A Nigerian woman residing in the United Kingdom has sparked widespread reactions after publicly disclosing her staggering monthly expenses that totaled over two million naira for November 2025.
Breaking Down the N2 Million Monthly Expenditure
Pascaline Kelechi, who lives in Glasgow, Scotland, took to social media platform X to share a comprehensive breakdown of her November spending. The most significant portion of her budget went toward accommodation, with rent consuming £500 (approximately N955,000) for the month.
Her financial transparency revealed that utility bills and council tax combined accounted for £200, while groceries required another £200. Transportation costs amounted to £90, and various subscriptions totaled £70.
Subscription Frustration and Cost-Cutting Strategy
In her social media post, Kelechi expressed frustration with multiple streaming services, noting she planned to cancel several unused subscriptions. She remarked, "Need to cancel a few subscriptions as I don't even use most of them. Wish we could just watch all TV shows/movies from one platform."
The savvy spender also revealed that her decision to cook more meals at home during November proved financially beneficial. Her total expenditure for the month came to £1,060, equivalent to approximately N2 million when converted to Nigerian currency.
Social Media Reactions to the Expense Revelation
The post immediately triggered numerous responses from social media users, with many expressing shock at the figures while others compared costs across different UK cities.
User @Park Dira echoed Kelechi's streaming service frustration, commenting: "Omg I was just thinking about that today! I don't want to have to pay for Netflix, Disney, YouTube premium and only watch like 2, maybe 3 shows a month. Just put everything on one platform!"
Several users questioned her accommodation situation, with @_mackesha asking: "Do you live in shared accommodation, to be paying £500 for rent?" while @explorer and traveller inquired about her specific location in Glasgow.
User @Baby Tee provided perspective on London's higher costs, noting: "All your bills no reach rent for a shared room in London," highlighting the significant regional variations in UK living expenses.
The conversation expanded as @ex galfriend contrasted their own financial pressures: "Then there is me who needs money for insurance, groceries, black tax, rent, bills, fuel."
This financial revelation comes shortly after another Nigerian woman shared a positive experience with a generous landlord during her National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) period, who surprisingly gave tenants N2 million each upon their departure.
