Since moving to America in 2023, I've been impressed by the country's infrastructure, including steady electricity, good roads, clean water, and gas etc. However, I've also noticed some flaws, such as gun violence and mental health issues.

One thing that struck me is that many Americans seem to have forgotten their history and culture especially the black folks. Additionally, there's a tendency to complain excessively about every issues.

Despite these issues, I've been impressed by the job market. Many companies, such as Amazon, UPS, Walmart, McDonald's, and Costco etc , offer well-paying jobs with benefits, even for those without certifications or experience. These jobs often come with benefits like medical insurance, life insurance, and retirement plans.

In contrast, I've noticed that many Nigerian companies, such as Dangote Industries, Jumia, Chicken Republic and other big companies, don't seem to offer the same level of employment opportunities or benefits. Which are in same category as the companies mentioned above in America. Many workers in Nigeria earn low wages and are mistreated by management, even when these companies earn billions of naira annually.

It's time for us to ask important questions and seek solutions. We need to move beyond tribalism and religion and focus on creating a more equitable society.

*Solutions:*
1. *Increased employment opportunities*: Nigerian companies should strive to create more jobs and offer better benefits.
2. *Vocational training*: Companies can provide training programs to help employees develop new skills.
3. *Improved working conditions*: Employers must treat their workers with dignity and respect, providing safe and healthy working conditions.
4. *Government support*: The government should implement policies to support workers and hold companies accountable for their treatment of employees.

Let's work together to create a better future for Nigeria. What your take

Proudlyngwa:


America is to the world, what Lagos is to West Africa.

No room for comparison
No need for comparison

The world came together to build America over time. Then Europe was a far better place.

Those companies you talked about have decades of stability compared to Nigerian companies.

The company I work for also gives me HMO, insurance and some other benefits, some companies in other African countries will wish for.
Abuse of power is a mindset thing in Nigeria due to our worship culture.
A lot of staff in the US also talk about work place toxicity.
As for vocational training, some companies in Nigeria take graduate trainies and a lot of organisations champion vocational training.

All fingers are not equal, we are not the biggest but we are not certainly the smallest.

So thanks for the inaccurate unnecessary comparison, we will get there over time.

babzlim:
there are lots I mean alot of companies I mean big companies here in Nigeria that are still paying below minimum wage, Your HMO can only cover Malaria and headache, no single insurance, very poor working environment, the moment they hear that the foreigners who owns the company are coming, my brother come and see eye service, they start treating every worker most expecially the Agency worker like lord.

the Annoying thing is the agency's who are suppose to look into all this will come and collect bribe then look away while the citizens suffer till death while the Ogas at the top keeps cashing out on the Agency workers pay.

Nigerians are evil and demonic to themselves.

I wish we have people who can do underground investigations on this.

geoworldedu:
99% of Nigerian companies do not offer HMO, insurance, give pension, etc. Therefore the comparison is accurate and valid.

Olachase:
You forgot to mention that here in Nigeria

We the youth working under FMCG work 7am - 7pm

With poor payment

Hemanwel:
With regard to the solutions you proffered in 3 & 4, that's where the Nigeria Labor Congress (NLC) comes in. Unfortunately for Nigerians, we don't have an effective labor union. Nigerian companies know this; and that's the reason they've ditched the labor law.

The current leadership of the NLC is a joke, led by a Joe! They are only after enriching themselves and their cronies.

I currently work in an Indian company where our marketers are being paid below the minimum wage as salary. With:
- no offer letter
- no incentive
- no HMO
- no insurance
- no nothing.

Yet, we say we have a labor union.

You can start the process by coming back to start your own company aka business....you can start small...employ like 5 staffs and pay them well.....give them medical insurance, pension and housing....from there you can then start a campaign to create more good paying jobs in Nigeria using yourself and your company as an example to inspire others.


What do you think?

Elusive001:
Bros leave talk. Everything lies in the hands of the FG. When we have good governance, we will see the riple effects. For now, let's enjoy the criminals.

America is the arguably the most developed country in the world.

You can't be comparing Nigeria to US at this point at all. Currently, Nigeria has dropped to about the 4th or 5th GDP rate in Africa despite it's population, thanks to Naira devaluation.

Nigerian per-capital income is amongst the lowest even amongst African nations currently. Poor currency, high borrowing rate with hyper inflation.

If it was Nigeria under Obasanjo or GEJ, we could probably try to compare it to other aspiring nations.

The factors mentioned above as concerning Nigeria makes it difficult for any organisation to dispense good welfare and remuneration. Coz most of them are at the verge of dieing from brutal governmental decisions.

The purchasing power of Americans is not the same with that of Nigerians.


American government spend fortune to save small scale business and companies from shutting down...they give them bail out funds, they did it after covid-19 to help those small companies and small scale businesses not to shutdown because of the employment they provide....they give them easy access to soft loans at very low interest rates that help these small companies to grow to become big corporations you hear about.

What do Nigerian government do to help small companies survive and grow bigger to employ more Nigerians? Nothing. Instead wicked, senseless failed leaders like Tinubu is after taxing businesses and companies to poverty...he is after increasing tax....interest rate is high....no bail out fund for small companies....instead your government device every means to milk business owners till they shutdown out of frustration......if its not LGA levy, its state tax and federal tax and other undocumented levies....if you know what your employer is going through to stay in business, you will cry.


I am a small company owner...I know what I have passed through to keep the business going.....even some months we don't make profit, I still manage to pay salaries to keep employees going......Jumia have never made a single profit ever since they came into Nigeria but many of you don't know....Nigeria have one of the most difficult business terrain due to low purchasing power of Nigerians.


Getting patronage without discounting your product price or service delivery cost in Nigeria to the barest minimum is like world war.....you must reduce your product price to the barest minimum almost to the cost price before Nigerians can buy because most Nigerians are poor and broke.....they only buy what they need to survive unlike Americans that shop for fun.




If you see anybody that employ people in Nigeria and pay them salary every month, respect that person because its not easy...Nigeria is a dangerous country when it comes to doing business....the competition is tough.....the purchasing power of Nigerians is poor....all thanks to APC evil government
