Thunderfayamods:
You started the new year with useless comment and inability to comprehend. You are obviously not following the thread you just jumped from nowhere to show yourself!
The moniker @Alakoriomo said that minimum wage is $400,000 per hour. My question to you was in reference to what he said! I never said that you made the comment. Unfortunately you cannot understand because like I said you just jumped into the thread.
Yes federal minimum way is $7.25 but some states pay more like you said.
Again tell me who pays $400,000 per hour in America?
Foolish people will just wake up, fueled by a useless over bloated sense of importance because they supposedly live in Texas, open their mouth mouth to any convenient radius (more appropriately crooked fingers), to vomit rubbish. Assuming but not conceding that the poster who said minimum wage is $400,000 is wrong (his assertion is ridiculously wrong that I didn’t take it literally), you made an attempt at correcting him. I only pointed out that if you are correcting him, then make your info complete so as not to mislead others. Simple. You are here foaming at the mouth - “I am in Texas”. What is the big deal being in Texas?

Not true, is More than that,15-20$ per hour

Sapeleboy911:
Haba bro over 400k minimum wage? The minimum wage is around $7.5 per hour. If that guy is on a minimum wage, he can complain; there are poor people in America, too.

I understand - traveling abroad is an achievement for you. While I can’t wait to go home. 😁

Different strokes for different folks.

From ur posts, you must be a Johnny-just-come. I hope you came on a valid visa sha, and not planning to overstay your welcome. When you get to a new place, learn from people who were there before you instead of this your ITK attitude. Anumpama!

I think the person is trying to say that food items are expensive in the US, but the residents have good earnings to take care of the bills. If u feel ur purse can not sustain u, there are other ways to get things cheaper, and even free. There are food banks and food pantries in each city where those who are broke can get free food stuffs. I stand to be corrected though.

can you afford that with your 2 hours salary in Nigeria? Just checkout the freshness of what he got with just 2 hours wage (minimum wage in the US is $15/hr on the average)

Man lament for buying 5 pieces of apple, eggs and tomatoes for 32$ (after taxes). Americans are enjoying but they’ll still complain why?

But this guy complain just for $32? Why are some people ungrateful
he is a lazy and greedy dude, a place where people earn thousands of dollars in all monthly basis. What does he wants. Free groceries…

There's no way those things you listed here will cost up to 200K in Nigeria in 2024, not even if you went to the most exclusive supermarket! undecided
in Nigeria, 200K is 3 MONTHS SALARY (24Hrs × 30days × 3 months). In the US, $30 is just 2 hours minimum wage

It is 4 million dollars per hour werey

Even some football players are getting 50,000 dollars per week let alone our Nigerian people doing factory and hide and seek job over there

We should continue deceiving ourselves

The guy earns about 4 million naira in a month

But he bought groceries for 50k naira

He is ungrateful. No matter what he do he cannot spend 3million naira in a month even if he has 2 wives unless he is useless

He has a right to complain...!

$32 to one American might seem like $320 to another in the same country, all depending on income and lifestyle.

It's always going to be relative.

Same way, here in Nigeria, #3,200 to most Nairalanders means nothing to other Nairalanders earning over half a million per month.


This simple and commonsense explanation aside... What exactly is the relevance of this post?!!
That's a lot for $32. Isn't that his point.
That's expensive.

By the way did you say $259 per hour or $25.9 per hour?
Thunderfayamods:
Yes there are places where minimum wages are higher but imagine someone saying $400,000 per hour!.. grin grin
I wonder at you NL guys sometimes. Isn't it obvious that was A JOKE??

Lol. Trying to be clever by half.

The monthly minimum wage in the US $1200. So that $32 represents 2.6% of the monthly wages of a minimum wage earner in USA.

In Nigeria, $32 is equivalent to about N51,000. That represents over 70% of the income of a minimum wage earner in Nigeria based on N70000 minimum wage.

Let us even say those groceries are purchased by the roadside in Nigeria. They would cost nothing less than N25000. That is still about 35% of a minimum wage earner in Nigeria.

That grocery will cost nothing less than 500,000 naira in Nigeria bro. It’s even sad to know that no Nigerian has up to 500,000 naira in their account. That’s why over 200 million Nigerian die of hunger every year

How can egg be this expensive?
the poorest workers can afford to buy it. Its like one hour wage. In Nigeria how many people can buy egg of 200 naira now?

You're reasoning without reality, Nigeria jagajaga hence why nothing surprises most of us but imagine Nigeria was a great country and you still dey earn the lowest of the low income, you go happy? You go happy if someone came up to you and said $32 on groceries is nothing, you should be grateful?
Your argument is not coherent. On one hand you said I am reasoning without reality and on another hand you are saying imagine Nigeria. You definitely are living in delulu land and need to comeback to reality.
