You now being ridiculous. People on ground are telling you what obtains and you prefer fiction. See below
What do you mean by people on ground. On ground where? I’m literally booking it right now on my phone and you’re calling it fiction?

What’s your definition of fiction?
This is not Lagos where someone will take your money and then tell you it’s not available.

Any hotel you book on the hotel website here is legit.
Pls I don’t have energy for argument pls. Some of you thrive on baseless arguments.

You’re giving me average . Of course there are hotels that cost over thousands of dollars per night. I know this on a personal level. So the average means nothing. I’m also telling you it’s possible to find a cheap place for around $70-$100. No reason for the argument.

Asians are responsible for this grossness.

This is not an American thing or common, and may not even be a legal establishment. You're not going to find places like this except where there's Asians.

Immigrants who don't have much typically rent a room (a normal room in someone's house or apartment) that generally looks like this (or much nicer):
You got it. Asians are something else. They devise outlandish ways to make human existence more third class.

12 hours work without break - Asians
Staggered shifts - Asians
Re: Us-based Nigerian Man Shows Sleeping 'box' Costing $80/8hrs by IbeOkehie:
This is an extremely uncommon possibility.

A good friend of mine arrived in NYC from Nigeria decades ago. He went to a YMCA and got a bed. They also gave him a job as a janitor.

After a few months he figured out the NYC was too expensive and some Nigerians he had gotten to know suggested North Carolina. He's living a good upper middle-class life today.

In my teen years I knew a few young people.... Americans...that lost their family and (re)started their life from zero, couch surfing

Barring mental illness or severe physical disability, I don't understand how anyone in this country can be reduced to living in a box. There's rooming houses for goodness sake. There's all sorts of low skill jobs. Besides that, Americans are very kind people.

Good Luck to Nigerians.

Fiction is something outside what REGULARLY obtains, NOT people who'd rather get peanuts than leave a room empty. You gave example of going on vacation - how much you'll expect to pay for a regular hotel room in NYC. If you tell anyone you're budgeting $50 a night, they'll tell you good luck with that!
Below is what REGULARLY obtains

Bullcrap. America is not a single town, not even your typical country. More like a sub-continent. You can always pick and choose what works for you out there.

How many countries can boast of the large number of big & small cities in America alone. Just Atlanta alone will do me inside Nigeria.

AMERICA IS GOOD ONLY TO GO AND ENJOY ON HOLIDAY.



AFTER THAT DO ONE OR TWO BUSINESS TRANSACTION.



ANYTHING ELSE IS RAT RACE AND YOUR LIFE IS ALWAYS AT RISK

Na wa oh......

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
If you don't plan yourself well before leaving in terms of financial aspects, this is what happens.... but believe me when I tell you say e worth am because he can easily raise capital faster there, let's assume every month, his profit after expenditures na 300$ that's approximately 300k, how many civil servants with degree makes that in nigeria.... it's not every japa that is bad,it depends on the individual in question, make inquiries, carry enough cash and know how to manage

The said guy who gave an insight, I believe through the write up,say him don upgrade (that is life in a good place) how many Nigerians can single handedly leave slum or such conditions in a matter of 6months or 1yr?

Don't let anyone discourage you, when you wan japa, never sell off your landed properties, simply rent it out, keep some money for account in case then carry enough to hold body over there

Will you tell me that all those rich men wey relocate abroad are suffering same fate? Relax and take risk,calculative risk o

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.
See liar oh ... Why so rude though?
Re: Us-based Nigerian Man Shows Sleeping 'box' Costing $80/8hrs by Cousin9999: 1:25am On Aug 16, 2024
Maybe this guy made this up for retweets because if this was years ago:

-He could get a full hotel room, maybe with a kitchenette, for less than that in and around NYC. Furthermore, he would have a lot of options for housing besides a hotel if he could afford $80/day.
-There are pod hotels in NYC, but that looks like an illegal one in a basement.
-Today, there aren't even many of these things, so why would that even be an option for him to consider however many years ago.

But again, the owner of that place is likely Chinese, and this is NOT common in America.

You can check any hotel site every single day of the week for the next year and you will almost always (large events, disasters, bad weather, and holidays change that) be able to find hotel rooms for LESS than $80 somewhere near NYC. And that's NYC. It's even cheaper in other areas and regions.

You know why? I get quality updated information.

It's hard for me to get accurate info in Nigeria. Jude will say something, Ayo will say something else.

They have some of the warmest people I have ever met. At the park, the bar, the games, the church, everywhere.

Yes, every nation has the good, the bad and the ugly.

Yes, 40% of Ameticans are said to own gun but how many have ever used it on fellow men? It is more complex than you think.
