Travel / Re: Should I Keep My Federal Job Or Travel to the U.K by mechoau(m): 4:34pm On Jan 03
mistacoco2:
Hello guys,

For some days now I have been on a serious dilemma whether to resign from my federal government job that pays me above N200k for my current position and migrate to the UK or stay in naija and set up a business to augment my salary. I will be 34 years next year, I feel traveling to the uk for studies next year September will delay my chances of getting married, as I have planned not exceeding 34 years without getting married.

I belong to the school of thought that believes can make it in Nigeria despite all odds. However, considering the economic realities of the country, I have recently contemplating of japa and maybe get a Nigerian lady for marriage after my studies.

Please I earnestly need matured advice from you guys to know how to start the coming year.

Cc:Justwise

If you have the resources, i would advise you to leave that 200k you said is my daily pay if converted to naira. Do the maths, let’s say i work a long day shift 7:30-9:00pm, i.e 13hrs :30mins @ the rate of £11.50 per hr this gives £155.25 then multiply ( convert ) to current rate let’s even say 1540naira to £1, that gives you 239,085 naira.


Note: this is not even Saturday rate or Sunday rate where the rate is double pay( x2)i.e £23 per hr if you work in Stockport

I haven’t earned closer to 30,000,000 naira when i was in naija but i was able to saved here even after tax, house rent and after my bringing my partner to uk .

I also completed my school fee, got myself iPhone 14 Pro Max, i got one got my wife, and my brother, i was able to spend millions bringing my woman over.

There are opportunities here irrespective of bills and after tax. My advice is if you have the opportunity/ resources please leave.

I came here oct 2022 with just £135 but to God be the glory i am over thousand of thousands in pounds at the end of December 2023. If not for privacy and security reasons, i would have posted my account balance here for evidence. I didn’t say all these to brag but pls if anyone has the resources to leave pls do.

How much salary can i earn to be able to save up to over 22,000,000 naira ( £15,600) in a year? No matter how they tax you, you will always have enough at the end of the month if converted to naira

Education / Re: An Assistant Lecturer Salary In A Federal University by mechoau(m): 12:03pm On Dec 22, 2023
dawnomike:
This is way far lesser than some people's PAYE tax

My tax combined with my NÍ after deduction is 6 times higher than this if converted to naira. Imagine paying between £600-£1100 monthly. I never regret my decision coming here

You are just being aggressive over nothing and all these your bragging wont do you good considering that you work minimum wage in the uk. and btw their is nothing bad in doing that... having a Schengen visa is not a flex, maybe to you it is an achievement but to me it is not. having a visa is a flex to poor people in Nigeria.

Don't think everybody is a poor in Nigeria, just because you went to the UK, and just because you did not achieve your dream in Nigeria does not mean people are not achieving theirs in Nigeria. i am 100% sure you are the type of person that think he earns more than a branch manager or bank CEO in Nigeria after converting pound to Naira. Haha. The reason you love to change your pounds to Naira after every pay is to intimidate ignorant people here and also to feel like you have achieve something even though you earn low and live in the UK

i don't live in Banana island but you cant afford to live in banana island, do not think because you work minimum wage job in the Uk that means you have arrived or that you can suddenly afford to buy a land or rent a house in banana island, no you cant, wake up from your dream.

You are still poor in the UK considering standard of living and also considering the fact that your annual salary isn't up to the national average. You don't have to disclose the area you live in Manchester but your rent and slip has already done the talking for you and the OP is right.(you haven't remove rent, feeding, council tax and gas bill). You pay very low rent in Manchester and it says a lot about your situation and here you are talking about class and type.. that is insanely ridiculous.

I am not trying to be rude, but stop trying to be rude just because you are in the UK doing care work and over time.





You haven’t answered my question, how much do you earn weekly and monthly? Then show us proof of this? And I’ll take you serious. My one week pay will feed you and feed your 1yr salary

I am not dumb and i just telling you the truth with the info you provided

There is nothing bad in working 2 or 3 jobs to meet up with the bills

The slip you posted give us a bigger picture of your economic situation, also your rent also give a bigger picture of the area you live, it is obvious that you aren't living in a major city in the UK.




