There are lots of Doctors and nurses managing private hospital jobs and ready but these government will not bother recruiting to fill gaps but keep making silly noise about people that have japa.
They only care about spending millions on buying new cars for themselves and looting

And those who still belief one, instead of RESTRUCTURED NIGERIA

Nigeria remain the best but our politicians frustrate our youth. Imagine 4 Nigerian gratitude truck from Lagos to Ghana just this week.

Well Nigeria subsidies most everyone's education yet they Japa..

If we take your comment to ots logical conclusion,no graduate of any Nigerian university in any field would be allowed to japa

You don't get it.

Westerners use student loans from the govt to fund their education which they have to pay back.

The subsidy that goes into medicals is obvious and large. No one says they should not relocate but the Nigeria govt needs to pass a law that will mandate it for to refund the govt subsidy or practice for certain years in Nigeria to liquidate the debt.

Nigeria as of today is not that rich to be training doctors for almost free using taxpayers money only for them to abandon the same taxpayers and go abroad to practice. That will be the smart thing any nation will do.

Do you really know how much it costs to train a doctor?

I agree with you. I am just telling you that the logic you are using applies to other graduates especially engineers, lawyers and even postgraduate students.

Employ more doctors and nurses to fill those vacant positions ...they are a lot of qualified doctors and nurses that have graduated from the University looking for jobs

See what renewed shege has caused 🙄

So you actually believe that LUTH will lock five 150-bed wards, as in 750 beds? How many bed-capacity is the whole LUTH itself when you can ignorantly believe that 750 beds are unoccupied and locked? Smh.

With your kind of negativity and ignorance which you think is cool, many of you will never be blessed by this land. All you do is give negative mindset and the land will reflect it back to you.

You can't make this shiit up, some people came to this world to be willfully stupid, that is their God ordained purpose in this life, because I cannot understand how a human choose to support evil like a blind bat and think they can be blessed by this land,

It is that "Free stuff" you go dey sell for the rest of your life.

In as mush as I despise FreeStuff, I will like to asked the Hospital Managemnt why they stop recruiting new clinical staffs. Nigerian schools are still graduating medical students every years in their hundreds.

Do they have the necessary experience required to handle extremely complicated patients?

The problem hospitals face presently is the absence of experience workers to teach newbies on the job.

It doesn't make sense working in a govt hospital with the peanut pay when u plan to japa as a Nigerian health practioner..dem go use work wound you...on call night u fit see 10 patients or even more for a and e...u go nearly cry.na Ho go suffer am..you go clear patients tire, monitor Vital signs..collect samples.. do bedside urinalysis...rbs tire..and u fit even present for morning review the next day ppl wey sleep for house go con rubbish your effort they've u move stuff. When u suppose go one private hospital see your 10 to 20 patients per day and even earn the same or more and prepare for your exams and japa go better country..when the govt is serious let the Dr's know

Two doctor cousins of mine japa 2 months ago. Almost every family in Nigeria get 1 or 2 persons wey Don japa. It's a japa season.

Good.

Nigeria should stop subsidising anything. They should let everything come in form of loan.

Some people might choose to pay outrightly while some might opt for the loan which has to be paid back.

That is the only way forward.

When reasonable people are talking, a crested idiot like you should learn to steer clear. Your ignorance is embarrassing and completely making you go insane.

This report came from people who went there for oversight assignment and came up with their findings. yet, a cretin like you have the audacity to say it is false. Show us evidence of your own story to prove that they lied.

How can you support a criminal like thîefnubu without being senseless. That is your stock in trade.

hire native doctors and pastors Nigerians give more respect to them than our dictors you would see the average nigerian giving all he has to religious and traditiinal scammers for miracles funny people

What you are saying is silly and impractical

What is practical is for universities to charge students correctly and remove any so called imaginary subsidy.
Have you got concrete figures for the subsidy? What is the education budget per univeristy student in Nigeria? I believe you are educated and know how to use Google

Check Education budget for universities and divide it by the number of students in Universities in Nigeria that way you are talking with facts and figures

Why not say Victor Osimhen should not Japa after all he too was developed with subsidized training?

Is it only doctors that Japa? are they the only ones that benefit from so called subsidy? What of Engineers and IT specialists and other graduates?

The simple solution is that students should pay the market cost of their education even if it means taking loans not passing some stupid law to refund subsidy

Subsidy that you don't have figures for

From year one to graduation
does the Federal government spend one thousand dollars per student?

Damn. LUTH's CMD was at Unilorin's induction in July decrying Japa. Quite surprising his backyard is even best hit.

On the off side, though, dear doctors, stop japaring. It's discouraging and unkind. The government train you costly and you're leaving. Don't be callous.

Dear Government, listen to the yearnings of the doctors and follow suit. It's a malady and malevolent stifling them of their full rights that makes it tough not to consider other options.

