Lies fueled by NMA to boost their ego. when thousands of doctors don't have jobs in Nigeria!

Mrpsly247:
it ain't just doctor's.. Nigeria is facing a brain drain collapse that is going to destroy the nation.. in every sector to mention the most intellectual & skilled are being lured away with scholarships and better work opportunities.. we often think we are overpopulated.. but most don't know that in the nearest future we are going to be having problems of underpopulation around the world and underdevelopment and overpopulation here in Nigerian because the pace setters and knowledge workers would be poached by foreign nations leaving only empty human shells and mediocre talents to pilot the affairs of the country

undefeateds:
I thought ngige once said those doctors that want to leave can leave, we already have enough doctors

Ugosample:
is it not what I have been saying?

in the next 10 years; Nigeria is dooomed to be populated by mostly idiots, agbero; thugs, illiterates, hawkers and shoe shiners

una never see anything

VULCAN:
Unfortunately for your ilk, the rate of medical brain drain skyrocketed when ur illeterate Principal stole 2015 election.

Between 2010 and 2014 many diaspora returned home.

But they began to turn back in 2015

Wonder why?

KingMEXX:
Let's have a discussion based off on the bolded part of your statement. Can you back that statement by highlighting one or two things that are gradually changing for good in the health sector?

But, what did you people expect?

You voted a semi literate man who has not seen a Nigerian doctor since his army recruitment testing in 1962 to president and you think he will notice that doctors are leaving Nigeria?

To him, they don't even exist.

And the funny thing is that most people don't know the cataclysmic effect of such mediocrity in a developing nation such as ours.. Every tom dick and harry now considers himself knowledgeable and would rather indulge their ignorance than clearly seek expert advice or even worse would attempt to drag such an individual down to their level and ridicule what they don't know...

Kokaine:
we need a revolution in this country. Our kids won't be happy with us if we bequeath them with this geographical boundary called Nigeria. In another twenty years with the way technology is going, an African kid will look like a monkey in the presence of kids in other climes. We will be so backward, talking about election violence, police and SARS robbery and no power supply, while kids in other countries will be about iot devices, programming, telsa batteries, flying automobiles, going to space and more. The contrast will be too much and austerity measures to prevent trans migration will be More. Its so saddening

Can anyone here point to one professional or worker that thinks she is well paid in this country, except of course the politicians?

Accept the fact that we are money mongers that think money can solve all our problems. The shortage of doctors has nothing to do with salary but more to do with training.

How many countries in the world train doctors for other countries, with their curriculum and needs? If you know one, please tell us. If you train your doctors according to other countries needs and curriculum, that is where they will end up.

We need to find out how China, India, Cuba, Russia and many others meet their medical needs more than us. Health issues are not just about doctors and salaries. No amount can satisfy any Nigerian worker. We have no pride in what we do but in what we earn. What about those doctors that left humongous salary abroad to earn peanuts at home (African and foreign doctors)?

Do you guys realize that teachers were the most respectable people in Nigeria while most professionals made more money than them? History, history, history, abi o.

It got worse during Structural Adjustment and massive oil income. Yet, we have not learned that massive riches does not make you wealthy. Call a Nigerian best trained doctor (not the daughter or son of Babalawo) and ask him about parasitic or infectious disease still hiding in the villages. He will be proud to tell you he or she did not learn that in medical school. But ask him about tertiary diseases famous in Europe and America, my Bobo will be beaming with smiles, dislocating them like a professor.

Look, put more money and training in Health Officers (Physician Assistants, they cannot run anywhere) from the schools of medical technology and watch for Primary Health Care boom like Cuba, China and Russia. Abi Chinese and Cuban doctors do not get Nobel Prize in Medicine?
