Nicki miyansh and the likes

Nigeria doctors still have a long way to go. The medicine they practise here is old school. Btw I don't think any practising doctor in this country earns up to 100,000 usd monthly

pro01:
Dr. ABC Orjiako should be in that list, in the top ten for that matter. He should be worth at least $1b.

Just read about him, Really inspiring. He gave up his profession to follow his dreams. Am just at that cross road. Thanks for mentioning this here.

Ok
