deltateam: You really do not understand the enormity of our present predicament. Even if all politicians start earning zero salary, we still do not have the revenue !!!!! Simple mathematics: If 75,000 doctors in Nigeria should start earning average salary of say N1million per month,that's total of N75billion per month and N900b per year!! Just for Doctors salary alone!!!! What is the budget for health, private,federal and all states combined ![]() ![]() What if other professionals now demand equal treatment, what will happen to NIGERIA ![]() ![]() 4 Likes |

delana: I certainly believe you are a doctor, would you say that you would have spent less if you had been schooled in the UK or US? On standard of education abroad and in the country how come foreign countries recruit Nigerian medical doctors even though they are products of poor education and training. I know for sure that foreign countries would never bother to look at Nigeria if they don't have quality services from them |

pacespot: They are just over hyping themselves I swear. An engineering student for example spends 5 years in school, during NYSC he is posted anywhere and atimes earns nothing other than his federal allawee but doctors are given specify treatment. Most graduates can't do more than one job that's if they even get jobs. Whereas doctors can do multiple jobs. Doctors should calm down 3 Likes |

jumper524:that's also a recipe for brain drain and many more fields will lose experts who chose to foray into medicine. Medicine as a faculty has the highest number of people whose natural inclination was anything but hospital live but they chose to be mediocres in the medical line |
Re: Nigerian Doctors: We Shed Tears Of Joy After Receiving First Pay In Saudi Arabia by Nobody: 9:21am On Aug 29, 2021 |
As a medic, the fact is , we doctors don't get paid well (One of my brothers who lives abroad when he heard my salary, his first question was...are they ripping you off?. He was shocked to hear that I was even one of the better paid doctors at my level) But here is why Saudi can afford to pay such high salareis 1.Saudis produce oil...10 million barrels of crude compared to our 1.4 million barrels of crude.daily 2.Saudis have 35 million people, compared to our 200million people. 3. Saudis have a higher income compared to us as a result... 4.Saudi's foreign reserve in 2014 was at 750 billion dollars. Nigeria at that time was managing 39 billion dollars in our reserve. 2 Likes |

adenigga: While the doctors are talking about their new revenue, they should also talk about their expenditure in Saudi. Besides, they shouldn't forget to compare the liberty they enjoy in Nigeria to that of Saudi. Life is not measured in money alone. They should also tell us about the ethics of the profession. Can they open private hospital while working in the govt hospital in Saudi? Can they refer patients from the govt hospital to their own private clinics in Saudi?. Do they address patients anyhow in Saudi? Do they sleep with patients and their relatives recklessly in their waiting room in Saudi ? Do they offer mediocre services in Saudi? While people will rush to blame the govt, remember to look into the way doctors behave in Nigeria as well, acting far superior to other professionals in Nigeria. Till we can look into all these, we won't have a balanced conversation. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

delana:Actually it is very very true. Let me ask a question, even if you didn't study Medicine, the quality of education you got in a Nigerian University as well as the quality of life you experienced, does it worth paying millions?. Same scenario applies to med school in Nigeria , prior to graduating, they introduced a clinical fee of 100k per session asides school fees and accommodation making the total fee almost 200k , yet you have about 8 students in a single room at times and they claim it's subsidized. It is because the UK, US and Canada pay high school fees that they get high quality. That 200k in Nigeria is less than 500 dollars. If we paid millions , our universities would be able to pay for the same quality they get in US, UK and Canada. (That's why private universities in the next generation may surpass public universities here.) . You want us paying millions for the current standard of Education in Nigeria, it's not possible and the government knows this I think he wants you to pay millions so that they can make things up to standard. Nigeria in 2019 had a budget of 26 billion dollars, from which education (primary, secondary and university) got 3 billion. South Africa spent 23 billion dollars on education alone in the same year..., and even they think it is not enough!. We have bad quality because we are not making the money to pay for good quality. As one former VC of a Nigerian university said...if you want Cambridge level degrees, you have to pay cambridge level fees! What is more embarrassing is that neighbouring West African countries pay their health workers much better than Nigeria even with a poorer economy. When some of them charge higher taxes than we do. (Ghana has a tax to gdp ratio of 23% compared to Nigeria's 6.1%) |

FolabiCash: So based on your logic ,doctors who went to private universities and state universities (because you can't claim state universities pay peanut to study) who pay huge amounts of money have the right to abandon Nigeria ,right? |

Jaqenhghar: Everyone is caught up by the greedy bugg. Banking sector don't pay better than health. You just not figured your sectors out intelligently. Every institution is viable. As long as there are sick people and dieing people and birth.. doctors will always be relevant and they are far relevant than bankers. But you should look inwards within your structures. I feel those stealing from you are mainly amongst your Institutes. Not the government politicians per say. If you read for many decades and you can't figure how to outwit and get what you want from semi agbero politicians, but choose to turn and run then the stupidity is on you and no one else. Am sorry but am not. We taking like men now. Or maybe they are getting help from withing your ranks fellow highly rank doctors. Either ways. It's not the politicians it you. You need doctors with warrior hearts to fight for you even in your profession. Weaklings will always act out their first instinct at the sight of trouble. Which is turn and run to safety. 1 Like |

whizzler: They are taking advantage of the fact that they do the critical job of saving human lives. But every field of study is important to the development of a country, even Guardian and Counseling. Doctors are only using the advantage they have in the sense of the critical nature of their jobs: a day into doctor strike can result into a significant loss of lives. But doctos need to understand that only them don't build a society, even the facilities and equipment they are using are produced by some people. 6 Likes |

Not without getting into more debt! ![]() That's why we have to stop relying on oil, and relying on selling raw materials and start using our raw materials to produce exportable goods. That's how the rich countries do it. But Nigerians want it now, not later. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Adakintroy: Well, as a doctor, everyone has a right to go where the money is. It has been happening in many parts of the world for generations. (Even in football self. Colombia is now famous for having been a war torn, drug ridden country, but one time in the 1950's, it had a rich enough football league that attracted players from Europe self.). If you don't want doctors to go abroad to make money...then you also have to tell everyone else too that they don't have a right to go where the money is. That won't win you any fans. Ultimately, people want to make money. Lots of money. Even you too. By the way, before you start...I work in Nigeria , and have no plans to migrate in the nearest future. |
