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.
i work with my Nigerian degree from unilorin in one of the biggest banks in North America. I also worked with a big 4 audit firm in Canada. Most of my friends here with Nigerians degrees are working with it. You are just arguing blindly like mumu. My ICAN certification was not recognized and was required to write their own certification. But i never did yet i still dey get jobs/ offers 😂

For me, Nigerian degrees even if FIRST CLASS it's not actually useful outside Nigeria. Mostly in western countries i.e USA Canada Luxembourg etc.

That's why when people who relocate to this country who want to push on their professional careers always go back to school in those country.
Reason I guess is based on their educational and teaching standard requirements.
You are wrong. People finish First degree in Nigeria and move to UK for 2nd and 3rd degrees so what rubbish are you saying?

Lol In all my years of living in America this is my first time to hear this.
And I don't believe you.
What bank you work in America just the name let us look the employees minimum requirements for application on their website

Infact just tell me the name of the bank in America so I call them and ask if my friend who has a work authorization and a legal permit to live in america but have Nigerian accounting or banking degree and want to work in their bank.
In all my years of living in America I haven't seen such but still let me know I want to ask the bank myself.
Just the name of the bank I ask and let's go from there

Lol my guy you funny. Abeg forget UK abeg we no involve UK.
You know why?

1, Nigeria was colonized by the British and as such, we use their educational system and your Nigerian certificate might be recognized there.
Secondly UK na Nigerian Lagos so you must get job with your degree for sure very doable.
Come to other countries let's go from there.

Better put, the best way to enter another man’s country (the country they built with their sweat for their own people) and enjoy the resources they’ve built over time is to enter through education route so u can stay for a while and plan another route

You live in "America"?! Or did you mean the USA? God save us all. A security guard or something like that, right? Nothing wrong with that. Well, now I understand where you're coming from. Why don't you just stay in your lane and stop talking BS. You can impress your friends with your "knowledge"; that too is okay. But keep it within your circle.

He is actually saying rubbish. If you took the pain to go through his posts and the assertions he made, you wont argue with our deductions.

That you write exams that licenses you to practice does not in any way translate to Nigerian results being invalid in the West.

That's a silly assertion and sillier that he is being corrected and he is still bent on his ignorance.

And if you are appaluding his ignorance after clearly reading the title in this thread and how his assertions parallels it, then I am lost for words.

He is not saying Rubbish the bottom line is they test you again one way or another to be sure you know what you are doing.

Useful enough to get you into those Western countries.

But when you move into a new country, you need to learn the system and formal education is the best to get a headstart.

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.
It amazing how folks like you boldly spill wrong information on a topic the know nothing about. I'm sure you haven't stepped foot outside of Nigeria and Neither have you tried to use whatever qualifications you've got outside of the country, and I'm sure you are neither a Doctor or Nurse. There are several Nigerian doctors practicing all over the work with their degree, so get your facts right and stop misinforming people.

Every country is different.
With a medical degree from Nigeria, you will need at least 5 years (assuming the candidate is very intelligent) to practice as a doctor in US. They have the same stringent rules whether you are coming from UK or Australia.

Other healthcare professionals can present their degrees from Nigeria and challenge the Board exams if they meet the prerequisites. Sometimes it is easier and cheaper to study those courses in Nigeria
/
You are a very big liar
Stop saying nonsense . You don’t need any 5 years to be able practice in the US.
The earlier the better sef .
The closer you are to your year of graduation , the better it is for your application.

One can even begin to write US licensing exams from medical school before graduation.
My classmate from medical school left to start residency immediately after house job in 2021. He didn’t even finish his last posting before he left .
He is now an attending and about to start his fellowship training in another hospital .

Naira land used to be a place filled with really knowledgeable people.
Unfortunately, it’s no longer the same . Smh

Generally, they all prefer experience over certificates ....home or abroad certificates, it makes no difference

So there is this doctor that practice im Nigeria f9r 10 years but when he got a job and moved to USA, he started as an intern equivalent of medical students whom just passed out..
US system is slightly different.
You must enter residency to be able to practice in the US.
So anyone who wants to practice in the US usually start afresh . It’s not about Nigerians . It’s like that for all international medical graduates .

The only degree useful is nursing at the moment. Because you will write nclex and the rest. For doctors I don't know if they are still useful. They used to be useful for UK untill they stopped.

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
Thank you for calling him out, he settled down to really type rubbish.

Of all response you are the best I have gotten so far and I love your response and I will take my time now and respond to you and I hope you take your time and read before you respond to me again.

Firstly, I am not just in America I am now an America living in America. I have my own house, where I live with my wife and child and my dog. I have traveled to different countries that I am sure you haven't and will never travel to in your life and I have achieved more goals in my career than you can ever do if I may say myself.
I will add picture of myself to show proof that YES I walk it like I talk it. BUT, I won't add my face for personal reasons
picture 1, is the weather presently in America where I live it is 7:58am here in America and this is the American wether funny I didn't have a white snow Xmas this year I hate the snow lol.
Picture 2, is me in my child's play room where she is presently chilling watching. 75 inches TV she has all to herself because I have strive in my professional career to have so much funds I can afford it over and over again infact this is the third big screen TV I have bought for her this year she keeps breaking them with her tablet when she is mad. And as you can see I am by her Xmas tree in her play room. I won't show you all around my house for security reasons. So you can see, I live the American dream because, I worked hard for it.

Now let me clarify you something you see, I never said Nigerian degree is totally useless, what I said is that from my first post if you read well enough, I said for you to be blessed to make it a professional career your Nigerian certificate can't meet up you have to get a much advanced degree to meet up to the doctors here in western countries.

A question for you, show me a Nigerian brain surgeon who come to America and went and started operation on American citizen brains legally just using his Nigerian degree.
It can never happen. You can never tell me a Nigerian come to America with his degree and he will just walk to a hospital and say I need a job and give them his degree and they will say Great go operate on tommy over there.
I know there are associations where Nigerians car work with their deger as a Nigerian. In such example I can say DOCTORS WITHOUT BORDERS. Go look it up. But you can't just come to America and say you got. Job from Nigeria to come practice doctor who are you.
You must undergo their own training here and be certified. Get that in your small skull of yours
ND thirdly, I have a Masters degree from a reputable university here in America as a geologist but I don't use it to work you know why??
I am self employed and I make what you make in a year in a day if care in not taken that's if you earning in USD I earn what you earn I month in USD I earn in a day or two maximum 4 days.
And yes I have also traveled to more countries than I can remember or do you want me to say them out loud too?
