How is this an issue?

WHAT IS THE MINIMUM WAGE THERE ?

Some that earns 10,000 dollars in a month there, which is approximately 7m is the same class as someone who earn 300k here.


Nigerian is blessed with cursed leaders.
No, with the current cost of things and exchange rate, they're not in the same class in anyway. e.g someone earning 10k USD there can get a brand new car in six months. 300k naira monthly can only get a borderline scrap in six months.

Very few people earn $10k monthly in America. I mean less than 10 per cent of the population and those who earn such has heavy student loans to repay.

If you want them for cheap, come back home and buy them. With shipping and packaging, the shop has the right to sell them at whatever amount they deem.

That is $120,000 per annum, people just stay in Nigeria and will be throwing figures around without having any clue how an average American does not earn six figures.

I really do not understand how people in Naija comes up with those figures.. $120k per annum not for average Americans. Guess some people think money grows on trees in America. lol

Most of these people actually paid FDA, Freight and buys the products from here. So you don't expect them to sell cheaply...
Re: What I Saw in DOWNTOWN, Los Angeles by CDCEO001: 7:36pm On Aug 01, 2022
Is normal there. When i was in south korea, naija food stuff were more than 10 times the price of it in here. You will see a small sachet of dried leaf or egusi fo 10,000krw or 10usd then. And sometimes you have to buy like 5 sachets to cook.

There are lots of African stores run by other Africans that are not Nigerians here in Maryland selling all those listed items and their prices are exactly the same.
