Wow im actually suprised you came to this conclusion from just what she said!

Have u ever seat back and think of who will take care of the teeming masses that can afford to move in terms of medical requirements?

why are we like this in this country now?

This is an opinionated topic, and i think we are not fair on her- we cant conclude that shes from a rich family... based on what data? do u know what it takes to manage an ordinary maternity home in this country?

Do u know the high rate of motality?

This is very bad!

You mentioned the govt! are these pple aliens?

She is a woman
It would be challenging for a lady to adapt in a foreign country when she migrates
Asper dating ,marriage etc
Unlike a guy who finds it easier to adapt to his new surrounding
And don't forget she might married so it would be even more challenging.

Arrrrrrrh

The first guy above on her tweet have said all. And she couldn't give me a better reply than those feeble words she wrote.

The guy above me have said a fact, his first paragraph have said it all.

Now majority of this Rich arewa guys can't stay oversee completely. They can go out and school there but to stay there, thier parents believe they might throw thier religion or become less religious since they are mixing with other people. Nobody to draw their attention back.

I remember one of my lecturer in school, this man studied in Malaysia and still came back to our school, presently now he's our assistant HOD. If I get the opportunity to leave Nigeria and school there, I won't come back in sooner time. I will make sure I have earn alot before coming to Nigeria to invest. Leaving there doesn't mean I have forsaken oversee no, I will still be in touch with them. I can't invest in an uncertain state alone unless it's not GOD WILL that's the only way I won't leave Nigeria.

You all got it all wrong. Northerners are homogeneous and family oriented in nature. We look forward to being with family both immediate and extended. We look forward to Sallah festivities, family events , the food , being with our community etc. And most of all, we believe in what God has destined for us. What will be, will be. Yes, Nigeria is a shithole country but the thought of moving abroad rarely would cross our mind. We rather manage, slug it out and make the best of things.
But there are exceptions, but at the end of the day , they would still end up in Nigeria.

Nigerians should learn to respect decision made individually or privately. Migration is not for all. No matter the situation, some people are still making the best out of our worst situation.

Happiness, comfort and prosperity is all we seek as people in Nigeria or outside country.

My Sister. You made a wrong decision. Now that you have stayed back, have u changed Nigeria?

Next time, when an opportunity like that comes your way, please take it.

If u were in Canada or America practising medicine, you would have been earning far more than what your currently earning in Nigeria. Then you can now come back and develop this country with your brains and resources.

My 2 kobo
but she might be traveling to that same canada or US for holidays nau
Look at her..she looks like a northerner and must be from a very wealthy hausa/fulani family.probably she doesn't need the money and exposure per say cos it could be obvious she travels overseas during vacations.

Northern muslims hardly migrate to a foreign country to stay permanently.. it's very hard to see that happening because they know In Nigeria, the quota system will favor them as compared to western countries...

One thing I am sure is that she is from a wealthy family, so there is no need leaving the country to start again in a foreign land

You are so so wrong. I was like you before and now I see Northerners too abroad. Wake up guys this guys are suffering what we are suffering no one is enjoying weda quota or no quota system. Most of the Northerners I have met abroad are in things higher than my own pursuit don't just lie fallow thinking every northerner is a common Aboki, u will be wrong and surprised.

That's how somebody will get motivation from the facts that Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg are school drop outs but they won't consider the school they dropped out from and why they did what they did.


She turned it down because she came from a well to do family.


That lady is a liar. She’s just seeking attention to make herself sound patriotic. What opportunity to work in Canada was she on about?

Has she taken the Canadian medical board certification exam? No she hasn’t. If she has passed it, do you think she’d be on social media bragging about working in Nigeria?

Canada is not looking for poor folks.
You must be comfortable before relocating to Canada. Its not US visa lottery.Their requirements ensures that. I hope you know how much you are required to have before migrating. Again nothing for you if you no go school

Few Arewa people migrate to settle outside Nigeria. The civil war was won for Arewa.
Before long, Fatima can become Health Minister or even president of Nigeria due to the skewed political structure of Nigeria created by Arewa soldiers.

So who is surprised that Fatima would neglect Canada for Nigeria?

