Pls, which is better between plab and usmle? We have answered this question. Read past comments on this thread

Can I take step 2 CK in Nigeria? Not sure about this. I think only in U.S. google it

While waiting for and acquainting with the US clinicals in prep for step2 CS, can one get a medical job(locum or likes) or how can one survive?
Not very sure about this. people in U,S practice can give u a better answer

I was also told that to get a locum job or similar non-training(while waiting for residence) jobs in the UK is hard. How true is this?
I seriously doubt this. Work is presently available everywhere. Depends on you

Racial differences play a role and there's no reward for excellence in the UK. How true?. I learnt the consultants under whom one works for in non-training jobs refuse their employees letters of recommendations? Some do but use derogatory remarks thus limiting ones chances?
Possibly true....Guy, your black skin will always be a disadvantage grin. But since when has that ever stopped a Nigerian huh
If you see oyibo people dey throw HEAVY racist shade eh, u go believe
Most will look through you like you are invisible
Some will pretend they don't notice you- That is, until u make a mistake
Then, you will know that they know ur name, age, GMC number and name of ur village 4 naija grin
Look, oyibo people are intrinsically racist and biased against blacks. They just can't help themselves. Sometimes they don't even know when they do it.
BUT, so what? Thatz life. Handle it. In fact u can often use it against them.
The caucasian race is under threat of extinction in U.K and europe.
half are heterosexual who only have 1-2 kids or none
the other one quarter are homosexual and mostly don't have kids
The remainder are nutcases, have cancer or are infertile
Asians, pakis,indians and blacks are reproducing like jack rabbits
50 years from now, caucasians could be a minority in their own countries cry
I say this devoid of hatred or bias but with the utmost sympathy for all involved...

We have said it times without number that this govt does nt respects human right. If his followers attacked ur convoy as claimed, why attack their leader and bulldozed his house and place of worship? What do u want to achieve by killing hundreds of his followers? Is it that u want to send them into extinction? In democracy there is freedom of association and the right to life. This is pure genocide and every body that believes in the sanctity of life must stand up and condemn this injustice. It is also a message to those shouting Biafra, do it with caution because we are in a military regime now, your own crackdown will be a child play. God bless Nigeria.

Apologies for not replying earlier.
Been a bit busy last few weeks

As per your questions, like somebody said above, if you take time to read al the posts on this page or even the last 6 pages, you will see ALL the answers to the same questions you are asking now.

We can't keep on repeating the same answers again and again.

However, to summarize
Nothing is easy in this world.
YOU have to go out and TAKE IT.
I don't have a crystal ball into the future, as U.K visa rules are fluid and can always change.
Even now they are trying to reduce locum pay from £20-£60/hour to lower amounts by april 2016.
It may probably be unsuccessful as they have tried it before 4-5 years ago.
Thing is, even if they succeed in reducing it, with the income you get, the quality of life is far better than in nigeria.
The only thing is that it will make you work harder.
Naija man no dey fear work naa. All na hustle...
I can't expose methods of maximizing your net income on this forum as it can also attract oversight from UK border agency and Her majesty's revenue service.
Suffice it to say, there are ways round every problem. Locum agencies will guide u.
The whole world is fluid right now, there is no job security anywhere!
Anything can happen anytime, thatz why u have to be sharp and fast and have PLANS A, B, C,D and E in case of wahala.
Your life is your own, NOBODY can make decisions for u and ur family.
I know most doctors abroad love nigeria and would prefer to stay there. BUT, they will frustrate u in nigeria. The consultants, the pay, the equipment, access to materials, electricity, transport etc
Out of curiosity, can i ask the HOUSE, how many actual successful CPR resuscitations have you seen in Nigeria in your clinical practice??
Nothing stops one from acquiring a foreign fellowship-especially now that you are young.
And still come back to Nigeria at the end of your surgeon abroad to practice in 9ja, impact on the younger ones and die a blissful death in the village.
You need a certain level of desperation and self-confidence in this search for greener pastures abroad. Not everybody can do it.

Please i need a good explanation & the real bitter truth about all these as im about taking a major life changing decision.

Nairaland GeneralBlack Slaves More Expensive Than White Irish Slaves by rugged7(op): 7:47pm On Dec 12, 2015
The Irish Slave Trade – The Forgotten “White” Slaves

The Slaves That Time Forgot
Originally published in 2008:

They came as slaves; vast human cargo transported on tall British ships bound for the Americas. They were shipped by the hundreds of thousands and included men, women, and even the youngest of children.

Whenever they rebelled or even disobeyed an order, they were punished in the harshest ways. Slave owners would hang their human property by their hands and set their hands or feet on fire as one form of punishment. They were burned alive and had their heads placed on pikes in the marketplace as a warning to other captives.

