Yes. It's why I asked my friend as I don forget how much Nigerian corporate workers earn. I hope she replies. Those days, I had the raw data but inflation and Buhari have rendered them obsolete embarassed
Right. And keep in mind that pay hasn’t gone up in the same way inflation did.

When I was a teenager/adolescent adult, my mom was chief nursing officer in a govt hospital and even for a civil servant that was a nice spot to be. Since that time, income hasn’t been reviewed and they still earn the same income from then. Especially those of them who retired in their positions at that income rate.

You can’t even do much with that same amount of money now. That’s how these conversations come about

you know in Nigeria in the name of bashing japa, some are ignorant ,that's those who have the means, and the others do not have the means so just follow tha bandwagon to hating or being deliberately being ignorant. You know the same old story of washing dead bodies and plates etc? in my 24 years in the Uk I have never ever met a Nigerian who wash dead bodies,cos U will have to be paid very well too .
You’re so right. Neither have I. It’s a whole ass mortician degree or mortuary assistant certification required for those jobs but we like to talk about what we don’t know .

Yes. But not better than a bank manager. You people really under-estimate how much permanent staff at banks earn. They earn well enough by Nigerian standards.

A toilet cleaner in the abroad better than a bank manager in Nigeria? Ah! God forbid! Some comparisons no be am abeg. Please don't say this in the physical public o shocked
It has to depend on the bank and the level of management

Bigger better bank, probably better benefits.
Like the general manager of diamond bank can’t be the same as one unit manager in sub division of the bank. Or even a small/medium bank.

That’s the problem with all these generalizations

Those people living “fake lives” also built houses for their moms in Nigeria and their own houses in Nigeria that they own outright without mortgage just like you . What’s your argument?

This mortgage argument is so dvmb.

There was a thread about one former bank manager who became high rise buildings cleaner abroad. He had to take up that job when the reality of no job at all stared at him
Well one of my CNAs at work used to be a bank manager in nigeria too. She didn’t have a choice as a new immigrant without support to do what you’d consider low wage job as a CNA. Now she’s done with nursing school and passed her Nclex. I’ll be orienting her if she’s lucky to get into the unit where she formerly worked as CNA. This woman is more than 10 years my senior. And she worked with “kids” who probably 20 years her junior as colleagues. You’ll never hear anything negative from her or about her behavior. I know a typical Nigerian madam can’t do that. Or a Nigerian oga.

There’s nothing wrong with a little humility because you’ll go a long way. She already has her eyes on advanced practice education as soon as she gains experience.
Meanwhile her former bank has been bought over in the time she was here and few other managers who worked with her have to be laid off.

I’m not saying everyone has to emigrate but she must have had her reason and I bet she’s glad she did. One thing that must pass is time. If you don’t like where you are, go for the next thing. Even if it requires a few months or years of discomfort to achieve the end goal. She didn’t let the fear of temporarily doing a low wage job stop her.

Is there any category of people who are destined for those jobs? It may not be your choice understandable but what’s denigrating about it?

Denigrating jobs should be things that are illegal. Any honest work shouldn’t be considered denigrating.
Do public bathrooms in Nigeria not have cleaners? Do you guys just let your public bathrooms deteriorate?

What the issue with Nigerians abroad doing such work?
maasoap:
Let's talk about the jobs itself. I can't clean toilets for living. It's a degrading job that exposes you to a lots of worse things. Washing and packing different poos with different odours and colours and forms every single day for a living in exchange for all the benefits that you listed? No waaaayyyyy! You will even eventually lose your sense of smell in the long run! Is that part of the benefits you are talking about? Even as I'm not a bank manager in Nigeria, I can't still envy you for packing shits abroad for living

You want to tell a Nigerian madam or oga that their servant deserves a living wage, respect and similar standard of living as them? You must not know us.

Nigerians are very very extremely excessively egotistical people. They want to be lords and masters over anyone around them without actually being qualified to do so.

You can tell by the way they denigrate certain jobs. That’s why they’d rather suffer than do a job they deem to be lowly even if the job solves their financial needs.

That’s why you see them on here thinking they can use “wiping bums” as an insult to CNAs/nurses abroad. As if the sick people in Nigeria are usually left to rot in their own piss and feces. Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s the case since they think it’s an insult to provide dignified care to sick and dying people.

One person on the front page said care giving is worse than cleaning toilet. I imagine it’s the assisting the patient with activities of daily living they consider to be shameful. I’ve never seen this type of behavior anywhere on the internet before except on Nigerian forums.

No problem with that as long as the man is not trying to claim odogwu-unchallenged-alpha-meil-dictator-of-the-family whose wife doesn’t get a say. This is the new age.

Equal contribution, equal respect and equal responsibility. Note that I didn’t say they have to be the same. Being the Same is not synonymous with being equal. They can be different and equal partners in the marriage. Not lord and servant types of marriage that Nigerian men tend to want. Can’t do that with a weak pocket. I don’t know what woman would want to provide for the man, do all the home keeping and child raising and still serve him.

franchasng:
Dear Nigerian men, if you are not rich and very financially successful when you are about to marry, please be a gold digger; go for ladies that can help you financially, there are plenty of them in Nigeria and abroad. Make use of the internet social media for good, there are plenty financially buoyant single ladies in Nigeria and abroad looking for a serious man to settle down with.



Learn to be a gold digger as a single guy. Stop marrying for love, romantic love does not exist.


Marrying for love alone is a mistake in this current world we live in, marry for companionship, compatibility, financial stability and career growth. With stable income, you will never feel miserable in any marriage as a man, but being broke and married to a bad woman is worst than being sentenced to death penalty.


