sweetilicious:
My In-law was considering Leaving to Australia. The only barrier is that my sister has been promoted to a higher rank with CBN and there is no certainty she will get a job there to be supportive. But they are working on it.

With her experience and certifications, I am confident she will definitely get a job, it is just a matter of time. Of course, one has to weigh the options to make a strategic decision.

There has been a reported massive brain drain in the medical sector in recent years as many medical doctors are leaving the country on daily basis.

Nigerian doctors have been migrating to U.S, Canada, Saudi Arabia, the UK and many other nations across the globe, investigations reveal.

Statistics from General Medical Council (GMC) UK, as at July 2017 shows that over 4,765 Nigerian doctors are working in the UK. This is 1.7 per cent of the total of the UK’s medical workforce.

Also, experts say the ratio of medical practitioners to patients in the country is very low. Official records reveal that Nigeria currently has one doctor to attend to 3, 500 patients in the country, which is a far cry to the WHO recommendation of one doctor to 600 patients.

According to a new survey by Nigerian Polling organization (NOIPolls), 8 out of every 10 medical doctors in Nigeria are currently seeking work opportunities abroad, and this includes junior, mid and senior level doctors in both public and private medical institutions.

The following are the major reasons why Nigerian doctors are leaving in droves:

1. High taxes and salary deductions are one reason, 98% of the respondents gave.

2. 92% of the medical personnel says there is very low work satisfaction in Nigeria.

3. Poor salaries and emoluments are a big problem for 91% of the medical personnel.

4. The knowledge gap in the medical field between Nigeria and these other countries is a source of concern.

5. Poor quality of practice was stated by 8% of Nigerian medical staff as a reason for wanting to leave.

6. Poor relationship among colleagues

7. Inadequate opportunities for career growth

8. Poor working environment

9. Lack of proper infrastructure

10. Poor treatment by government

11. Insecurity.

Nairalander01:
Because there is no job

Abi

Half a loaf is better than none.

1. Because risk terrifies them.

It’s a risk to go somewhere else — “What if it’s even worse?” It’s a risk to try something new. It’s a risk to leave wherever you are and go somewhere else.

2. Because learning something new is hard.
It’s so sad and yet so true.
Most people don’t leave their jobs simply because the thought of having to learn a new process, a new skill set, a new anything is terrifying and exhausting to them.
What a sad way to live.

3[b]. Because they love “the golden handcuffs.”[/b]

One of the greatest double-edged swords of high paying corporate America is what’s called “living with golden handcuffs.”
Your salary is so good, your benefits are so good, your retirement plan is so good, everything is so good that you’re willing to sit in a cubicle hating your life for 8 hours a day simply because, on paper, you’re “living the life.”

4. Because they secretly love to complain.

Another sad truth, but some people love to be miserable.
They find enjoyment in showing up to work and uttering the phrase, “I hate Mondays.” They have learned to love their misery — and as much as they talk about leaving, they never will.


5. Because it would disappoint their parents.

Some of the most talented people end up working jobs they despise simply because they don’t want to disappoint their parents. Or their family. Or their friends. Or anyone else.
So who are you living for, then? Them?

6. Because they’ve overextended themselves.

It’s amazing how much people prioritize having “things” before they have established the lifestyle they want.
They get a job they don’t love, but pays pretty well, and before they know it they’ve got an expensive car payment, high rent, and an expensive lifestyle from which they can’t escape. They want to do something else, but by now they’ve accumulated too much overhead.
And a shift in lifestyle is unthinkable to them.

7. Because they like their “title.”

These people stay with their undesirable job simply because of the title they have.
They would rather be the Vice President of Boring than be seen as someone who is “trying to make their dreams happen.” Because that road is harder, and isn’t about titles at all — and for a lot of people, that’s too much for their ego to bear.

8. Because they have responsibilities now.

They have a wife, three kids, a mortgage, college funds to save for, etc.
By now in their career, they can’t make the move to something else. They’ve crossed the threshold and have decided, “You know what, this is where I am, and that’s that.”
They’re comfortable, and so they stay.

9. Because they fear being wrong.
Or worse, they fear rejection
They care a lot about what people think of them, and the thought of trying to do something unconventional or different they enjoy, and failing, is what keeps them from ever trying in the first place.
