The US has fifty country-sized states. They can't all be insecure. Some US states are far safer than NZ.
Plus US is the second richest western country by per capita income after Norway

this is a big lie.
An average 3 bedroom flat in America goes for between 900 to 1200 a month. You can get a studio apartment for 500 a month in a city like Atlanta.

Now the truth is that the average town in America has more infrastructure than lekki, asokoro or wherever else our VIPs live in Nigeria.

Also the poorest people in America who earn minimum wage make up to 1200 a month.

Below are pictures of South Central L.A. Its considered a ghetto. Compare it with Lekki

An American average houses are so expensive than houses in Banana island.

An average single worker in USA living in a one room rented apartment pays $2000 monthly. In a year it totals to $24000. That's about #9,000,000 naira in conversion rate of 380.

While in Naija, the most beautiful 3 bedroom ensuite flat in Lekki can be gotten for#600k or 700k yearly. About $1800.

Imagine earning $4k and your rent eats up 50% of Ur income and you then spend extra $1000 for your bills and taxes. see why it's somehow difficult for your friends or family who are abroad to send you Money?

somehow:
Lekki is better looking than these pictures you posted.

The houses in Lekki too are better than what we are seeing in these pictures!

But then, majority of what is in Lekki were put there by private individuals unlike that of the images above.

Another drug addict comes to nairaland to open a thread just to type rubbish.

This one had never been outside Nigeria in real life , this one lives in one village in Ekiti and is a mental patient.
You can't even get a flat for 1 million in lekki , and the most flats go for between 2 - 6 million a year in Lekki

The America you visited I have a sister who lives there and works in a tech company her rent isn't even close to $1000 for her home and she commutes by sub 30 minutes to work everyday with ease .


You are sick and a mad man , next time you finish taking drugs and want to comment restrict yourself to commenting on the happenings in your village

Idiot

cooooooks:
The only place where you'll rent a one room apartment, i.e, a studio not a one bedroom apartment, for $2,000 is in Manhattan and downtown LA or Hollywood.

In some parts of the USA, rent for a 3 bedroom apartment is less than $1,200. So it depends on where you are.

Burgerlomo:


You can get s studio apartment for $500 a month depending on the location and also one bedroom apartment for lets say $800 or less also depending on the location.

Shortyy:

Burgerlomo:


Single room with built in kitchen and toilet.

Please go to foreign websites and research my statement. It is only on nairaland that I see this statement you made. The main reason Americans are not happy about their system is the health care issue where they spend massively despite paying taxes. I have read threads where Americans living outside America stated that their best decision was leaving America, especially with the response of New Zealand to covid 19. This your statement is likened to Nigerians calling Nigeria poverty capital of the world and most corrupt country when they have not researched what is happening elsewhere but are fed daily with just news about Nigeria. I don't have strength to argue that is why I didn't reply the other mentions. Try to read news from other foreign sites to balance your information.

Carchoice:
This guy is high. One bedroom flat in lekki now goes for 1.5 to 2m. Get your facts right.
