He fails to explain how much he spends on his studio flat.

He earns enough now. So that one is not an option.
Nigerians are poorly paid.
70k minimum wages is too small

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.

Stop deceiving yourself bro. This your narrative has made me question people I knew that moved abroad.
You earn enough over there to cater for your expenses.
It's common sense! That's why Japa is a thing.
Minimum wage wey we dey collect Na owo eru

A Nigerian medical doctor has stirred serious buzz online after comparing his earnings in Nigeria to what he now earns in the United Kingdom.

According to the doctor, identified as Dr. Tolu, he spent 7 years working in Nigeria without ever earning up to ₦185,000 monthly, even while juggling multiple jobs.

He revealed that after finishing medical school, he moved back in with his parents and lived with them till he was almost 30 years old — without owning a car.

However, after saving up to write the required exams and moving to the UK, his 6-month salary abroad reportedly surpassed his entire 7-year earnings in Nigeria.

Here’s what he wrote on X (formerly Twitter):

This revelation has sparked discussions about the state of healthcare salaries in Nigeria, brain drain, and why many Nigerian professionals are relocating abroad for better pay and work conditions.

Is the UK really that much better, or is it just hype?

It would be better to know what year did he start the work and counting 7 years up......

This information is incomplete...

Nigeria the zoo is not anybody's mate

Doctors don't earn minimum wage.

MrGerald:
No matter what you spend you'll still have savings that would help you achieve more, someone I know in UK made over 2m under three weeks from cleaning alone in the UK, no matter how much you earn in naija it's almost like nothing

Hahaha.

Your friend must be a billionaire now.



Your friend never tell you truth.

Commentor:

Yes they don't. But still take any slight opportunity they see to Japa.

When I say minimum wage, I'm using that as a point of reference that we earn poorly in this country.

They always think the grass is greener elsewhere.

I would predict that in 5 years time, many doctors would leave UK for Nigeria, as their experience would not be encouraging.

at least bandits won’t march him out into the bush at night.

Peace over tinubu

Una go just open mouth wàá.... Small thing, unà don tag bandit. He mention say na inside village for Sokoto he dey stay when he dey Naija?

Tell me, na which place insecurity no dey, weda directly or indirectly, in different forms?

I mean no offense... Abi na how wuma dey talk am🥴

1. First off enh,im security over there deh guaranteed 247 💯

2. E go get value for im money compare to naira.

3. 247 interrupted power supply.

4. Proper road,train & water transport connectivity.

5. No injustice.

At the end, whatever he sends back home in a month is by far higher than your minimum wage. That's his point. Besides he's living a good life far more than you. Better healthcare better infrastructure better environment etc
No bandits no tinubu no disturbance

I can assure you he isn't.

The political class are the wealthiest people in Nigeria,in case you missed it.

They get everything for free even pension for life too.

Their children lived abroad.

If government pay all our healthcare worker's 10k dollars monthly (naira equivalent)🤔

Heaven go fall?

Commentor:
I can assure you he isn't.

Well, a friend mine already archived that upon moving to the UK. He achieved not just building houses but he is certainly living far better than you born in Nigeria. The joke is on you

So, you know where I was born.

I am telling you that the doctor is doing very well there. Most people in UK already by built houses in Nigeria and they are doing quite fine for themselves. You in Nigeria and have been hustling for years don't even have land let alone house. Travel to Kano by road fesss let's start from there if e sure for you. The joke is seriously on you

Thats not quite true though. Even junior doctors earn between 3 to 4k pounds per month. Nurses that work private and not under NHS earn 22 pounds per hour and work 12 hours a day for 4 days a week. Believe it or not, the doctor is actually right. In 5 months, I earned my 11 years gratuity payment. I'm not even a doctor. I am talking about what I had left after rent, bills, tax. Yes, things may be quite expensive in london, same way it is lagos, in New York. Those are highly populated cities. Rent will be high. Folks fail to realize though that the UK is 4 countries in 1. England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland. Expenses vary in these countries. Rent for a 1 bedroom flat in London will get you a 3 bedroom flat in many other parts with council tax and bills.

That's not the issue here

It is the way he said it that's the problem. You'd have reached the conclusion he was receiving much less.

Jakarta:
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.

Must you abuse him to make your own point? especially he was not replying to your comment. It say a lot about you. 😔

KaLuCh:
You're not just lying, you're deluded. There is not a single legal resident of the UK from Nigeria that is experiencing those trash you typed up there.

Of you averagely doing well in Nigeria, can you find same life I the UK?

How many Nigerians have their kids in private schools?

How many stay in highbrow area and live in conducive apartments like they did in Nigeria?

How many have work-life balance like they do in Nigeria?

You will only appreciate that side of the world when you were never averagely balling in the Nigeria.

What you call doing well over there is still poverty and mental stress for some of us.

66uvie:
.....who is this the we that build houses in Nigeria, how many people can afford to build houses in Nigeria and on which salary?

Does same not apply to the UK?

How many can do same in UK, or you telling me they all own homes and have no bums on the street?

Commentor:

keep living in delusion. And keep deceiving yourself, you hear. After he spends that money on all his taxes and house rent, his take-home is still far bigger than your entire yearly gross pay in Nigeria. So, where is your analogy?

Then what are you saying? You Nigerians like deceiving yourself too much. A set of people who will eat an entire meal with just a tiny piece of meat is claiming enjoyment, while those ones who eat a very healthy diet is what this one is referring t,o that they are suffering. Even those people living on the street over there are still looking healthier than most Nigerians.

That’s your circle in Nigeria. It’s not generic. Fall into circle and corporate professionals in top multinationals and see what plays.


Don’t make it sound like everyone feeds well in the UK or can afford a balanced diet. It’s not all rosy for everyone there as it happens in Nigeria.

It's always easy to know those that haven't lived abroad.

His highest total earnings in Nigeria was ₦185K

₦185K = £100

I'm sure any doctor in the UK can easily save £200 monthly AFTER all expenses. That's the point of migration, most migrants can save and remit MORE NAIRA than they could EARN in Nigeria.

Oya Oga Gerrard come and invalidate my argument with PPP

Good Luck to Nigerians.

Time will come when all qualified medical doctors in this country will relocate to Europe and we will be left with Nurse Elizabeth and road side chemist doctors... A country where the president run to France for teeth fix . May Nigeria never happen to me

But gang members can stab him to death on the streets of London in broad day light. Nigeria is not the worst place on earth. Stop this nonsense. By the way, I live in d UK so I know what I am saying.

Every country obviously has some level of crime but it's about crime rate, likelihood.
As you are likely aware there is crime data on absolutely every street in the UK, the likelihood of being a crime victim ( never mind violent crime)is much lower in UK than in Nigeria. There is also a higher probability of getting justice in UK.
How many crimes are dealt with in Nigeria to victims' satisfaction or at all?
