So we shouldn't go to obodo ndi ocha because things are expensive there? Rubbish! We will go there, make money, buy those things in Nigeria and bring it over to the Obodo ndiocha. Oh, I forgot! We will buy up their lands and make them tenants! 100 Likes 6 Shares |

Such comparison is not VALID because you can't compare the Dollar you make in the States to the Naira you make in Naija. NEVER!!! 30 Likes |

OP, you are comparing apples with oranges as long as you did not include realistic living wage in America vs Nigeria.... Your US Average professional monthly salary is for which profession and which city? Even Janitors in the U.S. collect more than twice that amount. If that salary figure is correct, it must be in a remote rural area in the U.S. where $900 can rent you a mansion per month. e.g..Average minimum wage in the U.S. is about $9/hr (some States are more). This is wages for someone that has no education....e.g. a laborer, a factory worker, office cleaner, officer messenger, etc.... That is $1,440/month = N288,000.00/month......minimum wage in 9ja is about N18,000.00/month. Now, use these wages to adjust the cost you enumerated above. 27 Likes |
