Every country pays doctors more than senators and congressmen.
Except Nigeria.

Nigeria pays senators more,
The doctors run abroad to USA, UK

The senators now take the money they should have used to pay the doctors, they use these funds to go abroad for treatment.
Instead of paying the Nigerian doctor $500, they would go and spend $50,000 for a single doctors visit in USA/UK.

The senators pretend they don't know why healthcare workers are leaving the country in droves.
And ironically, some of them end up dying like chicken!

Then they go to those countries for medical treatment and check ups 🤡🤡

Neglecting their medical doctors and facilities back at home, even after those have been budgeted for, Nigeria is a sad reality 💔💔😢😢

The data is wrong for claiming that Nigerian doctors receive a minimum of $10,000 per year. $10k is 15 million naira per year, that's 1.25 million naira per month. Which doctor in Nigeria receives 1.25 million per month?

Nigeria is using a cultists leadership system, where leaders takes all and need to be protected even with lives of his subjects

The data is wrong..

I don't think any Nigerian doctor get that much

And for the basic salaries of Senators across the globe you use official figures and we all know that no where in the world will someone spend so much money for election and be earning lower than a Doctor.

Also the officers basic salary of a senator in Nigeria is about 200k, constitution project about 500k and when u add other allowances it push the total package to 1M+ officially


So those figures are official figures

Nigeria is just using the nation resource to fund the expensive lifestyle of the useless politicians. Time to do part time legislature.

Very good question, but he will tell you how that will increase inflation if professionals start warning much like politicians

Because you cannot argue for removal of subsides, and argue for better salaries for all, and argue against corruption in your mind.

Re: Salaries Of Doctors & Lawmakers In Nigeria Vs In US, UK, SA & Kenya (Video) by nairalanda1(m): 10:51am On Aug 24
My Take on #InsideSources current edition was released yesterday only on @channelstv. Among other points, i noted that in the US, Congressmen and Senators are paid about $174,000, but an average orthopaedic surgeon in America earns over $568,000 annually. More than their elected representatives.

In the United Kingdom, members of the Parliament are paid £91,000 a year, but a consultant grade doctor takes home more about £131,000 yearly.

In South Africa, members of the Parliament get between 1.2 million rands and 1.7 million rands a year, but consultant grade doctors in that country earn more - at about 2.3 million rands yearly.

In Kenya, surgeons receive annually about 20 million shillings compared to about 8.7 million shillings paid to members of Parliament.

However, here in Nigeria, an orthopaedic surgeon takes an annual salary of 17.5 million on the average-the same thing as a heart surgeon in this country.

But our members of the National Assembly, with their running cost added, which is paid to them directly, and other allowances, they take home over 20 million naira in a month. Compared to surgeons, who in Nigeria take less than N20m in a year!


Of course we must

1. Improve tax to gdp

2. Really fight corruption

3. Also, at the end of the day, become an industrial nation that exports...manufactured goods and services

4. FIght corruption.

But we won't do that...we want our side to win. That is why we never develop.

He is talking about the apex doctors, the orthopaedic / heart surgeons etc. Check it again. Perhaps they earn close to that.

It is because we don't do what the USA and UK do.

Do that, then we can see some benefits.

But because you think I am an APC supporter, you keep on asking questions

NO, NIgeria would work if we allow the free market, and allow good enough taxation, and also actually fight corruption, and also...very important...manufactured goods and services.

If Nigeria splits, all the new countries would be mini-nigerias. Broke and in crisis.

This are the kind of write up I detest. We are always comparing other nations when our wages and salaries are less but when it comes to service delivery and value we don't do same. Is it not this same Doctors who took oath to save lives but will not save the life of a gun shot victim because one police says there should be gunshot report before treatment, which is even against the constitution of thr FRN. When there are emergencies you'll not see Doctors and yet all we hear that they are being less. Have we not had Doctors as Ministers of Health and even in the National Assembly, what are their contributions!!!??
How can people to go hospital and it will be like an NNPC outlet where people queue for several hours before they are attended to by a Doctor!!!!
