We can only get better learning from abroad. The Nigerian system made it difficult to nuture potential. We are appealing to PMB to look into how Nigerian banks are making it difficult for those abroad to use their debit card for basic need.

Studying medicine in a federal university here in Nigeria is just frustrating. No matter how young you finished secondary school, you can't graduate from a federal medical school at that age

Ola Orekunrin, now 30 years from Ilawe-Ekiti in Ekiti State of Nigeria, was born, raised and trained in the UK, where she graduated as one of the youngest medical doctors in England . She is also a trainee helicopter pilot.

While she was studying to become a doctor in the UK, her younger sister fell seriously ill while traveling in Nigeria. The 12-year-old girl, who’d gone to the West African country on holiday with relatives, needed urgent care, but the nearest hospital couldn’t deal with her condition.

Orekunrin and her family immediately began looking for an air ambulance service to rapidly transport the girl, a sickle cell anemia sufferer, to a more suitable healthcare facility. They searched all across West Africa but were stunned to find out there were none in the whole region.

“The nearest one at the time was in South Africa,” remembers Orekunrin. “They had a 12-hour activation time so by the time they were ready to activate, my sister was dead".
“It was really a devastating time for me and I started thinking about whether I should be in England talking about healthcare in Africa, or I should be in Africa dealing with healthcare and trying to do something about it.”

Orekunrin did the latter. Motivated by the tragic death of her sister, the young doctor decided to leave behind a high-flying job in the UK to take to the Nigerian skies and address the vital issue of urgent healthcare in Africa’s most populous country.

Determined to make a difference in medical practice and health care delivery system in Nigeria, Orekunrin decided to set up Lagos-based Flying Doctors Nigeria, the first air ambulance service in West Africa, transporting victims of medical emergencies, including industrial workers from the country’s booming oil and gas sector. It basically provides critical care transportation solutions to both the private and public sector by selling yearly air ambulance cover plans to states, companies and individuals.

Since then, she has successfully steered the company upwards in achieving its corporate goals and ensuring sustained growth.“Against all odds, I passed my A-Levels with flying colors, started my degree at the University of York at 15. I supported myself all through, working. I wrote my final medical examinations at 21, thus emerging the youngest medical doctor in England,” said Ola Orekunrin.

Decibel:
I will advise her to stay put in Britain where there is still job prospects not in Zoogeria where the children of the party loyalists have been rewarded by Buhari through the backdoor employment @CBN without an approval from FCC grin

You are too late.
Her company in Nigeria flying doctors has been around for several years. They have several aircraft and helicopters. http://flyingdoctorsnigeria.com/

She is doing pretty good. Providing employment and opportunities and saving lives.

My suggestion, stay positive and live out your passion. Time is blowing past. Fast.

Had it been she is in Nigeria her dreams at that age cannot comes through because Nigeria lecturer can never let her achieves her aims at that age. You know our lecturer now, see me in my office they want to taste from her nice juicy. Nigeria still has a long way to go from president to councillor,from the richest to the poorest and from the most literate to the illiterate. Referendum is all what we need. I am a Yoruba and I supported Republic of Biafra and my advice for them is they should do it in a peaceful way and manner we are tired of force marriage. Nigeria has expired since 2014. Nigeria is too big for our bad and corrupt leaders to control. Igbokwenu I support you with my soul and heart. Those people that want one nigeria are the people that are benefitting from the problem of this country.
