AUSTIN OGANNAH 

1. N500 can buy me 2 square meals in Nigeria but $1 can’t buy you a meal in the US.

2. N500 can buy me a 1.6gb worth of data in Nigeria but $1 can’t buy you a 250mb of data in the US.

4. The most expensive place to live in Abuja is Aso Drive, a single room cost N400,000 per month, same room goes for N350,000 in Lekki all in Nigeria. Same room in Manhattan, New York City goes for N1.8 million per month.

5. N500 can buy me a dudu osun bathing soap and a Vaseline for the harmattan season, $1 can’t do same in the US.

6. N500 can buy me 3 litres of fuel in Nigeria, $1 can only buy you 1.3 litre of fuel in US.
