@ A-40, i guess we're not similar like i thought
Diddy is wack!!!!!

@Deepzone, gosh! You need to chill out with the outburst and name-calling. We don't want to go there now, do we??
what's up with the "media LovePeddler" comment?? anyways, that makes no sense!

You must be delusional to reason such. What? are you a media LovePeddler? who told you that nurses are not in high demand elsewhere apart from the US? Even in Nigeria, a qualified nurse gets a decent job that pays good. The EU nations an south Africa pay their nurses good too. Most rich Arabian countries are the best in paying nurses.  Do not compare an auxilliary nurses salary in Nigeria with a qualified American nurse. An auxiliary Nigerian nurse is equivalent to a CNA in America. If you add the cost of living and everything, both boils down to almost the same thing with a little difference

.
I repeat they're not in high demand!!! Well, i haven't been to europe or asia. So, let me base this on just african countries, how many people got health insurance in Nigeria?? when you get the correct number, get back at me. How many nursing homes are there in Nigeria?? Like i said earlier,Health care is very important in America. That's why most immigrants who move to the states choose nursing. Go to most colleges, they tell you how many people want to get into their nursing program and how there's little space left. It only takes 4 years to become a registered nurse and maybe an additional 2 years to be a nurse practitioner. Compare that to other courses and you'D know why they choose nursing.

Bull!! Doctors order nurses around in America. Have you worked in a hospital before? Of course, there is a considerable amount of decency that is also applied to a janitor, a landscaper etc. There is dignity in labour in America, so it's not limited to nurses.

I haven't worked in a hospital before but like i said earlier, my mother is this same nurse we're talking about here. If anyone should know about nurses, that'D be me. Don't gimme that "you see the way nurses carry themselves", unless you're one, you really know nothing about them. First hand experience is the best. You say it's not limited to nursing?? that's right but aren't we talking about nurses here?? how many women are landscapers and janitors?? learn how to focus on the issue at hand.

You mother was/is a midwife which translates to an LVN in America besides, the doctor delivering baby story is totally false. My illiterate grandmother use to deliver babies in her home, how much less a doctor. Did she also perform caesarian on them if there were complications? How come a doctor that can perform such procedure is not able to deliver a baby?

I thought it was called LPN. And no, she is a nurse but also studied mid-wifery. my story is false?? I never said the doctors could perform anything. That just goes to show you how "qualified" some of the so-called doctors in Nigeria are. Like i said, the doctors barely knew how anything in the hospital works. Most of them just got out of school and had no experience but in Nigeria, once you bear the title "doctor", you are supposedly better than a nurse.

It's how God made them, I guess.

It's how God made them, why couldn't these same husbands agree that God made their wives to be "pompous"??

It depends on how you hold your head high and how you are able to manage this confidence you are talking about. White American nurses do not always have these problems at home, why? are they not also confident? there is a difference between being confident and being pompous. Pomposity derides people around you and makes you a beast.  I think we have to agree that our Nigerian women have proven that money makes them and not them that make the money. What is the big deal about preparing dinner for your own household? Is that not supposed to be fun? My mum use to get mad if she comes home and find out that dad fed us with whatever he can garner from the fridge.  Don't we all want to stay together as a family at night, eat and pray together? what has money turned you guys into? I hope you know that you can work 500hrs for all I care, but it can never make you fulfilled and rich. show me a Nigerian nurse that made her money from clocking in and out in America and I'll concede.  A nurse's avg damn salary in America is 45K/Pa abi? OT can push her up to 80K/PA MAX and IRS will take about 30k/PA living her with 50K take home/PA, is that enough to destroy your family and not look after your kids?.

Why should white american nurses have to have the same problem?? that doesn't justify anything. Although it's totally understandable why they don't have the same problem. Firstly, they've lived here all their lives. They were not brought here/trained through school by their husbands and then expected to be slaves because of this fact. Secondly, their husbands don't feel as if their wives are obligated to succumb to their every need just because they brought 'em over to the states. They work longer than their wives, they're the sole providers, and make sure she doesn't work 16 hours everyday. By the way, some nurses earn thousands of hundreds.

Good for them there are other women in other professions in America that are the main provider for their families and they do not deride their partners. I'm totally against these gruesome murder but am a firm believer in equity, it's better to look into the main cause of this problem than lament and curse the men that are responsible. Could our women be the trigger factor? I'm telling you this b/c i've had a first hand experience with these nurses and the first impression they get when they see you is you must be a damn freeloader because you carry a cheap ass bag. How much money do these damn arrogant nurses make that people haven't made before?

how are you so sure that they do not "deride" their partners?? You've yet to hear of other ones, that doesn't mean they don't exist. you're a firm believer in equity, well so am I. I don't think that if all the responsibility wasn't placed on the wife nurse, there'D be a need for her to disrespect her husband or whatever they did to have caused their murders. It makes no sense that a man would be complaining of being disrespected when his wife pays all the bills, works longer hours than him, etc. I am 100% sure that if the husbands were able to provide for their families, these women would be happy to even be housewives. you can't provide, yet you complain. Seriously, the woman is only one person. One person can only do so much.

