This is no longer the case, MDCN now post doctors for housemanship immediately after graduation

emmyileri:
But are you in Nigeria? I'm a master degree holder in biochemistry too @unilorin 2019. I end up being a teacher in secondary school. You can imagine the frustration

30naira:
I agree with you that no profession guarantees success. But some are more likely to put food on your table than others.

You are probably among the 3% that secure good jobs. But the overwhelming majority in that your field will unfortunately remain unemployed, or do something unrelated to that field, even with a masters degree. Those private companies you mentioned there, how many job openings do they have in a year compared to the number of unemployed applicants?

Hardly would you find a nurse or doctor unemployed, or even working outside their field of study. Although there are lots of under employed ones as well.

I know nurses and doctors in Nigeria who work for multinationals and earn 6 figures in Nigeria. But again, those are the 3%, The exceptions, just like you. But majority will not reach that level. So make decisions based of the rules, not the exceptions.

Sir I'd love to have a word with you, can I drop my WhatsApp number?

Let your friend go do nursing o....
It's just a 3-year investment into her future. That's all.

So this is the way it works...
1. 3 years in the school of nursing
2. Once she passes her registration exam in Nigeria (nursing council exam) and her registration license is out, all she needs to do is to write IELTS (English exam). Once she passes that one to, then she is in hot demand abroad... Easily she can transit into UK...
3. Ofcourse, she will do the UK nursing registration... No much issues with that
4. She can even start working as a nursing assistant (healthcare assistant) while she processes her UK registration
5. Once she passes her UK exams (which is also not difficult), she her PIN and license to practice, she starts making money... All these can be done under 6 months of her UK arrival.
6. She can later enrol for her degrees (Bsc, Msc, PhD whatever) easily online or part-time while working...

I can assure you that she will build a house and buy a car for her parents within 2-3 years of working in the UK, especially if she is not married yet...

She will eternally be grateful to her uncle for the advise...

Na me tell you....

Biochemistry is not a Professional course in Nigeria. Most B.degree holders in Biochem usually further their edu. to masters and PhD in order to read a professional course

NaughtyBrainiac:
Hello All,

A friend studied Biochemistry in one of Nigeria's Federal Universities, she has completed NYSC but she does not have a job yet.

Her brother who currently resides in the UK wants her to enrol in a school of Nursing in Nigeria and she is not happy with what her brother wants.

I asked her if her brother's reason is because Nursing is profitable in the UK and she said YES, that's his reason. The goal is that she'd eventually relocate to the the UK.

My concerns are:

1. Why study a course like Biochemistry and go back to a school of Nursing? Aren't there better alternatives?
2. Most of the people I know that attended school of Nursing always go back to the Univeristy for BSc. Nursing.
3. School of Nursing in Nigeria will take her about 3 years and I am sure she will still need to write some exams before she will be able to work as a Registered Nurse in the UK.

Are there possibilities of moving to the UK to study that version of Nigerian School of Nursing? If yes, how expensive is it?

On the other hand, if she's able to go to the UK for her masters, masters in what course can she apply for (please bear in my that she is a Biochemistry graduate) that would give her chances of securing a good job in the UK ( At least, a kind of job that would still make her earn something close to what Nurses earn)?

Please advise. Thank you

Kwashiman:
I did a honest assessment of the political situation and future of Ndigbo in Nigeria and cane to the conclusion that we're the cause of our own problems politically in Nigeria. What is that problem? We no Sabi play politics the "Nigerian way", let's forget about these entitled rants about the SE been marginalized blah blah blah, the deeper and more salient plight that we face as a region is that we are too loyal almost to a laughable fault, and that's why the North and to some extent the SW will always be ahead of us politically, we're far too emotional than logical. For context, the SE has been giving PDP its bloc votes for years now and what have we gotten in return for years of unyielding loyalty? absolutely nothing! ordinary VP sef we no see to collect...meanwhile the SW knew better to play the game of opposition in all the years they were not in the corridors of power, they patiently waited and stalked for an opportunity to gain political traction and find their ways back in the swing of power...that opportunity finally presented itself in 2015 when they made alliances with the North by merging their opposition party (which was only strong in the SW) with the emerging popular party which was APC at the time, the reward of which produced a VP for them; thus positioning them among other strategic corridors of power along with the North. Even the South South under Jonathan leveraged on the strong loyalty of Igbos to PDP to massively vote Jonathan (an Ijaw man) into power, what stopped PDP from giving power to an Igbo man despite us being a majority ethnic group? Where's that famous think-thank of true Igbo political consciousness that produced true political heavyweights like Azikiwe, Mbonu Ojike, K.O Mbadiwe, Micheal Okpara, Alex Ekwueme etc? Why can't we just ditch our loyalty to PDP and adopt a party like APGA which has its grassroots firmly rooted in the fabrics of the South East, why can't IPOB which has a popular following among lots of youths in the South East use its popularity to actually educate and encourage SE youths to get their PVCs and vote massively for leaders who will first and foremost promote the interest of the people at local and Federal level? Why should IPOB keep trying to threaten people in the East who truly want to vote, thus constantly creating a worrying vacuum of lack of political leadership, participation and voters apathy in the SE?

