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 *: The government should implement policies to workers and hold companies able for their treatment of employees.

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

Ok

But same America has not moved past race and ethnicity. They were grouping voter by race ans gender

You're right

You forgot to mention that here in Nigeria

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

With poor payment

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.

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.

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.

Nigeria's 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 on the verge of dieing from brutal governmental decisions.

Comparing America to Nigeria in all ramifications is like trekking from Lagos to Maiduguri!

Gun violence is more here. Many are undocumented! The amount of gun violence that bandits, herdsmen, unknown gun men etc unleash on Nigerians is terrible!

Mental health issues in Nigeria is enormous, but unfortunately very few are diagnosed owing to the fact that we don't consider it as a sickness. Many are taken to religious homes and herbalists. In Nigeria, very many people are mad, (without even knowing) only that very few are roaming!

The only thing i would missed about Nigeria will be Garri and soup..i can't do without swallow in a week 🤣

You'll soon see some lots point out antisocial vices in US to counter you

Just thinking of a wholistic solution to Nigeria's problem is like a waste of time.
Lack of political will, unimaginable proportion of corruption, illiteracy an low IQ of many brainwashed Nigerians, Stockholm syndrome and unbelievable greed will never bring Nigerian institutions and systems close to that of d U. S. A.
It will take a miracle of unprecedented proportions to deliver us. Our closest shot was Yardua until he died.

Reason people want to do anything to get there. When you visit, unless you love Nigeria, you will not want to come back. To fight depression, find an African Church like RCCG, CAC, you will have enough friends, as long as you don't mind what they say behind your back. To minimise gun violence, dont drive near latinos.

If the benefits like medical insurance, life insurance, and retirement plans are the only things you noticed, then there is slight different between Nigeria and America because many companies offer the same packages in Nigeria, save for small companies.

The scope and extent may vary though.

How do you expect the black folk to their culture when they were subjected to slavery and segregation for centuries?

People like you always forget how many years it took, how many atrocities, protests and fighting the USA did to get to it's current state, how things like good luck, good geography etc. played a key role in shaping USA.

Your complaining about Dangote being cruel to their workers - go and read about Robber Barrons

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robber_baron_(industrialist)

Your post didn't give any new insight, just the same usual predictable whitewashing.

We have to know our strengths and weaknesses before we can undertake a proper building of Nigeria, but you can't properly analyze your strengths if your living in a fantasy.

In Nigeria, someone like Manabbqgrills that is almost 50 years old still labels himself as a youth and engages in zombie work for evil politicians. Such never happens in USA

No lies..

It is quite shameful that in Nigeria, the leaders are intentionally suffering the masses with no hope in sight...

You will soon be deported for over hype country

Your number 1 solution is just a statement not a solution. It says nothing at all

Are you saying we don’t have all that in Nigerian company’s?

Or we also don’t have company’s in US that lack all of the above?

I guess you sharing your own “PERSONAL” travails which is not generic to all cos I don’t see why the list should be freaking you like it doesn’t exist in Nigeria.

good


tell them you have a Web designer that is a massive Trump er in Nigeria...

OK

You need your local economy to grow to be able to offer the same level of employment. Instead our leaders and elite cannibalised our nation's capacity to feed their own ends with no thought for the chain effects down the line.

9ja for life
