What an insult to Nigerians by Bwala. Somebody earning above £2,600 is far above a person earning 500k in Nigeria. There are many houses in London that go for £500 per month. Why go £700 or £800?

TopBanter:
Bwala has a valid point because Nigerians in Britain are burdened by hugely high cost of living.

He did not even include so many other expenses like Council tax etc. If you run a Car, big chunk of money to drive and insure.

After all that though, claiming Nigerians earning 60k Naira monthly are better off than Britons on £2800 is arrogant in my opinion and indicative of how Nigerian leaders are over-privileged and disconnected from the daily struggle and plight of the average Nigerian.

I believe, even conservatively, every Nigerian requires 300k monthly to meet their living expenses.

Naaa, they are actually more burdened by beggars from Nigeria with their daily begging.

You bunch of dubious supporters will say hellfire is cooler than heaven

Somebody is telling you d fact u are saying nonsense

Is he saying this while half fool or half empty?

Fujiyama:
^^^ BAT can't risk frequent media chats. He will score several spectacular own goals. Even with extremely friendly, overly deferential interviewers, he hasn't done well at all. How will he fare against the Mehdi Hassans of this world?

Ah! Mehdi Hassan, the another bullsheeter out there!

hegelian:
we are in trouble in this country with the type of people that speak for the government... how can a spokesperson to the president be this stupid, callous, wicked, mischiveous, out of touch, ignorant, wicked and braindead like this bwala guy?? we he himself said you dont need brain to defend tinubu, no one with a functioning brain can defend tinubu in all honesty

He didn't support anyone or party he was just saying fact that you can find out yourself

Elusive001:
One can do a lot with even less than N60k. Example is, one can sell his soul to the devil for even N5k like many APC/Tinubu’s supporters.

And what will 5k get anyone in present day Lagos, Port Harcourt, Abuja, Kano, Ibadan?

Go and find out who is a fool between both of you..

So if you earn 600k and can 2 houses, That means soeone that earn 2400 in UK and can save(not earn) that 600k can own 3 or 4 houses. My point is that every other thing being equal(same level of financial wisdom, same kind of investment, same kind of management skill) the person that earns 2400pounds is far far better than the person earning 600k naira

Yes if the person can send 500 pounds to Nigeria monthly

The house am talking about are not mansion but something comfortable

Bwala has no point becos he only gave a break down of british €2600 and clever by quarter dodged how 60k a month can make anyone comfortable ...jow much is rent, ordinary self contain in abule egba total package is 1.6m n above

Beala said in Nigeria you have aunties or uncle that will be dashing you Money .....How true is that statement

You that you are shouting Bwala is right, how many sister or uncle they pay your bills for you and lets even assume you are luck your aunty n family are donating money to you, what about millions of Nigerians that donthat have uncles n aunties to dash them 100k, 500k

0leaae let us All use our reality abeg .. carry your phone call 10 people you feel love you the most ask for urgent 50k .. count how many i no gallant you go hear

Men like bwala have no basis or life to even Nigerians there experience what does bwala know about needing urgent 2k no one to give

Bwala is just being silly, in Uk there is credit facility assesible to All, there is credit card that isfar better than aunty please , uncle please urgent 2k

The True comparison is Uk minimum wage vs Nigeria minimum wage thats the only valid scale to judge

tell Nigerians naija 70k is better than £12 per hour please let run the maths

Have you ever been to the UK?
Or na hearsay? How much is council tax?
Must you drive a car in UK? How much is bus pass in UK?
Cost of transportation in UK and Nigeria which is higher?
Oga, even 1 million salary in Nigeria, you no reach person wey earn 1500 pounds in UK, if you doubt am go nairaland travel section go ask those students on 20 hours per week.

Fogman:
A BIG fat lie.

With a monthly income of £2,800 in the UK, you can still save over ₦1 million monthly, eat well, and in many ways enjoy a better standard of living than someone earning ₦1 million in Nigeria.

Food is surprisingly affordable in the UK. For example, 1kg of chicken costs about £2, while the same quantity sells for around ₦5,000 in Nigeria. Ask yourself: how long does it take the average worker to earn £2 in the UK compared to ₦5,000 in Nigeria?

The last time I was in the UK, I bought a large pack of offal (tongue, liver, heart, and kidney) for £15. The equivalent quantity in Nigeria would easily cost ₦60,000 or more.

Yes, organ meats are less expensive because most people don't eat them over there. but real beef is expensive. This is not to support what he said, the two countries are different. Survival strategies in both countries differ in many ways. A #60k salary earner in Nigeria can avoid so many essential life nourishing items and bills , while still surviving but it is not the same in the UK.
The truth is that #60k salary in Nigeria amounts to poverty in perpetuity, that person will never be able to afford most things.

