Your problem is poverty mentality..

Are the quality of the houses the same thing..

Show me wish part of Nigeria fine pass the place the average people live?

What we eat here dogs in overseas won’t even eat it… We eat rice with one small meat and claim food is cheaper in Nigeria…

Make una behave una sef….

As fine as you claim the streets are fine who sleeps there at night or bath there....those living in lekki are they minimum wage earners? Those living in lekki, vgc banana island earn more than £10 an hour you know why should a minimum wage earner wants to live there even bobo londoner cannot find a place like that in London to live.

Which dogs different from those German shepherd, bull mastiff that people own here in Nigeria that eat any food when hungry....please don't tell me you still rate oyinbo dog more than yourself? rice with one meat on top is better than rice with mashed meat stew on top

You be werey, the person bought all 5hise item with one hour wage and in Nigeria the monthly minimum wage is 30,000 and you are still comparing Nigeria with US and UK. May be na night school you attended.

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.

It is not everybody that works for £10 an hour in London some hustlers take jobs for less and you can't blame them.. Anybody you see working a 10k work in Nigeria is dependent on someone most likely someone earning a minimum wage or more from business or petty trading just as most civil servants in Nigeria do have side hustles.

In London the pay is high but what you pay for goods and services is higher compared to Nigeria which makes the money almost worthless for them there its more like you having to work yourself out to sustain even buying those kind of food in the basket compared to when it is brought here to Nigeria to be spent then the money is big but here the pay is not high but it buys the same thongs with lesser effort to earn the money...I hope you get it sha

I gerrit

Btw, I'm not coming to London

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

So you think London is the only place in uk. Just like saying everybody living in Nigeria stays in Abuja

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

What is this Oga saying?? 50billion pounds? how??

Do you have an idea how much 50 billion pound is??

Processed foods?

Processed food arent healthy at all. They are the cause of many diseases.

This is the difference between rich and poor people abroad.

The richer you are, the more organic food you eat, if you are poor, you are more likely to eat processed food.

Organic foods are very expensive abroad compared to processed food. Here in Nigeria organic foods are cheaper while processed foods are expensive. Reason is because many are imported.

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)

Gbam!!!!

I'm certain you lack critical thinking skill.
How can you convert pounds to naira to comparison. The right number should be What's an hour minimum wage in Nigeria.
In UK, an hour minimum wage is 10 pounds but a months minimum wage in Nigeria is 30,000 naira. Convert 10 pounds to naira at the rate of 1450, that's 14500 naira, half of your months minimum wage here. Its way too expensive for Nigerians to live in their own country.

See all this fools trying to paint Nigeria good whereas na bad place

is the person spending naira in the UK

the same person complaining of 30k minimum wage in Nigeria, their counterpart in the UK, those earning 1200 pounds per month are also complaining in the UK

just because you here pounds does not mean the person is enjoying life in the uk

You are not being realistic here. With an hour job, one is able to afford those items. Now how many hours can these be achieved in Nigeria? If one spend 5 to 6 hours doing job a day, you know how much that will be in Nigeria currency? How many people earn that in a month for countless hours in Nigeria?
Stop dribbling the brainless ones

Deogratiasfx:


Pls do you understand what you are posting? There u earn big and spend big but here in Nigeria so many earn small but spend big. It is not everything you want u post; think.

another ignorant comment

Many people earn small in the UK, few people earn well, it is the same in Nigeria

80/20 pareto principles

just because a person earn in pounds does not mean his/her salary is enough for their well keep

salaries are paid according to standard of living, the higher the standard of living the more things get expensive. so employer will pay to meet up with the standard of living.

someone earning $5k a month in San Francisco might be struggling to put food on his table because of how expensive the city is, but to you when you hear that amount from Nigeria, you will think he is balling when in reality he cant put food on his table.

if you bring it back home, someone earning that same $5k in Nigeria will live a wonderful life in Nigeria because of how cheap the country is.

someone earning 1m naira per month in Nigeria will live a good life while someone earning the equivalent of 1m ($1226) in the uk or us will be literally poor.

That same person earning $1226 per month in the US or UK, if he / she moves to Nigeria, they will live a good life in Nigeria.

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

Bro you sound very myopic. Did anybody stop you from moving. Or didn't these doctors pay school fees. Do you know the amount the exams cost for you to qualify to practice in uk? Education generally used to be subsidised in Nigeria not just medical training.

Instead of you to attack your govt that has refused to allow other Nigerians live a good life you are here attacking those that decided to seek for greener pastures. Lest you forget subsidising Education is the least the govt owes it citizens and stop making it look like they have done any tangible thing from the our collective oil or tax payers wealth.

You are as clueless as the op.

We are still on the same page bro. Cost of living in UK is way higer than Nigeria. Rent is ridiculous and very small. Most Nigerians share apartment their but it's not common here in nigeria

Shake my head.

Well, to be fair at least he has a roof over his head and is still able to save something no matter how small afterwards, how many people in Nigeria can say the same in the current economic situation?

TV license is per residence so inclusive in bills. Internet is peanuts, you can get more than enough data for ~£15 on a payg plan. The transport network in London is very good, you can do without a car and still get around.

I think the point still remains that OP's comparison is not only deceitful, it is incorrect.

That's #10k per hour approximately...

Stop dribbling the brainless ones

Employers here in Nigeria do not pay per hour, also in the UK they do not give you cash per hours, per hour is just a rate for your time work so as to calculate your monthly income. Most of the time, in these type of jobs, the average hourly pay has to be at least the National Minimum Wage.

just because an employer is willing to pay you 10 pounds per hour does not mean when you are given your monthly paycheck, it will be enough to cover your living cost that is because 10 pounds is the minimum wage for time work.

the same person earning 10 pounds per hours which is minimum wage in the UK his counterpart in Nigeria which is 30k per month cant enjoy the good things of life. both of these individuals are struggling in the different countries they live in.
