Realguyman1:Earning in dollars does not mean she earns $1m per month. If you check very well her monthly take home might be between $5k to $10k or even less, it could be after or before tax sef. So if it's before tax, she would have to herself something like $3,750 to $7500, it varies slightly from these figures but still very close. Having that in mind, tell me how $1800 is not a huge amount? $1800 out of $10k is 18% just to fix break pads, she would pay rent, insurance (car, health etc), mortgage if she doesn't own her home fully or isn't paying rent. Bro, $1800 is a huge amount of money anywhere in the world, the only people it would not be huge for are millionaires or multimillionaires, both in USD. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

Crysallis: Is this a joke? Someone that earns $15k per month is a rich person. And would probably have somewhere around $12k or slightly less to spend to herself after tax. $1800 out of $12k to spend on break pad is a lot bro. By the way, the chances that she earns that much is slim/low. 1 Like |

Crysallis: The average job in the USA is 60k USD per annum except you are into STEM disciplines. In Canada, its about 90k CAD$. People who earn 15k monthly, thats about 180k yearly, are not average. Note, these figures are before taxes. 4 Likes 1 Share |

henryobinna:I didn't said $1800 is not a big money anywhere. But why is she coming to the media to seek senseless attentions with it? Is it to discourage others from going or what? If she can afford a car in Yankee, already shows she is a big woman and not the struggling Nigerians over there in Yankee. So why is she complaining of the money she used in fixing it? Since she wants to seek attention, why didn't she show us the car she is using over there, so that we will know what her worth is? For her to be using a car over there in Yankee already indicates she is not among the struggling Nigerians over there. So why don't she comes back to Nigeria and start a business for herself, so that she will not be charged heavily when she is paying her bills? 1 Like |

Why is she complaining? First it was the stable energy (electricity and gas) and good they used to chase clout on the Internet. Now it is comparing prices of stuff with Nigeria. If Nigeria is cheaper and better, why don't you relocate to Nigeria? Obodo oyibo has his pros and cons likewise Nigeria, why compare? 1 Like |

KingAzubuike:....I disagree, the only expensive thing abroad is accommodation, the problem with most Nigerians is that once they graduate from university they don't like getting their hands dirty, however, it is important t learn some life skills after University, these include basic house maintenance, car maintenance, Information technology and cooking, all these skills will save you money on the long run. Furthermore, simple search on Google or YouTube will help one out I times of difficulty. 5 Likes 1 Share |

delzbaba: Oga it's not true. Abroad maintenance is not like in Nigeria that you can bring parts from anywhere without adequate policy or value to human life. You can only buy parts through the manufacturers and its damn expensive to do that. That's why they sell to us anytime than buying those parts 2 Likes |

APCnaPDP:I dont agree. it depends on the car and this is U.S. not nigeria, service charges can be very high. The mechanic could have charged her 1000 for his charges and 800 for the brakes. go on ebay motors and see the prices of brake pads, there are those that are even more expensive, it depends on the car. |

I was just saying it that in the U.S they charge very high service fees especially for technical jobs like this. that is why a lot of white people do their own repairs themselves. i wont be surprised the mechanic charged as much as $1200 for his services and only $600 for the brake pads |

ryloy: All this gullible people. You want them to charge penny and yet pay their staff $50/hr Oh, I forgot shes from Nigeria and she want someone that changes brake pads to look tattered and hungry so she can be wagging her tail and be boosting how she works in a well paying company and receives jombo salary. Sorry miss in a developed country, every hardworking man or woman receives a good pay. You can dump your car if you can't afford to repair, it will even do the country a whole lot good. Reduce traffic, reduce the pressure on gas and carbon. 4 Likes 1 Share |