Dear (possible) patients, for your sake, shun things that get you to be in the hospital, need medical help. Exercise right, drink water above carbonated drinks, shun alcohol, avoid smokes of first and second class, reduce sugar, reduce sun exposure, check your vitals regularly, think less to avoid hypertension but don't come out here constituting nuisance, reduce fatty consumables...

Why are you pleading for them not to Japa . Is the government doing enough? They can award themselves #5billion to buy SUV within a twinkle of an eye bought can't pay nurses and doctors...hypocrisy everywhere.

I guess you aint a doc, that's why u can afford to write that.
If u have an opportunity to get rid of a toxic relationship, would you ignore it? My relationship with this country(and my patients, as an extention) is quite disturbing. We get poor pay, we get abused by patients etc. If u were in such a situation, would you stick around?

Which government train them?
Naa government pay them fees.. abi naa free them go medical college?

Make Una no dey type rubbish oo

spiSeyi:
A state of emergency should be declared on major the health sector . Nigeria's medical studies are the cheapest in the world, the government spends a lot of funds to train these ppl to be one of the best and after a few years in service, they jakpa even though they are one of the highest-paid professionals because no Medical doctor earns below 250k as we speak.
My verdict is this no medical doctor should be allowed out of this country until after 10yrs of service.
As for the government we should empower our traditional medical care, traditional medical doctors can be of good service. Public officers and politicians foreign medical trips should also be discouraged because the money used for foreign medical trips can also be used to create a good working conditions for health workers
North Korean mode should be activated to curtail this nonsense

With this mindset, no wonder Nigeria is floundering. Someone would jump into a discourse, spouting totally incorrect info and some harebrains would believe them.
Where did u get the info Nigerian medical training is the cheapest worldwide? Are you even aware medical students tuition is the highest compared to other students? Some of my medical students parents sold lands to see them through med school and when they are required to return the investment by taking care of their parents, you tell them to stay behind in Nigeria and suffer? Are you for real? And who told you we are the best paid professionals? And where in the good fuvk name did you get the info no Nigerian doc is paid below 250k? Have you asked in the private sector what they get paid?
So if you restrict docs less than 10 years, why not restrict lawyers, engineers etc? Abi government no subsidize their training too?
Rubbish!

blowjohn:


U don't get the point, do u?
Even if jobs plenty for Port Harcourt or borno or Ibadan or wherever we no dey go.


U know why?


I cannot be doing the work of 30 people.


If u like pay me 500k per month, I still won't work in a teaching hospital where I will have 40 patients to do rounds for in the morning before my consultant shows up by 9am

Only 40 patients? Una no get patients nah. Some get 100. Plus post op case and clinic

Why won't they japa, is Nigeria a country?


They won't provide condusive environment for professionals to work but expect them to perform magic.......All they know how to do is loot.

Keep raising alarm. Don’t improve standard of living

What on earth will make a healthcare workerwho’s earning more than 150x the income in somewhere like USA for example and with better standard of living leave their opportunity to slave away for peanuts and ingratitude?

MT:


That is the problem with you medical doctors - Superiority complex.

In your warped mind, you think it is your profession that is the most difficult to master. You better stop being delusional. Who says you can understand the abstract nature of my own profession?

I was being fair in my submission. I stated clearly I had no issue with medical practitioners relocating but you cannot relocate at the expense of taxpayer's money.

It costs money to train a doctor and you got this on the cheap from the Nigeria Government, only for you to bail out under whatever excuses, without repaying the cost of your training. That is not fair. I have offended you because I suggested govt should make you repay back the debt of your training. That is the right, fair thing to do.

Which profession in Nigeria has it good? Which profession gets the commensurate salary? So all professionals should depart because the infrastructures are not there? You are free to go but the Government should force the doctors from repaying the cost of their training.

Nigeria cannot afford to be the training ground for other western nations.

Cheap? Did you train in a university? What was the school fees of your medical students then compared to yours? Answer this question, while switching on your brain.
You can't expect someone to spend such a lot of money and sit behind in Nigeria with a paucity of funds

Our Nigerian leaders, in all tiers, are very selfish. They don't want to carry out recruitment, they want to save the money for themselves but they are here raising alarm for some silly reason.

Many hospitals in Nigeria have been understaffed for years but they refuse to carry out public recruitment.

Dammmmmmmmnnnn it!
No thanks to the useless govt of self serving THIEVES AND BLOODTHIRSTY RULERS masquerading as leaders!

Heaven knows that I am only here in this hell hole because of lack of transportation fare.

Japa is a must. We leave or die trying.

No hope.

I knew the man was talking with his tongue in his cheeks when he was talking about the "grass being greener here too". Someone who has some certifications and skills from abroad coming to tell Doctors not to japa can't be taken seriously. The health system is very bad, consultants, senior regs and regs are japaing.

Are medical doctors paying commensurate fees in school ?.

Assuming you are a medical doctor, do not be an ingrate to the Nigeria Government who contributed towards your training.
