Cost of living is cheaper there..

Way cheaper…


At least they earn big and spend big, unlike Nigeria.

You guys focus on the money earned but not on what the money earned can purchase....the purchasing power of the money. See another analysis for you to stop Lmao

If our bobo londoner works for the standard 8 hours per day and earning £10 per hour and he works for 5 days a week; he would have earned = £10 x 8 hours = £80/ day x 5 days/week = £400/week x 4 weeks = £1,600 per month. With this earning bobo londoner is taking nothing home at month end and cannot afford to buy that kind of £10 food every day if he does he might be in debt see why:

Now for bobo pays average of £1,480 for house rent monthly and pays average of £140 for transportation to work. That's £1,480 + £140 = £1,600 per month ONLY. If bobo londoner tries to buy his £10 food everyday as man must wak that's £10 x 30 days = £300 per month.

Therefore, bobo londoner must werk on Saturdays to survive that's £80 x 6 days × 4 weeks = £1,920 - £1,480 - £140 - £300 = £0.00 per month

So Bobo Londoner must werk on Sundays to have £80 at every month end

Workers in Nigeria do not work on Saturdays and Sundays before you start your comparison again

CHRISTFUCKER:
Nigeria is a forking shit hole


I rather be in a prison in the UK than a shit hole ruled by a pissing retard

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

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

Speak for yourself dude. Not everyone in UK earn £1 in one hour and for your information, I make more than £1 per hour here in Nigeria. Slave mentality have finished you people

joyandfaith:

it cost one hour but when I earn it for a month, your tax and house rent with bills take all ur hard work away unline here...a month's rent there is more than a years rent here etc

samdaisi:
The man that wrote this must be drunk if not you can't compare an hour wage in UK which is 10 pounds to ten thousand naira that private school teachers receive as a salary salary in Nigeria, nonsense

sammyj:
Did you consider tax in the UK

LikeAking:
The quality is not the same..

Our own is even worse than GMO.. Our own processed food are filled with chemicals..

Our tomato paste for example is filled with food coloring and tickner, sugar, etc… They won’t allow such nonsense in their place..

Spag pass spag, abi u know no.. The spag in that pics, look like child’s spag?

Even Noodles made in Nigeria pass Noodles made in Nigeria..

They have higher quality over there..

U must not argue everything..

loswhite:
Can you say the government is creating the environment? Do you understand the importance of government policies? Do you understand the numerous projects and research funded by the governments you mentioned? Do you have electricity? Who is responsible for the refineries not functioning? The greatest problem of this country is the citizens. Nigeria as a poor country should not have extravagant politicians that leave a lavish life style like they are not a poor country.

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.

Even though Migration is as old as humanity Nigerians are making it look like the next Gold rush.
In the past 2 years UK has made over 50billion pounds from Nigerians alone to shore up it's ailing economy and to keep the economy running they make sure they are stuck in jobs their own citizens refused to do while paying heavy taxes at the end of the day....Nigeria and Nigerian economy loses

Those I'm mad at are those doctors that got subsidized medical education and ran to UK to practice....why didn't you go to study medicine in UK?....just game our system.
If you want to practice in UK.....study medicine in the UK too.....abi does it make sense to want to be treating whites but use blacks to train
Ungrateful lot
