AfahaAbia:Na you dey ignorant here! How many Nigerians can afford light bill of 24/7 with the current tariff rate? Because light in Nigeria is very cost compared to there. How many Nigerians can afford good apartment in Nigeria here? Because houses are very cost in Nigeria compared to there. Come to Nigeria and see millions of Nigerians living in the forest, mud houses, thatch houses, shanties even under bridges because they can't afford the cost of renting a good apartment in Nigeria. If these Nigerians have the money they would have rented good home. But over there most of them can afford good accomodation, 24/7 electricity and also good food. 5 Likes |

OVER-RATED NIGERIA IS STILL BETTER see why = 1 pound to 1 naira today is N1,001 so are you saying with £10 x N1,001 = N10,001 you cannot buy everything in that basket and collect change in Nigeria today? 1 Sliced Bread = N700 2 Spaghetti = N1400 1 Gesha = N600 1 live chicken = N3,000 1 75cl soya Oil = N1,400 1 Midium size Butter = N600 2 Gino Tomato paste = N1,000 Total = N8,700 so your change is N1,300 that's if you exchange pound to naira at offical rate and buying at the most expensive stores or high brands. If you exchange at black market rate and buy at public market "days" you will collect as much as N6,000 after buying everything in that basket....that's about £6 left. LET'S JUST THANK GOD FOR WHAT WE HAVE AND STOP LOOKING AT AND GLORIFYING ANOTHER MAN'S LAND MORE THAN OUR OWN....OUR OWN NA OUR OWN O Westchester: 3 Likes |

Truths9ja:very rare. Uk wages are notoriously low. If it wasn’t for the strength of the pound it would be a no go zone. Wages are poor. There are no job description that would pay you that much in the uk but if you have a skill and willing to hustle like for example doctors do locum. This is like hustling mercenary type work where you are sent anywhere everyday so you are unstable but you can get up to 250k. That’s the only job where you can clock 250k is locum consultant because those top IT jobs you can’t even make half of that |

illicit:Hmm, he brought apc and Buhari that killed the purchasing power of 99% of Nigerians. He then took office and destroyed it more. Abi who should the average Nigerian blame for naira falling from 150/200 9 years ago to 750, and 4 months ago to 1150? Was pounds not 240 for 16 years of the previous PDP? In that 16 years was our currency not stable? Who should Nigerians blame? Themselves? Or you? 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Whalis:Oga, are you sure about what you wrote? Where will you see such chicken for 6 pounds, that chicken, cooked not even raw sells for 2-3 pounds tops. Even though eating out is expensive where do you eat a plate for 20 pounds? Half chicken with chips, gravy and a bottle of chilled kopparburg cider at jd wetherspoon is 10-11 pounds. Even breakfast buffet at most travel lodge is around 8 pounds. So which one is 20 for a plate again? Unless you go to high end restaurants. What op posted there you will easily buy at any cornershop or Tesco not to talk of lidl, Aldi etc 5 Likes |

sukkot: Bro, my rent was N550k per year at OPIC estate outside Lagos o. And then drive through that horrible traffic into the expressway daily to work. And that was because we formed bond with the landlord. The minute we told our landlord we were leaving, I got him a new tenant I met here on nairaland. Landlord jacked the rent for the guy to N1mn - 3 bed flat. The guy was telling me via WhatsApp. I swear! They finally agreed on N850k. Same compound, we pumped our water - which was basically clay and spend N4k to buy chemicals plus a small bag of alum every month to throw inside the tank on every pump. I kid you not. My phcn bill with prepaid meter was N22k / month excluding previous gbese that accumulated after we paid for meter and they were still sending us inflated bills and this was then o. With some SERIOUS rationing. I swich off fridge and completely offloaded my freezer when I go to work. So I was paying crazy in naija for utilities I didn't even enjoy or had to provide for myself. let's not even talk of medicines when ill. The bills are NOT crazy at all like you guys think else, why do people stay? As for your London comment earlier, Londoners pay the highest percentile in rent truly but also earn the highest percentile in income averaging £28k to the high £60Ks. Trust me, my naija secondary school friend who lives there, it's chicken change compared to her net pay at month end o. If you have a partner, it's even better cos u share bills for a single hhousehold.I repeat, its not as crazy as you think and u can save quite well in such a short time too. 7 Likes |

@richiemcgold So minimum wage earner go use about 10%, after a month of working, of salary to buy chicken. Make we dey apply IQ. Cost of food in Nigeria compared to the minimum wage is a killer. facts richiemcgold: 2 Likes 1 Share |

@ richiemcgold, U cannot get such provisions, in that basket, at those prices. How can you be comparing an hr works with 2.5 weeks of week. There is a reason one person has to work 2.5 weeks to buy such i.e., inflation, and high cost of living costs for basics. U're IQ is lower than lower. Rock bottom.... Dey apply critical thinking. There is no comparison, and you cannot get such in Nigeria at those prices.....There is like 8 thighs of chicken in that basket. What are you chatting about? richiemcgold: 5 Likes 2 Shares |

vivaciousvivi:so you are saying 28000 per annum is a high amount for London ? Tax will bring that down to 21000. Rent of 1500 a month will bring that down to 3000. We have not factored in water light gas food transport tv license etc etc . You can’t afford to live in London if you are earning 28k . With that amount you will be sleeping in the library and taking your shower in a gym 😆😆😆😆 |
