A Nigerian woman working as a band five registered nurse in the UK has disclosed her salary per calendar month.
The woman, Wemimo posted a video on TikTok to educate husbands who are married to UK registered nurses and who may think their wives are earning much money.
Wemimo said her salary in a month as a band five nurse in the UK is £2,767 (N5.3 million).
However, after payment of taxes and other deductions that come from her salary, Wemimo said she takes home £1973 (N3.8 million).
She said the salary is not enough to take care of a family in the UK, especially if there are children in the family.
She wrote:
“It’s high time men in the diaspora whose wives are Nurses step up and start helping in the family. I don’t think I have seen any family surviving on one income in the UK.”
