Peter obi might not be 100% best but trust me he won't spend recklessly and he wont be docile like tinubu. He might be proactive in responding to crisis more better than what tinubu is doing as if he doesn't care.

Trust me osinbanjo would have been far better than tinubu. Because we saw how he responded to needs like the end sars protest how he listened and disbanded them how he tried to bring down Dollar a little bit when Buhari was away

Why has Obi not managed Labour Party?

BlackViper:
They're still in the top 20 globally. That's not poorly paid.

Vision101:

Don't mind them. The UK will not take a Nigerian trained doctor for residency. They want finished product.

You are here ing misinformation, do you know what residency is and how long it takes.
Residency program for doctors take it takes 5-7 years who told you before a doctor can japa to the uk he has to complete his residency?
Or are you mistaking residency for housemanship.

Mabuggi88:

Even if they put everything including the cost of breathed air, they will still pocket as high as 1.8m monthly in Naira.
I just did an average calculation for it now and got #2.3m monthly after using an average expenditure in a UK environment

Wrong analysis..dy think abeg

UK doctors are very poorly paid and that's why they always want to strike every 2 market days.
They're even planning to strike again

jmoore:
Stop converting to naira.

They don't spend in naira.

They also have the comfortable option not to spend on basic healthcare and child education.

Two things will happen when you don't pay for either of those in Nigeria.

UK salary structure is low compared to the US. I was applying for remote jobs and I saw between 65-105k

huptin:


Total income tax in Nigeria is about 7% of net income. And that's the only one i know.

I don't think you understood the question, let me say it again, since you lot wanna talk about UK tax, I have asked you to name one tax in the Uk we pay that you do not pay in Nigeria

DiamondsAreFore:
Japa for healthcare workers in Nigeria will continue unabated because the naira has lost so much value that the FG will literally collapse financially if Nigeria tries to compete with this wage structure.

Here is the monthly salary of UK resident doctors converted to Naira at the prevailing exchange rate:


Below are the conversions for the monthly take-home pay ranges provided for resident doctors in England (2024/25 pay scales, after tax/NI/pension deductions):

Foundation Year 1 (FY1):
£2,300–£2,500
£2,300 × 2,147.24 = ₦4,938,652
£2,500 × 2,147.24 = ₦5,368,100

Foundation Year 2 (FY2):
£2,600–£2,900
£2,600 × 2,147.24 = ₦5,582,824
£2,900 × 2,147.24 = ₦6,226,996

Specialty Training (ST1–ST8):
£3,000–£4,200
£3,000 × 2,147.24 = ₦6,441,720
£4,200 × 2,147.24 = ₦9,018,408

I wish you can match the corresponding expenses on these incomes
Nevertheless, their pay is like times 10 of Nigeria as their workload is higher also

Poor analogy, so the London underground train drivers are poorly paid too right? cos the strike too

Racoon:
Great take home there but the taxation and deductions in the UK is not beans.

The post clearly said " take home after tax, insurance and the rest."

jmoore:

To be more funny but real, they spend less than you here.
You pay for children school fees, you pay for any drug you buy, very soon we may pay for air we breathe, and yet, we pay some some taxes one way or another.

For them, they pay tax and insurance and instantly some loads are shouldered by the government or companies.

E.g, child education, health, and even cars....

How much is deducted as tax?

Commentor:


You can save 1k from 3k ?

Yes sir.. I know nurses who save 1k from less than that..

Rent 700 2 bedroom flat
Bills max 600
Feeding.. u won't even finish 500



As a doctor comfortably more if u want to

It all depends on how u want to live.. you can decide to rent a home of 2k a month while others rent 600 to 1k ... every house has the basic in UK...24 hrs light, heating , water and glass or electricity for cooking.

1k house in stoke city for example is a big 2 or 3 bedroom detached house with garden at the back
.

Your response will only come from people who never want to pay their dues. You pay tax and get it back in form of infrastructure and when you are being overtaxed they refund you without chasing anyone around.

Maybe in Hull.

The equivalent of living in Oturkpo.

texas1990:

Help me tell them ooooooh, one egg is 3 dollars over there and 3 dollars can buy a whole crate of egg in Nigeria.

