I don't know which abroad he is talking about but $5k is nothing in the US, two and a half months rent will swallow your 5k in the major cities talkless of food, other utilities etc. N30 million in Nigeria goes 100x further than $5k in the US.

💯, 30m in 9ja still you won’t have peace of mind because of insecurity

Must of una no get sense.
Una go Dey shout no security but una done live for 30yrs for Naija and nothing do you

This one don mad....
5000 dollars is like 10m max....
With 5k dollars, you can only pay for 3 or 4 months rent in places like new York or Los Angeles....
Meanwhile, with 10m....you can rent a 3 bedroom flat in lekki and pay for 1 year...
That leaves you with 20m so I no understand the basis for comparison abi na only sweet and chewing gum e wan use the whole 5k dolls buy?

I don’t have a say because I never worked outside. The only time I searched for a job overseas, Nairaland poured sand in my soaked garri.

Shidinky:
Nigeria of today you can lose 30m overnight
With no govt cushion. You will see people who were very rich during get time.

Struggling to eat these days cause of funny overnight government policies and security problems everywhere.

Abroad with your 5kusd
You can go to work know what you will make next month and deduct taxes.

How many Nigerians even dey sure of work

5k is nothing bro. Just pray u don't lose ur job else that 5k go fly within 3 months. For u to save d 5k go reach 10 months on frugal lifestyle

What can 30million in Nigeria do for you

Absolutely nothing

This man deh mad sha...
U wen get 30m... U be big boy for 9ja meanwhile him wen get 5k dolls for USA na just an average citizen..... With 30m... I can pay rent for both office and house for one year dependant on the location.... Use like 10 or 15m start small business wen go dey fetch at least between 50k to 100k in profit daily.... Something he can't boast of...
Anyway sha... Na TikTok money many of them depend on these days and the best way to get it is through likes and views generated from dumb comments like these

Samade7:
Many of these people always use d bad side of Naija to spit out jargons.......If you are not strong enough, you can not live abroad, else depression is the order of the day. No matter how bad it is in naija, one will still see a place to go to reduce one's stress n also jolly with pple, unlike abroad-from shift-home-church: church-home-shift

God bless you. He sa8d $5000 That is change. Buying the latest car with 5k that is another joke. The dude is mad. Even with over 200k in savings Nigerian life is better than USA. Depression and crazy people every where.

I was naive until I left Nigeria in 2023 then my eyes open and I found out Nigeria is a messed country. Each time you see me vow that my children will never witness Nigeria, I meant it with my life. I will rather be a slave here than be in Nigeria. It's past 8pm and everywhere is still bright like 5pm compared to Nigeria.

wait for winter by 4pm everywhere don dark

100% fact here

30m can't rent and furnish some houses today in abj and lag

You people should stop all these lies, a person who has 1billion in his account in Nigeria probably has access to some of the best doctors in his immediate locality.

Just so you know when you call an ambulance or fire fighters abroad you get billed for it, the service is not free like most Nigerians think!

You saved me the stress of writing. There are a lot of foolish people on this thread. The constant curses they throw at the country daily is enough to make things go south. Imagine saying I won't have access to an ambulance as a billionaire in Nigeria. As for the thread, the man is saying $5000 is better than N30milla (~$19500); Just because of location; Na xo Nigeria come bad reach

Bluffly:
Mr Man. Purchasing power don't work with direct conversion. Get sense and stop yarning nonsense. Do you covert naira to GBP before you buy garri can £2.8 buy you a good food in the UK the way ₦5,000 will buy you here in Nigeria. Ogbeni shift.

Google is your friend to check if £2.8 can buy you a good meal. Can you say same of Nigeria.

O boy, you dey see am abi. That's what I can get with less than a minimum wage of £11.44 per hour, change go still remain. And most employers pay way above the minimum wage. Overtime and bank holidays is as from 1.5 or 2X per hour. Difference is like day and night.

Nor be just cho cho cho

$5000 is not a lot of money if I might say.
At $700, you can only pay 7 months rent for a room here. Life abroad may be convenient but not cheap.

Shidinky:

how much u de earn. Let's start from there

Difrent:
Nonsense contents full that TikTok too much, wonder if some of those creators think say na fools them dey follow talk.......

I had to delete it!

na lie

Quelme:
see flawed logic. Why don't you compare £1000 to 1000NGN?

What's the minimum wage in Nigeria?

Minimum wage in Nigeria 77,000NGN per month

Minimum wage in UK £11.44 per hour

Answer yourself....

This is the worst argument I have ever seen. It seems like your skills of comprehension aren't very good.
The video is arguing that $5000 is better than 30M Naira. Get that first. Calm down and let it sink in.

The person you are arguing with is saying that based on purchasing power parity, 30M will go farther in Nigeria than $5000 dollars will go in the US. And he is right.

Your own argument has veered off topic and is comparing $1 to 1 Naira. You don't even understand what the point the person you are arguing against is making. You just want to argue 🤦🏾‍♂️

Are you sure you have been the airport before?

SmartPolician:
This man has raised fundamental issues that every sane government should fix in the country. Thank God I didn't expect anything from this government because you cannot give what you don't have.

Not only this government as there were many before it that cannot fix a single thing for the country. Don't ever expect anything good from a black man, he is not build to be patriotic. He is only built to promote selfish interest or to have dominion over others.

He loves been worship, and will do everything to ensure others are in abject poverty, so that they can keep worshipping him and his lineages. Give this same man talking here the sum of #2 billion to fix solar power for each house in his village and see how he will fix only his compound for other to come and charge on the fence wall and embedded the rest.

And there is no insecurity in America where you run to?

Do you know tens of thousands of people are shot in America every year?

Ignorant people.

Mr self hater.

''Black man this, black man that''.

Are you not a black man yourself?

You know Nothing about ''black man''.

How many black countries have you visited out of the 60 in existence in Africa and the Caribbean?

0?

What do you know outside the garbage you see on CNN about Somalia and Boko Haram?

Your ignorance and racial complex is your biggest problem in Nigeria.

I was even being generous saying it will cost that amount for 4 months.... I stay in the UK and an average 2 bedroom flat in London is anywhere between 1800 and 2500 pounds per month....
Last last una go deh alright...

This is a choice area in lekki phase one and as you can see... This is the updated price....

Make una no dey allow people wen dey abroad decieve una....
If u get 5k for USA... You're an ordinary person but if you get 30m for 9ja....you will live well if you plan your life

The worse thing that could ever happened to a man is inability to see his problem from within and keep believing is better than who is he..

Our problem is fundamentally rooted in our culture and tradition, so i don't even need to argue with you, the history and present are there for the blind to see.

Black countries are developed indeed. Lolz, how would you even know when you had never tasted or know how 21st century humans are living in developed countries.

Nonsense talk. Social media monetization has lead ro many clowns setting ring light

Dey play, you think it's a joke? Everyone coming out to say the truth is all about monetization? Where is the lie? Tell me new things happening in Nigeria apart from from what he said? Stop behaving like a dumbo.

SamuraiXXX:
I hope you know there are lots of places you can be knifed in the UK while minding your own business

This is one area that requires critical thinking as a youth.
No one is saying that the US is crime free or even the UK. In fact no society is crime free.
Now let's go further: if I plan to go and stabb people or shoot people with my gun in the US, the chances is that I will succeed because there's no technology to read the mind of one individual who wants to commit a crime. Most times I'll still be apprehended after my crime or shot dead at the end.

Now come to the case of Nigeria... A group will invade a whole community kill and no one is caught!
Calm down and spot the difference.
