Yes, Kenyan doctors are paid higher compared to Nigerian doctors but there are others African countries that Nigeria pays higher than and they skilled and knowledgeable. Zimbabweans doctors practice in South Africa.

It's not by higher, it's by value and cost of things...

What's the cost of trans and food in Kenya, plus accommodation, etc


Forget this usless ex gov.

What did he do as a gov, to solve the problem?

LikeAking:


What about the bad exchange rate?

That's the mokor course of the problem.

The naira rate in the forex market is currently FIXED BY LAW by the Federal Government through CBN.

The economy of Nigeria will NEVER be competitively productive until the naira is floated, that is, allowed to find it's own price in a free market. Most people don't know it, but a weaker naira is better for Nigeria. If you float the naira and it goes to say, ₦‎3000/1$, assets in Nigeria will become cheaper and attract buyers from abroad. Healthcare companies will set up in Nigeria because it's cheap and likely to have a high profitability. In a floating system, they can take their profits back to their country anytime they want because forex will be readily available no matter what, basically the black market will become the official market and banks will participate.

The Federal Government should also withdraw from ownership or regulation of Universities and associated hospitals. The Federal Ministry of Education and Federal Ministry of Health should be abolished. All Federal Universities and Federal Medical Centers should be handed over to States and laws should be promulgated prohibiting ANY government from dictating prices of ANYTHING in Nigeria.

The only major structural problem then will be OWNERSHIP of assets like land. Today if a healthcare company invests and "buys" land in Nigeria and builds a hospital, the current law says they really don't OWN the land and the physical hospital. The Governor of the State can take it at any time. This is a basic problem called INSECURE PROPERTY RIGHTS. So Nigeria also needs to allow for individual property ownership rights, the Land Use Act should be abolished and the government should dedicate itself to PROTECTION of property rights, so investors feel safe.

Nigerians, PLEASE go and familiarize yourselves with modern economic theory and practice. It's now a matter of life and death, a truly existential matter. Sad thing is, President Tinubu is likely to replace the fuel subsidy with agriculture subsidies. Read his inauguration speech, he said he will bring back Agric Commodity Boards that were abolished in 1986. Imagine ALL the problems in the fuel sector now appearing in the agricultural sector. Think about famine, think about food scarcity replacing fuel scarcity. This is a real and present policy risk.

Nigeria can't continue with foolish socialist policies when there are KNOWN solutions to ALL the problems facing the country. The general solution is LESS GOVERNMENT, anytime you hear anyone tell you government will solve a problem, know they're lying. Government is the problem, everywhere in the world.

Good Luck to Nigeria.

The native doctor treatment is more effective, natural and more affordable.

This is very true, because ordinary Nigerians cannot even afford medical care, na trado-medicine we dey patronize.

You better blame the Nigerian Medical Association who said they don't want too much people in their profession in 2007....
Ok one minister of labour that said "we are exporting Doctors is a welcome development"
Lass lass we go dey alright

monakii:
Understood. But, what did he do to help the situation while he was the Governor? A typical Nigerian, always pointing towards problem without any effort to proffer solutions.

BTW, our problem is not peculiar to the health sector alone. We need to tackle our problems head-on, especially with new hope, faith and passion for the project Nigeria. Successive governments are to blame. We hope is will stop henceforth.

However, Nigerians are terrible people who have little or no fondness for their job and responsibility, rather, they are concerned about the salaries and income. Imagine the investment on the education of these health professionals... This lack of commitment is everywhere including the health sector and sometimes one wonders how and why some of our health practitioners are so dispassionate and unethical. If babalawos will save lives and stay faithful to our national cause, isn't it better for government to support them?

Don't tell me Doctors are paid peanuts o! We are all Nigerians and some of us have never benefitted anything from government, to say the least, a job!

We must stop the habit of jumping ship when it's down. Let's fix our country together!

He was responsible for the establishment of University of Medical sciences during his time as the governor of the state, so he has contributed to a reasonable extent.

Biletaste:
What did he do when he was governor?
I must talk syndrome.

Many of you just type in ignorance. This man record in the healthcare and education systems of Ondo state is still the very best in the history of the state. He established University of Medical sciences the first of its kinds in West Africa atleast and the university just churned out its first doctors. It's not Everytime you critize people, proper research and some level of objectivity is important.

Akwamkpuruamu:


The one that is on France medicare system

All of them moved to France because majority of Nigerian doctors are in the UK and US and their incompetence will show up on them. Atiku as VP went abroad to bandage his hands that he injured. Small scratch wey chemist shop will fix for N800, he go abroad. One of my clients, after spending time in Nigerian hospitals decided to go to the US for treatment only for the doctors there to prescribe medication for him that cost less than 1k in Lagos. It is in our best interest that the doctors travel out for proper training. Coco Samba is a local product. If it came from the US, na $500 for one bottle and here it is very cheap and they said it is very effective.

