So why are leaders always run to UK for a simple headache? Bro stop talking nonsense abeg.

I just visited a friend who suffered stroke 2 days before he was meant to visit naija to tend to his numerous businesss, let's just say if he had gotten on that flight to naija and the stroke hit him no way he will be alive today. 6 months in the hospital before comming home, having care givers, medical and physiotherapy treatment at home.
UK might have its issues ohh but no way you can compare naija where you cannot determine if the drugs the drugs given to you in the hospitals are genuine in the first place.

They already knew that your condition isn't too bad hence you're not a priority.

Chai. Na wa o. God help us

In the one year and four months I spent during my MSc in the UK, I never saw a consultant physician or any doctor at all in a so-called NHS teaching hospital.

I however saw GP at GP Surgery on several occasions.

In the UK, the average specialist training for doctors take seven to eight years, few doctors are willing to undergo that; they'd rather do a 3-yr GP programme. I believe most of their doctors are GPs.

uche87:
On the 30th of January, 2026, I fell ill while at work. After struggling through the rest of the day, I returned home to rest. When my condition worsened, I decided to visit the Accident and Emergency (A&E) unit at my local hospital.

I arrived at exactly 10:13 pm. Within a minute, I was booked in by the receptionist and asked to wait. Shortly after, a nurse called me, took my details, and recorded my vital signs. I was then asked to return to the waiting area to see a doctor. That moment never came.

Instead, I was called twice more by nurses to repeat the same observations, each time urged to remain patient. A notice board nearby displayed the previous day’s estimated waiting time — seven hours. My ordeal lasted until 9:30 am the following morning. I never saw a doctor. Eventually, a specialist nurse briefly attended to me, offered verbal reassurance, handed me a leaflet, and asked me to leave. The A&E waiting area became a temporary shelter. People turned chairs into makeshift beds. Others left in frustration. The environment was chaotic. Police officers intermittently brought in injured suspects in handcuffs, adding to the tension and discomfort.

As I sat there, exhausted and unwell, my thoughts drifted back to Nigeria. I remembered a day in 2016 at a government hospital in FESTAC Town, Lagos, when my condition deteriorated so badly that the crowd insisted I jump the queue. I also recalled how, at the private hospital attached to the multinational firm I worked for, I could see a doctor within five to ten minutes.
Now, in the UK, seeing a doctor sometimes feels like winning a lottery. According to The Sun, 554,018 patients in England waited 12 hours or more in A&E in 2025. Data from the Nuffield Trust shows that during peak periods, over 61,000 patients per month experienced 12+ hour waits — around 11% of all emergency admissions. At a minimum of 12 hours per patient, this amounts to over 6.6 million hours lost annually.

Unsurprisingly, many Nigerians living in the UK now travel back home for major surgeries and treatments. It is often faster, cheaper, and far less stressful.

While the quality of healthcare in the UK and Nigeria may appear worlds apart, few imagined that Nigeria would one day serve as a medical lifeline for those living abroad.

Beyond healthcare, the economic reality is equally sobering. Many Nigerians sold land, cars, and family properties to relocate. Today, they struggle under hyper-inflated rents, rising energy bills, and high living costs, barely staying afloat.
Securing a white-collar job often feels like requiring divine intervention. The system appears structured to trap certain groups within physically demanding, low-paying roles. Warehouse work destroys the body. The care sector drains emotional and physical strength. Mental health support work, though meaningful, exposes workers to extreme violence and psychological trauma.

NHS England records over 100,000 violent incidents against healthcare staff annually — an average of 285 assaults every day. In June 2025, Irene Wanjiru Mbugua, a 48-year-old care worker originally from Kenya, was tragically killed by a patient in the West Midlands. While rare, such incidents reveal the severe dangers frontline healthcare workers face daily.

Social conditions are no less concerning. 21% of people in the UK — about 14.2 million individuals — live in poverty. Without social safety nets, this figure would skyrocket. Additionally, 24 million people receive at least one form of state benefit, including pensions, disability support, and working-age benefits, highlighting the scale of economic vulnerability.

In terms of safety, police recorded 53,047 knife-related offences in England and Wales in the year ending March 2025. While the UK remains safer than Nigeria overall, rising violent crime remains deeply troubling.

For parents seeking better opportunities for their children, another danger lurks — hard drugs. Government data shows 16,212 children aged 17 and below were in drug and alcohol treatment between April 2024 and March 2025, a 13% increase from the previous year. This underscores the growing exposure of young people to harmful substances.

Meanwhile, in Nigeria, social life thrives. Community bonds remain strong. Laughter is louder. Life feels fuller. In contrast, the UK work culture often reduces life to an endless cycle of work, bills, exhaustion, and survival. Tragically, between 2024 and 2025, several Nigerian students and workers collapsed and died in the UK due to stress and exhaustion, including cases in South Wales and Hertfordshire.

I’ll end on a lighter note. The stress levels here are so intense that almost everyone snores like old power generators. Many refuse to believe it — until shown video evidence. This was never the case back home.

The hustle has shifted gears. And this one runs at a dangerously high speed.

Whoever the op is, I sympathize with him in advance as I expect that some people would insult him based on their limited knowledge of the subject.

Waiting time is one of the prime problems of NHS aside work overload for employees. This is understandable because health care was designed to be free in the UK, although there are some cases that require out-of-pocket expenses. This free access and limited NHS budget creates a situation where service users have to stay on the queue, sometimes for long period.

