You had better leave while you still have time. I will give you a short story; my sister was in final year when our neighbor's daughter went to Ukraine to study medicine. My sister is still in final year writing her final year's exams while the other girl is already in 300level medicine. 1 Like |

matt97367: Please finish your programme in Nigeria. It's only 3 years remaining. Don't listen to anybody advising you to go and start afresh in Eastern Europe. Like some have said, there is a big difference between Eastern and Western Europe. Eastern Europe includes countries like Ukraine, Romania, Poland etc. Even if you graduate from medicine there, their doctors aren't very well paid. You will still need to migrate to the UK, US, Canada, Australia etc and believe me, you will still sit for exactly the same exams as your counterparts who finished from Nigeria. Studying in Nigeria will expose you to a great deal of knowledge. Your communication skill will be poorer but you will be a very good doctor. You can pass the licencing exams of any country once you graduate from Nigeria. If you need more info, you can pm me. I don't want to say much here, but I have much more experiences and examples to share with you. 2 Likes |

Whoever told you the Nigerian Medical certificate is useless is either ignorant or intentionally deceiving you. Top choices for doctors to practice remain US, UK, Canada, Australia, Germany. Both Nigerian and Eastern European graduates will write same licensing exams to practice in those places. I should add that many Eastern european graduates come back to write the MDCN exams and do housemanship/Internship (at least, even if they'll japa eventually). Not sure exactly why it's difficult to stay back and practice over there. For those telling you the Naija certificate is highly valuable and that Naija docs are highly sought-after, I'll say that's not entirely true. On the international scene, It's about how well you perform in their licensing exams and the other stuffs on your application (such as research, observerships etc). What I can tell you is that there is a level of toughness that the Nigerian system baptize you with that enables you to survive and push through (sometimes even, to excel) in those saner climes. This is getting too long (Sorry!). If you do have specific concerns, I'll be happy to chat more. -From an OAU-trained Medical doctor based in the US! 11 Likes |

Greystone: SR, you should know better to advise him properly. I know doctors who migrated to the UK immediately after their housejob. This guy in question is 4-5 years from the completion of house job. If he goes to Eastern Europe, he will still need to return to Nigeria after 5 years study to do MDCN exams before he can do housemanship. More so, many of those Eastern European trained doctors aren't that knowledgeable. 1 Like |

Strange how Nigerians will be cussing the country up and down and if you challenge them, they will point to the poor, saying just how the poor are suffering, poor cant eat, poor are dying, everyone is poor and wretched, people are being killed and maimed, yet they are first ones to encourage doctors that are needed by the poor above all, to flee the country. If you encourage your best to flee who will advocate for the poor? I personally never take complaining civil society Nigerians seriously for they are often immoral and self seeking hypocrites. There's nothing fundamentally wrong with Nigeria beyond partisan politics. Partisan politics in Nigeria is a cesspit full of contesting and bickering bunch of turd! Doctors the world over seek employment in nations other than of birth or and training. Uk trained doctors emigrate to US, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Singapore and vise versa. If a Nigerian doctor wants to practice abroad just provide him with the information he wants without underscoring your advices with politically informed digs at the country. 1 Like |

Medical Education in Nigeria is better than Eastern Europe. Most doctors who trained in Eastern Europe don't practice there. They still end up writing PLAB, ECFMG and other exams in order to practice in a more civilized country. Complete your education in Nigeria and move to UK, USA, Canada or Australia when you are done.

All Nigerian doctors are useless including the ones studying in the university. Stupid Nigerian doctors , a girl who got bitten by a dog ,they treated her using tetanus medication. She died eventually.. Whacked Nigerian doctors. Another friend of mine had mental issue and he traveled abroad, the hospital abroad needed to know his medical history or type of mental illness, all the stupid Nigerian psychiatrist docs could not determine the type of mental illness he had. It took an American doctor who went through the reports, and medical history, read it and came up with the illness associated to be schizophrenia. But stupid Nigerian doctors kept on using a general term "mental illness" . Does it mean we don't know schizophrenia? I also have a biracial friend whose dad(white) is in a hospital in the UK, he said to his son, " the doctors and nurses are mostly Nigerians", they seem not to know what they are doing. They do not take care of him. He said, they must have graduated from Nigeria but did not study in the UK. What am I saying, you better run and go abroad and study instead of that hell hole. Go to a system where they use machine to treat you not some old Egyptian medicine we still use back in Nigeria where we begin trial and error. |
