Samguine:
The drivers in your company is earning 110k. Great. How many drivers earn that amount monthly?

Now, consider the cost of food all across the nation. One pack of spaghetti is 1k. A crate of eggs is almost 6k. Even someone who earns above 200k is complaining. Things are bad in Nigeria bro. Go outside. From Lagos to Maiduguri. Do you know a tuber of yam is cheaper here than it is in Nigeria? Here, with 10 pounds, (less than the minimum wage), you can stock up food that will last you for a week. These are the issues.




Omo!! In this same Nigeria?



The issue I have with what you are saying is the fact that everything you've been saying is "me, me, me, me, me". You are just one out of 200m people. How are others surviving? Do you go to the market? Are people happy? Are Nigerians happy? Remove the focus from yourself for a minute and imagine the pains of millions of Nigerians.




I lived in Lagos bro. I experience these. The aviation industry is experiencing issues because people cannot afford to fly, mostly. Lagos to Abuja, one-way flight, is about 100k. I flew from London to Nuremberg for 28 Euros. That is about 55k. Can't you see the difference




You should not be bragging about 24-hour light in 2024. You don't get it?? Electricity is not a big deal here. Nobody celebrates 24 hours of light here. It is a constant k. That is the level we want Nigeria to get to.

Nigerians never rely on their salaries, maybe because it is never enough? You can live well on your salary here, whether you are a carer washing bum bum, a security, or the CEO of an organization. If you plan enough, you salary is enough to sustain you and live a good life.





Again, read up on credit-based systems. It is not a bad thing. Also, know that not everyone automatically qualifies for credit. You have to be creditworthy. On a good day, I want to be in a country that works. And we need Nigeria to work for not just people like you, but for everyone.

We are not vacation people? Simply because we can't afford it . How would you know the value of a thing if you have not experienced it?

Security guards live in their own houses and buy cars, in Nigeria? Do you mean Dangote's security or that man that guards the banks and asks you for 100 Naira to feed when you go to deposit money?



Again, read up about credit-based systems. Whether you purchased It outright, or with credit, it is yours.




Again, look away from yourself. You are just one out of a million people. You probably have access to insurance. How many Nigerians can afford insurance? How many communities in Nigeria have access to the government hospital you have access to? In the case of an emergency, you Nigerians access an ambulance?

You need to understand how the medical/health system here works. You do not just have access to random drugs. People bring drugs because it is not easy to buy drugs here. The system is regulated to prevent abuse of drugs. A report says that some strains of malaria are now resistant to some antibiotics we use in Nigeria because of abuse. Is that okay?




No bro. I have spent about 9 months here, since that time:

- No blink in my electricity. For 9 months. I do not even think about electricity again. It is a constant k for us here
- I have never heard of fuel scarcity or seen a fuel queue.
- Food is cheap. If I work for 3 hours, I can buy food that we last me for a month. I want Nigerians to have this same privilege
- I applied for a Schengen visa after two months here. I got it. Access to over 20 countries. I am not sure I will even get an interview date in Nigeria.

Moving to the UK has changed my life Bro and I wish every Nigerian will experience the change in life I have too. If anyone does not fancy japa and wants to stay in Nigeria, that's okay too. That means we have to ensure Nigeria works for everyone.

There is no way you will experience abroad and think we are doing well in Nigeria. No way!

Bro pls I beg you don't respond to him again, please.

Who in their right sense compares Nigeria to the UK? Pls who?

A kg of gas now is around #1800, a litre of Petrol in most filling station is around #1250.

Light that he claims to enjoy 24/7, pls ask him how many areas in Nigeria enjoys that? Maybe 5% of the entire land mass

Pls, don't just reply him.
Most people like him are just pained they don't have the resources to travel out, I assure you if he does he won't be around.

There's too much lies and hurt from people opposing the op information here.

I won't be responding to any of you guys again.
Someone said he would rather use an older model of a car what a fat big lie.

Who enjoyed a corolla 2003 when he can get a 2020 model of the said car..

Pls stop all this nonsense lies, you just can't afford it simply put.

Funny enough, just say you don't have the financial resources to fund your japa, simple.

And if you are doing well here that's not a ground to belittle those abroad, by far they are doing great.

Pls I will unfollow this thread as it's making me mad with some very annoying comments from some individuals here..

femi4:
We have many Nigerians in abroad now more than before, they can't sell those cheap lies again

Most of them spend their resources on their family back home, they would have even saved more

True though

femi4:
Pure lies
Some of you just sit there and put jargons together

The least you can go home with in the UK after tax is £2000

To useless your analysis, a partner single handedly paid her hubby outstanding school fees of £8500 in 9 months

Food n transport is your least worry in the UK. You can't exhaust £200 on food if you eating their local foods and till date bus of £2 still exist.

