An I am telling you what I know. The non-Nigerians that I know are aware of Davido. They know his music past me.

They also know Burna Boy.

Both artists are huge in their own right.

You do not know anything. You will be shocked how many Nigerian artists that non Nigerians know and this popularity can be attributed to the number of nigerians playing their local music in clubs abroad. However, when it comes to international act Burna songs play regularly on foreign radios just like Edsheran's. I have never even heard Davido or Wizkid songs on the radio.

mmsen:
Huh? Both of them are well known.

Davido is very well known outside of Nigeria. He was doing radio interviews with national media in the States before anyone knew who Burna Boy was. He had songs with Meek Mill when nobody knew who Burna Boy was.

Do you live abroad? I am telling you what I know. Burna is the real deal. The two others are locals.

Angelfrost:
How do you mean?!!

Davido and Wizkid were already recognised internationally before Burna scaled over Naija.

Let's quit glorifying tales that make no sense.

Don't be deceived. When i travel to western countries, I hear Burna on radio not wizkid or Davido. Go to YouTube and check live performances of Burna, you will understand better. David and Wizkid are local champions.

I don't think Davido is in the league of Burna. The latter is a very big name outside Nigeria.

Many city pressing Arsenal even in their lowest form.

Yep so it's a night of 2-0...
Arsenal vs Man City...let's have it...let's have it...use the template 2-0 and boys do it quick so we can go do something meaningful with our evenings...

Arsenal dreaming of beating City. Can't see it happening..

It's a shame what's happening to us. Are happy days gone?

For now, Chelsea lack experience but they have some exciting and credible footballers. Two more season or less, they will be problematic to other team in EPL. Am arsenal fan, Arteta stubbornness to sign a quality striker keep us struggling. What a great performance by Halland. A very good attribute of a striker, nobody for saw today's different pattern of him. World class striker.

Arteta na owner of Arsenal?

Flight

Totally unnecessary. Tinubu won't like the idea...

Calitoscassius:
Yes, economy, i don't need business or first class. 23kg×2 luggages, hand luggage 8kg.





British Air
Depart Heathrow to Abuja, Arrive Abuja, i board local (Aero contractor) to Enugu

Return Lagos to Heathrow.

You can also return through Abuja instead of Lagos The tickets are cheaper if your return date is far.

My returns are ussually after 5 weeks. So with your 8million naira budget I can stay for 3 months in naijeeria. and still have change left. If you doubt it, let me know when you are travelling, i MIGHT meet you in naija teach you how to spend and save in najeeria, 4 million will do for you and I for 1 month expensis.

Or


Luftansa 23kg×2, 8kg hand luggage.
Depart Heathrow, stop over in Germany, final destination Porthacourt next day.

Return same route.


Buy the ticket early before date of travel, it is cheaper, atleast 6 months or 3 months before. some travellers for December 2025 have already bought their tickets this January.. we have been doing this for 25 years now.

I see you travelled from UK. I bet you will ever find that kind of deal £760 anymore that will allow you 2 x 23kg luggage. You can check even for December.

Also, you should also realise that spending isn't the same for everyone. Even the 8 million will be strictly on low budget.

All the same, thanks for your analysis. I understand the message.

Calitoscassius:
Yes, £760 return that was how much i paid last year 2024, buy the ticket 6 months before travel.. British Air. Why would i need to claim i have 2 cars? Okay i don't have 2 cars i ride bicycle. You also claimed your budget is 8 million..


Even if OP stayed in a hotel, it is still expensive. I used to stay in a hotel before i got my house, i still stay in hotel even though i have a house. So i know many hotels and how much they charge. The highest i paid for a hotel Just last year 2024 April was 20,000 naira for one night and i stayed for 14 days.


Which december? 2024? Or 2025? Are you planning to go?

8million is you budget? £8million or naira?


Even if it is 8 million naira it is still too expensive! Unless you are adding the air fare to it, It wouldn't cost me more than 2.5 million with hotel cost excluding air ticket. Without hotel 1.2 million naira maximum.

If you are just going to waste 8 million in Naigeria by all means that is your own problem.


For 8 million i can buy a land and build 2 self con. (2 bedroom and sitting room) on it in Naigeria. Let them out to tenants. This is the business i know very well.


Good luck!

£760 return must be economy light which limits your luggage. Which country did you travel from ?

Calitoscassius:
Your so called expensis are total lies! Absolute lies! I travel to Naigeerian every year, hotel and food cost me 1,2 million maximum and that's for 6 weeks stay. I have my own house and 2 vehicles.

So i only spends on petrol, food, women and drinks. My mother and my step sisters does the cooking in my house. I give them money they go shopping for food, sometimes i drive to shoprite and purchase cartons of beer,wine and whiskey myself.

So your 5.75 million naira spend is a total bullcrap!

I will be down my house again this christmas in Anambra. I guarantee you i will not spend more than 1 million naira for food, petrol, women and drinks.

Flight ticket is £760 return, so your ticket is way expensive, where did you travel from? The moon?

I don't give police money, why should i give police check point money? I am not a criminal, i stop when they tell me to stop, I say hi officer! They say wind down your door windor, i do what they say i don't argue or try to speak big grammar to them to intimidate them, make them look small, or disrespect them, and they say, no wahala move on. Sometimes though i "dash" them few notes not less than 500 naira. I even picked up one police woman forked her on atleast 3 occassions, she was very nice still contacts me on watsaap. At the check points i usually say to them thank you officers for your good work you do keeping us safe, they reply back, you are wellcome "yellow" or sometime they call me "onye ocha" some of them are good.


