Politics › Re: Cost Of Living In Nigeria Is Cheaper Than UK Or US by reddingtonblack: 10:24pm On Dec 03, 2023
psalmsjob:
You guys focus on the money earned but not on what the money earned can purchase....the purchasing power of the money. See another analysis for you to stop Lmao ; works for the standard 8 hours per day and earning £10 per hour and he works for 5 days a week; he would have earned = £10 x 8 hours = £80/ day x 5 days/week = £400/week x 4 weeks = £1,600 per month. With this earning bobo londoner is taking nothing home at month end and cannot afford to buy that kind of £10 food every day if he does he might be in debt see why:

Now for bobo pays average of £1,480 for house rent monthly and pays average of £140 for transportation to work. That's £1,480 + £140 = £1,600 per month ONLYgrin. If bobo londoner tries to buy his £10 food everyday as man must wak that's £10 x 30 days = £300 per month.

Therefore, bobo londoner must werk grin on Saturdays to survive that's £80 x 6 days × 4 weeks = £1,920 - £1,480 - £140 - £300 = £0.00 per month grin

So Bobo Londoner must werk grin on Sundays to have £80 at every month end grin

Workers in Nigeria do not work on Saturdays and Sundays before you start your comparison again grin
I can't believe you came back to spew rubbish again after it was made obvious your post was a blunder inspired from myopic reasoning

How can someone who earn £10 per hr go for houses of £1400 a month, even when the screenshot you attached stated social workers go for houses within range £200- £800. why not try £700
What will you gain trying falsify what is a public knowledge, cost of living abroad is better cos the purchasing power is on a good rate plus, employment rate is also good these are the factors that influences standard of living and cost of living.
Lastly, need i remind your ignorant ass bankers OAP, civil engineers, mechanics works on saturday and nurses/doctors, lasma, police, presenters or journalist work on sundays.

Ordinary carton of chicken is more than #30k minimum and you dare open a thread to spew gibberish

No man born of a woman can cross Vanessa using false marriage promises as bait grin.

If you need sex, Open up and be genuine with your intentions. when once you starts with marriage, I know immediately that you're a clown and still a baby in the game and I will play you the game till you become so useless.

I have done that to couples of men, sadly , today they're so useless . They foolishly sold every of their properties just to see Vanessa's pant. Men men men chai grin and today I am the Jezebel cheesy and I agreed totally.
It is good to know Men sold properties to see your 3 for #1200 pants but aunty how many properties are in your name now undecided

if you can't point to properties then you are as foolish as those men

Oga ,if you convert to naira, that's #14k in Nigerian currency . #14k can buy everything there and you will still have change
The point you missed is that, which job or class of people earn 14k per day in Nigeria

Nigeria minimum wage is 30k meaning wages per day is less than 2k, bread is now 1300
if i want to eat bread, tea and egg + sausage with pepper 2k no reach me.

In the USA and UK foods is very cheap. Food there is nothing. Have you heard of food banks? They give food for free. I personally use to do dumpster diving in those days as a student (Google dumpster diving) come see fresh food na that people no longer need. My fridge was usually full with all kinds of foods... Light bill, water bill, etc that is the Koko! It's only in Nigeria I see so much surprise for things that are normal in other countries.
In Nigeria is Light and water free, do people not pay to get these things, maybe you should ask your neighbour how much bag of pure water cost

The good thing about Abroad is that you are in charge and can easily regulate your bills to fit into your per income, for instance the cable tv are pay per view and there are several transport options to suite your budget compared to Nigeria where everything is almost like an "organized EXTORTION" with lil or no options.
Someone living in a one room apartment can get a crazy nepa bill as high as 10k per month doesnt matter what your utility, No active regulatory body or consumer protection shouldn't that bogg you more instead of being surprise @ innocent Nigerians

Food is cheap in UK and even USA... Try buying anything outside food then you will know Nigeria isn't TOTALLY bad.
How about you run a survey on what consumes junk of an average Nigerian per income, Food or other things undecided

What makes Nigeria totally bad is that the purchasing power is as low as low as chances of making good money.
"Buying"...won't be a problem where there is high promixity to secure a job and earn,

In Nigeria so many willing hands but No job,that is TOTALLY bad.

Rent and utilities na the Koko, not food

Even homeless people get free food
Rent and utilities won't be an issue where there is high proximity to savings

Those food items will last her 4days even if she eat like glutton, ask pocohantas
In Nigeria minimum wage is 30k meaning per day some people earn less than 2k, where 10k can't even get you standard life for 1week
when you calculate how much you spend on food & transport alone it will beat your rent.
Minimum wage can't even buy palli chicken, kiss these xmas na raffle draw we go take share food give neighbours undecided

All of a sudden an imaginary group sprangs up and start defending the government Sponsored ethnic profilling going on in Lagos. You destroy what you cant build,thats the definition of retrogressive spirit.
The so called Yoruba professionals should save there explanations,this is no longer the era of Lagos-Ibadan parapo press,when you write thrash Propaganda and the unsuspecting public will digest it. The Social media,Ereporters,witnesses armed with there phones and cameras have been recording the selective demolition of properties aimed at Igbos,going on in Lagos,as a fallout of the flawed elections.
I can assure you,whatever cannot kill a man only makes him stronger,our antagonists are our helpers.The South East is fast turning to a massive construction site. We shall all see the fallout of this Yoruba tribalistic agenda.
Holding on to the Victimization card can without evidences was the same mistake your ancestors did and 100yrs after you people have learnt nothing
The yorubas won't just fold there hands and watch such dumbos claim they are the only one rain and sun beat,
Social media era means does not just justify making false accusations and claims, it won't help any tribe, why not conduct due intelligent report and show us stats that depict Igbos are the most affected in SW.
The same demolition exercise going on in Lagos happened in Anambra hypocrites like you where nowhere to be found.

