What of India?

India is 6% ...nigeria is worse.

caspapa:
These countries you mentioned don't compete with the developed countries, nothing in these countries to use as yardstick to measure anything. However just imagine those countries below Nigeria have the same population as Nigeria, but our unemployment rate is actually high, but we can never be as bad as they portray us to be.

you have no sense guy, who told you Nigeria is competing with the developed countries, in what way manner or form has Nigeria ever competed.? besides this has nothing to do with population, its based on population size...
if they count the number of unemployed people in the world no one will come close to Nigeria... ... this is just based on sample size of 1000 or 10000 random samples...

DenreleDave:
I'm actually comparing with SA

comparing what.... what does population has to do here... its just stating mere percentage that is if you take a
Nigeria population size of 1000 people who are in need of Job, there are only 666 jobs, this means the rest 333 unemployed ... .
but in south Africa -- that number will be reduced to 332 unemployed.1 less person than Nigeria..
It has nothing to do with population.

stop defending Nigeria by making up excuses....you cant defend a shit hole

Oh, so I have been chatting with an obidient cum sore loser since morning

No wonder! You guys are impossible for sure. Nigeria will be to you whatever you say it is.

For me, Nigeria is great. I meet people doing well everyday everywhere.

I never said Nigeria is the cheapest. I said it is one of them - number 24. The thread is on this platform.

And according to your questionable source, less than 10% of our population are hungry. Still fair.

They would have been hungrier abroad but for genetically modified food they have in abundance

Thought you were already abroad You better think twice before you make a stupid mistake.

apc morron.. You better repent before it's too late...

Dotherightthing:
At this point, your mind is made. I have told you what the reality is even using myself as a typical example yet you continue to grasp unto stupid straws just to make you feel good and console yourself.

Google the list of cheapest countries to live in the world see where Nigeria falls. Continue posting stupid unrealistic stats.

When did anybody earning minimum wage beg you for for food to eat

Can you show me picture of Nigerians on the streets who died of hunger

My guy, you are a pained loser! Next time, think twice before you japa.

And nobody is stopping you from coming back to start afresh. Why is this difficult for you guys

youre so a useless APC supporter saying lies to defend your masters.. Lies a 2 yr old will look at you and laugh.

You even have to gods to call all my proofs useless..

How many Nigerian's are dying of hunge Each time I go out at least I get 2 to 3 people begging me for food per hour

Yes you heard me right... From people who have no job to people who have businesses but aren't making sales are all begging.. And you're here spilling trash with great tenacy.

Nigeria not even top 120 cheapest Countries .. .. And you claim it's the cheapest.. I know you'll say the proof is fake...May God deliver you APZshit morons..

You are just trying hard to console yourself. Pele. Sure, government used to subsidise gas indirectly. Go and google it.

Thank goodness, you've conceded that things are stil far cheaper here than abroad.



Is this your wish or what you think it should be

I said all houses in most gated estates come with those features. Some of those houses are even smart. In many estates, you are NOT allowed to have your own generator or drill your own borehole. Abeg park well jor.



Government still does. I don't have a generator because I have virtually 24 hours power supply except there is a major fault.
My main roads are good. I could get up to 100km/h on my way to work. I do the trip in 12/13 minutes.
Some areas still have access to water from the water works and they don't pay a dime. Once had access myself until I changed area.
I got all my children immunised FREE of CHARGE in the government facility. Treatment is still free in some government hospitals. You just pay for drugs.
God is our protector. Also, there is relative calm. I rarely see cops. There are no mass shootings here

Anybody earning well but deciding to japa is a slowpoke and is only trying to keep up with the joneses - all my friends are going.

Regular holidays abroad is just good enough.

Can you now see that you made a foolish mistake leaving your good job for uncertainty abroad

youre such a dullard
You pay minimum wage for 1/2 bag of rice and call that cheap..
Things are far more expensive in Nigeria.. You can't even feed on minimum wage..


