CoronaVirusPro:
He should also compare the bills and tax!

Does he know his entire annual salary in Nigeria is the mortgage or rent for what you can call home in the UK?

How many people live in homes in the UK? Many reside in Kennels called homes. Small things we can’t call BQ in Nigeria.

Does he know price of energy and taxes that follow after those numbers he quoted?

I am not saying Nigeria is better than the UK, but the true reality of the difference is not much.

Do you know the cost of living same life you were living in Nigeria under that low salary, with that of the UK?

Many can’t even live that life. It’s a party after party champagne campaign in Nigeria with the lowest we earn. We build houses to taste and own outrightly. We not chased by banks.

grandstar:
You have a point but what the doctor may be earning in the UK is nothing to write home about.

I have been to the UK. It seems what he is earning may not be more than £2,000 a month which is lamentable.

I am a data engineer with a company here, I do not need to hustle like thief.


UK HAS 3m plus millionaires in dollars
Nigeria has 8100 millionaires in dollars (add all the illegal and thief politicians, crooked men of God) 50k or 100k

Not up to 10 percent of Uk

Uk has 177 billionaires and Nigeria 4

Uk population 60m+
Nigeria population 220m+


Do the maths.


If you like remain for Nigeria.

If you like dey hustle like thief for Nigeria, dey find one big man to connect you.

Over here, you can be somebody without knowing anybody.
Over here you do not need anyone to buy job
Over here they employ on merits.

Over here you can apply for loan to start your business from the comfort of your home, you can apply for a credit card to run your business, you can get products on loan and trade.

You don’t need to beg anyone, if you have good credit score, the sky is a starting point.

Men are doing numbers, You dey follow newcomers mouth. They enter system wey dey work, they need to adjust.

tegrianonigltd:
uk has over 3m people who are millionaires in dollars,

Nigeria has 8100, add all the thieves who are politicians and pastors, add all the rest thieves, 100k, them no reach uk 10%

In a population ratio of 60m+ to 220m+

Uk has over 175 billionaires in dollars and Nigeria 4

London is the 2nd financial capital of the world slightly behind New York.

Ogbeni close your dirty mouth and call a spade by its name. How can a medical doctor be earning 185k a month? Even if his tax bills are high at least he is enjoying what he paying for. Is the price of energy cheap here, I'm paying 209.50 for a unit on band A yet I've spent 175k fueling my generator. I once visited a general Hospital, and I saw people sleeping outside on tents, no power. Only 1 doctor attending to over 18 patients in a ward. Folks like you are taking this country backward due to your blinded support.

Tell us about the work load not just the money... Exchange rate is a current key factor

The reason why the UK can afford to pay premium salaries by Nigerian standards for it's doctors is because they spend 248bn pounds on healthcare, and a large.chunk of that money comes from taxation of almost every brit. And that's income tax.

As a Nigerian doc, I would love it if Nigeria paid me the kind of salary UK pays it's doctors, but I also have to be effing realistic. If Nigeria paid doctors 2-4 million naira monthly, the healthcare budget would need to either go up to something like 60 trillion or more naira , or hospital fees go up drastically.

The fact is , anyway, Nigerian doctors are getting ripped off because government, including this tinubu one, have not done what needs to be done to make pir economy as prosperous as the UK, and that is manufactured goods and services

nairalanda1:
Most Nigerians want to live the good life of saner climes without realizing that you pay heavily on taxes for that good life

UK funds doctors salaries with national income tax . That's how they fund their NHS which employs most doctors there. If tinubu or anyone of our past leaders passed laws that charged UK tax rates in nigeria,there would be a coup and a popular revolution, which even his diehard supporters will support

Nigerians don't trust their government. Which they are right not to do so, because corruption and bad leadership. But as a result people are susceptible to flawed populist economics that promise goodies without an idea of how they would be paid for

VeeVeeMyLuv:
If they were doing this from a genuine heart
People would buy into it wholeheartedly, knowing that govt like (Uncle Sam in United States) got their back. They would pay the taxes.

