Mumu don't go and read your book. Keep exaggerating. If are not motivate to study hard in the medical school, you can never be serious with your life.

U have nothing upstairs, so go and rest!

No points, no statistics, no facts, no evidence based discourse!

Just repeating same redundant line!

Anyone who has an opinion or negates you must be 'a child'. U're the only one who is right.

Pele oh, ancient of days!

Doc you get time answering these ignorant folks. Many of them, at the slightest opportunity, spew trash at doctors for one singular reason; they are frustrated! Many envy doctors for just being doctors!
I've read several comments from these ignorant dudes and all I can do is laugh. They obviously don't know what it means to be a medical doctor in this country. They don't know many of us are writing foreign exams so we can leave this country for them; after all one idiot above said we are half-baked
Two days ago I had to attend to a woman with suspected COVID-19 infection (still awaiting the result but her symptoms are highly suggestive), come and see the so called PPE I was given! We at the battle front struggle to have the right PPE, and you see the politicians wearing the N95 facemasks in their offices!! You pay a doctor #5000 as hazard allowance for managing highly contagious diseases, and the politicians earn enormous allowances for newspapers,wardrobe, travels e.t.c! Then when the doctor voices out the masses, who will still run to the doctor when they fall sick, will be the first to call them unprintable names! What a shame of a country!
Till today, I'm being owed up to six months salary and not sure if it will be paid; yet I work!
The best we can do is to ignore the rantings of these ignorant folks, after all even fools are entitled to their opinions.

Frustrated kwa, you wish!

I know that's what you lots want, frustrate doctors to soothe your low self esteemed egos, but guess what, God nor be man, he nor go shame us!

There's really no point talking to you

You only see what you choose to see through your warped and parochial myopic view of life, keep it up

Now Bugger off, loser!

In Nigeria, speaking up for your right or against injustice will be termed anything by people consumed by hatred like you.

First, I'm a baby, you deal with my ogas

Next, I'm frustrated

Mtchewwww, I don't blame you, it's a faceless forum after all. I'm sure you will eat your words if we were to be talking face to face.

Like I said, beat it, loser!

May God help us, apart from provision of PPE for covid 19 all other issues are monetary, when you think we have heatless leaders, then the so-called populace are worst,
Come to think of it ASUU are on strike and now NMA are.going amid a pandemic.
When other country like new Zealand are coming out of the pandemic Nigerians doctors and suppose researchers are on holiday

Well, I no longer practice medicine. Practiced for a few years before going into business and haven't looked back since then as business has been doing excellently well, easily out-matching whatever benefits I can get from practicing in the UK or Canada or wherever.

However, I always find time, at least every month, to donate my medical skills as a way to give back to the society, to the country that gave me such a valuable degree at almost no cost. Nigeria subsidized my medical training, I got my medical degree for less than $100 a year compared to my counterparts abroad who had to cough out tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars or get themselves neck deep in debt or pay over half their income in taxes just to get an MBBS, and I will forever be grateful for that.

As things currently are, Nigeria is just spending huge amounts of money subsidizing the healthcare systems of other countries with cheap manpower, especially the UK's NHS.

Medical education is expensive. That's why as rich as the UK is, they rather snatch doctors from other poorer countries rather than establish more medical schools for their citizens to fill in their shortage of medical professionals. Nigeria does the heavy spending by subsidizing medical training and then looses it all to other countries, effectively subsidizing those countries.

Nigeria has to realize this. Anyone who wants to attend government subsidized medical schools should either be made pay the real cost of their training or should sign bond agreements to serve the country for an agreed number of years before leaving to anywhere. Anyone not okay with this, should attend a private university or go and school abroad. You can't pay $100 a year as tuition and expect to earn US or UK salary in Nigeria. Yes, the Nigerian government has its own faults especially with the state of the public health sector but honestly speaking, my Nigerian medical counterparts are also too arrogant, expecting to be paid dollars and pounds in Nigeria.

And how many doctors have you talked to before making this generalization of 'Nigerian doctors'

Why do we so much love to denigrate our own

Nigerian women, Nigerian girls, Nigerian doctors, Nigerian police, Nigerian this Nigerian that!

Are you from America The so called First world are not perfect! They've got their own shortcomings as well which ignorant folks like you are unaware of because you're too lazy to conduct research, u'll rather jump to conclusions like a frog even when you have no idea what goes on in a particular field!

Tueh!

Me I'm a doctor, I am passionate about my job, and I've been owed severally by the irresponsible government of the day, yet I give my best daily!

Even today as I type, I'm still been owed some months yet I've been to work today, I know the number of patients I've attended to today both at clinic and in the ward.

Come and walk in my shoes for a month, let's see if you will not strike!
