Pls respond intelligently.
At no point did I say Nigerians don't pay VAT.
My point is that both income tax and VAT (plus other taxes) are way higher in the UK compared to Nigeria.
Nobody is jealous of you as I've experienced life on both sides of the equator.
Perhaps living abroad is your greatest achievement and ambition in life

Grow up and stop feeling insecure.
Gosh.
You reason like a teen but an insecure one.

all this fine bread are like 1k around my side, then local bread ranges from 850 to 1200 depending on size. But I still doubt local live chicken will be 3k, a kilo of chicken is almost that price or more self.

Do you think that chicken thigh in that basket will be more than 1 kilo?

AVERAGE PRICE of bread N500+N800+N1,200÷3= N833

Una for ask the werey say that type of spaghetti us different from naija own,is ×2 in size and who go sell such big kilo of chicken to u at that amount,secondly who go sell that oil at such price of 1400 naira,stop comparing rubbish,u.k worst is better than naija,as most people have told you, food is cheap same as in Netherlands but rent nd bills go choke u

Work on your economy (Naira). Let's now compare the two. In as much as naira is still weak in the forex market, cost of living in UK is far better than Nigeria. In fact, what am I even saying. It an insult to UK to compare there economy to that of Nigeria. Stop defending suffering. It will not help you

UK & US ARE OVER-RATED NIGERIA IS STILL BETTER in terms of cost of living see a practical example why doing a price comparison: 1 pound to 1 naira today is N1,001 so are you saying with £10 x N1,001 = N10,001 you cannot buy everything in that basket and collect change in Nigeria today?

1 Sliced Bread = N800
2 Spaghetti = N1400
1 Gesha = N600
1 live chicken = N3,000
1 75cl soya Oil = N1,400
1 Midium size Butter = N600
2 Gino Tomato paste = N1,000

Total = N8,800 so your change is N1,200 that's if you exchange pound to naira at offical rate and buying at the most expensive stores or high brands. If you exchange at black market rate and buy at public market "days" you will collect as much as N6,000 after buying everything in that basket....that's about £6 left.

LET'S JUST THANK GOD FOR WHAT WE HAVE AND STOP LOOKING AT AND GLORIFYING ANOTHER MAN'S LAND MORE THAN OUR OWN....OUR OWN NA OUR OWN O

That is an hour earning my brother. You and your kinds analysed it wrongly. Show us what you can get in Nigeria with your own weekly earning lets compare it with that

See as agbadorians dey disgrace themselves upandan, next will be Nigeria has more comfortable people than US and UK to justify that Nigerians aren't suffering...evil people defending the devil.

Common sense can't even tell you we live in different climes, different wage, different economic policies and different conditions, tell an average Nigerian and an average American to switch location with their current account balance and see who will live more comfortably, anyone with common sense knows an American will live like a king in Nigeria.

I disagree somehow but Thier income can Carter for it, but not in Nigeria...my brother sends me money from USA for up keep

LikeAking:

Is it that you don't have sense at all or you sacrificed your brain just as your fellow agbadorians did

By UK's law, the minnimum wage is £10 per hour. Hence, a person working 8 hours per day for 4 weeks would earn at least £1,600 at the end of the month i.e. about #2,000,000 in today's exchange rate.
Whereas in Nigeria, for the same length of work hours, Nigerian law can only provide you with N30,000 per month, that is not even a guaranty

Despite, the huge difference in pay gap, commodity in Nigeria is virtually almost as expensive as the UK. Yet, you are here writing rubbish. Anyways, as I suspected; you have sacrificed your brain as food for your criminal master, Thief Tinubu.

Sliced bread 🍞 is above 1000!

You lack basic economic intelligence.
Go back to school or read some books to expand your knowledge.

Have you considered the earning power and minimum wage of these countries?
The standard of living, the provision of basic amenities etc.

Very Dumb comparison,

It depends on what you refer to as cheap...
In Nigeria, I earned 202k per month but after deductions and spendings and savings, I barely have 50k to myself....
Come to the UK.... I have a job that pays 400 pounds daily for 3 days a week.....
After all deductions, I take home 308 pounds daily....
Thahs 3696 gbp per month...
I pay rent 800....family up keep 500...bills 300...that's 1600......
I still have over 1600 left.....
What about the cost of food?
Bread is 85p
Bus rides around where I live is 2 pounds no matter where you stop.....
Chicken breast is 1 pound 82p....
Beer is 89p....
I buy my clothes in one pound shops... This means that, in the shop, any clothes you see are all sold for one pound.... And guess what... Most of them are brand new....
So in my opinion, life may be cheap in Nigeria but it's definitely better abroad....

Ode. Do they spend naira thr
Naija sell substandard products,expired products,fake products.

This misinformed write up shouldn't be on front page

Nigerians and their stupid comparison!
Is wages and access to jobs the same?

Chinjo2:
It's not only about cost of living. It is also about living in a country where things works. Where the government understand their responsibilities to the people.
We don't need academic statistics. My brother who travelled to the UK 5 years ago has completed two mansions here in Nigeria.
He could not even build one house in his 15 years of working in a federal government agency in Nigeria and you are here talking about cost of living.

Same here but some people will still come and say it is easy in Nigeria than going to serve in another man's land

Did you consider tax in the UK

MEEVEET:

Lmao

It cost you 1 hour to earn that money in the UK... Ok minimum wage ooh

In Nigeria it would take you just over a week to earn that on minimum wage

So please do you calculations again

Difrent:


Other workers are other workers. Doctors are Doctors
It costs so much to train one. Government subsidized medical education for the good of Nigerians not for the good of UK.
Dont tell me about wages... Doctors are among the best paid Nigerians.
Equipment?...not bad. (But you trained with those equipments manage it to work too)
Working conditions?...they have one of the best in the country
And like I said
It will make more sense if you want go work in the UK to train as a doctor in the UK too
Why do you think even UK citizens are not even studying medicine.....it's the cost
The UK health system is heavily reliant on medical workers from India and Nigeria.
The UK government is gaming it's two biggest former colony

Oh yes, our health system is so perfect that all the politicians are treated abroad. What a clown!

When you guys are making these comparisons, always take into consideration that both economies are different.

In the USA for example, the minimum wage is $7.25, that means, the lowest earners in the USA have to work 3 hours to make what the minimum wage earner makes in a month of working in Nigeria.

Just using the power of the currencies alone. It cost more for someone making 30k naira a month to buy full for 675 naira per litre than it is for someone who makes $1200 a month in the USA.

Also take into consideration that the government I the USA have various programs funded by tax payers that benefit the low income earners. Some get as much as $700 for food a month from the government. A lot have their housing subsidized by more than 90%, and in some cases, 100%. Schools, even the best schools up until time for college are free. So, even if you earn low, if your district falls on a grade a school, your children get to go to the same school as kids whose parents are millionaires.

Never compare the living situation of low income Nigerians and that of low income Westerners. The difference is night and day.

U de mad, average income is 30k,10k is 10 days job, 10 pounds is 1hr job there..

This Op sef, you people need to stop comparing nonsense, it's way cheaper in the UK and that's the truth. How much is a pence to Nigerian naira? You can get a loaf of slice bread for 75pence in the UK. Sardine 45pence, evaporated milk 55 pence, whole chicken £1 pound 2 pence. The last spaghetti I bought was 0.75pence convert that to naira.
