you need to keep quiet .may be you are located in some very remote state that hardly see oyinbo and also assume oyinbo is semi God . Only broke people that cannot afford 24 electric now .come to Park view , Osborne's estate .oyinbos in total upstream life large and celebrity life in Nigeria that only footballer can afford in there country that why they don't like rotation

That guy has probably lived in the village all his life. The kind of luxury and preferential treatment those guys get here, they certainly can't get even a quarter in their country.

Many of them living here have personal drivers, professional chef, security guards, etc. Dem born them well to fund that kind of lifestyle in their country?

How many people in America can afford to hire a personal driver, chef, and private security guard? They basically do everything on their own to save cost, not because they enjoy cooking or driving all day.

You don't get paid for an hour long break when you are on minimum wage!

37.5 hrs working week
Daily Gross: £71.25
Weekly Gross: £356.25
Monthly Gross: £ 1,543.75
Gross Income: £18,525
Taxable Income: £5,955
Tax: £1,191
National Insurance: £1,145
Annual Take Home pay (from July 2022 onwards): £16,188.54

So I think they wudnt tax him of the 24m month salary... besides, the prices of basic amenities in Nigeria goes up at will ... bread is now 1k , fuel is 180 , diesel is 780 , a kilo of chicken is 2k , a bag of rice is 35k ... earning in Naira is becoming dangerous

No need arguing with you or your fellow Acidosis

No matter what you are slaves cos you can never compare yourselves with a white man. Take it or leave it blacks are slaves including you two.

Here is someone who gets it.
Alot of fools on here raving like 24m will change your life permanently.

I know of two acquaintances who have quit Shell and Chevron respectively for their masters in the US. And they earn in excess of 2m naira a month. Upon completion of their degree, they are bound to get jobs that will put them at par with what they were earning in Nigeria. And even if they don't, they prefer to take that paycut in a better, serene environment than to remain on a rudderless ship that is sinking fast.

What some fools here do not realize is that you can never put a value on peace of mind. Living in some gated community in Ikoyi or Lekki whilst still within the proximity of people who don't have much to survive and who don't have much to live for, is not peace of mind. You can buy your jeep, the best kind, say a Porsche Panamera but you sure as s*** can't drive it all around Lagos with the bad roads and the traffic. Inflation catches up quicker with your salary than your employers can afford you an increment and your bills never stay the same whether it's rent or living costs in general. Decent healthcare? Don't even get me started on that. And ontop of it all we now have had insecurity in the last 8 years.

People who already understand Nigeria and the randomness that comes with it would prefer to start all over again. People who don't understand Nigeria and perhaps have never come in contact with the randomness that comes with living in this hellhole would wonder why someone leaves a 24m naira salary. Money can't buy you peace of mind. If you have stepped outside Nigeria to even neighbouring countries in West Africa, you will despise the zoo we call a country and call for change with sincerity.

GreatAxeMan:
24 million a year means 2 million a month. He lives in Lekki which is probably the most expensive residential area in Nigeria. Only God knows how much of that 2 million a month will be enough for survival in such a place, especially if you are living in rented accommodation and paying for top class security so that kidnappers will not target you.

He already probably made his money and has investments that can sustain him.

Acidosis:


Slave thinking. With the right money, you can hire oyinbo to work for you in Nigeria. Change your mentality. Africans or Nigerians aren't the only race globetrotting for better pay.

We have so many of them in Ikeja.

abeg tell them some spainard are still working in tanneries in Kano .the owner of prince hotel kano is European I wonder if him no know road again to paradise America .

It's all about the future and insecurity in Nigeria

AlphaT1:

Even if you pay me N50mil now I no fit come back. I dey North America and you can't even compare with Naija. It's like comparing night and darkness. Free healthcare; just call 911, free education for kids, unlimited opportunities for kids (their future is guaranteed even if you drop dead; I know what we passed through when my dad died), constant electricity, study grant....Dem d pay children monthly salary (child benefit) from birth till they reach 18 years. Anybody here can buy the latest car or the latest phone via financing (i.e you take am de pay chikini money biweekly or monthly, if latest comot you fit go exchange again...If any accident happens insurance go take care of it).....wetin be 24mil naira, e reach to pay ransom if dem kidnap you? As of today N24mil is $38,000 which is a minimum wage earning for here. People grow steadily here in a career and get to over $100k per annum.
Make I stop here jare.

Very well said

yarn @24 m in shell upstream is to get rotated to shell Holland or staroil that a smart move .but leave shell and move to start changing Pampers for old oyinbos on a temporary visa (student ) is pure mumu .unless. they belong to the upper class in Nigeria .cuppy can resign a 30m najia job and move to the uk to play piano for free .

RedChiefPriest:
Well if he sees better offer and if he thinks the country have more to offer him than naija then he's free to move.

