You know the most underrated advantage of living abroad is their swift medical treatment and care

Do you know that Sam Okparaji died at Surulere football stadium because ambulance no gree start

Does this lady know how many Nigerians that has lost their lives because NEPA took light during surgical procedures

Do you know how many lives that has wasted in Nigeria to negligence and poor facilities?

Do you know I know someone that lost a mom because of 10k balance before treatments?

This is a free health insurance you get abroad for free

Let’s not even talk of minimum wage, basic amunities, security, standard of living and the rest

Omo I’m very sure Nigeria is the forbidden country God told Abraham

Do you also know that the number one reason to declare bankruptcy in Amerikkka stems from huge medical bills ?

Do you know that the average trip to the emergency room with an ambulance is not covered by insurance and cost around $2,500 flat?

Do you know that Amerikkka is so jewed that an on-counter treatment for malaria will cost you at least $700 (drug cost between $150-$250, consultancy and tests will cover the balance)?

Have you heard of goyslop? To eat natural healthy food will cost you three times what it will cost you here in Nigeria. Unless you like eating mystery meat cultured by Jews and their Monsanto GMO poison.

Are you aware that Amerikkka is the only country that indebts it's young before they get a job all in the name of student loans ? And that the racket has now spurned a new industry known as the Academic-Labour industrial complex ?

Are you aware that JewSA is the only country on earth that has private prisons for profits ? The Prison Industrial complex that has LEAs and the jewdiciary ensuring that Amerikkka remains the nation with the most incarcerated nation on earth.

So much for the land of the free and brave.

Amerikkka is the land of the fee and slave . An economy based on revolving debt.

Google the word "Economy" and find out its true meaning which stems from ancient Greek to mean : to lack.

The JewSA is a dystopian slave society.

This is after all, a nation that got a head start with slavery.

COMPAQ:


Not only is it not free, but it's probably the most expensive in the developed world.

Few months ago I fell down the steps in houston and broke a toe. Even with insurance I paid $900 out of pocket for a minor corrective surgery. If I didn't have insurance it might have cost like $3k

In the UK or Europe, that's free.

MrBroke:
Nigerian lady has compared the cost of living in Nigeria and the U.S., and thereafter, asked Nigerians which of the countries offers better or cheaper standard of living.

In her post, the lady said the cost of buying a full tank of petrol in Houston, Texas is $45 compared to Nigeria where she put the figure at N45, 000. She went on to state that the cost of renting a two bedroom apartment in Houston a year is "$9, 600" as against the "N2 million" one would need to get a decent one in Nigeria. She also compared the cost of purchasing food, internet services, monthly wage earnings as well as home security between Nigerians and their counterparts in the U.S.

Check the name and you will know that she probably has no sen*e.

70,000 for airtime and internet?

Many of us are online 24/7 doing stuffs and we no dey spend 25k per month.

2 million for 2-bedroom depends on location. She should also know that there could be more expensive places in Texas and the U.S.

In summary, na one of these obidunce people.

I totally disagree with her, she got all her analysis wrong except for the grocery part. A two bed apartment in Houston can never be $9.6 per annum. Where I live which is relatively cheaper than Houston, it cost any where from $800-$1200 a month for a 2 bed. My motgage is $1.5k a month and its a now build, 4 bed. With 2 garage. Internet cost abt $50- $100 a month, excluding phone bills which is like $25. A full tank of gas will cost you from $60. I wonder where she got her data from. By the way, I live in Indiana

Oga go and type your first paragraph on YouTube, use Canada, US and UK as case study. Come back here afterwards

No mind am. NHS in UK that has months and in some cases years of backlog in surgery for patients.

Better than Nigeria by far no doubt, but certainly not wonderland like he's painting it to be.

As for US don't even go there. It's the most medical expensive system in the developed world. Don't be confused by the movies you watch where they dial 911 and ambulance e shows up in 2 minutes. They don't tell you the bill that follows. If you call emergency services, the cost of that ambulance might be like $2k.

If you have insurance you might still pay copay of like $400

LegendHero:
Lol, the lady did some delusional tactics well. Most of the things she stated there are lies for USA or she probably live in the extreme suburb where she has to take 2hours ride to get to the nearest city.

—Consistent internet which will give Wi-Fi for a home for instance should be within $60-$100 monthly. Your phone bill could be $30, but it’s not gonna power most of your household gadgets and etc coz that $30 won’t be on an unlimited data plan.

—How can 2bed rent be $9600 per year? Does she mean in Houston for example, you’ll get a 2bed apartment for $800? She’s probably hallucinating.

In ATL for example, house rent in the city area for that 2 bed are usually within $1500-2500 per month. On top of that, you pay Light bill, gas bill, and the apartment monthly charges on sewage and common area if you live in an Apt complex. That could be additional $250 on it.

If it’s now mortgage, no way in hell will you get that monthly payment.

On average, in a city, you’ll pay nothing less than $18k yearly and that’s even being conservative. It could go up to $28k in total for most cities.

