It has always been about the money for most Africans, not the will to serve humanity.

Yes he should make money, enough money. Pls isn't the worthless woman a human being? Is she handicapped? Doesn't she have brains except this relaxer gel made from alkali or ammonium thioglycolate which is a salt of the neutralisation reaction of a weak acid and a weak base kills the brain cells making most women daft and useless. Didn't she go to school? Why should it be the man's business to make a lot of money and then bundle a useless log of wood to the U.K?

So the sentiments and mindset of a Nigerian woman still dey vex you?

By now, you should have realized how the life of a woman is planned.
It's go to school, try to graduate, get a small job to hold body, get married to a comfortable man...keep doing the small job, but the man must grow & continue making more and more money for both of them to be able to afford a better life. cheesycheesy

Oga op self how did u end up with such a woman. She is zero goal oriented and with no ambitions. Marco polo is an adventurer and had to travel far and wide because of his Ambitions. This woman is not ready to test new waters she has no drive, no goals, no zeal, nothing. She's empty.

I am doing my residency too and not yet married but I am very careful about the woman I want to get married to. I have a long way to go and most times they just think once a doc is done with nysc he's set but not always true.

This woman is delaying your destiny juat like eve destroyed Adam's destiny but the mistake Adam made was that he didn't have the video.

I hope that one day government will increase the fee to acquire a medical degree here for people who intend migrating abroad but maintain same fee as it is now for those who chose to serve here in Nigeria, you can't earn a cheap qualification here then migrate to earn fat salaries abroad, my take.

What exactly are you ranting about? He says the wife is gainfully employed, didn't you read that? Have you heard of the word CONTENTMENT before? The wife is content with her life, the OP runs two jobs, he is not satisfied, he wishes to be like his friends who live abroad, fine, so let him make the money to achieve that. The wife is not in agreement, and may not agree to contribute. Take a look at how you are describing someone's wife, terrible. Also, if you are a type who has never come across supportive decent women, then check yourself and your environment, the problem could be from you.

I'm a medical doctor by profession and completed my residency over a year ago. However, I'm currently frustrated with the state of things in this country. I work endlessly, shuffling between a public hospital here in Lagos as well as also doing some consulting on the side in a private hospital – all to make ends meet.

Many of my fellow medical practitioners have relocated abroad and are all doing tremendously well for themselves earning fat salaries. My friends have tirelessly encouraged me to also make that move but for the past 3 years now, I’ve be peddling a lie that I’m 'comfortable' here in Nigeria. What many don’t know is that MY WIFE is the main reason why I’ve not been able to even attempt the exams not to talk of passing and eventually relocating.

Her reasons?

I have an elder brother who currently lives in the UK – he’s an engineer doing incredibly well for himself. He is married to a fellow Nigerian who is a naturalised citizen abroad but here’s the problem, my wife cannot stand the thought of moving to the UK because of an ongoing issue with my brother’s wife. I can’t go into much detail lest I digress, but my wife has always had this inferiority complex that my sister in-law will look down on her because she was raised abroad and comes from a wealthy home. These two have never gotten along from the very beginning and things have deteriorated to the point that this has affected my relationship with my bro. I personally like my brother’s wife, she’s an intelligent and down to earth lady and we got along so well until I met and married my wife. My brother and I have both tried to get our wives to reconcile but to no avail and now that I could potentially move abroad, this matter has been a major stumbling block affecting my ability to forge ahead in life.

Every time I try to talk sense into my wife, she flares up and refuses to admit the truth, rather she’d claim that her reasons for not wanting to move abroad is because “the grass isn’t greener on the other side”, “people are suffering abroad”, “she’s comfortable with her job here in Nigeria” etc.. but deep down we both know that she doesn’t want to give my sister-in law the satisfaction of seeing us move to the UK for a better life – coupled with the fact that we might have to squat with them for a while before finding my feet.

I am depressed but do a fantastic job at hiding it but the truth is, It breaks my heart every time yet another colleague of mine relocates abroad with his family and then tells me of how conformable life is over there and how much doctors are being paid – it’s not that I’m jealous, I genuinely feel happy for my guys, but just can’t help but feel stuck and unfulfilled with how things are going in my career and personal life.

Your wife is not a good woman sorry. It is as simple as that.

This is the reason you must marry someone that will listen to you. It is not a mattter of being a dictator but set the cards straight.
It is always like that. You will always find someone to hold you back - your brother, sister, father, mother, wife, husband, etc.

You gotta do what is best for you and your family.

How much salary? Don't for a second think doctors are paid so much like that. Take LUTH for example, do you how many months and how frequently they delay paying salaries? If not for the private hospital I work at, I doubt I'd be able to even afford rent.

[s]As a doctor, I'm faced daily with an immense pressure to live up to certain standards. We have to drive certain cars, carry ourselves a certain way[/s]give handouts to every family member who feels you are better off than they are. It's been a stressful existence so far practicing medicine in Nigeria, it's not all glitz and glam as it seems.


I struck out the absolutely untrue and unnecessary part, you are pressed to be all that, you, the person that you are, not what doctors are pressed to be.
Yeah it’s good to help your poorer relatives and friends. You actually should if you can and if you want to, don’t be pressed to give, otherwise it negates the very core of giving

Oga!!, my senior colleague, make I knee down beg you, because the frustration is real. Please ehn don't let your wife hold you down. Pls write PLAB, go there first, then acquire a house and prepare the road for her. Tell her to do this for the kids. She can also busy herself here getting certifications that will make her employable there. Pls sir, run!!! Even if it means selling all you have.


Don't let her be your stumbling block. abeg!! Our suicide rates are the highest in Nigeria. We are all running away, doing this for a better life for our generation., don't be left behind. Pls sir, start reading and leave. Don't let nigeria frustrate you the way it is doing most of us.

Ignore these greedy Nigerians that want us to be miserable like them. They are the first ones to throw us under the bus. Sir, after residency, you should know it's not worth it, staying here and work as a doctor or do the godforsaken residency. If our consultants are leaving in droves, you have no excuse. If people are leaving after NYSC, you have no excuse.

Don't fall into depression because your wife wants to be petty and feel inferior, no one can make her inferior without her permission.

This is not about taking sides, he's just saying it as it is. She's his wife after all, and who knows her better than him...
To say she feels inferior to her sister in-law is just putting it lightly, I think she's envious.

Op is even claiming "as a doctor I can get my own place but I dont have to". So they welcome you with your professional job as soon as you land right?

Another annoying thing, this person claims he is working yet still complaining my wife is against my progress blah blah, so people without jobs or prospects what are they supposed to do?

Many doctors cannot afford to pay their children's school fees. Do you know that? Or buy land.

For the fact that we studied so hard, for so long and put in more hours, we really should be compensated more for what we do, or at least given proper welfare. That's not the case.


It's harder on men than it is on us. And for you to say what you did. Maybe you are out of practice, married to a wealthy man, or not a provider for your family. So please emphathise with him and move on.


I only say it that the main thing trapping doctors in Nigeria is family responsibilities.
