Reality TV star, Vee Iye , has ignited a discussion on the disparities between Nigeria and the United Kingdom (UK) economies. Taking to the microblogging platform, Vee expressed astonishment at the exchange rate, revealing that £10 equals N17,200 in Nigerian currency.
Part British herself, Vee lamented the challenging life in Nigeria and stated her inability to seek refuge in the UK due to their comparable economic struggles. She humorously remarked, “£10 is N17200. Wonderful. Absolutely wonderful. Nigeria is really giving it to us hard. No rubber. No lubricant. Can’t even run to the UK because they’re getting bent over too. Two twins.”
