Your posts are entirely wrong. Entirely, entirely wrong.

I'm a medical doctor, I'm doing this just to educate you and others that may read your posts later.

Most Nigerian certificates are acceptable in the West. The exams health workers write is to establish their proficiency and fitness to practice in those countries, and not for an additional education.

A medical doctor who trained abroad would have to write a professional exam organized by the MDCN before he/she would be able to practice in Nigeria.

Only a few countries respect international medical degrees without requesting for further examinations. For example, a doctor who has practiced in the UK for up to 2 years or so would be fit to practice in places like NZL and Australia without taking further exams. See?

Your assertion that Nigerian doctors only work in care homes unless they retrain abroad is unbelievably wrong, please. There are many Nigerian doctors working with the NHS with their university certificates... all they need to do is to pass IELTS and PLAB.

Hope this helps.

When Niger sent the ungrateful idiot to the elite military academy in Paris to study he wasn’t aware then, that France their colonial master was the one sponsoring his education?

Chinjo2:
Yet you refuse to come back to Nigeria.
Please let us swap job. Come and take over my job in Nigeria while I take over yours in UK.

Do I sound like a Trump supporter to you? Abi astigmatism is fogging up your sight?
Maybe comprehension is your problem, what Trump did is very rare in US elections as opposed to it being the norm in Nigeria.
This is the sad reality, politicians like Obi are still going around making insinuations about an election they clearly lost.
You can cry until you turn green in your eyes but this is the truth.
PS: Mind your language before I report you and have you banner till year 2045.

What about your papa blokos ? He has to comment na ? Idiat !!

Usmanovic95:
So you are the patriot right? I will definitely want to know your operational definition of patriotism. What do you guys smoke to come up with this defense; a president announce removal of subsidy in his inaugural speech as president,when he doesn't have an economic team, no plan to cushion the effect it will have on the citizen, no back up plan if it turns out counterproductive. But now it has turn out counterproductive but you still want people to be singing his praise like cheerleaders. You guys are the real enemies of this country.

Davido, a global icon and one of Nigeria’s most celebrated artists, holds significant sway over millions worldwide. His dual identity—born in Atlanta, Georgia, and raised in Nigeria—affords him a unique perspective. However, with influence comes responsibility, especially for someone awarded the national honor of Officer of the Order of the Niger (OON) for his contributions to the Nigerian entertainment industry. His recent comments, where he expressed discouragement about African Americans relocating to Nigeria, underscore a need for caution and diplomacy.

The Importance of Constructive Criticism

No one disputes the challenges Nigeria faces—economic instability, infrastructural deficits, and political strife, to name a few. These are realities that Nigerians live daily. But as a public figure, especially one benefiting immensely from Nigerian support, Davido has a responsibility to critique constructively. Comparing the slums of Nigeria to the struggles of the United States could have been an opportunity to highlight resilience, entrepreneurship, or the emerging entertainment industry’s vibrancy.

Rather than casting a shadow on the motherland, Davido could have adopted a balanced tone:
• Acknowledge challenges honestly without exaggeration.
• Highlight the opportunities for growth and investment.
• Emphasize the sense of community and culture that defines Nigeria.

Davido’s Platform: A Double-Edged Sword

Davido’s platform has elevated Nigerian music globally. His fan base in Nigeria forms the foundation of his success, and it is their unwavering support that propelled him into international stardom. To discourage African Americans from engaging with Nigeria, a country that has embraced him as one of its leading ambassadors, risks alienating his core supporters.

While the United States grapples with homelessness, racial inequality, and mass incarceration, American artists like Jay-Z, Beyoncé, or Chris Brown rarely, if ever, disparage their homeland on international platforms. Their approach is one of advocacy, highlighting issues without denigrating their roots.

Immaturity and Consequences

Davido’s comments might seem candid, but they come across as tone-deaf given his stature and role. To suggest that African Americans avoid Nigeria entirely could:
• Harm tourism and cultural exchange efforts.
• Damage the perception of Nigeria globally.
• Alienate his Nigerian fans, whose loyalty underpins his career.

It is not alarmist to state that if Nigerians boycotted his music, his career trajectory could shift dramatically. The entertainment industry thrives on goodwill, and losing the support of one’s home base can be career-ending.

The Need for an Apology

As someone conferred with a national honor, Davido must hold himself to a higher standard. A public apology would go a long way in mending fences. It’s not about suppressing valid criticism; it’s about expressing it in a way that uplifts rather than tears down. His handlers and media team must ensure that his statements align with his role as a cultural ambassador.

A Call for Advocacy, Not Dismissal

Davido has the power to advocate for change. He can:
• Highlight areas where African Americans or other diasporans could contribute to Nigeria’s development.
• Use his platform to call for better governance and investment.
• Show the vibrant aspects of Nigeria alongside its challenges.

Rather than discouraging engagement with Nigeria, Davido should foster dialogue and inspire hope. Advocacy, not dismissal, is the hallmark of a mature and impactful leader.

His style of interview is similar to BBC HARDTALK, and it's perfectly appropriate Politicians and their reps should have nothing to fear if they have nothing to hide. He was not rude, rather he was pushy and wanted him to listen and answer the questions.

Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown.

They are investigating his sponsors and donors and he may be one of them .