Now i have finally come to a point that you are pained and i doubt you have ever travelled out of Nigeria? So Bcus i pay low rent makes you concluded shallow with little brain?? I live around the city dude and i live in Manchester. I wont necessarily disclose my area In Manchester. Sebi you earn more than me and you live in banana island and i strongly believe you earn 3-4million monthly abi? Have heard you.. you ain’t my type or class to exchange word with.

If you believe that you earn more in Nigeria than uk no problem.. you shaa can’t drag my money with me? And you can’t grab my Schengen visa which i have just got from me with the same opportunity in Uk.. i wish you best in your endeavors

If you have to work 2 jobs, long hours and take extra times that means your salary isn't enough for upkeep and it also means that you are struggling.

People who earn well in the uk don't work 2 jobs.

See poor boy mentality, sebi you are the one earning much abi? I won’t like to waste my time engaging words with you. Let me leave you to die in silent hunger.

My first job with the council pays me 2,470 monthly and it’s just 35hrs weekly, two long( 7:30-9pm) days and half day ( 2pm-9pm).

So if i have 4 off days, you expect me to just sleep inside house doing nothing when i can pick / do extra 20hrs and get paid.

Your mentality is of first grade

Person wey no get sense make him Dey analyze rubbish, if not for security reason i would have uploaded my payslip here and upload my house rent for him to see how much i earn weekly alone not to mention monthly ….

How many average Nigerians earn between 400,000 -1,000,000naira weekly? At least average guys earns £400 upward weekly depends on one strength? If you can work 8hrs daily or more than

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 grin

As i am typing like this, i am at work in Stockport, my shift is 7:00- 22:00pm which is 15hrs and the nature of the job is support work, just sitting down after morning personal care with just four (4) citizen and we are just 3 staff on duty.

Do you know how much today pay is? During the week, the pay is £10.90 and on Sunday it’s double pay in Stockport, now today pay is £21.80 per hour, now do your maths

15hours multiply by £21.80= £327 for today. Please convert this to Nigeria and how much is that in naira? Keep deceiving yourself with your poor idea.

I earn above £2500 monthly and my shared rent monthly is just £320 with bills. Just keep deceiving yourself


For proof, i have attached one of my old payslip to show per rate so you won’t think I’m just bragging with lies. Now i worked yesterday long day, worked today and I’m still working tomorrow…


Note: my permanent job pay 14:80 per hr so wise up

Truth is many people would say it's not cool dating someone in once work place . Truth is it's not cool yet it happens a lot . As a matter of fact most of these ladies throw themselves on you expecially if u are good looking!

Just as I came back from leave i met this lady who was just been employed, she came to introduce herself to me I knew she was married, then not up to 2months I noticed she was a hitting on me from one compliment to a other,
Well we exchanged digit started chatting often then it became more erotic, I brought up the idea she was like giving me a thousand and one excuses why it would not be possible
In fact she told me it was a taboo in her culture, however we kept exchanging errotic test she even sent me her nxxdes
I remember on one occasion she told me she normally get wet each time we chat!! I knew we needed to settle the sekxual tension some how

I brought up the idea of getting a hotel she was like no it's not possible, I kept my cool after about a month she told me I should get an hoetel
We met at the hotel I new this might be a one time fling so I made sure I had my camera in case
I was even sucking her b**b wen her hubby called this lady claimed she was on her way to the market wow ,all the while I was fingering and sucking on her juugs

I ba*Ng her so good with lots of tonging .2week later we had a disagreement I quickly blocked her even though we work in same office I gave her the distance to avoid stories that touch cos she was becoming possessive I can't even have discussion with any other lady in the office it would be like what are u telling her?
Yes I spent on her bf I laid her I have no regrets she felt she could play a smart one on me I was the smarter on code

Your Education is nothing but a wasted effort if you can't express yourself in basic simple sentence. Why not use pidgin if english is too difficult for you??

U are trying hard to throw a punch...but sadly..it doesn't hurt me...im not the one sterling rejected... still, I'm entitled to an opinion that ielts is exploitative...

Can we all let this go? This is to clarify that I didn’t get refused Bcus of ielts. The Letter I presented was accepted by Stirling but i was rejected Bcus my study gap is more than 5yrs meaning if my BSc was below 5yrs, I would have been considered for unconditional offer.

I met someone on this forum who submitted the same letter during her application and they never asked her for ielts Bcus her study gap was less than 5yrs
