Hey dude,
What did you use as ur pound/naira conversion because I believe you paid for some of those in naira? Did you have to pay all that yourself?...I would have expected your employer will cover at least the container shipment. Could you please explain cuz I am at the verge of throwing out my resume to Nigeria
ooooooookkkkkkkkaaaaaayyyyy! GBP30k!!
That big-arse rent aside, the GBP7k remaining does not even include cost of motor-car.
Man, that rent is eye-popping and I sure say you no go use the one wey cost pass! Abeg, come live for Ijebu-Ode and I go find driver for you go work come back everyday plus house. Why not rent place at Unilag guest house for 2 years and use the change buy speedboat!!
Any space remain for that container, at all?

££23k for accommodation??? blaaaaaad!!!
moving back no be beans o or perhaps I will just move to nice clean ilorin
What !!!! £23K for rent? Mate... I beg do build your own house....
Man I can't believe it, how much of the £23K did you have to pay yourself? Did your employer help you out ??
Does the £3600 you paid for shipping include clearing?? Did you put anything in the container you can sell to claw back some of your costs? ....
Keep your head up.

The rent is scaring.Why not go for a mortgage.Over 5m Naira for 2 year is not economically reasonable.
Wish you the best.
