Let me educate you a little.
A house officer in Nigeria is what is referred to as an intern in the U.S. and other countries.

Hospitals in other climes are not mandated to pay interns a fixed amount as it was the case in Nigeria. Hospitals are not obligated to pay interns, they might do this at their owe volition. Intact, in the U.S., interns (house officers) pay to enter the training.

We in Nigeria choose to bastardise everything in our country because we can.

The head of civil service, the Labour minister and the Health minister are all medical doctors, they know better and have risen up to do the right thing.

Lawyers in Nigeria do their own intern program too during Law School, they do not demand to be paid.

There's nothing like house officer in USA.
Internship in USA is the first year of resident training.
And yes...they are paid and it's mandatory with average salary of $50,000.

FunkyAlhaji2015:
Housemanship is a mandatory understudying a intern undergoes to become a doctor. It is never obligatory to pay an intern, since it's a training program. Payment of an intern is a prerogative of the hiring hospital.

I challenge u to name 2 non communist countries that don't pay house officers.
Just 2 and with evidence.
And pls b4 u get busy with Google...make sure u know the difference btw house officer, an intern and a resident as it applies to different countries.

Nursing practitioners are basically in the USA where they run their clinics and diagnose and treat. You seen to be the person jealous here because I clearly stated that Nigerian consultants in the UK studio to medicine (MBBS) in the UK. Find out and get your facts right. Nigerian doctors doing GP in UK are mostly the ones who get employed from Nigeria here through work agencies in the Uk. They are mostly or not always given GP and emergency and they sign contracts too. So get your facts right.

And Hell NO, I’m not jealous of anybody. My dad is a medical doctor and two of my sisters are doctors. One in Nigeria the other in USA. I’m an engineer and I’m in the UK. I love engineering and it was my dream to always be an engineer. I justly speak the truth and state obvious facts.

U know nothing about about the healthcare system other than what jealous folks like yourself tell u.
Nursing practitioners exist in uk and I've worked with them.
The largest percentage of black doctors in uk are foreign trained. Black British rarely get to study medicine when compared to Asians and whites...that's a topic for another day.
So u should be grateful nigerian trained doctors are helping to change the negative stereotypes of blacks in the global scene as regards professional career.

Benwems:
You are the person misinforming people And you the person talking trash. Registrars on night shift are not meant to go to bed. No talking trash. It is because an average Nigerian is gullible that is the reason you doctors and people Brian wash them. Your talking of registrars becoming consultants, they learn from their consultants, as questions, read their books, consultants explain to them the diagnosis and prognosis with time the gather sufficient experience with the number of cases they have seen. Write required exams and if they pass become consultants. I will not argue with you. My father is a medical doctor from Germany. He’s a consultant and a professor. I’m not talking out of ignorance. I have also been to India and seen how their health system is run. Lying that resident doctors are the driving force of the health world wide is a big lie. People go to specialist for consultation not registrars. What happens is that there is usually 1-2 registrars with the consultant Learning from the specialist. It’s only in Nigeria , people consultant registrars because the consultants have refused to come to work. In the consulting room, it’s usually you and the specialist. You can even politely tell the consultant that you want some privacy that you want the registrar to leaving and the registrar will leave. I have done the twice. No big deal. It’s in the theatre that they are most needed to gain one on one experience and knowledge. Stop the lies and propaganda.

Healthcare has beyond all these thinking u expressing...

In advanced countries, nursing practioners see patients and run their clinic independently. Specialist nurses do routine surgical procedures like endoscopy. First contact physiotherapist now handle most non surgical orthopaedic cases.
Gone are days of consultants or even doctors doing everything. Healthcare is now multidisciplinary oriented.

Registrar doctors practically run the hospital. A medical registrar holds the night bleep in hospitals. He's the doctor running the show at night- emergencies, cardiac arrest, acute cases...name it. U have to be good and know your stuff to carry that bleep. Ive met a lot of nigerian medical registrars here in uk. So I dont know where u get that info that nigerian doctors in uk are not good.

Besides, GP is a specialty on its own, and probably the most lucrative. U can easily pull over 150 thousands pounds in a yr if u hardworking. Its also the only specialty in uk where u can have your own practice. Maybe thats why nigerian doctors are rushing into the specialty.

Your narrative is not only spurious but reeks of jealousy. I really don't understand what u have against doctors, but its unnecessary.
In the 21st century, there are other professions more rewarding than doctors. Why not discover yours, rather wasting futile effort trying to bring down another noble profession.

