Nigerian lady has compared the cost of living in Nigeria and the U.S., and thereafter, asked Nigerians which of the countries offers better or cheaper standard of living.

In her post, the lady said the cost of buying a full tank of petrol in Houston, Texas is $45 compared to Nigeria where she put the figure at N45, 000. She went on to state that the cost of renting a two bedroom apartment in Houston a year is "$9, 600" as against the "N2 million" one would need to get a decent one in Nigeria. She also compared the cost of purchasing food, internet services, monthly wage earnings as well as home security between Nigerians and their counterparts in the U.S.

she lives in Nigeria. Learn to read

For a 4th world country, Nigeria is undeniably costly.
This country will implode.


This I've seen.

Lol, the lady did some delusional tactics well. Most of the things she stated there are lies for USA or she probably live in the extreme suburb where she has to take 2hours ride to get to the nearest city.

—Consistent internet which will give Wi-Fi for a home for instance should be within $60-$100 monthly. Your phone bill could be $30, but it’s not gonna power most of your household gadgets and etc coz that $30 won’t be on an unlimited data plan.

—How can 2bed rent be $9600 per year? Does she mean in Houston for example, you’ll get a 2bed apartment for $800? She’s probably hallucinating.

In ATL for example, house rent in the city area for that 2 bed are usually within $1500-2500 per month. On top of that, you pay Light bill, gas bill, and the apartment monthly charges on sewage and common area if you live in an Apt complex. That could be additional $250 on it.

If it’s now mortgage, no way in hell will you get that monthly payment.

On average, in a city, you’ll pay nothing less than $18k yearly and that’s even being conservative. It could go up to $28k in total for most cities.

—I agree with her groceries of $700 monthly. That still make sense if you’re only spending on food.

However, to go out to a restaurant for 2 people, you spend nothing less than $80-100 in one sitting especially for Nigerian food restaurants. To the lounge, you spend nothing less than $100-$150 if you factor hookah and drinks for 2 people.

Except if you be get inside person will you even spend that monthly. Coz me I count jollification with food price.

I hate it when Nigerians go to the US or UK, go online and begin to do comparison. Nigerians dey Germany, Italy, Ireland, Russia, Philippines, Mexico, Brazil, China....you will never see them online complaining or comparing. Instead, they will post pictures of how it was and how it's going.

Thunder strike the forces that continue to ensure Nigeria gets worse daily. It's not about who the president is. If it was, no sensible person will pick Buhari over BAT. Nigerian leaders are only celebrated in hindsight. Even here on Nairaland, ardent Buhari haters have been praising him since June. There are forces that are killing this nation and those forces are bigger than any one person, be him a president or a local government chairman. No matter what you do, a house with a shitty foundation will never give you peace of mind.
I just read on another thread that Djibouti has a higher minimum wage than Nigeria. That really pained me.

What is your take home monthly? Some private sch teachers are still earning 30k monthly.

All in all,I love my country abeg.........

Funny thing is that the average wage in America is far bigger than the average wage in Nigeria.

But our politicians are richer than their politicians, and its because suffersticated morons have chosen to draw us back far More than any region in Nigeria.

I was thinking illiterate majority of Northerners were the ones holding the few intellects hostage in this country, never knew the brown roofers are worst.

No wonder poverty reigns supreme over there that they can't afford to renovate their Houses after building it the time Rome was built.

Stupidity will cost your progress.

I'll still prefer living there because EMTs are non-existent in this country. Many places still have poor telecom infrastructure compared to there with at least telephone lines in every locale.

What’s the correlation?

Nonsense comparison

People earn 20 to 100 dollars per hour

People do two jobs

People at the end of the month earn between 4k to 20k or even more.

If you do the type of work you do in Nigeria in the US, you will buy a house in one year.

Nigeria is the worst country to ever live in

Things are in place in the USA or Europe.
Definitely your government are working for the masses.

Nigerians and their ignorance of currency comparison, some don't understand when it matters, Kemi Olunloyo is right, most Nigerians are daft

Her assessment is inaccurate. This conversation actually contains the cost of living in Lagos Nigeria- Food, transportation and housing.

Another unnecessary comparison.

This person is out of touch with Nigeria. There are noise-free neighbourhoods where generators are prohibited in Nigeria.

See this bastard.

Are ain't we paying #45 for fuel as USA is paying $45.

Stupid comparison.
