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.

Funny when people say this 30k thing in Nigeria...

I don't have anyone in my circle earning just 30k monthly...even in most Government agencies ... entry level salary na 150-180k

motymop:


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.

This post makes sense... but can I ask you a question... Do you have or know anyone who is a graduate that earns #30,000 monthly

Coz I don't know anyone who earns that amount monthly ... except secondary school cert holder maybe

Coz even level entry salary of most Govt agencies na from 150-180k UpTo 300k (NNPC)

Stop comparing nonsense again.


The Nigerian economy is in shambles already, let stop blame game, nothing other than restructuring.

Simply true.

The average Nigerian with Japa syndrome is clueless until they land on the ground and quickly figure out that the they not only have to work hard, but must work 2 jobs to make ends meet.

Average rent is £2,500/Month. Minimum wage is £10 = £1400/Month pre tax, plus bills like gas, light, fuel food, taxes, fees and tax on your TV. Salary is not even enough to pay rent, this is why they work 2 jobs.. This food thing is a deception regardless of salary.

They went to Aldi sef, why not go to the regular grocery stores and see what your 10 pounds get you.

Live chicken of 3k, na immature small broiler, the chicken in that pic mature well.

Grandnut oil pass grandnut oil.. What we use here is bleached palm oil….

Butter pass butter, what we use here is butter from palm nuts, not margarine, etc.. Not the real butter..




Try reason bf u create post..

Don’t compare a third world country to a first world country…

Where OP got it wrong is the comparison was what one hour minimum wage in the UK (£10) can buy .... not what £10 can buy.

On product quality... do you really believe foods in the US are of better quality than in Nigeria? Bread... bread in Nigeria is general natural... flour ... yeast and water. Bread abroad ... flour ... bromide and water. Yeast bread is wayyy more than twice the price for beautiful soft when fresh bromide bread. Butter from palm oil ... do you really think you can afford such natural butter abroad? But here you are believing margarine is better. Do you know margarine is closer to grease than butter? Try leaving some margarine and some butter outside.... see which one ants/flies/mice/cats go to and which they stay clear of ... see which breaks down or gets mildew and which remains the same ... then think about grease... then which is really not at all good for human consumption. Foods in Nigeria are mainly organic... but you'll have to pay through the nose for same abroad.

Monthly rent in the UK is around 2 million per month so salary in Nigeria or not, do you pay 2 million monthly for rent in Nigeria.?

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.

You must be high on some village junk drugs. 😆 🤣
Most of you go just dey one village in Nigeria talking crap.
Minimum wage is the least amount you can pay a worker per hour job.
For instance in my state, the minimum wage is $13.65. Mind you, no job pays this little, if not nobody will work that job.
So one works 8 hours a day, that's $109.2 which is #125,580. A day.
How many persons in Nigeria fit make at least #125k a day at any job?
How many persons makes 10k naira a day at their job?
Mind you, 10 dollars is nothing to most Americans
People go get lunch for like $15 - $20.
That's on a normal daily
How many Nigerians fit spend 15 _20k every lunch? Daily
Whoever tells you you are better in Nigeria is your greatest enemy. Trust .me
Please it's madness to compare America to Nigeria in anything. Please 🙏 I beg you. Dont
No be for Nigeria person dey snap pic for restaurant to show off the food wey him dey chop, even Celebrities?
Person dey use champagne dey boast?
Guy, you don't do those here, homeless drug addicts on the streets can afford those comfortably.

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

You're a bastard

Why can't you march to the airports and stop us??

Which education did you subsidize, considering the per capita income in the country?

Do you know how many property some families sold in order to afford the fees in those so-called subsidized schools?

What's the minimum wage in Nigeria? What's the people's purchasing power?
How many Nigerians are employed? What are the salaries of the employed ones?

Who told you an average Nigerian family finds it easy to train her ward in Nigerian medical schools?

Do you know how many foreign textbooks a medical student buys just for one level/class alone?
Or does your government subsidize that too?
I spent 32,000 to buy 2nd year medical books in 2003, and this was different from school fees, accommodation fees, departmental dues, faculty dues, lab fees, developmental fees, feeding money, etc, etc,!
Do you know how much 32k was worth in 2003? What was the minimum wage then?
Do you know how much property my parents sold to be able to raise that amount?

So, where's the subsidy?

If you're so angry, go to the university and study medicine and then spend the rest of your miserable life working for the government if you believe the training is subsidized.

It's not about the cost of things op. It's about the minimum wage.
That's the hourly minimum wage in the UK. Based on Nigeria's minimum wage, we earn approximately 120 naira an hour which cannot even buy common agbado

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

You'll get depressed and commit suicide soon.

How many times are we going to tell people that food is the cheapest thing abroad. It is the way their societies being designed, the logic is , if you can comfortably feed yourself, the tendency to steal or commit crime will significantly reduce.

Aside that, cost of living in Nigeria is way cheaper than in Western countries to those who have tasted both side. Nigerians living in Nigeria can't afford to live a quality lives with their wages or salaries.

Doctors in the UK and the US take out as much $200,000 to $500,000 student loan that they must pay back after getting a job, sometimes it takes them 10 years and even longer to pay off the loan.

11 million adults are struggling to pay their bills in the UK. They are canceling their insurance to save money, some are even cutting off their heating gas because they can't afford it.

Op is a blind BAT no sense is coming from this

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.

You can get a room all bills included for 600 to 650 in London, outside London from 400 mr man.

You no know meaning of all bills included, Wey Dey earn 1530 after tax, no go wan buy car that time na, except you are doing 2k and above, men dey run 2300 to 3500.

You can pay 10 pounds for 20gb and free calls and text within the uk, at work, mall, mart, house there are always WiFi. You fit no finish the 20gb self, that one needed mostly when you dey road for map.

So there is all bills included rooms.

Except you are with your wife and she Dey work too, council tax na from 90pounds, electricity and gas mostly around 150pounds for couples, they combine and make life easy.

Calm down,

enter the town. And see how things are been run not sitting in Nigeria and allow those influencers to deceive you,

Trips abroad self no cost, a flight to Paris is 45 pounds to and fro, with other neighboring countries. Flight to Canada you can see 350 pounds and above.

You calculated based on exchange rate

Why not based on an individual living in each country

Eg. We dey use 40yuan chop semo and soup with chicken

It's cheap here in terms of say we making it here, but how cheap is it for a Nigerian to eat same using naira...

People in America making their money in dollars will tell you that 100dollars na change

Now you in Nigeria will see it as big things, each differs cause if currency na same value, 100 dollar na 100 naira (will you see it as big thing)

Don't say yours is cheaper or expensive, we don't have same economy

Everyone dey run on their own terms

What is the difference btw bleached palm oil and the oil there? Cos you want to make sure you say everything here is inferior.

And do you know how chickens are grown?

Many of you know nothing about food production and diet, you go just talk anyhow.

I agree things are not normal here....the issue of things are cheaper here should not come into play cos such debate is not meaningful, so I wont go into that.

Stick with your initial post and stop there. This one is rubbish.

According to that topic the person earn £10 per hour work to buy those items. How many people in Nigeria earn up to N5000 per day not to talk of N8000 per day.

You're missing the main point in that £10-challenge.

£10 is the MINIMUM-WAGE PER-HOUR IN THE UK..

Now that you have calculated N8,800,, that's very nice.

Does it also mean that N8,800 is also the Nigerian’s Minimum-Wage PER HOUR??

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