A United States-based Nigerian registered nurse, Joy William, has stirred controversy on social media after claiming that she earns in two hours what a Nigerian doctor makes in a month.
William made the statement in a post shared on X on Monday, February 16, 2026, while reacting to what she described as Nigerian doctors who “look down on nurses.”
In the post, she appeared to criticise what she termed a culture of professional superiority, drawing attention to the disparity in earnings between healthcare workers practising abroad and those in Nigeria.
The remark has since generated mixed reactions online.
Some users supported her position, pointing to better pay structures and improved working conditions for healthcare professionals in the United States and other developed countries.
Others, however, argued that the comparison was misplaced, noting that Nigerian doctors operate within a challenging economic and healthcare environment.
The development has reignited conversations around remuneration, workplace dynamics, and the growing migration of Nigerian healthcare professionals in search of better opportunities overseas.
There has been no official reaction from medical associations as of the time of filing this report.
