DataDoc:
If adding Dr. to your name makes you happy, then do it. Lol

DataDoc:
You cannot own a private hospital as a resident doctor. As a consultant, Yes.

shortgun:
Doctors are overpaid if you ask me.
There's no logical explanation why Doctors should earn more than Engineers. After all, seeing a doctor doesn't guarantee one will survive an illness or die.

Antoeni:
This response is very clear and concise.
Doctors need to understand that the various parts of the body,need each other.
As health professionals,the ultimate goal should be how to achieve complete patient care not who is more superior.

KingAzubuike:
Nigerian doctors can be very proud . Carrying shoulder up and down with their 2003 corolla.

Kewekubosineh:
Fringe benefits.
Not fridge benefits

Broveens42:
. one ignorant mind said, Doctors are the highest paid civil servants in Nigeria.
Lol

Father4all:
Nigeria Doctors are too narrow minded. They are still the highest paying Civil Servant in Nigeria. The Armed Forces are the most risky work in Nigeria yet they earn meager salaries

spiSeyi:
Doctors should not earn below 1 M monthly in Nigeria bcs they really worth . I knew their worth in January when I had some serious complications

Jman06:
If they want to ask for salary increment, let them do ask legitimately and not this their current antics of bullying other healthcare professionals with inconsequential things like "Dr" title and whatnots

Guestmale:
The problem with some people is that yes doctor are doing great job but they are not God that healed,a doctor is almost hundred percent sure of coming back home with all his body intact,but it's 50/50 for a soldier yet they aren't earning what doctors are earning.

Boogeymannn:
That’s false. A resident doctor who just started residency earns about 450k, a senior reg earns almost 620k, a consultant could go as high as 800k

But physicians (in the real sense, they are not doctors) seem to complain more, even though the government is doing what it can. Those who were supposed to complain are the military and the police, and not those who went to school almost for free. Nigerians are not patriotic anyway. A unified world would have prevented physicians from migrating from one country to another, especially when they are training using state resources.If you want to be rich, be an entrepreneur.This ought to be table at UN general assembly

Jeje247:
People giving hot takes without thinking.
A resident is in his late 20s or early thirties when he should be getting married, buying a house or whatever project. On top of that, there will be people billing him just for being a doctor. How can he buy a car, fuel it and take care of other expenses from such a salary

Jman06:
No resident doctor earns less than 400k in a public hospital in Nigeria as at today. Maybe the 316k excludes call duty allowance

Angelfrost:
Lol... Just watch how our "Patriots" will rush into the thread foaming at the mouth, screaming that the pay is even too high for them.

...That they got trained for "free", and should be paid peanuts.


Well, there is a reason your elected leaders and politicians prefer to treat even common cold and migraine in hospitals abroad where doctors are not paid 1,000 Naira or less per hour.

...For proper context... That's less than 1 Dollar per hour.

Freelancers with only a Diploma working from home as Virtual Assistants earn at least 5 Dollars per hour, while a whole medical professional earns 5 times less while risking his health and peace of mind to save lives daily.

hafeeanubasy:
In the real sense "they are not not doctors"...Lolz....so what are they?....PHYSICIANS are type of medical doctors that treat without major procedures.Not all medical doctors are PHYSICIANS.

Now when you say physicians,what about surgeons, radiologists etc what are day...
You may say,they are not doctors but they are all Medical doctors.

Stop misinforming the public because you hate them being called doctors

uvie66:
..... what proper context, do we spend dollars, I recently engaged the services of a carpenter, and he charged me #5k. Please compare like with like.

emapeteum:
I see I am talking to someone less informed. What is the literary meaning of a doctor?
A title meant for those having a Phd hijacked by the UK Universities in the late 19th century
for physicians. This is just a preamble, and I believe this little history may humble your
ignorance. Stop being moved by your little experience, but dig deep into history.

emapeteum:
I don't hate them, but be more informed, pls. Recently, the Deputy Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ibadan
said the same.I know I share the same space with a lot of ignorant peop̂le who claim to be informed, like
you.They are better called physicians than Doctors because this title is meant for one with highest academic
qualification, PhD.

hafeeanubasy:
The origin of a word doesn't rub it off of the recent generally accepted use!

BABANGBALI:
Babalawos in Nigeria hen more money than medical doctors in Nigeria. They also enjoy a lot of fridge benefits from women

inoki247:
13months Omo how are they surviving and you will see all this defender and lover of Nigeria having blind eyes towards that...


The states worker are really suffering in this country..

Sharpsharp00123:
but during obi tenure as governor, doctors went on strike for good 13 months now

So how's obi different

Goodvibes007:
13 months actually.