So, to n fro in a week is £20, and £80 in a month

Thanks bro enlightenment,
So many lies that our people abroad has sold to us here.

galserv:
Not saying they don't. But they have to pay for it over decades...
And then the bills they incur for owning such cars is killing.

It's still some of the benefits of being abroad bro.

You can get a 2022 model of Toyota and be cruising round while you pay small small over a decade.

But not in Nigeria, here in Nigeria most car users are still struggling with a 1998 - 2006 model cars

Imagine bro there's absolutely nothing a single government policy that we enjoyed in Nigeria, I mean nothing.

fastseo:
I just de graduate from school, i never get my self finish then make i help u commot for Naija.

If u need info... Its school i used to japa

I want to believe he meant info, but then the info is worthless if you don't have the financial means.

To travel out now is extremely expensive, the only reason people still does is that the end always justify the means.

But getting the info is a good start too, plus your story is also a motivation.

fastseo:
Buy weekly tick to cover all town within ur zone... It cost like 30 pounds per week. Then u cam travel 1 million times as u like in both train . Government has subsidies transport.

Nigeria was okay before APC destroyed it

Wow

So literally, you could just subscribe for transport a week and then ride all week long.

Also, the subscription fee is like a few hours of the day job wages.

Fantastico

Mariangeles:
It's sad that one could be sent back home if they're not able to complete payment.

Very sad
Very sad

Mariangeles:
It appears you were doing well in Nigeria though.

Am sure he didn't pay the sch fee once.
I think there's a deposit that is needed for your cas issuance maybe £4000 minimum or so

Then when you arrive you gas pay up to some certain percentage maybe 50% of the total fee, then I think balance up at the commencement of your second academic calendar.

So that's where people have issues, most people just struggle to get £4000 paid, so when they arrive there's this pressure from the sch to pay in some more percent of the sch fee.

So without a job, you'd be frustrated meeting up

fastseo:
Good things i mean things to make me leave like a human , living a modest lifestyle without depending on others. Being able to cater for family while saving up for my children to secure their future. Am not referring to king and queen lifestyle or the lifestyle of tinubu and ur nigerian politicians

Secondly not everyone eats meat..my doctors ask me to stay away from meat. Hope that answers ur questions

Bro I must commend you, you try..
Replying to some of the comments here annoys me

I have a family frnd in the UK that has 3 good Bez, bought house in the UK, built a mad house here, guess what?

He has like 2 benz, his wife does too..
They left around Dec. 2021.

Now when they were both here wife nurse, husband na one of this paramilitary, they were using a very rekecty EOD, life was a little hard so to say.

But within their 3years in the UK, they had acquired things and assets that if they were in Nigeria, maybe in 20years time sha. But they achieved within 3years.


See, funny enough, they always complain that poor UK is tougher oo this and that..

You know why? So people don't bill them, as they are still busy stocking wealth for themselves.

People like them always say, ahhh don't come to the UK oo
Don't come oo
Nigeria will still be good but they themselves doesn't want to return home, and are living large over there.

Again, I commend you bro
Thanks

galserv:
Minimum wage announced is BASIC SALARY.

There is a payslip. And one of the components in the breakdown is basic salary.

Also, Nigerians almost NEVER rely on salary.

A filling station attendant can be living in his own house. Same goes for drivers, gatemen etc

How many people use cars abroad?

How affordable is fuel abroad?

How affordable is rent abroad?

How affordable is power abroad?

How debt-free are people abroad?

The 500 pounds savings you mentioned only has value in Nigeria

I enjoy 24hours power supply. My main roads are okay.

Hellooooo...

Nigerians abroad use cars ooo
Make them no deceive you ooo
I know what am saying ooo

Nigerians abroad ride good cars bro
I meant cars that most of them can never acquire or dream of buying it they had remained in Nigeria..
I know what am saying ooo..
So many of them just try to remain low-key so homebase family won't bill them


They come here and build mad houses back home.

And yet they do this same jobs for £12 hourly pay. Bro relax, what you don't know, you don't know.

diamond68:
no matter where e Dey live for uk 12 pounds an hour is chicken change and hard living. People wey dey make 100 pounds an hour Dey cry about hardship talk less of 12 an hour.

