“Doc, this your comparison is below your qualification level! Quoting your income while omitting other key elements such as taxes and expenses is misleading.

“It’s sad how quickly people forget the privilege they had while in Nigeria once they traveled abroad.”

“Not even a fair comparison as it is.

“The fair comparison would be.

“Nigeria = $100 USD per month.

“Australia = $7,376 ~ $9,220 per month.”
