LeoDeKing:

Which one is per capita again? They are talking of poor people per area you are talking about per capita just to continue deceiving yourself.

Why not apply same per capita to calculate for the whole of Nigeria?

You can go hide behind per capita to continue deceiving yourself.

Southeast has a small land mass with only 5 states so it is expected. Do you believe that the north east and North West is richer than southwest?

Gathering of potential suicide bombers

Gajagojo:

Practising medicine is not compulsory. They are still graduates and can work in any industry
You can become a banker or politician so is not compulsory
You cannot say doctors cannot become governor, senator or president if they don't serve five years
Forbidden from practising medicine anywhere in the world is your interpretation . Have you seen the bill. There are always options You can choose to acquire another country's citizenship and renounce Nigerian citizenship
You can choose not to practise medicine and to study philosophy afterwards. You would get your transcripts even if they seize your degree. After graduating if I decide to do ICAN or an MBA nothing stops me. Lawyers finish law school and don't practise so no biggie.
You can get your transcripts go to another country repeat the final year and get a new degree that is already happening today. You need to define COMPULSORY.
NYSC is compulsory subject to exceptions. That are choice based and restrictive. This would be too .

Somebody spent 7-8 years learning a craft and you are saying that if they don't partake in forced labour they can choose other means of livelihood. This APC people, Una head no correct oh

Gajagojo:

What is the definition of compulsory? And how is it different in the case of this proposal for doctors?

Nysc you can choose to opt out and work privately, create a business, leave the country etc without any government interference, only that you aren't allowed to work in government parastatal without your nysc certificate.

This case is different, you are forbidden from practicing medicine anywhere in the world except you serve Nigeria for 5 years

Gajagojo:
really?

It is not

Gajagojo:
is NYSC slavery?

Nysc isn't compulsory. Secondly, how about doctors trained in private universities?

Gajagojo:
is NYSC slavery?

Nysc isn't compulsory

Good luck to him but that is the exception not the reality.

Lies again. He does communicate, he is not the only one

FreeStuffsNG:

You left the substance of the issue and went for insult. The taxpayers have been enslaved by subsidizing their education for so long and it not too much to ask that they fulfil their obligation to the taxpayers. If your parents are rich and successful, nothing stops them from sending you overseas so we can subsidize those who can give back to the tax payers.

You can't force someone to work for you. That is the definition of slavery

RaptorX:
Any Nigerian doctor that mistakenly go to Canada will be driving uber or doing security job for the next decade under the guise of no Canadian experience, bloody wicked country pretending they need professionals only that they need professionals to be doing menial jobs because they feel it is better for their society.

It is a lie!! My secondary school classmate left for Canada and he is practicing medicine

Dvmb quote from agbado munching agbero. Don't doctors pay taxes? Aren't the doctors giving back to society by paying their taxes ? Do you APC supporters think at all ?

Where is the video and nudes. That's why I am here. I have my vaseline ready

FreeStuffsNG:
Hmmm.

This is good news. UK is not helping matters too. They have been indicted of enslaving Nigerian doctors.

5 Years Before Going Abroad Doctors Bill: A Clinical Stitch In Time

Nigeria's House of Representatives in its tweet on 6 April, announced that a bill sponsored by Rep Ganiyu Abiodun Johnson to prevent Nigerian-trained medical or dental practitioners from being granted full licences until they have worked for a minimum of five years in the country has passed second reading at the Nigerian House of Representatives https://twitter.com/HouseNGR/status/1643996023885533184?s=20

My First Reaction

At last! It came late since I wrote to recommend that this law be passed for years now but it is still better it is coming this late than never. I support this bill be passed as law and the President must quickly assent to the law for immediate implementation and subsequent domestication by every state of the federation .

Cuba has such a law and it worked for all government-trained doctors as they require official persmission to relocate overseas after being trained by the Cuban government https://www.reuters.com/article/us-cuba-usa-migrants-healthcare-idUSKBN0TK58B20151201

The unregulated exit of Nigerian government-trained doctors here in our country has almost crashed the system yet there are several reports and complaints that they are being enslaved overseas.

Will The Law Be Effective?

The way the law will be effective is to delay the process from when medical induction oath taking takes place to when you recieve provisional and full permanent medical license to practice as a medical doctor.

All travels by those set of doctors covered by the law will be required to get official permission from the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) for travel within that period and the list to be shared with the Legislature and Immigration service on a periodic basis.

The law will make defaulters who flout the 5-year moratorium liable to conviction if they leave Nigeria to permanently reside and transfer their tax-expense acquired skillset to a foreign country before 5 years.

Anyone still doubting if this law will work should ask any professional this rhethorical question : You do not want a criminal record as a professional or would you want to be prosecuted?

The ship has set sail and the rest of the loose ends will be sorted out even though I suggest that this law be accelerated.


What Are Nigerians Saying?

There are two courts in the land, the more powerful one is the court of public opinion in the scheme of sociological perspectives.

Those who ignore the power of public opinion later realised too late.

There are some erstwhile powerful trade unions that underestimated the power of public opinion and today not enjoying the public sympathy.

That is why I am staying on the fundamental and basic question of "Must the taxpayers lose on all sides?" I am not about 'whataboutism'.

Like this problem of young doctors leaving immediately after training which remained unaddressed until now, I believe that one day, the issue of paying huge subsidies on petrol and electricity to only a set of Nigerians while millions of other Nigerians without roads and electricity have no equivalent subsidy yet forced by the system to pickup the social cost and burden of the debt and fiscal capture of state resources for a privileged compatriots will get to this level of national bill too.

Everyone of those with elitist education seem to want to take advantage of the system and when you ask them a basic question on why should a tax payer train you and when you finish your training you immediately take your skill to another country, what I recieve are cocky answers telling me "whatabout" so so so and so in response.

To make it mandatory for young medical doctors to stay back at least 5 years after being trained with tax payers money is not too much to ask from you if you attend government universities where your education was heavily subsidized.

Right Family Values On Decline.

Parents who scatter their homes and raise children who grow up to run far away from home are on trial as well. It is not just the young professionals using the japa syndrome as smokescreen.

It is abnormal and dysfunctional for a young man and/or woman to finish school and immediately want to move several thousand kilometres away from his parents and deny those who trained him of his skill. It is against natural justice and these young professionals will lose.

In my opinion, this law asking them to stay will turn out to be a blessing in disguise for them.

The doctors are not slaves, they can choose not work if they do desire. The can choose what to do with their lives. This is forced labour and it is archaic. Well you are an APC supporter so I don't expect you to have empathy and common sense