Baba dey try reduce your lie nau..
And also try not to bad mouth this guy, at least someone is sharing it's honest view of things, and here you are saying otherwise.

Biko easy bro..

A cleaner o
A guide o
A carere oo

They all earn hourly pay.
Even doctors early a little above that £12 per hour so what are you saying.?

Relax bro

diamond68:
bros no Dey deceive people for here, security guards are struggling to make ends meet in the uk. You can’t even afford rent in London as a security guard. It’s house share or council house. Why you Dey deceive people na ?

Must you stay in London??

London is like the Abuja of Nigeria, it's for the extreme business class, there are less expensive cities in the UK where rent is still around £500 - £800 for a 2bed room

SOLD

BlindAngel:

Did I just read that only the first 50 cars get free installation?

What happened to the rest? So 50 cars is what FG will start using to scream free CNG as though they have converted all the yellow buses in Lagos.

That's so unfair

And by the way, this CNG used to be way cheaper than this like a year ago when someone on Nairaland posted content on the conversion process, now it's gradually becoming gold.

Whoever wrote this article needs to be arrested and arranged for false information..

How would you come with such information? Toyota Corolla for a million?

And you even said Lexus es 250 is fuel efficient? Like seriously?


Even those taxi nissan doesn't go for a million

I am ashamed of this..

The men of the command didn't act professionally, They ought to known that this is likely to be a two man operation.

The suspect should have been allowed to withdraw the funds, then they trail him to see where he would go next or who he would meet with.

Now according to his account the main criminal "Jude" who sent him to retrieve the funds fled haven saw how the whole withdrawal thing played out.

Rapmoney:
There is this local restaurant I used to eat any time I visit Warri. Omo, na so I enter Mama Teguolo restaurant say make I chop. The food I bought (based on low budget) cost N1500. This is the same food I used to buy by this time last year for N400. The inflation rate in Nigeria is really terrible.

For those people who like screaming, 'Plant your own food, plant your own food', I guess we should also rear our own cattle, goats, sheep, ram, chickens, etc and also refine our own crude oil, manufacture our own cars all in our backyard. We should also look for ways to generate our own electricity individually because the electricity that is given to us is costly.

It is shameful that there are Nigerian youths who still give excuses on behalf of the government. Sometimes, I wonder the essence of education to the Nigerian youth when they make cases for people whose corrupt practices have destroyed the economy and social life of the citizens.

Nigerian youths are busy blaming one pastor or another..

Righthussle:
Oga, that man lies a lot

So he's the course of the numerous issues in Nigeria na?

Stay there dey play.
Don't face your govt..

Righthussle:
Nigerians still sidon for house dey listen to Adeboye miracle stories of how him use handkerchief take grow brand new breast and Akpabio wey say national anthem for stop banditry. Wetin these old people dey smoke I no know.

If old Nigerians can stop lying, we'll have a better country.

Must you bring Adeboye into this??

Most of you still don't realise that it seems our government from the past administration has been using some sort of jazz to make it's citizens focus on something else entirely.

At this age, who we should be angry at is the government not Adeboye, not any other person that's not in government..

Hello...

Our rage should be on this govt and the past administration.

Terrible individuals, I just can't phantom it, like seriously we leave the main issue every day and thrill Papa Adeboye today, tomorrow we throll Oyedepo, next tomorrow we pick someone else but not The president, not the state government..

Like seriously are we really serious in this nation..

Funny enough that most people can't take what they throw at others..

In that same song of his, he was busy attacking Daddy G.O

He could have just simply faced Tinubu and and hardship of the land, but no..

Same way Daddy freeze was busy attacking Pastors sometimes ago, but what happened when someone called him out for an alleged COS Scam? He couldn't take it, he went online began to rant.

You see, it's easier to attack others, but the question is, the same way those you attacked took it can you?

If they are to react the same way you are reacting, will you be able to withstand the heat?

maxiuc:
oga I can't speak of what I don't know when you take 100% of congregation tithes and 100% of Minister's tithes Wetin come remain that's means the church is empty if you want me to go into details I will oOoOO because I can't speak of what I don't know of but of things i have handled for years

You see again, I said you lied..
What you handled is false, go and ask your leaders very well, there's has been no time that RCCG takes 100% of both tithe and offering.

Pls again, don't spread false information...
I have handled and still does both remittance for conventional and youth church and there has been no time we REMIT 100%

Like I said, you need to ask your leaders..

maxiuc:
money generating entity that's what I see now in RCCG.

