True sir...

However, can we also put a firm ban on politicians and political appointees traveling to the same "Forbidden" overseas for medical care, starting obviously from the number one citizen of the nation??!

If it makes no sense for our trained doctors to travel abroad for work, then why should politicians earning fat off a 3rd world nation's resources travel abroad for health care that they have not made available back home for their citizens??!

It is not enough to tie health workers down in the nation all because you trained them for "free", you all must also stay back and allow them handle all your medical needs based on the training you gave them and the resources you provided for them to work with.

This is the true meaning of leadership!!!... You see why I detest and abhor sycophancy!!!

Commentor:


Nobody says you can't go abroad.

All they've said is, since they are sponsoring your education, you must serve for a number of year before you leave.

Angelfrost:


Yes, they leave because they wish to earn more and live better lives... I never disagreed with Ngige!

So, my question persists??! Why can't all political appointees be compelled in the same vein to strictly use all medical facilities in the nation and be banned from traveling to access health care??!... If our well trained doctors must remain here for a number of years to give back, why can't politicians and political office holders be compelled to ensure they and their families are treated solely by these doctors within the hospitals here??!

These are the issues! You can't separate them!!!

ThatFairGuy:
Because politicians chose to be useless doesn't mean we shouldn't take about the ungrateful and unpatriotic attitudes of our trained medical personnel.

There should be a law to that effect, EVEN POLITICIANS WARDS SHOULD SCHOOL IN NIGERIA.

This is what we all should keep canvassing for

tfelicityk:
This man is very very sick in the head. Why didn't he compares the wages of those countries he mentioned to Nigeria equivalent...

Nigerians leave you and your administration in the hands of God to pass His judgement.

Commentor:


You haven't said anything.

The average medical school debt in the US is 215, 000 dollars.

A Nigerian who was trained in Nigeria, giving all the "choice" hostels, giving higher stipends at youth service, would be the first to be insulting the entire system.

Theunbothered:


Are you dumb or can't read?

Do you understand the reason doctors want to run away in the first place?

Do you think this will help solve the doctor shortage in the country?

Please you foolish people shouldn't come into my mentions saying nonsense.

No actual plans just emotional measures meant to punish doctors.

ogatittus:


Do you know how much they are paid during residency? It can cover such costs. Nigerians also spend money to get there as well....it’s not like USMLE, PLAB or even MCCQE1 is free or something...some of these exams that the students abroad don’t write (apart from USMLE) Just so you know, a Nigerian planning to relocate to Cananda will spend over 900k to write the MCCQE 2...and it’s not like when they write these exams, it is guaranteed they’ll pass at once o.

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.

Commentor:


Sharap you idiot.

The average medical school debt in USA is 215,000 dollars but idiots like yourself always believe you must insult the country first before using your brains.

At the height of Coronavirus, despite the so-called inefficiencies and substandard, UK sent a plan down to Nigeria to pick doctors who enjoyed highly subsidised education.

Idiots like yourself can't see that it is wrong and must be addressed.

Compound FOOL.

BarrElChapo:


What has being igbo got to do with this eh... You could have attacked the man not the tribe now you sound very foolish

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

Henuell:

Jux imagine d rubbish
Its like u giving out free houses to citizens and after a while dey demolish the houses and leave d country

Theunbothered:


Because there is debt in the market US you want to replicate it?

What is the salary of an average doctor in the US compared to Nigeria, then we will talk properly.

Until then you're just talking emotional nonsense.

Lordbinsmar:


Ogun kill APC for turning Nigeria into a miserable shit hole where almost all its citizens are struggling to escape at the slightest opportunity.

Commentor:


Idiot.

I've told you.

We don't have to pay the same wages especially because the education is far cheaper.

If it was terrible, nobody would employ them.

Nobody says you can't go abroad after.

But since your Education was subsidised, you must serve a certain number of years before you can.

Yet you dey vex.

Judithjovial:
why end with sentiment, Amaechi and Femi Adesina are doing the same

Theunbothered:


Cost of education has nothing to do with wages.

Wages are a function of how much you value their work and clearly health workers in Nigeria are not valued so they leave.

This simple concept is what you can't understand.



How will this measure solve the doctor shortage?

You are just letting emotions overtake whatever small sense you have.

Commentor:


Err,it keeps you in the country longer.

Who knows after 9 years you just might not want to leave.

Theunbothered:


Doctors who have been in the profession for decades are leaving.

All those interviewed at the Saudi recruitment centre were old men.

Far too many people on this forum have brains but refuse to use them.

Commentor:


Yes, they would leave but NOT all.

Use your brain.

ariesbull:


Ngige is right.... We can't be training doctors for them to go practice elsewhere

It is like employing a staff and train the staff only for the staff to go to another company.... You bond the staff that is what organisations do

Theunbothered:


But how does that solve the doctor shortage
?

All this does is make an even bigger problem worse

At this point I'm not going to reply anymore because you clearly lack the mental faculties for this topic.
