seunny4lif: Not relevant. The optimal situation is to work there, but live here; which is exactly what the op is pointing out. Otherwise, the standard of life in both countries is not that different. 1 Like |

sammyonal: I know what I'm talking about. I've lived and worked in the UK and I have cousins in the US whom I've stayed with for sometime. Food is not the only necessity. Housing, medical bills, utility bills are all necessary as well. And food isn't that cheap. An average family of five will spend not less than $2k a month. That's about a million naira. If one leaves one's family back home in Nigeria and sends them that million a month, do you know the kind of standard of living they will have? Let alone rent, electricity, medical fees etc. As the OP said, it's much better to go alone, work for a couple of years, send funds back home, build a house and open a thriving business, then head back here for an early retirement. 5 Likes |

uuzba:That life is not about earning a salary and marrying a wife, that's like what everybody does. What's Unique or there to learn in such basic kind of life? You starting working as a student and you have to pay tax, and you want to make a big deal of that? Complaining about tax is silly except is for reason like you feel the government is using your tax money to wage war on a weaker country. This is the 21 century youth are not very religious in developed country, wetin wan carry them come church when they know that money (a tool) would solve most of their problem they are not thinking about eternity in heaven. Unlike Nigeria where citizens pray for water and light. After meditating hope you are now back to Nigeria? Are you referring to Nigeria cheap education that doesn't translate to any transferable skills that rander the person unemployable not to talk of the lack of proper Jobs available. |

jeyem:. That's because our naira has been bastardized. Moreso the N1m of the year 2005 is not the N1m of today. It is only significant in your bank account, the moment you start spending it, you will discover it does not last long. |

lexy2014: Not exactly luxury; that was an exaggeration, but certainly a better standard of living than you can get on a thousand dollars a month in the US for example. With N100k monthly, at least you can maintain a car, rent a flat and eat decently in Nigeria. No way is that going to happen in the US with less than $1000 ((N400k) monthly, which is what the op said. 3 Likes |

Litmus: It's not that the standard is wholistically better regardless of how much you make. I don't think that is what the op is saying. Nor I. But there are opportunities for entrepreneurship here that you cannot get there, if only you have your initial funding. And relocating your whole family there is a gross waste of money, money which can be put to better purpose establishing a less expensive nest egg here. Once you have set up and are making enough here, there is nothing that you can enjoy there that you cannot also enjoy here, so at a point, they are equal. 1 Like |

bloggerblogger2: Before foolishly comparing Nigeria to America and shouting Nigeria is doomed... cursed etc... we need to begin by asking ourselves how many years ago America became independent.... and how many years did Nigeria become independent. It doesn't mean we should take that number of years to reach where they are... we should learn from their mistakes and discoveries. What is more important is for us to ask ourselves why they have good leaders and everything seems to be in order. The answers are in the quote above. Those who are responsible for bad governance and looting are not the ones sitting in Aso Rock..... look in the mirror and we will see the perpetrators... the ones that give them the power. |

A homeless man in the US is safer than a rich man in nigeria Nonsense Do the writers and supporters know anything about purchasing power parity and standard of living? You can't compare lime with coconut, compare lime with lime. In Zamfara, you can live on 20k, but in Abuja 100k cannot pay your rent in Central area. Is the standard of living, safety, quality of hospitals and amenities the same? Now would you prefer Zamfara just because you can live there with 20k? Do you know how many NGO jobs are in Zamfara, Borno and Yobe that no one wants to take? Nonsense comparison. Keep consoling yourself if you can't get alternatives to the Nigerian suffering, I feel you 3 Likes |
