A TikTok video showing a Nigerian nurse working overseas and displaying a monthly salary of nearly N1.5 million after tax deductions has shocked social media platforms.
The quickly going viral video has sparked a passionate online debate over pay inequities in the healthcare industry.
The nurse exultantly revealed her large earnings in the video, which total almost N2 million before taxes.
