That is it right there! undecided
I’m googling cheap hotels in New York as we speak and their are some for $70-$100 dollars

I’m sure he’d have at least a full bed and somewhere to shower in such cheap hotels. Maybe even breakfast.

I don’t doubt that he slept in such conditions but saying he paid $80/8 hours seems rather silly. Maybe he wasn’t wise at all. He let himself get fleeced

US is not for the weak. I prefer European countries in terms of housing and accomodations.

There are dirt cheap hotels that cost that much per day as at now. Much less many years ago. Meaning he could have gotten hotels for that price or less for 24 hours since this supposedly happened years ago.

Na him wan stay New York. In fact even in New York he could have gotten hotels at that price for 24 hours instead of 8 hours and stay the whole day. plus some will serve you breakfast.

Pls shut up abeg.
yes he really needs to shut up. these guys will go to any length to blow out shitt

Even ordinary parking is worth more than $50 in New York, let alone where to spend a night.

Maybe he didn't know that one could rent a room in a house or even rent a studio or one bedroom flat for less money.

He could rent a large room in a warm house for less money per week.

I think he should shut up! As you said.

Na you get money to waste na.

When I had a thing or two to do in New York few years ago, I just entered Walmart and bought a nice and comfortable tent. Spread it tax-free around 5th avenue and enjoyed myself.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😶

No time.

Coupled with dust free and pothole roads, miscreants, conducive environment and you will sleep peacefully with your two eyes closed.

To think that some people will sell their properties that's worth millions of naira in Nigeria only to japa and go and be living like slaves in another man's country is the last wonder on this earth 🙄

But then again,that box is equivalent to a Nigerian mansion tho lipsrsealed
How's that casket abi prison box equivalent to a Nigerian mansion? You started well and ended badly. There is no place like home. If we have leaders who are average in leadership, our lives here will be far better than most average men out there.

New York is expensive but the pay is also high ie a job that will pay you $60k a year in Midwest will have you earning about $120k in NY city so it balances out and now left for you to make a choice on where you prefer to stay

Don't believe everything you read online. $80 for sleeping box for 8hrs which is $240 per day!

How much does a motel/hotel room cost for 24hrs? Most small hotel rooms cost less than $100 per night. But you guys just believe lies without doing your research!

Your search might be just NY but narrow it down to the city and the prices will shock you…Queens, Bronx and all those areas frequented by tourists are usually very expensive when you book at short notice. There was a time I booked for short notice in DC and couldn’t find anywhere less than $200 and when you add the hidden charges and taxes it will push it close to $250 at time of payment and and I have encountered it many times even in Minneapolis that’s famed to be cheap so the secret to cheaper bookings is in planning your trip early way ahead of time

Same way, google hotels in Naija you'd see 5K, then go there and they'd tell you the one u saw online is not available and that the only available is triple that price!

I don't blame anyone who made the move or who is planning to make the move. Just be sure that you do thorough research about your plan and be sure this is your best option.

Also, make sure you don't fall into the hands of a con artist.

A lot of people made the move because they were concerned about their future and that of their kids because nothing in this country is stable.

Furthermore, the value of naira is zero; $1000 is currently worth over 1.5 million naira.
Re: Us-based Nigerian Man Shows Sleeping 'box' Costing $80/8hrs by cococandy(f): 10:47pm On Aug 15, 2024
I won’t doubt You guys but seeing as this supposedly happened many years ago, I’m sure bad as e bad, he could’ve gotten a place for slightly higher than that for the full 24 hours a day.

Anyway I won’t call him a liar. I just think he got taken advantage of and he’s claiming that’s how it is for everyone

But here you can book online. You have the opportunity to see what’s available and pre book it. Nothing like going there and they’ll tell you it’s not available