Godwin Emefiele already answered that no physical money was printed they only got lent fiat money

Fiat money backed with what? All money in circulation must be an outcome of services rendered or goods produce.
What CBN did is as good as printing digital money. Now there's more naira in circulation without commensurate increase in production in goods or services. That's inflation and Obaseki is right.

thebosstrevor1:
You acting like someone who is naive.

Don't you know you need a court order to access any government information.

So you think, a minister can access government database without proper documentation.

The Nin is not a new initiative by the Minister, it has been in existence, how do you do your voters registration, if not with Nin.

Your father and mother has a Nimc id card even before patami became a minister.

The Nimc gives government the power to create a database of its citizens for national security purposes.

The legislation guiding data protection is the Nigeria Data Protection regulation

Just get educated instead of writing non sensical syllables here.

Just shut up. Stop embarrassing yourself.

Uncharted56:
Take what they say by a grain of salt, I use solar and I know how expensive this system is although it's worth it sha but the federal govt should focus on fixing the most important sectors first like security, universities, roads and eventually part of the job sector (cos some of us are self employed), not white elephant projects all the time and even at that they haven't told us what this solar can power and what it cannot, they are better off making solar systems cheaper and affordable or give discounts for buying one so as to encourage the movement like they're doing in the states in the form of rebates.



My brother be like say you know wetin dey everybody mind while reading that post

Can u share with us why it's expensive.
What are the components involved in the set up.

Jeromejnr:
I don't agree with the OP on many points.

But just as accidents happen here...also school shootings, cinema shootings etc. Also happen there..I mean even accidents.

How many people do accidents kill on a daily in the suburbs in Nigeria? No where is perfect. Its just the wealthy sometimes have a better way and some opportunities to live better and avoid things that the poor go through on a daily.

And if they have health issues, they jet out if they like. But many of these people still usually come back. Because they feel Nigeria isn't too strict on many things for them.

It's like u dont know what's medical emergency. Naija hospital still lag behind in that aspect....pray u don't fall victim, ur money won't safe u.
See how coronavirus disgraced nigerian wealthy elites.
They were just dropping like fowls. Even the presidency wasn't spared.
Despite running to the so called 'world class' hospitals in Abuja or Lagos.

Nigeria is ok to reside if u are wealthy, connected and well established. And that's more than sufficient to compensate for its inadequacy.
This is what u guys should propagate for Nigerians in diaspora. So that those who want to return can weigh the pros and cons
That's more useful to us, than all these fictitious David v Goliath contest.

Jeromejnr:
I believe a millionaire in Abuja enjoys his money better than someone earning over 2000k dolls in the U.S.

Even citizens recently are complaining of the new tax policies by the new administration. What do you want to enjoy there that you can't enjoy in a place like Abj? Is it light, road e.t.c.

Everyone has their own preferences. Not everyone has to think like others who see the U.S as heaven.

When I make my examples I use saner places in Nigeria not places and slums like lagos.

If u are wealthy n established in Nigeria, I see no reason why u should relocate. because if u do, ur standard of living will most likely drop.
But comparing nigeria to any developed country makes no sense in all ramifications.
Ordinary road traffic accident can mess u up in that country...despite all your money. Even ur President wouldn't trust his health with nigerian hospitals.

Btw the op comparison of dollar earning to naira spending is very foolish. That goes to show his level of i.q

BigBashiru:
The curse of Noah upon the black race runs deep as I can see from your comments. Please see the bolded. The bolded is for black healthcare workers not healthcare workers from non-black countries. Slothfulness in duty is in the domain of black healthcare workers.... why do you think even Buhari doesnt believe in them??

As for being system failure, which system do blacks run that succeeds? NONE! Unless China comes to their help. This system failure you speak about exists only because it is run by blacks who are lackadaisical and unserious by culture.

I noticed a lot of inferiority complex in your comments.
Apart from western countries, public healthcare in other countries is shitty just like Nigeria. It's the same complaint of poor remuneration, inadequate facilities, non challant attitude of staffs and mediocre in built system.
The system works in advanced nations because the social infrastructure is very strong and well developed. It has nothing to do with the black race.
Besides I told u abacha ensured national hospital ran smoothly in the 90s. That institution was the pride of the whole nation until it was moved under ministry of health.
Africa just like Asian countries function better with a top to bottom hierarchical system of govt...with the hope that the strong man at the top is a no nonsense, firm but benevolent semi-dictator.
Most non western developed nations are either not practicing democracy or a quasi form of it.
The above was why Nigerians voted Buhari with the hope he will use his positive ruthlessness n energy to shape nigeria in the right direction.
But alas...He proved he's neither firm nor benevolent. Not to talk about his sub intelligence and his clannisih negativity.

