What kind of rubbish country is this?
He compared the rental costs in Nigeria to those in the UK, where he was paying N1.3M (or 1,400 pounds) per month for just one room. The man highlighted his comfortable life in Nigeria, where he lived in a duplex.
In his words, “They’re telling me just one room for 1,400 pounds which is almost N1.3 million. What kind of rubbish country is this? I must wear shoes, sweater, cap, and hand gloves as if I am travelling. Still, it’s just this close place I’m going to. If I tell people in Nigeria not to come, they won’t understand.”