So youre saying a house in Nigeria comes with..

Are you okay Show me the ad to any house in Nigeria with such free internet.. Property Insurance, security, heater, AC, dryer, dish washer and garden


Since when did healthcare free in Nigeria you didnt pay hospital when your wife gave birth. Just dey play ..


also when did Nigeria have 24/7 electrical



When did Nigeria have good security.. Oga park well.. Nigeria is most terroised country in earth...don't even go there. ..


Show me proofs with images next time or don't mention me again I hate Despise dullness. All my claims comes with proofs... Even Ghana is far better than Nigeria... non nonsense

Dotherightthing:
You can't tell me prices of things haven't gone up where you are!

During the period in question, minimum wage went up from 18k to 30k.

Petrol and gas got 'de-subsidized'. That's why the price rose sharply. Even now gas can be as low NGN550 is some areas.

Egg fluctuates based on the season in the north. Some months ago, it came down to as low as NGN1,200 per crate. Greedy southerners are the ones who keep price up all year long to the detriment of the farmer.

Just returned from a weekly shopping . I got soya oil(1 litre), yam(5 tubers), potato(more than 1 paint rubber), vegetable, okro, biscuit(half carton) and golden morn(400g), orange(20), cucumber all for NGN5,500 only. That's how much in USD?

Why should anyone rent a duplex That 5.5million will buy a bungalow outright from a real estate company

Even at that, the rented duplex in Nigeria will definitely have all the facilities like the one abroad has for sure. We even have smart houses in Nigeria now

Last time I checked, Nigerians are paid far less for the same job done by a white man. Stop quoting what the oyinbos earn! We are talking about you immigrants here

4k in US is actually 400,000 naira in Nigeria.

Continue consoling yourself for the foolish mistake of resigning your good job here and relocating abroad only to end up in a slavish rat race with no end in sight

you dull no be small. Does govt subsize gas ..

And the duplex house in lekki won't come with all the features I mentioned you provide them on your own..

In saner climates the govt provides basic things like clean light, water, security, internet, Medicare care, good roads, protection..But not in Nigeria

You earn 3m in Nigeria but
One kidnapper can empty your generational savings ...
potholes will wretch your car..
One medical emergence like cancer and youre finshed..
Nepal will frustrate your life with blackouts.
Network providers will make you feel worthless
Youre not free from sars or police brutality..


That's why once people start earning 3m in Nigeria they japa at the speed of light and go and enjoy a good life..

So stay there and be whinning..even your politicians japa at every opportunity they get..

JagabanB:
Some people are really dàft to be frank, no wonder u are all cryîñg about 30k minimum wage, someone could be on 30k minimum wage and be earning over 350k, u expect such person to be drinking garri as normal food?
U thiñk 30k minimum wage means everyone is earning 30k?
Ahhhhhh
Ahhhhhh!!!
The kind of cîtîzèñs Nigèria is cûrséd with tho.

you have no iota of sense.. Go and google what minimum wage means..
most people in Nigeria earning minimum wage are owned salaries for months, where they want see the 350k from..

Obaaderemi2:
You are so stupid. Ghana's total debt is $58bn for 30m people. Nigeria's debt for 200m people is $108bn. Idiot, which of the two countries is more indebted? Olodo.

What's the source of the nonsensical chart you are posting? Ghana for example do not have senators, they have MPs. An MP in Ghana takes home over $30,000 annually in a country where the gdp is less than Lagos gdp and minimum wage is lower than even Nigeria's poor minimum wage despite having an inflation rate of over 40%•
Bottom line: both countries have very useless politicians who have mismanaged the economy but Ghana's economy is worse and has defaulted on its loans with help Everytime from the imf.

I'm done arguing with you. You are retarded.

Typical Nigerian just trying to score cheap points by bringing in population and discrediting the image I posted
..

Politicians in Nigeria are far more corrupt, they earn around $85000 and have numerous allowances, and pensions.. Ghana MP doesn't earn have such privileges..

