Despite all the challenges we face in Nigeria due to all the obvious setbacks we have, the truth is that people are still making it here. It's hard work, but with determination, success isn't far-fetched. The world has moved online and digital skills are now the new oil wells for legitimate wealth in Nigeria. Acquire high turnover digital skills and earn from the comfort of your home, even if you still do a 9-5 job. Contact me via WhatsApp on 09052160014, for the free video that explains it all. 1 Like |

I think a lot of people are getting things wrong.. there is wat is called STANDARD of LIVING & QUALITY OF LIFE..; life expectancy etc.. u can be a billionaire in Afghanistan/Somalia/Yemen, but with that environment, do u think that that billionaire STANDARD of LIVING & QUALITY OF LIFE..etc , can be compared with a lower-class man in a very peaceful averagely poor country like Lesotho,? so it's not about the cash but it's the value of life, Quality of life.. this is one reason why Ghana, Malawi, Nambia etc are rated above Nigeria.. even though we have more money than them.. same reason why Akure is rate above Maiduguri even though its bigger with more people more federal presence.. etc |

RisenPhoenix1: Can I walk into a bank with my degree certificate and get a loan of 200,000 to start a business without knowing a politician. Where can I get angel investors for a business? How many % of Nigerians live below minimum wage and is that minimum wage enough for a average living?? Tell urself the truth which is that the standard of living in Nigeria is low. |
Re: A 100k Monthly Salary In Nigeria Is Better Than A 400k Monthly Salary In USA by Nobody: 9:52am On Mar 12, 2021 |
tonyson010: Yes. If you provide adequate security for the loan or a known guarantor who doesn't have to be a politician. In fact, there are some professional groups who are eligible for loans higher than that based on their qualifications. The dearth of angel investors is due to the unreliability of the investee, that is not a problem that the government caused, but our own untrustworthy character. I believe that it would be difficult to get an angel investor anywhere in the world if you reveal beforehand that you are a Nigerian. Having said that, there are in n fact many angel investors in Nigeria. They just tend to keep their funds exclusively for young men and women that are known to them. In any case, oncefunds are obtained operating a business is much easier in Nigeria, and no one migrates abroad because they want to meet angel investors anyway. The minimum wage is not a factor here. And in no country in the world is minimum wage 'enough for average living' if by that you mean a middle class standard of life. That is why it is called minimum wage. I don't think so. Like I said, given sufficient funds, there is nothing we can obtain in the West that we cannot obtain here. I should actually make one exemption; a first class college education; but that is the only exemption. Everything else is available here at cheaper rates. 1 Like |

Six Ways America Is Like a
Third-World Country
Our society lags behind the rest of the
developed world in education, health
care, violence and more
By
The U.S. imprisons a higer percentage
of our population than countries like
Russia, China and Iran.

