Dalohad:
I am in the healthcare system and know how it works and even the politics involved.

Doctors-in-training are still students. It does not water down their contribution.
Nigeria Physicians have always had a side hustle, one of the side hustle is playing politics with the salaries and emolument of other non-physician medical and health professionals, which never happens anywhere in the saner climes.

If your Resident physicians have enough time on your hands to tell the government how much to pay Pharmacists, Nurses, Medical Scientists, Physio et. al. How busy do you want us to believe you are?

What you have said are not based on facts rather these are words of jealousy wrongly directed at doctors because of hospital politics. Doctors do not determine the salaries and emolument of other health professionals. If you are so sure about that please present verifiable proof on that.
How can you be working less hours and you still want to earn as much as someone who is working almost 4 times the hours you are putting in and also more skilled than you?
Is that not witchcraft?

Dalohad:
Residents are students in the logical sense. They still undergoing training to become consultants.
That training is being paid for by the government..

I respectfully disagree. Referring to resident doctors as "students" undermines their significant contributions to the medical field. A more accurate description would be "doctors in training." They are essential to the healthcare system, as they carry out a substantial amount of the work, and thus they deserve fair compensation. Think of it like a graduate trainee at a company—those positions are compensated too.

Have you considered the implications of having underpaid doctors? Do you truly value your life and the lives of your loved ones?

Imagine facing a medical emergency and finding that the on-call doctor is unavailable because they're busy pursuing a side hustle to make ends meet. It's a risky proposition to sacrifice the livelihoods of our healthcare professionals for the sake of saving government funds. Current day Nigeria you'd need at least 1.5M as pay for our doctors. Even Ghana pay their list doctor $800 currently and Nigeria is still struggling with $250 dollars a month for a doctor? You might not fully grasp the consequences until you find yourself in need of urgent care.

The same government you wish to save money for have access to private jets for healthcare abroad when they encounter the slightest issue, where they can see well-paid doctors.

Sounds good for arguments until you have an emergency and there's no doctor around to attend to you.

This comparison lacks a sound understanding of the realities faced by doctors, particularly residents, in Nigeria. When we analyze their compensation in relation to their working hours, it becomes apparent that doctors are among the lowest-paid workers in the country.

In most hospitals, a resident physician is typically required to handle one weekday call and one weekend call at least twice a month. Additionally, during weeks without a weekend call, they may manage an average of three weekday calls. This rigorous schedule leads to an astonishing workload that averages around 90 hours per week.

When you compare this to other workers in both the hospital and public sectors, it is clear that residents are significantly underpaid based on the hours they work. For instance, during a single shift, a resident often collaborates with as many as six different sets of nurses, all of whom may be on different shift schedules. This complexity further emphasizes the demanding nature of their roles.

Given these factors, it is unreasonable to expect that their earnings should be similar to those of other public sector employees, many of whom do not face the same intensity and volume of work. To foster a fair assessment, it is critical to consider the average working hours of other public sector workers and recognize the unique challenges faced by resident doctors.

Dalohad:
You are very correct.

This one na sympathy Olympics the resident physicians wan do.

Make them dey talk true sometimes..

Let them compare it to what an Assistant Director of Pharmaceutical Services or Assistant Director of Medical Laboratory Services earn in our hospitals, and tell themselves the truth.

The assertion you're presenting is fundamentally flawed, and its validity dissolves under scrutiny. To the uninformed, it may seem plausible, but a closer examination reveals a stark disconnect from reality.

Let's examine the numbers: as of today, the exchange rate stands at 1650 to a dollar. Simple arithmetic based on the figure you are flaunting reveals that this translates to 775.50 per liter of pms (1650 x 0.47). Meanwhile, fuel prices have skyrocketed, averaging well above 1000 naira per liter.

It's crucial to separate illusion from fact. We mustn't deceive ourselves with inaccurate figures being thrown around by propagandists. The disparity between these figures is staggering, and it's essential to acknowledge this reality rather than perpetuating misleading information.

I'm compelled to correct your blanket statement, not for your sake, but for those who've received offers that contradict your claim. Before making sweeping assertions, let's examine the facts. Have you worked as an ESL teacher before, particularly in a public school setting? If so, what was your compensation package like?

I suspect your experience is limited to private training centers, which differ significantly from public schools in terms of work hours, responsibilities, and remuneration.

