God bless you my brother. Some people want us to believe that Nigeria is héll fire not realizing lots of things are affordable. I pay for one month what I would pay for a one year duplex in Nigeria

And you earn how much per month?
70,000/30 = #2,333 per day. That's the highest pay in the country.
Here you need about 3 days salary to buy one crate of eggs.

I know about someone in Canada earning $100 daily.
100/16.99 = 5.89 ie more than 5 crates with one day wage and that's not the only job the person does.

Nigeria is not working at least for now, period.

Why don't you come back to Nigeria so you can enjoy crate of egg for 6000 naira instead of $16, omoalë rage baiter 😂😂

Then go back to Nigeria. Please what is the level of your education? If at this level you don't know that economy indicies and purchasing power are different. SMH.

Point of correction, Nigeria is not hellfire, I should be there next week to enjoy my life

"to enjoy your life" or to relocate permanently?

after enjoying your life, what next?

Ok, today I was out to do an oil change and decided to branch by my favorite Afghani store where I usually buy provisions when in the vicinity. Now, I came across an organic crate of egg for $16.99, 30 medium sized eggs in a crate.
Now, I remembered I spoke with a friend in Lagos last week who priced a similar crate of egg at 6000Naira, Yes ! you heard me right! 6000Naira! Folks in Nigeria do not know how good they have it Living in Nigeria so next time you complain about Nigeria, remember a fresh organic crate of egg goes for N6000 and things are way cheaper in Nigeria compared to the western countries.

So, there is something that should make one happy living in Nigeria
I am waiting on pins and needles for the minimum wage crew.

It may be cheaper for you to buy the same eggs in Nigeria because you live abroad and you earn in dollars. These same eggs are not cheaper to most Nigerians.

You can look at it from this angle. I don't know the state you live in. If you live in the states, the minimum wage in most states now is $15 or over. And this means that what you make in one hour can buy a crate of eggs.

Now let's come to Nigeria, where the minimum salary in most states is 70k naira. If an employee works an average of 40 hours a week, this will translate to 160 hours a month. The hourly rate will be 70000 / 160 = N437.5.

An employee who is earning a minimum wage in Nigeria will need to work for 14 hours (about 2 days) just to make 6000 naira to buy a crate of eggs.

Ah, posterissimo! Thy pontification on ova economics is nothing but a verbal somersault in fiscal kindergartenism! How canst thou, in Olympian ignorance, juxtapose a Yankee crate of ovum with a Naija crate, whilst amputating the brutal reality that the Nigerian minimum wage is still wobbling in the vegetative limbo of ₦30,000 per mensem? In Uncle Sam’s Babylon, a wage slave earns in dollars, hence the $16.99 crate is but a negligible hiccup on his gastronomical itinerary. But in Naija, where a proletarian must first wrestle with kerosene kerfuffle, garri gallops, and petroleum palpitations, that same ₦6000 crate is an economic Waterloo! Thy analysis, therefore, is a cacophonous jamboree of intellectual kwashiorkor, a grandiloquent masquerade dancing naked in the marketplace of logic!

Dotherightthing:
Some luuuunattics will say the minimum wage is US is higher as if house rent and healthcare and other essentials are NOT way higher in the US...

A crate of egg is NGN5,000 where I am by the way.

By what ratio is the house rent over there higher than that of Nigeria? Let's compare ratio of minimum wage to the ratio of house rent , that is the only way to which is better.In Nigeria, it 318 naira per hour which is 0.212 dollars per hour, meanwhile an hour wage in the US is $15. That is 0.212:15 not even 1:15 ooo . Let have your average house rent in the US let's compare to that of Nigeria. It will take someone in Nigeria 18 good hours of labour to buy a create of egg while it will take someone doing the same job in the US less than 2 hours of labour to buy a crate of eggs .

You are not been fair at all in your analysis

Organic is different from farmed
Here we have modified eggs
And several people don't earn 12 or 25 USD per hour
Not are able to take two jobs

i cant believe eggs per crate was just 1200 before and now its 5700 per crate

There is a silent unification of prices of commodity globally.

Cost of production and raw materials are aligning

dominique:
A lot of Nigerians working as sales boy/girls, private school teachers especially in low-income areas etc earn way less than minimum wage

Sales girl/boy is 10-15k
Nursery/primary school teacher is 20k
Sec school teacher highest 30k
Janitors earn 10k

Nnamdipapa:
That is very good. I think everyone should have a vegetable garden. Recently, my curiosity is drawn towards farming and seeing things grow. You can always sell excess yo your neighbors and raise extra income.

