Come for the hug

Why bring knife to a pillow fight

Nukilia:
Highly disappointed with the stuffs you put up there.

30YO a boy...

Stop taking crack ...

You can actually get your point across without sounding like a badly-raised person.

1Sharon:
Gdfo.

no vex na, Come let me hug you

Kewtt:
Exactly what he is doing

Sadly if one has a child that is acting in this unfortunate way. Shaming him in public like this will only make the child alienate him or herself from the father/family further, the stage will now be set for the partner to manipulate him well well. It's a dicey one

Orinechi:
Support and protect a renegade. Hmmmmmm

I know. I really know. But deep down you still love your son, so he has to try. The boy is not wise we all know, and that why the father should help him.

The man should rest at this point. Wish his boy well. He needs all the family love he can get. If a woman goes ahead to marry your son that is much younger than d woman without the consent or blessings or presence of you the father, what ur boy needs from you is protection, support, guidance and someone to watch his back. He is lost, he is lost, d least u can do for ur child is to forgive HIM and be there for him, even if he has not said sorry.
The father needs maturity and wisdom, his son is still his son. If anything happens to the boy, he cannot replace his son, na him go still cry and live with the pain, the 38 years old girl will get another boy to marry

https://nairametrics.com/2024/01/18/taiwo-oyedele-says-only-10-of-20-billion-2023-diaspora-remittances-end-up-in-nigeria/

Quoted from the link u shared,

The Chairman of the Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms, Taiwo Oyedele, has disclosed that a mere 10% of the $20 billion 2023 diaspora remittances reached the Nigerian foreign exchange market.

The funds do not pass through Nigerian FOREX market. A lot is happening in the P2P market. Almost everyone on their whatsapp status is selling and buying dollar. It's not like people's money are not getting Nigeria.
The money is already labelled remittances, so it gets remitted but it doesn't pass through the official forex market. If someone wants to send money to their child abroad and u want to send money home to do some things. Una go deal, I believe that's what he's talking about. I stand to be corrected

Proserpina:
This gaslighting tactics is obsolete try another.

A woman has the right to reject whoever she wants to reject. She has the right to want the best and choose the best. If you fall in the post of the rejects , work on yourself and hope someone find you worthy.

Keep this tale by moonlight to yourself but you may choose to use it to scare your own female kids into marrying the wrong persons if you like.

Everything na gaslighting to una. E say rejects thank God for faceless forum wey dey give some of una voice. If you are raising your own daughters already I wish u all the best on that, if you are looking to get married I still wish u all the best.

Dear young girls,

He is not my type, he is not rich enough, he is not trendy enough, he is not tall dark and handsome, he doesn't have full beards. He is not this, he is not that. Dem dey tell una now, una dey find weytin no lost.
Shey u see weytin dey happen to ur role models at 38. This babe still dey lucky na, shey the boy still decided to go ahead with her against the wish of his family, plenty babes dey for street, dem no even mind make the family of the man even do billboard and advert on NTA news to rubbish them like ds, make the boy just decide to be with them. Even if e no Marry them, make e just dey for dem like bf or fiance, make dem for get chance of pregnancy.

The babe dey play with fire sha, make nothing happen to the boy o, otherwise she go pay lawyer money tire. She no go jail o but they will unsettle her in a very big way

If we let these generation of super eagles players retire without using them to win anything, it will be sad.

2Radii:
You are right as far as I am...

The more u step up the ladder the more ur expenditures grows in size sebi u know?

Left to me, the only thing that make UK better is the minimal social vices and ready made amenities..every other sides they are below Nigeria

But in Nigeria, the growth in people's expenditure is exponential while they r not really stepping up any ladder.
Meanwhile if minimal social vices, ready made amenities are available in UK, that is a huge part of what constitute quality/standard of living. Those 2 things u call ONLY, those are the things a lot of people want want in this life, and they will have peace and live happily forever with their loved ones.

Roger3D:
Have you seen a picture of her without makeup?

Yes.

That savings do not get to Nigeria all the time in equal amount and when they do they chase few goods due to inflation in Nigeria. We should not simplify all these things.

My point is not to discourage anyone travelling to foreign countries to live and earn. The unnecessary comparison made with their currency and that of Nigeria is of no use. Not all savings or foreign remittance over there get to Nigeria. When those foreign remittance get to Nigeria. They are used to chase FEW GOODS put that in mind due to inflation and economic dynamics everywhere.

I largely agree with your points. But see at some point we have to make comparisons. Foreign remittances are not necessarily chasing few goods at the moment. Practically speaking, Even with rising cost got goods in naija, What $1k or £1k did for me 10months ago is very small compared to what it does for me at the moment.
I would like u to tell me why u say, not all remittance get to Nigeria. I don't get that part. Is it missing along the transfer route? Relocating to UK in itself is not what will make u wealthy, it can however fetch you a pathway to plan for a super comfortable life in the very near and distant future. if you do things correctly 85 out of 100 times u will achieve this.
Nigeria on the other is a place u can just become wealthy with the way things are, but from what I know the probability of that happening is 30%(less if we are being honest)

RaptorX:
People that convert a foreign currency like dollars or pounds to Naira as a sign that a foreign is worth migrating too are dumb and uneducated. Like you will be spending Naira over there, dumb silly reasoning if you ask me.

it makes sense to convert what u have left for investment after every other bills have been taken care of

lekonso:
This man is on drugs. This information can't be true and people will still be working there. Where did they see all the extra money left to build houses in Nigeria if what is saying is true

what part of what he said do u think is not true

2Radii:
will their expenses and utilities and cravings also remain stagnant??

expenses and utilities wont remain stagnant, if its about cravings, people earning 50kNGN per month in naija have cravings too. The normal thing is that u dont satify ur cravings if u cannot afford it, will 3k net income take care of a family of 3 in UK? it will. Will the household income be minimum wage forever? I dont expect it to be so.

