Popular Nigerian skit maker, Lord Lamba, has shed light on why many Nigerian celebrities who travel to the United States often return home after a short stay, attributing the trend to the high cost of living in the U.S.

In a video shared online, Lord Lamba pointed out that while people in the U.S. earn in dollars, they also spend in dollars—something that can quickly exhaust one’s finances.

“You see most of your celebrities, they’ll come to the United States. Bro, two weeks, they’re back home. They’re crazy,” he said.

He stressed that the financial burden of living in the U.S. is far heavier compared to Nigeria, especially when it comes to handling basic expenses like rent and utilities.

“If you pay bills, you think it’s Nigerian bills? You go broke. You pay bills, you go broke. You want to come to United States?

“People earn in dollars. Bro, the bills is on dollars. You’ll pay your bills in dollars, bro. You’ll broke,” he added.

Lamba, known for his humorous takes, went further to challenge his fellow creators, daring them to live in the U.S. for an extended period without going bankrupt.

“I dare any content creator to come and stay in the United States for six months. If you no broke, make I bend,” he quipped.
