are this people family men? How are u sure that is the only hustle they are doing? Let's do the calculation. If u earn 200k in a year u will have 2.4m. Tell me if 2.4m can buy a car if u a car in Nigeria and that is if u save ur entire salary. Because they have a car or they are building houses doesn't automatically mean it is that 200k that is covering everything.

If you answered the question honestly, there'd be no need for this your writeup. In Nigeria today, there are people whose salary are 200000 or less who own a car.

unclejb2:
if you have a genuine job, you can get a mortgage.... What mortgage can you get with a N200k monthly income in Nigeria?

getting a decent flat to rent is even hard on that salary

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

yes it can cos if you are going to rent a two bed it means you have a wife living with you .There is social housing for them meaning you can get such flat for £700 etc

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

That is why they steal.

Geovanni412:
Chief, don't mention shoes and clothes in this equation.

If you have 200k, go to second hand shop. That's common sense.

Only spend on necessities like children food, school fees, house rent etc.

Salary and wage can never change just like that. If they do that, they will sink the country in heavy inflation

What will be the new minimum wage? 1million naira?

In my opinion, minimum wage should be scrapped

Let them pay people per hour instead. I think the minimum wage experiment in Nigeria has failed woefully.

Very hardworking people get paid the same as ghost workers. In school, I knew two guys from Taraba that collected salary even before the govt workers because their pops dem dey house of assembly.

This useless people should have done it ever since.

The truth is that What most people are paid for labour or work these days in Nigeria is a crime against humanity. It is an eyesore.

If you know how to manage in UK you gonna become billionaire in 5yrs coming in Nigeria here stop blocking road for somebody success!! Why you allow all your children Dey go school for outside Nigeria Awon eleribu set of awon oniranu eeyan

No be only billionaire na trillionaire.

Timoleon:
Which part is a lie. Let's do an actual comparison

There is no basis for comparison in the first place, it's already flawed because the chasm between 2,000 and 200,000 is mind boggling.

The percentage of Nigerians who currently collect 200,000 as monthly salary will not be up to 5%(select few).
Meanwhile, the percentage of people in UK collecting 2000 and above as monthly salary will definitely be a higher percentage(majority)

For me it just exposes how weak and useless the power of our currency is.
One should be ashamed to bring those two figures together as a basis for comparison, in relation to the strength of 2 currencies

They didn't buy the car recently, go and find out. They got it before these useless govt policies.

Or they are involved in high paying private business or in shading business dealings at the workplace
Or they inherit the car from their well to do wealthy parents.

Today Nigeria, you can't save and use only salary to buy direct Belgium London used tokunbo car.

Jewessgratitud3:
Not entirely true because the conducive environment, constant electricity supply, good roads and security they enjoy can not be compared to what we have in Nigeria.

The smell in some areas in Nigeria can make you fall sick due to constant power failure in this hot weather climate causing serious heat waves. Every house will now open their windows to the street with smell of heat and Early morning breath oozing from this houses. Abi na gutter smell? chai!! Omor it's a nightmare. You can't experience such abroad.


If youre talking in terms of food, it's cheaper over there though maybe our Nigerian foods are on the high side but you'll still be able to afford it.

It's only the rent I know it's expensive and their taxes but if you cut your coat according to your cloth, you'll live fine. Avoid those their big apartments and you'll have enough change to roll by and still save something.

Life na management until you can Stand on your feet.

In all I still prefer the environment there this una place don dey smell too much.

you think that guy was chatting rubbish right? let me tell you. He is right.

Treadway:
many are mad, few are roaming.

Driver - at least 60k salary
Maid - at least 50k salary
one Other domestic staff - at least 50k
Oga boss balance after above expenses- 40k

So oga boss is left with 40k to feed himself and fuel his car for that month? Allen must have just received a Mouth Gig before going on air. His brain never calibrate.

