My normal shift is 6 on and 3 off, I work 8 on and 1 off.

It is my bosses that call me and colleagues that depend on me to help them out. The stigma is in your mind.

They may not say it, but you'll feel it
I've even had an American tell me with his voice full of scorn how Nigerians always doing overtime and 3 jobs like they've never seen money b4! It becomes a stigma

3662AA:
I am in Canada and using my figures.

Well you are being deceptive because you know we are talking USD

Emetex22:
I won't win thus argument lol, don't even know y I am dragging this lol, I am currently at work as we speak

No you won't win the argument. You are certainly not making $110 per hour regular as a nurse!

BigDawsNet:
You don't be like everybody else eventually...

If you move abroad and you really care about your family and relatives back home... you will hav to work more than average American even after getting your citizenship....

Unless you know send anybody...
Just me and my wife and kids

My friend your becoming like everybody else is not necessarily by choice. Your always working becomes a stigma. Your fellow employees and even bosses will secretly resent you for it - like you are the only one that likes money; greed! This guy is always in the hospital! They may not say it but you'll feel it, and after a while you'll succumb. A human being can only take so much!

3662AA:
Google also says the same about my job too.

Note the screenshots are hourly for regular hours. If they work overtime it’s 200+ per hour

Funny guy. These are Canadian dollars. Also Nurse practioner is almost a doctor, higher than RN

3662AA:
I work 16 hours shift. First 8 hours is at 42/hour. Second 8 hours is overtime at double pay which is 84/hr.

So my average is about 63/hr, plus I also work weekends.

Any income is possible.

I have also seen a lady with over 50k monthly. She’s white though.

There’s also those in crime. Steal a brand new car, ship to Nigeria and sell for 20m.

Nobody should be pressured, just grow at your own pace.

You can't work like that on a sustained basis because you must have a life - wether you like it or not; It'll become a stigma. You fellow employees and even bosses will see you as greedy, out to be rich; always in the hospital!

3662AA:
Travel nurses make more than $110/hr

You forget we have google. See below

SocialJustice:
Nigeria does not have credit to start with, business people here are very unethical, greedy and close minded.

Stop assuming you have an idea of what I'm talking about, you have absolutely no idea.

So how do Nigerian billionaires do it without going to UK? Credit? How about all these loan apps? If you only knew how quickly credit can become a trap! Google how many credit counseling or credit repair agencies in US.
Bottom line, if you are average in Naija, you'd likely be average in UK too, unless you become exceptionally lucky there - which can also happen in Naija!

Emetex22:
I told u she is a nurse practioner and OR nurse with CRCNA license , what u posted is for regulars like me and through indeed agency. No need to argue bro, if u pick up extra shifts as a nurse practioner, u will earn so much IRS will become u r friend. At 160 an hour, u will beat that, trust me.

Well, you said your nurse friend makes $110/hr. Indeed has the salary range straight from all the employers as 34-85k

SocialJustice:
The people who are into the business and taught me a lot, I guess they are angels not humans?

Stop living this your limited life where you believe what you do not know does not exist.

No wonder successful people hate interacting with the public or even bothering to teach them anything about what they do.

My friend you'd equally be doing it in Nigeria. There are legit billionaires in Nigeria who never left Nigeria. Then there are foreigners, Indians, Lebanese who move to Nigeria to make it!

Kivaro:
Please, please do not blame the aspiring entrepreneur. If he is a good stockbroker, stock trader, day trader, options trader, real estate guru, exporter of used goods or specific items, in addition to lots of overtime work, or two or more jobs at his daily job and probably using computers so that he can have

See, that's different and possible in Nigeria too. But they are talking working three 9 to 5 jobs and making millions!

SocialJustice:
Stop being the biggest barrier to your life progress.

It's called facing facts. If you are the kind of person who'd drop into UK and have £10m in 5 years, you'd equally be doing very well in Naija. So stop using not being in UK as excuse

MaxInDHouse:
Any hater of what is happening in the hall can do that. JWs aren't really concerned about who the devil use to inflict pain on us we know the one fighting us it's not flesh and blood {Ephesians 6:12} in fact we often pray for such ones! Luke 23:34; Act 7:60 compare to Matthew 5:44

So the shooter is of no relevance to us it's the authorities who makes rules the shooter broke that will take him up on that and if he repents today we will welcome him with open harms!

You are a lay person. You just believe what you are told to belive. You don't know the kind of heart/spirit the leaders. Shine your eyes sometimes

BigDawsNet:
For real bro...

We Africans achieve more because we have the spirit to hustle... you can see a black man from Africa working 3 jobs... no rest for 7 days...

