Countries like India will not be worried.

It's a shame that Nigeria cannot produce high end medicine like antivirals.

It's not rocket science.

saxywale1:
I am not sure about the UK, but I highly doubt if the US are poaching Nigerian doctors. Unlike the UK, it's very hard for a foreign trained doctor trained outside the US, Canada or some Carribean medical schools to practice in the US.

Maybe on a normal day.
But these are not normal times.

I read it not too long ago when the US secretary of states on twitter, asked doctors, and health workers all over the world qualified in public health, to approach the US embassies in their countries and apply for a temporary work visa.

justwise:
..and you think that the UK govt will fly into Nigeria to pick up those doctors without informing the Nigerian govt? And they will travel without a visa?

I don't know if that is true or not

But I am sure moving to the UK as a doctor is easier right now than it has ever been.

The Nigerian govt should send a strongly worded message to the UK and the US consulates.

Poaching our doctors would not be tolerated.

The lives of your citizens are not more important than Nigerian lives.

justwise:
The Uk did not start any visa waiver for doctors wishing to travel to the UK to work, there is nothing like that.

Show me that link to support your false claim.

The UK only gave foreign doctors working in the UK an automatic visa extension without paying for visa fees and ILR to health care families who lost their loved ones working for NHS during this period

I also saw something like that on twitter.

Doctors are in high demand right now.

Even the US embassy under Trump created a waiver for doctors to come and work in America.

I saw a UK link on twitter asking for doctors from poor countries to come to the NHS right in the midst of a global pandemic.

I blasted them heavily and asked them to train their own doctors.

Morals and humanity disappears in the face of poverty and these UK and even the US parasites are preying on that fact to deprive poor countries of their own doctors.

Idyllic:
UK has started visa waivers for doctors who want to travel to UK to resume work. Go to UKVI website and enlighten yourself bro.

Of course, they will.

They are telling you the health of their citizens are more important than the health of your uncles and aunties in Nigeria.

Parasitism and extreme nationalism at its worst.

I don't think the UK will care though.

golddare:
Thats what happens when you pay professionals peanuts. They should not worry, last last tradomedical doctors will take over.

Nigeria is a poor country.

Nigeria Cannot pay you as much as the UK.

If you don't know this, it is sad.

It is igbo flocking to other regions that would make igbos dominate Federal service.

It is igbos flocking to other region that made the vice chancellor of unilag and made non igbo Federal schools to be presided by igbo

The first vice chancellor of unilag is Eni Njoku.

One clown is saying that it was because of igbos flocking to Lagos that made him supersede the Yoruba indigenes.

Lol.

Ahmadu bello a ruling northern leader did a video on igbos.

He did not focus on anybody else but igbos.

And somebody with a brain is arguing if igbos dominated.

Salewa97:
Stop saying nonsense. Which west did the Igbos dominated? What are the Igbos investment in the Western Region?

Are you sure you are okay? Where did the Igbos dominate during the Western Region days?

I’m telling you the Eastern Region is poor compared to the Western Region and that is a fact.

Yes Southern Region was richer during the colonialist era and that’s comprised of the Yoruba lands also. They are all called south and the Lagos colony.

Even Ojuku and Azikwe cannot say the Igbos dominate the west during the regional government, people will just think they are insane to utter such statement.

Don't quote me again.

You don't know zilch.

Salewa97:
Eastern Region did not start commercial exploration of crude oil pre-1967 before the war and they are not rich them.

What the bleep is palm oil compared to Cocoa? Do you want me to give you data of the revenue of each region from the marketing boards?

Eastern Region cannot even lace the shoes of the prosperous Western Region.
See below!

Are you talking about palm oil that the British government were already exporting to Europe as colonial masters?

Why was the north almagamated with the South, if the south was not already rich?

You don't know what you are talking about.

I did not say the West was poor. That is a figment of your imagination.

I am saying the igbos of those days led by azikiwe were so nationally dominant that they controlled everything which led to envy.

It didn't matter if it was in the West or north. They were dominant.

That dominance if allowed to continue would have led to a surplus of igbo billionaires.

Salewa97:
Ogbeni you think you are talking to a kid here. What economic ability does the Eastern Region has during those days?

