It is useful as long as you can gain admission with it to pursue your masters program.
Re: Is Nigeria Certificate Useful Outside The Country? by adionin(m): 1:23pm On Dec 27, 2024
Very useful.

You can use it to gain admission for your masters program.

Are you a doctor practicing as a CERTIFIED DOCTOR in America with your NIGERIAN DEGREE in an American or finland finish hospital?
If yes tell us how you manage do am??
Am waiting
You nag rubbish

shunlet:
This guy you don't know what you are writing. Don't confuse people, in your first post, you mentioned that before you can practice as a doctor or as a nurse, you will need to apply for a program/degree and start from the beginning.

Writing an exam to get license to practice in a country is different from start a degree to get trained.

Getting license is just like what we called a competency assessment.
Re: Is Nigeria Certificate Useful Outside The Country? by adionin(m): 1:25pm On Dec 27, 2024
The fact that you can do your masters program with it in those places you mentioned shows that it is useful.

You can be certified to practice as a dr in the us right from your home country provided you av passed passed your steps 1 and 2 (both can be written in west africa) which gives you the ability to go for your residency training in the US...takes 4 year to 7 years to finish your residency program.
at the end, you suffer segregation as a nija man, then you would be forced to form an NGO and remember your people back home grin


You don't need to suffer yourself just to practice in America....
The main goal is mad cash, and you can get that in other countries

[quote author=NovusHomo post=133464323][/quote]You are getting this the wrong way..

See when it comes to dealing with life mostly in the field of medicine, you don't just say because you are a doctor in Nigeria then you qualify to be a doctor and just come and practice like that.

There are not just one exam but multiple exams and test you will take in addition to that you Nigerian degrees because that Nigerian degrees is considered mid-level. Our standard of teaching is rubbish
In the UK alone multiple Nigerians are in jail because they gave the wrong dose of medication to the victim who died due to unprofessional ethics. What I am trying to say is,
You must meet the countries own educational requirements to practice in their country and you must meet those requirements which you have to go back to school or write a certain exam to proof you are proficient enough to fill that role as required.
If you don't understand me or you think we saying something different the bye...

Yes!!! I know a lot of Naija guys (USA) in IT that got employed with their first degree certificates. The best part is that they don't consider if you are a third class or first class student. If you are able to pass the interview, you are good to go. Pls guys to destroy your certificates because it will come handy when you get the opportunity.
Re: Is Nigeria Certificate Useful Outside The Country? by Infotubia9ja: 1:36pm On Dec 27, 2024
Which country are you and what are you practicing professionally?
And how did you get to your professional career with your NIGERIAN degree or you further to get that western degree?

You are the fool in this case because you don't read right before you respond.
Try read and understand before you come here and open your smelling mouth and talk to others go brush first.

Dalohad:
You are the illiterate here. Stop commenting on issues you know nothing about. Naija Physios and Biomedical Scientists do not need to write any professional exams.

How can people so brazenly tell falsehoods ehn? Teehahaha

Infotubia9ja:
Good question..

I hope I try to explain this as much understandable as I can for you.

You see all those doctors here in Nigeria right, they are not doctors when the relocate abroad. They get jobs as home care aid to nursing sick people. That is a different occupation far far from practicing as a doctor in America or Canada or UK.
Infact you can as well apply to be a home care assistant as well with your university degree from Nigeria which is considered a normal equivalent to diploma here. You just have to pass the nursing exam which I know a 200level university student from Nigeria can read the Q&A and pass as well.
What you do is simply take care of old people or mentally unstable people and make sure they don't poop on their self or when they do you change them and also make sure they take their meds regularly and also monitor them so they don't harm their self.
Anybody can do that job infact that is equivalent to a factory job if you don't know only this time you be more careful because you handling a human life and can be arrested and you go to jail if you flop because it is stated there in your agreement you sign before you start working.

If you want to be a doctor in these countries, you have to apply for a medical or a nursing program/ degree where you undergo the process from the begining according to the countries teaching regulations and standards, pass the necessary exams, go for your training practice, write another exam if you fail you have to retake it which happens very often because I have friends who it has happened to. Then luckily you pass them you go under the process to be a certified nurse or doctor depending on the field you choose.