Neoteny:
Average monthly rent in UK is £1,200 (london x2 that amount), average utilities is £200, £35 for internet, phone around £40, groceries around £500 monthly for a family of 3, and average bus and tram pass (for 1x person) for a month is £100

That's £2,075
Given the average annual salary is £40,000 for full-time jobs and the monthly net is averagely £2,693, your leftover is:

£2,693 less £2,075 = £618, or £20 per day.
This doesn't include clothing, toiletries, movies, haircuts, gate passes, rentals, health, insurances, entertainment, savings, gifts, etc

I want to point some things to you. Will their annual household income forever remain on 40k? Are there no opportunity to change to better paying jobs or get promoted to higher-paying roles within the same company? and Lets go by this your calculation, even if all they have left to save as a family is £200 for fixing something back home, is it not something for being on minimum wage jobs? But my major argument with u is this, will they be on minimum wage forever? Do they have jobs in Nigeria that will have them save 500k every month for investment or building project? When they were in Nigeria, did they have budget for gifts, entertainment. If NO, why is it now suddenly important because they are in UK.

fkj950ax:
I have always said this Dr Dude is a criminal.
That list was done intentionally to misrepresent fact.
Where is Monthly Income BEFORE Tax?

But he said it clearly na, yearly salary and monthly net income, just press calculator divide by 12 na. He did not misrepresent anything.

theysg:
You don live for there before?

he said the absolute truth, u get value for ur money, proper value for the tax u pay

AirBay:
If you don't have money?

if you dont have money u just come on nairaland and start posting naija is better than UK

TheGift:
From this statement, i know that you are not familiar with the cost of living crisis hitting people in the UK.

Please share a little about the cost of living crisis...what is housing like

achorladey:
I laugh at the fact that money earned in UK and the rest is always compared to Nigerian currency. The money earned there is spent there. You don't earn your salary at the end of the month then jump on the next flight to Nigeria to spend it here because it has more value here in Nigeria. It is your savings that you have access to send here or you travel down to spend here that has value. They don't sell or provide services over there in naira or Nigerian currency.

What is the basis of the comparison everytime?

The basis for comparison is that savings u have to send to Nigeria that you talked about. Husband and Wife with household net income of 2800 can still afford to easily send 588pounds(1millionNGN) back home monthly for whatever project they have(which is conservative because they wont stay on minimum wage forever and many people even earn above minimum wage).

No let anyone whine u say say rent dey expensive, person wey dey from ikorodu go VI everyday in Nigeria, e reach UK e say e no fit stay 45minutes away from his office. Na him dey find weytin no lost

Kemistri3:
Are you still interested in moving to the United Kingdom (UK) after seeing this?😀



Dr Olufunmilayo

dont be dramatic. Husband and wife even earning 2800 net pay collectively are not doing badly. They may not be able to buy Gwagon but they can live a comfortable life. They will even have 500k to spend on building projects back home every month.

Your kids can do great things, if u get son, u fit try whine am make e be footballer. The opportunities are endless. Even if u no send money home for housing project, collect mortgage, after few years apply to collect Home Equity Line of Credit, use am do weytin u wan do back home or wherever.

Beautiful woman, ageless. May God give her happiness and joy. If she has it already. May God make her joy last forever.

MomohMrMoore:
Instead Tinubu government to totally ban crypto trading in Nigeria for now while they try to recover the economy first.
What is their gain in unbanning crypto? Do they themselves benefit from it?

It is better to monitor what is happening than to ban crypto trading. Because really with technology, u cannot really ban anything. The web space is such that you can be in Nigeria and be operating anywhere else in the world on the internet. So imagine someone's activity manipulating ur currency when u can't see what the person is doing, it's better u see so u can control appropriately.

Cardoso should stop being an idiot. They have told you can't stop determined minds from operating in the crypto space. P2P is well ahead of you.
Why not face your currency decline problem from the root. Synergize ur economic policies and shoot to earn forex for the country. Encourage people that will produce, set up trade exchange systems and the rest with China and serious partners. Forget the hate u have for the tribe that will benefit most from reinvigorating trade and production, just do it and save the country.

Jokerman:
Observation

1. Era of PDP result writing favoured OBJ

2. Tribal voting did not start today, however it seems Tinubu and his minions have proliferated it, as we can see....

In 1999, all Yoruba voted for Olu Falae, from 2003-2015, all Northerners voted for Buhari head on...

3. It seems SS/SE vote more of competent candidates rather than tribal, as we can see votes to Obasanjo etc..

4. So no core SW gave GEJ 70% 😂😂😂😂

I don't know what you are trying to get at but the only salient point u made was that tribal voting did not start today. In 1999 there were 2 yoruba Frontliners, yorubas voted enmass for 1, even obasanjo did not get massive vote from his state ogun. You say SE is d only one that vote based on competence, but the only time a SE person was a Frontliner the SE states also went to him massively. The country
Nigeria is not united by default and every tribe, every fucking tribe do the same thing, go tribal with their votes. I am a sure and big Obi fan but you've got to stop this lopsided analysis

Who will build affordable uni for d massed like ds. Government dey fail sha because we can't tell private investors how invest their money, make una dey vote wisely o
