are this people family men? How are u sure that is the only hustle they are doing? Let's do the calculation. If u earn 200k in a year u will have 2.4m. Tell me if 2.4m can buy a car if u a car in Nigeria and that is if u save ur entire salary. Because they have a car or they are building houses doesn't automatically mean it is that 200k that is covering everything.

If you answered the question honestly, there'd be no need for this your writeup. In Nigeria today, there are people whose salary are 200000 or less who own a car.

erico2k2:
nah man, Croydon is ridden with gang wars, and Southall is now Mogadishu no offence.

Lol...Mogadishu go take offense for that your comment o. Anyways let's get back to real issues. To truly understand the weight of a persons argument, a reasonable level of context has to be provided. If sure with more context, Mr Onyema's argument might find more people to agree.
A fact which I believe Mr Onyema can't refute though is that being in the UK legitimately and hustling diligently will provide more dividends in the long run than being in Nigeria. That is irrefutable at least as of today

Blacklion3:
Beautifully composed nonsense

Average9jaman:
It's not the truth now, it's a big lie!

Which part is a lie. Let's do an actual comparison

erico2k2:
If Woolwich is a ghetto what will you call places like Southall and Croydon?

No difference

Blacklion3:
This is the kind of lies the rich tells the poor so that the poor can remain contended with their circumstances.

Oga Allen I will rather earn that 2000 pounds than earn 200k naira.

Wait sef, where is the job offering 200k in Nigeria?
I earn 37k and it lasts just 2weeks.

The problem is that you are conflating the morality of it with the facts. If 37k sustains you for 2 weeks, 80k would probably sustain you for four weeks. 200k would definitely allow you to save. I bet even with 37k, you aren't homeless. 200k can do much more for you.

Should you however settle for 200k!? NO. There's more to be gotten and one must never settle for a finite source as problems/expenses are infinite.

erico2k2:
I worked in Woolwich for 5 years building that Elizabeth line infrastructure and enabling works. So I do not need to read any blogg from anywhere, yes its an area full of diff vice, what do you expect from an old sea man area? its like Takwa bay back in the days, but it has been developed within the past 5 years, been the market has been gotten rid of and a leisure centre is popping up there.

Lol... many of those who shared their experience, still live there. If I were looking for an apartment, that's one of the sources id consult. People who have living experience of the proposed neighborhood. They do think Woolwich is a ghetto.

tuzle:
won't he buy fuel. If u want to drive ur car to and fro let say to work and other places u are going to, u will still need nothing less than 20k fuel every week. So tell me how u will be able to save after every other expenses. We haven't even added maintenance of the car into it.

Please help me with this question with sincerity.

Are there people in Nigeria who earn less than 200k monthly and own a car. Be sincere with the answer. I personally know a few of them. Some of them are currently building their personal houses little by little from their 200k.

erico2k2:
Woolwich price low? How? have you seen the cost of them flats by Woolwich Arsenal?, 2 bed flat cost £500k above not house I mean Flats

Read real experiences of people who live in Woolwich. Na ghetto.

shurlermoz:
Woolwich na outskirt to you?

Read the personal experience below. There's a reason the price is that low. 'good areas' do t have these kinda descriptions.

tuzle:
but the other part which he said are false, the driver and the maid. The person can't even buy car self and u can hardly afford to pay rent, talkless of own a house in most part In Nigeria

You are assuming the person has to buy a car. If the person comes from an ok family and inherited a car, that's his car na.

shurlermoz:
Are you interested?

Would you like to live in malo dominated outskirts of Abuja? I bet you can find two bedroom apartments there for 20,000 naira per month

unclejb2:
He is not correct .... N200k no fit pay for 2 bedroom flat per annum in any good location in Abuja, how then can you afford to hire a maid and a driver?

This man is definitely on the road to insanity

Can 2k pounds pay for two bedroom in the good places in London?

tuzle:
I was using the vi part as a reference. An exaggerated statement.

Don't do it. That's misrepresentation. Mr Onyema could never say that.

shurlermoz:
which Chinese import you dey see for UK?

Una go just dey yarn dust.

Try to educate yourself.

BrighterSyde:
Even without calculating ask yourself how many people on 300k salary per month have drivers, cooks etc without getting them from the company they work. It won’t even make economic sense spending your money on these with just 200k earning. Chat me up on WhatsApp let me break it down for you.

That they can afford it does not mean they have to. There are people who earn 300k but prefer to wash their clothes themselves. There are people who earn less than 100k and have dry cleaners do their laundry. Mr Onyema talked about the possibility of it not that it should be done. If you no get car, you no need driver. If you however have a car, you will find someone willing to drive you fo 20k or less.