I hope you get the point now. Merry Xmas and season greetings.

Thank you for bringing the IT aspect up.

When you say IT.
You must mean entry level like Database management and stuff.

If you want to say core IT where you get paid at least $90k to $139k and above baba you must get a good certification.

Infact do you know that now in America if you graduate from the university in any American university with computer science or any IT related job, chances are you won't get a job at all.
They no longer employing IT related people anymore.
Now they use AI to implement their task and now use mostly to robotics.

Infact I just found out last night that Jeff bezo owner of Amazon is planing on sacking 54% of Amazon's workforce in America come 2025. He already using robots and he said it cost just $3 an hour to operate unlike humans who cost in the range of $15 to $30
So in that aspect we cooked lol

Better by FAR 🙌🏽

AcadaWriter0:
The BSc I obtained from Unilorin, along with my audit experience in Nigeria, helped me secure an audit job in Canada. My BSc was evaluated by WES, as shown below. Having a BSc from Nigeria, combined with relevant experience in reputable companies, can lead to job opportunities abroad if you have legal residency. Some professionals, such as nurses, doctors, auditors, tech specialists, and engineers, are even sponsored from Nigeria.

I have tried to explain this to you; please, follow.

Yes, them go write exam.

The same way foreign-trained doctors go write exam before them practice for Nigeria.

In your post you asserted that Nigerian certs are not acknowledged abroad. That doctors here work as care providers in nursing home. And all that.

Now, this is not true, boss.

Nigerian medical certificates are FULLY ACKNOWLEDGED abroad. The exams them dey write no be for extra university schooling or something...na to ensure they meet the minimum requirements to practice there are an FOG.

You get?
Please stop responding to him
Please

CERTIFICATION. That's what practically everyone has been telling you. Certification comes before licensure. It is not a sign of non-recognition of your diploma. It's a question of standardization. Why do I even bother? huh

See this ignoramus saying what he has absolutely no clue about.

No one goes through any process again .

What Doctors or Nurses write are licensing exams of those countries.
In fact , any one trained outside Nigeria would also be subjected to such licensing exams if they wanted to practice as Doctors in Nigeria .

As long as you attended a recognized medical school ( which can be found in the world medical directory), you are qualified to sit for the licensing exams of those countries.

I’ll give 2 examples

1) USA
There’s a uniform licensing exam for everyone who wants to practice medicine in the US whether you attended a medical school in the us , Canada or Nigeria .
It’s called the USMLE .
And there are 3 steps but you only need 2 steps to get in .
The exams can be written outside the US . Nigerians write the exam in Ghana

2) The UK
Usually , the basic licensing exam is the PLAB which is open to everyone who wants to practice in the UK. It’s an entry level exam for Junior Doctors.
There are other pathways such as MRCS , MRCP etc

The poster above is extremely ignorant about what he’s talking about .
Your Nigerian degree is not useless at all .
I have a lot of friends who got phD scholarships in the US and UK with their Nigerian degree .

Thank you

Well, I think there’s misunderstanding between both of you. The op said if you can apply directly with your Nigeria degree and the answer is yes but first, you must take a level of exam to acquire a license and practice as one. You can’t just move to Western Countries and start operating, you must undergo some processes.
So I believe both of you misunderstood yourselves
The argument is irrelevant. Obtaining certification to practice in different countries is different from recognition of the certificate itself. Even in Nigeria obtaining a degree does not necessarily make you an accountant, a doctor or a lawyer, it is certification by relevant bodies that makes you a professional and obtain jobs as one. If you switch countries, common sense dictates that you must obtain the country's relevant certification in order to practice as a professional. It even goes further in the US, you sometimes need state certification to practice in another state.

Lol just typing rubbish with calmness han han feeding people with lies.

I am a physiotherapist, I got a job in UK directly from Nigeria in 2022 and I moved there and I work with NHS, I only applied for a license to work as a physiotherapist in UK. That is all I did.

I have met so many doctors that studied in Nigeria, working as doctors here, they didn’t have to go to any more school, they just wrote the licensing exams to practice which is standard.

I have countless number of nurses who got job directly from Nigeria.

Stop spreading misinformation
