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

This lady ehnn, my rent is currently $2500 monthly in California. 3 rooms, 2 family room, 2 toilets and a garage and a swimming pool included.
For gas, it's $140 for 2 weeks driving. Foods are cheap though if you're the type that loves cooking but I end up spending $80+ if I want something from McDonald and other fast foods.
It's just a decision depending on how much you're paid at work and how comfortable you want to be.

₦70k monthly for Internet in Nigeria?

Is her head correct?

Are you subbing for a company or personal usage?

This information is useless

Most graduates in your country are either jobless or Yahoo Yahoo. An average Nigerians cannot even feed anymore. Your Emilokan has increased poverty and unemployment from where Buhari left it.

This is a free health insurance you get abroad for free

Let’s not even talk of minimum wage, basic amunities, security, standard of living and the rest

Omo I’m very sure Nigeria is the forbidden country God told Abraham

Free health insurance in Europe not in the US.

Stop spreading false news


Where u want see 9600 per annum rent even in US village maybe u are talking on 2010 not 2023.

I reckon her tank of gas is 10ltrs for it to cost $45 to fill up.

Why are they not running down to your shithole country the way an average Nigerians wish to be there while those who can afford it don't even think it twice? Go to Libya to see how your people are running out of the shithole to Libya. A cleaner in Libya earn nothing less than 100k

Dumbest OSU IPOB retard. Compare your shallow, illogical warped reasoning to that of an average American. Your level of thinking is below that of my 5 year old daughter still in kindergarten.
You come here every second wailing about this and that, you are part of the problem with your low IQ reasoning.
The average American is much much intelligent and reasonable in their thinking.
I have lived most if my life in the US and I can tell you that the biggest problem in Nigeria is the average Nigerian with very low reasoning abilities just like you.
Health care is not free in America and people still die here everyday just like in Nigeria. Comparing America to Nigeria is a joke in the first place.
When Americans were already inventing planes and electricity and other technologies, your fore fathers were still in the bush with leaves covering their private parts.
America is 5hr richest County in the world, and thr richest in the history of world. So Comparing it to Nigeria is a joke taken too far.
Despite all that, Americans are not smiling right now, inflation is killing everyone right now.

You’re even enjoying at that rate in Cali. In Boston, rent sometimes average $3k monthly or more. My mortgage for ATL self pass $2800 monthly.

Yes, spending is a decision especially on those food, lounges, and etc.

Like I always tell people, USA na nice country wey make sense. But no matter how much you mate legitimately in corporate America, most of your monthly bills (mortgage/rent+401k+ROTh+bills+food+family in Naija+lounge/clubs) will take over 70% or more of your net salary monthly.

If you like you should be stingy to death, you go still cough that amount.

RaptorX:
The US is actually a very expensive place to live, definitely not cheaper.

Everything balls down to Y.

MrBroke:
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.

if the Minimum wage of Nigeria is N30,000 per month, then the Minimum wage of USA is certainly not $30 per month. So therefore there is no basis for comparing USA's cost of living with that of Nigeria's cost of living.

Why can’t she compare everything else? I mean all the benefits government give to Citizens in US, that’s wack comparison the GDP of that country is different the salary’s structure is different so why comparing us to the US when we don’t even have constant power supply, this one nor get sense and she dey abroad

dazzlingd:
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.

$100 per hour?? Don't be delusional, no job anywhere in the world would offer you such amount hourly

Draslo:

You're not getting it. Don't bother

That's what I want you to explain, how a man who supported Buhari twice will blame Buhari for the problems he inherited from the same Buhari he supported twice....

BoldBrainz:
She didn't get her facts right.

In Asokoro, Maitama and Gwarimpa, there are a handful of estate apartments where individual generators are not allowed. Electricity stability is almost guaranteed for 24hours. But where any sort of challenges arise, power generating plants have been installed by the estates managements and all you have to do is pay the monthly charges for that service. So you can definitely have that serenity devoid of generator sounds.

Also, there are lots of locations in Abuja where security is handled by the estate managements and you have absolutely no need for a security personnel in your home.

Even wondering how she arrived at that $9,600 for annual rents of a 2bedroom apartment in the US. A 2bedroom penthouse with a sitting area and office space in Dallas went for $4,500 as at last week. Some of these people just lie for internet clout. Abi the moment she crossed the sahel, her brain was formatted to think the Nigerians back at home are no longer capable of reasoning?

Lol don't mind the E-diot. I wonder what folks like her tend to gain from the nonsense clout they chase

nwakibie3:


That $45 is someone's two hour wage in the US, menial job ooo; can you make such amount in Nigeria doing same job in two hours?

Stop being delusional, no menial job will pay you half of $45 hourly, dont be unwise

Throwback:

Why are people like this? Where is lie in that?
$45 will get you about 13 gallons of petrol at $3.3 per liter. When converted to liters, 13 gallons is 49 liters.
How many small or mid size sedan takes more than 50 liter of petrol?

When minimum wage is less than $50 in Nigeria una too dey play!

Regex:


Health care treatment in USA is not free.

Not only is it not free, but it's probably the most expensive in the developed world.

Few months ago I fell down the steps in houston and broke a toe. Even with insurance I paid $900 out of pocket for a minor corrective surgery. If I didn't have insurance it might have cost like $3k

Apparently you’re a dumbo who doesn’t want to open his brain to POVs… converting money up and down. The 100k in Libya. Does it sustain them.. or the minimum wage workers in USA. You think minimum wage sustains them? Stop converting money… what does it take to actually live in these countries…. Teachers, nurses, train workers, some university lecturers have gone on strike in the UK, asking for increase in standard of living and income … Abi u think 10£\hr na money? Becoz it’s 10k in Nigeria?

Most of you complaining here, it’s not like you actually care for your fellow Nigerians….100% certain. Until you care for the well-being of your fellow Nigerian.. nothing is changing. This is the world we’re in ! Find your path.

I’m usually very disgusted when I read trash from ungrateful lots who have refused to see that their society possess some good about it. I know that Nigeria is in terrible times, agreed, but abroad too have their own shortcomings.

First, the comparison made by the ops is between the USA and Nigeria. The question now is where do you get free health insurance in the USA?
Second, you talked about the USA having security, but you lied. There are more violence/gun related deaths in the USA than Nigeria.
The USA has one of the highest rates of suicides in world as a direct result of many people going through depression.
Also, there is poverty too in the USA, homeless citizens as well. Their universities unaffordable to poor.
Our university education is ‘almost’ free to citizens.
Lastly, I’m not a multi millionaire (meaning I don’t have hundreds of millions) but I enjoy 24hrs power without any generator (though I’ve one but I hardly use it) due to combined use of solar and NEPA.
Nigeria is terrible, but it’s not the worse place in earth.
If you hate Nigeria port yourself to Niger.
