I think the OP is referring to taxis that pick several passengers at the same time and he compared it with the one that picks a single person in the states.

I also never knew people still buy a full meal for 100 naira.

That one is 100naira in abuja,lagos 500naira.its only danfo and keke that can carry you for 50naira and it will be a walkable distance.where OP see taxi for 50naira?that 100naira food is all those mama put and women hawking food in car park and its more than 100naira.if you calaculate cuz meat(50naira)if its chicken(100naira) rice maybe 20naira and naija man can't eat 20naira rice he will request for 100naira rice with assorted meat.then buy 50 naira plantain.abeg calculate everything if its still 100naira we never add pure water o

That's how someone said everything in america is not free like seriously?even in Nigeria staying without light for a month is not free.
You will work for someone in Nigeria they won't pay for months and its nobody's business go on strike first you won't be paid for those period you were on strike

Abeg no need to b continue. Dnt no y u pple like to discourage potential travellers. Abeg if u can't afford to stay in dat gademm country hit d next available flight n come back to ya stupid no electricty country whre government doesn't respect its citizen.

Such comparison is not VALID because you can't compare the Dollar you make in the States to the Naira you make in Naija. NEVER!!!

Kontinu

I will like to see each item compared in percentage or fraction of income.

Ok Waiting for the continuation

House rent for US sha na die.

Disagree

Still better to go Yankee if you look at both relatively

Nigeria is cursed

It depends on ur location in Nigeria.
Even if the meals for Yankee na $10 per spoon, I still go oo.

Laughing...but truth is that cost of living is not really cheaper in Nigeria.

Which way 9ja

Living in the us is way cheaper if you know how to cut your coat according to your size and not this trash you put up there.

OP, you are comparing apples with oranges as long as you did not include realistic living wage in America vs Nigeria....

Your US Average professional monthly salary is for which profession and which city? Even Janitors in the U.S. collect more than twice that amount. If that salary figure is correct, it must be in a remote rural area in the U.S. where $900 can rent you a mansion per month.

e.g..Average minimum wage in the U.S. is about $9/hr (some States are more). This is wages for someone that has no education....e.g. a laborer, a factory worker, office cleaner, officer messenger, etc....

That is $1,440/month = N288,000.00/month......minimum wage in 9ja is about N18,000.00/month.

Now, use these wages to adjust the cost you enumerated above.

Lordave:
So we shouldn't go to obodo ndi ocha because things are expensive there?

Rubbish! We will go there, make money, buy those things in Nigeria and bring it over to the Obodo ndiocha.


Oh, I forgot! We will buy up their lands and make them tenants!

are you being sarcastic?

op that price is not the same in every state oo


if u dey take taxi for 50naira in kaduna and go to abuja, expecting the same amount

u go land ur self for debt ni because abuja taxi is not less than 100naira i guess


those living in abuja know better

Wow
