I have only been in the UK for 3 months and I have sent 1.2m naira home. If I was still in Nigeria I wouldn't have been able to send anything with my 95k salary. My dad n mom would still be sick and we would have to beg rich relatives to assists.
Also I have spent £1300 in bringing my spouse here so don't be naive.
Just migrate in the right way.

EngrKemp:

How can someone get a job from here as an auditor?

Send me links

Thastie:

Yes

EngrKemp:

How much can sponsorship route cost.
How is the connect like?

Which job are you doing in the UK that has brought you this much. its like you have save more than £3000 in 3 months. This can mislead new comers thinking they can make this kind of money within 3 months of arrival

erico2k2:

Now you are being silly. Who do you personally know that does petty jobs abroad? I'm not talking of hear say DO YOU KNOW ANYBODY PERSONALY?? not meaning to be rude you sound very Uneducated an ill exposed!

Sweetvie:
Yeah, am a nurse
Move from Canada to australia

hustla:


Wow, interesting
Is there any specific reason for this?
Do you have Canadian passport already?

erico2k2:

£3000 is N2.7 m in today's money.if you save £700 monthly for 3 months, he can save up to £2100 x900 =N1.8M plus, U gerrit it now?

erico2k2:

My point is, you guys come only just to jump into conclusion and comment what yah know next to nothing about.No you say you earn more than what 60% of us abroad do, Now are you sure you know what 60% is? it means if there is 10o of us abroad you earn more than 60 of us.U do realize the average take home in the Uk right now is roughly £2000 which translate to N1.8m in today's money, So your monthly salary must be over N2m then right?

lajid:


Here ednut, trust you’re well. Don’t you think 45m to 60k pounds a year is low after removing tax and living expenses?

You commented on my thread when I asked whether to choose big four or IB (actually went for the big four reason being that I want to japa too.

But then the money paid looks small, how do they save with 45-60k pounds? After tax and living expenses?

what you don't know you don't know.

There are people who earn over £20,000 and more monthly working from home in Nigeria.

Thanks but this is not normal or possible within 3 months of arrival in the UK. i.e saving £3000 in 3 months. One can hardly find its feet regardless of the job one may get. Accomodation within a month, energy cost, transport etc will at least be £1000. So it means he must have been earning after tax £2000 a month which is almost impossible for a new arrival. His story is too good to be true and cannot be generalised.

Can you give an estimate of the number of people living in Nigeria that you think earn £1,000/month?

I know for instance that drilling engineers in the oil & gas industry in Nigeria can earn anywhere from $500 to $2000 per day. Office based engineers in earn somewhere around ₦‎600K to ₦‎1 million per month. This I know, I've seen the paychecks for these people. The TOTAL EMPLOYMENT COUNT in the entire oil & gas industry in Nigeria is 65,000 persons, including drivers, gatemen, secretaries and cleaners. Chevron Nigeria has 600 permanent employees ONLY, anyone else working at Chevron is a temporary contractor. That's an industry I happen to know a bit about.

The TOTAL EMPLOYMENT COUNT for the Federal & State governments combined is about 2 million people. Averaged out, I don't believe they earn so much. How many of them do you think earn £1,000/month?

So could you please estimate to me how many these super earners there are in Nigeria?

I know they exist, I know a fellow who works remotely for Microsoft in Nigeria, he was in my home this past summer. I know another who has a fish farm and makes a lot of money, I know how he pays his workers, I also know how much artisans in the building and quarry trades were making when I employed them in Nigeria. So my close experience and information matches the research reports I've read from PWC and others that only 0.5% of workers in Nigeria earn more than ₦‎200K per month.

Again, it's not that these Super Earners don't exist, the real issue is HOW MANY OF THEM are out there in the Nigerian population? What are they chances that a random person you meet at Abuja Airport earns £1,000/month? That's the koko of the matter, that's more RELEVANT.

Anyway, to each their own. Believe what you want.

The average salary in Nigeria is 30 to 50k and thats for Lagos. Outside Lagos it's way less as there are states where the average salary is still less than 10000 naira. States like Abia state are owning doctors salaries for 2 years now.

erico2k2:

NO shyte

ahiboilandgas:
so people don't die like Rats! In the UK ? a woman was just killed while hanging out with friends in the club in Bristol . all die na die .Abi you prefer UK die.

tensazangetsu20:


I think the feeling of Nigeria is wealthy is from social media. Takes like 400k is a small salary. I can't marry a man who earns less than one million naira a month kinikon. Sometimes it's good to go outside and touch grass.

erico2k2:

You forgot the few Nigerians who now come get here prepared, they have sponsored jobs mainly or are professionals with jobs waiting. Work provides housing or match them we co-workers to buddy up. Some might live with relatives for up to 4 months. If your take home is £2000 a month and you live with your Aunty, can't you save "1000 a month? If you get to live in a carer's quarter and pay £450 as rent in a month cant you save £1000 a month? Now if your agency that you work for sends you to live in care then you do not need to pay rent, this can go on as long as the client is alive. I can go on and on,Im saying this cos I know the ins and out, you don't.

ttoyetade:


You don't know the ins and out at all. Who will pay you £2000 a month as a starter and without a UK experience. Even if they you £2000, he will at least pay a tax and NI of £700 unless he is working outside the system. Working outside the system i.e not paying tax and NI no one will pay £2000 a month. I hope he is not doing some other things

Gemma11:


If he has a working partner then it is possible.

Gemma11:


The woman who was killed in Bristol was not killed directly and intently by police as the lady in Nigeria. She was also not transferred hospital to hospital because they were unable to treat her before she died. Unlike the lady in Nigeria who could have been saved had she recieved treatment at the first hospital she was taken to....

Ambulance no even dey to carry that poor woman sef and the man had to abandon his small children to take his wife to the hospital....stop comparing apples with oranges...Nigeria and UK are not mates.

Thanks. Yes that is possible but he said specifically he has spent £1300 to bring in his spouse. This is just for exchanging ideas and I have no business with whatever he earns.

erico2k2:

I know Englis is not your native language but I'm very sure you saw me writing TAKE HOME if you do not understand what £2000 take home means please ask for explanation, cos I'm now confused you talking about NI and tax. If you do not understand the above, you are not qualified to speak on this subject no point talking to you, the problem with some of you is ITK, you don't live in the Uk and has never earned ££ but yet you want to tell us who lived here more than 2 decades how it works here, does that make any sense to you at all?
