Nigeria has become a training ground for professionals who would benefit other foreign societies.

This is not just about Doctors but all professionals in Nigeria.

We are mostly trained for "free" in Nigeria, then owing to the poor renumeration in the country, many who are already gainfully employed here resign to go take up job offers abroad, without having to take student loans like their peers abroad who are still paying back from their salaries.

We just earn the same salary as them in their country, and have no student loan to worry about.

In Nigeria, you can be the child of a cleaner/janitor and pass through university with a lot of discomfort, but without owing a penny by the time of graduation. Abroad, the child of a janitor without a scholarship (academic or sport), is only in the university doing similar janitorial work.

Henuell:
So they'll leave after being trained for free (IF ITS EVEN FREE) my guy this seems like rubbish to me

This is to say we will still have to look for qualified docs when qualified docs have left nigeria

Emuforlife1:
Any Doctor that wants to Work abroad should school abroad. Simple. You can't take our cheap education to go and work abroad.
If you are not comfortable with the policy, you can as well drop out of the Medical school and create space for those who want to serve thier FATHERLAND.
This is akin to the OKOROS that are earning a living in the North but will cowardly always come online to spew trash/fallacies about tge North.

Aconomy:
This is the height of cluelessness

PeaceJoyLove:
And this Ngige is a doctor who gained from Nigeria. Trained for free indeed as if they didnt pay school fees, handouts, stressed out seriously like medicine is the only course on earth that is do or die affair. Enough carry overs, then no reward after schooling. You owe them salaries. And the UK opened doors for them, and they move. E dey pain this one ooo. Lol.

Foolish labor minister. See how ibos are killing themselves. Is Fashola or Ameachi doing this? Yet, this short man devil called Ngige is doing rubbish. Later ibos will say others sidelined them. If you are sent to even torment your people, you have ways to do it and make life easy for them na.. not this one. Short people and wickedness are like 5 and 6.

Sorry mate, the pple you just mentioned above can't even help themselves. They are currently cooling in their respective dungeons

hisexcellency34:
In a saner clime, this short imp would have been kicked out or resign as Minister

Jayrow08:

Theunbothered:


I am resisting the urge to insult you right now but let me just say this.

Serving your fatherland isn't slavery, pay doctors and they won't leave, it is that simple.

If all the doctors leave who do you think will suffer, us or them?

These foolish politicians run abroad whenever they get simple ear ache while poverty stricken supporters on nairaland will support them when they don't even have a primary health care center in their local government.

Stop thinking like a primary school child.



You just wrote a wall of nonsense.

Will you work for 6 months without salary?

My tuition cost millions and you want me to work for uncertain chicken change.

Who do you think will suffer if all the professionals leave because idiots want to force them to work?

ThatFairGuy:
Thanks for your unbiased opinion. THAT NONSENSE MUST STOP

Angelfrost:


You are majoring on minor and mundane things, leaving out the main issues...

What stops the leaders from stepping up and upgrading the nation's health care sector to the level abroad??! Why pay political appointees 10 times more than senior health workers??! Did our senators and ministers pay far more while schooling in Nigeria??!
Is it not more sensible and leadership worthy to address the root cause of such migration of skills rather than looking for excuses to justify your poor leadership!

Mind you, I don't disagree wholly with Ngige's point, but it is moot compared to the pressing issue of poor allocation and investments in this nation's health and education sectors...

I would expect a learned person to be smart enough to dissect issues beyond party affiliations and ethnicity!!! This is why Nigeria remains behind globally!

Commentor:
Totally agree.

Government can't subsidise your education then you turn around to insult same.

lilvicky68:
So they should stay but when you're sick you would leave them and travel abroad to patronize other doctors??

Mtchewwwww

oldtruth:


Wow! So, what is your point? Are you saying Nigeria is better?

You honestly why some Nigerians are like this? Someone who sat down in his stupid cubicle and be writing epistle of RUBBISH.

How many children of a janitor do you see that are out of school in a sne clime like the US?

Yes, they collect loan for schooling and that is a very good way to ease the parents but that doesn't mean they can't afford it. It all depends where the child wants to school.

Yes, there are heless people globally but in most cases in a sane clime, it is hardly poverty. It might be drug abuse, illegal immigration and the rest.

Comparing a saner clime education system to this country makes you sound somehow.

Commentor:


Why?

Medical doctors in US despite their huge wages, owe their student debts for years.

Angelfrost:


So, why do the same government fail to strictly use the health care facilities within the nation starting from Mr. President??!

Why should Nigerian leaders earn fat off the country and travel abroad for health checks and treatments??!...

We work with them in their Google, or Microsoft, or Apple offices, in their law firms and hospitals, unknown to us that the salary we enjoy, they use to offset the student loans that got them the degree.

We just earn the same salary as them in their country, and have no student loan to worry about.

ogatittus:


Nigerian medical students also have the opportunity to take loans. In Niger Delta University, Amassoma, students pay as much as N200,000. They can take a loan and when they start working the government takes it back in bits from their salary. I know, for some people, N200,000 is small money compared to the big big school fees people pay overseas but it is commensurate to what you get - bad classrooms, 8 to 9+ years in school e.t.c Somebody will enter school at 18 and graduate at 31...our mates abroad don’t experience such.

Commentor:


Is that why the doctors leave?

Say the truth.

They leave because they can earn more.