We don’t really need to go through all of the gory details, do we? We know all too well the atrocities of the African slave trade.

But, are we talking about African slavery? King James II and Charles I also led a continued effort to enslave the Irish. Britain’s famed Oliver Cromwell furthered this practice of dehumanizing one’s next door neighbor.

The Irish slave trade began when James II sold 30,000 Irish prisoners as slaves to the New World. His Proclamation of 1625 required Irish political prisoners be sent overseas and sold to English settlers in the West Indies. By the mid 1600s, the Irish were the main slaves sold to Antigua and Montserrat. At that time, 70% of the total population of Montserrat were Irish slaves.

Ireland quickly became the biggest source of human livestock for English merchants. The majority of the early slaves to the New World were actually white.

From 1641 to 1652, over 500,000 Irish were killed by the English and another 300,000 were sold as slaves. Ireland’s population fell from about 1,500,000 to 600,000 in one single decade. Families were ripped apart as the British did not allow Irish dads to take their wives and children with them across the Atlantic. This led to a helpless population of homeless women and children. Britain’s solution was to auction them off as well.

During the 1650s, over 100,000 Irish children between the ages of 10 and 14 were taken from their parents and sold as slaves in the West Indies, Virginia and New England. In this decade, 52,000 Irish (mostly women and children) were sold to Barbados and Virginia. Another 30,000 Irish men and women were also transported and sold to the highest bidder. In 1656, Cromwell ordered that 2000 Irish children be taken to Jamaica and sold as slaves to English settlers.

Many people today will avoid calling the Irish slaves what they truly were: Slaves. They’ll come up with terms like “Indentured Servants” to describe what occurred to the Irish. However, in most cases from the 17th and 18th centuries, Irish slaves were nothing more than human cattle.

As an example, the African slave trade was just beginning during this same period. It is well recorded that African slaves, not tainted with the stain of the hated Catholic theology and more expensive to purchase, were often treated far better than their Irish counterparts.

African slaves were very expensive during the late 1600s (50 Sterling). Irish slaves came cheap (no more than 5 Sterling). If a planter whipped or branded or beat an Irish slave to death, it was never a crime. A death was a monetary setback, but far cheaper than killing a more expensive African. The English masters quickly began breeding the Irish women for both their own personal pleasure and for greater profit. Children of slaves were themselves slaves, which increased the size of the master’s free workforce. Even if an Irish woman somehow obtained her freedom, her kids would remain slaves of her master. Thus, Irish moms, even with this new found emancipation, would seldom abandon their kids and would remain in servitude.

In time, the English thought of a better way to use these women (in many cases, girls as young as 12) to increase their market share: The settlers began to breed Irish women and girls with African men to produce slaves with a distinct complexion. These new “mulatto” slaves brought a higher price than Irish livestock and, likewise, enabled the settlers to save money rather than purchase new African slaves. This practice of interbreeding Irish females with African men went on for several decades and was so widespread that, in 1681, legislation was passed “forbidding the practice of mating Irish slave women to African slave men for the purpose of producing slaves for sale.” In short, it was stopped only because it interfered with the profits of a large slave transport company.

England continued to ship tens of thousands of Irish slaves for more than a century. Records state that, after the 1798 Irish Rebellion, thousands of Irish slaves were sold to both America and Australia. There were horrible abuses of both African and Irish captives. One British ship even dumped 1,302 slaves into the Atlantic Ocean so that the crew would have plenty of food to eat.

There is little question that the Irish experienced the horrors of slavery as much (if not more in the 17th Century) as the Africans did. There is, also, very little question that those brown, tanned faces you witness in your travels to the West Indies are very likely a combination of African and Irish ancestry. In 1839, Britain finally decided on it’s own to end it’s participation in Satan’s highway to hell and stopped transporting slaves. While their decision did not stop pirates from doing what they desired, the new law slowly concluded THIS chapter of nightmarish Irish misery.

But, if anyone, black or white, believes that slavery was only an African experience, then they’ve got it completely wrong.

Irish slavery is a subject worth remembering, not erasing from our memories.

But, where are our public (and PRIVATE) schoolshuh? Where are the history books? Why is it so seldom discussed?

Do the memories of hundreds of thousands of Irish victims merit more than a mention from an unknown writer?

Or is their story to be one that their English pirates intended: To (unlike the African book) have the Irish story utterly and completely disappear as if it never happened.

None of the Irish victims ever made it back to their homeland to describe their ordeal. These are the lost slaves; the ones that time and biased history books conveniently forgot.
