Interesting so I as white man making 70k Australian, I would be in the 1% of wealth in Nigeria if i had online business. Here in Australia 70k is middle class income and after taxes its usually around 59 to 60k yearly so pretty average not broke or poor |

pannyman:Here's the thing tho with you Nigerian guys. If you came to the west made money saved it and invested it back home. You guys would be statsically richer then majority of african countries. Plus, I like Nigerians they have interesting culture i like and i love their food and music. But due to the cultists, gang wars and other places, im questioning wither or not i should really come there. Right now, i was unemployed for long time and didnt have a job. Now im good and fully employed. So i will do my best to save money when i have about 6-12 k saved i will visit and fly over to see it. Its shame Nigeria has a lot of opporturnites over there. |

Raskimonojendor:We have the cheapest petrol because we own the raw crude. Other nations import. Our earning power is so low that when you compare a citizen's average income to the price of petrol in Naira, Petrol is very expensive. You are looking at Dollar equivalent of how much we pay without comparing it with our relative income. To understand this: Compare the minimum wage in USA with the Minimum wage of Nigerians converted into Dollars. Tell me, In America Cost of Petrol= $0.93 per litre In Nigeria, Cost of Petrol= N950 or 0.56 USD per litre Minimum wage in USA= @the rate of 7.25/hour for a 40 hour work per week will give us = approx $1300 per month Minimum wage in Nigeria= N70,000 per month which is approximately $45.71 per month NOW, 1. An American earning minimum wage can buy in America 1,396 litres of Petrol with his total salary 2. A Nigerian earning minimum wage can buy in Nigeria 80 litres of Petrol with his total salary So, do you still think that the average Nigerian is POOR or Entitled? |

It's not up to 8%; not even up to 1%. We should be talking about 0.02%, but which is 2 out of 10,000 people. |

Yankee101:Is the 10k profit or total sales? The business man will not eat, pay for transport and levy, settle landlord e.t.c Similarly, the farmer will not buy fertiliser, pay for labour and land, fumigation and post-harvest processes. The money earned is the money left (profit) after all expenses and tax. |

HEAVEN4444:What population of Nigerians are Uber drivers? Let even assume the Uber driver owns the car, do you know the cost of fuel? I can assure you that 70% of the money Uber driver makes will be spent on fuel and spare parts. Again, cars have lifespan and therefore amortised. The Uber driver have to keep part of his earnings for that because the car ought to be replaced after 4 years (Tokunbo) and 10 years (new brand car). In the end the Uber driver will struggle to ultimately earn above ₦250k in a month. |
