Who is telling you people all these lies? As someone that's lived in multiple continents, this your comment doesn't worth a response
I don't know where you have lived or that you are planning to live but with 150 million naira investment including your home, you are ok in Nigeria if it is in an average city. You can have over ten million naira per annum spending money without touching your capital and that is more than enough for a retiree. The one that have sense

He goofed with the 60k figure. Perhaps because, like most political leaders paid very well, he is disconnected with how Nigerians do not earn wages to cover their living expenses.

I believe if per capita income can improve so the average Nigerian is earning 300k to 400k monthly then majority of Nigerian would be happy and fulfilled.

Bwala got the figure wrong horribly and patronisingly but his central point is correct which is that Nigerians can live better in Nigeria than foreign nations on the right income.

Yea, you're right. If the income were ok nobody will think of Japa. The working environment in Nigeria is less stressful compared to foreign countries.
Our leaders are doing well, so they don't feel the impact of the economy.

If not for the free money he is eating here, he too will be in that UK as well.

APC supporters will soon tell us that the man earning 60k has no business being in the city, he should be in one remote village cause that is where is 60k will make him live like a millionaire.

Thanks for the polite response. This is something many Nairalanders don't have the maturity to key into.

The bolded is correct. Nigeria can be a great nation, with happy and productive people, if we work on what it will take for people to earn income that will allow them to meet all their needs.

This is what we must work on. I want a Dubai-like template for Nigeria. So many worldwide are moving to Dubai. Anthony Joshua moved there permanently recently.

What they are doing right is using the wealth of their nation to develop their people and nation.

Education, property development, fair tax environment, business opportunities etc there is top notch. That is what we have to do. It is not Rocket Science

One thing about most Nigerians is that they are quick to pick the little wrongs abroad to compare with Nigeria but when it comes to the good things, they turn a blind eye or say Nigeria is younger than those countries and we too will get there. Only a lazy person and an always flexing one will earn such amount over there and say earning 60k here is better.

Do you know the UK at all. Try insuring a V6 performance vehicle na. You'd be quoted like £3,000 upwards. Nigeria, I Have 4 cars in Nigeria with 3 being V6 and high performance engines. Insurance for them is circa 15,000 Naira for third party.

Renting in London, anywhere, will be at least like £1,500 to £2,000 monthly for even the cheapest 1 bedroom flat. What is wrong with you people? These are the facts.

I am not telling you or anyone I hate the UK. Just saying that it is currently a very expensive nation many feel is about earning to pay taxes and bills. This is why many are leaving the nation for good.

Look at how even a double room in London Bridge is £1500 per calender month. How much is the average Briton earning per month? £2,200
.
See the facts as presented below.
All these things you typed are not true.

Must you live in London? 🤷

There are plenty of good towns with almost everything London has, apart from the bubbling nightlife and a better bus network.

Besides, London pays High Cost Area allowance, meaning anyone working there earns a higher salary, just like in any other big city.

Anyone complaining to you is simply living above their means.

How many people even drive V6 cars in the UK? Most people still drive manual cars with diesel engines.

Do you know insurance actually pays you when you're involved in an accident? How many insurance companies in Nigeria actually pay for accidents?

People are only deceiving themselves with that nonsense insurance they are doing in Nigeria.

Nobody is as economical as people in the UK.

Make people no dey tell you all these lies. It is not true at all.

If you think the UK is expensive, please try Canada. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Those ones are suffering and smiling. 😁

So you are the one to determine where you will live and jobs will come and find you there? Well there is no where to live that you are safe from the pressure anywhere in the world. There is no city of success too according to a Yoruba saying but heads of success

Someone earning 70k in nigeria cant pay rent money?
If you earn 70k per month in ibadan, you can never afford to pay rent

A room selfcon cost between 400k to 800k (not even estate) except you don't mind a dilapidated building or outskirt of Ibadan then you can get 200k room selfcon)

Bruv, stay in your lane. What do you know? You likely haven't set foot outside Nigeria let alone lived in a nation like the UK for a long period of time to appreciate my point.
I may be your destiny helper

Lol. This is another example you're a typical Nigerian invested in the system of weaponised poverty fashioned against the people by leaders.

In developed nations, where human resources are developed optimally, have you ever heard the term "destiny helper"?

No, because those nations have created a system where you are responsible for your own success or failure rather than believing in some garbage notion of "destiny helper".
