Nigerian lady has compared the cost of living in Nigeria and the U.S., and thereafter, asked Nigerians which of the countries offers better or cheaper standard of living.

In her post, the lady said the cost of buying a full tank of petrol in Houston, Texas is $45 compared to Nigeria where she put the figure at N45, 000. She went on to state that the cost of renting a two bedroom apartment in Houston a year is "$9, 600" as against the "N2 million" one would need to get a decent one in Nigeria. She also compared the cost of purchasing food, internet services, monthly wage earnings as well as home security between Nigerians and their counterparts in the U.S.

Rubyjade:

So a college dormitory student pay $800 for on campus lodge? Can you see you don’t know what you are saying?

She clearly stated that it’s for a 2bedroom Apt but you are here trying to say she meant to say it’s a college dorm. In the state you live, do they rent 2 bedroom apartment in a college dorm?

Can you see you’re even more delusional that the said girl?

Do you know that Sam Okparaji died at Surulere football stadium because ambulance no gree start

Taylor90:
You know the most underrated advantage of living abroad is their swift medical treatment and care

Do you know that Sam Okparaji died at Surulere football stadium because ambulance no gree start

Does this lady know how many Nigerians that has lost their lives because NEPA took light during surgical procedures

Do you know how many lives that has wasted in Nigeria to negligence and poor facilities?

Do you know I know someone that lost a mom because of 10k balance before treatments?

This is a free health insurance you get abroad for free

Let’s not even talk of minimum wage, basic amunities, security, standard of living and the rest

Whatever makes an American depressed and sad na mortuary standard for Nigerian be that

Omo I’m very sure Nigeria is the forbidden country God told Abraham

SenatePresdo:
Funny thing is that the average wage in America is far bigger than the average wage in Nigeria.

But our politicians are richer than their politicians, and its because suffersticated morons have chosen to draw us back far More than any region in Nigeria.

I was thinking illiterate majority of Northerners were the ones holding the few intellects hostage in this country, never knew the brown roofers are worst.

No wonder poverty reigns supreme over there that they can't afford to renovate their Houses after building it the time Rome was built.

Stupidity will cost your progress.

sweetTai:

Nonsense! Most college dorms are 2-bedroom apartments or 4-bedrooms apartments. I went to University of Texas in Austin and I stayed at a 2-bedroom apartment. Myself and my apartment mate shared the common area and the kitchen. $800 is very reasonable for a college apartment with a roommate. You evidently don’t know what you’re talking about.

LegendHero:


Bro, me I sometimes help people migrate to USA especially in student visa route and you will never see me discourage anyone trying to migrate to USA.

Shey na my papa get the country ni Abi why will you discourage anyone from moving abroad?

My comment on this thread is just to call that lady out for misinforming Nigerians. If calling out lies mean I’m blocking Nigerians from traveling abroad, then you have to question your intellect and you more of assimilation.

LegendHero:


Maybe your English is what is disturbing my brain.

When you say college dorm, to me it means an on-campus house where undergraduates usually live and it involves bed that are in the form of bunks. Is that what you’re talking about?

Or rather, you’re talking about off campus apartment which is situated outside the campus where people rent?

Offpointng:


Your mid level of reasoning should rather disgust you than what he typed cuz I can't read where LegendHero discouraged migration to the US. The problem with most of y'all is that you hate the truth and are disgusted by it even when told. America will paint their country to be the best in their movies and News outlet and shallow minded individuals like you easily get deceived.

America media will not tell you each hour, everyday, 312 Americans are being shot, They'd still not let you know the rate of daily missing persons who are kidnapped, Robbery of which most of em victims are shot dead, I guess you also dont know, over a hundred thousand Americans migrate out of the US to other countries yearly. I'm sure if I expose more to you, you'll still think I'm tryna discouraging you cuz what's painted on your mind is the USA is a heaven on Earth.

Solomon preached to us in Proverbs that in all our gettings, we should include Wisdom and Knowledge, I'm suggesting you do exactly

sweetTai:

If you don’t know anything about a subject. You should keep your mouth shut! Most universities buys neighboring apartment complexes and use them for student housing and some neighboring non-university owned apartment complexes are exclusively for student housing. Get your facts straight!

dazzlingd:
Nonsense comparison

People earn 20 to 100 dollars per hour

People do two jobs

People at the end of the month earn between 4k to 20k or even more.

If you do the type of work you do in Nigeria in the US, you will buy a house in one year.

BillionKnights:

I don't know man, you just made it sound like there's no truth in all she's saying and like there's nothing wrong with this country

nwakibie3:


That $45 is someone's two hour wage in the US, menial job ooo; can you make such amount in Nigeria doing same job in two hours?

IamPlato:
All these stupid people comparing countries.

That is not how you compare, you dont convert the currency to Nigerian money.

This is how you compare
What can 45dollars buy in America
What can 45naira but in Nigeria

Ode, that is how you compare.

Sirheny007:
For a 4th world country, Nigeria is undeniably costly.
This country will implode.


This I've seen.

RaptorX:
Cost of living in Nigeria is peanuts compared to the US. Where in Houston would you pay $9,600 per annum for a two bedroom apartment not definitely in Houston proper. Nigeria that three people can eat a full meal with different assorted meats for less than 10$. Talking about generator this is one of those Nigerians that haven't visited in 30 years, in this era of solar power and 24hrs electricity estates. Talking about security and America in the same sentence is a joke, the crime and murder rates in cities like Chicago. Baltimore, Memphis, Detroit, Washington DC etc or any city with a large negro population is through the roof.

Abbeytoy:


Learn how to appreciate what you have.

Not everyone is a fan of Japa, and not all will do so.

I have lost a cousin on the football field in the USA and a brother to Covid 19 in Qatar too, and it's not new.

Accepted that our electricity is bad, but we're better than some people do.

I look at those that don't have what I have and I never complain or compete with people that have more than I do.

Don't Make Nigeria/Nigerians looks like the Worst in the World.

DomPerignon:



Do you also know that the number one reason to declare bankruptcy in Amerikkka stems from huge medical bills ?

Do you know that the average trip to the emergency room with an ambulance is not covered by insurance and cost around $2,500 flat?

Do you know that Amerikkka is so jewed that an on-counter treatment for malaria will cost you at least $700 (drug cost between $150-$250, consultancy and tests will cover the balance)?

Have you heard of goyslop? To eat natural healthy food will cost you three times what it will cost you here in Nigeria. Unless you like eating mystery meat cultured by Jews and their Monsanto GMO poison.

Are you aware that Amerikkka is the only country that indebts it's young before they get a job all in the name of student loans ? And that the racket has now spurned a new industry known as the Academic-Labour industrial complex ?

Are you aware that JewSA is the only country on earth that has private prisons for profits ? The Prison Industrial complex that has LEAs and the jewdiciary ensuring that Amerikkka remains the nation with the most incarcerated nation on earth.

So much for the land of the free and brave.

Amerikkka is the land of the fee and slave . An economy based on revolving debt.

Google the word "Economy" and find out its true meaning which stems from ancient Greek to mean : to lack.

The JewSA is a dystopian slave society.

This is after all, a nation that got a head start with slavery.

NaBanga:
She must live in an impoverished area in Houston. The cost of the things listed are almost 30 to 50% more. However security is not a must.

Regex:


Health care treatment in USA is not free.

Ofadaman:
One simple data invalidates all her nonsense and that is, what is the minimum wage?

The minimum wage her is 18,000 naira which is 20$
The minimum wage over there is over 2,000$(1,8m naira ).
