The Value of $1000 In My country

avatar
(Edited)

The value of currencies differs between countries , it may be low in one country and high in another. I'm a Nigerian, the current value of $1 is equivalent to 600 naira which is enough to buy at least 3 mudu of cassava flour or a half mudu of rice, and this is enough to feed an individual for at least 3 days. If a dollar can be that valuable here, it means a thousand dollar will do much more. The minimum wage for civil servants in my country is $50, i.e 30,000 naira. Most families depend solely on this minimum wage for feeding and other expenses for a month. Imagine how wealthy such a family will feel if $1000 is paid as their wages.

The truth is , $1000 is a huge amount here in Nigeria. It's equivalent to #600,000(naira) and with the nature of our poor economy, it can settle a lot for an individual living averagely. Excluding living a luxurious lifestyle, $1000 can feed an individual for 6-7 months comfortably on a three square meal. Personally, I have never held $1000 at once in a time, the highest I have owned is $120 and it settled a lot of things then.

The amount should be able to start up a good business here in Nigeria. Most start-up capital for small to medium enterprises do require around 100,000-20,000 Naira which is around $180-360. So, for a young man who's starting life on a low to average budget, a thousand dollars is a lot of money to save him from the falling economy and help him live well.

Finally, even though $1000 has high value here in Nigeria, it's not enough to either purchase a house nor buy a house but is enough to buy a portion of land in some parts of the country. Give me $1000 here in Nigeria, and I'll live like Bill Gate for the next 6 months.

They literally have attempted my murder and are trying to kill me with V2K and RNM. Five years this has been happening to me, it started here, around people that are still here. Homeland security has done nothing at all, they are not here to protect us. Dont we pay them to stop shit like this? The NSA, CIA, FBI, Police and our Government has done nothing. Just like they did with the Havana Syndrome, nothing. Patriot Act my ass. The American government is completely incompetent. The NSA should be taken over by the military and contained Immediately for investigation. I bet we can get to the sources of V2K and RNM then. https://ecency.com/fyrstikken/@fairandbalanced/i-am-the-only-motherfucker-on-the-internet-pointing-to-a-direct-source-for-voice-to-skull-electronic-terrorism ..... https://ecency.com/gangstalking/@acousticpulses/electronic-terrorism-and-gaslighting--if-you-downvote-this-post-you-are-part-of-the-problem if you run into one of them you may want to immediately shoot them in the face. 187, annihilate, asphyxiate, assassinate, behead, bleed, bludgeon, boil, bomb, bone, burn, bury, butcher, cap, casket, choke, chop, club, crucify, crush, curb, decapitate, decimate, deflesh, demolish, destroy, devein, disembowel, dismember, drown, electrocute, eliminate, end, euthanize, eviscerate, execute, explode, exterminate, extinguish, finish, fry, grind, guillotine, gut, hack, hang, hit, ice, implode, incinerate, kill, liquidate, lynch, massacre, maul, microwave, mutilate, neutralize, obliterate, off, pop, poison, punnish, quarter, ruin, shank, shock, shoot, shred, skin, slay, slaughter, smoke, smother, snipe, snuff, squish, stab, strangle, stone, suffocate, suicide, SWAT, swing, terminate, torture, terrorize, whack, waste, wreck.

I think $1000 is big money anywhere. Sad how inflation makes it seem little now.

I agree with you, $1000 is a big money especially if everything was on a normal. Though some countries still consider it a very big money like the Venezuela
