Hull isn't better than Abuja.

It's a shithole.

Mabuggi88:
Even if they put everything including the cost of breathed air, they will still pocket as high as 1.8m monthly in Naira.
I just did an average calculation for it now and got #2.3m monthly after using an average expenditure in a UK environment

Gentledove2001:
How many hospitals and medical schools did he build when he was governor of Anambra State? You people will just be packaging nonsense for Nigeria. Tinubu may not be getting somethings right, but Obi have no moral justification to talk about doctors and healthcare, when he was governor, doctors where on strike for 13 months.

Commentor:
Don't mind him.

Commentor:
Why has Obi not managed Labour Party?

Commentor:
You think this is money?

Let me sweeten this by adding this from Gemini AI

Training a doctor in Nigeria is significantly cheaper than in the UK due to government subsidies. In Nigeria, medical school tuition can range from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand, while UK citizens pay substantial tuition fees and taxpayers cover additional costs, according to a University World News article.
In Nigeria:
Public Universities: Tuition fees are heavily subsidized, with students potentially paying less than $500 for a medical degree.
Private Universities: Tuition fees can range from $6,516 to $10,860 per year or session.
Additional Costs: Besides tuition, students also need to factor in living expenses, books, and other associated costs.
In the UK:
Tuition Fees:
UK citizens pay about £9,250 per year in tuition fees, which is a substantial amount.
Taxpayer Support:
The UK government also provides funding for medical education, with an additional cost of £286,347 borne by taxpayers for medical training.
Student Loans:
Many students also rely on student loans to cover tuition and living expenses.
Additional Costs:
Besides tuition, students also need to factor in living expenses, books, and other associated costs.


We know most of them attend public university, and they will come back and tell us they are getting nothing from the govt

U heard Obi and boom hate filled your heart Cuba, Egypt, Philippines and many more countries do this it's not rocket science

Japa for healthcare workers in Nigeria will continue unabated because the naira has lost so much value that the FG will literally collapse financially if Nigeria tries to compete with this wage structure.

Here is the monthly salary of UK resident doctors converted to Naira at the prevailing exchange rate:


Below are the conversions for the monthly take-home pay ranges provided for resident doctors in England (2024/25 pay scales, after tax/NI/pension deductions):

Foundation Year 1 (FY1):
£2,300–£2,500
£2,300 × 2,147.24 = ₦4,938,652
£2,500 × 2,147.24 = ₦5,368,100

Foundation Year 2 (FY2):
£2,600–£2,900
£2,600 × 2,147.24 = ₦5,582,824
£2,900 × 2,147.24 = ₦6,226,996

Specialty Training (ST1–ST8):
£3,000–£4,200
£3,000 × 2,147.24 = ₦6,441,720
£4,200 × 2,147.24 = ₦9,018,408

I guess you've never paid school fees for someone because if you have, you'll know tuition is always very cheap. Only tuition is subsidized by the government, nothing else is, and in the end you'll still spend a fortune. Tuition is usually not up to 200k but when you add other expenses you'll see yourself spending up to 2 million naira in a year.
Take this from someone who is training his wife in a university as a medical doctor

motymop:
but the salary is low in uk standard

the only country that pay doctors well is the US

We are talking of national issues that affects Nigeria.

This are prices killing our people.

This are criminals like ESN, herdsmen, boko haram, bandit etc which has increased in operation resulting to more death

We are talking of decrease in government spending in all rounds.

How Nigeria is sinking low and our economy grinded.

Same way we voted Buhari twice when it was evident that he is leading us astray now he has gone where are the praise singers? Has Nigeria been better? But lets know that our action today will affect our children tomorrow

Irony1:
Oga stop this nonsense talk. Even in Lagos during Fashola's time the doctors too went on strike the same time as their counterparts in Anambra and Fashola under Tinubu's advice sacked the doctors.

You think Nigeria is easier to handle than labour party?

Soo dull. How about you also put the cost of their living expenses. You are comparing yourself to them. Do you spend in pounds? Why should they be paid in naira or equivalent to their peers in naira when they live in a more expensive society?

mrvitalis:
And UK doctors are said to he poorly paid

I remember what OBI said that doctors and health workers are one of our great comparative advantages

We should be building more medical schools and exporting our doctors

I'm happy South East took this offer but we need at least 20 medical collages in each state of the South East to export 10,000 doctors yearly and 50,000 nurses

004gist:
But obasanjo was able to handle it and we saw growth

Yar'Adua was able to handle it despite being sick we saw huge growth

Jonathan handled it we saw growth in GDP


Buhari failed as economy contracted.

Tinubu same path things going south even me typing this i had to japa before hunger kill me



Please think for your children, ur mom, ur dad relatives.

Keep deceiving yourself you hear, inferiority complex will not kill you. Apart from house rent and some other services, tell me one thing that is not as expensive in Nigeria like it is abroad.

Commentor:
Nigerian economy experienced growth under Tinubu already.