Eastern Region is even the poorest region and that is a fact.

Western Region is nobody’s mate at that time and that reflected in the Regional marketing board revenues that showed Western Region are the richest. Are you contesting this?

If The foolish Nzeogwu had not done that coup, the Igbos would have been queuing up in the embassies to see the Yoruba glory of the western region with the trajectory Awolowo was following then.

Yoruba don’t need to run like refuges to the Northeen region to dominate the lesser educated Hausas during those period, we have the education and wealth in our region already.

What economic advantage did the eastern region have?
Are you taking about the eastern region that had the South east, south south, rich in palm oil exportation which was the crude oil of the western world then.

Don't quote me again.

Bigotry has rendered you incapable of reason.

If igbos had the connections to be the pioneer heads of Yoruba oldest universities and Federal services

Is it Forbes list they wouldn't have dominated if it continued ?

Salewa97:
Ahmadu Bello said that because Igbo people keep flocking to other Region like refugees and trying to take Jobs away from the Northerners due to the fact that the Hausas are not that literate then.

That was why he made mention that the Job for the North should only be for their kids and foreign expatriates.

If you study that period, you will see that there are less number of Northerners in the federal jobs also because the Southerners have taken everything.

If Yorubas had flocked in our millions to other regions too, it would have been the same.

It’s a regional government and he has the right to moderate it when Igbo leave their own region to become depended on other people’s region resources.

That is a lie and you know it.

The video is on YouTube.

Ahmadu bello was afraid of igbo economic domination staring him right in the face.

Igbos controlled the palm oil and crude oil rich areas too as part of our regional bloc and had the advantage of a large pool of highly educated populace which meant that dominated the public service.

If that had continued unstopped, your Yoruba ancestors till today would not have seen our brake lights.

You should be grateful to ojukwu. He ruined a good thing.

Though it could be argued that igbo envy caused the igbo pogroms in the north that made ojukwu act.

BTW, nobody mentioned Ebeano supermarket.

That is one igbo business with a serious future.

Obamaofusa:
The only Igbo businessman of note was Louis Ojukwu because Igbo and real business cannot stay in the same sentence like Yoruba.

Yoruba had a lot of renowned and successful businessmen and women like Esan Darocha and his son,Da Rocha who was the first richest man in Africa...Odutola,Sir Mobolaji Bank Anthony etc.

Are you talking about the same igbos that were so dominant that ahmadu bello had to rally the north in that infamous speech of how igbos have taken over everywhere.

You certainly don't know what you are saying.

I don't blame you.

If not for ojukwu shortsightedness and rashness that ruined a good time, you won't be this deluded today.

solmus:
Typical victim mentality

It is the fact though.

While others were reaping the spoils of war especially with the indigenisaton policy, igbos lost all and lost out in the sharing.

If the igbo rich men in those days did not lose all including their connections after the war, there is nothing stopping them from being billionaires today.

it's common sense.

solmus:
Typical of a village chestbeater

Forbes billionaire are poor, chestbeating villagers are rich

I think the civil war really impacted igbo opportunity to have Forbes billionaires until now.
They started from scratch.

If igbos had continued to dominate the way they did in 60s without that civil war, they would have dominated Forbes list from Nigeria.

Commonsense99:
You are not an igbo man Dude, We know ourselves.. We know what we want.

The igbos of today want out, the division is actually between the best strategy to go about it. They are divided between two opinions, half want restructuring, believing it will buy us some time to straregize our eventual pullout. the other half want out outright pullout of biafra and damn the consequence.
No group of igbos wants any business with presidency, as at this July 2020.
This is why I laugh when I hear people from zamfara and Ogbomosho tyring to dangle a stale unwanted meat to our faces let them eat their presid1ocy, we are officially done with project Nigeria.

If you are a true representation of igbos, then it is true when they say igbos are emotional idiots.

You want restructuring or you want to pull out of Nigeria.
You will get none of those and nothing will happen.
What do you even have that needs restructuring?

The south west and south south needs it more.

The only thing that will happen is that others will continue to govern Nigeria and ensure the south east remain starved of presence and infrastructure, while the igbo children will join their fathers as economic exiles across Nigeria looking for restructuring or biafra that will never come.

