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.

This average income. Is it pre/post tax?

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.

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

Most people earn $30,000 to $35,000 per annum? After tax I believe, right?

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?

KingAzubuike:
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

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.
many more

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.

Please enlighten me.
Let’s use the average job salary as a reference - $60k/year.
What will be the tax? House rent on average for the year? Possible average savings per year?
Are you based in abroad also or just hearsay? So as know the validity of your information.

phemocheee:
I spent about $750 (workmanship Inclusive) to change by brake pads and rotors. OEM products are very expensive.

However, the truth is that I won't be changing the pads or rotors again for at least 4 to 5 years...That's the difference.

$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.

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

That is still quite high.

The highest i will do my break pad with Sir K. (my roadside mechanic) is 20/25k max compared to $600=400k

Nigerians... we switch modes when it favors us.

A lady complains she used $1,800 dollars = #1,200,000 +/- to change break pads only (of course with workmanship) and some people started giving funny comments like -

You will use the break pads for yearsssssssss unlike if broda kamoru the road side mechanic fix it for her in Nigeria at a cheap price - For a start, who wants to use a car for yearssss in the first place? if am going to use a car in Nigeria for 3 years before disposing it, even God know say i know fit spend 100k on break pads alone within that 3 years before disposing.

- Another person said she should not convert the dollars, that it is because she is converting the dollars, that is why it is looking big in her eye. - OOOOOOOhhhhh, so now dollar/naira conversion should not be used? when they are boasting the save $2,000 a month and convert it to naira, it sound s good and big but hen we tell them not to because 11 months out of 12 in a year, you will be in abroad, spend, rent, school etc in abroad and should be calculating and relating based on your environment and not what your savings can do in far away Nigeria that you se less than a month in a year, they will say we are hating. ...Okay ooooo

SweetVibe:
Check this out

On this. In my earlier comments on this thread, I once said the society is hurting itself by empowering women instead of men because empowering men, has more far reaching impact on the society than women.
An empowered man will pick up a jobless woman and brush her up, his money also trickles down to the in-laws, his own family/parent, brothers, concubines/gfs/mistresses are also still on the sideline that will benefit from it.
So you can see you are not only empowering one person but a network of people but if you empower a woman, she instantly detest marriage thereby causing the money not to flow down. It stunts the growth of the society at the long run.

Yes but just like the car owners/sellers, they try to hide the faults and probably downgrade the the number of past users so as to get the highest price for the low quality assets as best as possible

These guys' talents needs to be rechanneled and harnesed for the greater good of Nigeria by creating technology hubs where youths will be taught high value computer skills including progromming, cybersecurity and they will become sellable experts working for corporations all over the world and earning in hard currency and boosting Nigeria's FX inflows. Even the dullest one amongst them will be good as a data entry worker after necessary trainings.

They are unemployed, confused, scared of their future hence their reliance on fraud as the only feasible means of for survival and escaping family poverty induced upon Nigerian youths by decades of failure of consecutive leaders of Nigeria

Franchas….. if the average Nigerian youth is exposed to more advanced internet training then it will be disastrous.

The mind of a typical Nigerian is dirty. No matter how you train them and employ them with decent salary, they are always thinking about how to use it to blow and drive big cars, club and retire from slaving 9-5.
Believe me. I was among them before and know their mindset

Hello bro, are you based in Lagos? because there are many tours/vacation agents in Lagos and they always have programs all round the year.
Every month, there is always a beach to go or resorts or daycation or stacation or outright vacation.
It is always fun - you meet a different set of nigerians. People of like minds where you network and socialize.
Nice beaches to go are Badagry Whispering palm beach, La Campaign tropicana (my favourite) and many more beautiful beaches they will show you.

Ekpekus:
Someone added a link to how much was remitted in just the 1st quarter of 2022. Irrespective of what it is for, the beneficiary are Nigerians in Nigeria in the long run. And the economy also benefit greatly from the remittance. Now imagine, abroadians keep this money in the countries where they reside. How e go be?

Well, if they keep it there, it will affect our economy no doubt.
Also, a chunk of the money remitted back are also non-oil/agro commodities exported that the dollars needs to find it’s way back to nigeria.
Many people don’t even know that there is massive exporting going on daily at the cargo terminals in Lagos and kano and exporters cashing in big time.
I know of a man in my area exporting 5000 liters of natural african honey to UK and his money has to find a way back to nigeria as remittance too.
The CBN doesn’t care whether it is an exporter or Nigerians abroad sending the money, all they know is that so so so and so money flowed back into the economy from so so period, to so so period.

All CBN knows is that within a time frame, an amount of dollars entered a particular number of domiciliary accounts.