Turn South east to whatever una like, But one thing is forever sure the East can never witness a better transformation than West till the end.

Proactive measure is still the best. The govt should find means to proactively prevent people from.building wrecklessly, it should not be a thing of pride to go about demolishing houses, it lacks human face and empathy.

If there are no proactive measure, 20years from now the next govt would still be demolishing houses and the cycle continues. Some people stubbornly break-through law but there are others that genuinely didn't know some of the lands belongs to the govt because there are no notice anywhere for people to see. Some that even go to the govt office to check might still be scammed.

It's not enough top post a picture of a house blocking a canal and use it as an alabi, what about those in Abule Ado, were they also blocking the canal?
The best preventive measure is ensure everyone sees there are "CONSEQUENCES"

if you keep preventing a child from putting his/her hand inside the fire is age mates won't learn lesson.

In america you don't see traffic officers preventing or chasing after any car cos the road commuters are fully aware Consequences await them, no getting away

Are you kidding, should it be govt perogative to prevent people from being foolish

How can you investment 100s of millions on a land you know is has comma or illegal,
How many of these ridiculous victims in Lagos can come and present a C of O or provide evidences of govt approval.

IF you have evidences of govt approval on those properties marked in abule Ado kindly post it now.

We can't keep blaming govt for everything when people are making stupid decisions.
most of these victims were warned instead they will seek by pass and offer bribe not knowing they are postponing judgement day

When fools and illiterates are in power, this is always the outcome. That act by the fóolish Lagos state government cannot be rationalized or justified, except idiots that will have contrary opinions. Fools are always opportuned to rule Lagos.

No wonder a certificate forger and a drug peddler pocketed the whole state. That's what happens when the majority are illiterates, ironically , they're the ones claiming sophistication, shame!
Will you shut your mouth, If you must criticize can't you people find something more meaningful other than playing the victimization card.

How can a sensible human being assert that the timing for demolition of illegal structure is wrong, so when exactly can you demolish people's property and it won't hurt or pain the owners.
which day, month or semester is favourable to demolish illegal structures and the owners will be full of appreciation and smiles

Peter Obi is a big fool, where was he when soludo was demolishing properties.

Just look at the nonsense you are spewing, what is the differences between those you tagged "criminals" and developers that knowingly acquire illegal lands ..
The most annoying part, the developers and land buyers are fully aware those land get comma but they always believe with bribe they can have there way

There is no moral, emotional or logical justification to being penny wise pound foolish. how can you have a building worth 100m in mind and settle for an illegal land, thats insanity
Properties › Re: Lady Damages Her Apartment After Landlord Refused To Refund Her Caution Fee by reddingtonblack: 4:46pm On Nov 27, 2023
Pearlqueen:
This is a mistake some of us make. If you say the landlord breached the agreement, how did he? Was it an oral rejection made by the Landlord not to refund the caution fee, was their conversation recorded or documented which can be used as an evidence?

If it was oral, without any evidence, this tenant could pay for all damages done if the landlord wishes to push the case further.

She would have simply contacted the lawyer in charge of the building or reported the matter where it can be legally addressed.
One thing you forget is that, damages/caution fees are charges that are conventional i.e formalistic charges

Judges/Lawyers and even law enforce agents are aware of these charge.

In cases if litigation, most transaction are via bank transfer thats evidence and
co-tenants or Agent can serve as prime witnesses.

The Landlord has no legal grounds to demand or push for an increase in caution fee, post-agreement. if my caution fee move in is 50k, if damages leaving, is worth 100k the landlord can't do nada under the law, naa him loss

dominique:
She deserves to be arrested, is the caution fee worth the amount of damages she caused? How many months did she live there rent free? Tenants believe if they're given six months quit notice, they're free to live in the apartment rentfree till the duration elapses. How much did she stay without paying rent before finally moving out? The landlord must make sure she pays for every single damage caused, pay for the extra months she stayed then give her the caution fee. Insufferable people like these is why some of us are weary about building apartments for rent.
where ever you have an apartment built i will intentionally cumma rent and show you shege pro max,

i will run the apartment like a shrine and hotel undecided

You seem not to understand the
Nigerian education system, which is
the British system.

You don't jump from secondary school
and start the main degree programs.
That is basically jumping from WAEC to
200-Level, which some of these neighboring
countries are offering Nigerians.

After leaving secondary school, you must
do A-Levels, ND, Preliminary, or 100-Level.

Once you've completed any of the above,
then you commence the degree program
proper, which is the 200-Level.

After 100-Level, the shortest university
course is 3 years, while the longest of
5 years are medical courses & Architecture ( with Masters).
It is you that need to understand, that Nigeria runs a similar educational system with the UK does not mean both system must be or are homogenous.

Nigeria practice democracy just as USA practice democracy but is it fully the same.

Every country has its own standards and modifications, this is Nigeria don't know why you keep emphasising on UK, or do you still live in the colonial era.
