Depends on the model, if na the 04-010 series you wan use for uber your village people will just leave you alone and move on to the next target. Mission accomplished!

Lol, funny thread. This is Nigeria, one can't be too careful.

Leave story jare, its not about African market or what not, its about reliability. I will comfortably buy a corolla or Camry with 200,000miles cos I know it will still serve its purpose. I can't do same for a ford, Chevy or even a Benz. The number of those cars sold as new despite their high prices speaks volume.

5m kwa? Can I pay 6m? Pleaseeee!

Chaii! .29k miles with popped up airbags, quite sad. Happy sales

Sir Gazzuzz, weldone o. Carry on sir, you have almost turned some of us to overnight paper auto technicians. We die the day we stop learning. Learning comes in various forms; through ones experience, didactic lectures, reading(online or offline) and from the experience of others. Any professional who doesn't read or seek new knowledge will become obsolete in a short time. Ignore the 'fools'.

Mechanic are saying Corolla isn’t a good car to buy , that was our first agreement

That's true! Corolla is a bad choice for your mechanic, he'll only get to work on it once in a while. Abi u no want make he chop ni?

Gear master indeed. save up for another gear, your ignorance will cost you small. Pls change the topic to 2007 Camry, I almost had an heart attack, 2017 Camry ke? gbese niyen men.

It was expected that you will at least consult a real doctors before posting salary scales for the profession. But alas you consulted only mysalaryscale.com. Let me enlighten you abt the scale in my centre.

1. A house officer (doctor on internship) which last for 1year earn around #170000 ( some centers pay more or less ). This is the entry level after medical school but as someone said its difficult to get placement, becos there are few hospitals that are approved to offer the programme. Added to this is that if you cannot get placement within 2years you have to write the medical and dental council exam again and renew ur temporary license. After housejob you are given a permanent license to practice without supervision.

Now this is where it gets interesting cos there are so many options available. MO, teaching, residency, public health, politics, business and what hv you

2. MO is medical officer who is employed by a hosp to work a general practitioner. No added qualification is required and their entry level is #250000 and above. They are promoted and salary increases just like any ministry job till they reach the ceiling. Those at the apex earn slightly above #700000

3. Teaching: a medical doctor can go into just teaching in a medical school at the preclinical level. Additional certification is required (masters and currently Phd). Their salary level starts at around #380000 some centres pay more. Teachers at the clinical side also render clinical services and are called honorary consultants their pay grade is different

4. Residency is a training that allows a doctor to specialise in a specific area or become a consultant. Places offering residency are not equal to d number of doctors seeking d training so again it is difficult to get in. There are different cadres and last on average 6-8 years, Some are as short as 4 years

a) Junior registrars (2 ans half years) salary starts at N 350,000 currently (was less than this in the past) after the part 1 exams they progress to senior registrar
b) Senior registrar whose salary currently starts arouund #500,000. After part 2exams becomes a consultant who is either released or retained by his institution
c) Consultants are appointed by the hosp. They are at the peak of their career. Their salary is #800,000 for the new ones and around #1,200,000 for the senior ones. This is why JOHESU members wants to become consultants
so much. In addition to this pay, this are the groups that can consult in different hospital or have private and big shorts patients that they attend to. Depending on how well connected a consultant a is they can earn more than 5times the figures quoted above

5. The public health physicians can be thru masters in public health or residency in public health. They are the ones that populate the ministry of health and other health related agencies, NGOs, WHO and other health related local and international organisations. They get more grants than consultants in other fields and are often quite boxed up.

6. Being a medical doctor does not bar anyone from owning businesses or partaking in politics. Although some prefer to do that after becoming consultant. Infact I know a consultant who owns a car dealership firm and Ngige and Saraki are medical doctors.

7. Now while waiting for placement or appointment as consultant or commonly before making up your mind which area you want to go into a doctor can work in private hospitals where they owners don't pay so well. The pay could between <#100,000 to >500,000 depending on the location

8. Lemme also address the issue of doctors being broke, yes doctors are human being and each individual is prone to making either good or bad choices, invest wisely or live lavishly, or too lazy to seize the many opportunities being a doctor offers. Our teachers used to tell us that as long you know what you are doing as a doctor you might not necessarily be the Dangotes or Adenugas but you will be very comfortable in life and they were very right.

On a final note, lemme also inform many commentors who probably wanted studying medicine but couldnt and sieze the opportunity to insult every thread related to Nigerian doctors. Yes Nigerian doctors are the worst paid doctors in the entire world, but they are doing their best and can never go hungry if they know what they are doing. Ask yourself this question why doctors trained in Nigeria are among the very best when they leave the country? Its simple, human capital alone is not enough to power any system, you need economic and technological capital. Imagine if all the monies spent on medical tourism by elites, government official and indeed any Nigerian who can afford abroad was used to provide state of arts facilities and needed training of relevant health workers, Nigeria will become a centre of medical tourism itself.

I was told a story in medical school of a top govt official during the Gen Abdulsalam Abubarka regime who went to South Africa for a relative's brain, on arrival he was told that they are waiting for the surgeon from Nigeria (prof. B.B. Shehu). The surgery went very fine and afterwards the govt official was ashamed. This led to building of a neurosurgery centre in Sokoto state.

We can make Nigeria work if we can only have faith on ourselves

Are we in the same country? Registrar's starting salary @ 350k? Hmmmnn

4.2mil? God dey!

So educative. Nice one.... But let me ask you, have you used Kia or hyundia before [pre-07 models] ? Do you think they are any different in terms of fuel economy, speed and maintenance?
I actually have d manual corolla, wanting to get the auto for my wife cos I like it but I'm not finding the price funny. Thinking of finding her an alternative esp in the class of Kia.

I used a '97 kia sportage for 4yrs before the corolla, it served me well too but fuel economy is not so good and availability of spare parts could be an issue(unless you stay in Lagos), I had to get to another town just to get brake pads and Lagos for the rear windscreen

I used a '97 kia sportage for 4yrs before the corolla, it served me well too but fuel economy is not so good(exactly double of corolla's) and availability of spare parts could be an issue(unless you stay in Lagos), I had to get to another town just to get brake pads and to Lagos when the rear windscreen disintegrated.

The 03-07 corolla is not expensive in Nigeria alone,even in the US the resale value is very high.It is not the best car around but does everything well and therefore appeal to an average Nigerian. Its fuel economy is superb,it is elegant,the engine is pretty basic(no unnecessary gizmos to give wahala when they breakdown), parts are relatively cheap(toks o), it is fast(at least for an average joe) and hardly breaks down. I have friends who have been using theirs for over 5 years and are reluctant to upgrade. I av only used mine for 16months and its been a wonderful experience (I only visit filling stations twice a month unless I go on a very long journey) and changed d front hub(cos of noisy wheel bearing).Go for it if u can afford it Op.
