Who said u cant compare?

I didn’t say it can’t be compared, but some people are always quick to convert FCY to LCY. It isn’t that straightforward because of the relative cost of goods and services in both countries.

Things like this is what makes people hop on the next flight to different countries. Oh you’ll be paid $1000 a month. A Nigerian brain quickly converts it to Naira, tells himself he would be earning more than bank managers. The Nigerian brain forgets to ask- would I spend the money in Naira? NO.

I'm just letting you know that the money they are going to pay is generated from tax. If 30 - 40% of your salary is cut for tax I know you won't be happy but that's the source of the free money they are sharing
My company in Nigeria pay tax every year, all the people I know working in Nigeria pay tax, what has the failed, corrupt Nigerian government used the tax + crude oil money to do


Don't even mention the tax. Even countries that are tax free, that earn money through crude oil alone like Nigeria are giving their citizens welfare packages, so what are you talking about

You sound like the children of the corrupt Northern Nigeria politicians that destroyed Nigeria to what it is today, don't annoy me oh angry angry

Okay, let's start training the mindset of the Young ones(leaders of tomorrow) on being patriotic (doing right thing) is a necessity so that once they assumes position of authority, they won't misbehave. We can't be going like this nah!
How do you want to do this?

Here is a country where it has been shown that hardwork doesn't pay!

It has been shown that you can have your way through bribery!

That education is useless!

That character, truthfulness and dedication are meaningless for successful living!

To become rich, join politics. Have you ever wondered that our richest politicians seem not to have any business apart from politics?

What hope do you think a fresh graduate has in the labour market?

Who will correct the massive disparity between the senators salary and a professor of Medicine?

The uneducated constitute more than half of your voting population and you think the right person would be chosen for leadership?

Why do you think your electorates will sell there votes for N3000?

The list is endless my brother....no hope until God selects a leader for us.

School us. I only tolerated Economics in secondary school because I liked my Economics teacher Mr Adewunmi.
I think she means purchasing power is different across countries, meaning, standard of living is different, so what N147,000 can buy in Nigeria will not 'spread' the same way in Ireland

those who have address are shedding tears ,presidents, reputable world leaders are calling on GOD to even help scientists find solution.If I may ask, who are you,please??

I am a rational human being who realizes that it's not the tears and calling on God that saves lives. It's the dispassionate understanding of natural phenomena, and how to influence it to our benefit. Whether it's viruses, floods, asteroids... prayer has not yet shown to be effective.

Don't believe me: please point me to a single example in the real world where prayer has regrown a limb so a cripple could use his legs again. It seems prayers work for most things except cripples.

Viruses and bacteria are natural and have always been around. Antivirals and antibiotics are also natural (in the sense that they are elements and molecules arranged in such a way that they affect viruses and bacteria). The arrangement may need human understanding to be manufactured, but it most cases (like penicillin), it was the discovery that chemicals from a certain fungus did harm to bacteria.

It is unfortunate.


When I look around where I live and I remember Nigeria, I weep everyday....we Nigerians there weep....many guys here have sworn never to return back to Nigeria till they die, but I won't dare that....I am an Igwe, I must go back to the village twice a year if not the gods will be angry with me angry angry



Without mincing words, black people are a disgrace to mankind.


Hand over US or Germany or Switzerland or any other developed country to black people, and then visit that country again after 20 years, they will turn it to a slum. It is about race....it is not just about Buhari, it is about the blacks, about Nigerians as a whole!!


Nigeria and Nigerians are a colossal failure as a people! We cannot build and develop our nation to be like the whiteman's country, we cannot even organize and govern ourselves like humans, we cannot build infrastructures in our own country without being tribalistic about it; build Lagos-Ibadan, build Lagos-Abuja-Kano, abandon Lagos-Onitsha-Enugu-Makurdi so that Igbo people will suffer since they refused to vote a certain party and Nigerian youths who wish Nigeria to become developed will support this and cheer the foolish leaders on instead of revolting against all these injustice and stupidity of the so called leaders of Nigeria.....

Ordinary good, working schools we cannot build, we cannot even maintain our roads, our infrastructures, we are only good at tribalism, ethnicism, bias politics, wickedness, looting public fund, shame, shame shame cry cry


I've known since that you are a curse unto this earth, I'm not surprised at your shameful, pathetic utterance against black race afterall your ignorance starts inside your blood, shior

Some shops only allow one customer at a time to enter. I spent about 32 euro on my shopping today and hope the foodstuff will last me for a while.

The relative cost is why people leave and moreso why we need to be angry with our leaders.

Production should be cheaper here, we have coal, gas, thermal, hydro power and now solar. We have the technical know how to an extent and even if we dont, how much influence does an expartriate have on the average cost on production? So why is cost of living relatively higher here than even down south in South Africa?

The Dollar is d defacto world currency, so comparability is easy, what Nations do is to convert those Dollars into local notes.

Now, a guy earning 50k here cant just earn that there y? Money here has lost its value while money there has lots of value (talking about nominal and real PPP/Income)

We are too import driven, import run, it weakens our currency and our economy. Any Nation that has a high nominal per capita income and a weak real per capita income compared with other Nation is bound to loose its citizens to that Nation and vice versa.

Africa's economy is a whole mess, moreso Nigeria's.