What exactly do people mean by "stay back or return back to contribute to the country"?

It's easy for this lady as she's a doctor.. she feels content and comfortable even though her wages and living conditions are quite substandard compared to her counterparts in other countries...

she's a typical Nigerian who has the thought process of 'as long as I'm comfortable, everyone else can go to hell' ...

..what about millions of Nigerian youths who studied other courses in uni and haven't been able to get a job? Young people wasting away with no hope for the future..
They should all start businesses right? What businesses if I may ask? Hair dressing, poultry, small chops and farming? The government has no plans for the future of its youths.

Those who believe that it is the citizen's job to fix Nigeria, please what is our government there for? what is their responsibility?
Thanks dear, having lived in the North, when you see a female medical doctor, my dear no be from near poor family o, them rich die. These people never visited the kitchen, they would have married since 15years, with a maid, in an extremely beautiful house, with everything they would ever need, they will have cars and drivers to take them to university and back, all medical students are collecting salary, their tuition fee is free, after graduating, they don't suffer to look for any job, they have it already. I know many of them in medical school, specifically Usman danfodio, now tell me why they need to go to Canada?
They already had everything since teenage years, house, cars, marriage, and many things we aspire for as a youth. Ask their father the source of the income and you will see that many of them are just the brother to a governor, councillor, and are in various political offices.
The money that should have circulated the entire country is in the pocket of some people. These people do not struggle like the rest of us, the poor people in the North don't send their female children to schools, not to tall of studying medicine.

Did you not apply for that “opportunity”? People like this always talk like the opportunity just came out of nowhere.

You applied and were qualified so they accepted you. You then decided not to move, in which case, why apply to begin with if your plan was always to stay and die in Naija??


Like your reasoning. She had to apply for the opportunity... which means she had planned going abroad....then turned it down. I believe xProfx is on point ... she turned it down when she learned of the rigorous tests and regulations one has to go through to be able to practice as a doctor.
On opportunity to become a doctor abroad .... I believe it is on merit and has nothing to do whether the family is rich or poor. Money decides if you can take the opportunity or not.... money to migrate and cover expenses during the course.

Second twitter responder is wrong. Choosing to remain in Nigeria isn’t dependant on affluence. I have personal experience of this. We've brought over to the Uk several distant relations that live poorly (as poor as majority that live poorly in Nigeria) and they have not liked Britain at all. They all returned. One of them had the option of marrying someone in order to remain in Uk, she too declined and returned to Nigeria. Reading articles by Nigerians complaining of Nigeria and calling Nigeria hell and giving the impression that abroad is heaven, I sometimes wonder if I’m the only Nigerian whose relatives are totally uninterested in Abroad.
That's your own personal case,.... and the lady is still very wrong.

The immediate commenter on her post hit the nail on the right head.

That's how people like her do ... when it becomes to being too convenient.

Meanwhile, for people who really know where they're going.... it's so glaring that Nigeria is not encouraging.

She's just looking for attention, and I'm sure she never had any chance to go to any abroad, most girls in the North that did medicine can never hope to travel abroad because there's no reason to. 1. They get paid in medical schools, 2. Tuition is free, 3. They are married since age 15
4. They have a house, personal car and drivers since age 15
5. They have a maid already, they have a house etc
Why will they need to go abroad, tell me

The social term for what you are suffering from is called: INFERIORITY COMPLEX.

It is simply what all of you folks from that society suffers from. You see a fair lady, and boom....the next thing you think is how to wife her. Believing that making her one of your already many wives will increase your societal acceptance. And then, you get disappointed. ���

Just stay in nepotism filled aboki land and remain the community champion. Canadians will make you pass through fire before they allow you to practice there regardless of if your dad is related to Dangote or not.

You are lying bros, or you don't know the meaning of poverty. If your relatives cannot feed and no shelter in Nigeria, I bet my life, them no go step Nigeria again. Its like you people don't even know the rate at which Nigerians are poor, some people are working day in day out,but still can't feed their family. One man I know is a dry cleaner with 2children, he works tirelessly, they still don't have near proper home,they are suffering.
