Because some healthcare migrant workers from some countries has over the hears made a wholy pa mistakes with patients diagnosis and medications which resulted in mortalities.

One doctor and a nurse from Malaysia couldn't read they put a DNR on a minor illness patient he died because of the DNR placed on his bed side mistakenly. There are a whole lota other fatal cases of mistakes made by non English speakng nurses and doctors in the NHS.


* DNR Do Not Resucitate.

Alot of British born healthcare workers are also required to read and pass atleast level 2 English and Maths or they cannot qualify as a nurse, I know.

If they won’t exclude Nigerian then the result should be valid for life and not two years

Those that want it removed are those that had failed it several times.

The paradox is that if you are truly proficient in English, you should ace it in first trial.

A1qVery dumb one indeed

[s]I think the petition should be tweaked to prolong the validity of the certificate and not to ask that Nigerians stop writing the exam[/s]

If the council decides to use Nairaland as part of the study to decide if Nigeria meets the requirements to be taken off the list, we will not make it.

You are correct, but these are not a good enough excuse not to live there, America also lives on past glories, Yet both countries are still better to live in. Compared to China, Singapore, and UAE. Believe it or not. I know!

Do you actually mean that majority of Nairalanders speak bad English? I don't accept it if your answer is a 'yes'. By the way, you probably contribute to the bad English. Not ending your first sentence with a full stop is bad English!

How is it exploitative ?? You forget the amount paid is in dollars or pounds which when converted to naira looks big in our eyes , but $120 is very fair for a test ,na your economy you sopos d blame making $120 look so big to us ...

And do you know 90% of Nigerians speak very poor English with lots of grammatical errors ?? You think its all this English we claim to speak they talking about ??

That's for those who even fancy the idea of living in a country like Britain.

A country that once was, and now is no more.

But lives on past Glories and has been replaced by China, Singapore, UAE and some parts of United States.

Mowoe:


Nigeria ranks top 5 of the highest scorers in the test in the world; this information is available on Wikipedia, so I beg to disagree. I think the major problems are the cost of taking the test, and the validity period.

They actually think we lose our English proficiency after two years of taking the test?! It's just a crazy money making scheme in my opinion.

watersideboys:


Lol but they are still rich and their money is still valuable. You can go to China lol

I have people there. One of the most difficult borders to enter in the world and this Covid thing has made them paranoid. Their laws and control has become almost draconian.
I had love for that country, but following their news gave me a serious brain reset. Canada is also crazy, but better.
