Thanks for bringing this up.

Buhari made a personal choice to go to the UK for treatment. He has a right to. It’s not because there are no competent doctors or facilities here in Nigeria.

I’m waiting till I go to the USA in a few months before I get my Covid vaccine, it’s not because it’s not available here. Personal choice.

Egun dakun no vex people faa.

Personal Choice ke ?? give it straight to 'em - Health care is inexistent in the country (don't you read US Mission Brief in the country).

I've noticed you don't like criticizing the country with all her ills and myriad of complex problems and it totally unfair to use the same adjective use to qualify the US for Nigeria.

A US-based Nigerian give reasons why Nigeria is better than the US. Do you agree with him?

A US-based Nigerian give reasons why Nigeria is better than the US.

- Can anyone in the US use $1 for breakfast? No! But in Nigeria, 500 will give you breakfast and lunch.

- Insurance in the US is $280 and that is almost100, 000
monthly. In Nigeria we don’t pay half of that

https://twitter.com/CoolFMNigeria/status/1379699416890810370?s=19

- Majority of people's monthly house rent (self-Contained apartment) in the USA is $1,000 and above... and that is your own 2 year's rent.

-Says he pays 40,000 monthly for phone bills or else they will block his SIM. Whereas MTN can be there for months without recharge.

https://twitter.com/CoolFMNigeria/status/1379700408420012034?s=19

- When last did you work on Saturday and Sunday? This I do compulsorily and on regular basis.

Don't get me wrong, the US is better than Nigeria,
depending on which angle you are viewing it.
But many people in Nigeria live a more fulfilled life than
those in America

https://twitter.com/CoolFMNigeria/status/1379700771135098881?s=19

If you are black they will kneel on you, and you need many jobs to truly live well.

Is there anything you don’t agree with in what he
said?

She's right...

But my fellow Nigerians pls come and experience it yourself...

America is only good for schooling and exploring opportunities. I'm a living testimony. All I've achieved to the glory of God, I couldn't have boasted of, had I stayed put in the USA. The plot of land where I built my smart home in lagos is in millions yet, I have a friend who had been living in the USA legit for 15 years after I had left, but can't afford that kind of land talkless of building on it. He's even faced with lots of family responsibilities now, to make the matter worse. Shooling is free yet there some bills you can't skip on your children while schooling

The OP didn't even mention the cost of gas ( which we call petrol). It's crazy.

If you're unemployed and you live in Nigeria, you would definitely prefer to relocate to America. But if you have a unique vision and idea, Nigeria is the best place to actualize it. Forget the government, they can never satisfy people's needs, even if they can afford to feed Nigerians 3 times everyday.

Nigeria beta pass.

No need to berate me or argue with me based on my opinion. We all have our own. Good healthcare is available in the country. It is not available to all just as it's not available to all in the US. I lived in the USA for 33 years and worked for two healthcare organizations for 20 of those years. I have personal experience, not some mission statement.

I don't like calling people idiots. But this is the most idiotic thing someone will ever write.

Can someone tell him that minimum wage in the US is $7.50/hour (and they are clamouring to increase it) but it is 15 cents/hour in Nigeria and there is no hope of increment?

Even before i opened the thraed, i knew this would be the reply of POVERTY Stricken Nigerians on this forum. There are many of them.

The answer is this. He has gone, he has gone. He will return back to Nigeria as soon as he raises enough capital to be self employed.

All he posted are pure facts. Besides for one to compare The US with Nigeria, you must have spent reasonable time(Years) in both places.

But broke azz niggaz who have never had the opportunity to compare will always diss Nigeria. I really hope you'all will be given Visa so that you can get the hell out of Naija.
Trash na u just yarn bros. Why he nor come Nigeria even if he never gather enough money to become self-employed? Abi the money nor dey let gather for naija? I don't know why most of u whose parents were luckily to have little money and connection, and were able to give u guys good education and employment, feels that's how it is for everyone in this country. And u guys are always quick to say rubbish.

Our mates na Senegal, Ghana and co. Stop comparing Nigeria with USA, of all places. We still have places like UAE, Saudi, most of Europe, Singapore, Malaysia, South Africa, Egypt etc na America the oga patapata of capitalist economy you dey compare Nigeria with? Some of us are obviously ignorant of our true level among nations. We have a very long way to go and yet, we are still sleeping and battling herdsmen issues and agbero issues in 2021. America keeps building for the future every day, even at their level.

This is not about personal properties of a few okay people, it is about the system. Never compare Nigeria with America, we are nowhere close. Go to Cotonou next door first, then Ghana and make an unbiased appraisal of where we are - and don't deceive yourself by comparing the best of a typical Nigerian city with the worst of a typical city in other countries or the well to do in Nigeria with the struggling people in other countries, compare apples with apples grin .

Hello sir. Try to be honest with yourself. Buhari left because he doesn’t trust our healthcare service here. Those politicians know what they did to Nigeria OR have you ever seen president of other countries come to Nigeria for health care?

Oga, you are still re-capping this thing, high standard of living in us is high and likewise the pay is high also, compared to nigeria, the values of the money determine the price of goods that will be consumed, for instance, let a US worker swap his/her salary with a Nigerian worker and at the end of the month lets see who will lament the most,so stop comparing US lifestyle to NAIRA, US is far better than this country at most cost
Do you know some Nigerians working in Nigeria are paid in dollars at the same rate or more than some people in the USA? If it were only about money, some people will not move an inch out of Nigeria.

Lol @ the bolded.

No wonder their leaders were all dropping dead last year when their wasn't an option of going to distant shores, from the President chief of staff to Parliamentarian and former governor.

You of course know this, the fact that you now live there now and you think your time now is better than the 33 years in the US does not mean you should deny the problem. we can argue about the approach to solve the problems but to simply deny it ..... Nope

mumu question, from an angle he is right, the major reason why any one would choose to leave Nigeria is the quality of life and that comes at a cost, which is higher cost of living, and an extra struggle to succeed.
