Any doctor in present day Nigeria still refusing to relocate abroad is a FOOL.

Poor pay.
Terrible working conditions.

It is time the Nigerian government places a 10year embargo on the siphoning of Nigerian earned funds to sustain academic infrastructures in UK, US, Canada, and any other country Nigerians are going to for education tourism.

Only a foolish country allow people to ship off funds earned in that economy to benefit another economy, without paying any tax to the economy where the funds was earned.

They will sell property in Nigeria and pocket all the money to go donate to another economy, yet no tax is paid on the sale of that property to the economy where the wealth was acquired.

Imagine all the best income earners in Nigeria spending the bulk of their Nigerian earnings on the undergraduate education of their children or their own postgraduate education abroad, after the heavily subsidized undergraduate education that Nigeria provided them to secure those jobs in Nigeria that funded their ambition to wear winter jackets in Europe and North America?

Any country that does not understand the intricacies of economic national security, will keep wondering why its economy continue to flounder.

Even the countries receiving Nigerian funds know how to prioritize their own national economic security, and make policy changes from time to time to ensure that the academic tourists remain only a source of net foreign remittance into their own economy instead of a net subtractive parasite.

I will say it again, the prevailing time is not one to allow your best income earners take funds out of the Nigerian economy without as much as a 50kobo tax on their destructive drain of our national wealth.

Anyone that wants to go abroad for education should find a way to get a job in that country and raise the funds from the income earned in that country.

CBN should with immediate effect prohibit any transfers from a Nigerian account to any foreign academic institution for a period of 10years, while the government should simultaneously raise the school fees to something tangible that you save for years ahead, instead of the rubbish fees that is not up to the pocket money the students spend in a month.

Or is UK or Canada or US tuition fees for local student the kind of amount that local student will spend on buying burgers in a month?

So why are Nigerian universities charging money for 1month shawarma as annual tuition fees?

Charge well, pay lecturers well, and still have enough to upgrade and maintain the education infrastructure in Nigeria.

Goddammit!

obiekunie01:
they should stop using our reserve to stabilizer Naira.


this problem can be solved within 2 years if we pay attention to agriculture.

The government should disburse grants to farmers nationwide and setup committee to monitor the grant beneficiaries.

by next harvest, food will be plentiful and their will be food surplus.

At a time the exchange rate is stabilizing?

At a time the price of diesel which is one of the things they usually complain about is reducing?

Las las, na dump we go dump una now.

Listened to a few seconds of the video and I can tell she's an IDIIIOT with bad intentions.

First of all, 99% of the People who travel abroad do NOT do it to make money. So the premise of her NONSENSE argument is flawed.

The amount of money that is needed to complete the process of emigration in Nigeria is MIND-BOGGLING! The idea that it's ONLY poor people looking for money that choose to travel to UK, Europe, USA, Canada, etc is just plain DUMB!

It's even dumber when you consider the fact that a 40-year old man is UNLIKELY to receive external support to finance his plans.

People who travel do it to get AWAY from the economic quagmire, political instability, infrastructural collapse and the general LAWLESSNESS that is the hallmark of the Nigerian society.

Put simply, people travel out to get a better quality of life for themselves and their families.

Anyone who thinks people are fleeing Nigeria to make money is just being DELIBERATELY obtuse.

She's advocating for staying in Nigeria and "looking for money in dirty places". She doesn't realize that all the money in Nigeria would make no difference if you fall sick and the hospitals do NOT have ordinary X-ray machine to help with the diagnosis.

For those reading this:

If it enters your body to leave Nigeria and you can afford it, LEAVE! Even if you are 99 years old, LEAVE!

Its safer for a white person to travel through Africa than for an African black to do so.
That is just the bitter truth.
Africans would accommodate,respect and glorify the white person,even in rebel controlled territory,but will see their fellow African embarking on this kind of adventure as just another animal to be maltreated,ill-treated,unaccomodated,raped if it's a female and even murdered.
She should have restricted her adventure to the Western countries.

I bought a can of Guiness Extra Stout for N900 yesterday night

I drank 4 cans

How many agbad0rians can do what I did?

verybadmouth:
simply telling them to stay in their country

seborrhic:
I wouldn't call what Tinubu did on his inaugural address as lack of respect.
I would rather call it the action of a mentally unstable human being.
All other things the Sheik said about Tinubu are the the whole truth.
What he also said about the chronic docility of Nigerians is another bitter truth.
If I were a well to do or prominent person in Nigeria that is not directly affected by Tinubu's policies,I would not even bother calling out Tinubu or Nigerians.
If Nigerians despite this unprecedented level of suffering can not come out enmasse to say enough is enough,them you allow them to continue in their suffering.

Klass99:
The other time you were concerned about finding a serious date/relationship with one of your own (a fellow Naija woman) overseas. You've found one now and you're back again with a different dilemma

You are in the obodo where there's far more advanced technology dealing with fertility matters and the ability for early detection of issues if any. Yet, here you are, asking jamb question, when an honest conversation with healthcare experts and medical tests will help you more than NL.

Some of you will migrate and still carry along your warped African mentality and prejudices that never served you well to your new location, how do you expect to build a new life and thrive if you don't let go of un-helpful beliefs?

Smile4me, I thought you had more sense than this. My post is not meant as an insult but you can do better than bringing this to NL. High five that woman for refusing to have a child out of wedlock, she has a good head on her shoulders, before she ends up being part of the single mother statistics.

Do things right if you mean business. I don't know why at your age you should be looking for more than one child sef. You should be glad if you are able to have even one healthy child, women are not the only ones with fertility issues.

Pls take those kids for DNA testing. Those kids are not yours

Nebes:
I now understand why part of the story offended you. Let me paint a brief picture for you.
Their work is to keep the house clean. They are not involved in the children's care, feeding or cooking major meals. We ( me, wifey and kids) all leave the house 7:30am (school runs) and return 5pm on a good day. Biko how stressful is it to sweep, wash plates and probably hang clothes out to dry and bring them in? The clothes are washed with the washing machine. They have almost 10 hours of unsupervised work a day. We their bosses don't have that kind of luxury. Their evening work is to help prepare dinner and wash up after. They retire 9pm on the average daily.
My opinion is that my house gives them room to be very lazy as there's almost no work. My wife and I stand on our feet working almost throughout the day so we need some help in the evenings. Is that too much to ask for? We bathe, feed and dress up our kids ourselves. I can go on and on. They start begging when we ask them to leave but Rukky appreciated her work and the environment.