There's nothing specially wrong about Nigeria or Nigerians. We are simply not using the right form of governance to push reform and development.
Democracy is not meant for non western countries. Democracy works best when the majority of the population are enlightened, middle class and well educated. This is absent in most non white countries.

BigBashiru:
Let me tell you the problem with Nigerian Healthcare system..... it has nought to do with Buhari or Governors... it has to do with the Nigerians working at the hospital; for example:

1. Oxygen in oxygen machine is supposed to be filled once a week... the nurse in charge leaves it and chats with colleagues most of the week. Instead if the doctor/boss to fire her for negligence, he considers they are from the same town and let's her stay.

2. Doctors recommend operations to patients even when they don't need operations so they can make more money....

3. Accident victims are brought to Emergency Unit. Emergency Unit workers show no sense of urgency whatsoever to save a life. The same ppl in uk don't get paid a lot yet they still show sense of urgency in emergency situations. When the emergency patient dies they either burst out laughing or say: "it's not my father's hospital I cannot come and kill myself"

So the state of the health system is due to the Nigerians working there. They are unserious. That's why ppl prefer foreign doctors, foreign hospitals etc.

U not making sense at all.
Nigerian healthcare problem is all about system failure.
And the responsibility of govt officials is to fix the system n ensure it works.

Abacha took up the challenge as head of state by building National hospital Abuja to world class in the 90s. The hospital was directly under the presidency and he made sure it had sufficient funds/facilities.
He proved that Nigeria can have a world class hospital if we want to.
Yardua via his wife was building a world class cancer specialist centre in Abuja b4 his demise.
What has buhari done as the most powerful man in nigeria? Nothing, he doesn't care. He continues to seek medical care abroad for his prostate cancer.

Healthcare workers are not saint, they will be slothful in duty if they know they can get away with incompetence and mediocrity.
But when the head of the country is not even up to mediocrity standard, what do U expect.

Defending buhari is getting harder by the day. But u Muslims dont mind stooping so low so u can continue with your ridiculous excuses for Buhari.

Admit buhari is a failure. U won't die if u say the truth for once.

Goel:
First written languages came from Iran, Egypt or somewhere else in middleeast but first paper came from China for sure.
Modern mathematical digits are Arabic numerals which are derived from Hindu numerals of Gupta empire (Indian dynasty).

Mathematics at large from digits to trigonometry and even all modern complex calculations came from India, Iran and Arabia. Even first human civilisations were invented in these countries.
Chinese discovered many great things like gunpowder. But calling them as mother of invention is exaggeration. They are old as country but very new as a civilisation. Iran, Egypt, India, Egypt and Europe, all had settled when Chinese used to do tribal dance with mongols in jungles.

Egypt invented papyrus, the first writing surface which is a form of paper.

hermesprogidy:
China is the mother of inventions. She invented writing, paper, fireworks, and loads of other things you take for granted, including numbers and mathematics. (Alongside India) Westernization goes beyond dressing. It includes Religion, language and general culture.

China didn't invent paper. Paper came from Egypt.
Mathematics is too broad...different areas of maths came from different countries.
Numbers we use today originate from Arab and western Asia.
China invented writing...seriously.

Aconomist:
Wonder why Nigeria is so primitive and slow to develop? Because it is full of Nigerians. Here is an image of Banana island. The colorful skyscrapers are on the part that was developed by Lebanese. The rest of it went to Nigerian developers. See the difference?

The Lebanese built these towers almost 10 years ago. And since then, the Nigerians haven't erected anything taller than 3 stories.

Are they luxurious apartments or simply high rise building apartment?
Why should I pay millions of dollars to live in banana island and end up sharing swimming pool, tennis court or even gym facilities with other tenants.
When I can buy my own house with enough green, outdoor and privacy. I can even cultivate my own garden.
There's a reason there are few high rise in wealthy neighbourhood anywhere in the world.

nigeria is not breakin up without a war....
anybody that tries it will have to confront the nigerian army....

and when una push too much,then kiss your silly democracy good bye....

The last group that can stop the dissolution of nigeria is the nigerian army. Nigerian army of 2021 is not the same of the 90s. Corruption n ethnic affiliation have eaten deep into the fabric of nigerian military n have rendered it's soul useless.
A well organised n disciplined secessionist militia will easily disgrace your army.

A military coup will be the final straw that will break up nigeria.
Northerners will never tolerate a southern led coup d'etat.
While a northern led coup will amount to rising disenchantment n creation of multiple militants group in the south. Coupled with foreign sanction, I seriously doubt it will survive.

Nigeria is living on borrowed time n u know it.
It's the clannishness n selfishness inherent in black men that's making some hold on to a drowning country.