On top 200k you dey collect driver and maid... Werey ni yin se... Una just wan dey flex ... Abeg go America go carry drugs

Invest in solar and soon you would not need to worry about electricity.

helinues:
But those things are not available, one needs to struggle to get them even when you have the money, e.g electricity, even if you can afford alternative as generator and be able to fuel it, what if the generator refused to work?

Donaldoni:
Very true

Our people always console themselves by converting their earnings Naira. Otherwise, it's chicken change.

Make them dey build their mansions with money they earn from sweeping and washing yansh in UK na... Abi them no like mansion for UK ni

Not cheap these days its a couple of millions.

Just imagine what you are saying. are you proud of saying we should go for second hand ?😡
This is very very sad.

In recent years past one could conveniently afford to enter market to buy a solid brand new shoe even as a student then in the university with upkeep money.

Now as worker earning it is scary to go for brand new solid wears.

This is a serious retrogression and indictment on the leadership of this country.

Geovanni412:
How many bags of rice does one buy in a year?

That is the question to answer

On average, a family of four eating three cups of rice in a day no go finish one bag of rice in six months.

If you know this maths, solution is to buy food in bulk and store once you got the money to do so.

so a family of 4 will only eat 3 cups of rice and the remaining days will be to fast? They won't pay NEPA bills, security money, children school fees, transportation, healthcare, accommodation fee et al

That was when N100 was equivalent to £1

Earning 2k pounds per month in UK is just a little above minimum wage. Nothing special. Rent and utility bills don consume 80%

Trust me it’s not. Start with a basic package of a good inverter 4 batteries and 4 solar panels then add 4 more solar panels 2 years later then upgrade your batteries at year 4 and you are set and if you like you can upgrade your inverter in year 6.

the man is sleeping, how can he even say that

He has seen life more than you, and he speaks from experience.

Oga, utility bills won't even allow you save up to £50 from a salary of £2,000.

So i think you are the one sleeping.

Yes. The op didn't say you have to buy the car recently did he? It's you who is adding that. He simply said you can hire a driver from a 200k income and that much is true. There are a lot of hungry people out there who will gladly take the job for 20k. Is it a fair salary? No. But will they take it? Yes. This much is what this thread is about. Can a maid be engaged from an income of 200k? Yes. If you made an offer as a young man who works Monday to Saturday that a maid should come clean your house on Sundays cook and leave and you'd pay her 15k monthly, you'd definitely find someone who will gratefully take the offer. Is it a lot of money in this economy for the maid? No. But will the offer bw taken? Yes. In the present Nigeria, people work for as little as that even for worse conditions.

How much does a person employed in a pos shop get paid? Many teachers in small private schools don't take home 20k. Many factory workers take home 25k or less with hard Labor. Many secretaries of really small offices earn 15k or less.

Do you really think it is impossible to find someone who will cook and clean 4 times a month for 15k? Or someone who will drive for 20k?

Do you get the one you pay for in Nigeria?

He should stick to the operations of Air Peace and stop granting interviews on things he's not in touch with. How can someone say this even 8 years ago, can a return Air Peace ticket from Lagos to Abuja be bought with N200k? He's there saying someone earning N200k can own a car, have a house help etc.... that's exactly why corruption continues to thrive as this kind of assertions are made by people stealing from their workplaces

So your grudge is with our currency. Not with his submission. Fair enough.

Since I never leave 9ja before, I have nothing to say.
But sir, the question is, How many people earn 200k monthly?

Keep mute...what the Man said is true

MrProlific95:
the man is sleeping, how can he even say that

Dozi05:
Big lie. You could easily do 1800 after tax if you do just one job. Spend 1200 easily monthly if you are single and save 600 every months. With an exchange rate of 1800 and even saving 200 a month you would have 360k. So what is he talking about if not nonsense

The man is lousy and a wicked soul

I know some peeps in the UK and US not earning beyond 2000k but doing so well at least they are sure of better life for themselves and kids, go on vacation and still save to build house here in Nigeria

tuzle:
not everyone wants to japa because of wealth if that is what u think. I don't mind learning the hard way, like I am having it any easy here.

God bless 😁
