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.

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

Timoleon:


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

Donaldoni:


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

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.

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

Timoleon:


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

Timoleon:


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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Qurungu:


True, Nigeria is probably one of the cheapest places to live on earth, but we are fast losing that to worrying circumstances.

I think our main blessing is that we have food. The land is fertile. We have animals, and we have fish. But people can’t go to farms now, since the past decade. Dangerous communal clashes here and there that affect Sustainable Agriculture, e.g., Okuama.

What has been happening since around 2008 (boko haram) is that we have been steadily losing this stability and advantage and people are seeking stability elsewhere. Our decline accelerated speedily over the past decade and still continues sadly.

We can stem this and reverse our course if we approach our challenges sincerely and with resolve.

We can. We should. We should.

God bless Nigeria.

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.

erico2k2:

Not cheap these days it’s a couple of millions.

VeeVeeMyLuv:

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.

Average9jaman:


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

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

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.

Jewessgratitud3:


Who's living there?. So I don't go to work and pass through those places. Besides those are the kind of places you can get a house with 200k salary in Lagos..

Shey NEPA send any body. Where is the fuel to Even run a Gen.
