The state of California's minimum wage of $10 (N1,500) per hour to start by 2016. It seems it is about $8 (N1,200)at the moment.

A US citizen that works 10 hrs daily for 20 days gets approximately N300,000 ($2,000) per month!

Nigeria's is N18,500 ($123) per month. Meaning N92 ($0.6) per hour pay.


Why won't people wanna run go greener pasture.

This's how you send yourselves to the land of suffering. Find out, what kind of life you live in California with $10/hr job.

It's easy to state they earn $10/hr but you did not include taxes (SS, State, Federal, and Medicare), the cost of living vs Nigeria are way different. Nigeria has her own problems and while Nigerian wage is low (peanut), Nigeria does have it good to a certain degree. Please don't envy $10/hr, it's NOTHING.

Not my freaking business,

Noted

that's naija for you

Why didn't you compare the cost of living too?

Labour is cheap in Africa

No place like home!

I love 9ja, I no go lie... Na inside am I go live and prosper

I'm tired of people always comparing us with America...as if that will solve anything...we will get there!!

$2000 is aChicken change, that money cant feed me 4 3hrs.

Who cares? Mtchewwwwwww!!

Chinwem: Labour is cheap in Africa

Do u know wat u're saying? If labour is cheap in africa, what will u say of Asia?

Labour aint cheap here, just that ppl don't know their value and are ready to accept palm kernel fees just to stay afloat

Sorry to Ask, are you an Aircraft Carrier

think of how you will live there, the prices of the commodities and so on. may be that minimum wage may not be effective to earn you a better living.

The difference may be much truly, but when u put their expenses and the nature of the jobs they do in the equation, it may not really be as rosy as u think oh.

be content with wat u have. Btw don't compare dat con3 with nigeria bcus even if they remain stagnant for 100 years nigeria cant still measure up to them.

@op, we dnt work 10hrs in Nigeria bt 8hrs and to envy such pay in US is absolute madness on my side. I wl even prefer earning half of it here in Nigeria.

Conductor, owa!!!, drop me here abeg

u dy mad, u wey no fit spend 50naire bread finish.:-/

If you are honest with yourself, you would know that one can live on 500naira (about 3 dollars) per day (15000 naira per month) in almost all Nigerian towns. I strongly doubt if one can survive with 3 dollars per day in the most American cities.
Not that I'm saying we can't do better but your thread reeks of insincerity.

This is why Nigerians should pay tax

Poster must be high on some banned narcotic substance, you better stay in your adopted country and shut that pooo of mouth.

I live in California and trust me when i say you don't want to live for 10/hr here.......California is just too expensive.....to live in a comfortable apartment here, you need to pay about 1200/month and that does not include heat/gas/electricity. California car insurance and fuel is one of the highest in the country. It cost about $4.2 per gallon to fill up your gas tank here, now compare that with Nigeria...

California rich vs poor income gap is too wide but mostly because majority of the poor Californians has defaulted to government support..

Na wa for OP

una hapi sunday oooo!

America there i gooooo
