How to compare value from the first column with value from second one

I am not a programmer asked:

Open original thread
I have the following table:

id---name-------contry---states
1----usa,ab------usa------ab
2----alb,ac------alb------ac
3----nm----------bun------nm
4----but---------but------nt
5----rsa,ab------rsa------rb
6----Null--------brt------rt

I should take the value from column 'country' and 'states' and check that this values exist in the column 'name'. Show the rows where this values does not exist.(null or only country or only states)
for example: if in the 'country' i have value 'usa', in the column 'name' i already have this 'use' value THEN does not show me this row. Show me the rows where the value 'usa' does not exist. The same with column 'states'

What I have tried:

have no idea what o should try. I try through 'like' or 'declare' but can not find the logic. thank for helping

When answering a question please:
  1. Read the question carefully.
  2. Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar.
  3. If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or edit the question and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
  4. Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it. Provide an answer or move on to the next question.