For how long can you keep up!

Omihanifa:


Don’t mind them. Another Twitter fairytale who go abandon 24million naira per year salary and travel to UK to go start afresh? When it not as if such a person is under a spell.

With 24million naira per year you can rub shoulders with a politician in Nigeria nah

It's not a Twitter story
I know someone who earns about the same
rich family
do VERY VERY WELL
he resigned and left for the UK

Abba114:
nigeria wont stay like this forever it will change for the better

Story for the gods!
With the current crops of evil & wicked political class we are operating? How sure are we that people like you are not paying lip service to ' Get Nigeria working again' , that you have your own japa agenda?

Nigeria is turning to Greece soon, if you do not understand basic economics.

US is a very capitalist country unlike UK and Europe. They don't have as much social security like the UK and the rest of Europe. European policies would focus on the overall welfare of the society over an individual welfare. Culturally, europeans are more frugal and less consumerist than your average american.

Also, US sheer size and population shouldn't be a called a country but a continent and the richest country on the earth. These factors affect the way their society perceives money and rewards people.

pocohantas:


Sure there are, but the majority are just “comfortable”. I have many friends and former colleagues there. I am talking of the average Nigerian relocating in their late 20s and 30s with 60% of required funds. Not Mbadiwe’s.

My friend have 2 master degree in UK, and 1 in Nigeria. He is doing Sales job in UK, upon that he is seriously looking for lecturing job in Nigeria. Guy forget,is not as easy as you think when you're in UK. Assuming naa USA or Canada I will agree with you but not UK.Uk wey most of the job naa Sales and marketing Jobs, factory workers.Uk people wey like to apply for any available job in Nigeria,like NLNG, NPPC and so on. No be the get wey work as UK police come contest for Big brother Nigeria . Abeg UK no follow.

It is not what you earn as a salary earner that matters. It is how you spend the income.

If the family income to expense ratio is 1: 0.97, then he is a poor man.

1stGenAmerican:


Did the verdict say no possibility of parole? If not, a release is possible.

Yes there was no option for parole. So what are the requirements for convicted to be released?

It doesn't work that way, if it were, virtually all Big 4 & Energy folks would have left the shores of this country.
The process is long, and it is not guaranteed!
People who changed diapers, worked at restaurants, guards in club houses overseas 2-4years ago have mortgages and live decently now.
The beginning looks tough but once you adapt, you are good to go.

It’s a wise Decision. His wife is probably the person doing the masters. He is gonna get a better job and better pay. Nigeria is in a very bad state. You don’t even know if they have experienced insecurity of their lives as a family. Japa dey hungry me too.

DispatcherLagos:

Me go UK when I no dey mad.
Oga if abroad pass Canada or US.... I'll rather remain in my village

omo it can only be US or CANADA. Aside that I no fit leave Nigeria o

I swear bro

The safety of your life first is priority

That guy isn't making 24m a year.

Abba114:
2million naira per annum job in 9ja and i will not go anywhere

Haba na.... that's less than 167k per month

Why wait till the wife rose to BM?

Why wait till his pay got to 24m because certainly, he must have climbed steadily at work.

Is he just realizing that Nigeria is insecure or he needs a master's degree?

Tweeter story of the week.

JohnBullMySon:
Honestly this one is not a very wise decision.

I know Nigeria has security issues, but what are the odds that he will fall victim?
However it is almost a sure thing that he'll live a poorer life in the UK. Is he even sure of remaining in the UK permanently after that masters?
Even if he remains, hope he's in a field that will pay highly. Inflation is on the rise in the UK as well.

Anyways, his choice, his life. Wishing him the very best.

My thought..no place like home

Munamoqel:
really come to Lagos some even earn less .what do you think is the salaries of British white in British international school lekki ? There even an Italian that sell shawarma in polysonic mall apapa he still here and am sure he doesn't make 24m per year. How about the one in international NGO .the 24m make them live like Kings with Driver ,cook and security's they can't afford that even with 500k income in America.

With 2 million per month u live like kings
Lol

That is foolish. You are already in paradise, can visit those countries on weekends.

After 2023 and Tinubu rigs that election (WHICH I PRAY AGAINST), I will consider leaving Naija but if Peter Obi wins, I will stay and hustle in addition with my job.
I have a friend in the USA ready to fund and facilitate my coming to USA but I'm keeping that on hold.

fulfilled2016:


I'm impressed with the stats you have posted.

Does that men you go to work thrice a week or twice a week?

usually 3x a week

RedChiefPriest:
Well if he sees better offer and if he thinks the country have more to offer him than naija then he's free to move.
But if I get 24 million job per year for this naija and vampire and zombies dey kill fo Street,i no fit leave ooo.
Na to go buy better ammunition and start playing real life COD.
