If you graduated from an accredited university you degree is recognised in order to take the qualifying examinations recommended to practice in the European country of your choice
Note: The fact that you have years of experience or none at all guarantees you no job
There is currently a backlog of overseas doctors in european countries like the UK (>3000).......including Nigerian DOCTORS.........
If at all......America will be my advise to you as it has a more organised medical recruitment system. Dont know much about Ireland....Heard Australia also has potential.....
Most doctors in the UK are heading back home dear.....
Majority are only doing Locum jobs which does not count towards training
Maybe in the next 3 years things may get better but right now the future seems bleak for overseas doctors
So DONT WAIST PRECIOUS NAIRA SEATING THE UK PLAB EXAMINATION.....it will be more like a donation to GMC if nothing at all
Glad to be of help

Same opinion i have...try the USMLE, that is a surer but not absolute option...its a competitive world and the survival of the very fittest...aside UK (which is a funny set up), and the US i really dont think there are any other european country that will even allow you take there qualifying exams talkless of recruiting you....but its worth the try...canada? try looking up CARMS on google and compare it with www.ecfmg.org
