You know how many hours a minimum wage worker would earn that in Nigeria?🇳🇬 about 4 hours to earn 1500

Now in US a minimum wage worker would earn ($7.25) 11k in one hour.

Do the maths
The Nigerian minimum wage is 70,000 per month and this is the base salary.

This money is not the problem but the fuel price, food scarcity. If the government can do more to bring fuel down to 400 or 300 per liter then the money will have good value

Please, whatever you say, don't denigrate our dear Mama Puts. Do you know how many bank executives depended on Mama put to scale through their university education? Mama Puts have been life-savers since time immemorial and they are Patriots that should be celebrated.
Keyword should be mass cooking which he put there

There is no hope for this country because we have fools as leaders. When it comes to leadership, they suspend their brains. However, we voted for this nonsense.

This misguided clown was forming opposition prior to 2023 election... that such unfortunate persons could get the presidential ticket of a political party is deeply worrisome.

All his postulations are now outta the window as he has to maintain table manners... you don't talk sensibly when you're eating.

What's the monthly wage of an average Nigerian compared to an average American?
What are the social investments or support put in place to assist an average Nigerian citizen as compared to an American?
The ease of doing business nkor, access to credit support, security, life expectancy, HDI etc can we compare any of the above to what's obtained in America?
Oga eat in silence.

DUMMY DUM. WHO TOLD YOU THAT?

THE AVERAGE NIGERIAN WORKER MAKES A LOT MORE THAN 1,500 NAIRA A DAY, OR 1 DOLLAR.

LITTLE KIDS SITTING IN THEIR DADDY’S HOUSE TYPING IGNORANT RUBBISH.
Your govt pay 70k as minimum wage. I know a lot people who still don't earn that. Lots of schools who pay their teachers way less. Even at 70k minimum wage, they don't earn up to 2500 daily. Keep yapping nonsense online so as to receive your monthly 30k paycheck.
Supporting this dead govt cos u can't see past your tribe.
Fooooooool

This is very senseless and uneducative comparism.
Are Nigerians workers and the Americans earn same salary? How many Nigerians earn $1 US Dollar per hour from employment in Nigeria ? What is the minimum hourly rate in the US?
Why are these type of Nigerians so deceptive?
Re: $10 Won’t Buy You Lunch In U.S, But $1 Will Get You Meal In Nigeria – Tope Fasua by meobizy(m): 7:14pm On Apr 06, 2025
A $1 meal won’t do anything but aggravate your belly. Maybe it’s possible in the north. In the south where I live, the food consists of a pinch here and dash there. Hunger go wound you after you chop am.

$10 won’t buy you lunch in U.S, but $1 will get you meal in Nigeria.

Even Pansophist and Gerrard59 won't make such lame comparison.

After all Nigeria is a zoo where everyone opens their mouths WA and just purge out rubbish.

Food is expensive in the USA, but when you look at what they earn, they can easily afford it.
Same thing here is Nigeria just that a lot of people have not figured out how to cut their coat according to their sizes.

He is correct.

$1 dollar will get you nothing in America.

It’s like N20 note.

N1500 or $1 can buy you several heavy meals in Nigeria, especially in the village.

There are places in my village you will go to, and even 100 naira food, you won’t finish.
Continue living in self deception.
Your salary is 70k a month and your have a wife and two children. Give us the calculation by yourself.

As a young man, you spend 1,500 three times a day, which is 4,500. Multiply that by 24 days a month, with a salary of 70k and tell us how far.

A good loaf of bread goes for 1,500 and you buy beans at 500. Add it up and tell us how it works, when you spend such sum three times daily.

The man who deceived you with irresponsible comment knows that everywhere in the USA, you can find cheap eats. You can find meals for 5 dollars and enjoy yourself. Can you compare someone in the USA, earning the Federal minimum wage of 7.25 dollars per hour with their Nigerian counterparts who earn 70k monthly? At 7.25, you work for eight hours in the day. Calculate it and be honest to yourself. Stop supporting such wicked leaders who do not want you to live a better life.

Kuku live permanently in your village na.

Make una dey fear God sef.