No Nigeria earn less minimum wage than Ghana but have higher cost of living

Ghana has better standard of living than your shithole..

More Debt isn't a bad thing... the U.S and U.K are trillions of dollars in debt while Sudan has no debt
..It's the welfare of the citizens that matters and Nigeria has no hope in that

The common man in your country is bleeped and has no hope..

So sit here and keep.defending your oppressors while they Bleep you hard in the ass..

Are you dullll*rd Tomato is a seasonal crop. It becomes very expensive during the rainy season for 2 reasons - flood and disease.

During the dry season, it becomes very cheap. One very big basket can get as low as NGN1,500.

I know people earning that salary(3m and less) who have houses in VI, Lekki,PH etc etc. I am not guessing. If you are bad in managing your finances, that is your hard luck. USD4k is actually NGN400,000 in Nigeria And with 400K, you are still balling here. Just know how to cut your coat according to your cloth.

Forget those price lists, some are largely overexaggerated. Also, minimum wage has increased since 2015.

Many people japa just to keep up with the joneses. They are MORONS!!! They absolutely have NO reason to leave!

Regular holiday visits are enough to expose your family to the world. You don't have to live abroad to belong.

oh clap for yourself I guess fuel 97 to 617, sim - 100 to 500, egg 30 to 100, gas 200 to 700.. Are all seasonal too..

And for you info 3 million can only rent you a house in lekki for 4 bedroom duplex..

This house below rents for 5.5 million per annum in lekki
Similar rented house in Houston costs 20 million and the one in Houston wil come with
property insurance,
free routers, unlimited internet
security,
a garden, and
free AC, heater, washing machines, dryer, and
24/7 electricity ...

In lekki you will still pay for all these things seperately..


And no 4k USD is like 120k in Nigerian not 400k...

Meaning 3 million is far out of reach for the average guy but people earn 4k USD easily in the U.S...

So stay here and be defending this shithole with hunger while your mates are leaving for a better future...😂

boldtruthalways:
This is a stupid analysis..How can he be comparing Nigeria with Ghana? Nigeria is 7th largest producer of crude oil in the world. If not corruption of political class, Nigeria has nothing to do with poverty. He should be comparing Nigeria with UK, U.S, Japan, etc not Ghana. Indeed, common sense is not common.

No Nigeria is even worse than ghana.. The comparison is filled with lies and quarter truths. They will. never tell you that ghana has 24/7 electricity ...and quality of life is better there.. Their universities provide business funding for the graduate something Nigeria can't even dream of

Mind you gdp of ghana is less than gdp of lagos..

victorsola:
there small population should make it easy for them to manage their resources but they even worse pass nigeria . Just imagine say dey plenty reach nigeria dey for Dey the same rank with somalia.

lol Nigeria is wose than ghana. Just hold it there..
They earn more minimum wage and have more standard of living than you..

More population suppose to be an advantage not disadvantage.. That's why lagos is far more populated than sokoto

Hope you're not begging those wailers.
Those who are not happy with this country should Japa.
Some of us who have hope in the country will remain.
A friend just told me how he ate breakfast for 7k at Cotonou here, ordinary rice and meat.
He said it's hard to see a fat person in that place, everyone has a flat stomach.
I'm not holding brief for the government, but say Nigeria is the worst country, na lie.
I now understand why Dangote employed 11,000 Indians, no matter what you give Nigerians, they won't be satisfied.
It is better to give those who appreciate and are thankful, all that Nigerians do is complain and murmur, no wonder most Nigerians are frustrated.

and what is the minimum wage there and standard of living in contou Is Nigeria any close

Obaaderemi2:
Calm your titties! What's the lie in what i said? Is fuel not more expensive in Ghana than Nigeria? Go and check out what their inflation rate is and come back to tell us how their economy is not in a worse state than Nigeria's. Are they not more heavily indebted than Nigeria? Are their politicians not corrupt? Did I mention anything about school fees or any of the nonsense you mentioned here?
If Ghana is alluring to you, thrn take off your ass and go there. And if you are there already, good luck to you.

just close your mouth.. Typical Nigeria spiling trash defending failure..