That's if herdsman allow you go to farm

You've just done what I call wuruwuru to the answer . Using the minimum wage in Nigeria and then turning around using one of the highest pay in forign country. If you're earning minimum wage in 9ja, you have no business buying a crate of eggs, even while growing up in the late 80s and early 90s, we only ate eggs on special days not all the time. Just like someone earning $8 or $15 an hour has no business buying organic eggs for $16.99, there are options as low as $6, trust me if you are comparing egg cost, make sure to compare housing and healthcare cost too, na then you go know say una dey enjoy for 9ja

Nigeria is not working because the people just like the government are clueless!

Mtchw this comparison is myopic. How much will they pay a construction worker for a days job in America compared to that of Nigerian worker. Can a construction worker in America buy a crate of egg with his daily income? If he can then he is better. Because an average construction worker in Nigeria can't buy a crate of egg with his daily income.

How much do you earn per hour there … is it able to purchase that one crate of egg?… if yes … you are having it Better

Mindlog:
For that crate of organic eggs going for $16.99, how much is the hourly minimum wage in that country?

When it comes to food, Nigeria is not cheaper in comparison to income of the official minimum wage earner of N70K as majority earn below the N70K.

The attached plantains, I bought here in London for £3.....the same £3, a minimum wage earner will earn under 20mins.

The items in the second picture was bought for £9.20, less than what a minimum wage earner, earns in one hour (after deductions).

That plantain in Nigeria is about 10k a day does wage of a secondary school teacher

stop doing this lazy comparison. What is the minimum wage over there?

jamafa:
16.88 dollars is not 12k. 16.88 dollars in naira is 25k+.

A create of 🥚 in my area is 5200,5300. It's 25k in UK. That's 5*

Haba!

It is not 25k in the UK, not even up to 10K!

The comparison is imbalance but you also exaggerated. No civil servant earns less than 30k monthly.

SeraphicWind:
These you peoples annoying comparisons is getting stale day by day. Very annoying.

It is just like you people want to be mocking people.

I believe you are the USA. Many of us live outside too.

A mechanic making 25 dollar per hour in the USA can afford 2 crates comfortably. Just with 1 hour salary.

A mechanic working in Nigeria even under a notable company cannot even buy half crate with 3 hours salary.

Going by your stale comparison, it requires 12,000 naira to buy just 2 crates. How many mechanics earn 12,000 naira daily not to talk of hourly?

Let us not even talk about civil servants. Many of them earn less than 30k monthly. I mean millions of them.

That means their salaries will finish just buying 5 crates of egg!

What happens to other necessities of life?

Will your one day salary in the USA finish just buying 5 crates of eggs? Let us not talk about 1 month.

Guy please stop. I beg you in the name of God almighty. You are mocking people.

If you have spare cash, support people in Nigeria so that people can eat.

People are mad hungry in that country!

N.B
I live extremely far away from that hellfire on earth.

EponObi or what's ya name, what's the cost of living in that country you are?
You're in UK right. Am there too and knew fingers of UK pipu are bigger than that of Nigerians. So no make me reason ya matter for this weekend.

kingxsamz:
Who is this cI0wn?
The average American can earn more than $500 in a month which is 769 thousand naira upwards. How many people in Nigeria even earns up to 200 thousand naira per month?

Any American that earns $500 lives in a trailer.

Nnamdipapa:
Minimum wage here is $15 per hour and still that egg is not as fresh as what is consumed in Nigeria. I have a huge distrust for eggs that need to be refrigerated. I get from the general store, a crate of free run eggs here is around $8.50. Its the organic that is expensive.

That plantain is good, here it is around $1.20 per lb for a plantain and still not sweet like Nigerian plantain.

A minimum wage where you are is $15 per hour, yet you are comparing it to a place that 6k for that create of eggs is someone 2 or 3 days wages.

Besides, a creat of eggs I am seeing in your picture is more than 30 pieces they sell here. If an hour minimum wage could be enough to buy a crate of eggs, it mean you can literally buy all your food stuffs for a whole month with just 5 days wages.

Please don't ever compare Nigeria with any other place on earth again. The country is gone, only a true federalism or total disintegration can put us on the path of development. With new country or regional autonomy, the new constitution of each region/country would be thoroughly examine carefully to align with 21st century society.
