80,000 London income drops ~18-21% due to tax and NI; Kaduna income remains unchanged.
Monthly Rent (Room) £800 - £1,000 ₦30,000 - ₦50,000 Rent in London consumes 60%-75% of net income; Kaduna rent uses 37%-62% of total income.
Utilities (Electricity, Water, etc.) £150 - £200 ₦10,000 - ₦15,000 London utilities remain costly; Kaduna has much lower utility expenses.
Groceries £200 - £300 ₦15,000 - ₦20,000 London groceries take a bigger share of income due to higher costs.
Transportation £150 - £250 ₦10,000 - ₦15,000 Public transport costs are higher in London. Kaduna’s public transport is far more affordable.
Healthcare & Insurance £150 - £200 ₦5,000 - ₦10,000 Healthcare costs are unavoidable in London due to insurance/private services; Kaduna is cheaper.
Internet & Phone £40 - £60 ₦8,000 - ₦12,000 Internet and phone services remain far cheaper in Kaduna.
Entertainment £100 - £150 ₦5,000 - ₦10,000 London entertainment costs significantly more due to lifestyle and city pricing.
Miscellaneous £50 - £80 ₦5,000 - ₦10,000 Unexpected expenses are notably higher in London.
Savings Potential £0 - £50 ~₦5,000 - ₦15,000 Savings are minimal in London, but Kaduna allows for some flexibility.

Key Adjustments with Tax and NI
1. UK Tax and NI Impact:
• At £1,640 monthly (~£19,680 annually), the UK applies:
• Personal Allowance: First £12,570 tax-free.
• Basic Rate (20%): Remaining income above £12,570 taxed.
• National Insurance: Kicks in above ~£12,570.
• Effective deductions bring take-home pay down to £1,290 - £1,340 monthly.
2. Kaduna Context:
• Nigeria’s taxation on ₦80,000 income is negligible for most individuals.
• No mandatory deductions like National Insurance.

Insights
• After tax and NI, London’s disposable income shrinks, pushing financial stress higher.
• Kaduna offers a higher proportional purchasing power with minimal deductions, allowing for a modest but potentially sustainable lifestyle.

She can ask them to send 'alerts' to the accounts of ordinary Nigerians, ie BLESS ordinary Nigerians with mass electronic cash transfers.

Kemi Badenoch has repeatedly been exposed as a toxic, hostile workplace bully, with multiple former staff reporting her abusive behavior. It’s no surprise that her bullying tendencies have finally met their match with Nigerians, who will undoubtedly put her in her place and cut her down to size.

In August 2024, HR Newspaper (London newspaper) revealed that three staff members quit their jobs due to Kemi’s relentless bullying and unbearable toxicity. Her reputation for being impossible to work with speaks volumes, and it’s about time someone held her accountable.

Do you know how toxic someone needs to be for you to quit your source of livelihood ?

But UK is where many Nigerian political leaders stash their stolen public funds, where many come over for their healthcare needs while not investing in quality healthcare facilitiesin Nigeria, their children attend high paying school fees and live large in the UK.

You can't compare the percentage of those sleeping rough in the UK to that of Nigeria.

Feeding is way cheaper in the UK when compared to Nigeria
Why does the corrupt uk accept the stolen public funds ? If they are not conniving with the buyers of these properties, they would repatriate the monies and hospitals and schools will be built.
Kemi cannot take the moral high ground knowing fully well the UK is complicit with the financial crimes carried out in Nigeria.
Feeding is not cheaper in the UK, its "more affordable"....difference is if you buy bananas for 3 pounds in uk and buy 6000 naira banana in Nigeria, the one in Nigeria will be more (ie is cheaper). I hope you now know the difference
PoliticsDefending Nigeria’s Dignity: Holders Of National Honors To Take A Stand by MaiDeribe(op): 1:32am On Dec 17, 2024
Nigeria’s Image Under Attack

In today’s hyper-connected world of social media, narratives spread like wildfire. One tweet, one comment, or one ill-informed statement can travel across continents, tarnishing reputations and reducing years of hard work to ashes. Nigeria, as a nation, is currently under attack—not from external forces, but from voices like Kemi’s, individuals who wield their platforms irresponsibly to demean the country.

The danger here isn’t just her words—it’s the silence of those who should be speaking up to defend Nigeria’s honor. The holders of national honors, esteemed figures entrusted with Nigeria’s pride, cannot afford to remain spectators when the image of the nation is dragged through the mud.

Why Silence is Dangerous
• Narratives Stick: In the digital age, perception is reality. If lies, half-truths, or harmful narratives about Nigeria are not immediately challenged, they begin to sound like the truth. By the time facts arrive, the damage is already done. A story repeated often enough will be believed, regardless of its veracity.
• An Attack on One is an Attack on All: Kemi’s denigration of Nigeria isn’t aimed at a singular leader, policy, or institution—it’s a stain on every citizen, every Nigerian passport holder, and every stakeholder who takes pride in this nation. Our collective silence allows her words to fester and embolden others.
Global Perception Matters: Nigeria has long battled unjust stereotypes. Any unchecked attack only adds to the misinformed global perception. It’s a collective duty to push back against such harmful narratives.

The Role of National Honor Holders

Holders of Nigeria’s national honors—titles like GCON, CON, CFR, and OON—are not mere recipients of awards. These honors come with the responsibility to uphold the country’s dignity. Silence in the face of blatant disrespect sends the wrong message: that the nation’s pride is negotiable.
• These individuals represent excellence, achievement, and leadership across various fields. Their voices carry weight and credibility.
When national pride is at stake, their intervention becomes a necessity, not a choice. Issuing statements, holding intellectual debates, and presenting facts can dismantle harmful rhetoric and turn the tide in Nigeria’s favor.

Where are these voices now? Why have they not spoken to counter Kemi’s slander and remind the world of Nigeria’s value, progress, and resilience?

Fighting Back Doesn’t Mean Overreacting

Challenging harmful narratives doesn’t mean stooping to the level of mudslinging or emotional outbursts. It means presenting facts, exposing hypocrisy, and correcting misinformation with calm confidence. If someone spreads a narrative that diminishes the country, those entrusted with honor and leadership must step in to defend it.
• Silence equals surrender.
• Diplomacy equals strength.
• Countering falsehoods equals protecting our future.

National Unity: This Is Our Fight

Every Nigerian, not just the Vice President or officeholders, must realize that this is a collective battle. National honor is not a personal affair—it’s shared by all of us. If someone insults your family, you don’t offer them tea. You correct their disrespect.

The holders of national honors are Nigeria’s most respected sons and daughters. Their failure to defend the country sets a precedent of apathy. If they won’t speak up, who will?

The Time to Speak is Now

In this globalized era of instant communication, words have power. Nigeria cannot afford to leave its image unguarded. The holders of national honors must issue statements, set the record straight, and defend the country they have been recognized for serving.

As the saying goes, “If you don’t tell your story, someone else will—and they won’t tell it well.” Kemi’s irresponsible actions should serve as a wake-up call. Defending Nigeria’s pride is not optional; it’s a duty. An attack on one is an attack on all—and it’s time to respond.
