[quote author=A-town]If all you could comprehend from the post is that "theory is inconsequential" then you proved my point[/quote]lol

Shollypopz: I'm not a medical student. Majored in Comp.Sc/Accounting.

Surrounded by many med students though, Mr. Solomon u really hv no clue about med schoolS in the US and the rigor involved. I mean I hate stating the obvious, what u mentioned earlier is not the norm and I find it pointless going on with this when u really are clueless about a lot.

If it were other fields of study, I could prolly see where u're coming from but Med/Comp.Sc program in the US is a GOD to whatever program we have in Nigeria.
#WORD!

Really?
Okay o.
No problem.

Shollypopz: Thank you!! I mean I'm astonished at the way they are comparing Nigerian trained doctors to US trained doctors. It's ridiculous.

Why not come home after graduation and have a feel of our medical practice here in Nigeria.
You could try your hands on the induction exams,and see for yourself.
PS:I am assuming you are a medical student abroad.

Good idea.
I hope it is not just talk.

Na 25 years,you go spend for jail.

ohzee: Actually I dont think those tests are done for doctors that trained in recognized foreign schools such as top uk and us schools. Most of them trained in Ukraine and eastern bloc countries and believe me those schools are NOT better than our med schools. Our medical graduates are doing very well in uk and us because their training and practice is based on a basic knowledge of medicine and not reliance on labs and diagnostic gadgets. Parents should be very careful when they send their children ABROAD for studies. The grass always looks greener on the other side of the fence.

Your first statement is untrue.
You are supposed to take the induction exams,to practice in Nigeria,regardless of where you schooled.
That is how it is done in most parts of the world.

[quote author=Itoroetti ]are u talking about Jamb results and appetitude test that is reservd 4d highest bidders?[/quote]That is a lie.
Jamb is one of the strictest exams in Africa.

Shollypopz: hhmm, I'm very calm. I don't think my post showed any form of agitation.

That aside, when u make comparison next time, make sure u do it on an average sense/scale.
U can't take the achievement of one student(an abnormally) and say because he did this, then bla bla..........

I'm very patriotic to my country Nigeria but comparing med schools in Nigeria to those in the US is quite alarming. Shows u have no clue what u're talking about. I don't mean to exaggerate the importance of ranking but when we as a country are that down on the list then there has to be some truth to it.

I mean we are not among top 3000, 3000!! 3000 my brother!! 3000!!

And of course, I'm not basing all my claims solely on ranking but when we look at the products and what US trained doctors can do practically, we don't even come close. The facilities available, the genuine critical reasoning, abstract and real life instances based exam questions?

As a Nigerian, I'm sure u don't want me to over flog the issue that we're all theory and no practical.

Actually if you were to make thorough research,you will find out that the case of that my friend is the norm,rather than an aberration.
Medicine is a practical discipline,and you will quickly be found out to be academically shallow if you are just theoretically based.
Thousands of Nigerian doctors and surgeons are making a name for themselves abroad.
Infact,it seems every Nigerian trained doctor wants to travel out after graduation,because they know they are in high demand.
I am a chemical Engineer,but i was able to get a good grasp of Nigerian medical practice from my cousin.
He is good as hell,and it would take more than just schooling in the west,to beat him both theoretically and practically.
The current head of American cardiologists is a professor,from the University of ibadan,so i think all these goes to show how underrated our education is.
But then,it has to be said that we are lagging behind in some vital areas,and we need to improve fast.

Shollypopz: If u're trying to compare Nigerian trained doctors to US trained doctors, then u're joking or don't have a clue of what u're talking about.

There is no one Nigerian university among top 3000 in the world!!

Your use of foreign is quite broad though, I mean d reason for d low percentage could as well be from Nigerians trained in countries like Togo.

lol, all na foreign.

Cool down,lady.
You are taking this too personal,or maybe it is personal.
It is a known fact that doctors trained in Nigeria are somehow better than those in the host country.
A friend of my cousin that just graduated from UNIBEN has been snapped up by W.H.O,and from the report i got,he was the best in the test that was set for them.
He outscored students from the US,UK,Germany,Canada,e.t.c.
Besides those rankings are not necesarily based on the quality of education in those universities.
I am quite sure that a good number of the universities those doctors that failed the induction exams went to,are ranked higher than Nigeria.
So i would take those rankings with a heavy dosage of salt.

teskyg: Why won't they fail when they keep going to Ukraine and Malaysia for studies?

yeah that is true,though.

.

Lmao@'foreign schooled doctors'.
Is it any surprise that Nigeria-trained doctors are hot cakes in different parts of the world.

gudnex22: But Iyanya is from cross rivers state and cross rivers is in the East from so what is he doing on the list?

cross-river in the East?
Maybe you meant former Eastern region.

Abrantie: "South South Music Awards? I guess the North West or South East or North East or North or South West or West of Nigeria are not invited. You people with NEVER unite!

stfu!
What do you know about Nigeria,you bloody ghanaian.
Is it not in ghana,we have kumawood and gollywood,despite the fact that you guys are of a microscopic population,and even the gollywood is non-existent.

True federalism in action.
We all know how talented the SS is.
Well done.

Nwa Teacher: No award 4 Mr Timaya, dem mama soldier. This shows the level of partiality in d award because Timaya still remain d best musician s/south have ever produced

That is a bloody lie.

The akatas must be laughing us to scorn.
What a sad day.

Damn!
What an embarassment!!
One would think Nigeria is a country lacking in global achievers.
May God punish that dumb journalist for embarassing us.

^^
sour grapes.

This girl looks like a regular igbo chick sha.
Would love to see serena.

And i go like check this babe out o.
No time!!

jude33084: Dominating sport festival bystealing other states athletes abi

The same way the US and England steal Nigerian athletes,by offering them something better.

I can only imagine how much money this guy will make.

Andro Blaze: Surprise surprise, the bigots don't know how to READ or what QUOTATION MARKS do- this is truly pathetic and sorrowful.

May God continue to bless the man and his family that gave Nigeria free education- even my 8 year old niece couldn't make this mistake.

which Nigeria did he gave 'free education'?
Lol.

T9ksy: David mark hasn't said anything that one doesn't already know and thus vindicates no one lest of all, the ibos.

It's common knowledge that neither awo nor the sardunna was for one nigeria except zik and his ibo people.

And no one was left in any doubt as to why the ibos wanted one nigeria- certainly not for the love they harbour for their fellow potential countrymen but GREED!

So they wanted 'one Nigeria' because of greed,and yet they were the only ones brave enough to seceed.
How foolish can you get?

And why do i care?
Slaves that love their chains,will remain in bondage.

Chelsea fans should take the positives from this game and move on.
With what i saw yesterday,MAN U,cannot win the league.
Even a 9-man chelsea were too much for them.
What a shame,and an even greater shame at the level of hypocrisy that SAF exhibits.
Chelsea will have their revenge.

Damn!!
When will Nigeria attain this level of military sophistication.

Manure has not won chelsea at home,for the past 10 years.
I see a chelsea victory.
@OP:Chelsea play a 4231,and not 433.
