"UK-based Naija guy fills up 53 litres of petrol and pays £97... that's roughly ₦190,000 at today's rate! 😱 He shouts 'UK life is just suffering and smiling' and asks how much the same fuel costs back home in Nigeria right now.

Watch him react in real time + see why Nigerians online are dragging him hard (Minimum wage UK vs Naija comparison incoming...)
Current reality check (March 2026):

UK petrol ~£1.42/litre (avg)
Nigeria petrol ~₦1,000–1,200/litre (varies by state)
But UK minimum wage ~£1,000–1,200/month vs Nigeria ₦70,000/month
Is abroad really suffering or selective comparison? Drop your thoughts below!

You need connection to find a car running on petrol in the UK. 🤣😂🤣😂

I don’t know why they so obsessed with diesel, and don’t tell me it’s all about one reliability crap!

Those guys are just stingy and why they love diesel.

If UK hard for you abeg do come house

Nothing pisses e off than these guys abroad that makes it look surviving outside the country is a difficult thing.

I no blame am Sha na bad governance I dey blame

Where is the UK suffering? Same man looking fresh... Afterall he is not suffering from severe heat like we are facing in Nigeria currently. Let him enjoy is UK and allow us to rest.

These guys are doing these stuff deliberately to get us pissed off.

They know deep down that they are lying but they just have to do it anyway

Minimum wage in UK is around £1500 per month and you can get up to 700 liters with that rate

This people should stop deceiving us by making us feel UK is not for the weak

Attention seeker..hes being paid in pounds.
Thats less than 5% of his monthly pay

I hope they don't try to use this to justify the high cost of Petrol in Nigeria

Nigeria produces about 1.6 million barrels of oil daily. It costs them little to nothing. The oil companies pay for the expenses of drilling, and take about 40% of the oil as compensation according to the agreement. Either party can do whatever they want with their share of the oil.

It’s like an empty plot of land you inherited. A farmer comes along and agrees with you to farm on the land with his own tools and workers, and you both share the proceeds of the harvest 60 : 40.

Nigeria’s share of the oil is about 900,000+ barrels daily. Nigerians consume only about 300,000 barrels daily.

If Nigeria chooses to sell 300,000 barrels of crude to local refineries at the $50 budget benchmark, local refineries can sell petrol to Nigerians at the regular price. The Iranian war will not affect Nigerians.

Nigeria still has 600,000+ barrels of crude to export or sell at the prevailing international price.

I am putting this information out there so that you can ask your politicians the right questions and put pressure on them to do the right thing.

LoL but you still dey dia and no be today you don dey there o,.. we all get your type as friend .

UK has constant electricity
Better wage
Better transport

Nigeria I have not seen 48 hours constant light in more than 20 years

Dullards have come again o

1. Minimum wage is NOT NGN70,000. After allowances added, it comes to NGN110,000

2. Many Nigerians earn far more than minimum wage(bankers, telcom workers, oil company workers etc etc).

Honestly nowadays everybody dey hustle with rubbish news..

Twitter na headquarters

U no get return ticket back to naija?

Siddon dey yarn
Return and let's buy fuel for N500/litre

No need to lament, come back to Nigeria. Nigeria is cheaper, safer and very beautiful...

This same lamentation.

It is becoming irritating - If you are tired of UK, come to Nigeria and enjoy the cheaper petrol

House rent is how much per litre ??

Nigeria is sweet.

If you are earning at least 4 times what you were earning before Tinubu became president, you are good to go.

Go to filling stations and see queues...

Let him come back and earn in Nigeria, so he can pay at N1250 per litre.

Tinibulation dey reach una over there?

This is diesel, not petrol. Be informed.

If you are really suffering over there in UK then come over to Nigeria if you believe Nigeria is better.

Is not just the Fuel prize. From what he is saying, another inflation has come like double inflation, first trigger was Ukraine and now second second trigger the strait of Hurmuz.

What happens when one of the major route for shipping crude oil is blocked. Most of the ships carry crude oil or refined oil to major consumers like Europe, USA and China. Crude oil is used in other industries to make pharmaceuticals, fertilizers, natural gas, and more. Without enough supply, the price goes up, and other industries are affected.

Although Saudi Arabia, has created an alternative route, but it would take a long time to build infrastructure to match demand.

Therefore we are looking at another recession. Less Jobs, more costs in general. So it is not just fuel, its food, accomodation, transportation, Medical care etc.

Things are still cheaper in Nigeria than most of these western countries,the only difference is the opportunity to get job and get good pay which are available over there than our country.

Oga you are already in Uk. Thank your God and face you small issues please. We are dealing,with, electricity, unemployment, insecurity, corruption,dirt's,bad roads,and add other things you can imagine

Diesel is for efficient than petrol. You cover roughly 30% more distance over petrol.

Pls come back home, petrol is cheap here.

Foolish boy. UK get crude oil pass Nigeria?

Mad people everywhere

That's a 5 hour wage for an average paying job.
It's like complaining that 53 liters of fuel is 3k here.

How can you say a whole you is suffering in naija, abi part of the national cake is not reaching you despite all the ass kissing?

Okay... Come back to Naija on the next available flight.

You will buy it cheaper here.

I thought this online idiocy among recently migrated Nigerians (japarians) ended last year.

That’s the stinginess I am talking about. Trying to get every penny out of their money.

Why should I be driving a diesel sedan when I am not towing with it.
