These actresses keep stealing people's husbands to the extent that stealing has been ingrained in their offspring's DNA.

You have luck it's in Ibadan where morals are not crudely enshrined, your thief of a daughter should try it at Ogbor Hill then come and pull this same stunt there.

If Putin is assassinated, a full blown civil war might erupt in Russia because you can't say this invasion is only supported by Putin.

There are 100s or even thousands of rich people backing this invasion.

How did I disgrace him? Tell me. Do you live here? Do you know my income? Where did you get your fact that minimum wage in the US is 31k....Stop spreading false information about what you don't know. You and your baseless and childish analysis. All of you that stays in one corner of your house in Nigeria thinking that people pick money on the streets in America.
If you can't answer the questions I asked you please stay in your lane.

It is quite obvious that you just jumped to comment but i didn't know you had issues reading too....go to the first page and read the screenshots you will see where someone wrote the minimum wage in the state he lives in. No one is saying there is free money anywhere and i don't know your status for sure ,heck you may not even have a work permit as it stands.so stop writing nonsense. If it hard for you in usa then go back to your country. They no hold you down?

You may be lying that you are in usa,because this your way of response get as it be.

All i said was use the minimum wage of both areas to compare eachother considering their purchasing power(how much can both money can get you) in their respective places . It is not hard now!!!!!!

Ask someone if you don't still understand.

Did you studied Economics at all? What is the basis for comparison when the cost of living are different.
Stop saying what you don't know! Minimum wage in the US is not 31k it varies, it is even less than that in Texas where minimum hourly rate is $7.50/hr
Between how much is the person on 31k going to pay in bills? Have you asked yourself? I am going to use Houston, Texas as an example.. in a relatively safe are on the average this is what you get:
Rent (one bedroom). $ 850/month
Utilities (it varies). $ 250/month
Car insurance (varies). $ 120/month
Phone bill (varies). $. 75/month
Health insurance (co pay that varies)
$350/month
Feeding. $200/month
I am excluding internet and this bill is for a bachelor no family.
You are going to pay tax that varies on the 31k. Your take home without tax is $2,583/ month going by your 31k/year.
Add all those expenses and take off taxes you might be left with just $200 for you to save. What is $200 especially for an African man that has dependants back home?
The example I gave was my own bill when I first got to Texas. Mind you till today the minimum wage in Texas is $7.50/hr if you use that to calculate the bills then you won't even have the $200 left with you, you will even go on the negative. That is why you see people having two jobs which is not easy at all. You never have time for your life and your health will be at risk.
Nevertheless this not saying that American is a bad place to live but just be guided and stop the baseless comparison.


Your economics teacher should go to your house and flog you mercilessly for disgracing him or her on Nairaland.

Read what you quoted me for again but this time with your brain.

NB
Use the part i mentioned purchasing power.

Hhm... I really don't know why you're getting aggressive. It's a conversation and we're here to put things into perspective. I read you correctly before disagreeing. I think asking who in Nigeria earns up to the American minimum wage is a wrong approach cause Nigerians don't need to earn American minimum wage. This doesn't mean your position is wrong (I don't know enough about Nigeria to argue that). It only means you need other tools to express that instead minimum wage conversion. The fact that you mentioned purchasing power afterwards as a way of buttressing your point doesn't change the fact that you kicked off wrongly. There shouldn't even be a conversion in the first place.

The factors that make living abroad better include the availability of amenities, security and stability. Out there, you have a better control of your expenses (less probability of emergencies), investments will yield better returns, you have higher utilities, and most importantly, the tendency to earn even more. If you want to compare minimum wages, drive it solely by expenses and not exchange rate. The presence of exchange rates makes every other calculation wrong cause the sample earners are in two different countries. That's just my point.

You don't know enough about Nigeria .guy no dey mention or quote me if you don't understand what i am saying again. If you can't do your research to verify what i typed please stay away.

It is not rocker science compare the minimum wages of both countries with respect to their purchasing power.that is not too hard to do.

I saw some dullards quoting me and typing nonsense,some i ignored because i know they have nothing in their brain so it is a waste of energy responding to them.

I studied a bit in UK and worked small.
Like joke, I no just see that money.
As a student, you can only do part time work, ie 4hrs a day - £500 monthly. And E finish.
After graduation, I was doing 8 hrs a day. about £900 monthly. E still finish.
Rent, transport, gas heating (because of terrible cold), food, visa fees, school fees...
You can't just only work.
You must do another runs to get paper. And that one will chop the remaining of your money.
1, 2, 3, 4 years? Na im I kukuma return like that.

