HealthRe: Six Nigerian Nurses Arrive At UK Hospital (Picture) by Timoleon(m): 8:50am On Sep 28, 2021
What is the average monthly expenditure in the U.K.?
adonainana:
You talk some truth about salary band but not the truth about how the U.K. works

No matter what salary you are in the UK, it takes extraordinary grace to avoid living from paycheck to paycheck

Even if you are on £100,000 which central London and business directors are on

After tax £100,000 per year is just £5,000 a month

It takes years for anyone in the medical field to start with to get to this stage

The point he was making was it isn’t that green on the other end

Only those who have lived and worked in the Uk for many years can understand

You can get trapped in a very very expensive system with the £1500 the nurses will start earning per month. After tax rent and all you could be left with little as £200 a month

And they no born you well get a side hustle as a nurse in the Uk. And changing careers would be too difficult

Meanwhile people that saw you leave Nigeria 10 years ago think you are balling and you are making big money

And the financial stage you are at before you give birth in the Uk is more or less the same financial stage you will be by the time your U.K. kids grow to 18

Come to London and see poverty within Nigeria households

People that left Nigeria as professionals 30 or 40 years ago, only mortgage they have because of the reasons above.

The Uk is an extremely expensive country that can trap you and give you a pseudo success story where you actually think you are making or have made it

I think this is the point the guy you replied to was making

Honestly come and see some people
In the Uk who left Nigeria in the same happy state 30 years after

I was even shocked some can’t afford flight tickets back home

Even some don’t have time from work back home cos all jobs in the Uk give you a 28 days holiday in one year

So you have to use the 28 days carefully

And the longer they stay in the Uk the worse it becomes and the more the years roll back and this is why you now have some British Nigerians who really want to come back to nigeria that most haven’t been too because of their parents always see it as a different country

I hope you get my points sha , but congrats to anyone leaving . Life is full of chances
HealthRe: Six Nigerian Nurses Arrive At UK Hospital (Picture) by Timoleon(m): 8:40am On Sep 28, 2021
Firstly you are using stats without facts. Saying 99 percent would opt to lavish on their extra money is first an exaggeration. Secondly saying the salary remains the same over the years is a total lie in itself. The NHS has different levels and promotion comes based on experience at regular intervals and these promotions come with increased salaries. Thirdly when doing these kinds of analysis it’s best to do it comparatively. In other words, what are nurses in Nigeria earning? What benefits are added? Like insurance, training,
Instead of submitting assumptions as facts.general standard of living, job security etc. Compared to the constantly rising inflation in the country is their already meager salary increasing of the same period of time. The answers in this helps you with a better response to this thread.
adonainana:
As funny as it sounds he is probably telling some truth

There are so many reasons some Nigerians who left Nigeria in the 70’s and 80’s barely want to return to Nigeria. Most cant even afford flights back home, most don’t have houses here, most don’t have cars to drive them around here either.

It’s funny after 30 years no investments in Nigeria whatsoever. It’s possible . These are the reasons you see the U.K. is a pseudo rich but heavily taxed in like sum and expensive country to live

The nurses would have on average thier £1500 per month salary no doubt ( £23-25k per year)

Now this is the problem
Out of that £1500 a month £800 would easily go on rent, bills such as gas transport to work, food at work, clothes, etc would easily take £300-400 a month

Now they are left with £300 right, they have two choices spend the remaining £300 back into the system that have them the £1500 or find a way to make it accumulate every month

99 percent of people would choose spend the £300 on shopping and just to get the feeling that finally you have Escaped Nigeria

Now this is what happens next, months become months and like play like play years go by. Nurses just like everyone earn exactly the same in the Uk for years meanwhile bills go up

Cost of living go up so the £300 left is barely anything again, years become years and the person decides to settle obviously in the Uk and no where else and thier kids give them more bills to pay

In the nursing profession just like other ones they get only 28 days holiday in a year so they are more less trapped in the nursing job or any other job they move to.


The summary above becomes just working to pay bills and living pay check to pay check

It takes extraordinary grace to escape the life of LIVING FROM PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK in the UK

SOME do Fraud to escape, some go into benefits fraud too or credit card fraud

Also apart from living paycheck to paycheck, the UK is extraordinary built on a credit system, the little that the nurses have left after the month starts going on credit card repayments

Mortgage repayments, car loan repayments meanwhile in the midst of this the cost of living in the UK keeps going up

This is not to discourage anyone, the UK is one of the hardest places to be in and you see a lot of money after the month that you don’t think you are using again

After about 10 years it’s possible the nurses were just about the same way they were 10 years before when they left Nigeria, it’s not bad belle, it’s just how rigid the structure in the UK is

No one can escape how the UK works

Only way to escape how the U.K. works is to have a second hustle or side hustle or FRAUD.

But again who will have the chance to escape Nigeria and not take it

But life is not a bed of roses on the other end due to the facts in my long epistle

Don’t give into false nostalgia, you are better off not getting married.

Oprah Winfrey has ‘helped’ a lot of deal with their marriages but guess what, she never married, never had children. By most standards, she’s fulfilled, she’s an icon, a model to the world. If you are not convinced about getting married, don’t do it.

I'll reply you because of the polite tone of your post. I don't agree with your view but I respect your opinion.

Those abusing her are certainly not her fans. True fans will.never abuse their idol even if the person was as fat as a hippopotamus. There is a difference in saying "I wish I could marry Teni if she was slimmer" and saying "Who will marry this bag of beans?"

People can exhibit their disapproval of her weight without insulting her. That said, not everyone is destined to be slim. God said everything He created is beautiful

This particular thread is not about her talents. Many of those talking about her weight are also her fans who appreciate her music and that includes me. This post is about dating and relationships. Different people have different expectations from the people they date or intend to date. Unfortunately, her stature falls in the minority of what people want so you’ll find a lot of people wishing they had her talents but not her stature.

Peace.
shadrach77:
It's sad that to see that poverty has turned the mindset of the average Nigerian upside down. I look at Teni and I can't see too much weight but all I'm reading is people talking not about her talent but her weight

Black man mentality. Always looking for people's weakness in order to attack them. Even if she is a lesbian what's your problem with that? She is happy with and within herself and that's all that matters