I'm not excusing them for the murders. I'm only look into the causative factors from a different perspective to avoid future occurrences and i think it's more useful that bemoaning a spilled beans. It's a very bad thing to push people to the wall especially when they are down. There was a case of a man in Wyoming that got away with murdering his wife because she not only cheated on him but she followed him when he left the house to allude him on how less a man he is and he turned around and shot her. That's gross mental abuse especially from someone whom you made possible. So many of these nurses not only destroy your lives, they take your kids, and make a jest of you in front of them. Mental sanity is a chameleon, and there is a thin line between sanity and insanity. Do not make a man or a woman drift from sanity to insanity because you are applying undue pressure.

If these men didn't marry village champions that haven't seen money before, they(the women) wouldn't think they have "arrived" with a nurses salary. Two of the cases above tho were not clear case murders, the women lost their lives during a fight and it can happen to anybody.
Do not hit your wife or husband/domestic partner, he/she may give up the ghost and send you to the list above. It's better to walk than to be walked

I'm definitely not for divorce but it would have prevented all these murders. how many were there again?? 6, 7. . . To me, there's nothing worse than taking another person's life. Only God can do that. And there can never be a reason to murder anyone not to mention your wife. No matter what the victim did. These men did not "make" their wives. Ok, some of 'em brought the wives abroad, so?? she then disrespects you, gently walk away. Ain't that hard to do.



Well, i showed this story to my mom. She was shocked and sad for these women. She then laughed and told me not to worry because hers can never be like that. Her story is not like that of these women.

RichyBlacK:
You probably don't know the meaning of the word "qualification".

Unless the nurse has an MD and a license to practice medicine in the US (typically obtained after at least three years of residency), the doctor has more relevant qualifications (as far as the health care industry is concerned) than any nurse.

Nurses that have nothing will be making mouth when high net-worth giants like software developers, doctors, engineers and attorneys are keeping quiet.

Well, i meant that some of the nurses in the states have just as much the same qualifications as some doctors in Nigeria.

Man, I really don't care about Obama and his comments.

Don't care if he wins the presidential election either.

The US is already a made country. they don't need my help.

What i find confusing is this Onyiuke of a lady stashing away money for Obama

Obama, who has enough money to feed her whole family for their whole lives.

Hungry children are still abound in the streets of Nigeria but this lady would rather give to the rich

than help her country. Na wa oooo!! This kind of madness is beyond me. This is exactly why Nigeria

is the way it is. Gosh, she really thinks Obama cares about her few nairas?? when he got lots of dollars

Maybe now, they'll know that Americans don't give two shits about them.

Na wa oo, why do gay people like to believe everyone is also like them??

People can't be heterosexual in all honesty anymore??

I mean, it's okay if you're gay but dang, stop consoling yourself by saying other people are too!

hmm, interesting.

@Deepzone,

You're getting it wrong, in a way. Do you stay in the States? I'm guessing you don't. You asked why we don't hear of such cases in Europe, Asia, or in Africa, that's because nurses aren't in high demand in those places.

Ofcourse, everyone deserves health care but take for example, Nigeria - Nurses are paid change and are regarded as
"petty" by their doctor co-workers. But here in the states, it's not like that, nurses play a very big role at their working place(hospital, rest home, nursing home, etc) because health care is very important to Americans. The population of America also has a huge influence on why nurses are so much sought after.

They work hand in hand with doctors and not like it is in Nigeria where they get ordered around by doctors just because they earn higher incomes. some nurses have just as much qualification as some doctors.

My mom was a nurse in Nigeria but she delivers babies also - she studied mid-wifery. According to her, at one hospital she used to work in Nigeria, the doctor didn't know how to deliver babies but they're rated higher because they're doctors. My mom usually got calls in the middle of the night to help with delivery because the doctors were clueless on where to begin.

Now, why is it right for a man to have an ego but not a woman? These nurses have every reason to be confident(not cocky). Last time i checked, men like to be the head of the house, which means taking responsibility for the majority of the house problems(food, home mortgage, phone bill, electricity bill, water bill, etc). Why then would they expect a lady to pay all of these bills and then come home every night to prepare dinner? He must be living in dreamland!

You might be paid more than nurses as you stated, good for you! Truth remains that nurses work a hell of long hours, why? because they're the main source of income in their homes. If their husbands could provide, why would any woman like to bother herself? As for me, if my husband makes a bagload of money, damn right i wouldn't stress myself much, even being a doctor(not nurse oh), i can definitely cut down the hours i work, less than 40 hours a week because there'D be no need for that. My hubby can provide.

