“Whether the 200£ will buy more or less in Nigeria doesn’t matter!. what’s important is how easy you can earn that 200£ over there, compared to the earning capacity here in Nigeria.200£ for food alone!”

Moment grandma saw N2k pear in UK
Meanwhile, TheTalk.NG previously reported the epic moment a Nigerian granny discovered that a pear costs N2k in a UK market.
The grandma picked up a pear and asked the lady what kind of pear it was and how much it cost in the UK open market.
The lady told her it was a foreign pear and may cost about N2,000 in Nigerian currency. When she heard the price, the grandma quickly dropped the pear and refused to buy it despite the lady’s persuasion.
