A bit devastated now because I woke up this morning thinking of how to sue EKEDC lekki district for bringing a bad high current at midnight which in turn damaged my household electrical appliances such as two standing fans ( one rechargeable and the other normal ) my microwave , 90 percent of my sockets in the house are burnt , all the security light outside of the house are all blew out, my phone and two phone chargers , two extension boxes , electric bulbs in the house etc .. I’m pained and devastated . I need help to sue them ..

Do you know the funny part of it all, most of this immigrants wouldn't do the kind of jobs they do in their home country

A dish washer in America makes over N2Million a month?!

Tell that to the marines!!

GavelSlam:


No dishwasher earns 5,000 dollars monthly.

I'm assuming that's a typo.

jamjo:



$5000-$6000?? monthly, where do you get your information from please just say what you know?

ObservantFellow:








First and foremost, my point in essence is that one makes more money doing those jobs elsewhere; USA in this case. I've never been to America before, so I may have gotten my figures wrong, but don't think I made a blind estimate out of ignorance. With the description in the answer given by that fellow, he talked about the man's stamina on the job. I estimated 18 - 20 hr work input daily for a month. Closing hour would of course further reduce that sum.
Anyways, The figure I used was estimated from this simple Google search:

Take the dishwasher job for example.. In Nigeria, that ranges from #5,000 to #20,000 monthly in a city. In America, with their hourly pay can easily give one $5,000 - $6,000 monthly. That's at least #1.5m in Nigeria's current clime. Difficult to blame their choices sha

I got a notification mail from Quora as usual, though I didn't find the question and subject of discuss interesting from the mail, I just reluctantly opened it.

See question below an American asked and the quality of answers he received from his fellow American.
Please read and be encouraged.


Question:
Whether people admit it or hide it, isn't Trump absolutely right that ordinary Americans are now sick of African, Mexican, and Indian immigrants migrating to the USA and stealing jobs from American citizens?

Same way I arrived at the estimate. Perhaps it's not so ridiculous for those that do it.

The average salary for a Dishwasher is $23,042 in New York City, NY.

ObservantFellow:


I would have loved to analyse that graph as it is my thing, but like I said earlier, I've never been to America, so overkilling it would not be too smart.
Even at $23k per year. That's like $2k per month which is around #600k monthly, about 30 times his/her counterpart in Nigeria. Easier to do menial jobs for that reason.

We are all entitled to our different perspectives about life, as far as it is working for you. Success stories have different versions, what worked for you may not work for others.
I migrated to America reluctantly because I had a great job in Nigeria, however I have not regretted moving to US. Initially it was all exciting and mesmerizing but as you climb up the social ladder you discover you don't really belong there - maybe your children would be more at home there but not you. We cannot run away forever, let's go empower ourselves to come back and build our fatherland.

oyb:


clearly you cant even read from the very first post

what generation is elon musk?

or steve jobs?
or oppenhemier, father of the nuclear bomb that won the war?
einstein?
the same obama you mentioned?
Sundar Pichai
Satya Nadella?
ariana huffington?
arnold schwazenegger?
or even the first lady

where do you get this bizarre ignorant bs you're spouting from?


wtf is this weird bs?

Whats the average living expenses in NYC.

TheCabal:


LoL ... your talking about the top 20%. Its putting a kid witb 3.5 gpa in a class where the least gpa is 3.5. Then you turn around and tell us you have the finest educators.

But anyone with 3 units of statistics knows thats BS. For every hundred immigrants that hit the docks 95% end up as dead beats with 200 - 300k debt within 15 years. Ever walked with a 30 pound lead ball anchored to your heels?

TheCabal:


Subtract ; rent, tax, power, phone, transportation, food and water, maybe insurance. It gets worse if you drink alcohol and/or smoke.

Now you need 3 dish washing jobs. But hey, you get to take nice pictures with white people and post them on instagram.

Good job .. kinta kunte.

this doesn't sound right.

immigrants are building another man's house while theirs fall to rubbles.

that reply was 'selfish'. the American was thinking from his American first POV.
let them build our house.

that's why most of them love immigrants; they build America for them but their home country is wasted.

it's not their fault sha. it's the fault of the immigrant's country.

omololu2020:
you have said it all.

Just imagine,here in Nigeria, you won't use light

,yet the electricity company will bring a bill to you,

you will pay for the light you didn't use,can such a thing happen in a develop country?

I don't know why the NA can't pass a bill,that will state that,any apartment that does not have a prepared meter,must not pay any nonsense power bill

ObservantFellow:
Yeah. It's easier to get paid well for your sweat there,

hence the decision to give their all. The motivation to fo the same at their home country isn't the same because your salary is just one of the many problems.
Patriotism is just secondary may be off but then, bills are to be paid. I think they're just after meeting their basic needs; It's when this has been done that patriotism can become an option.

lastmessenger:
yes because if you do that kind of job in your home country then you are doomed for life.imagine a 30something year old guy washing dish in a Nigerian hotel. Tell me what his life will become if he continue to wash dish.

Your family must be filled with foolish people,cause if not you won't quote me and start saying dumb trash,your father and mother are both stupid for not training you well.
