Nigerian content creator and comedian, Lord Lamba, has shared why many Nigerian celebrities don’t stay long in the United States.
In a video that is now trending online, Lord Lamba, who is currently in the US, said that staying in the country comes with serious financial stress.
According to him, the bills in the US come fast and in dollars. Even though celebrities may earn in dollars, he said the costs of daily living are much higher than in Nigeria.
He explained that after spending just two weeks in the US, many celebrities rush back home to Nigeria to avoid going broke. He even challenged fellow creators to try and live in the US for six months without running out of money.
“Have you wondered why your celebrities would come to the United States, and after two weeks they’re back home?” he asked.
“You go pay bills. You think it’s Nigerian bills? You go pay bills broke. The bills is in dollars. I dare any content creator to come and stay in the United States for 6 months. If you no broke, make I bend,” he said.
Living in Dollars Is No Joke
Lord Lamba spoke from personal experience, showing surprise at how much he was spending in the US. While he didn’t mention exact amounts, he made it clear that rent, food, transport, and other costs can quickly empty your wallet.
He also said that the bills never stop. Unlike in Nigeria, where you can manage costs, life in the US comes with bills every week. From electricity to phone charges, to insurance and rent — the list doesn’t end.
Mixed Reactions From Social Media Users
After his video hit the internet, many Nigerians had different opinions about his message. Some agreed with him, while others said he was just complaining too much.
A user named @Kraytur3 said, “Who no go no know. I spend over 20 million naira monthly and that’s on the low end, and I’m not a celeb.”
Another user, @Crypto__hub, pointed out that people living in the US also find it hard to adjust in Nigeria. “Same way those in USA, if they come to Nigeria, they have to run back. Expenses are daily in Nigeria too.”
One commenter, @barafalee_unf, didn’t agree with Lord Lamba’s take. “You talk about bills like you don’t make the money there.”
Not All That Glitters Is Gold
Lord Lamba’s post shines a light on something most fans don’t see — the hidden stress behind celebrity life. Many fans think once someone becomes rich and famous, everything gets easy. But his story shows that life in the US, even for stars, can be very expensive and challenging.
Lord Lamba warned fellow content creators not to be fooled by the glamour of living abroad. He made it clear that surviving in the US takes more than just fame. You need steady income and a plan to keep up with the fast-paced lifestyle.
