How does free Medicaid compare to free healthcare in Nigeria?

DispatcherLagos:

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

Bro that thing is not much ooo. I don’t know the way people are seeing 24 million naira per annum.. In a year not a month… You have to factor into it the other needs ooo.. No Quality health care service, he will end up spending 10% of it in fuelling generator for the month and so many things. He will leave work by 7am and stay in the traffic for 3 hours to get to work and then another 3 hours while going home. The hardship don hit us too much for Nigeria our brain don format. Anyway I really don’t blame anyone thinking so, few years ago when I was in Nigeria I could have thought in that direction but omo after moved Mehn if you give me such offer I will still leave 500 million times. Like ehhh

pocohantas:


Don’t blame them. I had this conversation with my friend recently. Nigerians would see a salary of 600k and be asking why you want to relocate. Lol! 600k is currently less than $1000. Some tech bros are earning way more than that in a month from Nigeria.

I am not saying it is not a lot of money, but I believe most Nigerians are moved by it because majority of us earn less than 250k.

Kewtt:

Be sensible. What is the purchasing power parity of the currency earned? This is Canada where people are living like animals....

In my personal experience living in both low and high paying states, I saved more being in a high paying state with the supposedly higher cost of living. The things they look at to judge how they should pay folks are things like cost of houses, milk and gas. That’s what determines cost of living estimates.

But you end up spending almost same in departmental stores like Costco, Walmart etc where you buy your daily needs. It doesn’t even out to be the same in the end because you may pay $1000-$2000/month more in rent but you’re making $4-5k more. Which one is better then?

Anyway I feel like I made my point which is that

1) most immigrants are not doing 2-3 jobs scraping to survive like they love to believe on NL.

2) that my initial post wasn’t suspicious. It’s a real pay.

3) that someone making the amount of money stated in the OP can leave if they want and it won’t be a financial mistake because they can make up for it.

I really don’t want to argue the other points. If they even make $40-$50 per hour, it’s still very very very decent pay and is worth leaving the country for. Especially if they are a working couple and they can both make $35-$40/hr each. That’s $145k-$166k/yr of household income. It’s nothing to be broke about.

That being said there are other high paying jobs that are not in healthcare.
I think we can agree that a couple making $35/hr each with both of them working are making a good salary. I hope you agree

larrypourl:
Interesting discussions. What other high paying jobs are available our there asides healthcare and tech ?

cococandy:


*Real estate investment (anyone can)
* Law (varies by state)
*Engineering
*Air traffic controllers
*Trades like welding, plumbing and electricals (needs a trade school no degree). Under water welding is high risk high pay like healthcare due to …. High risks.
*Medical equipment sales (sometimes requires a degree in nursing or health related fields).

larrypourl:


Appreciate sis. Need to take up plumbing bi dat cos I plan leaving naija, wifey has Bsc. Special Education and also a fashion designer doing well, any possible headway for her as regards a choice of career related to her background?

He did, everybody who's old enough and politically savvy at the time know that he did.

He removed all northerners from the civil service.

Exactly!
Forgetting that living in Lagos is not the most economical of places.

Which school will those children attend?

The dude had tasted INSANITY first class and knows he made THE BEST DECISION.
Any country on without security or rule of law is JUNGLE!
Nigeria na country? You can only live for the moment WITHOUT PLANS FOR THE FUTURE.
I don’t know how people can live in a constant state of insecurity and uncertainty.


24 millionN is nothing. Even with 100 million N a year, your problems will never be solved.

Evolutionlove:


Hmmm my personal person..

Talawaka:


So a masters degree will automatically attract £96, 000/ year?
You are having a royal laugh...
You ain't got a clue.

SeaTrade:
chief,getting a £96k white collar job in the UK no be beans,the average is around £50k.
And I mean professional jobs.
Remove tax and living expenses and you'd see that someone earning N36m in Nigeria will save way more.
Your friend is either not making N36m like he claims or isn't sure of the longevity of the job that paid him that.
Most of the people I know with secure jobs of 2.5m a month in Nigeria have their wives and kids in Canada and they're funding them from here.
Make una take am easy!

cococandy:


Sadly teachers here aren’t paid as well as they should be. But things might change soon because we are strongly advocating for that. Who knows?
However it’s still a decent and livable wage. I don’t know if she will be required to go through additional schooling though. Most likely

NemoDatQuod:
It's always good to think things through and follow the data when we make analysis.

How much is N2m in Canadian dollars? That is CAD$6,211 a month. How much is the average cost of a three bed apartment say in Ontario where they guy's family lives? CAD$4,400. How much of that N2m is left after rent alone? How will the guy in Nigeria take care of other expenses for his family out in Canada? How will he then begin to pay for a decent accommodation in Nigeria for himself, let alone take care of his own personal needs including car, electricity, fuel, feeding etc?

A little digging gives perspectives. If the people you know are Nigerian thieves, then that is a different ball game as they can afford to do all of the above using stolen funds that are not their salary. As for me and my friends, we speak about money that is legitimately earned.

My friend didn't have to tell me how much he earned while in Nigeria. I know how much people at his level and position earn where he worked. N36m was actually an understatement so you guys on here won't go crazy.

I know all that most of you guys hear and talk about are how Nigerians are struggling here in the UK. But you'd be surprised to learn that some of us save far more than that N36m others earn in Nigeria after tax. But that is not the point. I didn't come to this country thinking about the money I would make. I would have stayed back in Nigeria if that were the case and become a Nigerian thief. I came here for peace of mind, a sense of security and most importantly, I did not want to succumb to the pressure to steal. It is the same thing that is driving many young professionals from Nigeria.
Moreover, what can N24m a year actually get you in Nigeria if you are one of those determined to live a good life? How much is a duplex in say Lekki, right? How much is the add on fees for that duplex each year? How much is the nice type of car you'd want to drive to impress? How much is the school fees of your kids, as I expect they'd be in private schools? When you add just these few things up, you'd find that a guy who earns N24m in Nigeria is actually struggling and will find living abroad a better option. Unless he is the type of frugal guy who will even be frugal against himself and his family.

Add Financial Analyst/ Accountants/ investment bankers to that list.
A close acquaintance who worked for Deloitte Nigeria as a senior experienced associate relocated to Ireland, and got a job at KPMG as an Assistant Manager with a very decent pay. You don't want to convert that to naira, even after tax deductions.

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.

Adexchelsea19:
I know of a lady that works in access bank, she was one of their big staff, she earns 400-500k monthly. She left the job to uk for masters. She and her husband

remi1444:
Yes there was no option for parole. So what are the requirements for convicted to be released?

Omihanifa:


Don’t mind them. Another Twitter fairytale who go abandon 24million naira per year salary and travel to UK to go start afresh? When it not as if such a person is under a spell.

With 24million naira per year you can rub shoulders with a politician in Nigeria nah

RaptorX:
All this you posted while partly true is not a true representation of life in America, but continue with the hype meant for people who have never been there. Free health care and unlimited opportunities indeed.

baby124:

An expensive state, living in the trenches, rent is 2k per month for 1bedroom. I am currently in the US on travel. In good areas you are paying 3k-4K per month for one bedroom. Let’s not factor in costs of living. Healthcare alone you pay for, retirement you also pay for. Childcare you pay a lot for. Let’s be realistic and not keep telling people the life is luxurious. Most Americans after bills barely save. If you are now the type that wants a luxurious life, you will struggle.

how much do you think kidney dialysis is in america? we need to know what is causing all these kidney problems?
