Less than 8 hours? Now I know that you don't know Jack shit about Nursing. Thanks for revealing your own ignorance.
You are so dumb, I'm in the same America and I have both male and female friends who are nurses, I don't mean caregivers. Who do 40 hours or less.

Most of this men mostly do 12 to 16 hours a day
Now do you calculations.

Thank God it's your fellow reasonable female gender saying this.

The truth is after these evil women leave, the men always pursue greater careers.

Are you talking about Nigeria or the US? Clarify, because you're making no sense.
USA, the extra money they seem to get is from back breaking overtime, some are doing 16 hours shift for 6 days....it is not funny, any nurse working 7.5 hours a day ,39 hrs,a week will be at par with a primary school teacher
Re: Lady Reveals Why "A Lot Of Nigerian Nurses In America Are Single Mums" by TruthDefender(m): 5:20pm On Sep 20, 2024
Nurses make between $22 (LVNs) to $35/40 for BSN Rns in Texas). That;s regular pay. Most professions pay more than these.

I don't know why Nigerians in Nigeria have this obsession that nursing is the highest paying job in America. Its just a regular career, shitty job shitty pay.

There are tons of better paying jobs that other quieter, more polished Nigerians do and do not make noise about it.

The problem is majority of Nigerian nurses in America never made income whilst in Nigeria or very low income. So when they see small money it turns their head and the need to take care of their poor families in Nigeria.

But for a fact the percentage of Nigerian marriages failing in US is smaller than marriages failing in Nigeria. There are hundreds of thousands if not millions of separated/divorced marriages among Nigerians living in Nigeria. But if 20 marriages of Nigerians abroad fail then it makes headline news. Are you expecting 100% marriage success rate because they live in America. ? Every street in Nigeria has a separated/divorced person

I am not changing mouth, you are the one with a fixed thought, you can work an 8hr shift with an hr break which means you worked for 7hrs, for some hospital a full week job is 37 hours, some is 39 hours, some is 35, some might even be 40. You are the one with a fixed mind

For all the good reasons.

Nigerian men have a great reputation for being hardworking, full of rizz and amongst the most educated.

Hope this isn't news to you.
I don't disagree at all.
But, unicef said 1 in every 5 out of school children in this world is a Nigerian.
So if that is the case, can you still say we are amongst the most educated?

Sure. Stop Killing your wife because she didn't want to give up her salary like a 2 year old throwing a tantrum because he was denied sweets grin

Bitter man, I'm not the cause of your frustration.

Whoever earns the most money calls the shots in the relationship, you will never get around this. So deal with it.

If I didn't have a womb or I didn't know how to cook, a man would not respect me. So why do you deserve respect if you're not the breadwinner?

In Nigeria, 95% of our women are single mothers. It's either they're single mothers of living children or single mothers to dead children (abortions). I'm in a good mood today and patriotic, hence I'm saying 95%, but we know the actual figure. If you didn't meet her as a virgin, there's 98% chances that she's a mother to one of the aforementioned categories.
What do I even know sef aside enlightening my fellow men nationwide with the good news
May your soul find the peace it needs.

Texas and Georgia are some of the states with a high black population, especially Nigerian. So, it is not out-of-place. Besides, people need some sense of community in a distant country.


It happens in Nigeria and everywhere else.

P.S. Texas is one of America's richest states. Home of the oil industry isn't flamboyant? shocked huh
Actually the second richest state in terms of GDP
Re: Lady Reveals Why "A Lot Of Nigerian Nurses In America Are Single Mums" by GboyegaD(m): 5:51pm On Sep 20, 2024
There's so much exaggeration here. How would you say 85% to 90% are single mother? Where are you getting such statistics from? What is the sample size?

That said, I will advice our men to also improve themselves while they improve their wives. If you slave for your wife to go through nursing school and you do not improve yourself, you are likely setting yourself up. One thing though, please do not discourage your wife from fulfilling her dreams because you want to suppress her.

One thing though, do these nurses make so much money (even with the overtime)? Is it even healthy to do over time like many of them do?

Well, a lot of men will not disclose to these women that they are barely surviving in the US. When these women gets to the US then their eyes opens up.
The Indians also bring their women over but in most cases, the man is also making good income from IT jobs unlike Nigerian men doing cabbie or even unemployed. At the end of the day, most of these women will lose respect when they start to make way more than their men. Especially when they feel deceived.
No vex, how many Nigerian men dey do the cabbie business sef? Besides are those in it not making their good money? At least, I have one who does it because it works best for his large family (it helps them avoid daycare and before and after school cost).

I think the most important thing is marrying someone who values a home and know it takes two people to build one.

Transportation biz gives money. Just that we are too big to do that.

Here, Arabs are the landlords and they earn a lot.
Ghanaians do that too.


We want traditional wives yet we need the money from her. She can only be one.

True. What I have noticed over the years is that these women start to lose respect for these men when they start to make money and then these men are not making that much. This is especially true when the ladies thought they were coming to the US with a guy that they saw in Nigeria as been very successful.
Another angle is that, these ladies lose more respect for these men when they see other Nigerian men making good money and their own is just getting by.
They like to compare their men to other men.
I'm not saying it's right, just my own observations.
They will say why can't you make money like your mate. I know of a guy that brought a girl from Nigeria, they had twins, she left him simply because his friends were making more money then him and living a higher standard than them.
And this was a long time ago before lottery that brought in so many people .
At the end of the day, a lot of women in Nigeria will like to leave their husband's too but they lack the financial capacity to do so. The US allows them that freedom that's why it seem more rampant here.
That's the bottom line of all these long talk.

If it's only salary, that's better.
They will never help in the house.
They want a traditional wife as well as the money.
As time goes on, the woman is mentally and physically stressed. She make money and give the man to send to his family like it's his money. Yet the family badmouth her. The man will never open up that the money is from the wife.

When I wanted to travel outside the country, everybody was like go and study nursing. They will push and push you. Some work more than 12 hours a shift go home and become a wifey. Cook and wash. Some men can't even load the washing machine.
The worst is the money you give them, they use to have side chick. Some of these wives know and it's a stab in the heart.
The things I see here, gosh, any man that come out to cry, I have no pity at all.
What they do here is shocking and they do it boldly and with pride.


As for those who earn more than their wives, no be naija man again. He willstill behave like one regardless.

No woman want a divorce or a broken home. All the broken homes I have seen and intervened in, 98% is caused by the man.
And guess what, if they are married to non Nigerian, they behave.

And some of these non Nigerians don't even care to make a single Nigerian dish for them, yet they are in it enduring. Why nit replicate it for your naija wife. Is she your slave?

Tired of these stories.
I am not agreeing with the bolded. I understand some men relaxes when their wives start making the money and go into car exportation business which I find irritating. However, I will advice these women not to do over time (many do because that is where their extra money for the flamboyant lifestyle comes from) so that they have enough time for themselves to do some of the chores they need to. This will also help the men involved re-align their thoughts/positions and perhaps, continue with their hard work may be reduce it a bit while also, improving themselves.