When you contrast it with the speed with which you can access medical care in Nigeria you begin to appreciate what you enjoy back home. However, the upside is that you can enjoy top-notch medical care at almost no cost at the point of access in the UK. So, I believe that it is a trade-off and one has to weigh the pro and cons based on one's peculiar situation.

A former colleague of mine, now a doctor in the NHS said she lost a phalanx of her finger as a result of having to wait for long in the A & E prior to being a doctor. If she didn't tell you, you would think she's part of the Japanese mob, Yakuza, where a phalanx is often donated.

Who's tired should come back home. We are not interested in all these stories.

The OP is based here in Nigeria, and will die here. How can you compare health care system in the UK to that of Nigeria. Too much lies in Nairaland

CommonSense1967:
People are going to Nigeria for medical services.
A friend just flew to Nigeria for dental services from the US.
He paid less than 100k for the same service that they were asking for 2k dollars.

If you go to Emergency dept in the US, that's when you will understand the situation.
Unless you are bleeding or dying from heart attack, you will be at the wailing area from night till morning.
Many times, people just get upset and leave. I have done that before.

Same way friend brought his daughter for treatment here in nigeria and I hardly believe is reality.

LordIsaac:
If it were years ago before I went abroad, I would disagree with you 100%; now I know better!

Sir you are in the UK too ?

hegelian:

Bottom line: No Place Is Heaven! There are always pros and cons.
But we in Nigeria refuse to believe that, despite all the evidence. Abroad is all good, Nigeria all bad!

The culture of having to have a hospital with a CMD and the associated college with a provost, the two being in eternal battle and hatred seems to be in the UK too.

I got to a small medical centre in Greater London, it was three in one: a dermatology clinic, a normal GP and a third in which I can't remember, their kiosks or cubicles from where their admin take or reject patients were side by side, I was surprised.

The NHS is too complex. During Brexit, Boris Johnson promised millions of pounds, na audio money. In the UK, esp. the last Tory dispensation, they were just quoting millions or billions of pounds. In that respect, they're like we Nigerians quoting money that does not exist and blatant contract inflation.

You as well can also leave Nigeria and go confirm what he stated. No law mandates him to return, you can also go and verify.

Yes,no law mandates him to return,but his opinion,if misleading can alter the intentions or progress made so far by those intending to go…..if it’s so bad that you one has to travel back to Nigeria for major surgeries or medical issues,what exactly is he still doing there? Let him come back.

You're partially right but you're missing something because you don't work in the health system
There's what is called triage in A&E..after taking your observations, your condition was not considered too serious compared to others
In USA, there is a unit called Urgent Care where cases that are not life threatening are dealt with like fever, cough, flu and rest

You are talking right from been there. Leave the haters here. They won't still believe you. The A & E experience had been like that for years.

Many of our medical students are already planning on how to JAapa.. no time to waste it.

So, what if someone has Malaria plus typhoid? It might not be emergency but that that deadly comboo kills too.

I thank God for good health o.

My brother yarn fact here.If say economy good for Naija, There's no place like home joor..

With this scenario and the first hand experience from the author of this article, my thoughts about Nigerian politicians has been confirmed.
Nigerian politicians are stupid, illiterates and foolish.

Imagine if they read this article and commence serious work on it.
Healthcare budget increase, give the ministry 3yrs to revamp and fix the health sector, in no time we will be both exporter of medical personnel and also making huge funds from medical tourism cos of excellent health facilities.

This is possible, but an average Nigerian politician does not want to share same facility with a commoner.

We r so fixated with the Class mentality...

Nigeria is this, Nigeria is that. I can't trade my personal happiness, goal, freedom, status and comfort for anything, not even for my family.

Yes, you heard me. Some men have pushed themselves beyond their capacity, all because of " my children ". I come first before any thing else, and I am very intentional about it. I can do anything for my children and family but not at expense of my health, comfort and happiness.

If the place or UK you are complaining is not good them return back to Nigeria na...no need for too much of grammar and talk

HacheNoire:

You can sway people who aren't familiar with your antics here. We know you very well, and we know your trade, and it's a cheap and shameless one. The supporters of an evil party and an incompetent ruler like Tinubu will always support baseless posts like this. I pity people who listen to APC sponsored anti-japa posts like this one. They want young promising youths to suffer in the hellfire they've created.

You need to understand the system to make it work for you.

There are 3 levels of medical care in the UK system.
GP - your first and default call.
Urgent GP - if you fall ill on weekend or public holiday, or outside business hours and you can't wait.
A&E - life threatening issues.

Unless you have serious symptoms like heavy bleeding, heart pains, respiratory distress, fainting, shock, etc. Don't go to A&E, they will keep pushing more serious cases ahead of you on the queue, until the pressure eases. That is what happened to you.

However, Japan has its pros & cons.


Nigerians planning to Japan will be calculating
the thousands of pounds dem go dey
collect as salary, forgetting they will be
spending the money in the UK (not Nigeria)
and the system will immediately collect
everything back.

When you are collectiing N800k/ month
in 9ja and paying N2m/ year for rent. You now
japa & earning £3000/ month ( About N8m equivalent).

Your eye go clear when your monthly
rent go be £1000 ( N2m😨😱😰), fuel & energy bill £600 ( over N1m), before you begin
think of feeding & other matters.

Na there you go enter wetin be rat🐀🐭 race wet nor dey finish..

I understand this calculation but my life is still better in the UK than what it was in Nigeria.
I am a medical doctor in the UK

Here in Nigeria in the federal government teaching hospitals in Nigeria ( JOSHESU members)... pharmacists, science laboratory workers, x ray department and department and other workers were on strike since November 2025 ..they just called off the strike this February 2026...