Although the U.S. is one of the richest
societies in history, it still lags behind
other developed nations in many
important indicators of human
development – key factors like how we
educate our children, how we treat our
prisoners, how we take care of the sick
and more. In some instances, the U.S.’s
performance is downright abysmal, far
below foreign countries that are snidely
looked-down-upon as “third world.”
Here are six of the most egregious
examples that show how far we still
have to go:
1. Criminal Justice
We all know the U.S. criminal justice
system is flawed, but few are likely
aware of just how bad it is compared to
the rest of the world. The International
Center for Prison Studies that
America imprisons 716 people per
100,000 citizens (of any age). That’s
significantly than Russia (484
prisoners per 100,000 citizens), China
(121) and Iran (284). The only country
that incarcerates a higher percentage of
its population than we do is North Korea.
The U.S. is also developed
country that executes prisoners – and
our death penalty has a serious race
problem:
, compared to less than 15
percent of the overall population.
ADVERTISEMENT
Over two and a half million American
children behind bars. A
whopping 60 percent of those
incarcerated in U.S. prisons are non-
violent offenders,
(overwhelmingly African-Americans).
Even while our crime rate has fallen, our
incarcerated population . As
of 2011, an estimated 217,000
– that’s 600 new victims every day,
a truly horrifying number. In 2010, the
Department of Justice
about abuse in juvenile detention
centers. The report found that 12.1
percent of all youth held in juvenile
detention reported sexual violence;
youth held for between seven and 12
months had a victimization rate of 14.2
percent.
Popular on Rolling Stone
2. Gun Violence
The U.S. in
firearm-related murders, and the
difference isn’t a slight gap – more like a
chasm. According to United Nations
, the U.S. has 20 times more
murders than the developed world
average. Our murder rate also dwarfs
many developing nations, like Iraq,
which has a murder rate less than half
ours. More than half of the most deadly
mass shootings documented in the past
50 years around the world
, and 73 percent of the
killers in the U.S.
. Another finds
that the U.S. has one of the highest
proportion of suicides committed with a
gun. Gun violence varies across the U.S.,
but some cities like New Orleans and
Detroit
, where gun violence
is highest in the world.
ADVERTISEMENT
3. Healthcare
found that in many
American counties, especially in the deep
South, life expectancy is lower than in
Algeria, Nicaragua or Bangladesh. The
U.S. is the only developed country that
does not guarantee health care to its
citizens; even after the Affordable Care
Act,
because governors,
mainly Republicans, have refused to
expand Medicaid, which provides health
insurance for low-income Americans.
Although the federal government will
pay for the expansion, many governors
cited cost,
. America is
unique among developed countries in
that tens of thousands of poor
Americans die
, even while we spend more
than twice as much of our GDP on
healthcare than the average for the
Organization for Economic Co-operation
and Development (OECD), a collection of
rich world countries. The U.S. has
that dwarfs
comparable nations, as well as the
highest teenage-pregnancy rate in the
developed world, largely because of the
politically-motivated unavailability of
contraception in many areas.
4. Education
The U.S. is among in
the world that does not guarantee paid
maternal leave (the other two are Papua
New Guinea and Swaziland). This means
many poor American mothers must
choose between raising their children
and keeping their jobs. The U.S.
education system is plagued with
structural racial biases, like the fact that
schools are funded at the local, rather
than national level. That means that
schools attended by poor black people
get far less funding than the schools
attended by wealthier students. The
Department of Education has confirmed
that schools with high concentrations of
poor students
. It’s no wonder America has one
of the highest achievement gaps
between high income and low income
students, .
Schools today are actually
than they were in the
1970s. Our higher education system is
unique among developed nations in that
is funded almost entirely privately, by
debt. Students in the average OECD
country about 70 percent of
their college tuition to be publicly
funded; in the United States, only about
40 percent of the cost of education is
publicly-funded. That’s one reason the
U.S. has the highest tuition costs of any
OECD country.

5. Inequality
By , the U.S. tops
out OECD countries in terms of income
inequality, largely because America has
the stingiest welfare state of any
developed country. This inequality has
deep and profound effects on American
society. For instance, although the U.S.
justifies its rampant inequality on the
premise of upward mobility, many parts
of the United States have abysmal levels
of social mobility, where children born in
the poorest quintile have a less than 3
percent chance of
. Inequality harms our
democracy, because the wealthy exert an
outsized political influence. Sheldon
Adelson, for instance, to
influence the 2012 election than the
residents of 12 states combined.
Inequality also tears at the social fabric,
showing
that inequality correlates with low levels
of social trust. In their book
, Richard Pickett and Kate Wilkinson
show that a wide variety of social
indicators, including health and well-
being are intimately tied to inequality.
6. Infrastructure
The United States infrastructure is slowly
crumbling apart and is in desperate
need for repair. One
that our infrastructure system needs a
$3.6 trillion investment over the next six
years. In New York City, the development
of Second Avenue subway line was first
delayed by
; it’s still not finished. In South Dakota,
Alaska and Pennsylvania, water
via century-old wooden
pipes. Some 45 percent of Americans
. Large
portions of U.S. wastewater capacity are
more than half a century old and in
Detroit, some of the sewer lines
to the mid-19th century. One in
nine U.S. bridges (or 66,405 bridges) are
considered “structurally deficient,”
the National Bridge
Inventory. All of this means that the U.S.
has fallen rapidly in
.
America is a great country, and it does
many things well. But it has vast blind
spots. The fact that nearly 6 million
Americans,
, cannot vote because
they have a felony on record means that
politicians can lock up more and more
citizens without fear of losing their seat.
Our ideas of meritocracy and upward
mobility blind us to the realities of class
and inequality. Our healthcare system
provides good care to some, but it
comes at a cost – millions of people
without health insurance. If we don’t
critically examine these flaws, how can
we ever hope to progress as a society? |

are richer than most America
hip-hop artistes – Akon
reveals [video]
By NellyBillz
Senegalese US singer, Akon has revealed

He made this known at a summit for youths
where he revealed that the glamorous
lifestyle seen in American hip-hop videos
are actually fake.

Bentley and pretty women is actually the
opposite of reality.

‘The images they show about Africa are so

in Chicago, more school shootings in
America. Akon: Why Africa is Better than
America’. |
