We should not tell him the price for one bag of rice 😁

I'm telling you, I sent someone 3hrs amount of my wage yesterday for a bag of rice. I smh

helinues:


Getting £2k pounds in UK and getting N2k in Nigeria ,which one is easier to get?

.. Thank God say na for online you dey do this thing, you no go fit dey talk this kind thing offline for where people dey paranoid, hands for don touch you from back.

Timoleon:


Can 2k pounds pay for two bedroom in the good places in London?

Are you interested?

More like 800k nowadays. 200k can't afford you a maid and driver in today's Naija.
With 200k salary you are not suppose to even get married as a man unless your wife is bringing something almost equivalent or more to the table or else, you will definitely live like a pauper tossed about by life problems.

He should have compared £2k to 2k naira, the fact that he compared multiples of pounds to a lower factor of naira, says it all. Also if you earn 2k pounds in UK, you get access to social amenities, your life as well as your property is secured, can a 200k earned in Nigeria get such?

helinues:
Kinda true.

Things are really cheap in Nigeria even compared to other African countries but the problem is they are not available

it's true. Insecurity in the country is also very ship

Onyema added that with earnings of 200,000, a Nigerian can afford a maid, a driver and other domestic staff.

Mr Allen must have been high on contaminated weed when he said this.

shurlermoz:


Are you interested?

Would you like to live in malo dominated outskirts of Abuja? I bet you can find two bedroom apartments there for 20,000 naira per month

If you have been earning N400k in Nigeria for the past 15 year you are now a poor man in 2024 as your standard of living will drop or you will be left struggling each month with less than 15K balance

Timoleon:


Don't do it. That's misrepresentation. Mr Onyema could never say that.

but the other part which he said are false, the driver and the maid. The person can't even buy car self and u can hardly afford to pay rent, talkless of own a house in most urban part In Nigeria

DaddyJapan:


Let's be clear, you are the one talking about a minimum wage here.
£2K a month is not the minimum wage in the UK either.

Yes, I know that... I referenced that because statistically, over 50% of Nigerians earn below the minimum wage.

Trying to sell a lie that 200k earners in Nigeria live far better lives than those earning an equivalence of over 2 Million in the UK is idiotic and fallacious.

I let my 2 bed flat out for N120k a month which is N1,2m a year in PHC, so that means if you earn N200k you will not be able to afford it as you are now left with N80K to run things till month end.

Allen Onyema, please are you paying your Flight Attendants who risk their lives everyday in the air working for you in your airplanes up to N200K?

This is a stupid talk.

If your are earning 2000 pounds in UK, you can live a very comfortable life more than someone earning N200K now in Nigeria.

Once your rent is sorted, you are okay.

Food is the cheapest thing in UK.

How many people earn that amount in Nigeria. The minimum wages in Nigeria is 35k and most states pay below that.

You forgot fuelling his Gen set.

To be honest I struggle to comprehend how people survive in less than N100K jobs in Nigeria.

Donaldoni:


Not everybody lives in Lagos...
I pay my maid 4k per month with weekly transport fare.

Some people dey alway use lagos judge the whole country, Lagos wey b say na overhyped state, you rarely get value for your money in lagos.

Imagine Lekki estates selling electricity at 250-300 naira per kw.

Donaldoni:

You my friend is xtreemly wicked, you should not even pay them at all,

PepeXKermit:


You don go europe before abi them deport you? Who will go to uk and be able to save 200k naira a month from 1k? Una be jokers

I live in Europe - don't tell me what I know. There are so many ways to cut down cost of living in Europe and you'll still be living better than the middle class in Nigeria.

Woolwich na outskirt to you?

You are assuming the person has to buy a car. If the person comes from an ok family and inherited a car, that's his car na.

shurlermoz:


Woolwich na outskirt to you?

Read the personal experience below. There's a reason the price is that low. 'good areas' do t have these kinda descriptions.

helinues:

Apt!
This is exactly what we should ask.
Even the valueless naira is difficult to get.

Timoleon:

Woolwich price low? How? have you seen the cost of them flats by Woolwich Arsenal?, 2 bed flat cost £500k above not house I mean Flats

Donaldoni:

Talk of the devil and here he appears. Oga you are pure evil the worst set of it. the day that maid decide to kill you in other to steal your properties, we will all be here to support her and give her moral support. talk of the heart of a black man and you are just a perfect example. no single care and sympathy for that your maid. how can pay someone just N4K in a whole month in Nigeria in this present economy, baba you are pure evil.

helinues:
Kinda true.

Things are really cheap in Nigeria even compared to other African countries but the problem is they are not available

So that is why 2K pounds will be equal to N200K. you guys must be high on some cheap drugs.

helinues:


But he his saying the truth now.

Which dirty truth. i spend over N800K monthly to feed a family of just 4 people, i do a monthly audit on my account and that is what i found out. The truth is currently anyone earning less than N500K monthly now is a very poor man.

Mr. Allen's statement is a clear indication of how far removed from the reality of life in Nigeria the elites (Entrepreneurs enjoying government patronage, politicians and their ilks) are.

He isn't aware of the true state of things.

With 80k balance, feeding of 3k per head daily(barest minimum) will amount to 90k per month. Balance can't even cover feeding.
Transport, entertainment, electricity, tax, medicals, clothes, personal development, religious and family obligation not even covered yet.

Woolwich is SE18. How is this Outskirts?? its in the Royal Borough of Greenwich.

My friend I have since realized there isn't no Middle class in Nigeria, Its either you are poor or Rich end of.

Kloenboi:


Allen can afford to buy a mansion in UK.

Are you aware of that?

This would flaw Allen's argument then

erico2k2:

Very true, and the poor gets poorer, the rich gets richer.
