I will not waste my time trying to disabuse your mind from crass ignorance.

Your assertions are fully of sundry illogicalities:Best students go to medical school, according to you.

So the so-called Best students should be above censure.

Nigerian engineers are falling behind in meeting with the needs of manufacturing equipment for Nigerian healthcare system, therefore doctors are at liberty to do as they like.

At least a portion of the road that carried you to work was constructed by Nigerian engineers.

Despite your puny whimperings, I am sure Nigerian engineering has affected/touched several facets of your life today much more than you know or care to admit.

Get off the high horse and you will be better for it.

You guys should come down to earth. It is about time...

But truth is Nigerian Engineers don't do anything, or do they?

We prolly would be living like Neanderthals if not for expats!

I can not continue to respond to someone who is intellectually impaired. Go and bring the most intelligent person in your village, if any exists. You suddenly made A1 in further maths without any form of tutoring. You be real local man with a brain the size of a peanut and you had the guts to post on a thread for doctors. You are really out of your league.

Why are you trying to educate that idiot. If i tell him to give me the formular to calculate the sample size for a cohort study or cross sectional descriptive study, he will go into cardiac arrest. He does not that as specialists, doctors are involved in research for the rest of their lives. That they try to bridge the gap in knowledge and procure solutions by research. That medicine is evidence based and so so much statistics involved. These guys have low mental fortitude. Do not waste time on them. They are not even engineers. I know lots of brilliant engineers. These guys don't cut it. Take care.

Dont be a local man.

The Asians nay Chinese and Indians are ubiquitous.

Even American companies are relocating to Asia because of their cheap labour cost.

You can make a case about a responsible government bringing in regulations to protect local interest but the point is that this problem is not exclusive to Nigeria.

In the same vein, Ngerians are reputed to be the best t educated national group in the US...

your highness, the professions are noble, the people as a nation are useless is the point of mine I was trying to prove. I mean the mere fact that we up at this time bashing while some folks somewhere are researching even makes the point.
on the bright side though, being one nation of useless people under one useless government living in peace and harmony should unite us and not divide.

Doctors should endeavor to leave the very hostile Naija for now and get a real life.

Not absolving Doctors of all the blame though. Back in Naija, I knew Doctors who's main aim was actually to make patients see them as the best, seek their prescription even if its paracetamol, and undermine their colleagues. This jousting is also why Doctors are becoming unpopular before the masses

Who go remain if everyone checks out as you've suggested.
Doctors in diaspora still want trustworthy colleagues they can refer friends and family to, particularly in emergency situations.

You tink say na everybody u fit comot from una village to Obodo Oyinbo??

What about urgent medical help during vacations

What is needed is a sanitisation of the system: govt, ngos, doctors, populace (1ry care prevention) ...... not creating more "Andrews "!!


I've little knowledge of jousting.. I'd think its similar to what is observed in other professions.

Complete bullocks!

You people think it is everybody in Nigeria that is poor. Some of us can pay for quality healthcare, some of us have comprehensive healthcare packages from our work place...but you know what, we'll pass on that.

The news is littered daily with gross incompetence from Nigerian doctors who have either misdiagnosed or applied wrong treatment regimen in patients leading to deaths and all. Thousands of Nigerians loose their lives yearly to doctors gross incompetence.

The Nigerian doctor is an empty nut head who is more interested in the prestige his Dr tittle accords him/her than getting the job done the right way.

You think your president, lawmakers and wealthy Nigerians who go outside the country for proper healthcare are silly? I won't even go near Nigerian doctors for a simple diagnosis... Incompetent lots

The nigerian system of very limited spaces in medical schools ensures that the most intelligent nigerians alone are able to enter government medical schools.

The empty nut heads you described wont be able to enter medical school and even if they did, they will fail out and not graduate cos the competition is tough.

This is the simple reason Nigerian doctors excel outside. Its because they are most times the best Nigeria has to offer. JAMB and the wish of every parent for their children to be doctors has made sure of that.

So the major problem isnt in the "brain" of "Nigerians" but in the system

The average doctor abroad doesnt need to think too hard to know what your diagnosis is.....he just orders a laundry list of tests and solves the puzzle. The Nigerian doctor has to think and is prone to errors the doctors abroad will easily solve with investigations. Its not a brain problem but a systemic problem.

When Nigerian doctors go abroad they wonder if they are wizards cos they make diagnoses that the white people think only investigations can solve. But its not an issue cos the whites have the facilities and we dont.

If you're incompetent, changing your place/location of practice cannot change the fact that you're incompetent.

This confirmed idiot does not know the WHO approved ratio of doctors to patients and the scenario in Nigeria. I am certain he is a half baked engineer with a third class degree. Those with first class like a friend of mine highly appreciate doctors. And amen to your children being mathematicians, Olodo. The best in mathematics in secondary school most times end up reading Medicine example myself who had an A1. You can argue with your 10 thousand naira phone. My dad is an Engineer who was trained abroad and is still working today because idiots like you can not do the highly intellectual consultancy job he does, yet you call yourself an engineer. Like someone else said, you are certainly the type of engineer who climbs pole to disconnect people who are owing electricity bills.


Men! You no lie as per the dudes wey they scatter A1 for maths come go do medicine. The thing dey always surprise me as I wonder why these people no go do Engineering. Well, such is life.
