I always tell people, if you have a good income and family, the best place to live is NIgeria. MOre oppurtunities are in the US but if you have a good opportunity in Nigeria, you are better off. 5 Likes |

This is what you get when they devalue your currency. They take all your crude oil, pay you in dollars and the money becomes useless when you convert it to your currency. The effects reflect on every other commodities. The irregularities in the Brent Woods monetary system favors the advanced countries at the detriment of the poor nations richly endowed with natural resources. 2 Likes |

Lordave: lmaoo how about buying the whole of America? the average house located in a not so expensive state when converted to Naira is around 50,000,000...for this amount you would get yourself a nice structure in Nigeria. people rarely build new houses from ground up, only the super rich could afford to, the cost of buying a land will first run you down, to add property tax, insurance, and utilities. you go fear! |
Re: Comparison Btw Cost Of Living In The United State And Nigeria. by Chinom(m): 6:28pm On Jul 12, 2015 |
OP is partially right. The comparison is between people or workers of the same class and category in both countries. Like a cleaner in the US and a cleaner in Nigeria or a bus conductor / Agbero in both countries. In most places in Lagos, especially motor parks, the average bus conductor can get a meal for N100 complete with meat. One room accommodation are certainly available in Lagos for N4000 a month. Even less than that. And there are Taxis in which you will pay about N100 per trip. Of course you will have to share it with 4 other people. Housing is definitely cheaper in Nigeria than in the US. We are not talking quality of the houses here, but just roof over your head. 1 Like |
