Uganda look much like Nigeria but the only difference is that cost of rent is expensive in Uganda compare to similar neighborhood in Lagos or Abuja because rents are paid annually in Nigeria. I find the cost of Food, Meat and Vegetables more expensive in Uganda than Nigeria. This video makes me to appreciate living in Nigeria.

    Cost of living is very affordable (coming from the Caribbean) but the MOST important part you forgot and left out is HOW MUCH DO JOBS PAY? WHAT IS THE MINIMUM SALARY AND HIGH END SALARIES? WHAT JOBS ARE EASY TO GET AND HARD TO GET? WHAT DO BUSINESS REQUEST BEFORE HIRING?
    In most places, if cost of living is low, then jobs and business also pay low salaries.
    How much is a full body massage?
    What about entertainment, like tours, movies, games, sports, and plane tickets to nearby nations?????

      There’s barely no jobs in Uganda, maybe starting a business, could be selling food. Average Uganda job could pay anywhere from $150 to $300 a month
      A massage is about $25-$30
      A beer is most bars is $1.3 and plane ticket to Nairobi for example could be about $300-$400 (flying in Africa is more expensive than most continents/countries)

    Food prices depend on the location. Such a market where she's at, are higher compared to downtown markets in closing hours of business. They vendors spread out on the pavements and would beg buyers to clear stock of the day.
    So best time to shop for food is from 5.30 pm onwards. U get quite alot more than early or mid day deals.
