Dude what's your problem with doctors wanting a better life??

Uncleodi:


You are pained because you are not a Doctor.
Go and buy jamb form and study Medicine and tell me how you will survive with 140k per month.

You want to remain a tenant for life abi? You won't buy car or by land to build your personal house.

A nice camry will cost like 3million naira and you have to save for 3 years to buy it when Doctors abroad that have the same brain like you can afford that within 3 months.

No Doctor is greedy, it is the society that puts alot of pressure on us.. #Rethink

ahiboilandgas:
most of them dont do calculation they think 25m naira (50 pounds) will give same type of lifestyle and chilling in uk......u might move from a duplex in Nigeria to a condon in uk and still pay 1200 pounds per months....u cant even have a nanny ,cook, house girl,maiguard driver any more ......u will wash ,iron ,cook your meals your self .....all those 15000 house girls in NIgeeria no dey u will pay 700 pounds for day care from that salary ....

OVB123:
No! don't you think that nigerians (citizens) are also involved?

frog12:
to CATCH a liar, let him keep talking until he makes a big mistake.

so this is just GREED for money. That's how they catch you GREEDY doctors!
now the GOVERNMENT must disavow those doctors that emigrate and REVOKE their nigeran citizens.

Sign a bond for?

The entire state-owned University system is subsidized, not just medical degrees. And this is standard practice around the world in many developed (and developing) countries. Nigeria won't be the first to start issuing bonds.

frog12:
if the HOUSE they burn, will you RUN AWAY or look for WATER to fight the FIRE?

answer that!

kowalsky:


Stop using America as a generalization for the rest of the world!

There are many 'advanced' countries where medical degrees are close to free of charge

frog12:
they are GOING because of GREED. all AFRICAN countries face this PROBLEM. they pay our DOCTORS around 200 thousand a MONTH, and that's not enough for them? GREED. Ghana knows the problem, so THEY MAKE IT difficult for their DOCTORS to run away!
it's because we subsidise education, and make it cheap to STUDY medicine very CHEAP! it's expensive to study medicine in the Western country. You have to get LOANS to study so you are locked until you pay the debt.


Going because they want better lives.

Can't spend north of six years toiling in one harsh med school and come out to $400 as starter salary. That's not enough to buy a note 9 fyi

kowalsky:



50k pounds is an awesome salary to start with in the UK.

While the cost of living is deffo costlier than in Nigeria, the quality of life is also light years ahead of what's obtainable here.

For starters, you get uninterrupted access to state of the art social amenities. Then there's security of life and properties.

topboss:



THE ONLY THING THAT CAN STOP DOCTORS LEAVING NIGERIA IS BETTER HEALTH INFRASTRUCTURE, BETTER HOUSING, VARIOUS INCENTIVES AND BETTER MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE, WITH THEM IN CHARGE OF THEIR BUDGET AND HELD ACCOUNTABLE.



WE ARE WASTING MONEY ON NASS MEMBERS. DO WE REALLY NEED TWO CHAMBERS?



DEM JUST PACK FULL HOUSE THEY COLLECT MORE MONEY AND LOOT, WHILST NIGERIA GOES DOWN.

ahiboilandgas:
we are not against doctor been rich or poor ....doctors can come together and set up private practices and charge their millions and buy private jets......but doctor trained by our collective tax contributions must not run to the uk is like duping tax payers .....acess bank trains graduate on a 2 m naira bond or 2 years .....so public doctor must sign bonds to be admitted to public school run by public tax......

frog12:
what does this have to do with POLITICS?
POLITICS and science do not MIX.

even if you GIVE the greediest DOG the best meat, it will never be ENOUGH.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND that?

kowalsky:


Stop using America as a generalization for the rest of the world!

There are many 'advanced' countries where medical degrees are close to free of charge

frog12:
which advanced country has free medical education?
Germany? you must still pay some funds.

topboss:
I SUSPECT MORE NIGERIANS WILL GO AND STUDY MEDICINE, AND LEAVE THIS COUNTRY IN THE NEXT 6 YEARS.


NIGERIA WILL PAY DOLLARS TO IMPORT FOREIGN DOCTORS OR USE STUDENT DOCTORS TO TREAT EVERYBODY.

Leopantro:


At a certain point, you throw in the towel and start afresh

heykims:

NIGERIA LOSS IS BRITISH GAIN.

frog12:

ahiboilandgas:
some other Nigerian will move back to Nigeria to set up world class hospital and smile to the bank ...reggition hospital....etc ......it 2 way on the maslow law of needs u are still in basic level ....

pmoye:
If anyone wants to leave, let them leave.

Expand the primary care to include more allied healthcare professionals and ad hoc staff. Introduce certification courses (1-3 years) that individuals with natural and life science university/polytechnic education such as microbiology, zoology, botany, biochemistry, science laboratory technology etc can undertake to make them function in certain basic areas of health... Most of the health burden in the country concerns basic complaints and illnesses like malaria, minor skin infections, candidiasis and the likes... Nigeria should leverage on graduates with degrees in life sciences, train them to attend to these basic areas of care.. These specially certified individuals will not practice alone but will be affiliated with specially accredited pharmacies, nursing homes, medical laboratories etc that will function as special primary health care units... And as a rule disallow these basic conditions from being handled at the tertiary health facilities who will only attend to emergencies and referrals.

We have special situations in Nigeria and we should stop copying the rich countries in the way we do things. The fact is, Nigeria cannot afford to pay any one (doctors, etc) what they are worth. We all claim that we are rich as a country, I hate to burst your bubbles by telling you that even as a country we are miserably poor. Check our GDP/revenues, and compare the figures with what some mega corporations like Apple (not even countries now) make. We are phucking poor, and that's for a fact. And the only way to get out of that is for the Nigerian economy to become well-suited and conducive for private businesses. Paying professionals millions will not solve our problem, it will simply deepen the cycle of nonsense.

frog12:
you sound like a DOCTOR.
GREED. so you dey say 200k salary a month is not enough?
tell us more.
