I have been reading people's post for a long time here.
I decided to contribute my quota.
Life was hard for me as a dentist in Nigeria. i decided to leave 2016.
I was earning 90k per month as a dentist combining with another locum earning 40% per case treated. I researched all developed countries as per practicing dentistry there.
The obstacle were numerous. Exam fees, low pass rate, tuition for re -enrolling.
I opted for African countries. Ghana was 1st option; exam fee was $700. I dropped the idea. I tried Sierra Leone, Liberia and Gambia.
Gambia was were breakthrough came.
I was offered a job of 1k usd as a full time dentist from Nigeria.
I migrated 2017.
I'm still in Gambia.
if you are a dentist hoping to leave. Try African countries. Migrating as a dentist is hard.

Find employers in your respective sector. Mail them. That's what I did

Gambia! Nice country! Fine beaches, lots of white women from europe looking for sex.

dannybrasky:


Oyibos are the ones with the dollar,pounds and euros.
They are less concerned about their neighbors

Have it in mind that Gambia is a poor country, but they don't need that our Nigeria attitude of I am value than you.

Secondly, you can easily be jail when you offend the law even traffic light.

Third, two bedroom flat cost 40k naira monthly while a room and parlor self-contained cost 35k naira equivalent monthly. Electricity bill is higher than Nigeria. Time's how many rent range the house owner want.

Don't try to show a Gambian that you're wise man from Nigeria, I bet you will never see tomorrow because chapande boys no send you.

DMS value ends in Gambia, Gambia don't use dollar but local currency DMS so don't jump to Gambia to start earning dollar. DMS dollar value is the same with naira so don't hope that exchange can perform miracle.

Development of Gambia can be compared with Oshogbo Osun state, but Osun state is bigger than Gambia so don't start insulting them of not being size of Nigeria, no body beg you to go there.

You must be ready to learn Walof or get criticism as a Nigerian when you Bleep.

Gambia don't joke with tax especially you the fucking foreigners as they normally address Nigerians so don't show your a hard man from corruption head office else you go to jail.

Last for you to enter Gambia someone must sign your undertaken, either a Gambian or resident Nigerian which they have to call on phone to confirm, that's reason immigration come to the address in undertaken document after three months visa on your passport, so don't get stranded at Jobolo or sireten boarder.

When people tell you about a country there's something they don't let you know until you hang in.

Yes they are small country that take everything serious not like our big for nothing nation.

Good luck

Can you keep a secret?

migrantDentist:

Sis,
Story long oo.
i no sabi write.

In 2016, I was in UCH doctors lounge with my frustration watching premier league.
Everyone seem to be celebrating their successes in plab and usmle.
A Sierra leone chipped in into their convo. He is never migrating. He is here for training, after training he heads home to help his people.
i linked up with him asap.
He told me they needed dentist in his country. He promised to help me. That was the last i heard of him.
He has already planted a seed of information
I researched all the countries in west africa.
I reached out to Gambian doctors via email.
Some responded.
A lot didn't
One responder asked for my CV.
I sent my CV.
Interview was done via Whatsapp.
I was offered a job

Here in Nigeria, people don't take dentists serious like other medical doctors.

Your story is not complete. Where did you stay when you first got to Gambia?

I think there’s so much credence and inspiration on your story but for the sake of honest Nairalanders that would start considering moving to other African countries and for goodness sake, How true is it that you say your Cert is worth more than the Cert of a medical Doctor?

lebete3000:


Bro I'm a medical officer. Pls can you help me with any work place I can send my CV to?

eguarojeona:
1k USD /Week, biweekly, monthly?
Do you know anything about Pharmacist?

oyegunsimo:


Point of correction: There is direct flight to Gambia. Aasky and Airpeace. But airpeace is down now. Gambia is a lovely country to be. No hassles and system failures like Nigeria. I spent close to 20 years in GM. Extremely nice people. Good luck to you OP. Meanwhile pls avoid the beautiful Wollof, Mandinka and Fula girls to avoid the stories that touch!
