What is the minimum wage in the state you reside?
Compare it to Nigeria's 30k and show us the difference.

I don't know what the minimum wage is now cus I left. But as at last year when I was there, the minimum wage in AZ was about 12bucks per hr.

franchasng:
This is equivalent to 1 year rent for a Duplex in some areas on Lagos Mainland and like 1 year rent for a 3bed flat in some estates in Lekki phase 1, its not even enough for an agent fee to buy half plot of land in most developed parts of Lagos Mainland

$33,000 for one year of rent while I was an expat in Phoenix AZ. Excluding utilities and other bills like electricity. What can $33,000 do in Nigeria? It can't still buy land in Lagos?

fortunateme:
Ok. Those countries you've been to what is their minimum wage? About 5times ours. Do we have same purchasing power? No.
Goods are cheap here because of low cost of production (labour) Almost all labourers are paid below what their counterpart abroad earn.
If cost where to be adjusted to suit the average minimum wage in the US, price will almost at power with the US.
You only enjoy 9ja of you earn in dollars and spend here.

How's the minimum wage in US 5* of Nigeria? Of what standard or measure did u gauge this on? Y'all say what you have no idea on

Geo4646:
Seeking attention, hunger never catch dis one b4. no be acres of land, nah d whole Nigeria u for buy. Mumu

Ok.

Mindlog:
How much are you paying in monthly rent in the US, that can buy acres of Lagos?...Wake up!

I was paying $2750 in Phoenix back then

fortunateme:
Do you earn in naira? If no then you have no right to call or God cheap
Compare our cost of living to minimum wage. Quality of life here to that ur Us. Please don't poke us.

But the cost of living is too low in Nigeria. The lowest I've seen so far across The world. It's like everytime comes to us too cheap and high quality. What others pay for through their nose, we get it for free. We thank God for this, cuz it can only be God

ednut1:
There are over 133m Nigerians living in poverty . If Nigeria was cheap to them they wont be poor. Stop comparing apples to oranges

I was only saying my own reality. Have the damn ball to talk about your own reality

Basically, everything is fucking cheap in Nigeria relative to other countries, especially the western countries I have been to. The rent I used to pay in the US for a month will literally buy two acres of land in Lagos, and the amount I spend on food when I went to the US is enough to last me for the whole year in Nigeria if I spend extravagantly. This is what I noticed over time. Is it because wages and salary are not that great in Nigeria or there are other reasons to This?

imagrg:
We produce the all raw materials used in these foreign countries.

The economic factor responsible for this is:

Closeness to raw materials.

I think you're right. Yes, Nigeria has the raw materials. Maybe that contribute to how we're able to get high quality things at very cheap price

Alexaonfleek:
Some of you men are really sick.
Just because you want to punish the wife, you want the kids to suffer in a third world country with high insecurity rate when you're even the one at fault.
Tufia

Oloribu nio. How's Nigeria a third world country? How you people ridicule this country is beyond measure. And that for a country that gives you everything. Freedom. You went to school for free without debt. Can u do that in America? Things are free in Nigeria. Rent, bill, food. Everything is cheap

BigDawsNet:
Some guys are funny...

You japa, you lucky to get a citizen to marry you...
Now the next thing for u is to cheat?...

It doesn't worth it because if you don't get hurt...
She can use immigration lawyers to send u back to where you came from easily

LoL. This American slave at it again. Thinking everything begins and ends in America.

Another inferiority complex. When has US kissed up to Nigeria? These people dictate our life, what we eat, how we sleep, the number of wives we marry, and even tell us we can never be successful in our country without coming to slave for them in their own country. They even write our story and discovered our country

Goodlady:
We ll abuse you o. You are not normal naa. Hope your daughter's ll meet men like you so that when they v sex with them, they dump them. Your penis no suppose dey rise fir women when you know you'll get tired of them easily. Dey masturbate since it's cum that you wan cum or kukuma dey patronize only Olosho! No woman should take you seriously, infact they should notice you immediately and eat your money
You look like a rapist and a 40 secs man. That means you ll probably v sex with ladies you v slept with, without their consent. You can't date a lady for a week without sex. What if she's keeping sex till marriage.
And I m not surprised I v read about 4-5 different males here saying they are like you. You all want sex but no strings attached. Then approach women and tell them from first day that's what you want. Stop wasting their time else you all ll meet who ll use your destiny as revenge.

Why are most of y'all women on this app unfortunate? Is it poverty? Or clear case of madness? If a woman met me, and fall for my look, is that my fault? Or you think women allow men that are not good-looking to sleep with them? I'm good looking And I deserve whatever vagina thrown at me, I will not reject vagina.

