No more money for house and car. My uncle built his first house with money gotten from this, my cousin who just got married bought his wife a car with same money.

I don't feel sorry for those affected because most of them supported this APC govt because all was going well with them.


They forgot how to emphatize, most of them even became proud.

Lol, bro, Nigeria has one of the cheapest healthcare, it might not be efficient, but its not expensive. Put the blame on the govt. for the poor remuneration of the workers. Health is not about headache and agbo alone, what happens to the pregnant mother in labour, the children with pneumonia and meningitis.? Na agbo go cure them? the endless cases of malnutrition? or the massive trauma along express roads. The health system is shitty but about to be the real shit, if this policy is absolutely implemented
Stop lying. Nigeria does not have one of the cheapest health care. You doctors are liars and propagandists. Health care in Nigeria is expensive and yet consultants do not come to work leaving the inexperienced registrars to do most of the jobs so please stop lying here. UK, India, Germany, Austria all have free health care. Their citizens only pay taxes. I have attached a screenshot to show you list of countries with free health a care. You doctors are liars and propagandists.

my honest advice to anyone in final year med school right now is to start IELTS. Aim to write your Plab or Usmle during HJ.
forget NYSC and residency abeg. Only give one year to Nigeria and japa. I even heard that you can do HJ in Ghana or T&T.
Don't waste your life giving to a country that doesn't give a Bleep about you.
Avoid "had I known" that some of us are saying now.

Medicine is overrated, genuinely speaking from the true sense of it. Students just put in applications for it just for the hype of it. It's not that they are being well paid for the profession here in Nigeria.

Studying medicine in Nigeria is a pure waste of time and useful energy. Some parents are fond of forcing their children to study all these bogus courses just for the sake of the big names they posses. Let's come to it financially, they ain't doing well.

It is high time our children started diverting their attentions from all the likes of medicine and surgery and the so called Law. Going to school to study law seriously in this Nigeria context is a pure waste of time. Why not study something more tech oriented? Why must it be medicine and law? How much are lawyers getting paid here in Nigeria?

Even the so called N190,000- N200,000 they pay medical house officers is still a peanut compare to the amount of years spent studying such a herculean course.

A lot of sensitisations ought to be done to make students realize that studying medicine doesn't actually make one rich or wealthy. Except for those that studied it for the love of it, any person going into that cuz of money is doomed for depression because your work won't be highly compensated with the amount of energy you put in weeks in weeks out. It is a nightmare so to say.

I don't support the Nigerian government and their stupidity but Nigerian doctors think they are they the best thing after bread was invented.

Go to the hospitals and see for yourself. Terrible and nonchalant attitude because you be doctor.

I thank God for the few godly ones tho.
There are people with terrible attitudes in every kind of work-place.I don't even want to start talking about the civil service.I keep looking for the many arrogant doctors and I find few of them.Besides,as a doctor,you are the leader of the health team and your firmness may be misinterpreted as arrogance.

Are medical interns authorized to do surgery?

From the little I have seen of public health care in Nigerian hospitals, the quality is too poor.

The workers maybe doing their best in spite of the system but when it boils down, the services are shit.

If it gets worse that this, people will prefer to just die at home
Interns assist in surgeries and see patients if there's shortage of residents.

okay. By the time you land in the hands of a quack and dangle between heaven and earth.

It will become very clear.

By the time an unpaid intern walks out on a sick person mid surgery because of other more important things than an unpaid job, your eye will clear.
You are talking rubbish. Who is a bloody intern? It’s like you think most people here are illiterates. An intern have no business where’s a minor or major surgery. He’s duty to go for messages, bring spirit, bring syringe. Your job is to stay at the bad and look. It’s the duty of the consultant and registrar to do surgery and give health care. An intern’s job is to observe and ask one or two brilliant questions. So an intern does not have significant use. It’s because consultants in Nigeria are paid for doing nothing. That’s why a bloody intern and junior registrar can open his mouth to talk bullshit. I traveled to Germany and saw their health care, it was the consultants taking the lead, registrars basically looks and ask questions (apprentice). But here in Nigeria, consultants are no where to be found, so registrars start playing god and a bloody student intern opens he’s mouth to talk trash because of the corrupt and rotten system in the Nigeria health care in which consultants are paid to seat at home. Rubbish.

It seems that going to medical school is no longer worth the risk..

Everybody will now want to be an engineer.

Hopefully this means they will no longer be used as houseboys and girls in teaching hospitals.

They will no longer do calls especially those 96hr straight calls.

This is all shades of bleeped up.

Dear prospsective jambites. Medicine is no longer worth its high cutoff mark. Go and do engineering and IT.

Housemanship is not studentship. How dumb are these elites?

The quality of healthcare will decline steadily, because, nobody will do slave work for free, and the basic job of taking history and bedside assessment will suffer. Laboratory result collection and specimens submission too will suffer massively. Do you know the huge role NYSC doctors, cover, when you discourage them, with no salary, who will fill that vaccuum?


NO worry, when you get diarrhea, and nurse tell you say make you extract your own blood yourself, na when you go understand as e dey go. You should weep for the nigerian populace. There will be massice depopulatio and brain drain. prett soon.

Have you ever wondered why Nigerian doctors are doing so excellently abroad?

You clearly don't understand the danger ahead in Nigerian health sector
Most, I repeat, Most Nigerian doctors are not doing well abroad. They are mostly General practitioners or emergency doctors (even Nigerian consultant doctors) are emergency doctors in UK, they are not allowed specialty. The Nigerian doctors that are specialist doctors are those that schooled abroad(did their BMMS abroad) and did their residency abroad and are brilliant are the ones doing well not the ones that left Nigeria as doctors. So kindly stop lying and misleading people. Nigerian doctors are liars and propagandists. Even the UK jobs Nigerian doctors dying for. It’s G.P, Emergency department that’s where they work. But they come online and lie like they are in specialized fields.
