That's the price of Beef Jerky internationally , even imported beef jerky cost that much in Lagos

Golan007:


Yoi don come again.

majamajic:
That's almost 3k

Yes but that's the ideal price. It's not all about converting to a different currency, it's also about the worth of the money in the home country. I cut my hair for $25 (or sometimes $20 cause the guy is Nigerian). It'll be mad of me to start considering the naira conversion cause in that case, I'll have to convert my salary too, the guy's business overheads, etc.

Well, they are making money but it's not really as it seems cause they also spend in a similar fashion. The barber might be paying $1,500 per month for a one bedroom apartment. Revenue cannot be treated in isolation.

TUANKU:

"Revenue cannot be treated in isolation"... one of the most sensible thing i have read this year on NL.

babyfaceafrica:

Funny how we moved from how "expensive" kirishi (an other goods and services) is abroad to how "big" people make it out there. At the end, it all balances out and it will just be a matter of how much you are eventually able to save. It's not always that much but yeah, people make it. I mean, if they are not making money, they won't remain here. I only wanted to put thing into perspectives for better understanding.

When one guy said that there are Nigerians who order pizza daily from UK we thought it was a joke.

Here's one evidence as to how extravagant some of us can be

Kobojunkie:
Nah!! It's sort of pricey. I hope the price is halved by the time it arrives in the U.S so we can get a taste.