If you are poor or financially average as a guy, don't marry for love, marry for financial stability and compatibility.
Family › Re: I'm Contemplating Divorce After Two Years by cococandy(f): 10:03am On Sep 03, 2024
I was speechless. She looked at me and said it was a man's duty to cater to his family, and she could only "assist." Her words felt like a slap. Here I was, drowning under the weight of our expenses, and she was holding back.
When we tell you these antiquated gender roles you strictly enforce will come back to bite y’all in the balls you call us evil home wrecking feminists. Come back when you’re ready to evolve.

Until then, cry about it because you’ll refuse the solution even when it’s staring you in the face.

Misogyny speak

If you took time to review her academic credentials, political achievements, number of times she’s been voted into the several offices she’s held, you can puke see she’s just as qualified if not more qualified than the men who’ve sought that office before her

But because she’s a woman, you can’t help but see her as an airhead. A typical sexist derogatory term used specifically for women.

Yet Trump has never been coherent a day in his life. His stupidity has been very apparent from day one. There’s literally no comparison between him and the lowest class of politicians much less Kamala who’s as qualified as they come. Despite his many blunders and his history as reality TV person you somehow don’t see him as an airhead

Y’all should be embarrassed

TheChameleon:
I'm largely indifferent but if forced to make a choice, would vote against Kamala who I have seen as an airhead.

They should implement these measures more often.

Let people understand they can’t just wish death on a different group of people just because you don’t like them.
Learn to stay wherever you came from if such things are tolerated over there.
Can’t be traveling to countries where you know it’s not tolerated and then bring it with you

If what she is doing is right exposing her body for men then the guys also committing fraud,yahoo yahoo and rituals should not be judged too.They easiest way to make money is not usually the holy root as the bible talk am money is the root of all evil,you have to do evil in one way or the other to make plenty money and evil na evil.
Why do you guys always compare women who are selling THEIR OWN bodies (I don’t approve btw) or selling images of their bodies for money to men who are defrauding OTHER people, duping OTHER people and killing OTHER people? Seeing the difference yet?

Do you have any thinking skills? For example; If I show my naked body to someone and they pay me money, then a guy comes along and kills your child to earn money. To you, those two things are equivalent? I’m befuddled.

I really want to know what it is about a woman selling her sexual services that’s so evil and egregious to you guys that it’s equivalent in your minds to when men hurt others and commit bloody violence. Try to explain it logically without using religion.

Lol @ don't burn yourself

How safe is a pressure cooker? Have heard stories of them exploding and all...

Just need kitchen equipment that'll make life easier
I’ve had my pressure cooker for years with no issues.The pressure only comes on when it’s on the pressure cooking mode. You’re not supposed to open it until it’s done decompressing. When it’s on the setting for slow cooker, rice cooker, sautéing etc there’s no pressure.

Alternatively, you can look into a slow cooker if you’re worried about the pressure in pressure pots. Had one for years as well and it’s very handy for things like beans, slow cooked ribs and soups (oyibo style). Just put all the ingredients in at once, close it and go to work. Everything will be ready by the time you get back.

But our typical Nigerian meals are best made stove top. Because of their deep flavor profiles, they can be complex and their various ingredients need different cooking times.

Please, anyone that has used rice cooker, I get question

Can the rice cooker be used to prepare meals like stew, soup, meat stock, e.t.c, or is it just for preparing rice and boiling egg?

I'll like to know the other meals it can be used to prepare

Thank you
Not really. Rice cooker is just for rice.

Most of these recipes need you to open the pot occasionally to add an ingredient or stir. Rice cooker works best when it’s closed for the duration of the cooking. I’ve see a video of someone using it for fried rice but they basically had to add everything all at once and then close it. I don’t see how that would be a good fried rice recipe.

However instant pot (pressure cooker) has different settings for other types of meals including rice cooker setting. So if you’re looking for one equipment that can cook rice and do all that, the pressure pot would be your friend. I don’t use my pressure cooker for rice or any of the other recipes it’s programmed for but I just know the manufacturer claims it can do all that.

Happy cooking. Don’t burn yourself 😘

in Canada. Chinese supermarkets sell shaki(tripe) washed with chlorine . Bought it once by mistake i couldn’t eat it as the taste was horrible. Na God dey save person . What people do to food home and abroad is shocking . Palm oil is diluted with strange chemicals in Nigeria too.
I once bought garri from African store that looked so weird. Like almost neon yellow in color. Didn’t notice in the store at first because their lightning was dim.

But at home it looked like fake color was used instead of palm oil.

Could have been turmeric (I’m giving them the benefit of doubt) but I can’t be sure. One thing is certain is that it wasn’t oil. So strange

None authoritarian countries do want free speech.
It’s just that Musk’s definition of free speech is hate speech. The two aren’t the same at all.

Free speech is freedom to speak out against oppression by the elected/appointed authorities. Freedom to profess your faith. Freedom to live how you want.

When their version of free speech is to promotes violence/discrimination against any subset of people , then it’s not free speech. It’s hate speech. Elon knows this. He’s very very deeply disturbed and an unintelligent disingenuous liar.

ivolt:
Musk will eventually lose all his $40 billion dollar investment into Twitter.

Many countries are waiting for the EU to make the fist big move and the knives will be out.

Despite what Musk and his fanboys think, no country want absolute free speech.
They may claim they do, but they really don't especially when violence, potential
violence and high stake criminality is involved.

Unfortunately, Zuckerberg isn't learning from Musk's mistake.

When you open your website freely to misinformation bandits and let them post things that can lead to erosion of trust in medical and scientific institutions, erode trust in their neighbors by lying to them. You risk national security breaches
