But happy people.

It's all about communication and compromises.

I wonder what all Abia state Governors have been doing to promote the production here.
If the governments were serious, Abia should be talking about her GDP in trillion Naira now!

It is high time the producers started branding their products and stopped the Aididas, Nicke, Tomberland, Looise Vuitton, Mack and Spender et al we see around!

Cococandy, you are a Nurse? Interesting. Now I know why you make all those delicious meals.

I do not doubt what you have said. Times are really hard in Nigeria especially with the galloping inflation. True, I earn twice more as a Graduate Assistant in US than I do as a federal senior staff in Nigeria. But my one month housing also cover one year housing bills in Nigeria. I also do not pay $100+ insurance monthly for owning a car as I do here. Generally living index in US is still far far better off.

However, my statement was in comparison of nurses' salaries to their corresponding entry level staff in same federal govt Ministry job which is 58k. State is even less. In my state, Edo, it is 35k for entry level graduate. On same scale, nurses are way better off than many workers and they should be thankful for it.

If two people who earn 100k+ in Nigeria get married and pool their resources together, they won't really suffer except they are extravagant. Even 100k+ for a single nurse is enough to live well. In Nigeria, my bag of rice lasts me more than 10 months. Or do you want to blame the Government instead of the people who decided to give birth to numerous children and live their lives tolling for their kids? US peeps give birth to one or two children. Have you seen a couple or mother with one child suffer?

Nigeria will never save even in recession. I still see extravagant marriages every Saturday? Like what can change our lifestyle? seriously? It is until we die?

You just thanked badejob for exactly the character trait we want nurses to display here in Nigeria without excuse of any sort. Is it too much to ask? Of course people and the system will frustrate you but a core professional with a grain of empathy will always show care.

I am not a nurse, I have had over 1000+ post on my 6year on nairaland. Could you please check if you found any of my post insulting or derogatory to people here. Even when I am insulted directly, I still find a way to pass my message politely or just let go. This is hard but its a winning character trait

@Gracious10
The easiest thing to show is care! You don't have to be a nurse to show it. It costs you nothing! But for nurses, it is expected of you to show abundance of care.

As per salary, nurses receive on of the best salary package in federal and state institutions . A federal ministry entry level starts with N58,000 be you an engineer, accountant or microbiologist. Entry level Nurses starts with more than 100k. So I don't know how nurses are treated unfairly.

If you say they learnt from their older colleagues, I will understand but that is no excuse because we should correct the bad norms of the past. More so, this is love-driven profession.

I wanted to ignore you but I just couldn't...
I just want to ask you these questions....
Before you got hired for a job, don't you read the job description and what was expected of you?

Before you got hired, don't the employer usually tell you the amount they were offering to pay for your services?

why would anyone read a job description and accept the offer and would not do what was assigned or expected of him or her to do properly...

If the pay was small, is it not wise for them to wait for a vacancy to arise in a place where they will be paid millions with smiling allowances and kindness grants...Instead of accepting an offer and start inflicting more pain to people that were already in pains

Or are you trying to tell me that Nigerian employers do not stipulate what was expected of the employee in black and white when advertising for a vacant position; or that the payment was not stated during the interview...they just decided to pay the candidate whatever without his or her knowledge; or that they do not do some kind of orientation to the newbies telling them the successful candidates where they are and what the challenges they will face and expectations from the employers....In as much as I agree that there are difficult patients,..the attitude of some nurses are just inexcusable...

badejob:
I have the MOST respect to Nigerian nurses (but I've only worked with the ones here in the US)..NONE have EVER made me feel that way when I worked under them, especially Hospital nurses..out of all the African nurses I worked with, they were my favorite!! So intelligent & compassionate..usually they were talking ME down to keep from cussing rude patients!!

DarkRebel101:
You don't seem to get the joke. The contents of most of those sacrifices that Sango, Esu or Ogun worshippers place in Nigerian roundabouts are usually eggs smeared with lots of palm oil. Hence the OP's reference to it.

Lilac91:
I hope my bastard in law sees dis thread as he is a nairalander...to me he is a bastard for daring to lay hands on my sister

ifyalways:
Lool Nld.

But what if that is what the man wants at that particular day ( I crave for yam, palm oil and pepper sometimes) or its what they can afford? One tuber of yam is 500, bottle of red oil 1000 so yam and oil is not by any means a poor man's meal anymore.

Dear OP and fellow nagmen , you can't drop "crayfish" chop money and expect "chicken soup". Cause and effect

willyblinx:
I won't forgive you.. .No I can't forgive you for this. .
Oh my God. .

CFCman:
Basically, the lack (or inadequacy) of health insurance is the remote cause of the bitchy attitude of the nurses. If the hospital knows that they'll get paid for their services as at when due, the Drs and nurses would be more professional.

However, I don't get why the hospitals don't provide meals to admitted patients, including nursing mothers; or require the patient to provide his/her own gloves, disinfectant and medication.

Until you ki pesin with long throat abi?

SuperStriker:
I am here to make a case for death penalty in Nigeria and also to request that such sentences be carried out swiftly.

Some people may argue that death penalty is not good because you should not take life that you cannot create so my question to these set of people is what of the life taken by the criminals which they cannot create?

Some say that death penalty does not serve as a deterrent to crime but I disagree. Go and check Egypt where the penalty for rape is death, they have very low rate of rape in that country.

How can people be so evil and wicked to behead three small children and then to capture a little boy and cut off his joystick

Oh lord, my heart is broken.

I say death to these criminal!!!!

Even if will not bring back the dead but it will also send the killers to the land of the dead where they have sent others.

Let our National Assemble see this.

I urge every Governor that has a death penalty in front of him to sign but yet to do so to sign immediately and have these demons executed without further delay.

It is even written in the bible that when judgement is swiftly carried out, it brings terror to the heart of the wicked.

Only an unusual degree of stupidity will make a normal person give such evil advise.

nairaman66:
I am not buying the story!

Progressive01:
That incident remains one of the most barbaric I've witnessed my whole life where we completely lost our essence as Humans.

It is a damn shame no one has been punished for it. I grieved for a week when i watched thag video and somehow wished i never watched it. And my grief took a turn for the worst when listened to the song they did together- as though they foresaw What happened to them.

Progressive01:
Someone should call for a comprehensive investigation of Aluu4 incident. Who's the senator representing that constituency sef?

The loved ones of those boys deserve justice!
