I think the reason is that most developed countries have more shortage of Nurses than Doctors, and have Visa programs to attract Nurses.

Going by the figures posted up there, the number of all practicing medical doctors in Nigeria are less than 45,000 in total. And we have a population of over 200 million people.

.. this is approximately a ratio of 1 doctor per 5,000 Nigerians. LoLz! grin grin grin

It's easier to Japa as a registered nurse (RN) than a doctor. Many doctors have Japad to Canada and US and many have been unable to get license to practice. The licensing processes in those two countries are cumbersome for foreign trained doctors. You can't even get residency even after passing the exams administered by the regulatory bodies of the medical profession in Canada and US.

But as a qualified nurse, you write the nclex and other licensing exams, do a bridging program with a college and you are registered as a member of the nursing profession. Just secure your first job with a care home, long term centre, respite and hospice homes, build the required experience and skills that would enable you to pursue a more challenging roles in hospitals, clinics and medical centres.

Is this because they have no clue how to make Biafurọ a prosperous and peaceful region?

Or what is your tribesmen wailing about

edet19892015:
Unless you understand your role in society, you can never make any meaningful contribution.

According to the Greeks, they are three types of people on Earth,
1. The idiots,
2. The tribesmen, and
3. The citizens.


Studies show only 10% of Africans are citizens.
The remaining 90% are either tribesmen or idiots.

1. When the Greeks used the word "Idiot", they did not use it as a curse word.
Idiots are people who just don’t care.
If they sit for exams, they will cheat.
If they are in government they will steal.

An idiot does not care at all, if he eats bananas he throws the peels anywhere instead of putting them in a trash bin.

IDIOTS won't attend monthly neighborhood meetings. They won't pay security dues. They won't contribute to community development. Even when they see or know about something that will harm others in the community they won't report it. When they see/know/have something that will benefit their community they won't share.

In fact, Idiots don't care to register for or vote in an election, yet they complain the most. If they register to vote, IDIOTS will sell their votes for peanuts.

According to the Greeks, some societies have more idiots than tribesmen and citizens.

2. The next set of people are "Tribesmen", these are people that look at everything from the point of view of their tribe.

These are people that believe in you only if you are part of their tribe.
It can be terrible to have a tribesman as a leader, he will alienate the rest.

When the Greeks talk about tribes, it’s not just about ethnicity, they also consider religion, gang membership, group membership, party membership and even cult membership as a tribe.

A great percentage of Africans are tribesmen, because they view everything from the point of view of their tribes. They trust only their tribesmen

3. The last group are "Citizens".
These are people who like to do things the right way.
They will respect traffic light rules even if no one is watching them.

They drive within speed limits.
They respect the laws, and won’t cheat in exams.
In government, they won’t steal.
They are compassionate and give to others to promote their well-being.

Citizens often promote projects that benefit everyone.
The Greeks called this group "The Citizens".

Some countries have more citizens than tribesmen and idiots, others have so many idiots.

A tribesman can become a citizen through orientation.
And an idiot can become a citizen by training and constant enforcement of the law.

But things fall apart if you elect an idiot or tribesman to lead you if he has not been reformed.

Where do you belong? Are you an idiot, a tribesman or a citizen? Reflect on your life.
Reflect about your immediate community, city, state and nation.
