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.

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

LikeAking:
Point of correction, the quality of the products here and there are not the same..

Life is cheaper in Yanke than Naija, @ OP..

U must not argue everything…

I don’t think you have a car at your age in Nigeria, but it’s a norm in Yankee..

We’re will Nigerians earn one hour wage of 12k..

Secondly, I don’t think you eat or even buy food stuffs, or give ur gf money to go to the market..

What’s inside that basket is more than 6500.

Multiversed:
The statistics is wrong though.

ChengHun:
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

Chinjo2:
This your analysis lacks merit.
He said the person bought those items with his hourly pay of 10 pounds.
If I may ask you, how much is hourly pay in Nigeria?
Assuming you are one on the few fortunate graduates in Nigeria that earns let's say 150k per month.

Then
150k divided by 30 days = N5000
N5000 divided by 8 hours = N625

Then I ask you, can you get those items with N625 in Nigeria?

(Remember most graduates earns less than 100k per month and works more than 8 hours per day)

You even tried self by using 150k naira.

That £10 is the minimum wage per hour.
Let op calculate our own minimum wage per hour and you'll see that it can't buy anything in that trolley.

MT:
You have forgotten some of these:

Council Tax
Water Bill
Electricity Bill
Telephone Bill
Television Licence
Internet
Gas
If you have a car - Road Tax
Sky - If you have cable

And you will spend more than 60GBP on feeding in a month.
So, at the end of the day, he does NOT have 730 GBP to save as you claimed.

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

reddingtonblack:
I can't believe you came back to spew rubbish again after it was made obvious your post was a blunder inspired from myopic reasoning

How can someone who earn £10 per hr go for houses of £1400 a month, even when the screenshot you attached stated social workers go for houses within range £200- £800. why not try £700
What will you gain trying falsify what is a public knowledge, cost of living abroad is better cos the purchasing power is on a good rate plus, employment rate is also good these are the factors that influences standard of living and cost of living.
Lastly, need i remind your ignorant ass bankers OAP, civil engineers, mechanics works on saturday and nurses/doctors, lasma, police, presenters or journalist work on sundays.

Ordinary carton of chicken is more than #30k minimum and you dare open a thread to spew gibberish

Akpaparazy:
omo uk and the United States is expensive as shit rent and mortgage wan kill people ooo,plus in Nigeria we pay rent per annum down here nah monthly ooo

psalmsjob:
Because I'm on a higher ground let me just ignore your supposed insults and cut to the case

In London which houses are more readily available (vacant) those of £700 or £1,480
How far off to city center are the vacant houses of £700??

A house of £700 a month in Nigeria will sound stupid to a worker earning #30,000 per month but pays his own house rent on yearly basis not monthly that the Bobo Londoner has to pay N700,000 per month out of his basic £1,600 per month which is about 44% of the salary whereas a similar house of a 2-room self con in same type of location in Nigeria will cost about 34% of N30,000 over a 12-month period.

We have not factored transportation into the salary yet oh...

Those workers in Nigeria that work on Saturdays earn more than the minimum wage for doing just that working overtime but Bobo Londoner will still get only his £10 for those self-imposed or sapa-imposed weekend and overtime works

Why will a £10 an hour worker in London buy a cartoon of chicken can he afford it? I ask you bobo londoner friend

Let's be objective about our country we are indeed lucky to be here break yourself from the yoke of abroad is better....Nigeria is more affordable to live in than UK....I talk ham again with facts

yesloaded:
1 live chicken @3k na for your dream boss

That 10k na some people's salary at the end of the month (Go n verify my claims from private school teachers)

£10 is more than 10k naira & it's for 1hr work not even full day not to talk of 1month

I love Nigeria but let's call spade a spade

jakeroberto:
As a student over here in Canada. You have 20 hours to work in a week.
Let's do the maths:
20(hrs)×18(per hour) × 4(weeks a month) = $1444(Canadian dollars)
1444×585 = 842,400 naira( this is just average).
Meanwhile, in Nigeria. I was earning just 100k naira per month.

Difrent:
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
