Prince62: How many earn 2k monthly after tax? Each country pays according to how expensive the country is to live in. If Nigeria pays that, inflation will kill the country. If UK does not pay that, it will not be enough. 2 Likes 1 Share |

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.

Maobichek:
Good evening, i encourage you to ask questions before coming online with exaggerated figures. I have family members and friends at UK, rent for two bedroom flat at Cardiff was paid at 800 pounds last month (some people pay even lesser, these are houses that are well furnished).
At Sunderland, a friend pays 900 Pounds per month for a well furnished apartment. Someone i know made 6M+ a month and remits 1.5M every month for his building project here. UK is better if your paper is genuine and you are working. Students work only 20 hours every week but if you are not a student, you can work as your strength can carry you, thank you. What does the person do? The way you guys throw figures around is mind boggling! 1 Like |

At least they earn big and spend big, unlike Nigeria. How many people earn 8800 per hour in Nigeria? It will take a senior civil servant in Nigeria 2 days to earn 8800, meaning that what an hour pay can buy in UK, 16 hours pay Is required in Nigeria to buy the same thing. So UK is better 16 times |

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
You guys should stop abeg... It's getting irritating. A minimum wage earner in UK and one in Nigeria (minimum wage o), do they have the same standard of living?!!

At what average earning potential per citizen?!! Let me shock you... Average management budget for daily meals per individual in Nigeria for a month is currently not less than 30k. Please, what is the monthly minimum wage in Nigeria for those employed o?!! How many people even earn that amount monthly in Nigeria?!!!
