Donfox2:
I find this thread quite interesting. I have decided to attempt a detailed analysis so as to enlighten many who might read and seek to understand facts.

Firstly, more than half those claiming to be "veterinary doctors" around are not. Majority are a product of animal husbandry schools with ONDs and HNDs and other department of animal science graduates with Bsc's. This means that your presumed knowledge of what a vet earns might have been guided by your interactions with impersonators who are doing everything to earn a living and are desperate to recieve anything just to make ends meet. When next you meet a so called Vet, one should be enlightened enough to ask him/her of their licence number to determine if he/she is an impersonator.

Having said that, it is important to look at the Vet with different lenses to answer this question. Firstly, the veterinary doctor who works for the government and the veterinary doctor who works in the industry, which could be the organised private sector or just the private sector.

Vets who work for the Nigerian government or anywhere else in the world are paid the same salaries as Human doctors (usually not less than N200,000 at entry level). They also enter into the civil service at a higher care (same as Doctors) in all parastatals and even in the military and para military and with a special salary package unique to only "doctors". This applies to vets working in state and federal ministry of agriculture as well as those in various veterinary clinics.

In addition, veterinary doctors in the academia who work as lecturers are the highest earning lecturers (even more than human medics in many cases) in any institution where veterinary medicine is studied. An average veterinary medicine professor earns at least twice the salary of any professor from any other department. Even entry level faculty of veterinary medicine lecturers are employed as lecturer 2 or lecturer 1 and not as graduate assistants as in every other college or faculty. Same thing applies to Vets in research institutes and other similar institutions, who in addition to their salaries are paid call duty allowances and other hazard/risk allowances.

In the private sector, an average Veterinarian running a private practice could make anything, depending on his/her ability to network, location and skill. This can get you anything but I'll be shocked and disappointed at a Veterinarian that doesn't rake in at least N150,000 on a very bad month.

The organised private sector ranges from pharmaceuticals to NGOs and other similar institutions and establishments. Veterinarians are not treated as regular graduates but as technical experts and consultants. Here, the salaries might vary and it would be impossible to be specific. To highlight more on some of the other possible areas where you find vets, you can search for my previous write up on "Veterinary Doctors as core health providers" here on naira land or you might choone to read up an article I put up via this link
" https://www.drgbaksthevet.com/2017/04/25/is-veterinary-practice-lucrative-in-nigeria-dr-adah-ogwuche-answers-this-all-important-question/"

Having said all these, it is pertinent to note that the level of enlightenment about animal health isn't yet at the required level in Nigeria, notwithstanding, Nigerians feed on animal and animal by-products daily and this would have been totally impossible without veterinarians. The poultry and livestock sub sector that contributes up to 50% of our protein consumption in Nigeria can only thrive this far because of veterinarians.

It is also important to note that these food animals fall sick and are looked after by vets everyday. While dogs and other pet animals are important, they contribute less than 30% of a vets client base, with poultry, cattle, sheep and goats and horses making up a huge chunk of a Veterinarians source of income.

Finally, I would like to reiterate that majority of the so called "vets" who collect peanuts, live very poor, or suffer indignity are those claiming to be doctors and looking to make their daily bread in anyway possible. They are not different from those who own chemists or patent medicine stores or drug hawkers who call themselves doctors. A veterinary doctor who knows his/her onions earns a decent living, carries his/her head high up and is always a respected and revered member of the society.

Dr. Adah Ogwuche (DVM, MVPH) is a veterinary surgeon and I can be reached via my Facebook page or LinkedIn @ Adah Ogwuche.

thanks for the contribution you just said it all

I think if you're able to setup your clinic in highbrow areas you should be pulling in big moneyThe really rich Nigerians probably have enough money to spare to keep their pets looking good. You could even learn animal grooming too. Otherwise, its a life of poverty. I wouldn't advise it. If ordinary people can't afford health care for themselves then why'd they bother paying huge sums to tale one 'Bingo' to the hospital. They'd probably just eat it instead.

The way people lie with God's name repulses me.

So God left all the men from Sango Ota to Eleme, from Burutu down to Ilejemeje and all over Nigeria then found you a helper in far away Poland?

God did not find you that helper,
Your bloody gold-digging schemes fetched you that mugu.
