Someone did a thread showing the cost of data around the world in Dollars and some concluded from the thread that Data is cheap in Nigeria. This is not true at all. Data in Nigeria, like many other things, e.g. fuel. food stuff, is not cheap, but expensive. Very expensive!

Those who make these comparisons are only pushing out a false narrative based on false comparisons. What makes a product cheap or expensive is not the price tag on the product but the purchasing power of the buyers. Let's take a simple example.

In the USA, cost of 1GB of data is, according to the data available, $8.00, while in Nigeria, cost of 1Gb of data is around $2.3. Nigeria looks cheaper right? Wrong!

Someone looks at this as then says data is cheaper in Nigeria. But that is a wrong conclusion from a false comparison. The simple way to know which is cheaper is to bring in the buying power of the buyers.

In the USA, the average wage per month is $2730, while in Nigeria, the average wage is N30000 = $58. So without looking too far, a Nigerian who collects his wage will be able to purchase with his full salary, 58 / 2.3 = 25GB, while an American who collects his wage will be able to purchase, with his full salary, 2730 / 8.00 = 341GB

So how is it cheaper for the Nigerian? In fact, A Nigerian who collects minimum wage will spent it all on one bag of rice and transport home while an American who collects his minimum wage can buy 20 bags of rice and still have lots of change left.

I can go on and on and on, comparing products and services but the point is clear. Don't let anyone fool you that anything is cheap in Nigeria. Things are astronomically expensive in Nigeria right now

Thats why I advise people to Japa live or by internet. Make sure you buy and sell in $$ and boycott UAR completely. When you earn in USD, you will love Nigeria but if you earn in Naira, thats sorrow. Most so called Yahoo boys beg for alms online but because, the alms comes in USD, they get rich. Someone can easily dash you 3k$ but its 1.5m here. Brothers and sisters, channel your energy online if Visa no gree come.

Modrov:
This is why I don't like debating on Nairaland.

First, I am not arguing for an increase in data prices HERE. Get that straight.

Second , and most importantly, since you have no facts to counter my facts, you just sit down and say that my sources are 'lying'. Well, the website i used is not known for 'lying'

Well, there is no point in continuing this chat.

Yea, you are right no written fact to counter but where I was, 1gb data is less than 1$. Broadband was very much available, people care less about capped data. Therefore, when someone says data is cheaper in Nigeria than Angola, it doesnt sound nice to my hearing. This is similar to someone saying Nigeria is like Afghanistan and second terrorized country in world then I come to Lagos, stayed one year and left. When you say that again, I will also doubt you because, there was no terrorist attack through out my stay in Lagos, you only hear it in the news.

Modrov:
Angola : $5.29 or 2,178 naira

Nigeria : $1.31 on average...which is lower than the cheapest price for data in Angola.

Thats what is written but not what it is...

Modrov:
So, data 1gb costs about N1200 or $3

In some countries, it costs $27

And we think we are paying heavily for data? We ain't.

Bros na lie, believe this nonesense at your own peril. In Angola, data is cheaper than in Nigeria but here the map says otherwise.

TripleOh7:
When you attack and kill the killer Fulanis, you don't leave some alive to run away.

You kill all of them and bury them in a shallow grave.

You don't go back home and sleep.

You maintain border outposts to warn of their return because you can be sure they will come back for a second round of defeat.

Modified:

Well, I did warn you they were coming back, didn't I?

Unfortunately, if you maintain border defence, they will send Army or police to come and clear road for them. I still think that's what led to burning of police stations in the east. The whole thing looks like Army are the official soldiers and herdsmen or Bandit s are the unofficial soldiers. I just don't understand the country walai. If FG really want to solve insecurity problem, it's as simple as allowing each state to set up a security network and register it or ban herdsmen from roaming about. Therefore, any herder killed in the bush is a criminal.

God strengthen lion of Panshin

Lol, no be only lion of panshin...Islam is just fuxkked, I wonder how soudi Arabia managed to make it work without terrorists

ChasinGood:
Match I was even straining to see on AIT is no more. They're now on serious advert. I'm not even calling the comatose NTA of a channel. Nothing really seems to be functional in this country. Thank Heavens for flashcore sha. Match that's just some km away from me o.
*Spits

That's Fulani janjaweedd for you. They are not good in anything except banditry and terrorism. Nothing works here and nothing will work until Nigeria stop quota system nonesense and start rewarding talents and merits.

CursedNsukka:
It is called progeria

The thing sounds like a new name for Nigeria after restructuring.

Zegemi:
Federal Government bringing FBI to train Nigerians on how to fight crypto fraud.

The same Federal Government is taking ages to hand over Abba Kyari the "super cop" to FBI to finish their job.

The truth is that these people are still confused on how crypto is making many young lads rich. They have been thinking that crypto is fraud and yahoo.

Old leaders with depleted brain.

Anything to hold the south back. Crypto no concern abokkki. All these effort is to make sure the south is caged in the useless economy. Crypto is here today and forever, we no longer need the useless Naira. Fraudulently taken crypto from another person is a NO for me but legimate crypto investment is the bomb.