Nigeria is in larger debt than Ghana despite earning more GDP.... And your politicians are far more corrupt..

A senator in Nigeria earns more than senator in the U.S.. A poverty capital of the worlds for that matter...
Shame suppose dey catch una wey dey defend this country when youre not a politicians

philipobiz:
How much are their politicians earning, and revenue Ghana is generating?

gdp of lagos = 30 million
Gdp of ghana = 27 million

Only a fool will take what these guys say seriously

Ikukuudo:
Hmm how through is this?

How about food prices, and house rent, this sounds fair enough but then I believe there are some areas not mentioned.

its all lies don't believe it..

Ghana minimum wage is actually $57.. And they have 24/7 light..


Likewise their tuition fee comes with textbooks, health insurance, accommodation, business grant and other benefits Nigeria universities will never give you.

This country is just too bad but they're trying so hard using lies to make it look good.

tamdun:
If resources were to be shared by population,Ghana is richer than Nigeria yet they pay more for education

yea they're richer and the

gdp of lagos -- 30 million. Population is 15.1 million.

Gdp of ghana -- 22 million population is 27 milion.

Just dey play...

Obaaderemi2:
Of course, Ghana is an oil producing country. Ghana today is in a bigger mess than Nigeria. Their politicians are very corrupt. They borrow money and loot it.

Reno is actually correct in all he said here.

Youre a liar Nigeria is worse than ghana
. They have 24/7 power suply..

Ghana minimum wage is $57 not $40

They're not an oil producing nation. Nigeria is.
Their school fees included both feeding and accomodation. Nigeria doesn't

Don't know what nigerians like you gain from lying to yourselves

Kei144:
We may not doubt whether life in Nigeria is cheaper than in Ghana. But the issue is, why must we continue to get government that worsens the plight of Nigerians? Is it not better to have government that makes life even easier for Nigerians? Is it impossible to make life easier? Must life continue getting harder, just because there are other countries whose conditions are worse than ours?

lies Ghana is better than Nigeria

walefresh3:
bros the guy is saying the truth..

I just came back from ivory coast few days ago... Ordinary coke to drink there na wahalah.. u must be extremely rich before u can ride on SUV car ...

One bottle of coke in ivory coast is 700# nigeria money equivalent to 650cfa

I know that Nigerians are suffering but is far better than many countries...

The differences between ivory coast and Nigeria is that.. there is what we call orderness..

Ordinary citizens can't go into supermarket and buy finished goods if u are not that rich...fact.mmif u have friends there , u can confirm dis..

Ivory coast has it.. their country is very neat and well organized...

Beautiful infrastructures.. good maintenance than nigeria... U will thought u are in Europe...

But nigeria has good economy than Ivory coast...

una don come again comparing prices to countries that have better standard of living and minimum wage...But will ignore the minimum wage and gdp In ivory coast it's 150$ n Nigeria it's 38$..if you take standard of living Nigeria are paying more.

Also ivory coast have 24/7 electricity, good roads and much better security than your country ... Idiooit

You are a learner!

If Tinubu opens the border tomorrow, a bag of rice will return to around 8k with time

When did Nigerians start earning same pay as oyinbos in US All the same, the true value of 4k dollars in Nigeria is around 400k naira

In Nigeria, there is salary and there are perks.

I know people who have achieved all those you listed and more on that pay

really I guess it's border that affect price of tomatoes too..dumb mofo


and you said you know people who earns 3million that owns several houses in lekki and benz. Can you point them out

With 3 million it's only uncompleted building and Toyota corrolla (2009) you'll be able to afford. Look at their prices below

So just stop the cap N3 million isn't much more as you think...

Someone with 4k USD is living a better life over there.. That's why people who 3 million then to japa for a better future and standard of livng over there ... You don't know better than them...

