Madam abi na Oga please stop lying. This is 2017. Even someone living in the village who haven't even visited Lagos but have an internet connection can easily expose you. The most you can make working as an immigrant Registered Nurse is just above $70,000 annually and that is after over 25 yrs of service. It is 100% certain you are still in your entry level. If you even make half of the money you quoted you won't write it here. Below friends is a link where you can check every single salary of a worker in the United States and please note that most times the money quoted is for those with very good quality education and not the cut and nail school must Nigerians go to, like community college that issue associate degree. This very link is a direct click to what a Registered Nurse earns. You can type in any profession and you will get the accurate pay scale

Nigeria ain't shii. Even medical doctors with years of experience are fed up and quitting. Fukk y'all saying otherwise on here

You do realise China’s debt has been growing rapidly over this century and is now over 220% of GDP?

How do you think they funded all the construction and infrastructure spending to move people from the rural to urban cities?

At the moment the Chinese economy is still addicted to debt and they are trying hard to transition to a consumer driver economy like the U.S.

Besides i’m not sure why you are all arguing on this thread, there will be people Nigeria will work for, some China will work for, some US will work for. Live and let live and stop all this petty arguing.

Beautyaddy:


China's population is triple or more the size of both countries(US and UK) and goods are cheaper sold in China with higher purchasing power.

Hopefully when the US and UK stops interfering in other countries affairs and stop being the police of the world and focus on bringing back all those American companies back to the US and focus on growing it's economy all those debt to China hopefully will be reduced.

Stress? I love it..I wish I had the money to sponsor you. Soon you will know America is the capital of depression. The stress in Lagos is child's play compare to what you will be witnessing soon.

Hungry and angry Nigerians everywhere

actually the Chinese debt is owned by China itself

You finally met your match today. You are quoting California with many of her cities ranked as the most expensive place to live in. How much does it cost to buy or rent a three bedroom in California compare to other places in the United States? Mrs. America you don't earn $95,000 annually so don't even stress it. For a detailed study of salary in the United States please check the link below.

As a Nigerian in America, I've been reading all the respective comments on this thread and it's been quite entertaining. I'll like to add the following comments to the thread. Not every Nigerian is hustling in America; if you come here and go to school, you are bound to succeed. Education accelerates your earning potential. The key difference between Nigeria and the USA is how we treat one another and how are respective employers treat us. Decency is word, that is absent from our dictionary in Nigeria. Companies treat their employees with disdain and employees treat their employers with disdain. Don't get me wrong, it's not perfect in America, but there is a strong ethical culture (it does not work all the time, it works very well at least 90% ~ 95%) of the time.

I was recruited from business school by a Fortune 100 company, before graduating (6 months before). As part of the interview process I met with the CEO/Chairman of that company for an hour, this is a company with over $40 billion dollars in annual revenue. I was accepted to the company's executive training program, which until last year I was the only black man in that program. I am one of the Senior executives in one of our $1 billion divisions and the only black man and most senior minority. I don't come from a wealthy family in Nigeria, to the contrary I was able to take advantage of the opportunities before me.

Today I manage a team of people with MBA's from some of the best business schools in the world. This past month, I promoted a young man on my team who is barely 27. Five years out of the University he is easily making over $100K per annum and this does not include his annual bonus. Can this happen in Nigeria? He came to me earlier this year and said, Sir I would like to pursue my MBA and it costs $80K, can the company sponsor me? I said absolutely, I will pay for your MBA from my departments budget, because I know that we are investing in him. This is the way great companies in America operate. I recently hired an entry level analyst, I tried very hard to look for a minority to hire, but did not get any resumes. The entry level job, fresh out of the university is $60K per annum, no Nigerian makes this straight out of the university.

The arguments we are having here don't make any sense, because we are not comparing apples to apples. Nigeria has potential, but it not yet the USA. To end, let's not talk about salaries, let's talk about bonuses where people are paid annual bonuses exceeding $200K per annum in addition to their salaries. We need to elevate our discuss and say how can our country Nigeria do better. This is my personal experience and I hope it encourages someone out there.

thebosstrevor:
the way transparentcalifornia.com works is that it shows you salary per year from the highest to the lowest,the highest earners are in the peak of their careers,so most are old people with lot of experience and advanced qualifications.

it is a similar system every where in the world,the higher you grow in age and the more experience you get the more your salary increases

the most lucrative sectors for high income if young is in investment banking on wall street and young,topnotch programmers who graduated from an elite school like mit or stanford.

There are 0.001% of nigerians working in investment banking on wall street and a programmer on SV.these positions target most whites and asians.

Funny enough,there are lot of Nigerians on transparentcalifornia.com salaries that are not up to par or similar with a civil servant per annul pay in naija,those Nigerians would have been better off in Naija.

Also,most immigrant Nigerians study in a community college or have a 2 year degree so they get low salary or live in a low income school meaning bad education for their children and less opportunity.

the people that enjoy the system with student loans and most times they study hard are the second generation(immigrant children) those one if they study hard or get good grade in college are always given full or partial scholarship to ivy league school or a top tier school.and these people among Nigerians immigrant are few.

mr man they actually care about age,sometimes the US embassy deny people visa because of age and some universities wont admit if you are a matured student

Beautyaddy:



Lol!!...You know some people need to maintain delusional denial in their thought process in order to maintain sanity or else they might end up either committing suicide or causing someone else harm out of uncontrolled frustration.


Even Pres. Buhari gave up on the medical system in Nigeria and resulted into seeking with just ordinary ear infection treatment in UK.

And that is what all those so-called millionaires in Nigeria are doing by going to the States or UK to maintain their health and spending million and millions of naira to receive ordinary check-up treatments. And yet they wont spend that same money to maintain the worn out forgotten infrastructures and medical equipments in their own country. Shameless set of people.
