ubcandid: I was pointing out that consumer and industrial goods of the same quality (not knockoff or imitation) cost the same amount of dollars: smartphones, cars, TVs, air conditioners, paint, tiles, generators, laptops, etc. Yes, there are cheaper (Chinese) versions that Nigerians have access to, but if an American bought those cheaper versions too, they'd pay the same price. For instance, a tokunbo Camry in Nigeria costs about the same in the US, in fact more in Nigeria since resellers need to profit. Similarly for buying a machine for your business (of comparable quality). That's why I say they are the same in dollar terms. But we're working 8x the amount of time in Nigeria to afford the same goods. A middle-class American can buy a $200 (N100k) Android phone with two day's wages after tax ($100/day). A comparatively well paid middle-class Nigerian, making 250k monthly, will work almost 12 days to make that same amount of money (N8k/day) In fact, after adding cost of import/clearing, the goods cost more dollar for dollar in Nigeria. |

nextstep:I actually contrived to understand you after deep simulation and relation. Not many people would understand you due to your complex narration in explanation. But I get what you're saying on the other hand, know that purchasing power of a currency and strength of middle class are other factors to consider in your analytical approach. |

AutoJoshNIG:There is a HUGE difference. When a US citizen applies for a Nigerian visa, he/she will most likely get it. However the reverse it not true, chances of a Nigerian getting a US visa is around 10 to 20% and US keeps the visa fees regardless of whether the visa was issued or not. The Nigerian government keeps failing us, how about making sure this people reduce their fee cause the chances of getting a US visa from here is so slim, but I'm sure they will keep mute as usual. 1 Like |

ladyGKilaBCrueD: Chai, most Nigerians don't read...you just go school go mark attendance ni? Did you read this part at all: “The total cost for a U.S. citizen to obtain a visa to Nigeria is currently higher than the total cost for a Nigerian to obtain a comparable visa to the United States. The new reciprocity fee for Nigerian citizens is meant to eliminate that cost difference.” Stated above is the reason for the increase and not because of scammers or fraudsters just arrested. For your information fraud is Global, you think Americans are not fraudulent? Have you heard of the American named Bernie Madoff? He defrauded Americans an estimated $64.8 Billion. Too many dumb people on Nairaland. |