Whites won't do that... dey even go for holidays with dia income
How many Nigerians dey save for holidays

You can only do that for so long (usually as an eager new commer JJC), then, as a human being, you realise it's not worth it, you become like everybody else - body no be firewood

Emetex22:
My friends makes mor, I came here 2010 after NYSC for master but ended up staying. Most nurses at UCSF makes over $110 an hour lol, I am not kidding lol.
My wife is a nurse practioner and makes close to 450k a year

Who am I to believe as to salary range. Indeed or your wife. See below

BigDawsNet:
Obviously...
Even whites we met here... some can't even boast of $2,000 in dia savings account

Not even close. See below

MaxInDHouse:
Jesus' prophecy about what will happen to his true disciples in the last days are been fulfilled! Matthew 24:9; 35

My friend who was the shooter. I thought you'd have inside info

Kingofmykingdom:
I made a comment here that I gross $988k this 2022 and gross $750+k 2021 and have only been in the United States 3 years going to 4 years by June, someone said I’m lying and some other said no true. Now let me explain in details.

But this your story is possible in Nigeria too, or anywhere for that matter. That's why there are millionaires everywhere, and also poor people everywhere. It is not by being abroad. Someone else may do exactly what you did and go bankrupt!

Okonandmary:
We don't know if you are lying or not, that is the problem

He/she is lying. See below, the HIGHEST paid nurses make $3k a week, possibly up to 5K with lots overtime

frankson1:
What type of fresh/new business or investment in Nigeria managed by another person that will make you millions in a short time

Something many abroad have tried and swore NEVER AGAIN!!

MaxInDHouse:
That's exactly what Jesus said will happen to his (TRUE) disciples if they stick to his teachings:

Men will expel you from the synagogue. In fact, the hour is coming when everyone who kills you will think he has offered a sacred service to God. John 16:2

So what you just cited shows that JWs are doing exactly what Jesus taught that's why this could happen to them in a religiously tolerant country like Germany!

WHAT happened is the question

BigDawsNet:
Things work out differently for people abroad...

Let me say... maybe people who make so much money in just 2 years abroad are destined to shine overseas... it's not like other won't make it... but the grace will be different...

So grace matter
Then we have people running jobs that are not legit.. it may work for them presently.. but the day dey got arrested... they lost everything...

My advice... just ignore and focus on your own success story..

Try and learn Tech pls... easiest way to make it large in overseas

NO MATTER WHAT, if you are doing a regular job and living a regular life, you can't have that kind of money. The only way is if you do deals or something illegal.
Regular 9 to 5 job? No way!!

SocialJustice:
Ask questions instead of talking like this. I haven't left Nigeria but when I do, I'll attain at least £1m networth of 5 years in the UK, it could balloon all the way to £10m in 5 years.

Ask questions.

Not ask questions.
Look at people who are already in UK and ask yourself why they don't have £10m. If you are so special, there are also people who become millionaires in Nigeria, why aren't you one of them??

Viltron:
Many of them are scammers. Majority of Nigerians abroad are fraudsters

WE KNOW!! They're in the headlines everyday. Those who haven't been caught tell you how they are performing wonders flipping houses and working 3 tech jobs!

CXLVII:
So one can keep soaking himself in loans.

Does high credit score pay bills when their is no source of hard cash to offset it?

Credit score indeed!

No mind am. Something that is more often than not, a trap. Unlike in Naija, they offer you everything on credit and you quickly find yourself buried in debt and can't afford to miss a single paycheck at work!

amuwo1980:
But other guys got it right , side dish explains it all

Well, this is a Nigerian audience. The photo you have there is not "side dish" anywhere in Nigeria!

Tinubu's boys.
I Simply can't fathom how someone like Tinubu can be president of a country!
From drug dealing to MC Oluomo to Apha Beta to bullion vans to missing background to peeing on himself to blubulaba, that's who they can find in a country of 200 million people!!!

MaxInDHouse:
.

Below, what's going on?

Fahvvy:
You and thebosstrevor1 are both right depending on the context you're viewing it from...

We've viewed it from science, let's view it from a relationship stand point...

Women in general want men who are rich, successful and powerful ba?

(A rich man is most likely to attract many women as compared to a poor man)

So for a man to be able to attract very many women, he will have to be rich, powerful and successful...

And you don't become rich, powerful and successful by just sleeping around, it takes real work! Years of it!

So to be able to get to that point where you get to even sleep around, it means you must have built a certain level of value (or at least fake it ) ...

I've already posted on this, here:
https://www.nairaland.com/7603944/she-said-men-lose-value#121609373

I'll mention you both

thebosstrevor1:
I dont know about that.

All i know is that many men become very confident by the number of women they can attract and sleep with.

This how the real world works, it all about sex, money and power

Ok, let's go to science. See below

thebosstrevor1:
I dont know what you are talking about.

Lets me just explain it to you in the most lay man language.

A man with lot of wives is seen like a well respected man, a woman with lot of husbands, how do you think society will look at her.

A man with lot of lovers is seen like a play boy, a woman with lot of lovers is seen as a slut

That is just the difference and i am not making up stuff, i have seen this played in real life.

I mean internally. Everyone, male and female, becomes stronger (higher value) by abstaining from sex, not by sleeping with lots of people