If you need someone to clean your house and run a few errands while at it for 3k or less, you will find that there are people who will plead for the opportunity. Is it ideal? Perhaps not. But is it possible? Definitely yes.

tuzle:
guy what are u arguing for? Did u read the post at all? Someone said if u earn 200k in Nigeria, u can afford to live in vi, employ a driver and maid and u said it is true and some else said it is a lie. Yet u are saying if u cut ur coat bla bla. Was that what did man said ni. That 200k even if u cut ur coat or whatever, when family start entering, u will be broke before mid of the month, saving will be almost impossible. I went to market for my sister yesterday and just the baby stuff we got was more than 25k not to talk of food for the rest in the house.

who said you can afford to live in vi with 200k?

BrighterSyde:
Honestly the way you reason baffles me. But I will answer your question. No it is not compulsory to use all those services when one can’t afford them.

Now answer this. Is it possible to afford all those services on a 200k salary as the man you are defending said?
I mean a man told a blatant lie to buttress his point and an educated man like you is asking if it is compulsory to use these services? How low are we going mentally?

Let me see if you can answer the question.

Dude I want you to try an experiment. Create a thread saying you need a driver who will work Monday to Friday. Morning and evening. He's free to do anything between 9 and 4:30 while you are at work and that the salary is 20k. Drop your WhatsApp number and see wether people won't apply for the job.

Another experiment is to create a thread saying you need someone to who will clean and dust the house, but a few things from the market and make soup so you can store in the freezer once every week for 3k each week. Include your location and what'sapp number and see wether you won't find people who will do it.

Treadway:
many are mad, few are roaming.

Driver - at least 60k salary
Maid - at least 50k salary
one Other domestic staff - at least 50k
Oga boss balance after above expenses- 40k

So oga boss is left with 40k to feed himself and fuel his car for that month? Allen must have just received a Mouth Gig before going on air. His brain never calibrate.

Stop it. I'm not defending Mr Onyema. I however need to correct this falsehood. If housemaids dey earn as much as 50k, people for dey queue to do am. Most housemaids earn around 10k. That's one of the reasons many of them end up stealing. Majority of their clothes and shoes are hand me downs. They can barely afford anything for themselves. Many drivers earn as little as 20k in this same Nigeria. Abi no be this same Nigeria graduates dey 15k as teacher for private school? So they can earn 50-60k as maids and drivers but will go and do suffer head as teachers? Be real with your analysis abeg.

immortalcrown:
So, a Chinese phone costs more in the UK than in Nigeria?

Yes.

immortalcrown:
Things are a bit cheaper in Nigeria because Nigeria has so much raw materials. If Nigeria imports raw materials like the UK does, things will be cheaper in the UK. Check the prices of Chinese products in the UK and the prices of the same products in Nigeria. Use a smart phone for instance.

The price of Chinese import in Nigeria is cheaper than the price of Chinese import in UK. And it's not because of raw materials. It's because of all the extra tax.

Elzazzi:
You see this life get as e be. Person go hustle all the hustling and life go still get as e be

I understand bro...I no downplay that fact. Grace and chance follow involve. But until grace 'touchlight' person, na only hustle sure to dey drag you through the hard times.

Risingblue008:
Whc one be bulb of 500k?
The tenant no pay caution fee,
Cos if u pay caution in any apartment b4 packing in
Thats mean u have paid for damages ahead
Even if u pay 200k as caution fees and u damage things worth 400k,guy u no get anything to do with ur landlord cos u don pay down
If na court,carry me go court make i tell u the reason even the landlord go shock for the kind of tenant wey he give house

Damage is different from theft though. For something to be considered as damage, you have to be able to see it. In this case, the items were taken away.

There is also the crime of malicious damage in law. So a judge is obliged to consider a reasonable level of wear and tear. Once you go overboard, malicious damage may be slammed against you.

You might have no regards for the system, be careful however, the system has no regards for us either.

Stop making tenancy difficult for other people. This landlord will now harbor prejudice against people of certain tribes. This is not fair. Our actions have consequences not just for us personally but for many people we represent directly or indirectly.

lhurd:
Sir this no be season. Abuja has never been this hot. Even wall dey hot by 5am. It's too much

Take heart. It will be cold again soon.

Na life be that. Try hustle make you be d one to stretch helping hand give others.

Hustle diligently, payday go come.

Naija ladies can never say pim!!!!

Lock up forever.

SoNature:
If we are being honest, South East leaders owe Kanu nothing. In the spirit of brotherhood, I must appreciate those who have made efforts to secure his release and those who have visited him in prison.

That being said, Kanu ridiculed, insulted and threatened the South East leaders. Ike Ekweremadu was even beaten up during a New Yam festival in Germany 😁😁😁 You cannot insult me, the state picks you up, and you start feeling that I owe you your release. Mbanu, o dighi eme-eme!

E shock me self. Kanu never spared them. He insulted and dragged them through the myd

Ayedaaded:
Ok ooo... He go dey "fire"scinating too

How the fire wan take escalate? The bottles are filled with sand and the filled bottles are plastered together with cement.

excanny:
What about fire outbreak?

I don't think fire can burn through the sand or cement used to hold the plastic together


It's not a new concept, I watched a documentary years ago I think on Al Jazeera of this person helping poor Bolivian families build recycled homes. You can Google Bolivian recycled homes to understand it.

Lawless country
