Brain Drain: Nigeria Has Lost Over 20,000 Medical Doctors

Information emerging from the Federal Government has revealed that about 20,000 doctors have migrated from Nigeria over time, with about 4,000 of that figure heading to the United States of America.

Actually, you're behind. But in typical Naai-gerian fashion, you think you're ahead. That's what happens when you've achieved nothing as a nation. You think every single thing is an achievement, even when it's not.

It is claimed the balloon will be used in Abuja. Do you seriously think a civilised country would be so backward as to have a balloon hover above a whole city unhindered like you Naai-gerians have proposed? Really?

Warrantless spying is a no-no in democratic, civilised countries. Clearly, Naai-geria doesn't fall within that category. Not that we didn't know that anyway. cool

The US uses the balloons on vanquished nations and would never freely use spy balloons in the US, ever.

You Naai-gerian backward lot know nothing about rights to privacy, clearly. 100 years behind the curve, non?

Totally uncivilised is Naai-geria and it's citizens are none the wiser. Look at how happy they are to be spied on by their own government grin grin grin. Which other country would behave like this?

We all know that you can't use your phantom balloons over any other country's air space. You don't have the clout. Your spy ballons are meant for Naai-geria - well, if you ever build them, that is! Beeeeg EEEEEF grin So much for being a modern democracy!

Ohio Bill Would Nullify Warrantless Drone Spying



House Bill 207 was introduced in response to law enforcement agencies seeking to purchase and use unmanned aerial vehicles, commonly referred to as drones.

“As this technology continues to become more prevalent, the state of Ohio must be vigilant in seeing that drones are used only in circumstances that specifically protect public safety,” Damschroder stated. “HB 207 ensures that law enforcement agencies are only using drone technology for appropriate reasons. We have all watched over the past few weeks how technology could potentially be used by government agencies to violate our privacy and conduct unwarranted surveillance. We need to do everything possible to prevent a Big Brother society where government exerts too much control of our lives or has too much access to our private information.”

And how could you possibly know the capabilities of SA's spy networks? You're saying you have the best spy network based on what exactly? National Intelligence Agency and the South African Secret Service they just sit around doing nothing? You dont know what equipment and resources they have because their budgets are classified,let alone what they spend those budgets on..... so there's no way to compare.

Weak argument.

You're all coming on here to celebrate a spying system that civilised nations are rejecting. Warrantless spying over general populations is backward.

There's nothing strategic about flying a balloon - assuming you ever will get to that stage. Your balloon will never fly over any other country's air space. What enemies? It's meant to spy on Naai-gerians! undecided

South Africans will never allow their government to do that. Heck, every democratic, civilized country will reject that. You're behind the curve of progress.

Strategic intelligence is about finding ways to avoid the brazen barbarism that's proposed in Naai-geria. Not that you'd know anything about that. You're Naai-gerian, after all. No societal foundations in that place.

Spy balloons are not Armed Drones. Spy balloons are not systems/network wide computer hacking and surveillance or eavesdropping like you appear to suggest in your comment. Clearly you reason and talk like a juvenile. The strategic deployment for war/conflict surveillance must be beyond your 33% comprehension. Lack of strategic military intel capabilities in SANDF should by now be a source of worry for you SAns. This is a big salute to the warped and barbaric stoneage societal foundations deeply entrenched in your South Africa. Just keep blabbing. It's your folly in full display again.

Respected? What is your academic ranking? I can give you Stellenbosch's academic ranking.

Don't give us a statement that no one can quantify. Academically, where are you ranked in the world? Numbers please. Not words.

You said our military "is too slow to run an institution ". I was all too happy to show you that America does it like South Africa. Same academic system for military studies. So, AMERICAn defence are too slow to run an institution too? undecided

You spoke too soon and now you're in a sticky situation. May I please have your academic ranking as well as your internationally published, peer reviewed papers.


Ignorance is your greatest problem. My silence on this matter is for a reason. Materials at our disposal cannot be used here verbatim. I am still trying to extract what is possible in order to give you guys a quick run down without a compromise to operational identities and internal sources. Just be patient. All I can say for now is that you have beautiful buildings filled with more foreign manpower -- lecturers and postgraduate (masters, doctoral, and post doctoral) students/candidates than your local South Africans in a roughly 7:3 ratio. Without them your rankings would be nothing to write home about. On the surface your NRF database can give you some insight on authors of published research work and patents. Yes, the authors' University or institution takes the credit ... but the intellectual output and quality of research remain each author/researcher's personal effort (foreign effort).

Having said this, the story of the current rankings of SA universities cannot be divorced from the influence and effort of foreign faculty members who constitute close to 60-70% of SA's academic workforce. Refute this at your own peril.

The Nigerian Army has taken many giant steps of recently by producing surveillance vehicles, refurbishing some armoured personnel carriers (APC’s)and armoured fighting vehicles and inventing an anti-malaria drug called ‘Nartel’.

These were made known on Tuesday at the monthly press briefing by the Director, Army Public Relations Department, Brig-Gen Attahiru Ibrahim; excerpts:

The Nigerian Army recently produced a 25km Range Surveillance Transplant Vehicle which was initiated by 51 Division Signal army. The vehicle is expected to assist the Nigerian Army in gathering intelligence in the field during operations. It is heart warming to note that this equipment has been deployed to the AFISMA operations in Mali.

The Nigerian army has equally carried out the refurbishment of several Armoured Personnel Carriers and Armoured Fighting Vehicles at the Special Vehicle Plant in Bauchi. This was achieved through greater involvement of personnel of the NAEME. The optimum utilization of our personnel in this regard forms part of the transformation agenda which is defined in line with their national interest, perception and projections.

Furthermore, the Nigerian Army Small Drug Manufacturing Unit (NASDMU), recently invented an anti – malaria drug known as “Nartel”.  This drug was launched on 2 April, 2013 by the Honourable Minister of State for Defence with the COAS in attendance.

This new drug is affordable and available to all Nigerians as approved by the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration Control (NAFDAC) and the World Health Organization (WHO).  It is a new drug that fights malaria and provides solutions to commonly known non-resistant malaria drugs.   By this development, this drug will curtail malaria, not only among troops and their families and by extension, the larger society.

The Nigerian Army recently produced a 25km Range Surveillance Transplant Vehicle which was initiated by 51 Division Signal army. The vehicle is expected to assist the Nigerian Army in gathering intelligence in the field during operations. It is heart warming to note that this equipment has been deployed to the AFISMA operations in Mali.

i've been hearing about this for some time now. you get any pic?

DON'T LIE, SOUTH AFRICA HAS MORE CUBAN AND SADC DOCTORS THAN NIGERIA DOCTORS. I CAN BRING U STATS, EVEN nairaland HAS THREADS ABOUT. WHERE A NIGERIAN MEDICAL GRADUATE WAS dissapointed TO SEE THAT S.A. LOOKS DOWN ON NIGERIAN DOCTORS.

I CAN TELL U THE FEW WE HAVE ARE "YORUBA SPEAKERS" THAN "IGBOS".

BY THE WAY SOUTH AFRICAN(of all colours) AS WELL HAS DOCTORS OVERSEAS. THEY MAKE MAJORITY OF AFRICAN DOCTORS IN NORTH AMERICA.
