Nigerian man who recently relocated to the UK laments the struggle he’s facing while expressing the comfort he had before moving abroad.

He pressed on to complain about the cost of rent while comparing Nigeria to the UK where it cost him 1,400 pounds monthly for a room; a rough estimate of almost N1.3M.
“I was in Nigeria enjoying and living in a duplex and I came to London, they’re telling me just one room for 1,400 pounds which is almost N1.3 million. “Now I am just going nearby to buy something but I must wear shoes.