Only restructuring can safe nigeria. The earlier we start talking about it, the better.

https://punchng.com/we-wont-allow-hijab-in-kwara-mission-schools-can-insists/

"
Owoeye, who said Christians are bona fide citizens of the state, added, “We have equal rights under the provisional constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
He argued that the government was aware that Christian Religious Knowledge teachers were not posted to Muslim grant-aided schools and that the gathering of Fellowship of Christian Students was not allowed in Muslim grant-aided schools.
“Similarly, we want the government to be informed that her decision and plan to provide hijab and enforce its use in our Christian mission grant-aided schools will not be tolerated as it is an infringement on our freedom of religion as enshrined in the constitution of Nigeria,” he said."

You think Yoruba Christian Care about your hijab if you don't want to suck it on there face? What a shame when you guys start displaying your hatred for other religion and the funniest part I'd that those killing us in our land will never ask of your religion before killing you. Well whatever that suit you guys

That guy is from ilorin. Most of them have fulani blood running thru their vein. It's better we keep them away from SW affairs.
Look how he's been projecting a single story on this thread. In some Muslim schools in SW, every female must wear hijab irrespective of religion. U won't see xtians trying to create problem in such schools.
Live n let's live is the spirit tolerance...something alien to fanatics.
Though I believe hijab should be allowed in all public schools, so long as there's no ulterior motive like that kwara gov is pursuing.

Demmzy15:
What are you even talking about? Was Ilorin case the first Hijab issue we've had in Yorùbá land? It isn't the first and definitely wouldn't be the last, I didn't mention Hausa or Fulani, leave them out of these and talk about Yorùbás. Y'all sound so retarded whenever you keep mentioning Hausa/Fulani like robots



So safe that we have to go to courts to get injunctions just to wear our Hijab, very pathetic!



This analogy doesn't make any sense because those countries are ruled by Shari'ah and Islam, it's literally in their constitution!



You are a fool, the man was killed by his fellow Yorùbá man. I'm not a fool you can brainwash with your useless propaganda. Yorubas kill each other, kinda funny that all the cultists, thugs that perpetuate crimes in Yorùbaland automatically became Fulanis. Eyin werey una no get sense!



Whenever you have nothing reasonable to say, you begin to shoot out Fulani this Fulani that. Dumbo!

I noticed your ranting on this thread since.
Look here, if u kwarans want to continue your servitude to sokoto caliphate. I can assure u the rest of Yorubas don't care.
If in 2021, u think religion has more influence over ethnicity in political consideration and affinity, then u've learnt nothing about Nigeria or the Arab world. And I think it will be better if u guys are left behind with the north to receive sense.
FYI...Northern nigerian muslims look down on southern muslims, while Arabs have passionate hatred for subsaharan blacks irrespective of religion. In this world, your race and ethnicity comes first, and if u going to disregard that over some petty squabbles that can easily be resolves over the table...then ur case is hopeless.

The truth is the only people SWerns care about in north central are the igbominas in kwara and the okun people in kogi. Ilorin is a lost case and its people are simply beyond redemption.

Besides we don't want religious bigots or intolerant fanatics to come and be giving us problem in the new nation. Just ensure u drag that MURIC Ayatollah fanatic along with u. Because his divisive n inflammatory remarks will not be tolerated in Yorubaland.

In what way does USA need China except for cheap junks seen in Wal-Mart n on Amazon.
US problem are the wealthy elites who decided to move manufacturing to China for greater profits.
If both countries stop trading with each other..its china that will take the biggest hit. Ask huawei.
American manufacturers will simply move factories elsewhere...maybe africa. And USA consumers will learn not to be wasteful n be more frugal with money.

cococandy:
People have been saying that for ages. But their union is too strong and have resisted efforts to do that.

It seems everything broken in that country cannot be fixed because of some powerful lobbies, union or caucus.
America is in a gradual decline because of some powerful 1% while the remaining 99% look helpless.
Its a pity because despite all it's flaws, America is still the most preferred superpower by most people.

cococandy:
Police brutality is expensive that’s what they don’t realize. And they keep doing it because the money for the settlements doesn’t come from their funding, it comes out of the pockets of tax payers like me.

So we all have contributed money to George Floyd’s family through our taxes that indirectly funds that settlement.

Meanwhile idiot police (such as the man that killed him) get to retire with full benefits and their association is not financially impacted in any way. That’s why they’ll never stop.

I think police officers should be forced to have indemnity just like doctors. When u know a percentage of your salary could be used to settle liability due to your own recklessness, I'm sure they will behave.
American police officers are power drunk. They behave like a mafia boss n not civil servants. They have this arrogant attitude their actions are sacrosanct n shouldn't be questioned by the masses.
There should also be a national register for police officers. Once u are dismissed by any police dept anywhere in the country, ur name is struck off the national register n can never work as a police officer elsewhere.

