Here is a bunch of banana I bought for N500, this would go for nothing less than $4 in Canada, please note these are organic bananas we are talking about not the extra-sweet, GMO tampered bananas in the west and I got this in Lagos meaning folks living in the suburbs might even be buying cheaper.

I also buy I big avocado for N400, do the maths and convert to $. When next you complain about Nigeria, remember we have cheap and easily accessible fruits and vegetables.
First of all, Bananas don't naturally grow in Canada but they grow naturally in Nigeria. This means Bananas will be cheaper in Nigeria.

Secondly, the average salary per month in Canada is $5500, while the average salary per month in Nigeria when converted to Canadian dollars is $90. This means Bananas will definitely be cheaper in Nigeria than Canada.

Who is a wailer?

I voted Buhari in 2015 and I was against his poor policies against the Nigerian that most of you later talked about when he left office.

If being against leaders anti people's policies is what you called wailing?


IT MEANS YOU ARE A BORN BOOTLIKER AND NOBODY EVEN GOD CANNOT HELP YOU.


🤔🤔🤔
Swear that you voted Buhari in 2015

I relocated in August last year, I and my family are enjoying Nigeria and the biggest regrets is not relocating like four years ago. It has been a positive experience here in Lagos so far.
What would be your advice if one's plan is to relocate to canada to seek opportunity, knowing that nothing is working for the person here in nigeria? Would you say, if that person by miracle could raise the travel money, should channel the money else where?

To be honest, I would not say that, I am a member in good standing of thr College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultant of Canada and my job involves moving people to Canada from all over the world even while living in Nigeria. Moving to Canada changed my life ad a person who came from a very poor background, the experience and connection I got from living in Canada, I couldn't have gotten it if I had stayed back in Nigeria.

My advice would be, get your visa and move to Canada if you could, while in Canada, get your PR and Citizenship. Get an education or business that allows you to return back to Nigeria and work in Canada right from Nigeria.

I got everything my first six years in Canada and shoyluld not have stayed over a decade.

THE REALISTIC MINIMUM WAGE IN Nigeria is N20k which is about 14 dollars, for a whole month. 14 dollars is what a low earner earn abroad working for just one hour.

Forget those population analysis of a country.

What about china!
Even india that we are better off then is now miles ahead of us.

Population suppose to add man-power to our human resources. We are not capitalising on it adequately.
DeOTR:
Compare the population of Saudi Arabia and their revenue, now compare it to that if Nigeria and see the difference.
You're comparing a truck pusher who has 8 children with a medical doctor with just 2? How do you people reason? I believe you're planning to have 6 children and not that you add anything meaningful to the economy.

What percentage of our population are productive? There are 2 billion Chinese and they're not importing rice.
Even China is now managing their large population and it's actually coming down.

Continue to defend rubbish you hear? Continue
For how long? 8 years of late PMB passed nothing was achieved. Now this one is towing same line, and you have the guts to type this trash?
It's up to you if you put your hope on politicians. People are progressing everyday, stay there and wait for someone to become the president before you can make it in life.
As clueless and useless as buhari was, I made more progress than ever before. That's because I'm not depending on the president for anything.
If you can tell me anything Tinubu has done since he came to power that's not making you to achieve anything?

Yea, thats it.

Thats why i said we are not engaging our high population efficiently. Base on the nigeria circumstances, few percent will be productive.

I appreciate.

You are enjoying Nigeria with Canada money. Do you know how hard it is to earn money here?
Do you know there are still people that earn #20,000 as wages in this country? How can such person afford to spend #16,200 on books or eat #500 daily for a month which would amount to #15,000 on just fruits for the month. Not to talk of main meal, accomodation, water, electricity, etc. For someone who has dependants, how will he take care of them buying food at such exorbitant prices.
What is the wage structure in Canada and what percentage of minimum wage can feed a family of 4 in Canada compared to Nigerian homes, bearing in mind that most Nigerians can't even afford adequate nutrition

I know people in Nigeria who make over 100m annually and the clubs are always packed every night. I don’t know what you are talking about.
Re: When I Say Things Are Cheap In Nigeria, Lots Of People Will Argue With Me by Jeje247: 3:31pm On Mar 22
Those are the exceptions and not the rule. Most of them don't make money by legit means. Making legit money in this country is very tough. Most people are just surviving.

How do you know most of them don't make money through legit means? Because you don't make money in Nigeria, you think others don't? There a homeless and dirt poor people too in the US and Canada.
