Minimum wage is far more than that in US bros

ElevationD:
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.

His comparison of 1$ and 10$ is inappropriate. We don't spend dollars here. We deal with naira. Just compare 1$ and 1naira, 10$ and 10 naira. That will make a lot of sense. Does he know the kind of effort one would have to put in before earning 1$ in Nigeria? Daily pay of a site hustler is around 10k which should be around 7.5$ from morning till 4pm. Such people if they were in the US, they would earn far above that. That comparison is baseless

hot dog....??
you call that a meal....??

a good menu meal in europe cost you atleast 20euros....

$10 will get you a big Mac meal or a KFC 2 piece. That's the SI unit we are comparing against.

The N1,500 he mentioned for Nigeria, is it not rice plus beans plus one small peace of protein? So let's compare like for like.

In a supermarket you can even get 5 meals for that amount and microwave it.

Or we can use the GALA metric sef. You can get 8 sausage rolls for £1 here in UK. How much is Gala, the go to hunger-buster in Naija?

Lolz, $10 was supposed to be equivalent to #10, so let's put it like this ,can #10 buy anything ( not just food) in this present Nigeria?

You can earn $10 dollar or more per hour in the US, while here in Nigeria, you might not even earn up to #1500 , a dollar equivalent in a day , so much for an SSA on economic affairs, no wonder the Country has retrogressed badly.

Oga stop paying for restaurant overhead and services. Go home and eat good meals.
If you boil $1 potatoes and add 4 scrambled eggs (another $ 1) on it, a family of 4 cannot finish it. That is about 50 cents per serving.

Exactly! If we compare their minimum wage to $10 and ours to $1 (N1,500), food is a lot cheaper in the USA than in Nigeria.

How many deliveries does he make in a day? How about petrol and then maintenance costs of his bike? How about depreciation costs of his bike (every year, his bike ages and after some years, he would need to replace it) ?

The N4k that you quoted is NOT pure profit.

This Politicians should be ashamed.
Growing up, a dollar was 75kobo

Let's assume mama put is #1,500
3 square meal is #4,500
A week is #31,000
A Month minimum is #126,000

If you have wife and four children as approved by Govt = #630,0000

Minimum wage is #70,000

Mind you I didn't include transportation to work, soap, clothes, school fees, utility bills, house rent etc

Everything Na packaging, ego and showoff in Nigeria. Must you eat in fast food? ₦1500 per meal x3 in a day is ₦4500. @ local level. While some people eat ₦45k per day @ Thier packaging level. But God is so wonderful, the stomach can not take more that its limit irrespective of the amount.

While a pure water seller can make profit of 2000 naira in a day in US it takes 1 full months to earn 2000 dollars

oga stop talking like a kid. When you talk this talk of the strength of your currency per the level of economy in your country

Naira is to Nigeria as dollar is to America. It easy to make 2000 dollar a month in America
