Is true that Sheik Isa Ali Pantami left a better pay in Saudi Arabia to Nigeria (a professor in Saudi Arabia collects up to 25,000SR monthly).

Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala also left her job in the world bank with a pay package worth more than $351,740 (net) yearly in 2008 to accept ministerial appointment in Nigeria

Prof Usman Yusuf, the embattled NHIS Boss moved to Nigeria from Saint Jude Children Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, as professor in the Division of Stem Cell Transplantation with annual net worth of over $200,000.

Olusegun Olutoyin Aganga equally left his role as Managing Director with Goldman Sachs in London in 2013 with annual net worth of over 300,000 pounds.

Magnus Lekara Kpakol also left as a professor of economics at the University of Dallas, USA then to Nigeria

There are many of them, what is opened for debate are those undisclosed and behind the scene benefits believed to be attached to these offices in Nigeria ��

The topic was very patriotic until I saw your examples.

Serving Nigeria is not from the top. Nigerian doctors, nurses, engineers, teachers etc have left high paying jobs for much less at home. God bless them but not the ones you noted.

If all of them waited until they get ministerial or high positions, Africans will still be begging for political Independence.

Those you noted could not even get us Economic Independence.

Dr Ibe Kachikwu left his job as an ExxonMobil VP.
Rowland Ewubare left his Wall Stree/VC job... Why are these folks insulting us? Does Saudi pay a university lecturer better than US ExxonMobil?

is it for free? I heard one of them collected salary in dollars and even rejected pay cut during economic downturn.
they came to rule not to serve, because being a minister in Nigeria is juicier than anything else: cool money in the pocket.
the real people who are serving Nigeria are but not limited to the patriotic soldiers in the hostile areas battling the enemies of state.

Lol, official salary only. The bribes and gifts alone they receive as ministers monthly in Nigeria is more than their foreign annual salary. Contract inflation and kickbacks hasn't been added o.

I think bloggers should as a matter of fact try in in improving their English. The headline should read "Nigerians who left their high paying jobs".

At times the choice of English by bloggers makes an interesting topic difficult to read through.

Serve which country?



They know that they can't loot in foreign countries, so looting in Nigeria is primarily easy, so they resigned to come and steal in Nigeria as government officials.....