Olodo. See your mouth like you are not a real igbo.

You are saying igbos are stupid.

It is good.
It will reduce capital flight to an extent.
Though many will still find alternative destinations to waste our money.

SLAP44:
We don't think so Mr Yerima, in fact, giving an Igbo man the presidency in this skewed atmosphere where tribalism is the order of the day will be counter productive to the Igbo. The Igbo thinks differently from all others and aims for excellence, with the constitution as wrong as the one Nigeria practice, and with the federal structure made to favor the north, it will be mission impossible to save Nigeria.

Hold your presidency while we aim for our own.

Speak for yourself.

Stop self sabotaging igbo people.

how is this man not yet behind bars?

The perfect role model for the Nigerian girl child.

There is no height you can't reach as a girl if you have the intelligence and the determination to match it.

If Ngozi from ogwashi-uku, delta state can do it, any girl can.

King44:
They are not grand patrons in stealing... Me too I just begin dey wonder.... It seems..... I just don't know.....i think Fulani's should be the reason..... Hausas of then they don't get their hands dirty in stealing or lying but now Hausas and Fulanis go together..... They are ready to steal anything so financially and morally corrupt more than Southerners.

Their looting is unparalleled.

When northerners steal, they steal without leaving remnants.

And there are too many of them.

AnanseK:
I laugh in German

One should not speak Ill of the dead, but Dora the drama queen was most successful in deceiving Nigerians about fake integrity.
When the scam about the Lagos and abuja houses were being exposed she staged the drama of people after her life, with fake evidence of gun shot and all as smokescreen.

For Peter Obi who “invested” billions of Naira of state money into his family business is definitely an audacious corrupt individual not different from Desiani Madueke and Stella Oduah.
You are looking for an honest South Easterner , you will perhaps find him in Indonesian or Thailand Prison or Chinese detention Centre for drug couriers.

I don't expect an abokiii to know good things.

Your hopeless leaders have damaged your people to the point where banditry and kidnapping is now a better career for northern youths than agriculture.

I wouldn't have cared one bit if it was not unfortunately rubbing off on good people down south.

List the top 10 most corrupt Nigerian politicians of all times, northerners would make the top 8.

There is a never ending conveyor belt of high corrupt northerners.
IBB, abacha, babachrir Lawal, atiku, maina dasuki and 90% of your governors since 1999.
The list is endless.

They just found $9.8 million dollars cash in the house of a former northern nnpc chairman which he claimed was a gift.

When discussing integrity, northerners should shut up if they had any shame.

frog12:
almost all of them have worked with wto or trade except okonjo and the saudi.

okonjo should go sit down.

So her World Bank experience counts for nothing?

Do you think they play there ?

AnanseK:
Let the truth be told. It is difficult enough to find an honest Northerner, how on earth can you find a Southerner who can resist all the bribes and huge ammounts Of money around him?

To appointment a Southerner ( especially from SE) to Head EFCC or NDLEA is like appointing the hyena to look after your herd of sheep.

They are struggling even in Police and customs work. Check out any major customs seizure of goods , a Northern Officer is behind it, for southern officers that is good business.

Both Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan realized that.

There is no northerner in politics with the integrity of Dora akunyili and Peter obi.

You lots have turned our country into a corrupt cesspit.
Turned Nnpc into a worthless ATM machine.

Developed Switzerland and Dubai with our gulf war windfall to the extent we are still recovering fractions of the money till tomorrow.

South east kee you there.

seanfer:
We’ve had 2 presidents from the South and none of them seem it fit to appoint a southerner. They appointed a Northerner, let’s stop this wailing without reasoning. These 2 asking now we’re okay with the northerner appointed by GEJ. Now they’re complaining.

If southerner puts north there, can't the north put south there?

Instead of you to call out buhari for tribalism.

roszilman:
not just new, some countries are already rejecting nigerians as stuents bcoz of de criminal and terrorism act in de country...
De assumed nigeria is allowing de terrorism.

Any country that rejects Nigerian students does not have a good education worth paying for in the first place. Ii

I have nothing to do with Dubai.

I don't care
