Not a bank manager as the topic states.
What is the average salary for a bank manager that you know, state it

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?

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

A toilet cleaner can live in a good neighbourhood if they like abroad.

A bank manager in Nigeria cannot afford a house in Ikoyi or Banana Island

What a caregiver earn here in UK monthly, is Nigeria bank manager 3 months salary.

In otherwords, what a caregiver earn weekly, is what a bank manager in Nigeria earn monthly.
But that doesn't mean the caregivers has the work experience of a banker

When we say a toilet cleaner in USA, Canada, UK, Australia is better than the manger of zenith bank, what we mean is that the toilet cleaner will never suffer what you are currently suffering in Nigeria.

Example include:

A. A toilet cleaner will never queue for fuel.
B. A toilet cleaner is less likely to be kidnapped in those countries
C. A toilet cleaner has 24/7 electricity.
D. A toilet cleaner has access to excellent Medicare.
E. A toilet cleaner is less likely exposed to armed robbers
F. A toilet cleaner eats better food and fruits than your bank manager.
G A toilet cleaner has access to good amenities
H. A toilet cleaner may have his children schooling for free in primary and high school
I. A toilet cleaner has a longer live expectancy than your bank manager in Nigeria.
And what are the things a bank manager has in Nigeria that a toilet cleaner doesn't have abroad?

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 behaviour anywhere on the internet before except on Nigerian forums.
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.

It’s too late bro. Japa is now out of the reach of average Nigerians, just exclusive to the wealthy now. £ is 2,150+ today
it's a sad situation my brother. If someone had told me 10years ago that Nugeria will be like this, I will tell the person to go kiss a toilet seat


But it's happening now, this clearly shows that the country can never get better.

But a determined person will still look for an escape route out of this Country.

This mentality has been k!lling Nigeria. Regardless of the capacity in which one works, they are called to serve. However, the reverse is often the case. The mindset of not serving others leads to our leaders’ misconduct. Instead of serving the people, it is the people who end up serving them, which has turned the country upside down

That's not true. I know toilet cleaners today that own cars. The job is called JANITOR here and I personally know some that own cars..nice cars for that matter.

This might differ according to city and state though. Have a good day.



You don't own any land in Nigeria. Plenty Nigerian immigrants in Anglo-Western countries own multiple homes.

Most people in Nigeria are poor. You're among the few lucky ones and MANY people like you continue to flee Nigeria.

Anyway I've over discussed this issue. Nigeria is the Poverty Capital of the World. Sorry!!!

Good Luck to Nigeria
When you are not a briton, how can you own a land in England?

The citizen cards they giving you now can be revoked later. They just need one hardliner like Trump to assume power...

What is the average salary for a bank manager that you know, state it
When I was in Nigeria, I think the manager at my parents' bank's branch earned more than a million or 1.5M naira per month. Unfortunately, I don't have exact figures. I will ask a friend. But assessing the friend who works in one of the top banks in the country, as at 2019, she participated in the bank management trainee programme where she earned 250K+ per month. Stanbic was even paying graduate trainees 350K then (rumoured to be the highest then amongst all banks). So, now, a bank manager shouldn't earn less than 2 million naira per month, I strongly believe.

P.S. Please don't mention the naira to the pounds or dollar as those currencies aren't spent in Nigeria. Bank managers earn in naira and spend in naira.

peple who clean toilets are fairly new to the country and I hope no COS in cleaning toilets.
Once them persons are settled they might do a course in industrial cleaning and might take it up to the highest level ie VIOLA

The problem with us is, we are fond of passing the bulk of the blame to others. What have you done to make Nigeria a better place?
What have I done to make Nigeria heaven on earth?
We will discover that, nothing has been done. Just the way you and I are indifferent about Nigeria progress the same way our leaders are showing indifferent attitude toward Nigeria.
The aforementioned countries are good because the people, I mean the citizens are good.
Good citizens will always produce good leaders. In the other hand, bad citizens will produce bad leaders. Good citizens don't produce bad leaders while bad citizens don't produce good leaders. We are our leaders. Even if Tinubu is not there, whosoever that's in charge won't change anything because we are bad

A toilet cleaner is being told to go back to his country by the country’s citizens who might end up lynching him or burning his properties.

A bank manager in Nigeria does not live in debt.
Whatever he owns, he OWNS completely.

In Nigeria, a bank manager does not live in fear of debt.
And he doesn't have to work multiple jobs to keep up.

A bank manager doesn't need to go queue for fuel, he's paid enough to employ a driver who does that on his behalf just like the employer of the toilet cleaner you're praising.

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.

Unlikely to own a car in the first place.



A toilet cleaner won't be kidnapped in Nigeria either. Use your brain.



Anyone in Nigeria with a cheap generator can have 24/7 electricity.



Not necessarily. There are very long waiting lists for operations and surgery in the UK's NHS for example. You have to wait YEARS for an operation in some cases. Many perish before their turn. Only the rich who can afford the monstrously expensive private hospitals can be guaranteed of ''excellent medicare''. SAME AS IN NIGERIA.



A toilet cleaner is more likely to be shot in America or stabbed in the UK, or get his house burgled, than meet any armed robbers in Nigeria.



WRONG. Toilet cleaners in the west are among the underclass who tend to eat cheap, processed foods like frozen pizza, frozen chips, and eat junk food. A Nigerian bank manger eats fresh, highly nutritious, natural, organic foods.



Not necessarily. Some of them live in terrible places a Nigerian bank manager could never live.



Free education is not new to Nigeria. How old are you?



What studies have you conducted to make that claim?

You can't just come online and make outrageous claims from your big, loud IPOB terrorist OUTCAST lips.

Op is obviously a depraved African with extra colomentality on steroids.

You do not realize the quality of life and culture a man that has risen to be a bank manager has, but long for the grass is greener on the other side.

Another deranged African also said life is better lost in the sea and desert, to slave traders and organ donors or sellers than being shipped into slavery on sugarcane plantations. True because you pay through your nose selling all you have to buy tickets and visa to "achieve" the same sugarcane plantations beds overseas.

It shows you what we had been reduced to when they handed us Bibble and Koran in exchange for gold and slaves.

Of course good infrastructure anywhere makes life easier for poor or working class but that is not the definition of civilized life which is simply ability to live peacefully with one another. Village life where you get enough to eat and drink is what rich people are longing for in rich countries

For the information of Op, life is rougher for lower class worker in America than African middle class. Indeed, their life expectancy is lower as the infant mortality is higher.

Their chances in correctional facilities and being shot are higher than in African countries. So called "good" education for your children is how to deride your culture and deprive you of your children and wives.

Ah, some Africans are irredeemable.
You are not been realistic this man.
