Westchester:Let's say N10K for £10. If you v N10K in Nigeria, you can buy something closer to that same rate in Nigeria. But can an average minimum wage earner buy such in Nigeria? Nigeria is a country built for people that can suffer very well. 1 Like |

descarado: In return for all those subsides you mention, UK people pay heavy duty tax. Alongside the heavy duty light and water bills they pay Also, education at university level is not free. Fees for UK students is about 6000 pounds. It is only Scottish students that go to university free. I'm not saying Nigeria is better, but I am telling you how much those subsides cost Denmark pays half their income in tax to affird free education and healthcare |

Persephone1: Nigeria is totally bad!!! I live in Manchester and I earn same £10 an hour. My rent is £900 a month, I spend £50 for light, £80 for gas. My take home after tax is £1800 at least and out of it. I save a minimum of £600. And this is minimum wage 21 Likes 3 Shares |

This is misleading. If she takes that same 10 Pounds to an African Store in the UK, she won't be able to buy too many items. The reason is simple: Foreign food is more expensive than native food. If you took that same 10 pounds ( which is more than 10k) to our local market to purchase our local food(not packaged supermarket o), you will purchase a lot of items as well. But if you took it to the Super Market to buy processed or packaged items, you won't be able to buy much. The reason is simple: Foreign food is more expensive than native food. Let's keep things in perspective. 4 Likes |

BennyDGreat: Exactly! He possibly doesn't know the meaning of minimum wage. Here in Nigeria where an average spaghetti has turned to 650-700, I don't think those who collect 30k monthly can afford to buy those groceries 3 times out of their salary without being in trouble. 7 Likes |

femi4:and apart from food that is expensive in Nigeria, every other thing is cheap? You pay tax and the government uses for the good of the citizens, is that a bad thing? Don't we pay tax in Nigeria? Prepaid meter without light from day to day, those without meter get estimated billings every month even though their is no light. Fuel and gas are equally expensive in Nigeria. Don't even talk of housing, that one cost is on another in Nigeria. Health care horrible, education horrible, social infrastructure in comatose. Lagos to Abuja by air is N230,000. I remember going to UK from Abuja in 2010, the return ticket was N170,000, now it's about 1.3M 2 Likes |

Nativetree:see your analysis here, very accurate, you are saving over #500k in Nigeria currency every month. You will surely meet up in a year if you are on loan. White people really make things east for themselves, unlike black people, we are just doing evil to ourselves. Very unfortunate seriously |

djkirkoo2: You pay council tax, utilities, television licence, transport costs and you also may have to buy clothes and suchlike. If you have children, your costs increase drastically. School uniform and materials all cost money. Have a car? More money. Internet? Not cheap. Sky decoder? Not too cheap ( though Freeview is enough) I forgot, you pay national income tax. More money gone Even that rent, it varies. Living in London? Your rent just went up Utilities like power are expensive. Especially when winter comes and your bills go up because heating. I haven't mentioned phone bill. 4 Likes |

AfahaAbia:After paying for those amenities, were you not getting your money's worth? Did you pay estimated bills after getting darkness and buying fuel for a noisy Gen? Did you have to pump water yourself or draw water from well or another compound.? Do you need to know a police commissioner before the cops would respond to your distress call? 8 Likes 1 Share |

Cruise777: That's what you don't understand, they made feeding cheap, so you don't complain about hunger or being lazy to work and earn money to pay the rent even if its high. If feeding is cheaper in Nigeria you would hardly hear people complain about hardship. Our government need to focus on giving the hungry man food before thinking on how to borrow money and build elephant projects for people to see them as working. Former Plateau state governor Jonah Jang ficus more in agriculture and constructed roads to give farmers access to bring their products closer to the people, that's why he still remains the best till date... 7 Likes 1 Share |

They have misplaced priorities. No one in such a rich country like our Nigeria should go hungry. Every citizen should have universal basic allowance to take care of food at the minimum. Minimum okuwehcris: 3 Likes |

Omo all this people saying people there are paying expensive price for housing and whatever. I know someone who went to Germany last 3 years. He has come home at least once each year. His family are in Nigeria and he takes care of them well. When he was in Nigeria (he was working here for like 5years before he moved) omo sapa want to finish him and his family. 11 Likes 1 Share |

ceejayluv: Nigeria's problem is that most of what we pay for power , light and fuel is subsidised. Result, the companies do not make much money and they provide bad service as a result. Did I even mention the fact that 40 percent of Nigerians do not even pay for power? UK on the other hand does not subsidised power, petrol or water. As a result, bills are high, but because you are paying the actual price you get your value for money . Anytime it has been suggested Nigerians should pay market price for utilities and petrol we get the usual poverty answer 1 Like |
