Godogwu: fact is that the person in Nigeria earning $2000 a month is living way better than his/her counterpart in the US.....

Im pretty sure the person in Nigeria earning $2k a month has an education and the american does not. What is a better life to you?

And what really are you studying there that is not offered in Nigeria.
We're talking minimum wage you're telling us your house rent as a student...how does that correlate?
Why dint you sit down in Nigeria to study instead of acting as an arbiter telling people how difficult it is to survive there.
It's funny when some people think it's ever one in Nigeria that can afford a house or a meal or even start up money to start a business. There are graduates being offered 10,000 here not to talk of the uneducated.
Any country would be terrible for a man who travels there without any plan for what he wants to do and the people that would complain and tell others not to go are the ones who felt they had to leave by all means without ever giving a thought to what they're going to do there.
US is better than Nigeria whichever way you want to look at it.
It's called quality of life and not necessarily the money.

Oh, you havent met Godogwu before? The first person from his hamlet to be sent to Obodo oyinbo to go study. Why do you think he wont let those who can even trace one part of their ancestry at least 30 generations back to the fields of Louisiana hear anything else?

Dude needs serious reality check, can you imagine, with $10,000 he will live better than someone who earns $1million in Nigeria, tell me this isn't slave mentality talk? undecided undecided undecided

I've always said that he's mentally ill, I don't know who released him from Yaba left, he'll manage to earn $10,000 annually while his mates are earning earning $1million, they'll come to the U.S., dash him "obele ego" and he'll be jumping up like an excited frog. See wetin poor man talk dey cause... Chai, tufia...Ubiam (poverty) is a curse, it shall never become, I reject it.

Bros, me sef dey like you, let me earn $1million in Nigeria than the so-called $10,000 here. Hehe, at least with $1million, I can make several trips to the U.S., even with a first class ticket and stay at choice hotels, but him earning $10,000 and nothing, he will struggle to even buy ticket let alone spend money for Naija... cheesy cheesy cheesy

pastor4real: @emmatok: You are right about the infrastructures, accommodation and the purchasing power. You totally wrong about getting good accommodation for $500. In Pennsylvania, Delaware and New York; you will need at least $900 to rent 1bedroom flat to live in good location with rest of mind. You are right that u can get a used car for less than $1000, my friend that will be a good one, be ready to spend extra $1000 plus on the car. You cannot survive with $8/hr unless u want to rent a room from som1 who own a house, that will cost between $300 to $400 a month.
That is more reason most people cannot afford to go to school. Some schools charge up to $25,000 a year. At the end of your program you will be in debt because you have to pay back your student loan. To get job is hard these days, and when you get one, you will be lucky if they offer you $30,000 a year for an entry level job. If you have brother/sister abroad ask them how much they make per year, also ask them there take home pay because here they don't joke with tax.

So being able to get a loan to go to a prestigious school is a bad thing? Is it better to have all the brains in the world, yet because you parents are poor you cant go to university in nigeria? There thousands of state colleges that cost less than $1500 a semester.

which chicken are you referring to?

one kfc chicken b.reast (meal including drink and side) is $5.35, google it.

two piece meal starts from $5.35.

unless there's a sale, most chicken outlets dont come as cheap as you're saying.

You CAN NOT compare the US to Nigeria. You are not accounting for SEVERAL economic advantages and disparities, Economic power, age of the economy etc.

Compare NIGERIA to Gabon, Kenya, St Kitts island etc those are COMPARABLE countries. The US is over 200 years older than Nigeria. Why would you equate both countries

ayobase: The state of California's minimum wage of $10 (N1,500) per hour to start by 2016. It seems it is about $8 (N1,200)at the moment.

A US citizen that works 10 hrs daily for 20 days gets approximately N300,000 ($2,000) per month!

Nigeria's is N18,500 ($123) per month. Meaning N92 ($0.6) per hour pay.

chio: Most people in the USA may be making money but may nt have enough to send home esp wen u are doing this hour job.
the cost of living in usa is also quite expensive.
to have a haircut in the say in NY u pay $15 around N2400
to go to work my friend uses de train he pays $2.5 to go and $2.5 to return so $5 a day apart from local transportn to his house.
to activate a line say for unlimited local call,500mb data,unlimited text u will have to pay like $40 (N6400)monthly(Simple mobile)
unlike in nigeria where u can buy a sim N100 and pay for BB plan N1500 which like ($10)

For one to survive in america u may have to go school so as to make ur pay/hour go up
there equally loans u can get wen u finish school u start paying gradually.
also the schools there dont go on strike so wen u enta for a 4year course and u are studious
u would graduate in 4years time.

