Bros, don't waste your time arguing with these people. Nigerians are some of the most ignorant and deluded set of people in the planet. They always like making irrational/hasty comparisons between the standard of living in a developed country and a standard of living a third world country like Nigeria. The west is structured in a way that the middle class can have a COMFORTABLE standard of living while a third world country like Nigeria is structured in such a way that ONLY the rich and upper middle class can prosper.

It is collective money but not collective good to use the same skill giving to you by the same society to improve or help her? Why don't you compare the cost of training and cost of living of the countries they are running to before you start blaming the government of low pay? The last time I cheack, an average doctor earn more than any civil servant, and they are well above middle class. Patients are dying in numbers everyday in our various hospitals due to lack of skilled or adequate doctors but these heartless greedy few don't see their services as important to the society that subsidise their training? To answer your question, other sectors are not so critical to the society or received the same advantage giving to this sector. Government don't spend that much on them compare to medical departments. If you go to university, you will understand this. Anyone can chose or change profession anytime at will but can't be a medical doctor over the night.

Medical sector is very crucial to the society, you don't compare it to other sectors. That is why It never cheap to acquire this certificate anywhere in the world because they know the value attached to it. If Nigeria are to follow the same ethnic practice as it being done abroad, 98% of these doctors will never be one today. How many of them can afford to pay up to $38k or #34m per year as international student in UK and American universities. Even their nationals pays roughly around $9k or 8m per year. You can see why medical training are highly subsidise by government to enable us to have adequate doctors in our hospitals.

The reality is that, an average black man is too individualistic by nature, he lacks foresight, wicked, egocentric and greedy.

I got an offer to egypt as a medical doctor for 6,000$ a month with a year vacation

Nkemsplendid:
The man is right. If you do a bit of research, you will find out he is speaking the truth. The Edward Francis Smalls Teaching Hospital in Banjul is recruiting seriously right now and the pay is actually $4k per month. Several of our colleagues here in Enugu have taken the offer.

Dozis:
My licensed colleague in Canada earns 10,000 CAD monthly, that translates to 5M plus in Nigerian currency.
If you're a healthcare professional in this country, run for your dear life. It's not worth it. Those employed by government are living in penury while those employed in private sectors earn rubbish and work as slaves.

Unperturbedpota:


No, we must force them to think even if it means with beating or abuses.

This is why I don't worry when disasters strike in Nigeria it's just natural selection.
Massive population of the iliterates need to be removed for the educated ones to rise to the fore and change things

gforce5:
Very true. I salute your courage. I have given up trying to educate these people as they have what they call "coconut head". The educational system in this country needs to be overhauled for the country to progress. Too many educated illiterates roaming around.

Stop the lies. Canada doesn’t allow Nigerian trained doctors practice as medical doctors.

Oritna94:


No, that is not true. As long as you pass their licencing exams. You can practice as a doctor.

Another iliterate opening this mouth to talk rubbish. You can't compare prices ike that that except it is 1 dollar to 1 Naira then you can compare prices in the two nations . Nigeria is to expensive to live in for honest people, only scammer thieves and politicians who steal are okay with Nigeria.

But iliterates don't know this hey look at the dollar conversion whic is dumb an stupid

Can you live on N6000 monthly you mumu? No you can't but someone can live one $2000 monthly.

It's jottngeir fault you keep devaluing your currency due to bad leadership policies and no sense 9n governance.

So you can't compare even ordinary Ghana right next to you there Nigeria Ghana with a lower currency 5han Naira is still by far a better country but ou are too uneducated to know this and ca never afford to leave Nigeria in the first place so no need to argue with you 🤣🤣🤣🤣

You got it wrong, if the country wants her health care workers to stay let them make working conditions palatable, it is wickedness and appalling that a consultant earns 1000 dollars per month while his counterpart in Gambia earns 4000 dollars, what is slavery again?
Healthcare job is not a charity work, a workman deserves his wages, sometimes government would even reach agreement with healthcare workers and renege on the agreement, hold our irresponsible leader for mismanaging the resources of the country.
People train people so that they can impact positively to the society and also be able to fend for themselves and not to turn them to slaves. You don't appeal to people's consciousness and at the same time make conditions of service so bad that elsewhere becomes more attractive.

I repeat that the money a healthcare workers was trained with is part of what we all own collectively. While you're comparing what it takes to train abroad, try to also compare the wages and employment rate of those countries because even with that high training cost, they still churn out more healthcare workers than us and are also able to poach our own, what do I mean, living conditions and wages are good enough in those countries so that parents can train their children and they have also made students loans available, you can't just mention the amount without mentioning what is obtainable in those climes.

It is not about the average black man because there are black men in those countries you mentioned and they are not leaving their countries to other places. It is our country where there is rudderless government.

Omenapounds:
May anybody who still went ahead and voted for Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the February 25th presidential election after the past 8years of utter failure of Buharis administration, never experience peace for as long as Tinubu is on that seat. May his generation never forgive him for dragging them with himself into such mess...
So our doctors are now running to smaller African countries just to survive, and some people are still playing the tribalism card? 🥺🥺 You guys think we hate Tinubu but no, we know he doesn't have anything positive to offer Nigeria cus you can't give what you don't have. Tinubus dainted image will haunt him on that seat until he leaves it...

It is well...

You are still saying the same thing over and over again. The question is, what is average cost of obtaining the kind of quality medical training in Gambia that Nigeria doctors received here in Nigeria that made Gambian government to offer such pays? What is the comparative cost of living and earning in Gambia? They are not fools, they know what they are paying for. Besides, if such skill/experience is that cheap to obtain, they would've prefer to train their citizens and pay less(if what they are paying is so far above cost of living).

As regards to "our collective money" you keeps repeating", let me break it down in a lay man understanding, for instance, if government were to subsidise education of each student with 50k, the cost of doing the same for medical students would be 500k each. Government can easily gives the 50k as it was givien to others and allow you to fund your education but they cant, because they knew that 98% of the applicants would not be able to afford it, which may eventually affect quantity of doctors needed in our hospitals. As for the employment opportunities and wages, Nigeria produced too much Doctors on the average, due to the fact that the cost of training are relatively peanut compared to their counterparts abroad. Nigeria too can comfortably pay her consultant $4000 if you are paying the value of your training fees and the masses are also paying the value of health care services. Alot of Nigerians are quick to condemn government but fail to realise that we too have alot to do to fix the system. If you can't appreciate a system that trained you for a peanut because you feel it is our collective money, you don't have moral right to blame our corrupt leaders who might also feel the same and loot (because they spent too to acquire the positions).

Let me cut it short and ask you few questions;

1. If I may ask, why do you think government subsidise medical students training cost with 500k, while others are only entitle to 50k?

2. Why should doctors be paying in dollars, while we spend Naira in Nigeria. Can they spend the naira where they were paying in Dollars?

3. If medical training can be easily funded by everyone in the said developed countries, why do they still need poor trained ones from developing countries?

Note: I am not trying to defend our corrupt leaders, all of us know they are not doing well, my point is that, where is humanity when we keep chasing money. Besides, doctors are not doing badly in Nigeria, it is greed and hunger to live large that made alot of them abandoned their jobs in Nigeria.
