How Much Will It Cost Me To Design a mobile APP In Nigeria

@"mostHandsome01"#p871 you have a point. But there is no nigerian developer actually charging as high as foreign developers. The average hourly rate of an american dev ranges from around $100 (very low) to $1000+ (top nerds). But this is small compared to other professionals. A top marketing consultant could b commanding $5k/hr! While this may seem high to us (and the rest of the world) , it's not much if you are living over there! A good dev salary is $100k. But a house is about $800-1m+! In major tech hubs. House rent for a 2 room place takes a lot in ppls income. 2) while a chinese worker can earn $27/month (big enough to cause rice farmers to migrate to the city) . Most indian nd chinese programmers flooding freelance sites,output code of horrendously poor quality.They are some u.s firms who dont outsource because of this. When you consider the nigerian charge nd actual developmnt cost,u see,we dont charge much. Lets do d math:

24 internet- \~20k (spectranet)
adequate electricity-15-30k(nepa+gen+servicing)
rent - 30 - 50k (2 room self contained)
hardware subsidy-10k
(hardware failure etc)
\-----------------------
75 - 110k

i've not included health insurance,food,transportation,TAXes, before we get to the main profit!
I know we dont think like these but top companies do,that's why they charge very high for their servces. They cover ALL COSTS and pass on ALL OF it to the end user.
So,while it may seem high, a developer charging what they charge shouldnt be. It's actually trivial,in d scheme of things! Top talent r also scarce,inspite of droves of indians chinese etc. Ever wonder y google/microsoft pay their engineers so well? Up $200k+ (and easily reaching $500k+) ? Because by their math, the value provided exceeds the cost they r paying for. And the math is working well for them so far. Most nigerians r grossly underpaid nd overworked,we've gotten used to it so when we see some1 charge what he's worth, there's outrage!
\#i'm not advocating high charges. Just being objective about it

@"asalimpo"#p876 but guy u talk better thing for here, i was once opportuned to work alongside some austria programmers(my work was not programming thou, more like the guy doing the audit), and i must say, this guys just do things upside down and was expecting the upside up result, in quote this guys were aweful, well its not that i could do what they where doing(am just a learner), but to be honest the way they handled the project was just too mediocre for a over-rated IT professionals, if not for a lady programmer(that girl is too awesome), i guess that project would have been another abandoned project.!!!
Anyway Nigerian programmers are so bounded with building projects for people business and can't even think of an idea that could regurlarly give them the dough they want.
Look at Mark(facebook c.e.o)...he was a freelancer before not until he built facebook, i guess Nigerians can't think of same....
Is alryt though, the possibility of FreeLancers going into extinction is just near minimal.!!!!
