Rewawriters01:
We spend 4 to 6 years in the university studying, only to come out to look for job and sometimes we don't get that job.

Even if we get the job, we are being underpaid.

Life in Nigeria now is very hard that even if you are being paid N100,000 you will still struggle to survive.

How many people even get paid such an amount.

For you to survive in Nigeria you need a high paying skill to solve high paying problems.

And copywriting is one of them.

Copywriting is using the power of the written words to start, enhance or extend a relationship in sales.

Everything you see around you today are product of copywriting.

Facebook ads, bill boards, Tv adverts Radio jingles, magazines, to mention a few.

With Copywriting you work with foreign clients and get paid in dollars.

Just imagine being paid a whooping $500 just to write a letter.

That is about N250,000, and you can do this in less than 24 hours.

But what if i tell you that you can become a copywriter in 3 months with the right training and dedication?

Would you like to tap from this ever growing industry?

I would be holding a 3 day free class in Copywriting and LinkedIn marketing starting on Monday 18th of Oct.2021.

LoneWolf200:
Good looking stuffs; to all my fellow naijaians if your motive and prayer to God is to make you rich in other to mismanage, flex and travel out mannerlessly God wont even trust you with kingdom riches except you're willing to pay the price from the devil'side.Most pple are praying to have money to travel out and enjoy their lives for their selfish interest not to make good impact.

I rest mycase.

Kindly respect yourself and guide your tongue. Don’t insult my family. You can stay your mind without been rude. I have heard many older medical doctors say the younger ones are going into medicine because of salary and it’s the obvious fact.

You’re the bitter person here because of background. I can’t be arguing with you.

CorperKola:

dey deceive yourself there, nurse and doctor plenty well wey dey find job.
no be only una go school

omonnakoda:
How is your bitterness relevant here?
Only you your whole family is WHO.

Your father is professor you sister is intern your grandfather is brainsurgeon. Did they become doctors to escape poverty?

You sound really embittered

Avoid bitterleaf soup

SIRTee15:


Healthcare has beyond all these thinking u expressing...

In advanced countries, nursing practioners see patients and run their clinic independently. Specialist nurses do routine surgical procedures like endoscopy. First contact physiotherapist now handle most non surgical orthopaedic cases.
Gone are days of consultants or even doctors doing everything. Healthcare is now multidisciplinary oriented.

Registrar doctors practically run the hospital. A medical registrar holds the night bleep in hospitals. He's the doctor running the show at night- emergencies, cardiac arrest, acute cases...name it. U have to be good and know your stuff to carry that bleep. Ive met a lot of nigerian medical registrars here in uk. So I dont know where u get that info that nigerian doctors in uk are not good.

Besides, GP is a specialty on its own, and probably the most lucrative. U can easily pull over 150 thousands pounds in a yr if u hardworking. Its also the only specialty in uk where u can have your own practice. Maybe thats why nigerian doctors are rushing into the specialty.

Your narrative is not only spurious but reeks of jealousy. I really don't understand what u have against doctors, but its unnecessary.
In the 21st century, there are other professions more rewarding than doctors. Why not discover yours, rather wasting futile effort trying to bring down another noble profession.

dohyn:
I can see 2 or so individuals on this thread spouting rubbish confidently. That your father is a consultant or you've been to a clinic in Austria does not make you knowledgeable about health care in the Western world.

1) a lot of Nigerian doctors in the UK choose GP because it's the quickest route(3years)to become a specialist in the Uk. They have wasted years in Nigeria already, it would be foolhardy to expect someone in his 30s to go start 7 years surgical training in the UK.
That being said, we still have Nigerians doing training in other specialities, though it's roughly 25% of the total number of Nigerians in UK Training.

2) Registrars are the driving force of any tertiary hospital anywhere in the world. You can take that to the bank. And a medical registrar is THE main guy in UK hospitals.

3) again, I implore my colleagues in final year, start your japa plans with IELTS in final year. You won't regret it.

Nigeria and Nigerians will sort themselves out.

Benwems:

I really don’t know if they use the term house officer but she’s doing her intern or whatever they call there and she’s not been paid. I would try to get more accurate details from here. Plus in 2009, my first cousins was doing his residency in USA as an emergency doctor, he told us they don’t pay resident doctors in USA but we didn’t believe and I’m not very sure but I will also ask my sister.

Benwems:
I don’t know about India but house officers are not paid in USA. My sister is doing her intern in USA. And you are misinforming people. The issue is registrars (especially senior registrars) and consultants do not like working. At the end the push the work load to junior registrars and interns. But instead of tackling the issue at hand, you are blackmailing and lying on social media saying interns are suffering and yet no salary like it’s the Nigeria government that made them to be suffering.

Benwems:

You are the person misinforming people And you the person talking trash. Registrars on night shift are not meant to go to bed. No talking trash. It is because an average Nigerian is gullible that is the reason you doctors and people Brian wash them. Your talking of registrars becoming consultants, they learn from their consultants, as questions, read their books, consultants explain to them the diagnosis and prognosis with time the gather sufficient experience with the number of cases they have seen. Write required exams and if they pass become consultants. I will not argue with you. My father is a medical doctor from Germany. He’s a consultant and a professor. I’m not talking out of ignorance. I have also been to India and seen how their health system is run. Lying that resident doctors are the driving force of the health world wide is a big lie. People go to specialist for consultation not registrars. What happens is that there is usually 1-2 registrars with the consultant Learning from the specialist. It’s only in Nigeria , people consultant registrars because the consultants have refused to come to work. In the consulting room, it’s usually you and the specialist. You can even politely tell the consultant that you want some privacy that you want the registrar to leaving and the registrar will leave. I have done the twice. No big deal. It’s in the theatre that they are most needed to gain one on one experience and knowledge. Stop the lies and propaganda.

