He has an Oyibo wife. He can return at any time T. Mind you, he still have enough to buy a house , a car in the US at any time T.

DaddyCoool:
It may not be as you think.
Whatever "chased" him out of US may keep him out of US.
(Example: you know you embezzled money and there's a probe going on)

drimzsmoke:
Daddycool😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This man announced his home coming months back. He said he's doing this in honour of his grandmother who had 1 illness while he was a small boy in Nigeria and blah blah blah.... Nothing is chasing the man

Gerrard59:
So, how come so much poverty?

FEGEITOK:
My dad had a book that I read uncountable times.

Some people will never see the acres of diamond in their surroundings.

It takes someone else with a different outlook to see what those without more experience and localized experience cannot see.

Exposure makes a difference.

*Acres of Diamonds* is a motivational tale about an African farmer named Ali Hafed. Hearing stories of other farmers becoming rich by discovering diamond mines, Ali Hafed becomes obsessed with the idea of striking it rich. He sells his farm and embarks on a fruitless journey across the continent, searching for diamonds.

Years later, worn out and disillusioned, Ali Hafed returns to his old farm, only to find that it has been bought by someone else. To his astonishment, the new owner discovers a vast diamond mine on the very land Ali Hafed had sold. The moral of the story is that opportunities often lie right beneath our feet, and we should be careful not to overlook them in our pursuit of far-off dreams.

airsaylongcome:
He cannot. Unless he is establishing it as a conduit for money laundering. His eye go soon clear when he sees the reality on ground that many many Nigerians cannot afford good health care. A friend from the US tried this, setting up a Dialysis practice. He shutdown operations within 3 years. This is for dialysis that should have considerable demand in Nigeria. People could not afford two to three times a week of dialysis. Musculoskeletal/Orthopedics is even worse

DaddyCoool:
He didn't say all this.
He only said he sold his house and everything and abandoned his multi-family real estate business because he wants to help Nigeria

The Lebanese are making a killing in naija
The Indians are making a killing in naija
Tolaram (indomie) has been making a killing in naija.

Though it may also be about having the resources and network.

The medical tourism makes it clear there is a big medicine market in Nigeria. Even more so with our soaring inflation

Add lack of any real regulation, a culture of acceptance of malpractice, the power of oyibo accent, and a returnee can hammer big time.

Lolz
I watched his video on a friend's status months back talking about his whole plans of coming home.
There are a lot of things I can't even explain or don't know where(how) to start explaining, you won't get it!!!

When you're free sha, google the highest paid medical specialty, it's orthopaedic surgery
Google best 10 medical hospital in the world/ history of medicine in the US

DaddyCoool:
I believe him. Very well-spoken
Dr Imzsmoke, u sure this is not you?😁

DaddyCoool:
He also said he is CEO of a multi-family real estate company (read: loans, loans, and more loans).
It is one thing to establish a business or hospital in Nigeria. It is quite another to sell your house and everything and relocate to Nigeria with your family!

He can claim he's trying to help Nigeria (sure!).
It can be for any reason - burn out, crime he knows may catch up with him, moment of depression, loans owed, other pressures, etc.
I can assure you of one thing - almost all relocate because something is "chasing" them

dannyjesutofunmi:
Who told you he got his medical degree in the US?

drimzsmoke:
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
There's no "dr-doctor" in my username.
My username is drimz(dreams) + smoke

No, it's not me. Presently I'm inside 1 remote village in Nigeria☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️

Cousin9999:
There are America and Europe trained doctors that decide to work in harsh environments all over the world for modest pay. They could be somewhere making amazing money, having a predictable schedule, and relaxing in their penthouse or brownstone. But some people feel a calling to bring their skills and knowledge to people who they feel need it more than the average person in America, Canada, or west Europe.

Gerrard59:
This reminds of the conversation amongst my secondary schoolmates where I and another in the US eulogised about the business opportunities in Nigeria. One had to interject saying "na now wey una comot una remember say opportunities dey. How come una no see am when una dey Nigeria?".


Agreed.

So, how come so much poverty?

Gerrard59:
That is the cognitive dissonance about making money in Nigeria. If money can be made so much and quickly, how come there is so much poverty? It does me somehow in the brain sha.

Kaczynski:
Because most nigerian don't have sense


Money's in Nigeria, only people that have sense get it

DaddyCoool:
Assumptions everywhere.
Who told all this?
And where did he say he has oyinbo wife?

Have you ever conducted investigation to see if ANY of them be Naija

Nationality is irrelevant. Some people think about something besides their own comfort.

grandstar:
The man isn't a slowpoke. He has seen a hole in the market and he is grabbing it with both hands.

My dad had is lower right leg cut off due to diabetes. The doctor who attended to him was a Canadian based doctor who is now permanently here in Nigeria. His office is in Lekki phase 1. He charged us a flat fee of 1.8m then. This would be like 7.5m in todays exchange rate.

Both are in the same field. He has seen a lucrative market here in Nigeria he can tap, and there's also the medical tourism market. Nigeria should be the leader in Africa but its failing to meet its potential.

He isn't mad coming home. It is a very smart move. I have been abroad, and I can tell you something, there's nowhere like home.

Charmingrascal:
He has seen it all and he decided to pick what's best for him.
I am not anti japa but I will still say it without fear. If I have enough money that would cover all my "japa expenses" I would stay back in Nigeria and invest the money. I am familiar with Nigeria and it will be easy for me to do so many things here than a foreign land.

Last year I had the opportunity to travel abroad I told the person to invest the money in a business for me here, since he is also doing well in Nigeria without traveling abroad to hustle, he refused to give me any money or even invest it for me in a business. I told him I wasn't interested in traveling, that I can't be slaving away in a foreign land, living in fear or foreign laws that are anti black (no matter how nice they paint it) plus leaving all the people I cherish behind was something I can't imagine.
He kept his money and I thanked him for offering to help.