Why are you guys stressing yourselves on minimum wages....When you hear minimum wages...that does not mean that most Nigerians are living with minimum wages. Some are making 13-17 dollar per hour...some are doing other business in Nigeria while making the minimum wage. I have been here in California for two years and i can assure you that there are ways to survive better than the minimum wage. It depends on your planning and your status here. It is not always rossy here as many people are here without job...but still, they are living better than most guys who have so called jobs that you make 18000 naira every month. Why you guys struggle to live 60 years in Naija...people here can live up to 100 years. So we make the mistake of thinking about money...money and money in Naija but do not care about the quality of live. How time do you guys undertake regular doctor visit in a year...you only see a doctor when malaria and typhoid don't kill you finish. How many of you have a regular dental visit every year...Do you know the risk you run by not figuring your dental health....the list goes on and on...that i won't want to go on to shed the miserable life that you guys are living in Naija and are proud of it. so don't just think about the money we are making here but think about the underlying benefits of living here. No matter how bad...the truth is still...we are better off here than in Nigeria.

How many Nigerians earn this amount.. Maybe 5-10%.. We are talking about minimum wage in Naija $110 vs US $1200. You are not better when you provide ur generator, diesel, water, security,and road. The problem is that Nigerians don't know how how to monetize these govt services they are paying out of their pocket. Someone who makes $100k/yr in the US enjoys a more comfortable life than someone is Naija who makes $200,000.00.

This is what you guys never want to understand. What the hell do you mean 5-10% earn N200,000...are you even alright? so all the bankers, accountants, doctors, ceos', engineers, traders, economists are just 5 percent of the population?...common man!, you can do better.

someone who makes $100,000 in Nigeria lives way better than the person who earns $200,000 in the US. With a 100grand in Nigeria every year, you could live in the best areas in the city, drive a german car from that year and ball every saturday if you choose. Housing most especially is way cheaper in Nigeria in comparison to the US. You can even hire a maid, gateman, driver etc. There's no doubt a person earning $200,000 in any part of the world isn't living badly atall but I can categorically tell you that the person earning $100,000 in Nigeria lives a way more comfortable life. well comfortable is subjective but you probably get my point.

I'm studying mechanical engineering and its offered in Nigeria but it was my father's idea of me schooling here, so here i am. The minimum wage has everything to do with the rent (cost of living), if the cost of living is very low then the salary won't matter and if the the cost of living is very high then the minimum wage would be next to useless yes?

Now i never told you its hard for me to survive here, I was just doing a comparison with Nigeria and the Us on rent and accommodation. Like I've said earlier the Us has arguably the best educational system and Uni's in the world and my parents can afford it so i'm here to make the best use of the opportunity. Oh and you probably got me mixed up with one of those desperate Nigerians who want to leave the shores of the country by all means...Nahh G i'm not about that life. I came here cause i wanted aii.

Finally there are unemployed and underpaid grads in every part of the world.... A cab driver who dropped me off from the airport recently is an economists but there are no jobs and he has to feed his family so he resorted to cab driving. His case is definitely one out of many.
Finally I don't care if the US is better than Nigeria (Its a bloody first world country gaddammit!), I am Nigerian and I could careless how great the US is. What Nigerians should do is look for ways of building our country, changing perspectives, electing better leaders, challenging corruption and so on rather than adore and worship the US at every given instance.

Nigeria's is N18,500 ($123) per month. Meaning N92 ($0.6) per hour pay.


Why won't people wanna run go greener pasture.

Very myopic analysis.

How much do you think corporate organisations pay in Nigeria depending on your level ?

What is the tax implication of what you earn in both worlds?

What are the financial liabilities to the earner as is being compared?

What guarantee is there that the jobs are all over the place for the taking, irrespective of where you are?

Nothing wrong in wanting to elope or jump ship to the US, UK or wherever in double hell anyone wants to go to, however, i ask, why are some Tokunbos coming back to Nigeria to take up employment, are those mega hourly pays not available to them?

Have you noticed that Nigerians spend more than the westerners when they come over to your world? Where do you think the money is coming from and please note, the huge spenders are not all politicians.

How about you find something meaningful to analyse than raise issues with no substance. If you have fun living in the western world, enjoy it, i know people that will not leave their well paid employment in this country to come pick up your mega hourly pay (yours sincerely inclusive).

When i need to holiday abroad, i will, when i need to work to make the money, i do it here, capic??
