I left the U.S. to find peace, money is not everything — Nurse quits her job abroad, returns home

After revealing the reasons for her decision to quit her job and return to Nigeria, Judith Okoli, a Nigerian lady who was formerly employed as a nurse in the United States, went viral.

In her heartfelt admission, Judith revealed that she was consistently unhappy even though she made a good living in the United States. She claimed that the job was exhausting; she was humiliated, overworked, hardly got any sleep, and felt totally cut off from the outside world.

Judith talked candidly about the toll it took on her mental health, claiming that she worked nonstop, was constantly restless, and lacked true peace of mind.

She compared life in Nigeria to life in the United States and noted that although people in Nigeria may make less money, many of them are nevertheless able to have very happy lives.

She said: “Everyone is asking me, ‘Why did you leave America? Are you okay? You want to suffer in Nigeria?

“But I hope you guys know that money is not everything — at least, to some people. At least, to me,”

“Someone can make ₦100 but be miserable — insulted at work, restless, disconnected from life. Then another person makes just ₦50, but they are happy, they spend quality time with their family, they sleep well, they enjoy peace of mind. For me, it’s about quality of life,”

“Look at what the Western world is doing to us. Families are scattered. One child is in Germany, another in Canada, another in Dubai. Six siblings haven’t seen each other in three years — all in the name of seeking a better life, but forgetting about the quality of life,” she added