The wholesalers have been restocking since when the naira was devalued from 197 to 465(750 actually). No biggie.

Someone earning 3m in Nigeria will have houses everywhere, exotic cars and holiday trips every now and then among other things.
FYI, such people get more from other perks of office.

Besides the USD4000 is the US is actually worth far less than 3m in Nigeria in the TRUE SENSE of it.

And teachers don't end that much. Don't be a liar!

@bolded We enjoy all these one way or the other for real. For instance, I don't even have a generator. All my children got immunized free of charge. Treatment is also free. You only buy drugs. Our roads are okay where I stay etc etc

don't be stuppid bag of rice when dollars was 197 was 8000 now it's 30000.With the current deveulation expect jump in price, it has already started with fuel..

Also Someone earning 3m own several houses and exotic cars will still eat, pay rent, fuel his car, pay school fees, pay hospital bills, data and calls, ..

A standard house in lekki cost 60million, and low cost benz cost 15million.. One vacation trip to Hawaii cost 4 millon

Na from 3 million you want to do all these so how exactly is 3million im Nigeria higher than 4k USD in America

And yes 4k USD is earn by teachers over there .. It's not big of a deal over there.. Such money 99.9% of Nigerians won't earn it until they die..only the elites earn such in Nigeria

clems88:
The only thing that can make me japa without looking back is if available been offered an employment letter with life permanent residency, apart from that I'll just be going on vacation to flex . I rather be a big boy in Nigeria than be an average man for another mans land😉

lol it's 100x easier to be average man over there than a big boy here..use your brain ...if you doubt me, look at your politicians... They earn more than 100k$, but always running abroad.. All their kids are abroad. I guess you know more than them..

Taiwo20:
Some people are better off staying than traveling
You can’t skip, postpone or avoid bill abroad.
You can decide not to pay PHCN and water bills for two months buy charge your power bank and getting water elsewhere in Nigeria.

Abroad is lonely, even for those that have spent long term there.

With your income and side hustle, I cannot advise you except if you are willing to pay.
Spend two hours in your bathroom and up will come up with a decision.


P.S: If you decide to go, kindly hand over your side hustle to me.

besides who will cut off his nepa for two months to start using powerbank What sort of foolish advice is this?

How will you charge the powerbank...

Youre saying he should choose on pu4pose blackouts over lights .. Typical suffer head Nigeria mentality 🤦

yusuf0876:
You don't need to japa,u re doing well and your online side hustle will favour you more here in Nigeria coz of the rate of naira to dollar,when you have the money here in Nigeria enjoyment is 💯 compared to abroad and I'm also sure ur pay will increase as time goes on.

which enjoyment is in nigeria if I may ask.. A country filled with war, hunger, bkackouts, potholes, bad internet, inflation, book haram, criminals, kidnappers has no enjoyment..
Reason why people go abroad and no one comes to Nigeria for vacation ..


Use your brain

JagabanB:
My Bossom friends in Nigeria are on #30,000 minimum wage and they are doing well for themselves and own houses for rentals.
We both have examples, don't we?

lol who earns #30,000 and own a houses for rental.. People that earn such are drinking garri.. Dey play.. Is like you drank strong gin this afternoon ...

Dotherightthing:
You are right @bolded

Whether 3.4million or 4million, my point is that I know people who earn such even where I work and it is more valuable that $4k in US.

We have seen the effect of devaluation from 197 to 465(750 actually). It can't be worse than 465(750) to 790(850)

Wait until next year when wholesalers restock...and see prices of everything will double...

And what does someone that earns 3 million in naira have that someone earning 4k in the U.s doesnt..

Besides, The guy in the U.S has: standard free health care, security, light, good roads, unlimited internet, free education..doss your guy in Nigeria enjoys any of this..

Besides 3 million is not a common salary in Nigeria only super rich earns $4k per month but in the U.S teachers earn that easily...
