rottennaija: He said N500 will buy you a pack of bottle water right? Now how many bottle water can you buy with N500 in the US? With $1 you buy a pack of bottled water here! Therefore $1 = N500 Meaning there money is 500 times higher than your own. Hope you learn small here. |

Lol..the author of this article is either been deliberately misleading or just not bright. He claims to be comparing the value of currencies whereas he is actually comparing the cost of living. While you are at it, make sure to compare the minimum wage per hour in Nigeria (188Naira/0 4$) to that of the US(3625Naira/7.25$) and the Uk (3930-5232Naira/6.55-8.72£) using your exch rates and also inquire on what percentage of our 18+ population earn up to the 30k minimum wage monthly. My problem with Nigerians is that once some of us are comfortable we tend to forget that the majority amongst us can barely afford the very basic needs of life Since we are comparing "economic indices" why did he not compare the inflation rate here >12% and <2% in those places?

![]() Great piece there and it was all true but still the purchasing powers of dollars and pounds in those owning countries are as hard as gem stones. Those whites too complain about how hard it is for them to pay their bills. The only difference is that they get paid with equivalent of their workloads while in Nigeria workers get paid less and below. But my stand out on your piece OP, is that, stop mentioning Dino melaye. He did nothing wrong. If he had never being in charge of any treasury as a state Gov, Minister, perm sec, dep. Gov, president or the vice of the president but has only been a Senator and a house of reps members which had made him to earn same way the other reps members and senators earn and not more, then there is no reason bringing him to any mud. Instead every senators and reps should be dragged because ir only shows that all of them have the same spending powers but are busy spending theirs on girls and concubines while Melaye enjoys spending his on himself. So if no authority thinks of quizzing him over his wealth while he has no other source of income than being in the aforementioned positions, we should just leave him alone. As for me i dont say what I can't prove or base my judgement on what people say or what I feel but not what I know. |

Oga Eruobodo, u have no idea of what ure talking about! U are no different from d Dino u seem to want to unintelligently shade. Ure comparing purchasing power of d naira/dollar vis-à-vis finished products and I can tell that u have never left d shores of Nigeria, and have arrived at ur conclusions via second hand stories from friends of a friend abroad. The bread u used as an example is made with products that are 90% imported. The bottle water u have so happily costed as cheap is made with imported equipments and materials. Ur country is presently killing off small businesses, while America is known as a country of mom&pop (small scale) businesses. In short, in d words of Asari Dokubo, U think say u wise ure a MUMU MAN!! |

tensazangetsu20:The article is obviously a paid propaganda to defend the economic failure of this current regime that has further bastardized the naira from the $1 = N220 they claimed was a disaster under the GEJ govt that pushed it from 180. But all na wash. All through my primary school and up to form 2, my brother na coins I dey spend, I never know what it's like to hold paper money. Rich men children of those days they come to school with N5. I went to school with 50kobo, and it's not as if I was from an extremely poor family that lived under the bridge. That 50 kobo sef, we still dey ball and chop life on top. Do the generation of today even.know what coins look like? Maybe if they read text book sha, it might be there. But till today, they are still spending coins in America and Europe, cents and pennies are still part of their purchasing economy and there are things you can buy that cost less than a dollar and pound. Yet one mumu that doesn't know he is a mumu and was probably paid to write a mumu article that will create more mumus like him is now telling us that Naira has more value than Dollar and Pounds. Mtchwwwwwww. Dis kain lie dey provoke person. It means these politicians view majority of Nigerians as idiots. Chaiii! Dey don see Nigerians finish. Na c finish dey cause am. After all, we have around 80 million or more eligible voters, out of which probably 30 million are accredited every election cycle and then 98% of the actual voters queue behind APC OR PDP, 2 certifiable useless evil corrupt parties with nothing to offer other than looting and stealing and oppressing the public to death with taxes and guns. Yet, people cannot say enough is enough, 2023, all of us will queue behind another vibrant party with neutral candidates, not people that are stooges and boys of the political godfathers holding this country to ransom. NO, the voting public are already shouting Atikulation 2023, Jagaban 2023 etc the same PDP and APC. D baba wey tie the minds of 180 million Nigerians and put it inside empty pot and bury it under Aso Rock, na GOD go judge you ![]() 2 Likes |

Nigeria is dead. It will take a Nigerian that can form a quorum to wake it up, not Heaven that only helps if you help yourselves. The guy gave you a simple rational way that even a dummy can understand, but miseducated and indoctrinated Africans, operating on mental slavery are comparing one naira to one dollar. Are you educated enough, if you are not old enough to know that one Nigerian pound was one British pound or seven and six pence to a US dollar? What changed? Junk importation, Structural Adjustment and Political Devaluations based outside of gold standard found in abundance in Gold Coast. Nigeria exported less but more important, Nigeria depended much more on local products then. This guy made BUY NIGERIAN products and services into simple a b c d you learned in primary schools. Yet, you guys are comparing US one dollar to one Naira. Who put this curse and indoctrination on you? Oil Income! 1 Like |

PrudencyFeats: Then clearly you didn't read the post or have not been following the US economy. A 1.5l bottle of water cost 1.82$ (appro. 700 naira in the official exchange rate of 386/1$). A question for you, can you a 1.5l of bottle water in Nigeria, any brand of table water for that more than 300 naira (0.78$) in Nigeria? We understand. Our currency is valued less than the US currency. At the same time, our money have more value for the same good produced within our borders. Our cost of living is low, compared to their own irrespective of how strong their currency is. Imagine someone in the south south that earns 10k per month. But rice is 500/cup, beans is 50/cup and another that earns 50k per month say in the North but rice is 400/cup and bean is 400/cup. Who actually has a lower cost of living? You are pointing their the exchange rate and the obvious fact that our currency is less valuable than the US dollars. But at the equivalent value, whose currency has a higher value for purchase of goods and services at that equivalent value? |
