It's foolishness to carry 5-10 million to go and slave in another man's country. Why not start a business here and establish yourself. Abroad no dey as rosy as you think. Things are damn expensive and you pay for almost everything g living you with little or no savings at the end of the month

Regex:
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?

NOETHNICITY:
But why the thing dey pain you? Must you comment on the issue? Did she bring to matter to your page?

goodman5:
Can u change brake pads with 1800 in Nigeria

Crysallis:
This complain for sympathy is unnecessary. These people earn at least $15k monthly.

HardMirror:
hehehe. imagine the guy saying 15k is the least they earn in a month. Most people are earning about $30,000 to $35,000 some even lower. Except you are in a top profession there is no way you can earn $15,000 in one month. I dont know where people see these figures o. you are right.

as for the brake pad, yes it is a lot of money, but i am not surprised she is charged that amount. this is why most Americans are good in DIY they do their own repairs. if you are engaging a profession, then you must be ready to pay

delzbaba:
its only rational reasoning that when you buy an expensive car to show off, then forget about the future maintenance cost you will shed hot tears, the average whiteman will go for his ford or truck ,, while my naija people will get there and buy benz.

henryobinna:
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.

Don27tiky:
it does not depends on the car. My friend had to abandon his car when it had gear box issue because he was charged $3000 to get it done. We found out it would cost less than #150,000 to do that here

Boladdsox:
Aunty Bisola. Where are you? For that amount I will bring breakpads from Ladipo; get tourist visa and one way flight. Fix it free if you tell your friends to bring their cars to wherever I am fixing your so they can pay my return ticket and all.

Emyogalanya:
This ur point holds no water. 1800 in any local currency is not much abeg. Except wen converted. Its the conversion thats giving u headache. Within the us its a little amount. Just the other day one actor said he spent 800k to barb his hair. Simple maths

Emyogalanya:
what if we say i built a house with N10m in ngria, and i convert the amount in dollars and showed it to someone who stayz in the usa wont he say its cheap? And buhari is working. So why are nigerians complaining

confirmerg:
Atiku may probably lost the next election with the turn out Obi av in this Abuja rally. Abj vote massively for PDP in the last election, and this coming election Obi will inherit that vote.

Anyway Like for Obi
Share for Atiku

I don’t think I will blame them.
Most Nigerians are not enterprising as we think. It is poverty that pushed most to learn business by force.
If given better option, they will ditch it.
Most Nigerians are job seekers and not business-minded or innovative enough or good managers (have seen this in many companies managed by Nigerians).
A Nigerian will complain there is no light, good road, going to farm is dangerous due to Fulani herdsmen etc. You will think when he gets abroad with all the facilities on ground, he will hit the ground running but No, he becomes a job hunter hustling 2/3 jobs a day.
Now, some may give the excuse he has many bills to pay and not have time to set himself up there. …Agreed but what happens to the money they repatriate back to nigeria?
Most of their investments are either buying landed properties or building to rent out or sending cars home to be sold.
Again, this shows a mind of someone now business inclined.
Real Businesses creates jobs and that is why SMEs (Small and Medium Scale Enterprises) are the lifelines of a nation.
For a nation to grow, we need fighters and business-tigers who while making money (which is the end goal of business) are also creating jobs for the teeming youths flooding our society.
A country will never grow with funds in the hands of minds who only buy properties or build houses for rent or cars.
If we have so many SMEs, 30-70k jobs will be common. So it will be easier for a secondary school graduate, OND/HND/BSC holders to quickly cut jobs for a short time before resuming school to pay their own fees without relying on parents.
Youths can easily leave their family at a reasonable age of 23 years to start working and fending for themselves while growing.
People and govt are focusing on the big jobs and big salaries and big companies but it is the small small companies that lay the foundation needed to sustain the economy.
A 30k job here, a 40k job there, a 50k job here, a 70k job there will take a lot of youths off the street and crimes.
Am average bakery paying 30k for workers and 50k for manager.
A poultry/Fishery/Piggery paying 40k for workers and 60/70k for manager.
Milling factories - palm oil/vegetable oil/ etc
Paper mills
Saw mills
Textile mills
Mills mills mills mills are just dollars earning industries that … I just don’t know.
Food and other agro processing factories and companies etc.

Jonifi:
U earn in dollars why complain abi Na naira u won take pay?

donbenie:
Whether she earns in dollars or pounds..
1840 dollars is a lot of money,ANYWHERE in the world..

APCnaPDP:
Nobody charges you that to change brake pads. Highest will be $600 and that will be considered expensive. Stop lying

henryobinna:

You couldn't even bring a solid opposing opinion to support your claim that my point holds water, isn't that funny?

Bro, anybody that tells you $1800 is not a huge amount of money anywhere in the world is lying to you bro. They're lying to you.

The average income in the US is $31k per year. That would be broken down to $2580+ per month. So, you mean to tell me that ~70% of the average income earner's salary in the US is a little amount of money . Omo sha!

Remember average income is not the least income.

The fact that you use celebrity lifestyle to gauge what is big or little doesn't help your argument.

Just so you know, people who some people don't earn upto $1800 in the US per month.

$750 is about 500k now.
If I buy tokunbo car, infact if I buy Nigerian used car and decide to use it for 3 years, I won’t change my break pads with Sir K. More than 30k per year assuming I am using fake pads here in nigeria.

That is about 100k in 3 years but the truth is, since have been using cars all my life, have never changed break pads more than once in 2 years.

phemocheee:
You're absolutely right. However, the difference between the western world and Naija is that standard of living is almost the same for everyone. Hence, artisans charge a whole lot so that they can live comfortably like everyone else in the corporate world.

It is what it is bro.

This average income. Is it pre/post tax?
