Money 💰 is the chase... the richer the state the more medical doctors are found, the poorer the fewer doctors are hustling.
The goal is to secure the money bag💰
las las na Europe sure pass..

🤥🤥🤥
Going by the figures posted up there, the numbers of all practicing medical doctors in Nigeria are less than 45,000 in total. And we have a population of over 200 million people.

.. this is approximately a ratio of 1 doctor per 5,000 Nigerians. LoLz!

Unbelievable. Those with low medical doctors more than make up with spiritual doctors who visit Holy sites.
FCT, Kano, Kaduna almost equalling every other northern states.

I believe the article was quite clear that it meant number of medical doctors in each state, not state of origin

That's averagely 1 doctor per at least 10,000 would be patients...!

Many more have already packed their bags to leave to other nations as we are typing here.

This is shocking, scary, and hideously disgraceful!
