ok o. Me, I don't eat indomie/golden penny...these our instant noodles sha. Too many chemicals. I hate it and don't believe it is a healthy food (tho I can't prove this) BUT my padi's wey dey avoid am na cost dem talk say be their reason not health. Also, I have read many posts from people here, either they are advising others or the people themselves are talking about how they have decided to reduce/replace Nigerian foods, and it is always for cost reasons. If you look around, you are sure to see these posts. It's all good sha.

This, in a nutshell is a microcosm of your entire posts - sheer ignorance laced with arrogance, knows next to nothing about life abroad, other than what your “padis” tell you and think you have a clue what you’re talking about. I had to laugh at the stupid claim that internet in the US is more expensive… as someone rightly responded, we get what we pay for. I pay $75/month for high speed internet. Here, high speed means just that, high speed and it is constantly on 24 hrs/day, 7 days/week. It runs my entire whole home alarm system, three 4K UHD streaming platforms with no lag, HD baby monitor, automated home lighting system, all cellphones and laptops. I’m currently in Korea on business and I can view my baby’s room in clear real time video and control my lighting system from my hotel room here… How much does your “cheaper” internet get you?

500k/month in Nigeria is equivalent to 20k$/month in the US. And Yes! You don't have it in your account.

I have never heard that word “prepaid internet plans” It is unlimited data at a fixed amount , and you don’t pre-pay. You use and pay that fixed amount at the end of your cycle, usually one month.
Putting figures into it, for $30 a month, you can unlimited 5G internet plan. How is this expensive ?

aside the screenshots, may I suggest you pay extra attention to the link below. It is exhaustive enough
https://www.cable.co.uk/mobiles/worldwide-data-pricing/
Airtel gives me 5k/ 40gb most times and 20gb other times.

Ps: let's just say I take back the term 'prepaid' I used earlier, wholly. I suspect that may be the next thing peeps will latch on to, ignoring the substance..lets just say i used the wrong term whilst I was trying to specify individual user data subs paid for, exclusive from WiFi at the office or elsewhere

With these few points of mine, we can see clearly that internet is more expensive in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia than it is in Nigeria, which once again was the key point, not like woodman has a thing for keeping to points, whether he be in the US of A or Korea. He rambles pretty well sha...like delving into ultra-fast internet and how it is great (since we all don't know it is great). Even with all the exposure, poor minds will be poor minds. This life no jus balance. I need to unfollow this thread, this tomfoolery is................................ deafening.

Good upbringing na the one your child will wake up and draw up tattoo anyhow like day her body na canvass come pierce am

Good upbringing na the one your son go wake up cut his dick say he is not interested to been a man... That he wants to be a woman

Good upbringing na the one your daughter go club die, do drugs and pierce use toto, nose, nîpplě like basket

Good upbringing na the one you no fit caution your wife how them dey train your kids

Which one you dey talk... High speed internet isn't that big... For you to pay $75 which is almost 60k here for high speed internet... It is a bit high. I am into IT... when you say high speed tell me the MBPS...thata no big deal at least 5G is here also in Nigeria and I know for sure that not all states in USA have 5G

You think that Nigeria is backward.. All these guys you are funny... Installing smart joke system in your home is easy naaa... Na simple Big Data and cloud system, you get sensors and automate your lightning system. We have smart switches... If you have a project I can deploy SMART HONE SOLUTIONS FOR YOU in Nigeria.. Don't make it as if it's a big thing. Your curtains will slide by itself, your light will on by itself... In short with the IPTV you can monitor your home anypart of the world...


We can deploy remote motion sensors that can even capture and video immidiately when there is motion in your premises and you watch it real time... Dude all those one you are talking na old technology naaaa... SMART HOME solution na old tech...what I am doing is smart energy solution... It can switch from grid to inverter and conserve your energy...

So don't make it look as if these things are new....it isn't expensive....i can deploy then for you here

Stop wasting your time with these idiots they’re stucked in Nigeria and don’t have money to travel abroad
So they hate to see people going abroad hahahahaha
So they will start saying Nigeria is better than abroad

Imagine that goat shouting 500k like say 500k nah money
In this risky economy that 500k is just like 50k

They go online to be reading rubbish about abroad and come here to be spilling nonsense
Airport them never reach
But they know more about abroad more than those living there hahahaha

it is a feel good situation... It is what fresh from the boats do... Forgetting that they don't pay in Naira there. Let's take UK for instance The Cheapest Places to Live in London:Barking and Dagenham.Bexley.Sutton.
Havering.Croydon.Enfield.Hillingdon and guess what it is an average of £1200 and they will start converting it in Naira... Do they pay in Naira there. Now that is the cheapest places ooo. We are not talking the tax, the utilities like water, electricity (bills is so high now courtesy Russia) internet etc... We haven't added feeding

Now the question is how much is the dude earning and how much is left

pansophist:


No vex comrade. I have seen the foolishness of man to a point wey I no care anymore. Freedom of choice also means having the freedom to make bad choices. But to expect me to help you clean up your mess, na there me and you go enter the boxing ring. Carry your cross yourself.