You will just be working as a slave.
Earn money, carry all and pay debts
Earn again, pay debts again!!
over and over and over till you are old.

£900 pounds monthly after school?.....stop it. Just stop it and keep your dignity. You don't have to lie.they have a standard minimum wage.

You tell me. I don't really know. And I'm not saying Nigerians are better off. I only said for conversation sake that the angle
u
from which you approached the subject is faulty. And I gave my reasons for that. Tell me the minimum wage, let's express the expenses as a percentage of that and we might just end up realizing both spend the same portion of thier earnings each year.

Minimum wage in Nigeria is 30,000 naira. I mentioned purchasing power right? if you didn't skip that part while looking for faults.

Abroad no dey easy. Urgent 2k no dey there oh.

The $31k is the annual minimum wage in usa, 390k( naira) is the annual minimum wage in Nigeria nothing like extra time pay.

Lol. Like they're not going to spend, right? The question is, can that 31k sustain the earner comfortably without having to share bills with other people? You can only convert whatever that's left for you to naira, you have to live first

31k is minimum wage ,how much is minimum wage in Nigeria? After doing that now compare both parties with your own response.

Except you live in Nigeria and work for an American firm, converting dollar to Naira doesn't really give any useful financial information cause the person earning in dollars spends in dollars while the person earning in Naira spends in Naira. What matters is the basket worth of the money. For example, someone living in a city can hardly survive on that 31k per annum. Someone who earns 500k in Nigeria will have more money than someone earning the dollar equivalent of that in the US. I think the upside for those living abroad is the basic amenities they enjoy as well as the stability.


How much is minimum wage in Nigeria ?

Own what !!! Rented apartment !! Read well before commenting. The combo apartment also rented in US. At least they can afford that here but can’t in US or western, Meanwhile I know someone who own a duplex here in nigeria but currently in UK living in a combo apartment kind of size of your closet. Anyway he said he is studying Masters
This building pix behind the football training field in Paris has the kind of apartment I’m talking about and most people living there are migrants, saw it when I visited.

The index i gave was for minimum wage bro and you don't pay back student loan while studying.

Now how does paris and usa relate in this case? You did not read at all. The pictures posted by op was about usa and my analysis is based on that.

And size of my closet in uk Lol, bro i no get closet o. Na 2 bedroom flat i rent but na wardrobe i get ,i no get closet( i no be liar). Plus that your friend is either lying or keeping some secrets from you because there are many housing options in uk ranging from hostels to shared apartments, to even living with a friend till you get back on your feet (if you are lucky).

About the pictures are you sure that place is not for asylum seekers? Migrants is different from Migrants o. Because I have friends in France studying and we do video calls very well. Lastly that kind of house you call migrants house na vi and lekki we dey see that kind house for lagos o. And if you know how many people use loan apps to pay their house rent in Nigeria you go fear fear. My Landlord came to beg my neighbour last week and said he can go with the over 9 months that he is owing him.

You did not deduct tax, insurance and hazard fee, plus student loan deductions for some.

Bro did you read my comment very well?

Why would a cleaner be paying student loan?

In the United States, the average single worker faced a net average tax rate of 22.4% in 2020, In other words, in the United States the take-home pay of an average single worker, after tax and benefits, was 77.6% of their gross wage.

Now ask yourself how many Jobs dey Nigeria, how many pay benefits and how much is your purchasing power.

Na who get job dey get salary and people wey no get job full Nairaland.

Because your former classmates never start to they buzz you for urgent 2k abi? It's either you don't have them as friends or you are extremely stingy or broke.

Nigerians will travel to America or western world, leave their 3 bed apartment to live in combo apartment, the size of closet. the kind of house they will not stay in Nigeria. The reason is that the cost of this combo apartment per month is your one year 1 bed apartment rent in Nigeria inside life . Meanwhile, they will take pictures in front of skyscrapers building and post on social media

There 3 bedroom in Nigeria The one they built or rented? If it was that easy we won't have multiple running into the yahoo and ritual business.

Even my father sent me a Whatsapp message some weeks ago with a bold text saying "never get married my boy!" " you're my son, and I'll never lie to you". He's living a miserable life with the stupid witch he put in his house. But nobody forced him to get married! So he's getting the taste of his own medicine!

Even if he didn't tell me any of this, I already knew my destiny. I knew I was born to die single and nobody will take this wonderful single life away from me!
