Una no let them japa.

Things like this speaks volume about the present state of our nation ..its an ugly shame on the nation and nothing is done to address it ... God help us

Ok

Is well

This is clearly a communication gap between the UK visa office in Nigeria and the Nigeria Immigration service.

It could also be that the Nigerian doctors have been scammed.

Japa

Next time follow Ghana

Sadly, these doctors would end up treating our greedy and corrupt politicians who have run our hospitals aground by the time they get to the UK and start practising. These ones don go already. All they're awaiting is the next action. The government should just keep the remaining ones from following suit by paying them well with
better welfare package. That yeye 5k per doctor as insurance no be am.

why dont you people allow this guys go make their money was it Nigerian governor that send them to so?

This indicates the premium given to health by a serious country. Nigeria will prefer to pay touts and even send some of them to Parliament to earn big salaries while those who run our health systems wallow in poverty.
They should allow them to go, they also need to secure a good future for their families, it is not only politicians that knows how the secure their future generations.
Why should they stay when the country does not value their services?
I am sure they do not block them because of their services to an ordinary citizen, it is simply because the airspace is currently closed for medical tourism, it is because of their selfish health security given that they can't run abroad for every headache as it used to be pre-Covid-19 era.

NIGERIA can't help people and still block help coming from another source. Eyaaa, God Na why you give us this country?

the British government knows about this..I smell conspiracy theory.

they are trying to illegally move doctor's out of the country to meet their demand for more doctors

it might not be..

Lol does a company or firm have the right to grant visa waiver. Doctors contact NHS or Home Office if you want to run out of the country.

Idyllic:
The doctors could not have attempted to travel unless there was arrangement with UKVI. They are intellectuals. UKVI granted them visa waiver.

During this COVID period, if you are a doctor from anywhere in the world and you have a job offer in the UK. You can travel to the UK without visa. Your employer will apply for visa waiver on your behalf and UKVI will issue you a visa waiver letter which will allow you entry into the UK.
They started it during this COVID period because UK visa office in Nigeria and many other places are closed because of the pandemic. That's why they put that in place so that doctors who want to travel to UK to resume job can do that.

I guess the problem was that their employer did not carry the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) along.
UK visa office in Nigeria we soon reopen, so they will leave soonest

so they were scammed

JosephXavier:
This one na to comot from person mouth

People that are paid 387 USD that will amount to at most 5k in a year in Nigeria annually have counterparts earning close to 100k in UK

Zoogeria can't help you and won't let you help yourself

The following question is genuinely not loaded- but where did these doctors train and acquire their qualifications?

they collected 500 pounds from each of them for placement

Now this looks like an organised fraud by scammers

I suspect scam. UK NES has no right to grant visa waiver. It can only be facilitated by NHS and approved by the Home Office.

This is scam..you guys be smart.

To work in the Uk as a doctor you must have written and passed plab1 and plab 2

Nairaland is now becoming one of the useless platforms and the owner is careless.

Politicians and political robbers are earning for doctors what they should earn in Nigeria

Propaganda or scam

They didn't settle the immigration officers. If you don't drop something for them they'll look for a way to frustrate your departure.

Speaking from experience and I've got proof.

Richdad50:


What the immigration service did to those doctors is nothing more than what satan does when something good is about to come your way.

Nigeria is dead and no sane human would build his or her future around a country that can't project where it would be in the next 5 years.

NB: For each time I type on Nairaland, I only but weep. A site that has so much goodwill but its operators possess an archaic posture to 'improvement'. They post bad stuff about governance every day on this site but have remained inept and incapable of moving forward, resistant to change.

All things shall work together for their good.....

Freestainworld:
they should allow them go, who wan suffer for this lying government.

I'm supporting FG on this move. Did you forget that those MD's Took oath to save lives. Why would they think of leaving in no other time than this covid-19 pandemic? we already have a few doctors available for our enormous population? Id delist them from NMA list if I was president. They're so selfish!
