BritishNaija:

Brother do not be angry, I'm very proud of my job.

obailala:
Shut your stinking mouth! I live in the UK and I pay all the so called taxes you talk about. But I've also got friends and family all around Nigeria and I visit Nigeria ever so often, so I'm not as chronically ignorant as yourself. Nigerians may not pay taxes to the government, but to survive comfortably in Nigeria, you end up still spending on basic amenities just about the same figures people in the UK spend on taxes and bills.

In the UK my taxes cover my healthcare, security, roads, access to steady water and electricity, etc. In Nigeria, you have to pay physically for these things and you end up not still getting them efficiently. Do you have a clue how much it cost to run a diesel generator for 12 hours daily in Nigeria? DO you even have a clue how much a unit of electricity cost in Nigeria today?

Meanwhile a £4k salary monthly in the UK after tax is equivalent to about £70,000 annually; a person who earns that literally earns more than over 90% of salaried earners in the UK. For you to say that's not a good salary or for you to even attempt to make a comparison between that and N1.5m, I dont even have words to describe your ignorance.

Deicide:
Stop to day lie who day pay you 1.5 for Nigeria here. Mods should stop moving all this useless thread to FP

What can I say..you have to first decide what path interests you the most in the Tech space:
Software Engineering
Data Analytics
Product Management
Cybersecurity
Project Management
Product Design,
Blockchain,etc
Cool
Once you decide exactly what you want to, commit 6 months-1 year to learning and development....There are tons of materials online; with an internet connected laptop; you are good to go bro; You just need to decide, be disciplined and be committed to the cause!.... You will be happy you did!

lexy2014:


All these stories are made up stories. If someone has d brain to make 1.5m naira a month, why can't he have the brain to no whether £4k in England is better or not

Okay ok continue begging... Eleribu bet9ja gambler

aribisala0:
Opposite of angry. I am amused
because I asked what the job is and it seems you cannot explain what it is in simple English

celtel:
Hi if it is true you have the 4000 pounds offer, this is my honest opinion as I presently stay in the UK( outside London) and left a 7digit salary to come here too.
Firstly pray and get GOD's leading and if that is done, 4000pounds is more than enough for you. my own expenses are below:
House rent - 742
Council tax - 130
Gas - 30 Standard meaning you can put on anything when and how you want.
Electricity - 45
TV Licensing - 159
Feeding for 4 - 300 max
transport - 120 0r less, because I work from home.

Total = 1,526

As long as you are cool headed and also I just got a car so transport will become easier for my and my family but I have also paid insurance and tax for it ( insurance is expensive because we are still going to be using international passport to drive for now is 200 including tax.

Your 4000pounds is worth much more than your N1,500.000.

Ahumanbeing:

4000 * 12 = 48,000, how did you see 90,000

BritishNaija:


Wait wait, where you referring to my personal Job? I thought you were asking me what Tech stands for, my bad.

Any reason?

4k pounds all the way from naija....Iro nla ...hahahaha

stinflame:


We keep shouting moving for your kids , tell me how many big men in 9ja have their kids schooling in Nigeria high school... You can send your child to study there ,while they stay with a Foster parents. After that they gain admission into the university overthere.
While you stay back sending them upkeep with routine visiting. These have always been the usual way most big men, who earn well here do. 1.5mill in 9ja isn't a small cash and even if you remit $1000 every month for your child's upkeep oversea, you won't feel it.
You better sit down and think it through, save as much as you can here, start a reliable business you have ownership of with good profit. Live the life of your dreams here.

Vanzcharles:


@ Ammishaddai
Stop saying bills and all that compared to £4k remember his £4k is after tax so he has only few bills to pay which would be less than £150 if he has a car £300. That's all.
Education (free for your little children in the govt school;Quality of govt schools o'er there is better).

CoronaVirusPro:
Are they planning to employ you as a contract or full staff?

What is your immigration status? Do they plan to file for you or you have a PR or citizenship?

That I can only use to determine if it’s worth it.

Toks2008:


very true.

He said 4k after tax so lets say he pays high tax of 40% since he will be earning over 50k per annum i guess that will come to about £5500 a month which is about £90k a year.

But right now the highest tech salary is within the range of £65k a year.
Na you no know wetin you dey talk,why will you say highest paying tech job is £65k a year? That's false sir , some people in tech get paid more than that and the beautiful of it is they can even have more than one job if they are working remotely, so sir , stop saying what you don't know
So this story is lamba.

wg01:
2 things i will say, No UK company will offer you tax-free salary. Not even when you are in Naija. I have been on top of the Game for 15yr and I get over 30K GBP a month but I still have to pay taxes. You will live a decent life with 4k but you can live a better life with 1.5M Naira because you will build a network and have other opportunities you cannot get in the west. All you will get in the UK is Money and in the next few years the money will not be a problem or your employer gets someone cheaper than you from naija the same way they found you.

Izprince:


The story might be made up, but that doesn't stop the fact that it can also be another person's reality, Just play along and pray your own too no go spoil... This life is too complex to be concern about what is and what is not, even your brain cannot differentiate between imagination and reality... That is why imagination is the greatest gift to humanity, when you imagine, your subconscious mind finds a way to bring it to reality... That is why u have to guide ur subconscious with all diligence because the subconscious take 95% of your mind.

lexy2014:


I really can't see what subconscious mind& all the philosophical stuff u wrote got to do with d comment I made

frenchman:
This is a big fat lie, salaries in UK are quoted before tax