Let's not mislead others with such generalizations that " No foreign teacher with ESL certification earns 7k". In reality, public schools offer packages like that, As a matter of fact I just saw an offer of 8,000 kwai per month my agent posted just moments ago. I personally know several ESL teachers from America, New Zealand, and Australia who've embraced these opportunities for the flexibility and work-life balance they provide.

Let's distinguish between private training centers and public schools, acknowledging the unique benefits and compensation structures of each. By doing so, we'll provide accurate guidance for those navigating the ESL teaching landscape in China.

Let me explain this your statement to you,
"When you come newly, people will ask you, Did you come to live or buy and go?"

Most people that comes to Guangzhou usually come in on a business visa and many of them are on a 1 month Visa. But their intention is not to come for 1 month and return back to "bongo" their intention is purely for "japa" reasons but they did so with the wrong visa type.

So any "old G" around will ask you, "Did you come to live or buy and go?"
if your decision is to remain then you tend to overstay your visa and you become a "Sampa".

No body ask if you want to extend your visa in Guangzhou when you are new. Because you will likely get a 10 days exit otherwise it will cost you a lot and most people who are "japaring" won't be able to sustain a visa extension every month considering the cost in Guangzhou.

So, when they ask, 'Did you come to live or buy and go?', they're really asking: will you overstay your visa and become a 'Sampa' (someone who overstays their visa)? It's a pivotal moment, revealing the true intentions of newcomers. Make sense?"

Let's clarify a crucial point, my friend. While 'sampa' indeed originates from the Igbo language, its meaning takes on a different connotation in Guangzhou. It specifically refers to individuals who have overstayed their visa period, it's like using the term 'aduro' it literally means asylum. It's essential to understand this context.

Notably, people with valid permits in Guangzhou never identify themselves as 'sampa.' So, I must respectfully point out the inconsistency in your narrative. Your claims of living in Guangzhou on a business visa seem to be at odds with the reality of your situation. I'm not making assumptions; your previous posts reveal a discrepancy. Visa extensions for a year in Guangzhou come with significant costs, and I'm afraid your online presence suggests that's not a feasible option for you. Let's embrace honesty and accuracy in our conversations, my friend rather than result to name calling. I mean what kind of relevance do you offer, that you think I seek?

sonofsteven:
You are just mentioning me etc...

If you are a real IGBO born in OTU or in ONITSHA... I'm sure you will understand the meaning of SAMPA...

And for the umpteenth time

Abiaram sampa..meaning in came to live

There are other slangs for that visa type and refugee own.. stop confusing yourself with wetin you think you know.... in slangs, sampa has been in existence for a long time...

When you come newly, people will ask you

Did you come to live or buy and go?

And most igbos in China are mostly anambra wey dey street in onitsha and most use otu language to converse ......

Because you didn't do residence or people you knew didn't do,does not mean everyone didn't do.. people prefer to remain private and learn from the streets,doesn't mean all are same...

I understand that you are trying to seek relevance here, and I'm not against that, but kindly stop thinking in an archaic manner and know this is 2024.... where you stop na where another start(life)... inasmuch as I didn't want to reply you again, I was compelled to

I was asked, if it's school I was in gz for, I replied no,sampa way... if you understand otu slangs as you claimed, it simply meant I came to live and not studying... but honestly I won't blame you because over 90% old visitors had no papers, yall den thought sampa means not having papers... so therefore when you hear sampa, that comes to your head...

GUY YOU NEED TO COMEBACK TO CHINA AND RELEARN AGAIN.....except you were given a BAN

@cue64 I respectfully disagree with your assertion that 7k is a poor offer. While it may not seem like a large salary compared to Western standards, it is actually quite competitive within the context of public schools in China. Many public schools offer salaries in the range of 6k-10k RMB per month, and this often includes free accommodation, meals, and transportation.

Additionally, it's important to consider the cost of living in China when evaluating salary offers. While earning 10k in Shanghai or Beijing may not seem like much, it can actually provide a comfortable living in smaller cities or rural areas where the cost of living is lower.

Overall, it's important to consider the full package of benefits offered, as well as the local context, when evaluating teaching positions in China. This can help provide a more accurate picture of whether a salary offer is fair and competitive.

cue64:
I don’t want to argue honestly so let’s leave it at that, 7k is a poor offer, yes you’re right for the countries you listed, but no one from those countries would come to china to be paid 7 to 10k, just imagine earning 10k in Shanghai or Beijing and you say it’s a good offer..
