Take the exponential of that number, that's the number of unrecorded deaths in Nigeria.... let's not talk about the recorded ones

Again it depends on your state. As a new grad with no experience , $40+ was my starting pay years ago.

I’ve heard of nurses in the south say they pay them $25-30/ hour. I feel bad for them. But Republican states are notorious for that

Paxlovid:
Not arguing with you. What you posted is not a lie, but I Just want to put things in perspective, for those that may not be aware.

Do I think RNs should make more than they are currently earning? For the abuse they take daily, in addition to the wear and tear, of course I do.

If that is without benefits then that makes sense. Most people’s pay with benefits is around that rate. But take home is almost half before taxes. They may have a salary of 70k but it costs the employer about 140k to keep them. But a contract employee pays their own benefits by themselves in full. Which could be more expensive as employers get discounted rates actually. I did see one of the pay slip say contract.

But if Coco is saying that pay is with benefit, then I guess we will go with that.

Living in Nigeria is very risky. If you can, leave as soon as possible. Don't be deceived by those who are stuck

Sure there are, but the majority are just “comfortable”. I have many friends and former colleagues there. I am talking of the average Nigerian relocating in their late 20s and 30s with 60% of required funds. Not Mbadiwe’s.

Badgers14:


Just curious.

Which state starts RN @ $40/hr. Is it New York or California?

Cali new grads in hospitals is 55-62/hr.

In facilities like long term care etc the pay might be around 40/hr in Cali. My knowledge though is based on hospitals and acute care mostly.

I don’t know about pay in New York. I’ve heard mixed reviews. Some say they pay well while some say the pay is poor for the amount of work they are required to do. They don’t usually have unions there so they can require more work from them.

I was a new grad in the Seattle area years ago. That’s where that number is coming from. I’m no longer there for now but pay’s probably gone up too with inflation like it did in Cali. So basically in the west coast you’ll see better pay than in the south

Thank you.

Cost of living are higher in the west coast.. that's probably a contributing factor in the higher wages.

Midwest I believe they are still $25 - $38

For lying that PO drove Northerners away from Anambra I will not vote for Atiku anymore.

Keep quiet and stop saying what you don't know, your so called several oyinbo wouldn't trade the quality of life they get there for your 24m NAIRA job down here. The steady electricity they get alone does it all talkless of a host of others. Besides, when you convert the 24m NAIRA to their currency, they'll be the one losing.

I read about a guy that quit a $650k a year job to be a Uber driver.

His white collar job paid good money, but very stressful and worked lots of hours, zero personal life.

He managed to hang in there for few years and invested wisely. Driving Uber was just to kill boredom and stay sane

The day you or your family member fall victim to a kidnapping attack, and they are ransomed 5-10million naira, that is when you will have a rethink.

Anaya4life:
Two million naira 3years ago was about $5,500. Today it is equivalent to approximately $3,200. Cost of living and inflation is rising in Nigeria. For most people that relocate, it's not always about the money but the quality of life and opportunities available there. People say we don't spend in foreign currency but as long as our economy is imports driven, we will always feel the effect of our weak naira one way or the other....For those in the diaspora who complain about bills and taxes, I always wonder why they have refused to come back sha.

Flets:


Infact, for proper context, as at today, 1 USD equals 630 naira. As such 24million naira today equals 38K USD. It could easily equal 20K USD in a year following current trajectory. Infact, the folks relocating are the smart ones.

Diesel is 800 naira per liter. Average lekki serviced flats spend almost 750k per month on utilities.
