since some people are getting their knickers in a twist over a misplaced curiosity about nigerian women's dating habits, here are some nigerians of mixed ancestry on the father's side.

Kobojunkie:
Please do your research on how much medical doctors make.
maybe you mean PAs [physician assistants] making $80,000 as starting salaries.

if you know any fresh med school grad making the same, then lucky them.

Kobojunkie:
Not according to career sites like Salary.com and many of those out there. Unless you consider a starting salary of $80,000 and above to be small money(many other professions have starting salary at about $35000) then OK.
if you're saying a doctor fresh out of med school will have a starting salary of $80,000 and above, then you're quite wrong.

if anyone made that kind of money legally, then it would have to be an exception, not the rule.
Health › Re: 'Majority Of 15,000 Doctors Trained By UCH Work Abroad' by tpia5: 3:00am On Nov 06, 2011
As difficult as it is for UK immigration these days, i still see many doctors coming in employed straight from Nigeria, the Saudi government still holds fairs recruiting nija doctors yearly
most western countries rely heavily on foreign professionals.

its not just doctors alone that are being hired.

the UK however announced it was trying to train more homegrown doctors some years back.

not sure how that worked out.

saudi has always needed foreign workers however i feel the country specifically recruits nigerians though i could be wrong.

All you have to do make this argument perfect is to show me just ONE landlord in your city that will accept your 'it's just about people's health' line in lieu of house rent.
Feel free to show me one car dealer on Nairaland here who will give a 30% discount to anyone as long as he tenders a medical practitioner ID card
are you saying doctors in nigeria cant afford house rent and cant afford to buy a car? huh

not sure i get your point.

These people work long hours in a day, dealing with all sorts of ill and cranky patients and they are supposed to put up with inadequate pay because 'it's all about People's health'?!

typical Nigerian, you want people to sacrifice and sweat for YOU. Well, being related to 3 doctors, I can tell you that Doctors have to pay Rent, buy food, buy cars and provide for their families just like you and I do. Shocking, isn't it?  grin
i'm guessing your doctor siblings are all overseas and probably either trained there or left nigeria soon after graduation.

yes, like i said, being doctor isnt about money, because if what you're chasing is money, then you should be in some other profession.

nobody makes enough in nigeria, unless you get govt contracts or work in an oil company.

being a third world country with a high poverty level, one would assume most doctors in training would be familiar with this fact and understand the need is greater than the available resources.

no one is saying people shouldnt travel to where the pastures are greener, but at the same time there's no need to knock the ones who are doing what they can with what they have.


overseas doctors also face their own problems, so please take that into account when shouting abroad.

and as i again pointed out, the number of indian, chinese, other asian and middle eastern doctors/health professionals in the west is far greater than the nigerian ones.
Politics › Re: How Many Nl Witnessed The Civil War (1967 - 1970)? by tpia5: 1:54am On Nov 06, 2011
I think it takes three generations or so to forget.

In the US, they count war generation, post war generation, baby boomers (born after the war), generation X, etc.

Nothing like that in nigeria of course.

Though we have various wars going on right now with boko haram, mend, massob, opc etc.

Is it true 69 people were victims of a bomb blast today in borno, as reported by yahoo news? huh
Romance › Re: My Romance Story In Pictures by tpia5: 1:47am On Nov 06, 2011
Yes, in romance section too.

I guess other nlers should also post their wedding pictures here.

Or is that forbidden if they dont meet the proper requirements.

Where is the op from btw.
Which state.

^I wonder why you make allowances for a white man to disabuse juju but want to insist other blacks must follow your mindset.

That's bondage if you ask me.

Well, continue with your juju lifestyle but know there are others who can give you more "juju" to ponder on since you clearly want to be fed.

You get a thrill perhaps.  After all this stuff sells movies.

Let him stick to the women he is with now.

Too much weed smoking affects your cognitive function.

And the annoying part is most of these buffoons wont ask their mothers why they didnt choose non naijas as s.perm donors.

@ mrs chima

what he had before werent his wedding pictures but just him and his family.

I'm not sure if he had them up on facebook or here on nl.

Not too sure what he's getting at actually.

I guess this latest batch is for his customers who he's reassuring maybe.

Anyway, he seems to be an attention seeker and grandiose like i noticed before.

i've explained to you what went on- you're free to continue searching for a metaphysical explanation.

Also, about the cold wind blowing- what time of the year was it and is it really so unusual to feel a breeze in the evening or at night. Were there no more breezes on other days even without a blinking light? huh
Christianity Etc › Re: Is Juju Real - Debate Between Phuck_nl And Splitnaija by tpia5: 12:02am On Nov 06, 2011
That's murder and someone needs to be apprehended for it.

No excuse for devilish acts by people who are lost and without Jesus.
Romance › Re: My Romance Story In Pictures by tpia5: 5:33pm On Nov 05, 2011
The op is somewhat grandiose, as are a lot of black males who have relationships with non-black women. More pronounced in the ones with white women- not sure why.

Also maybe because people go to him for visa issues? huh

Not sure if others are surprised by his pictures but he's been posting such for a while now. I've seen other photos of his which he either posted here or on facebook, two or more years ago. Or was it one year but i think it was long before that.

I generally dont take him seriously because he's too full of himself.


But whatever wants to rock his boat in his world- its his life not anybody else' own.

I know folks like him.

^Sometimes i'm typing fast and so put everything in lower case.

Bad habit, i agree.

But it doesnt stop the earth from spinning or the sun from shining.

There are times when i've also typed jesus in lower case. I'll correct as necessary when i have more time on my hands. Right now i have a lot of work to do.

I dont see why some people are making a fuss here.

People get disciplined for various reasons, including talking on cell phones while seeing patients.

We havent heard the nurse' side of the story but something's rather off about the way the mother reacted. One cant draw any conclusions yet however. But the nurse has been disciplined- end of story.

Anyway, thank God the boy is doing fine.

I wonder what scared the nurse so badly in that home? huh
Christianity Etc › Re: Is Juju Real - Debate Between Phuck_nl And Splitnaija by tpia5: 5:17pm On Nov 05, 2011
And as per cold wind blowing- rather subjective and in any case fear usually gives people goosebumps. For oyibos, they'll say the hair on the back of their neck stood up.

you felt a cold chill and the insects stopped chirping.

Let me give you a couple of scenarios:

1. Insects and wildlife will go silent if they sense a predator around. Predators could be a leopard or any animal at the top of the food chain. Your blinking light could be the glowing eyes of some beast, or the lamp trick i mentioned earlier. And yes, it wasnt unusual to find tamed leopards in some circles at one time, in nigeria. They were generally needed for royalty.

2. Body swelling could either be excessive weight gain or the oracle sent someone to drop something in somebody's food as a warning. If enquiries were made and nobody was found to have taken the money.

Yorubas call all these things aye, meaning world or society.