—I agree with her groceries of $700 monthly. That still make sense if you’re only spending on food.

However, to go out to a restaurant for 2 people, you spend nothing less than $80-100 in one sitting especially for Nigerian food restaurants. To the lounge, you spend nothing less than $100-$150 if you factor hookah and drinks for 2 people.

Except if you be get inside person will you even spend that monthly. Coz me I count jollification with food price.

The only reason you type this trash is to make poor Nigerians relax so you can keep benefiting from this evil administration. Your kind disgust me

COMPAQ:


Are you joking? The fuel tank on a Camry is like 15gallons

No sensible person drives their car until the petrol is totally dry. Most cars gas light would even come on once you have about 2 gallons left ( 50 miles)
So, realistically people with such cars would buy gas before the light comes on.

Simple maths
15 gallons minus 2 gallons = 13 gallons. For a full tank

sonnie10:

Why are people like this? Where is lie in that?
$45 will get you about 13 gallons of petrol at $3.3 per liter. When converted to liters, 13 gallons is 49 liters.
How many small or mid size sedan takes more than 50 liter of petrol?

You and her are indeed right.

I had to go look up the price chart for the different states/cities in the USA, but my mistake was to think the listed prices was per litre instead of per gallon.

You are criticizing the lady without asking her how she arrived at her numbers. Maybe you are more delusional than her.
It seems like the lady is analyzing a budget for a college dormitory student or an individual with a room mate.
Her numbers are quite low for an independent working class or a family. I pay $3500/month for my mortgage, $200/month - phone bill (3 family lines)
$250/month for 2-vehicles insurance
$180 for cable & internet.
$1500/month -car payment (2 cars) Range Rover & Lexus RX350.
$150/month - water bill.
$300/month - electricity.
$1000 - $1500/month - groceries (family of 5).
$1000 - miscellaneous (I.e Nigerian families, car repairs, house fixes, lawn/yard care etc.)

Your mid level of reasoning should rather disgust you than what he typed cuz I can't read where LegendHero discouraged migration to the US. The problem with most of y'all is that you hate the truth and are disgusted by it even when told. America will paint their country to be the best in their movies and News outlet and shallow minded individuals like you easily get deceived.

America media will not tell you each hour, everyday, 312 Americans are being shot, They'd still not let you know the rate of daily missing persons who are kidnapped, Robbery of which most of em victims are shot dead, I guess you also dont know, over a hundred thousand Americans migrate out of the US to other countries yearly. I'm sure if I expose more to you, you'll still think I'm tryna discouraging you cuz what's painted on your mind is the USA is a heaven on Earth.

So a college dormitory student pay $800 for on campus lodge? Can you see you don’t know what you are saying?

She clearly stated that it’s for a 2bedroom Apt but you are here trying to say she meant to say it’s a college dorm. In the state you live, do they rent 2 bedroom apartment in a college dorm?

Can you see you’re even more delusional that the said girl?

ireke:



Shhhh..... it's enough .... off your mic

rent at $9,600 per year. when even some student will pay upwards of $500 per month for shared accommodation in university dormitories.

If she bought a $180k house (3 bedroom)with 20% down payment in 2020 before the housing bubble and when interest rate was at about 2.5 - 2.8%, she could be paying that amount or even less in a good neighborhood in Texas.

Bro, me I sometimes help people migrate to USA especially in student visa route and you will never see me discourage anyone trying to migrate to USA.

Shey na my papa get the country ni Abi why will you discourage anyone from moving abroad?

My comment on this thread is just to call that lady out for misinforming Nigerians. If calling out lies mean I’m blocking Nigerians from traveling abroad, then you have to question your intellect and you more of assimilation.

Sadly, reverse is the case for those countries

You are correct about what you mentioned. USA is still better than Naija but the lady should have stated the actual truth about the cost of living instead of trying to lie to pass her claim.

That’s what I corrected on this thread.

Lastly, this minimum wage people keep saying, what is the percentage of government workers or graduates in the formal sector that earn exact 30k monthly? People shouldn’t just throw word around. I’m not sure they’ll be up to 3% of the total workforce.

All these dumb comparisons, who all these crap epp?.

This comparison isn't balanced.

1. Is US and oil producing country?
2. Could it be that the location in Houston where she's using for comparison, is strictly for the Elites?

I don't know why people border about this type of post it's the handwork of APC, can you compare the standard of living in US with Nigeria, what is the par capital income, you work for six hours in a day in US your pay is like some people take home for six months

#200k for decent food......?!

Maybe single or no children
But with those mouths from hell, it'll take cities to fill those stomachs up.
Good balanced meals for a family cost at least #20k daily

A very stupid article , are the wages the same.
She can move to Afghanistan,it's cheap there .

After doing the costs of living, let's now do the comparison of average earnings in USA and Nigeria per household?

Not to mention that US economy is 43 times bigger than Nigerian. So average Americans can afford those costs of living much more easily compared to Nigerians.
