As a nurse in the UK, you can easily get sponsorship via the care route. Why return back to Nigeria because of NMCN wahala?

Care workers are no longer allowed to relocate with their families to the UK
That's a major challenge

lexy2014:
Did you miss this part of the story that you read?

No, I did not. Both the Nigerian government, and the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria that should support and fight for its members have behaved in an evil way here.

This is sickening

All it takes is for group of nurses to come together and employ the service of a top lawyer and sue them....it will be a long ride but will surely lead to an outcome.when you are quiet,nothing will be done.Evil people...

Nigerian nurses are always treated like rags. Imagine, the doctors and pharmacists portals are open oo😭

Fraudulent Naigeeerians!

Bad belle will not kill you people. Amen

Bad belle how? For your information, I am not in Nigeria but I am proud of my country and what she has done for me. I will never refer to her as a shithole

Who referred to Nigeria as a shithole?

Is bad belle dependent on your location?
You can be anywhere and still have it

Then Nurses are likely their own enemies or who came up and agreed with such policy..principalities I guess....

All these Nigerian nurses, with the level
wickedness in their hearts. Will they allow the younger generation to travel and be better?

Ppogbae:
You must come back to Nigeria by force !

Those nurses are not your problem
I wonder what you find amusing in all of this

Nigerian government must look for a way to make life miserable for Nigerians at home and abroad

Seems it's one of the government strategic measures to curtail the JAPA syndrome. Perhaps!

It's an unverified rumor, the verification issue can only stop those in Nigeria from moving not those that has left already. In fact, for most of us USRN came in with PR, and for a person that has started working, that means the person has gone passed verification step for a long time. Although, my idea is that we all Nigeria Nurses still need to fight the barbaric act no matter where we are.

@op your information is unverified and fake. You just heard the rumor, you are part of gang that are praying for downfall of those that struggle to leave the country that you all spoiled with corruption. It is true NMCN stop verification for young nurses trying to move out of the country, but where you now see nurses moving back from UK and US is what I don't understand. For sure, those of us that have left are ready to support the ones at home to stop the evil act.

FBI Requests EFCC's Assistance To Arrest Two Nigerians For Stealing $13Million From American Healthcare Providers

The United States of America’s Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has asked Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to track down and arrest two Nigerians, Babatunde Shodiya and Yinka Jamiu, who were declared wanted for allegedly using a fake website to defraud American healthcare providers of $13 million, People’s Gazette.

Shodiya (43) and Jamiu (31) were indicted by the United States for their alleged involvement in a $13 million fraudulent business email scheme targeting healthcare companies in Minnesota.

They were indicted on September 25 by a grand jury in the U.S. District Court for Minnesota for their role in a scheme that defrauded several healthcare providers between October 2020 and 2024.

The U.S. Attorney Andrew Luger said that Shodiya and Jamiu manipulated unsuspecting employees of several Minnesota-based healthcare firms, deceiving them into redirecting payments to fraudulent accounts.

Luger said, “As part of the scheme, Babatunde and Ahmed created a fake ‘spoofed’ internet domain designed to appear as though it was controlled by Fairview Health.”

The Attorney added, “Unbeknownst to the vendor companies, the new accounts were actually controlled by Babatunde and Ahmed and their co-conspirators, not Fairview Health.

“In total, Babatunde and Ahmed fraudulently directed more than $13m in payments intended for Fairview Health from Minnesota-based healthcare companies to accounts controlled by Babatunde, Ahmed, and their co-conspirators.”

Peoples Gazette reports that the U.S. authorities have confirmed that the suspects are Nigerian citizens and are residing in Nigeria.

Sources familiar with the matter reportedly said that American officials have communicated their concerns to Nigeria’s EFCC.

“The U.S. officials reached out to us and informed us that the suspects are believed to be hiding in Nigeria,” an EFCC officer, who spoke to People’s Gazette on condition of anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the investigation, said.

The EFCC source added, “We have a duty to honor this request in line with our long-standing collaboration with the U.S. in addressing cross-border crimes.”

Shodiya and Jamiu allegedly exploited Optum Pay, a widely used payment system among health service providers in Minnesota, by creating a fake domain to manipulate payment transfers.

They set up the counterfeit website, fairviewhospitals.org, through which they impersonated key officials within the hospital network, including the CEO, executive vice president, and a business analyst, by creating fraudulent email accounts.

Using these fake email addresses, the pair sent phishing emails to Fairview Health employees, tricking them into providing login credentials.

For their role in impersonating Fairview’s executives, Shodiya faces an additional charge of aggravated identity theft, in addition to the wire fraud charges.