2023 is around the corner and once again we've put all our eggs in one basket by fooling ourselves to think Peter Obi will get the party ticket to run for president, we all know the North might clinch the ticket again under PDP while we settle for crumbs...why can't the likes of Peter Obi just leave PDP and campaign under a new political party or an already established one like APGA? PDP is the greatest enemy of Igbo political interest as history has proven, and if we don't turn corners fast, we will be left in the dust forever while other regions keep rotating the presidency among themselves.

Lastly, we will NEVER get Biafra by doing useless sit-at-homes, shouting "Biafra or death ",and causing unnecessary in our own region...Nigeria won't care and will only send more battle ready soldiers to our region to cause more chaos and destructions, and don't even crying to UN to come save you when it gets hot cause those ones don't give a toss about Africa's problems, YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN.

Lastly how can we get Biafra in the long term? It's simple! You're a fuCCking majority tribe for goodness sake, learn to play the game the way the North and SW does and stop the emotional blackmail, let's start making alliances with the other 2 big boys and play politics the ruthless way...we've allowed minority tribes among our South South neighbors to play on our intelligence in our daft effort to be "our brothers keepers", and they've produced a president already and might do so again while we are left with nothing but insults and scorn from the same people we've always seen as our brothers. Enough of the emotional politics, nothing is fair in politics (at least when it comes to Nigeria), so why can't we use our numbers and majority status to join the North and play their own brand of politics? Then and only then can we get a shot at power, and with power comes opportunity...maybe then can we have an Igbo president who is sympathetic to the Biafran cause push for constitutional amendments in the legislature to allow for referendum and reconsideration towards secession.

Tell Atiku to his face , shame his dollars

I like SouthSouth leaders for their bravery

Orji Uzor Kalu, Ngige, Pandora. Come and see ya mate

Amalekki:
He was the governor of Lagos State, the largest economy in Nigeria. Also, National leader of a major political partner in the coalition that led to APC and ensured the fall of PDP for the first time in 16 years.

Now tell me who Peter Obi is politically outside Anambra?

shegzy0514:
Real life Peter Obi no go win, just b say na igbo full social media pass that y we think say na him go win. But sha I go still vote for Peter Obi na my man any day

Prettychild:
I am very sure that all these people doing this online polls, 90% of them don’t have PVC. Get your PVC first

Amalekki:
Be realistic. Peter Obi can't stand Tinubu in a presidential election in Nigeria. The Atiku that you diss is the leg that he stands on for tangible recognition outside his South-East region. No matter how polish him, Peter Obi is just another average former governor of a small state in Nigeria. He is okay and will be fine if he can win the presidency but the hype is way above his legacy as governor, nothing special. He is a boy scout besides Tinubu in real life Nigerian politics.

Heavensent01:
with a sellable candidate PDP can, if Soludo was PDP candidate he could have make different


it's very annoying to place those three icons on state election, they won't even need campaign to triumph



with you people mouth, APC almost give Obiano a run for his money in his reelection, there is nothing impossible in politics with right candidate and grassroot political stalwart


PO is a local politician

Peppysco:
You didn't even make any sense. Those online polls don't mean nothing, stop having a false hope with that cos the real voters in the rural areas do not even have access to the internet.

osazsky:

osazsky:
u are very stingy...so when u get ur biafra 2 weeks to election.. u want an igbo president to rule nigeria,then an igbo man will also be the president of biafra..u guys are funny..if a white man wants to be ur president will u agree..so let someone from the south be nigeria president then an igbo man biafra president..una too selfish oga..buhari has promised to give u biafra before election..why is obi fooling himself..u guys dont know wat u want..when the igbo region becomes united we will know nt violence does not count unity..

Iamntasaint:
He can only b president of Biafra. Who dash monkey banana. Sorry we South South would rather vote for a northern than vote for those set of people who think they are wiser n more important than every other tribe.

osazsky:
he was already president when he won the online polls not this unknown irrelevant pig who cant talk to his thugs...u guys should leave presidential matters for nigerians u will get biafra 3 days to nigeria election...the new nigeria president will take it back after one week.simple

VIKTO83:
That's an indication that Obi can't win. In d history of Nigeria nobody had ever won election after winning in online poll.

Peppysco:
You're wrong, Peter Obi will always win on the internet with his chest bragging followers while the real politicians do the talk in real life situations. I swear, with all this hype and anticipations, una go too cry when the time reach

Kyase:
You once stay in the north for 13 years.
I'm a northerner that stays all my life in the north.
Oga you know sabi you dey talk about
The north will vote for obi against tinubu?
I still dey laugh

Ijaya123:
Unfortunately, the delegates won’t be voting online.
