I am a fresh graduate of medicine in 2019 but I said to myself the life I have watched my seniors live wouldn't be my portion. I love everything about Nigeria but I changed my mind when I knew everything wasn't just there. Our system operates in a way that we just want people to die for nothing. You don't work a Drs ass out and expect him to earn peanut at the end of the day. We all are so much interested in what this Dr who left the system but nobody is ready to ask what made the Dr Japa? I was once working in a tertiary hospital and what I saw there made me lose hope for a better Nigeria. A Dr would be placed on call for 31 days in a month everyday and this is something that is not obtainable anywhere in the world. We just keep quiet and do as if nothing is wrong with such kind of call setting. Hospital management board are not ready to employ enough hands and all we do is to blame the poor doctor who wants to survive as an ordinary citizen. The government says you are entitled to do 64 unit call but the person ends up doing 600 unit call. Nobody will see a means to be comfortable and decide to be patriotic when the sane government that rules you don't patronize the hospital you all are clamouring for doctors to stay behind. Spare me all this crap guys. You will definitely do the same thing if you guys where in the shoes of doctors. Don't come with emotional blackmail that the government used tax payers money because NURSES, LAWYERS, ENGINEERS, TEACHERS, AND POLITICAL SCIENTISTS are also leaving on their large numbers who same tax payers money was used to train them as well and any punishment that is metted on Drs must be across all fields because Drs are not the only people leaving in their large number. Life is all about competition and means of survival. Don't just come here and say trash to we Drs that have left the country because we left for our sanity. If you think Nigeria needs the help of Doctor's to stay it's not too late to pick jamb form and enter medicine alongside with your family members. Don't ever speak bad of any Nigerian doctor who have left the system because the country caused it. We all should take a good look at this call rosters and see how these DOCTORS Dr Akinwale, Dr Balogun Dr Edokwe Dr Garanga Dr Odoka Are currently suffering for nothing doing 600 units call instead of 64 unit call and meaning they are to be a the hospital 247/31 days without being with their family. If this doesn't touch you as a Nigerian may evil befall you and your family. are being suffered for nothing. Taking calls more than they ought not to have taken. They should have done 64 unit call but here they are taking 600units call for some peanut at the end. These Doctors will literally have no life of their own and they will be working under depression and duress. Don't speak ill of any Doctor who leaves the system. 3 Likes

Rolings: I got your point and to an extent you made a point. However, you must realize that Nigerian government has failed woefully. I have a couple friends as medical doctors who were top of their various classes in University who never wanted to leave Nigeria, but years of misrule and poor governance had made them to change their minds. Buhari really took the country to years of retrogression. It's unfortunate. You cannot blame anybody for seeking a safe and secured environment not necessarily higher pay but a decent environment. I don't know how the problems on ground would be fixed, honestly I don't know because of too much complexities. Corruption is Nigeria and Nigeria is corruption. To kill one is to kill the other. That's why I keep wondering why people are shouting Tinubu because this man has no strength to confront the challenges on ground and he's surrounded by people that has profited from our endemic corruption and dead institutions. The best belt for anyone is to run away, or looking for means to run away. |

Rolings: I agree 100% that the government owned medical schools in Nigeria are highly subsidized and cheap. But why single out only medical schools and their graduates? All Governmennt schools in Nigeria are subsidized and cheap. Why don’t we also call out other professionals leaving the country? That being said, the subsidized medical school fees are still there for anyone to tap into. That’s if it’s easy to go through a medical school in Nigeria. |

Rolings: In your little and stupid mind the government subsidized it for them. When they say half education is dangerous, you'd think it's a joke but this is the display and also the reason why a lot of Nigerians don't look beyond their ethnicity when rating governments. Have you tried to find out what is the school fees for a medical student in UK and compare it with their minimum wage? When you do that, do same with Nigerian university fees and compare it with the minimum wage. |

They shouldn't be planning, they should leave. Must of them will end up as nurses and ordinary health workers abroad with many patients rejecting them. We're waiting for some of these self-serving, greedy and unprofessional idiots with large egos to return back to Nigeria after some years. |

Kobonaire4: Why the common man is against subsidy removal is because the money "saved" from it will still be squandered and won't be of benefit to anybody. The truth is that if those trillions spent on subsidy annually are used to revamp our health and education sectors, as well as offer free healthcare and free tuition as well as scholarships, Nigeria would have gone far by now. Unfortunately, when subsidy is removed, the same Mr. Okeke, whose state government is owing salary on top #30,000 minimum wage, will still buy a litre of fuel for #500 and still pay thousands of Naira or more from his pocket anytime he or any family member goes to the hospital. This is one of the reasons why crime, drug trafficking and other vices thrive in Nigeria. These issues are not being addressed. |
Re: 85% Doctors Planning To Leave Nigeria, Says NARD by yemmit90: 11:14am On Jan 22, 2023 |
clinician2x: And you are a biggest fool. No one dispute the fact that our government need to do more as I clearly stated in the post you slowpoke quoted. Go and compare the average training fees of a resident doctors in UK or US and that of Nigeria first before you compare salary. I will say it again, government spend alot on each doctor before they graduate from universities. During my time in school, we were paying 4,500 as school fees, while medical students pays about 5,900. The difference was not upto 2000. They were giving the best hostels, labs and many other advantages on campus. Do you know how much it cost government to finance faculty of medicine in each university? Go and verify before you start spewing trash. In as must as we want our government to do more for them, we should not always justify the trend because of that. If all doctors leave, it will only affect poor Nigerians and not political classes. |

wacuc0: List 10 private individuals that have actively invested in the health field in Nigeria? That kind of money you are talking about cannot be made by an honest Nigerian doctor who works in a federal or state hospital. This is why people like Ngige and Saraki ran to politics. It gives them more money than medical practice. |
Re: 85% Doctors Planning To Leave Nigeria, Says NARD by yemmit90: 11:22am On Jan 22, 2023 |
Kobonaire4: You are 100% right. Unlike those quoting me up and down without considering the capacity of government to pay them the same amount as their colleagues oversee. If doctors are paying 6 millions naira a month and government stopped subsidising the sector, how many of us can spent over $50k to acquire the training in our universities here? How many of us can pay $10,000 for a surgery we can easily get less than 200k here in Nigeria? 1 Like |

Porpulace: Government do to other courses as well but not as significant as medical departments. Go to any federal University, the difference in tuition fees between medical science students and others are just token. I gave an example of during my time in school in another post. It is still the same today, and they enjoy more facilities than other students on campus. |

yemmit90: This was in my mind before I read this topic. They should sign that they will serve the country after gaining admission. Why will a country breed you and then you go and use it somewhere else? If you want to school in Nigeria you must serve the country and if you're not ready to practice in Nigeria go and study abroad. |
