- Living in a two bedroom apartment in Australia on my own I have to pay $1151 for rent monthly. I make $5877 monthly.
- the difference in housing (Aus & Nigeria)
- Wow! You're rich! In Nigeria it costs $1639 for a 3 bedroom flat for my close family of 15
- Someone on my block is homeless and he sleeps in a tent outside. He does not have access to indoor plumbing or heat.
- the similarities in housing (Aus & Nigeria)
- My best friend is homeless and lives in a small tent as well without access to heat or running water
- I am fortunate enough to be able to afford to feed myself 3 hearty meals a day costing me about $45
- the difference in diets (Aus & Nigeria)
- My family can hardly afford to feed me once a day because of how expensive our housing is. When we get donations from local kitchens we normally eat meals consisting of rice and beans
- There are many differences between life in Nigeria and life in Australia; one being housing. In Australia the average yearly income is far higher than in Nigeria, therefore it is more common to see people living in more luxurious settings. The average housing for an Aussie is living in a decent quality two-bedroom apartment. In Nigeria, the living situation is quite different. In most instances, due to living off of minimum wage, Nigerian families get crammed into small one room apartments and more fortunate people are able to afford a bigger living space. It is very uncommon for a Nigerian to be living on their own.
- differences in transportation (Aus & Nigeria)
- To treat myself to something special I was able to buy myself a Toyota Helix, a popular car in Australia
- Although there are many differences in lifestyles between Nigerians and Aussies, there are also a few similarities. Majority of the homeless/less fortunate population in both Nigeria and Australia have poor living conditions without running water, electricity, plumbing, and heat. Most of the homeless population can be found living on the sides of streets and cheap tents.
- similarities in diets (Aus & Nigeria)
- My uncle is a farmer and struggles very much to get by. Farmers in Nigeria make very little money. It normally costs more to tend to crops and animals than you get in return
- One of the more drastic differences between the two countries is their diets. The majority of people in Nigeria struggle to afford food for themselves and their families. When they are fortunate enough to access food it ost likely something cheap but substantial such as rice and beans. In Australia, people have much easier access to food of quality and quantity. On average most Aussies are able to afford to put 3 meals on the table for themselves each day.
- Contextualization in Nigeria
- Thank goodness our government has decided to place air quality monitors around the country. It has made my lungs feel so much better and we have access to ways to help improve the quality of areas with poor air quality.
- The forms of transportation in Nigeria and Australia are quite different. A Majority of Aussies have access and can afford to pay off their own personal vehicles. Most can afford to have access to a selection of vehicles as well. In Nigeria, it is extremely uncommon for people to own, rent, or even carpool. Most Nigerians travel by foot, bike, or on occasion animals.
- Hardly anyone that I know is able to afford a car. Our main source of transportation is by foot or animal and bikes if you're lucky
- Although there are many differences in diets, there are a few similarities in agriculture. In Australia, they are most known for producing and growing sugarcane, tobacco, cotton, grains, and produce. Farmers in Australia, unfortunately, make little money. The same applies to Nigeria. Farming in Nigeria makes very little money. Even though there are so many cash crops grown farmers profit very little due to the cost of the materials needed to run their farm.
- In Australia we farm mainly sugarcane, tobacco, and grains but similar to you farmers tend to make very little money
- In Nigeria, the government has begun setting up air quality monitors all around the country. This will help bring attention to areas that are in need of a solution to the pollution and provide a safer environment for Nigerians to live in. Air pollution and water pollution are two of Nigeria's biggest environmental issues.
