Taylor90: Do you also know that the number one reason to declare bankruptcy in Amerikkka stems from huge medical bills ? Do you know that the average trip to the emergency room with an ambulance is not covered by insurance and cost around $2,500 flat? Do you know that Amerikkka is so jewed that an on-counter treatment for malaria will cost you at least $700 (drug cost between $150-$250, consultancy and tests will cover the balance)? Have you heard of goyslop? To eat natural healthy food will cost you three times what it will cost you here in Nigeria. Unless you like eating mystery meat cultured by Jews and their Monsanto GMO poison. Are you aware that Amerikkka is the only country that indebts it's young before they get a job all in the name of student loans ? And that the racket has now spurned a new industry known as the Academic-Labour industrial complex ? Are you aware that JewSA is the only country on earth that has private prisons for profits ? The Prison Industrial complex that has LEAs and the jewdiciary ensuring that Amerikkka remains the nation with the most incarcerated nation on earth. So much for the land of the free and brave. Amerikkka is the land of the fee and slave . An economy based on revolving debt. Google the word "Economy" and find out its true meaning which stems from ancient Greek to mean : to lack. The JewSA is a dystopian slave society. This is after all, a nation that got a head start with slavery. 3 Likes |

MrBroke: Check the name and you will know that she probably has no sen*e. 70,000 for airtime and internet? Many of us are online 24/7 doing stuffs and we no dey spend 25k per month. 2 million for 2-bedroom depends on location. She should also know that there could be more expensive places in Texas and the U.S. In summary, na one of these obidunce people. |

I totally disagree with her, she got all her analysis wrong except for the grocery part. A two bed apartment in Houston can never be $9.6 per annum. Where I live which is relatively cheaper than Houston, it cost any where from $800-$1200 a month for a 2 bed. My motgage is $1.5k a month and its a now build, 4 bed. With 2 garage. Internet cost abt $50- $100 a month, excluding phone bills which is like $25. A full tank of gas will cost you from $60. I wonder where she got her data from. By the way, I live in Indiana 4 Likes |

toprealman: No mind am. NHS in UK that has months and in some cases years of backlog in surgery for patients. Better than Nigeria by far no doubt, but certainly not wonderland like he's painting it to be. As for US don't even go there. It's the most medical expensive system in the developed world. Don't be confused by the movies you watch where they dial 911 and ambulance e shows up in 2 minutes. They don't tell you the bill that follows. If you call emergency services, the cost of that ambulance might be like $2k. If you have insurance you might still pay copay of like $400 3 Likes |

COMPAQ:No sensible person drives their car until the petrol is totally dry. Most cars gas light would even come on once you have about 2 gallons left ( 50 miles) So, realistically people with such cars would buy gas before the light comes on. Simple maths 15 gallons minus 2 gallons = 13 gallons. For a full tank |

LegendHero: You are criticizing the lady without asking her how she arrived at her numbers. Maybe you are more delusional than her. It seems like the lady is analyzing a budget for a college dormitory student or an individual with a room mate. Her numbers are quite low for an independent working class or a family. I pay $3500/month for my mortgage, $200/month - phone bill (3 family lines) $250/month for 2-vehicles insurance $180 for cable & internet. $1500/month -car payment (2 cars) Range Rover & Lexus RX350. $150/month - water bill. $300/month - electricity. $1000 - $1500/month - groceries (family of 5). $1000 - miscellaneous (I.e Nigerian families, car repairs, house fixes, lawn/yard care etc.) 1 Like |

BillionKnights: Your mid level of reasoning should rather disgust you than what he typed cuz I can't read where LegendHero discouraged migration to the US. The problem with most of y'all is that you hate the truth and are disgusted by it even when told. America will paint their country to be the best in their movies and News outlet and shallow minded individuals like you easily get deceived. America media will not tell you each hour, everyday, 312 Americans are being shot, They'd still not let you know the rate of daily missing persons who are kidnapped, Robbery of which most of em victims are shot dead, I guess you also dont know, over a hundred thousand Americans migrate out of the US to other countries yearly. I'm sure if I expose more to you, you'll still think I'm tryna discouraging you cuz what's painted on your mind is the USA is a heaven on Earth.

She clearly stated that it’s for a 2bedroom Apt but you are here trying to say she meant to say it’s a college dorm. In the state you live, do they rent 2 bedroom apartment in a college dorm?

Re: Nigerian Lady Compares Cost Of Living In Nigeria And The U.S. by LegendHero(m): 7:52pm On Aug 16, 2023 |
headboyprince: You are correct about what you mentioned. USA is still better than Naija but the lady should have stated the actual truth about the cost of living instead of trying to lie to pass her claim. That’s what I corrected on this thread. Lastly, this minimum wage people keep saying, what is the percentage of government workers or graduates in the formal sector that earn exact 30k monthly? People shouldn’t just throw word around. I’m not sure they’ll be up to 3% of the total workforce. |

After doing the costs of living, let's now do the comparison of average earnings in USA and Nigeria per household? Not to mention that US economy is 43 times bigger than Nigerian. So average Americans can afford those costs of living much more easily compared to Nigerians. |