RisenPhoenix1:
Not exactly luxury; that was an exaggeration, but certainly a better standard of living than you can get on a thousand dollars a month in the US for example. With N100k monthly, at least you can maintain a car, rent a flat and eat decently in Nigeria. No way is that going to happen in the US with less than $1000 ((N400k) monthly, which is what the op said.

Nobody earn $1000 in America except illegal. Therefore, the comparison is baseless.

RisenPhoenix1:
I know what I'm talking about. I've lived and worked in the UK and I have cousins in the US whom I've stayed with for sometime. Food is not the only necessity. Housing, medical bills, utility bills are all necessary as well. And food isn't that cheap. An average family of five will spend not less than $2k a month. That's about a million naira. If one leaves one's family back home in Nigeria and sends them that million a month, do you know the kind of standard of living they will have? Let alone rent, electricity, medical fees etc. As the OP said, it's much better to go alone, work for a couple of years, send funds back home, build a house and open a thriving business, then head back here for an early retirement.

Food is cheap...It's African food that's expensive.
No family spend 2k on food monthly..that's an exaggeration.

Are you dumb? Is ESN legal to begin with before we even begin addressing the issue of them carrying guns? Any normal adult will of course criticize ESN because it is a militia the Government will have no choice to crush sooner or later lest others like it begin springing up everywhere.

You guys never change. Declare Biafra illegally against the Nigerian constitution to then blame Yorubas for lives lost through your own irresponsible action.

Same way Igbos swung behind illegal ESN to want to now cry Yorubas did not wish ESN well. How can anyone wish ESN well knowing how things will end and also in view of the inaction of your irresponsible Governors, the worst in Nigeria, derelicting their duties. Did you Igbos not indulge and ignore their misrule and incompetence in preference for foaming at the mouth about Sanwo Olu and Tinubu.

Hard to wish Igbos well if you dont know. You people are very difficult and unreaosnable. You expect the automatic backing of others for all you do whether legal or illegal.

Pls leave ibos alone n face the north.
Hausa/fulani are the ones chasing Yoruba off their land to benin republic.
Face the real enemy n stop chasing shadows.

What's your problem with ESN or IPOB? How does their activity affects u as a Yoruba person?
U are fixated with the illegality of ESN, but will never talk about about the illegality of fulani herdsmen carrying AK47 and killing Yoruba farmers.

I just don't understand the mindset of present Yoruba generation. Chasing rats while their own house is on fire.
Something must be wrong somewhere.

I'm Yoruba btw. So don't deflect to the usual bigotry rants.

Electricity via solar power is actually the cheapest among all source of electricity generation. It can be as low as $14 per MW.

Raab says it's unacceptable but when Ofcom banned the Chinese service because of political control, was it acceptable? This is why Sub-Saharan African countries should be rich - you talk when others are talking. If there is one thing I appreciate about the rise of China is that western countries will have a taste of what they do to other weaker countries. China is not a country to be bullied around.

I may not be a fan of Chinese foreign trade practices, biased protective policies, harmful predatory methods or bully tactics.
But their rise in global stage will be a good check on western reckless hegemony and imperialism.
The west has taken the rest of us for a ride for too long....it's time for some reality check.
U need to visit some foreign media website n read comments...the whites are so bitter n jealous.
Some even called for prosecution of western business men who moved factories to China- they call them traitors.

As per the news...
Well most foreign media outlets are virtually non existent in china. I guess BBC won't miss anything.

Giantfarmer:
and here again imf has given condition for their loan like remove subsidy, increasing electricity tariff and devalue the naira, all this Nigeria has been doing all for the loan.and the funny thing is that the economy is growing worse day by day
I think the IMF need to understand this is not West and the fundermentals on which this policies could work is not there in Nigeria..... instead it's devastate the the whole thing

The naira is already devalued. Nobody gets dollar or any other foreign currency at the official exchange rate. These has resulted in multiple parallel rates which isn't good for the country's monetary policy.
What CBN needs to do is to unify all exchange rates in the country n this can only happen if they allow the naira to be officially devalued.
Other measures pursued by CBN such as restricting remittance from overseas, banning Bitcoin or restricting imports are futile effort that will only expand the demand for parallel market.
Nobody will exchange his dollar for 360 naira, when there's an alternative for 500. If it means travelling to cotonou to change it....people will do it.
CBN is the one that should get it's monetary policy right.
But u are right on one thing...IMF has no good intention for Africa.