PerfectStranger:
A week is much bro. Wetin una wan dey discuss during the 1 week?

Lol. All playing hard to get should end within 7 days or I'll assume she's not interested and leave

Halimaatz:
They might be amazed to see an uglee thing like you,who knows...

If you're the one on your display, I'm sorry you don't look any Better. You're not beautiful. But guys don't go for looks unlike women, so they'll still give u attention.

kwaso2:
Can you try starting a new relationship with someone. But this time, NO sex. Just friendship

The Max I can try without a woman letting me see her pants is one week

FalseProphet1:
You have a spirit wife. She's the one ruining all your relationships. You need help, send me a DM and we'll fix a date when you'll come for spiritual cleansing.

This I have seen.

Are you real?

rickpat:
all you want is sex bro,and till you stop seeing women and "mere" sex objects,well sorry to say NO HOPE FOR YOU...you have already configured yourself psychologically with such perception about women...so start by purging yourself psychologically

Hmmm. I think I'll need to work on myself

Kobojunkie:
If you already know this about yourself, why are you opening threads to ask us what is obviously a silly question?

Also, why are you wasting other people's time when you know deep-down that you are not really interested in them, to begin with?

Thanks. I'm usually interested but I get uninterested within little time

I'm the type of person that , naturally, the idea of cohabitating with a woman doesn't sit well with me. My girlfriend can't even come and spend more than two days in my house, I'll be thinking of sending her away the 3rd day. This isn't something I have discussed with any partner in the past because I don't know how women will take this.

Also, the idea of giving a woman attention isn't something I can maintain for long. All the calls, all the going out, all the small talks, ain't for me. If I'm calling a girl, and giving her attention this month, before next month, I'm already tired. I can't fake this and the whole drama fall down, and they start seeing me for what I am. All I want is sex, not any other thing. And once I cum,I just want you out of my space. I don't want you calling me, i don't want to call you either. I don't want you to think we're dating, and I'm not thinking of such either. If I can actually go with sex, I don't see myself real to a woman, but I can't, and that's why I have to always pretend like I care. I get tired of drama easily.

NB: please don't abuse me. It took courage for me to voice this out. If there's any solution to work this out , I don't mind.

BRATISLAVA:
Yes, it's tit for tat. No woman should take any man out there, especially if she's worked hard for it. Some partners can be lazy. And it's the worst thing to see a man who has no constraints sit and expect money and riches from anyone. It never ends well to the giver to such a man.

Imagine this guy opening a thread as if he didn't have an education too.

Don't mind them. Everyone should work for their success. No woman's entitled to my success and money and vice versa. I bring my look to table and so do you, there's no reason why anyone should depend on another. Hustle for your own success or get out make I found another girl

ednut1:
How can you transfer that amount so easily. Nawa

Don't you have up to that in your savings? Thought you're in Canada

Jennyclay:
If you support her with application fee nko? Mtcheeww.

Men should learn to help and not expect anything in return. Nawa oo!

If the lady decides not to marry you after spending on her, it's her choice and not a sin against God.

Biko, don't spoil her show oo!

This was the reason I refused to take my girlfriend of 5yrs with me to Canada. Left her in Nigeria. I used my intellect to get there, and I want her to do the same. I'll rather find a woman here than bringing anybody from Naija. If a woman is in my shoe, she'll do the same. I've been advising my friends against bringing their wife. Leave her in Naija and get a woman here. I'll rather help myself first than helping a woman to be successful in life

Omololaeni:
The funniest thing is she gave you the best advice anyone can give you. Don’t go to Usa on F2 you will get frustrated. Most f2 end up changing to f1 when they get here, the chances of both of you getting the visa if you go together is also very slim. Uk is easier to go with a dependent but usa hmm. I have so many colleagues here that both husband and wife came on f1 separately. People that are over 40years sef are coming through study route so I don’t think your age is a problem. Dust your credentials, ask her to put you through or better still surf the internet and process your own admission to.

Besides, I'll rather help myself first than bringing a woman up to level up with me. The only thing we're entitled to each other is pussy and dick while it lasts

BRATISLAVA:
Golddigger.

She used her intellect to get there. You want to leech off her. Use your brain and get there.

MrColdsweat:
Nigerian women are globally ranked 2nd for paternity fraud.

The person you quoted is a woman. Learn how to respect a woman. Without them, we're nothing.

Jennyclay, don't be angry at these guys. I know you'll find a place in your heart to forgive them. And yes, you're right, we Men are criminally minded, and we should do everything in our powers to change this narrative. We're sorry for the embarrassment we cause the Society
