While considered low-cost by their index, several African countries face a Cost of Living lower than the Index of 120, equivalent to roughly 20% more than New York City, excluding housing costs. This suggests their overall expenses, despite affordable housing, are still relatively high compared to their usual standards.
Nigeria itself faces high inflation, affecting housing, food, and transportation. BusinessDay recently conducted a poll, and its results revealed that “100% of respondents are dissatisfied with the current cost of food, and 75% believe the government isn’t doing enough to address the issue.”

A respondent said “As a graduate looking for a job I can’t afford a room and parlour self-contained in Ibadan at Bashorun areas, talk less of moving to Lagos to look for the same accommodation at Costain close to Ijora, where I think I can see a better opportunity for a job,”

Regardless, analysts have predicted the cost of living will ease in 2024, “This year should be better than 2023, but it won’t be the total transformation of the economy or major reduction like in 2023,” Adeola Adenikinju, a professor of economics and president of the Nigerian Economic Society, said.

Supreme Court says Texas can arrest and jail migrants
7 minutes ago [ Tuesday March 19. 2-24]
By Bernd Debusmann Jr,
BBC News, Washington
The Supreme Court has allowed Texas to enforce one of the toughest immigration laws enacted by any US state in recent memory.

The measure allows police to arrest and prosecute those suspected of illegally crossing the US-Mexican border.

The Biden administration has challenged the law, calling it unconstitutional.

Crossing the US border illegally is already a federal crime, but violations are usually handled as civil cases by the immigration court system.

One reason the Texas law, SB4, is so controversial is because courts have previously ruled that only the federal government can enforce the country's immigration laws, not individual US states.

Fooool stop.

Meanwhile, I guess you're validating this oyibo quote below (about black Afriçans not able to rule themselves/ govern society ), instead of you to be ashamed.

It's not only 525 ..... Do you know how many tribes are in USA ?

Besides, of you weren't a big fooool you'd have thought that the president should have hurriedly devolute powers .... But would their greed allow it ?

Yet they use idiots like you to try to dodge from the responsibility they've got and could have made easier

Fooool stop

Depriest2020:
If I say "it's a black man thing" some people will be offended by my statement.

Obrigardo:


You just wrote a lot of trash but conveniently sidestep that Criminal trump is a court adjudicated rapist, has 91 Criminal charges from 4 Indictments and a dwindling republican support.

Stop living in fantasy world bro. There's no way he can win President Biden because Criminal trump needs the presidency to survive his legal troubles, he has no policies or plans for a united America.

And please stop talking about the border when Criminal trump ordered house Republicans to reject the Senate bipartisan border bill.

DON'T LET THE POLLS FOOL YOU.

Criminal trump is much more weaker than he was in 2016. Even when he lost in 2020, he wasn't a Criminal defendant then. And you think Americans who value the rule of law will vote in a Criminal defendant when they haven't ey resolved his Criminal charges.

You are not grounded in reality bro.

All these Hamas Terrorists supporters and apologists should be kicked out of Europe, US and Canada back to Afghanistan, Iran, Syria, Yemen etc.

EVERYONE HIDES UNDER THE PRESIDENT IN NIGERIA.
WE HAVE PEOPLE WHO CANNOT RUN THEIR OWN FAMILY, RUNNING A WHOLE STATE AS GOVERNOR.
SOME GOVERNORS JUST WAIT FOR FEDERAL ALLOCATION EVERY MONTH, BUILD ONE OR TWO FLYOVERS.
ONCE ANYBODY COMPLAINS, THEY POINT TO TINUBU.
SOME GOVERNORS ARE INVITING THE PRESIDENT TO COMMISSION PROJECTS
SOME OTHER GOVERNORS ONLY CALL FOR KIDNAPPING AND BANDITS, EVERYDAY !
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS TO PUT MORE PRESSURE ON THE STATES TO GET CREATIVE.
IF YOU CANT SOLVE PROBLEMS THEN DONT CAUSE MORE PROBLEMS.
GOVERNORS SHOULD INTERACT MORE AND LEARN FROM EACH OTHER.
PREVIOUS SUCCESSFUL GOVERNORS SHOULD LECTURE THE NEW ONES.
PEOPLE LIKE FASHOLA, AMAECHI, FAYEMI,WIKE,NGIGE THAT HAVE BEEN GOVERNORS AND MINISTERS SHOULD OFFER CONSULTANCY TO THESE NEW GOVERNORS.
HAVING THE REQUIRED VOTES DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY MAKE YOU QUALIFIED TO RUN A WHOLE STATE.

Obrigardo:


So stupid reasoning.
You need to understand foreign policy does not decide the American presidency.
No matter how you fantasize bullshit out of your ass.
Voters carefully think about domestic issues and preserving of democracy before they head to the polls

And broo, polls don't really matter.

these same polls deceived criminal trump in 2020. Even weeks till election day polls had the criminal on top in the margins of error, and guess what - He still lost. These polls are not static, they vary and are dynamic. Tomorrow you'll have President Biden on top, next tomorrow you'll have Rasmussen putting criminal trump on top. They interview at least a 1000 people, and you think that determines the pulse of a 300m strong people and a 170million+ voting population? Get your head outta your ass.

President Biden will beat criminal trump like a drum this fall.