Most importantly, it reeks of a colonial mentality to see only the west as the destination for greener pastures. The world is so big and vast, that you can make it in most places. Brazil alone is a giant that is bigger and wealthier than ecowas combined, but nigeria has more population than it.

What about China? Colombia, even Russia? does it have to be the west, especially UK and US? This might sound like me being proud, but I can personally never suffer anywhere I go. I know one thing for sure, and it is that human need is universal. I will just look for something the world wants and offer that service. Cocacola for example is in all countries (well maybe except north korea), I will sell something similar, or food.

Or go into women hair, or transportation. If your eyes is open, there are so many things you can do, especially in a lawless country. I can make bread in my house and put a stand in a bus stop, and even police that should ask me for nafdac will buy my bread, and drink it with zobo I made. How can you cry of poverty in such system? You just lazy. Abroad for many is like giving themselves an impression of success, but it is not success. There are those born abroad and failure, so whats the point?

Everybody in every corner of the world likes Chicken and rice, I will open my first restaurant and maybe within the year, try and open ten more, and maybe 100 branches in the next three years, and dive into another related business like poultry and just keep growing. You can do this anywhere. It is a shame that Nigeria still imports foreign chicken. Instead of wasting 15M abroad, why not face that problem, in your land where you will be king? Where you will be the alpha male?

As a man, I know for sure that I need respect. In fact, the only time an immigrant should do menial jobs should be when they are a student, studying toward greater things, not as a mature man in his 30s, worse, 40s. Life would be hell. You will be so invisible, that all the fine girls and men that are successful will see you as someone they don't want to be friends with.

Fun fact, all the wealthiest black people in the world made their wealth in Africa. Not abroad, but in Africa. They may live abroad, but they made their wealth in Africa. What does that tell you?

I think if you have the required skills before leaving naija, you won’t come here to do menial job. My husband got a £47k job 10 days after we entered the UK. I also got a CS job with a bank even as a student. So it’s really worth it and we’re not even close to where we want be.We ditched our 400k job in Naija with no regret. You all should stop the narrative that everyone come here to do janitor or care plus people in those jobs here are treated better than people with white collar jobs in Naija.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/africa.businessinsider.com/local/lifestyle/ghana-has-the-cheapest-internet-in-sub-saharan-africa-at-dollar061-for-1gb/pm57q37.amp

https://www.cable.co.uk/mobiles/worldwide-data-pricing/
This is the previously shared link. This is the 3rd time i'm sharing it. It shows the countries with cheapest data. Subsaharan Africa has 5 out of those countries. Nigeria is one of those 5 @ 0.71. UK is 0.79, Canada 5.94, USA wasn't specified in the article but a cursory search puts it at 5.62. Wetin remain!?

Excerpts from the cable link earlier referenced.
The average price of 1GB of mobile data in all four North American countries is in excess of the global average of USD 3.12, making it the most expensive region overall. Greenland is the cheapest country in the region with an average cost of USD 3.36 and the most expensive is Canada (USD 5.94).

Sub-Saharan Africa has just five countries among the top 50 cheapest in the world – Ghana, in 40th place overall, is cheapest in the region at USD 0.61. The region also has five out of the ten most expensive countries in the world, with Saint Helena the most expensive in the world (USD 41.06), joined by São Tomé and Príncipe (USD 29.49), Botswana (USD 15.55), Togo (USD 12.94) and Seychelles (USD 12.66) at the bottom of the table.

The report showed that Ghana has the cheapest mobile data price in all of Sub-Saharan Africa, as the cost of 1GB mobile data in the country costs $0.61. In second place is Somalia, where the cost of 1GB mobile data is $0.63. Nigeria ranks third on the list as 1GB mobile data in the country costs $ 0.71. In fourth place is Tanzania, where the cost of 1GB mobile data is $ 0.71. Sudan rounds up the top five (5) list with the price of 1GB mobile data is said to cost $0.75.