PAWG:
What’s good for Bala is good for Bulus, doctors should finish school/training before being paid please. FG and states can’t keep paying these guys to carry file and and be moving about aimlessly in public hospital wards.

Spite me of you may, I’ve said it

mamatwiny:
Truth is that it is unpaid in even developed countries. It is a placement.

But if I were a medical doctor, nothing will ever make me practise in Nigeria.

Coldie:

Shutup is anything wrong with if the doctors sacrifice for the country?

Is everything all about money

Uncleodi:
This should be on the front page for those who are against brain drain of doctors to see.

This government is good at making unreasonable policies without knowing the implications.

The worst of it all is that the document was signed by a doctor who was paid salaries as a house officer

supportnija:

Op some of you are funny, the only doctor who leaves Nigeria are the one who could not get Job, OP after tax their take home is not better than those in Nigeria..Some of resident take home is not less than N800000 excluding allowance

booscy:


Abeg shift.

Nigerians have been surviving by mixing drugs from CHEMIST shops or drinking AGBO concoctions.

DO WE HAVE A HEALTHCARE SYSTEM?

Taa make we hear word.
Many HAVE DIED PREMATURELY via the carelessness and trial and error experimental by these people ABEG!!!!

Yet their services are not affordable.

DrFunmisticGlow:
well then.
It seems that going to medical school is no longer worth the risk..

Everybody will now want to be an engineer.

Hopefully this means they will no longer be used as houseboys and girls in teaching hospitals.

They will no longer do calls especially those 96hr straight calls.

This is all shades of bleeped up.

Dear prospsective jambites. Medicine is no longer worth its high cutoff mark. Go and do engineering and IT.

Housemanship is not studentship. How dumb are these elites?

booscy:
Dem don too chop abeg.

Why are they complaining?

Other fresh graduates wey no see shishi nko?
For NYSC that year Dem go dey oppress fellow corps members.

Even me wey dey comment ITF still dey owe me my fifteen thousand naira Industrial training stipend since 2008.

In a shock move that has left the medical community in Nigeria dazed, nimedhealth.com.ng can authoritatively report that the federal government of Nigeria through the National Council of National of Establishment (NCE) has stopped the salaries of medical house officers, dental house officers, nurse interns, pharmacist interns, medical laboratory science interns and NYSC doctors.

This means, the salaries of all health interns in Nigeria health institutions including that of house job have been removed from the payroll of the federal civil service. In case you still don’t understand this piece of information, the federal government is saying housemanship (a paid mandatory one year service for fresh medical graduates) is now part of the continued training for doctors and other interns and therefore , they are no longer under any obligation to pay them salaries.

Before now, a house officer is on consolidated medical salary scale (CONMESS). With this decision, the federal government have removed house officers from the salary scale saying they will no longer pay HOs…

This information is contained in document dated 12th of April, 2021 and released by the National Council of Establishment (NCE is the highest decision making body in the civil service and duly signed by the head of civil service Dr. Folashade Yemi-Esan….who is surprisingly a doctor that graduated as the best graduating dental student from the University of Ibadan in 1987.

Now, the government is saying housemanship and other health internships is a form of “studentship” and not supposed to be a paid job…

The Press Release:

INTERNSHIP PROGRAMME IN THE CIVIL/PUBLIC SERVICE

The National Council on Establishments (NCE) at its 42nd meeting held from 30th November 4th December, 2020 in lkeja, Lagos State reviewed the current status of internship programmes/housemanship/NYSC Doctors in the Service, and approved their removal from the
Schemes of Service as posts attracting grade levels in the salary structure.

The Council based its decision on the grounds that the period of these programmes/services form part of the trainings in their respective professions.

Interns shal, however, be considered for the payment of allowance to be determined by the National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission.

This approval will be reflected in subsequent edition of the Schemes of Service.

Signed

Dr. Folashade Yemi-Esan

Head of the Civil Service of the Federation”

This latest decision is not unrelated to the recent outcry, social media hashtags, and even open protests by house officers following the non- payment or half payment of their salaries after the centralisation by the medical and dental council of Nigeria (MDCN)…many health experts cited the the lack of cooperation of the hospital CMDs with the MDCN as the cause of the sour development. In the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital and Jos University Teaching Hospital for example, house officers and other interns carrying banners, took to the premises of the management of the hospital to protest their financial hardship as a result of non-payment of their salaries.

Now that the FG has banned house officers from earning salaries, what does the future hold for young medical graduates and also interns of other health professionals?

I have not heard of the b4, will check them out but the 10k is gone already. Are you in UK? If yes we can meet. If you are in Lagos we can meet next month.

I do have pounds always and I have buyers but nothing wrong in widening my horizon.

Eke40seven , pompido, weirdarkhitekt and the rest have done a whole lotta justice with this thread. I just confirmed my admission 4 masters in intl business & mgt. (Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences). No Uniassist stress nor sending of docs + Nipost/DHL wahala anyways, scanned all and sent, luckily enough was offered a position. Waiting for the hard copy to hit 9ja dis wk. But I have a dilemma. I currently have admissions for Masters in Luxembourg and Canada as well. That of Lux is €200 per session while that of Canada is $3-4k per year. Now, dis German admission is tuition free. Considering
1. the ease of visa processing & higher rate of securing Visa,
2. better integration into the system
3. Standard of education
4. Better welfare after grad as omo Naija

Which will the house advice me to follow?

BTW, Econs in Lux, while Rural dev in Canada. All taught in English language.

Advice needed from the ancestors.
