if counter == "5": // does not work
   //something
if counter == 5: // does not work
   //something

from tkinter import *

root = Tk()
root.geometry("200x200")
root.title("My Clicker Game")

global counter
counter = 0

def nClick():
    global counter
    counter += 1
    print("hello")
    mLabel.config(text = counter)
mButton1 = Button(text = "Mine Gold", command = nClick, fg = "darkgreen", bg = "white")
mButton1.pack()
mButton2 = Button(text = "Goodbye", command = root.destroy, fg = "darkblue", bg = "white")
mButton2.pack()
mLabel = Label()
mLabel.pack()
root.mainloop()

solved it thanks people for listening
here is the right code

from tkinter import *
abc = 1
root = Tk()
root.geometry("200x200")
root.title("My Clicker Game")
global counter
counter = 0
def nClick():
   global counter
   counter += abc
   ab = counter
   if ab == 5:
       print("hello")
   mLabel.config(text = counter)
mButton1 = Button(text = "Mine Gold", command = nClick, fg = "darkgreen", bg = "white")
mButton1.pack()
mButton2 = Button(text = "Goodbye", command = root.destroy, fg = "darkblue", bg = "white")
mButton2.pack()
mLabel = Label()
mLabel.pack()
root.mainloop()

The problem was I didnt reference the updated counter

Generally, with a GUI, you are going to want to do OOP programming with classes. At that point, it's better to have counter be an attribute of a class, and nClick be a method that updates the counter. Global variables should be used sparingly, and generally only for constants.
