Truth is that it is unpaid in even developed countries. It is a placement.

But if I were a medical doctor, nothing will ever make me practise in Nigeria.

The people wey don too chop, wey you dey hate are the ones supporting the fragile health of your country from breaking down in shambles. If you think say e easy, run am go do medicine.



The quality of healthcare will decline steadily, because, nobody will do slave work for free, and the basic job of taking history and bedside assessment will suffer. Laboratory result collection and specimens submission too will suffer massively. Do you know the huge role NYSC doctors, cover, when you discourage them, with no salary, who will fill that vaccuum?


NO worry, when you get diarrhea, and nurse tell you say make you extract your own blood yourself, na when you go understand as e dey go. You should weep for the nigerian populace. There will be massice depopulatio and brain drain. prett soon.

I see nothing wrong with it.


Maybe it's bcuz u've not been to a teaching hospital before. I've been there nd I know d work of those doctors. Go to neuro department nd see how an officer will work from 6am to 11pm nd resume by 6 am next day.
I've seen a situation that d house officer had to faint for them to give him a 2 day break.
Go to accident nd emergency nd see their work.
Go to physiotherapy department nd see what they go through.
They are been paid btw 120-150k which is even too small for their work.

When u put people that didn't go to school in position that's what u get . How many Fulani can work as an house officer in a teaching hospital down here?

I don't feel sorry for those affected because most of them supported this APC govt because all was going well with them.

Simple, interns do the bulk of the work in teaching hospitals. They do the stuff no one else wants to do. If they are not paid. Well.
The first person who sees rhe the sick person in a hospital is no longer being paid.

He or she is free to do anyhow with your body and say he/she is still a student

Afterall, they will work for free.

They should not do calls either. So if you are sick at night, Gobe!!



Doctor you are threatening people o. Please, Be calming down.

Most of the learner health care practitioners after the FG would have spent so much to train them would run away to greener pastures. The FG should consider paying allowance to engineering and computer/infotech graduate for internship that's what the country needs now. How many peple go to the hospital? Most people these days just can not afford or result to self medication and trado.

The foolish masses that are in support of this wont understand that THIS VERY ACT IS DIRECTED AT THEM..the ppl making these laws can afford to send their families overseas for medical treatment. At this stage. Medical student would be preparing to write foreign exams while they strive to move to the next class so once they finish. They wont bother spending one week in THIS SHITHOLE CALLED NIGERIA. neighbouring countries would capitalize on this development to improve their own health system by allowing these young medical grads the opportunity to do a paid internship and when they are done they can still go to UK and say dey have done an internship.and to HELL with NYSC...cos it's even during NYSC they squander the money saved during HOUSE JOB COS the money drastically reduces except they are into other side hustle. The main intention here is to make sure they live in PERPETUAL PENURY so dey cant make their dreams of going abroad to get better exposure. If the senior ones in the Medical profession keep quiet at this stage then those odd work and midnight calls left for the medical house officer they should be ready to do it and when they get tired they would do the needful. GUESS THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC TAUGHT THIS PPL NOTHING. A FOOL AT FORTY IS A FOOL FOREVER.

this is one of the reasons this action was taken....

There were reports of interns finishing their one year internship with one organization and instead of collecting their permanent licenses, they hold onto their temporary licenses and apply to another organization as fresh intakes. They get appointment letters, obviously after greasing some official's palms and they get paid again for another year.

So, there were cases of people staying as interns for many years and getting paid without the govt's knowledge.
You only experience this before of lack of database

well then.
It seems that going to medical school is no longer worth the risk..

Everybody will now want to be an engineer.

Hopefully this means they will no longer be used as houseboys and girls in teaching hospitals.

They will no longer do calls especially those 96hr straight calls.

This is all shades of bleeped up.

Dear prospsective jambites. Medicine is no longer worth its high cutoff mark. Go and do engineering and IT.

Housemanship is not studentship. How dumb are these elites?


Its really pathetic and irksome the kind of animals making decisions for this nation. How can. It doesn't make sense. It's like scrapping NYSC allowance because corpers are 'learning'. The anger in me now makes me just wanna cry. God knows if my finger touches the worthless dungs that petitioned and signed this barbarism, they'll all turn to dust.

If this is true then it is a very stupid move. These are the young set of medical field professionals that you should encourage so they do not run out of this country. So many countries will gladly welcome them and pay. Nigeria my country una weldone

This is what you get when you have a system where you have professional rivalry. Everyone was fighting for their professional group and sabotaging each other. Incidentally, the current HOS was once an intern who herself must have gotten paid during her internship but obviously must have lost her voice because of the embarrassing level of rivalry in the health sector. I remember our days then, we worked together but not now anymore. I pity those who will not have places for locum to earn extra with the allowance.

@Dr FunmisticGlow I'm about to retake jamb this year applying to medicine, though I'm a part 3 student in one federal school in the southwest... some folks of mine(even med student) discouraged from pursuing medicine considering the state of Nigeria's health system...I have a deep interest in tech(coding),they say I should pursue that instead

Let's say I was your younger brother,what advice would you give me?

Although Nigeria is among the less than 2% countries of the world that pays for medical housemanship....but then..it should have been a form of encouragement for these young scientists..knowing the hardship n workload they endure daily... It's a wrong turn.

Whats further saddening is this being implemented in the tenure (head of service) of a dental surgeon .....could this be a personal vendetta in action?? Is she pained she didn't become a medical doctor

I am speaking without bias as an engineer, one of the comfort medical students have is that sure 1year salary from internship. This is a sad development that must be reversed....really sad.

What a ridiculous thing to think and say How many exactly are these so called "reports"

Why would anyone do this? Don't they have ambition to step up?
Why would they "grease palms" as you say to stay stagnant?
Are there no "ghost" workers in other agences ?

Even if this were true ? How logical is this "solution"

Resident doctors that are in a bizarre case of injustice instituted by the late Prof. Olikoye Ransome-Kuti, being paid even more than full fledge Health care professionals in the hospital system. The injustice will end up consuming everyone. After the interns, the Resident Doctors are next. The payment for residency training is as good as part of their professional training too.