The day I go jam Bwala for UK eh, e must call 999 for me, afterall I am undeportable.

Greattha:
You know the interesting thing? After his 8 years of talking rubbish, he would relcate to that same UK with his family to go spend the little he has gathered like all his predecessors...then they too would start earning same £2600...

You'll never see them choose to remain in Nigeria after their disastrous government.

These poeple worship the idea of life in the UK. He probably already has family members there whom he plans to join up with once he has amassed enough Nigerian wealth to do so. He knows all about what you have there and more about the UK than you can imagine.

But, of course, Nigerians love to pretend their politicians are clueless, so they can feel good about what they pretend to know more.

And what will 5k get anyone in present day Lagos, Port Harcourt, Abuja, Kano, Ibadan?

Bros once they don drink garri with kuli-kuli, total N1k and dem step am down with religious and tribal insanity, they are made.

You fit get shared accomodation for London between 700-900.
All these London wey Dem dey first talk, even person wey dey Surrey, Epsom, Sutton dey London.
Birmingham na around 550-650, Solihull, edgbaston.
Coventry na around 400-550.
I dey flip houses for UK, I no wetin I dey talk.

Originalsly:
I don't think he knows the current buying power of the Naira.... and I wouldn't be surprised. People like him just don't know the cost of ordinary stuff. I don't even believe he knows the cost of rent in the UK ... claiming he lives there doesn't mean he knows. I don't .... but don't believe rent is as low as £800 ... maybe yearssss ago. About people dying in the street because of can't afford to survive... that's going too far. Mainly drug addicts and mentally ill persons are the ones who die on the street. Is it a must to exaggerate? ... or to lie?

This one na Oloriburuku. Wetin dem take us for?

Someone needs to take him back to Medhi as e still never get sense.

He won't make that mistake again since that one don show am say his bullsheet no measure up.

Kobojunkie:
No! Making the unfounded claim does not make him foolish. Bullsheeters like your politicians(and we have them everywhere) use the tactic to mine sympathy from the gullible masses. The fools are the gullible masses who eat up their bullsheet.

No doubt ... the masses are the ultimate foolish ones ... who just open mouth and swallow whatever politicians and self declared MoG spit at them.... wouldn't have made a difference if he said 10K or 120k .. but he should respect himself and not be such a blatant liar

slivertongue:
You cannot be in Apc and reason properly

The idiot even said it is possible to run 3 jobs concurrently in the UK. How possible is it to run 2 jobs in Naija?

I run 3 jobs in the UK, earn about 8400€, all those expenses he mentioned takes about 1800€. How is someone in Naija earning 60k Naira better than me?

The Idiot didn't even use the minimum wage of 70k to push his dim witted agenda.

Omo if you can JAPA, do so coz that Government is filled with stupid people at the very upper echelon.

I don't think anybody should be surprised anymore, Bwala, Omokri, FFK, Bayo, Tinubu and most if not all of the APC fellas are like that, so nothing surprising here.

Men and not so gentle ladies, shall we....

Respect himself and not be a blatant liar to what end? Why do you think he should value your respect over his paycheck and possibly the respect of those who hired him to bullsheet you every day?

I hear you ... wouldn't doubt you ... maybe he's talking with that in mind ... and maybe the same with the N60K earner .... shared accommodation life.

There you go continuing to blow smoke up your arse again!

Do you really think that the UK and Dubai were built on just constant electricity? Therein lies your major problem if you do.

Without light you are in darkness nothing will work out for you

Who was he really addressing? because if I dey there I no go leave am finish talk that rubbish.
I can't let him finish that statement in my presence, I would disrupt him and prefer to be dragged out.

60k wey no fit make ordinary passport?
60k naira which is just 3 hours of minimum wage work in UK?
I dey pay conservatory glass cleaner 20 pounds per hour for 2 hours once a month to come clean the glass windows, only that money pass 60k naira.
This useless talk from Bwala dey vex me, anyday I jam Bwala for UK here, una go see the news for this nairaland.
What do these people take us for?
Some of us are gullible and stewpid but definitely not all of us.

Someone earning 70k in nigeria cant pay rent money?

qualitymart:
You can't give what you don't have

When you are Aman of wisdom, words of wisdom will definitely comes out of your mouth

Someone earning 60k in Nigeria can never eat balanced diet twice a day because that's $1.4 per day which is 2000naira

How can a full grown man eat a balanced diet twice in a day for 2000naira?

How can a man pay his rent out of 60,000 per month?

A man earning £2600 per month in UK will save more than 500k naira per month after every expenses whereas a man earning 60k in Nigeria can never afford to eat not to mention paying his rent

Bros, na man you be ooo, I hail you.
I dey earn around 9500 but na 1 job I get and I still get side hustle join.
I hail you because 3 jobs for dis UK no be Akara frying or corn roasting.