Ok, let's accept that these women felt like 'lords' over their husbands, is that enough reason to murder someone you got married to, for better for worse?? Man, i thought that's why they got divorce as an option. If you can't stand the heat, get the hell out the kitchen! Na by force??. Please, stop making excuses for these murderers. One of them even committed the act right in front of their daughter. who does that?? a lunatic! Thinking that you saw your mother butchered right in front of you by your father, do you expect that child to feel safe with you?? Hell no!! well, enough said.

Wow, this is sad but not really surprising. I mean nairaland is kind@ a joke these days.

I almost left myself but i came back.


I'm gonn@ miss you, Menike. You were the first to show me love when i came to this nairaland rap thingy.

Bye, sweetie!

Ok, thanks.

Hahahaha@ obscenely ugly. That's funny! But it would be even funnier if the poster and all these other men are 'obscenely ugly' as well. Pls, pls, I hope these 'men' talking are cute cuz if they're not this topic would be an even bigger joke.

And don't try to gimme that BS 'attractiveness is not so much required in men so long as you're rich'. Attractiveness matters in men just as much as it matters in women!

Hahaha, my sister showed me that shit like 2 days ago Cuz she visits that site. I know what to expect so I won't even bother clicking that link. Ewww, that chick is disgusting! Somebody lend her some clothes. They said she's an actress, never saw her face before.

[Quote]The only profession where you don't have to even pass the exams to have jobs lined up waiting to hire you as soon as you get a pass mark.[/quote]@Queenisha, whoa! Can you explain this quote??, pls. I think I'm missing something. You mean RN's do not have to pass board exams to become RN's??

Arrghh, nairaland is getting boring by the day! Anywayz, I don't care if am looking for trouble, someone gotta say it.

All these pumbaa, musafa BS makes no sense. If y'all can't advice the dude, then leave the thread be. Uugghh, nairaland is sooo childish. Making every thread redundant.

Btw @Onyinye, why do u feel like u gotta reply every tom d!ck & harry on nairaland? Man, with the way you're going, I hope u don't get a hypertension soon.

@poster, Well, I think Hannibal has given you the right advice in one of his posts. Get your education and money straight first. Then the chicks would come.

It is indeed the black race as I said earlier.[/quote]Ok, I'll take your word for it, since I haven't been to those countries.


@Onyinye2, I'm not talking about the churches in the States but the ones in Nigeria. You know americans don't have the poverty problem like Nigeria does. That's why I said poverty might be a reason. Lots of Nigerians go to these big churches because they're popular for 'miracles'. They expect these pastors to help them get rich by worshipping them as if they're God.

KarmaMod
[Quote]You reckon? Accoridng to people like davidif, we should be happy that Naija men don't divorce. I guess murder is "more romantic"[/quote]Well, this is the problem with Nigerians with that kind of stupid mentality. They think of what people will say when they hear you're divorced. Where are those people when your face was being used as a punching bag, leading to murder?? Thank God I don't live my life for anyone but me. I say if your spouse is acting up, divorce him/her. Unless you like suffering and smiling, not my thing!

@topic, maybe because they think it's their way to success/out of poverty.

@Onyinye2, please, the poster is right. If you've been to Nigeria or their churches, you'll know what we're talking about here.

@somebody, I think it's a Nigerian thing, don't know about the black race thingy.

This is what happens when Nigerian men bring you over to the States, they then believe they own you. Ok, some cases in this story, the women came to the States on their own but their husbands still had that male superiority thing going on.

Seriously, they shoulda just divorced their wives instead of murdering them. Na wa oo. Hmm, I can't marry someone I'm richer than, not good sometimes.

@'malc, dayum!

'U so generous nigga, I could tell by the way u 'GIVE' up'

'Still won't be able to deliver shit even if you're pregnant, man'

I love those lines. They're ill and funny too.

Well, Lemme start by saying high school is another type of hell
That no kid ever want to deal with or smell
it starts out fun, playful, and childish
In the middle, you then feel stressed out, pressured, and dull-ish
There's the cool, the nerds, dorks, and all kinds of stupid titles
Guess where I fall in? Your guess is as good as mine, call me subtle
Like kanye, am in-between and way more fresher
I'm so slick, I try to be unnoticed but the reverse comes in
My momma said I was born to stand out, that's why I never try to fit in
Good girl but bad in the making
Nah, I don't skip classes Cuz that'd be faking
I'm so straight just like my A's which comes with high honors
Folks talkin bout 'girl, u need to be my tutor'
I smile thinking 'nah, you can't afford it'
This is so long, it's turning into 'the life & times of shawn carter'
Gimme some time, a year,I promise to give the full chatter
As for now, high school is hell, heaven, and gold on a platter.

.

Ugghhh, making long posts is tedious with my phone. But I'll try my best breaking it down.