I don't give money at the airport they already knows me for that, i even managed to invite one of the custom officer woman to my house and forked her. With a bottle of red wine and a full carcase of fried chicken. She say she don't want money, they pay her very well at Lagos international airport

£760 return? Which airline be that? Besides, OP is not in UK. You claim you have 2 cars and your house but that is not same for OP because he stayed in the hotel. I am also planning to go to Naija this December and my budget is around 8 million to cover flight, hotel, food and other expenses.

[quote author=CollinsAsein post=132741225][/quote]Please can you recommend a very good hotel in Lagos within Ikeja axis. Security is the main concern really. Thanks as i prepare for my trip to Nigeria this December.....

Father4all:
It's was because the other former band member castigated him for paying them peanuts. Much respect to the one that call him out

Whatever! At least, he responded. Poor people and their stupid opinion....

nwirinedu:
Which salary? How much is the Salary? Why did one of his loyal staff complain about welfare?

Go for mental evaluation before responding to my questions. You are on the verge of a mental breakdown.

You obviously do not have sense. Have you given your own mother a million naira before? Gather sense and be humble...

Foreign231:
Omo na today I know say Nigerians no like this man. I was at the airport today and Mr president came arojnd boarding to Ghana. We were boarding to Abuja and was already about to take off when we were told Mr president was around and we needed to wait an extra 1hr before taking off. Omo see curses flying everywhere ontop Mr president head. I was surprised at how much people hates to hear the name “Tinubu”.
It’s a pity.
God bless Nigeria

Who God don bless, no man can curse. Man is living his dream....

There is only 1 united!! Interesting days ahead..

nwirinedu:
How can someone stay with you for over 30 years and he is getting only 20m, divide it by 30 years its less than 1m per year.

Now you see why its good to call it quits after working for someone for 5 years.

You people don't have brain at all? Didn't he pay him salary for the 30 years? He is even lucky that he wasn't sacked. 20m as a gift is not a small thing. Please get sense..

CJStarz:
Chai, Obafemi Martins of those years.
Thought man would go far but mehnnn...

So he didn't go far having played for inter and newscastle?

RodgersAkpafu:
ndidibabe is right
When I go buying monthly food supplies for myself
£60 quid is way more than enough. and everywhere go full, and thats the truth.

If u use your sense and mix the non brands with the brands and sensible grocery shopping at Morrisons, there will be so much to carry home

so again, ndidi is right, esp based on my personal experience

Imagine, I even tut with the inflation that people are talking about, 60 quid won't be able to do anything.

ConDawah:
I'm a software engineer. I'm not bound by geography. I'm a Digital Explorer. I've been working for ICT companies in the Baltic states for the past two years. To God be the glory, I can always get foreign jobs that'll pay me well enough to live better than someone earning 40k annually in the UK.

I am a cyber security professional and my first job in Canada was remote based meaning I can operate anywhere from the world. Will I operate from Nigeria to cut cost, No!. So many reasons I can't start to mention....

ConDawah:
It's not a good pay and I'd rather stay in Portugal or in Nigeria and earn half that amount. After tax and insurance deductions, you'll be left with roughly 30k annually. Now, factor in just the cost of accommodations alone from the take home pay.
I lived in the UK for a short while and I'll never live there again unless I earn upwards 60k annually.

The question is how much are you earning in Nigeria?

Fearyourcreator:
Those chemicals you dey eat there, better food is expensive there. Dey lie yourself there

Chemical? Nigerians and mouth..

rock86:
Saving more than 1000 per month? How?

I was doing council job. Mostly sleepover and rate was above 20 p/h.

tpain121:
this idiot Dey uk Dey clean yansh ontop 14 pounds per hour and he is here supporting the evil government .

If you like run go anywhere. As long as you support evil, e no go better for you o.

Evil must be gal you since you love it.

Nigerians and mouth. As u dey follow the guy dey drag now, 28k don touch his aza in the last 1hr. Give or take, he is going to make roughly 250k today. Only God knows your own condition for Nigeria.

MT:
Nigerians and exaggeration.

You will need taxi for 43 pounds food items. You guys can lie ehen.

Soft chicken - 3.99 pounds

Hard chicken - 4.99 pounds

Egg is £2.15 for 15

Inflation has set in in the UK on food items , even the whites are bitterly complaining.

So, which taxi will you need after spending 43 pounds on food items?

At most, with your 43 pounds, you can buy pepper full bag 🤣🤣.

Nigerians and exaggeration. Pathetic!!

There is no exaggeration here. You have listed the price of these stuffs and I can imagine how you won't have a full bag if you b spent all the 43 pounds on these items. If you can carry that to your home depending on your distance, it is then your problem. I never said full taxi but full bag. When i was in UK as a student, iI spent less that 50 pound weekly on provisions in Aldi and the bag was always heavy that I cant walk with it for 10mins. Each time I take a taxi home which was also less than 4 pound.

omoluka:
I don't know what is wrong with Nigerians in UK, they put everything on sm. One of the reasons i am considering moving elsewhere 😕

Na student visa cause am...

Pascal9:
what can it afford in UK, forget it, it's a slave system, how long can you work to buy a house in UK as a 21 pound per hr worker, if you are smart Nigeria is better.

You do not need to buy a house in UK. It all depends on your plan. You boasted about spending 100k on food which is like 43 pound. If you take 43 pound to supermarket in the UK to buy provisions, you will need to get a taxi home if you don't drive because ur bags will be heavy. Food is one of the cheapest things in UK. How much is chicken milk and egg?
