Over-try dey worry you. Go open barber's shop.

davit:
You can't "barb" your son's hair. But you can give him a haircut.
Living in America doesn't mean one speaks good English though.

Stop this your inferiority complex! This is Nigerian English in a Nigerian forum.

Go on Quora and see Brits talk about terms Australians use that the don't understand or Americans talk about sentences the Scottish would use that makes no meaning to them even though all of them speak same English.

There is British, American, Australian, even South African English amongst many others. This is how we speak and it's a leisurely discussion. We no dey office. You wouldnt see Americans trying to speak like Australians or a Briton speaking like a Scott.

Besides, you sound pained. Grow up

Edoziesmart:

You high
Can't you see the lady you are quoting resides in Houston USA, or you thought every member of Nairaland lives in this shit hole country Nigeria

Even here in Nigeria I spent 1k naira to barb

Talking nonsense make 1 dump

BigDawsNet:


It's a bad idea to convert

Some still do this things even after spending over a decade here...
And it has made them lived a very low life...not like they don't have money at hand...even some hav mansion back home in Nigeria...but their residence here is nothing to write about just because the conversation keeps telling them it's a waste of resources to get bigger apartments or latest ride..

You are absolutely right

BigDawsNet:
Very neat..

What location are you barbing $10 oh because it's $35 here on the low...

Can we see the shape or you dint bother to style one

Nigeria is a cheap country , children barbing in nigeria is $0.50
Adult is $0.70 - $1.00

You tried ma’am
Thumbs up

rooftops:
... which exchange rate did you use. 35 dollars is 14548 naira

Lol! You are using Google rate to do your conversion. Dollar is at least ₦560 on the street. Do the math again

ImoleNaija:

Optimistguy1969:

And we dey price 300-400 naira here.

Pacesetter123:
Ask him my brother.Even if it's #500/dollars,it won't near the amount he just mentioned.5h/dollars will give you 17,500 naira.He is talking about 40k....

Where are you guys changing dollars for less than ₦560?! Dollar is at least ₦560

Mschew, when I saw this, I thought my man@Airforce posted it

rooftops:

which is almost 15000.you are the type that will send a child on an errand and still collect the remaining change even if its 20 naira.

BigDawsNet:

Acidosis:


Those that love converting dollars to Naira won't come here now to convert $35 to Naira. Tell them your earnings in dollars, they'll quickly convert to Naira. Tell them your expenses in $$$, they'll run.

Almost N15k on top barber

you missed the point... Does he safe in naira? Is he investing in nigeria with dollars?.... If he saved 10k dollars... A year.. Hes a millionaire here already. The advantage is... Hes saving in naira... Stop discouraging intending migrants

That's nice. Practice us perfection.

$10 for kids and $35 for adults.
That means we're learning work here in naija ooo.
I can't imagine spending above #1,000 for hair wey we d Barb #500.
$10=4,500 or $35=15,750 for one barbing.

streum:
And we dey complain sey Naija hard. Na N300 i barb better style for area junction yesterday night oo

Where you dey stay. Na 700 we dey barb here

Oh boy, remove your child picture fast because some ritualists from SW don dey eye that im head oh.

Aplaudez:
When time comes, the little boy will be like daddy, don't barb my hair for me again

Op is a female. Take note.

Stop doing gorimapa.
Gorimapa is not hair cut

Let him do dread locks

I don’t think a professional barber will do more than this on a child’s head. Good job man

It's very okay as toddlers hardly stay put, currently battling with one

nnennachiji:

It’s in Houston
Hahahaha okay I will take another picture
I tried styling it but he wasn’t cooperating

Houston? I’m surprised you can find haircuts that cheap in Houston. I’m in Katy and I pay $30 + tip for my 8 year old son.

If you are earning heavily Nigeria is the best place to live. Please don't argue with me!!

To those of you commenting how $10 is too much to cut hair, why can’t you guys see the need to actually appreciate those barbers on your street more by not down pricing the little change they ask you to pay. Cutting hair is not easy in Nigeria but because it looks so simple some of you thinks it’s not worth that #300 or #400 you are being asked to pay..

Unpopular opinion, children hair should cost most because it requires more efforts and stress

Styluss:
you missed the point... Does he safe in naira? Is he investing in nigeria with dollars?.... If he saved 10k dollars... A year.. Hes a millionaire here already. The advantage is... Hes saving in naira... Stop discouraging intending migrants

Investing your 10k dollars in Nigeria (Naira) when you don't have plans of living in Nigeria or spending Nigeria's Naira is a meaningless venture. Why would you want to be rich in a Nigeria you do not live in and poor or average in the US where you live? You no see Tesla or Walmart shares buy?

Just like living in shanties in Lagos and building empty mansions for rodents in the village because of cheap labour/land. F00lishness.


Why would I discourage intending migrants with that posts? Whoever is discouraged after reading that post have no business migrating to the US in the first place.
