Do you still think it's cheaper to live in Nigeria?

You are a liar,
1kg of chicken is not even up to 6k in Ilorin here is around 5k which is not even up to $4....

Wrong info....1kg is 6k in my area..that's about $4

In the same in Ilorin where price of things varies significantly and many people buy things at expensive prices?

How much do most consumers buy fresh whole chicken from retailers?

May be you should do a little research yourself before rushing to call someone a liar.

In your area.. where's your area? And do you buy live or frozen?

One said it's not up to 6k. Another said it's 6k in their area. I'm sure by the time everyone gives the prices in their own area will see many different prices above 6k 😂

Even at 6k, price is still way above many countries. 😂

How is it the most expensive? Why would the writer stops the list at 9? What about 10th.....

If you want a full list of other countries check the source quoted. The list contains major countries in the world across Africa, Asia, Europe and America.

The original source included costs of so many other products like beef, bread, milk, rice, petroleum and others.

The point was to show how Nigerians earn the lowest income yet still pay the price of first world countries, but instead of some of you to look at things critically, you would rather argue and refuse to see the point being made.

Ain't Nigerians funny people? "I bought 1kg of chicken at x price in my area, therefore, this must be the price everywhere in Nigeria and the OP must be a liar."

PulaPower:

Nigerian kilo of chicken still remains one of the most expensive in the world due to Bulaba's wuru-wuru economic policies and you are here yapping apata.

Your location please

One person just mentioned 7000 to 7500 in Benin, how much is 1kg of fresh whole chicken sold in your area in Nigeria?

Meanwhile, in the US, the price for same chicken could be as low as $3.

Frozen chicken and turkey were very cheap many years ago. The price began to rise after Obasanjo imposed ban on importation of poultry products. If the ban is lifted today, the price will surely drop; just as it happened with rice.

cost of feeds are expensive and their vaccines or drugs

And those are imported too, ain't they? If they're locally manufactured and still expensive, then that still proves my point.

Don't understand how locally manufactured products will be more expensive than counterparts in other countries unless, may be, some raw materials are imported.

Relying solely on importation of poultry of all items is a NO NO, the credible quoted prices of the locally produced poultry is fair enough. The poultry produced in Nigeria are way more healthier than the preservative- laden imported frozen poultry.

The poultry produced in Nigeria is a match for the poultry branded "free range" in Europe and America, these are not as cheap as you quoted.

same with bag of rice, 42k the last time I asked for a bag of rice, we later got the foreign one and share into two. Just a difference of 1k

Very cheap here in China,

Everyday I keep people saying look at Libya after America invaded it. They have no idea Libya is heaven compared to Nigeria. Cost of living is extremely cheap in Libya.

.
If you want cost of chickens to reduce, then make more chickens, that’s all. 1kg of Chicken is between £2 and £3 where I am presently depending on the type of chicken. This is because they are producing enough chickens here, Nigeria’s masses especially the millions of jobless youths shoul go into farming either crop or animal farming and stop disgracing their families on social media

Una mouth on here na chu chu chu how is he a liar now. Thats the average cost. So they need to mention illorin for the list? Na wa oooo . Na 2026 we dey try dey do some online courses to help your senses

..and farmers are still shouting about importation of corn, major constituent of chicken feeds.

Government should open the boarder for Importation of feeds, if cost of feeds locally is too expensive.so that the cost of chicken can come down.
It's too expensive

Don't you know they use averages? That it's 6k in your area doesn't negate the nationwide average. Chicken is not expensive in some places!

Besides, the argument is that the price is too expensive given our minimum wage.
