I'm sorry but your mum is intellectually retarded with a backward, archaic and myopic mindset.

She needs mental emancipation. I won't mince words, your mother is a destiny killer.

Frustrated and depressed kill u.How do u know

Medicine is a wonderful profession anyway anytime and if u go with the intention that u want to be rich then you are in a wrong profession especially in our setting here.
But if u love it and have passion for it.
It is rewarding and u have inner joy that you are contributing to life.
Can anyone do without a doctor
You always need them.

Let your brother talk her mum and let him follow his hear or else medicine will frustrate you .

Medical practice is not about money but the joy of helping and saving lives.
I have taken delivery of more 500 babies and the joy of seeing new born cannot be explained.
It is also the job where I certify people dead,see their last moments in life.It is humbling.No other job is like that...
Wives and husbands commit secrets they cannot tell their spouse or even a religious leader to you.

With regards to money, doctors in Canada, US,Australia and many European countries are rich.Even South Africa appreciate them.

Ultimately, the guy should not be forced.
I studied civil engineering for 2 years and wrote Jamb again to study medicine because my parents suggested.I have no regrets.

Doctors are well respected everywhere.I work in Europe and initially whe a black guy meets a white man acting funny,when they realise you're a doctor....everything changes.

Only doctors respectfully have access to everyone's privacy as part of their job.

My younger brother is about to register for JAMB for the second time and my mum insists he must study medicine. What's so special about medicine?

She feels that doctors are rich. I've been trying to convince her. What do I do to help my bro because he doesn't want to study medicine?

it is best your brother lives his life and not what your mum wants

Ah

You can do medicine just to please your mum and later follow your path.

Ask D'banj and Co.

What is he interested in studying? Let us start from there

Tell your mum to go and study the medicine herself, since she desires it so much

JosephXavier:
Let him do medicine and use the certificate to travel out

You're smart!

Medicine is a fine profession but not in Nigeria anymore. Nigerian government have rendered every course useless. Nigerians doctor are under paid, No good working condition for our doctors, all our government hospitals look like mortuary with ill equipped medical instruments and facilities. Incessant nation wide medical strikes
Nigeria is just a useless country nothing seems to work perfectly.
Many people you see today that are doing fine or not fine in any Field also have different kinds of degrees but the social economy frustration of Nigeria have left so many to look for other means of survival.
The era of having paper certificate is gone now we are in the era of what you can do with your brain and hand

Let him try IT

I want to put a little talk on this, first ask him why he doesn't want to do medicine, maybe he is afraid of failure, maybe he needs motivation sometimes in life the choices we want is nt always what comes for us but u gonna do the available one and make it a choice and see it working out.

Sunnybay7:
You better follow your passion, she won't write medical exams for you.

Is it so difficult to pass the medical school or they made it so difficult like the honourable law school?

Hotguy27:


What are you trying to convince her about? That Doctors are poor?

Yes

Hmmm. Calm down,thats someone's mother u know. What'll be will be.

I don't blame her. The way the country is going is medicine and pharmacy or nothing after graduating

olassybaba:
African parents with the entitlement mentality.
They just want you to live the conventional lifestyle.

Being a doctor isn't conventional lol.

If he is capable academically, advice him to do as your mum says. He won’t regret it.

Also if u guys have funds take him to a private uni...ur mum wants d best for your bro... E no go regret am... Tell your bro that any other course apart from pharmacy, nursing, medical lab and dentistry, is close to useless in Nigeria even engineering when u gain admission ur lecturers will start telling u, u can work anywhere na scam o at d end of d day we finish come dey learn work again.

you need to really talk to your mum or find someone close her to talk to her.........samething happened to me. I grew up with my grandma. She was a doctor. She insisted i should study law. Na big fight o....before she agreed to let me study what i wanted

It is clear ur mum isn't educated. Education itself is overrated in Nigeria. We wey go d sch sef wetin we dey Cari am do. Laslas na street na him sure pass.

Lucky u. I used to think I was the only one who acted this way. Especially been a female, African environment has a way of affecting ones mentality if you're a female pursuing your career, thats for those who allowed their environment to influence them anyway. I studied business admin for 2yrs , wrote jamb again to study medicine, I didnt get it cos of accreditation issues,I graduated with medical physiology, didnt stop there,took DE ,applied again, just got it. I don't intend practicing here , Nigeria got nothing to offer to doctors than stress ,delay and wasted effort. Medicine is just for those with the passion, else nothing would have made me pay so much sacrifice, not even the money been paid to doctors especially here in Nigeria.

While growing up, I really wanted to study pharmacy but my mother insisted on Medicine and Surgery.

Today, I have practiced in a number of countries and I am so grateful that she saw ahead of me what I couldn't see.

Doctors are not the richest but they are way more comfortable within the average class of the society.

You don't need to be intelligent to become a doctor, all you need is consistency!

