Can US$1 Feed You In The USA? by saraki2019(op): 7:23pm On Jan 05, 2021
I know #500 naira can pay for a good meal in Nigeria but I doubt if one dollar can do same in America, I don't trust currency exchange rate.

stupid question cos the cost of doing business isn't the same. How much do you pay a factory worker in the USA and how much in Nigeria to produce say Bread? Same amount ? No

You don’t compare it like that, the standard of living differs and cost of running business.

Look at the level of thinking of Buhari followers. Why not simply compare #500 to $500.

Nigeria don't have minimum wage....

Wages are paid hourly or daily

What Nigeria has is minimum salary


They like to copy a white man and then turn it into rubbish

most non-union factory workers will make somewhere around 10-13 dollars an hour.
The cost of living in the US is also a lot higher so you can't eat anything off $1, and you can't eat anything healthy or cooked for $10 unless it's a sandwich.


If you cook your own food the cost of eating is lower, but for context enough goat meat to make a pot of stew for rice is $40. a bag of rice the size of the average Nigerian bag of rice $20-$25.

Re: Can US$1 Feed You In The USA? by truthfulparrot(m): 6:36pm On Jan 08, 2021
Sarki, let me educate you a little. The minimum wage in America is $7.25 per hour. That is about $1,750 a month. That is more than N450,000 per month. Minimum wage!

An average American can afford the basic things of life.
