When Prosper wrote that yesterday, i just decided to leave the group

If he had done the maths to know how many doctors we will pay 750k, he won't have made that comment.

larride:


They definitely deserve a better working conditions and better remunerations.

Roland17:


Doc, this is what I have been trying to tell Dayo. We can’t eat our cake and have it. We can’t fail doctors who are by far one of the most important if not the most important and still tell them they can’t travel in a competitive market. What is 250K in a country with double digit inflation?

Between incessant strikes and accreditation issues, doctors spend 3 extra years in school, so what gives? Spending 5 years to pay back what? Were the fees agreed upon before admission as subsidized? If proponents of this bill don’t want doctors leaving them compel our politicians to fix the healthcare system in 5 years!

The world is now a global and competitive market. Few days ago @ibime was sharing how he is being recruited from out of UK for his skills. If you are a doctor in Nigeria ala Unlimited22, my brother, I know it is not easy, abeg find way comot, you are too young to sacrifice 5 years of your life. If you need my help abeg reach out.

These people are wicked! I see them here!! They come here and enjoy the system, return home and don’t care if doctors are payed peanuts. Who brags about paying doctors 250K in a volatile and unstable economy like Nigeria? We have not talked about bad working conditions, insecurity, strikes and lack of systems and amenities. We have not talked about pension, gratuities and other benefits!

raumdeuter:


When will timing of subsidy removal we okay? When will the time be right

We have done the same timing is not okay for over 20yrs

Unlimited22:

Definitely not now

Even though I'm in support of its removal

raumdeuter:


What will be an acceptable middle point for you

raumdeuter:


If 250k is too small in a country like Nigeria given what other professionals earn, how much would be okay. An accountant starting salary for govt is probably less than 100k. That shows how much govt values doctor. The accountant is also dealing with double digit inflation poor amenities in the same Nigeria

People are shocked at working 150hrs per week…. I had 3hrs sleep per day for about two years…Doing two jobs to pay fees……That shiit is crazy.

Can’t imagine doing that in Nigeria and also, in a critical sector…. Forcing them to stay is slavery Abeg

OasisX:


3hrs per day for about 700 days? You tried bruh..... I no fit.

seankafor:
I can't fit even if you pay me 1 million dollars..

Roland17:


Since when did accountants become essential services? How many Nigerians use accountants in comparison to doctors in community, state and federal hospitals?
You can not in one argument admit they are essential services and in another compare them to accountants while compelling them to remain in Nigeria. Are they mandating accountants to remain in the country for 5 years after graduation?

OasisX:




I swear! Dude really tried!

OasisX:
To be fair, Doctors deserve nothing less down ₦500k per month in Nigeria, while Nurses shouldn't be collecting anything less down ₦250k per month.

If you want to stop them from japa, then at least do them well. PAs to Politicians are better paid than our dear Doctors. Imagine Wike with special 200k PAs on ₦200k per month for doing absolutely nothing!

Pay them well or allow them to japa peacefully. You can't spend 5 to 7 yrs in the University, engage yourself in other field requirements for more years, only to be dragging salary level with MC Oluomo's PAs.

obainojazz:
I had to go see doctor at one point to do full body check as I was one cardiac arrest from kicking bucket…Then I booked hotel for three days so man could rest.

$70K plus tuition is no joke… then add rent and other living expenses

Itsrm:


20k per month

seankafor:
those sleepless hours will definitely backfire later on in the life..

Night sleep is very very important

My wake up call was when one Nigerian recently died at work… Leaving behind a heavily pregnant wife and kid.

He was a student like me but much older… in his early 40s so his body couldn’t take it.

The government granted the family protection visa thankfully and the woman just put to bed recently.

Seeing the man buried and the wife weeping…. Overwork ain’t no joke especially in Medcine.

obainojazz:
It’s 2am here but I’m awake… that’s because man don develop insomnia 💀

Slept around 10pm and body said I’ve slept enough

Roland17:


If you are scared of losing doctors, then fix the system! Make your system competitive against developing countries at least, not even the West!

Why are they not sponsoring bills to better the working conditions of Nigerian doctors? Why are we wicked in Nigeria for God’s sakes!

Even with the lack of data, our clinical outcomes are shameful, now imagine if we had reliable data! The poor are already living in bondage, this bill will not resolve anything just like the new Naira policy..

if you overwork and die, na people wey no even know how you sweat 💦 and labour will inherit your wealth..

My school results is in shambles today because I'm very lazy to do and attend all those practicals, lectures, assignments bla bla bla..

I literally paid for half or almost of the works..

I dey skip school schedules with reckless abandon.. infact my course mates dey call me non academic student..

No be me una go stress..

Ibeme:


Part of the sacrifice of japa

OasisX:


Brother.... pls do take good care of your health and body. I know man must cook to eat well and confortably in future, but not at expense of our health bro.