And within a short time Nigeria will turnaround, transform , flourish prosper, peace will return, they would now be able to drive again peacefully at night or be able to enter the bush peacefully to explore.

But what we have are very unrepentant hardened recalcitrant dubious characters.

.....my brother the thing weak me, they will asay people pay too much taxes in the UK, but at least we see what the taxes are used for, fire services, Police services, Road repairs, free education etc, the last time I checked the school fees for Baze University in Abuja run into millions, to set up a good solar system is millions, and if you don't live in a secure estate with armed security guards then you sleep with one eye close or try doing tourism in the outskirts of Zamfara or Kogi/Kwara axis then I suppose you have nine lives.

VeeVeeMyLuv:
Dey deceive yourself
You think if they were reckless and irresponsible

They would be so organized to be able to pay their doctors like that?

Why do you guys like defending rubbish here ? For how long? Right now almost every worker is underpaid whether private or public sector due to the twin effect of devaluation and subsidy removal policy compared to other parts of the world .

And on top of that they still want this same people to pay the tax and prices for goods and services that developed country pay, using devalued , purchasing power destroyed naira.

So, how was he able to save about 18Million Naira to move to UK since his monthly income was just N185,000.

Abi e dey thief?

nairalanda1:
In other words you are assuming that we can provide the same kind of service that the UK provides for 275 billion pounds in Nigeria where our health budget is a measly 1-2 billion pounds and our budget is half of what the UK spends on policing

You are also wrong to assume I am excusing or supporting bad government. My beef with apc has been their failure to even diversify the economy and to fight corruption. So please disabuse yourself of the idea that I am supporting apc. It is even an indictment of apc that our country is not prosperous and powerful under their rule.

But to return to the topic, if we want UK level , we should pay at UK level or vote government that would make our economy dependent on innovation and industrialization or both. And we should fight corruption as well. Only fogithing corruption does not make our health care budget sufficient.

VeeVeeMyLuv:
Okay so what do you want Nigerians to do?
Shebi they say God bless Nigeria with abundant human and natural resources? So why is it in this state? Why are they not harnessing these? They don't need to do much , just a little sincere effort and the seed will blossom into a tree just like the magic OBJ did with telecoms sector. But do we have? They lack sincerity! See how they mess up ABP in Agric sector under PMB. A good program fa.

It wasn't this bad under GEJ that they lampooned and lambasted so much. Though I have to admit that insecurity was just as bad and so pronounced under his regime, those enemy of state terrorist were hitting major capital cities of states even federal capital with bombs!


Why we can't follow China example is beyond me. If I tell you they were once worse than us would you believe? Now that money they borrowed in the past is now chicken change to them

They are now lending to many nations (such as Nigeria)!
See their govt policy deliberately to developed the human capacity of the people.

WhizdomXX:
Nobody even asks how much they use to get education over here. There should be a temporary ban on medical professionals leaving the country. You can't get subsidized education and go on to insult the same country by going to where they spend over 1000% on the same education to work.

EvilMerodack:
I used to think all medical doctors are smart, guess I'm wrong

Thank God I've never visited any hospital for medical attention in my entire life, but if I would have to now, I'd need to test the doctor's intelligence first.


This dude is prolly poor at Economics. You don't flatly compare earnings in diff countries with diff currencies, you consider purchasing power, tax and other factors that can influence potential savings at the end of each month/year

CoronaVirusPro:
Because many have been brainwashed to believe there is a better life there. They convert GBP to Naira in their head forgetting they don’t spend Naira in UK.

Wrong calculations is what has landed many into a journey of no return.

Someone lifting boxes in UK will tell you he is making over 1 million Naira a month, ask him his bills and tax and you will find out what’s left and he even still can’t afford that life he was living in Nigeria