You don't need to lie... and care of 12 eggs in UK is about 2.50£

A carer in UK will save monthly the salary of 2 doctors for in 1 month in Nigeria... I said save not earn.. that is after paying rent , bills .. what will be left a month can pay 2 doctors salary in Nigeria for that month.

Is hull city not better than Abuja or lekki.

Every where in UK is 24hrs light
The roads are all tiled.
If u sick u call ambulance it comes to your house with trained staff and takes you str6to emergency.. God forbid you get heart attack now in Nigeria... the probability of surviving it is almost 0.
There is security.. call police and In 5 mins they are with you. You don call police for Nigeria before...

Frezhkid10:

Wrong analysis..dy think abeg

Not at all. I took everything into consideration and at an average cost with experience oo, not as a novice

Imagine Division B football player dey earn doctor's annual salary in one week.

God; let your grace be sufficient for my son, amen.

Racoon:

There is something you guys that are not in uk will never get about uk taxation.
Taxation is very OK per monthly income.


If you work 36hrs per week and decides to do overtime 2 time in a week making it 8 overtime in a month, though you are paid 1.5 for overtime, you worked like5days free for tax man.

Your people think that by working almost everyday, they will make more money. Uk system don't encourage working everyday so they put up measures like this.
Even when they know it,they are still working. You will see a person who works officially 12 days in a month if it's 12 hours shift do 10 days or more overtime and when he is taxed, he will start crying.

You want to maximise your income, work less overtime. The tax is small. Actually small.
We live in the system.


And then again because you work so much and earn so much, your tax code will change once you start making up to 40k. So you continue to work more.
The first time I started work, my manager told me that after 2 or 3 overtime, any other one if for the tax man. And she said even after explaining to blacks, they will still continue coming to work. No rest. Aside from cold, foodstuffs in uk should be the cheapest in the whole world.

Ask Americans

And in uk, what you pay tax for, you receive. Nigerians are so ungrateful and greedy. When it doesn't go their way, they will start complaining.

Everyday, they come here to berate the 6th largest economy in the world.
Imagine comparing uk with Nigeria.
Yet after the rubbish talk, they are all o er uk embassies trying to cross over.

Arielle:

Savings

I save way more than that monthly as a Clinical Practitioner here. 😂😂😂

Hull isn't better than Abuja.

It's a shithole.

femi4:
3k pounds, that's N6M...why won't they leave the Country

You no very dull ajeh

motymop:


but the salary is low in uk standard

the only country that pay doctors well is the US

Because healthcare is free.
Once that cap is removed, it will skyrocket like in America.

A colleague told me that doctors in uk in the 80, 90s were paid so well they you will see doctors in their late 40s paying off mortgage and retiring.
That was how they started importing doctors.
Parliament has to cut that down.

But junior doctors salary was increased days ago.

, people to school in uk almost free.
To repay student finance in a month is very small.
25 yrs threshold to pay off student finance and the rest will be written off.
And while studying, there are some allowances you get free.

Haba, I hate these comparisons.
Makes no sense.
Politicians in uk jump the train like everybody.
The system will make you very comfortable and will encourage and help you to grow but it will not make you rich as uk is not a capitalist economy.

The only thing that is costly in uk is housing.
Nothing more.
Food stuff is extremely cheap.

erico2k2:

you are wrong, So wrong.Life is what you make it over there in the UK, if you wanna live large your cup of tea, you wanna live comfy still your cup of tea ,there is always a purpose.

The grass is always greener on the other side

donproject2:


You no very dull ajeh

stark illiterate

UK population less than 70 million, Nigeria’s population about 250 million.

Nigeria has only 30,000 practicing physicians.

Nigerian doctors are more overwhelmed

Gboom:

olaolaking:
To study and become a doctor in that same UK, you must spend more than 100,000,000 in 5 years.

Then how much do they charge in treating people in UK? Can you pay such amount?

If your takehome is 3k in UK, you may struggle to save £50

Lies

You can save 1k pound comfortably every month. Only rent takes huge amount monthly.

So because they spent less to be a doc, they should be paid less? What stupid analogy is that .

To be a professional in any field is a product of school teachings and personal development