There is nothing wrong in trying to choose a good Carrier part for her son, she meant well. How ever it must not be forced on him. Give him little orientation on the advantage of studying medicine.

DrDax:


You will thank her later.

Trust me.

U be goat sha. No offense

fostermd:
It's a rewarding career especially if you practice in developed world.You are well renumerated and appreciated.

You need to have good heart,care for people and work long hours.It requires loads of stamina from.2nd year till 6th.No semester breaks,calender is January to December, lots of examinations, clinical.and written.

It's my 23rd year as a doctor and still loving it.I left naija 16 years ago and no regrets.
You need loads of maturity as secrets would be handed to you and got to be very confidential.

Please bro, which country are you practicing now?

I need tips bro... I'm still saving up funds.

Even in Nigeria as bad as it may,all doctors are employed.never unemployed.
Better still if they travel.out.All medical courses including nursing,pharmacy,laboratory medicine etc are all sought after abroad.

UK and Ireland now have special visas and fast track pathway for them to relocate.Uk has currently shortage of 50,000 nurses.
Canada gives upto $50,000 dollars in relocation allowance for any foreign recruited doctor with a average annual salaries of $250,000 to $450,000 Canadian dollars.I have colleagues who have their own practice earning upto a million per annum.

It doesn't stop doctors from investing in other stuff.The chairman of Seplat Oil ,Dr A.B.C Orjiako is an orthopaedic surgeon and my senior in Medical school.

I have colleagues who own huge multimillion dollar farms in Nigeria though based abroad,real estates,serialentrepreneurs,heavy investors in major banks and other companies on stock market with millions of returns yearly.

You got to be broad minded.

Shoodboi:
Why didn't she study medicine herself?

Your mom's only insisting your bro studies medicine for bragging rights.

She's not interested in the money or prestige or whatever

Also, doctors are not rich but in a country where the majority earn peanuts, they have the potential to earn more since their profession is one that cannot be dominated by an outsider since you need qualifications to practice.

But again, we know how admission works in Nigeria. It's difficult to get even the so-called "easy" courses not to talk of the heavily competitive ones like Medicine.

Whatever reason your mom wants your bro to stud medicine, instead of trying to discourage her through the "earning" perspective, why don't you try discouraging her through its competitiveness.

Good grades, money, bribery and connections are NOT enough to get you Medicine in Nigeria, even in private universities.

Exactly. She wants to answer 'Nne doctor'. A caveman thinking

Wahala o

Mumsy say wetin? Abeg shey she think sey all these strike strike wey dem dey tok, sey e dey sweet dem ni Abi as dem carry cardboard dey waka under sun under rain dey protest non-payment of their salaries, she think sey na feem dem dey act ni because I no jus understand this leg wey she bring so Well, maybe she's not in Nigeria sha

The medical profession is fast becoming a charity venture in Nigeria.. Even those wey don open their own private clinic dey cry, people no dey ever believe, you go hear "taaaarh na lie joor, you no dey see how many patients dem dey get, see they're really making it, how I wish sey dis my pikin fit just jump now now turn to doctor" lmaoooo broda, sista, onkuu, hanty, no be so ooo, aswear everybody jus dey manage to package.. Okay now see as economy bad, sapa don reach everybody side and maybe 70% of patients wey come hospital dey tok "doctor you be my personal pesin nau, abeg treat am, I go bring the money later", tomorrow I go, 2wks I go, 1month I go.. Abeg how dem go pay their staff, how dem go buy medical supplies, how dem go upgrade equipment, how dem go tek chop, how dem go provide for their family, mama & papa nko wey suffer pay sch fees, dept fee, faculty fee, buy textbook, feeding money plus miscellaneous, God bless sponsors oo.. See ehn, I no wan tok Federal Government own, I no get strength abeg.. I hope sey una get land sha as Nigerian leaders don tok sey if doctors dem no come work say FG no go pay dem shishi sooo if dem like make dem do strike from today til thy kingdom come enu gbe, make all of them go carry cutlass enter farm o.. This life ehn, e no balance at all at all.. After dem don work work work work, dem no pay but dem still dey threaten dem sey "no work, no pay".. Aaand na still dem no want make doctors dem go jand where they are very much appreciated, where all lives matter(human, plant & animals alike) smh Naija which way nau?!

Like I said before, maybe no be for this Naija she dey orrr she has plans to send your brother abroad.. Anyways, y'all should sit together and really talk about this.. She shouldn't dictate the kiddo's future please, she should atleast hear him out and guide him on the right path, encourage & support him in whatever profession he'd love to take up.. He's a guy na, bobo sef go don know wassup so he'll surely be leaning onto something lucrative.. Make mumsy try dey calm down abeg make things no go spoil.

If your younger brother has the brains, let him do it except he's scared of cadavar.
Mama done see something for this life and she doesn't want him to suffer.
