Can’t Sustain My Family With It – Nigerian Nurse in the UK Earning N5.3 million Monthly Cries Out Over Insufficient Salary.

In her video, the nurse revealed that her monthly salary as a band five nurse amounts to £2,767 (equivalent to approximately N5.3 million).

A Nigerian nurse based in the United Kingdom by name Wemimo has taken to social media to lament over her salary.

She revealed that her salary is not enough to sustain her.

Wemimo revealed that she earns £2,767 (equivalent to approximately N5.3 million) monthly but finds it difficult to sustain her life with that.

She lamented that after taxes and other various deductions, she's left with just £1,973 (equivalent to approximately N3.8 million).

She pointed out the prevalent misconception among some husbands that their wives’ nursing salaries suffice for the family’s needs.

In her words;

“It’s high time men in the diaspora whose wives are Nurses step up and start helping in the family. I don’t think I have seen any family surviving on one income in the UK.”

Netizens Reactions:

@Figer Walata said; “A lot of people make more money than nurses. Business analysts.”

@Jennifer Chino said; “Nursing career is just name. Most HCA receive more then the nurses.”

@Mrs K said; “I am a team leader in a care home and I bring home £2500 after tax and other deductions….all nurses should be considering care homes not NHS.”

@nelsongarande said; “I am in Africa, December alone my hustle made me in excess of US$7 000 and I finished my house, yet we still want to find a way to come to the UK, crazy.”

No all that glitters is gold. Personal I prefer my country than japa except if I have a clear cut conviction it is God’s desire for me. There is no place better than home.

Looks huge locally but is small over there.

Then come back home nah

My university Room mate is crying bitterly.

Guy moved to UK last year with is wife spending 17mill for masters......na dish washer job en see.

Bills wan kill am and there is no support back home......it is crazy in the UK.

If you are a big boy in Nigeria just stay here no waste money go UK ooo.

Let them stay there ooo
We have people that are still looking for job, they have refused to employ.
I don’t even like all these jappa restrictions,
any one that wants to jappa should be encouraged,, but they must resign first, not eating euro and naira at the same time, blocking job opportunities for others.

Even if your after-tax take home pay is 10k plus, if you don't know what you are doing, your will still lament!
Look inward, restructure your lifestyle, your expenses, and expectations, if not the system will consume you.

Well I understand.


The family should just cut the expense to what is available and not the expectations.

The only way to do this is to plan before money comes.

Live within your means. How much was she earning in Nigeria

The UK is notorious for low salaries, especially in the Anglophone world. Immigrant ambitious nurses hone their experience in the UK and port to the US or Australia (which White British nurses have done). Nigerian nurses should do the same. At least, to write NCLEX-RN no go hard compared to their counterparts in Nigeria who have to slug out the visas to South Africa or Kenya.

In her words;

“It’s high time men in the diaspora whose wives are Nurses step up and start helping in the family. I don’t think I have seen any family surviving on one income in the UK.”

Isn't that the norm in Western countries, and the wider developed world? Abi are Nigerian men whose wives are nurses doing my money is mine, but your money is our money? How fast the tide has turned. God bless Gender Equality and Ndi ifenemenisi

Sorry. E no easy anywhere.

Truth is, earning in Dollars, Pounds or Euro and spending in Naira is the best.

Also, can you plz stop making baseless comparison? She earns in Pounds and spends in Pounds. NOT NAIRA.

The conversion is not needed.

Anyways, I need 17k. Do it 4 me. Check the sig.

Small thing una go dey convert like mad people

Someone is living in UK and you're converting the money in Naira ...Dem swear for una

That's very little, I doubt if she is a nurse.

I can relate with this post 100%.
The way most of my friends in the UK are complaining eh, you'd think we forced them to travel out.
I don even change WhatsApp number because I don tire for their matter.

If she is a single mum, then her salary is very small. If her partner earns comparably, then life will be good. The era of subsisting on a single income in the West is long gone.