Doradorwa:
It's not advisable to be in an open field when rain is falling. Look for shelter even if it's a tree

Yea, you are on point. I don't know why they are mentioning sango. They were the only conductors in the open field. However, they could have survived if someone performed mouth to mouth on time. Looking at their body, the current was not severe. Our education in Africa is very poor, I think I will go into teaching very soon at least contribute my own quota

maduka87:
Here to buy your faulty laptop

What of Desktop

uBuNiT:
Anybody comending this and has ever condemned ESN will be striked by amadioha

What igbos see sitting down, other tribes dont see it even on top Dubai tower. Fulani will kill, police wont arrest anybody but when you defend yourself and in the process the attacker dies, Police will come and arrest or kill you in return. It means police and Fulani herdsmen are one, na to fight both of them. May be not all the police men sha but how do you differenciate? I think thats what brought about endsars and distruction of police properties.

inoki247:
Nigeria don turn all man for himself....

And if u still carry arm to defend yourself the Govt will still come for u..

Na to fight them back. since they cant protect you, they should allow you protect yourself.

brosom:
As a bloody civilian,

Arm ur selfs on code, and strike when necessary period!!!

The government has FAILED..!

Simple and short....if Na AK47 dey available, buy and keep. Here in UAR , your life is in danger and the government don't care.

If you travel out and mention where you are from to those foreigners, that's when you'll know that the second stanza of the national anthem was actually a lamentation and screaming appeal.

I no dey tell oyibo where I am from again. At worst I tell them Kenya or Uganda. Telling them you are from Nigeria can make you lose great opportunity.

OBJlive:
Why are they pursuing the Bandits.They should lock down Afaka community until they provide the Bandits.That is their modus operandi in Southern Nigeria.
The military did it in Ohafia Abia state and some communities in Bayelsa.So why are they investigating rather than invade the community and hold them hostage
It does appear they deploying different strategy for Nothern region

Na so, as they don murder the guy that's the end. No single arrest will be made. In South east, we for here say 200 unknown gun men have been arrested in connection to the murder and abduction. Well, MNK warned the christians serving in the damnable Republic but the money to sweet to avoid.

pinkguy:
BUHARI finally handed over power to Fulani terrorist

Christians are silently been eliminated from top positions. If you are a Christian serving Nigeria with a top post please, note that the Talibans are here and you are not safe. I saw one news were they said the people monitoring the camera were sleeping...I said wow.

osamz007:

Story for the gods, keep deceiving your gullible followers.

It's called Taqiya...he will go back and tell them to forget his statements and continue with the business.

RoxyBrownAutos:
This is direct infringement to people's fundamental human Rights.How many persons have died of the virus since the outbreak.

People should join hands let us reset Nigeria

Coincidence

Anti Christ is already in Afghanistan.

madridguy:
Brilliant reply from the Taliban spokesperson.

Only the hypocrites will get offended by the truth.

Yes, US wants to be in control one way or the other. I love that reply from the talibanThat's why I like Isreal, they don't interfere with anybodys way of life but don't cross their own lines either.

Ekealterego:
Look at the comments in the front page... It will tell you about the joblessness that exist in Nigeria. See them jumping on each other to tell the same Igbos they hate what and how to conduct themselves ..

Guys, when you travel a lil bit, you will understand the failure that is Nigeria and their jobless youths.

Don't go and fight for yourselves like sane youths all over the world are doing, stay put on nairaland following every IPOB news

Lol, suddenly they have become caring about the economy in the east and how hunger is bad for IPoB. Idiots of the zoo Republic

Forgodsgrace:
Anybody with legitimate business idea that can generate at least 20k profit daily with an investment of 2m?

akintundeforgod18 at g mail dot com

Copy trading...2m is 4kusd. You pay subscription 200 USD and fund your account with 4k. Create an API and link your account to them. You are sure of 30% of 4ƙusd monthly and it's about 20k profit daily. You won't give anybody your money, your 2m stays with you but each trade they open, opens in yours as well. If they close it, your own closes as well.

Samunique:
Tomorrow he would claim it was youthful exuberance abi ?

Bunch of terrorists sympathizers

80% of Abollkis are terrorist s or terrorist sympathizers. I don't have any problem with that but they should just use Northern Nigeria alone. South need to wake up, we are not the same with these individuals.

BarrSly:
So disappointing to read this thread and realized that most people’s definition of “becoming rich” is premised on the basis
of their purchase of a car. I went through this thread hoping to see some testimonies of how things changed when people realized their companies net worth doubled or they had a start up which saw massive support and funding..

A car is just a means of conveyance and not a yardstick for determining riches.. I used to think a car was a way of saying I had arrived till I started to travel the world and mingled with business minded persons..

The Blackman and his ways sha

Black man still dey far...some people dey think say I no dey happy for them when they buy car. As everybody dey hail them, I go just say congrats bro..go my way. I no no why we value car too much. it's just like every other gadget that helps human life and anyone can get it. It does not mean you are rich

AntiBeEmCe:
If he thinks his explanation is going straight to the conscience of this Fulani govt ; whose sole aim is to keep the country united no matter the cost, then he's deluded.

When ipob was proscribed, they didn't bear any weapon. Youths were killed then, for merely protesting. Igboho's home was raided, people were killed, even without Yoruba agitators bearing arms.

So NINyASh, keep deceiving urselves, thinking that u are reasoning with reasonable people in Aso Rock... that's ur fvcking problem...but keep IPOB out of ur silly write-ups nd interviews.

You got that out of my mouth. I hate it when those cowards include IPoB in there speech. Make him dey there dey speak Grammer. He doesn't know Fulani don't understand English.
