“Shame Catch Me”: Level 9 Federal Nurse Discloses Monthly Salary, Sparks Reactions
Level 9 Federal Nurse Discloses ₦270,000 Monthly Salary, Sparks Reactions Online
A Nigerian nurse has sparked a conversation on social media after disclosing how much she earns from her job with the federal government.
The nurse, who identified herself as @NwakuduJessoca on X, formerly known as Twitter, said she currently receives about ₦270,000 as her monthly salary.
According to her post, she has earned the same amount for the past two years since beginning her nursing career.
The salary disclosure quickly attracted attention, with the nurse expressing frustration over what she considers inadequate pay for the work and responsibilities that come with being a healthcare professional.
She also suggested that people often have a different perception of how much nurses earn, saying that the reality of her monthly income has left her embarrassed.
Her comments have since generated a wider discussion about the salaries, working conditions and welfare of Nigerian healthcare workers.
Several users who reacted to the post criticised the government over what they described as poor remuneration for workers, particularly professionals in the health sector.
Others advised the nurse to consider seeking opportunities outside Nigeria, arguing that nurses in some foreign countries have access to better salaries and working conditions.
The discussion has also highlighted the growing concerns among young Nigerian professionals about career progression, rising living costs and the ability of their salaries to meet their everyday needs.
While social media reactions have continued to pour in, the nurse's salary disclosure has opened another conversation about the challenges facing workers in Nigeria and the need for improved remuneration and welfare.
Her experience also reflects a broader debate among Nigerian professionals about whether staying in the country offers enough financial and career opportunities compared with seeking employment abroad.