Have it in mind that RCCG has the criminal pastors with questionable characters

Every single church/denominations generate money sir, even the churches of Apostle Femi Lazarus does, and other Apostles..

Go and do your findings..
Stop bad mounting RCCG.
Even winners does, Dunamis and co too are not left out.

Biko rest sir.

Wotowotoman:
See as you dey talk revenues go up like say na real business wey hardworking men dey work for. These so called yahoo yahoo grandfathers wey dey call themselves GO and pastors will be drinking tea with satan in the hottest part of hellfire…

You see, you are so very ignorant.. And I just won't respond to you..

You pple shd go and rest pls. I don't have time.

So because the mission does not bring to social media what it does, doesn't mean they are silent.

Pls go and learn sir.
I won't respond to your replies again, you are very ignorant.
Thanks

maxiuc:
how many percentage is that

I was incharge of Remittance in parish and we have over 7 parishes under us, the percentage that remains is not even enough to pay rent pay some church workers and other impress just go and discuss this with any parish pastor let them school you properly

Remittance was what I did for 6yrs and I have enough knowledge about what transpired

RCCG has been reduced to a Money making agency nolonger for soul winning

RCCG is the worse place to go and seek for help because the church purse is always empty every month members tasks themselves in order to meet up with the church needs

Oga don't drag me on this you know nothing about what going on there

Hello, i don't want to discuss this on Open space.
For the sake of the mission, I will let you rest on this.

But sir, I disagree with you, like I said, you see, I agree with some of your assertions here but not entirely.

Marvfem:
you don't know what you are saying,are you trying to justify they shouldn't do any remittance to the main headquarter.there is always a percentage that the parish do take not all taken to the head

God bless you sir.
Pls disregard that man sir.
I am highly disappointed in him..

The percentage of what goes up is less than 40% of the total money that comes in. I stand on this fact.

His part of those that gives the mission a bad name.

I have seen pastors who literally sits on whatever funds the church generate and lies that it goes up.
And also, some leaders over task the parishes under them, thereby making them feel like everything goes up, while in the real sense, less than 40% of whatever you think you generated In a month goes up.

But you see some leaders ehn..
They over levi most of this parishes, thereby making the people feel like everything goes up which is false.

maxiuc:
you don't have ideas of what goes in RCCG . It is now business I was an admin for 6 years in one big parish in Abuja I know Wetin my eyes see money has been prioritize over members spiritual well-being.

Do you know what is called Remittance RCCG doesn't joke with that I just don't want to go into details

But have it in mind that RCCG is something else now

Sir, I beg to differ sir..

You are one of those that give this mission bad name. Did you also mention that literally a few percent of whatever comes into the church is remitted? You didn't mention that sir, and you are or were an admin oo..

Pls let's stop all this habits.
If you were under a pastor that loved money that's not a licence to judge the church as a whole.
The percentage of what goes up as people used to say is less than 40% of whatever comes in..

I think our pastors need to do better and stop giving this mission a bad name.
Am disappointed at this comment.

fullclub:


I read it. How will a planes not have where to charge and mount such device? Think.

Those planes are brand new and latest series

It is well sir,
I just read air peace reply..

fullclub:
They are not happy that he entered their airspace. The big airlines will look for ways to keep hitting him hard while the half baked brain filled with hate for their fellow Africans join them






What do u even understand in the write up... Nothing



Electronic Flight Bag is a device that is used to manage and display a variety of aviation data, it's like a computerise gadget replacing traditional paper-based materials.
This new system is widely used in USA as its better than paper chart. The goal is to facilitate a paperless flight.

This show airpeace is ahead and using latest technology.

Why the British chose to stick to the old way remains a thing I don't know

Pls read the article nau..

The UK authority accused air peace of not getting an approval for using it. They even mentioned that one of her pilots attested to using the device for navigation

And also, they accused them of not mounting the device while being used, it's like holding a GPS device while driving without properly mounting it, even Uber drivers are advised to always mount Thier phones to help them focus while driving..

also, no charging points provided to ensure the device is on and operational at all times, also no battery backups..

Simply put, it means perhaps they use an handheld device, without charging while in air, also no extra battery available just in case the device goes drained..

I think sir peace needs to respond to this and do the needful, Lagos to UK is a long flight, and we wouldn't want to put our people's lives in danger.

I think it's time we look into this issue..

It's becoming annoying, you pay so much with no value, some of the channels had been removed from some of this plans to lure one into subscribing for a higher plan

Any free to air? Like strong decoder and co?