I understand your comment. In the general state of things in Nigeria, his efforts have amounted to basically nothing.

Nigeria needs whole body reform. Local or State efforts can't make a difference. Government in general is the problem but the biggest of them all is the Federal Government. I don't know how it can be done but the FGN has to be drastically disempowered and reduced. Anyone who's not advocating for that is simply not helping anyone, they're doing NOTHING.

Good Luck to Nigeria.

This politicians are so funny.. very soon even Buhari will start dishing advice from daura as if they were not part of the problem.

hisexcellency34:
Are you not one of those who messed up the country and leave people with no choice than to japa?

No, he's not. He has a good track records when he was governor for 8 years. His people still miss him till today.

How did he do that?

hisexcellency34:

Oga go and check his records in health sector before embarrassing yourself

Akwamkpuruamu:
Because your likes have failed to do the needful in our health care systems

Mimiko never did such

ObiCubanaJnr:


Please tell me more sir ? He brought a python to government House ?

That's how sariake Dickson brought JuJu from India to government House during his time

See another one

PARADIZEPRIEST:
Miniko is a stupid man.he is a culprit in impoverishing ondo people.Idiot man talking trash,his med licence is long expired.fool.

I miss him like kilode

Ex0rrcist:

No, he's not. He has a good track records when he was governor for 8 years. His people still miss him till today.

Yugoslavia247:
Lol.
If na your pikin you go tell am to stay.

People whose children can not even study in naija are the ones doing the most to prevent doctors from going.

Tinubu can not stop corruption..

A country like Nigeria needs someone to stop the corruption.

I'm sure your dad can. Next time, tell him to obtain presidential form

Those developed nations couldn't even train enough medical personnels for their own use. But they're ever ready to lure highly subsidised Nigerian trained medical personnels away with wages. They made education forbidden for their youth due high tuition fees. Talking of reaping where they did not sow. It's highly unfair to Nigeria and Nigerians.

And it is okay for his opinion to be a template for us, right? Was it not him who was erecting status everywhere in his state when he was a gov? That man is sick

And again, wasn't he who introduced a health programme named something like "Abiye" in Ondo state which turned out to be highly successful? Where ambulances go to labouring women's houses to evacuate them to hospitals.
Many Nigerians like Bilestate are uninformed

Look at you.

Mimiko ruined the economy of Ondo State with his style of politics. He should just keep quiet please

Not only brain drain. High cost pf obtaining medical treatment in public and private hospitals will drive Nigerians towards drinking sell procured concoctions. A single Appendicitis operation is now over N300k.

As if he is not part of the problem if he has atleast built world class hospitals during his tenure and doctors are cared for they would have been leaving their states for his

nairalanda1:
I'll just say this....a good health care system costs a lot of money.

You pay for it by high and heavy taxes....or by USA style medical fees.

At the end of the day, if the government wants to keep doctors and nurses and pharmacists, and radiologists even....they have to start finding money to pay into the system. A lot of money

And the thing is, say we should pay higher taxes, or higher fees, and people would shout poverty....so we have to take more loans.

Cut govt excessive & unnecessary spendings

The amount of money we wasted on administration is too much

Let the government be sincere at all level, award 1bn for a project that truly cost 1bn and not award 10bn for a project that can be done perfectly with 500m naira

We have enough to sustain us in this country if properly managed

maasoap:


I'm sure your dad can. Next time, tell him to obtain presidential form

My father had to fight corrupt people as a chairman of landlord association. People who wanted to embezzle funds for the electric poles fought him. He stood is ground. Because of him many other wealthy men were willing to fund projects because they were sure it would be used rightly and as agreed.

This people im question fighting him are Yoruba people. Some said he should go back to his state. All because he was doing the right thing but they had to obey the chairman.

His regime after then has been the best.

My father would be the best candidate for me. He proved himself in small position.
However your father I am sure is a thief. He passed the genetics to his son. And his son loves thieves same way he loves his father.

hisexcellency34:

Pls explained, he created n finance the said medical University

It's very funny when you see politicians saying the right thing but do the opposite...bunch of greedy insensitive people

Acekidc4:
If you take care of them very well, they won't have the Need to Japa. Am sure President Tinubu will do something about that very soon!!

You lots said all these nonsense about Buhari and things even got worse under him. Apc is doom and has nothing to offer including your drug lord
