99% of Nigerian doctors are women mongers

Most Nigerian doctors especially the house officers no nothing but won't humble themselves for the skilled nurses to put them through thereby making the patients blame the nurses when things go wrong since the nurses are there 24hrs with the patients

With Hausa as President, don't expect a revamp in any institution. They are the most daft, most backward race in Nigeria. Nigeria will never Progress as long as Hausa still hold the position of Power. Nigeria is stunted. You cannot have the best University, they are backward. No institution in the North is classified best in anything, Nepotism is their styles, where they remove every southerner and put a dull person in every position of Power
It has been going on for too long and the Intelligent Ibos and Yorubas are just too docile to reject the rubbish

Don't blame the Doctors, they are working under a terrible circumstance

*If he gets angry and effects a policy, all your degrees might be useless in your hands...*

*That is why all Jesus promised His disciples was not money or scholarships...*

*But He said: "And ye shall receive power..."*

*Because He understands that there are powers...*

*Don't just pray for promotion in the office ..*
*Pray for promotion in the school of Power...*

*They can raise your salary, yet, a 9-year old girl with demonic powers can be controlling how you spend the salary...*

*Your father might have ended the way he did because of powers that fought him...*

*What your family is passing through might be because of inherited powers ...*

*Thank God for your degrees and business ideas...*

*But ma/sir, look for the Power of God ...*

*As you go to church don't ask God for money as usual ...*

*Cry to God for His Power...*

*How far could the Apostles have gone in life without the endowment of the Power from on High? ...*

*Can you see why Jesus told them not to move an inch without the power?...*

*Don't you think that what you are going through in that business or marriage is because you went in without the power of God?...*

*You need the Power of God...*

*If you are reading this, God might be depending on you to change the condition of your family...*

*School degrees and business ideas might have failed...*

*Can you cry to God for His power this day? ..*

Oga Igbo have education... Yoruba don't for now and it's Yoruba people that is the weakest link in South and they keep putting us in this mess and situation.... Can't you see their cities how it look

the guy tire me,
and he somehow found the guts to bash a doctor.
the real question you guys should ask yourselves is if you are the best at what you do in your different profession? and maybe collectively we can make the country better.
we have a common enemy here folks, and it's certainly not doctors.

Asking them if they are best is not an excuse be serious... We are taking about life here and doctors must be the best ! There is no middle ground

Terrible! A professor in UCH ibadan killed my dad, he took him from uch private suite to a private hospital where he did a prostate enlargement surgery with bad equipment he ruptured the poor mans kidney/liver and after some days my dad went into coma where he eventually died. This man took about 2 million naira. It’s been a major blow to my family till date and this is supposed to be the best urologist in Nigeria who ignored standard practices due to his love for money. May he never know peace!

Around 2016, I had a skin condition and decided to go to a teaching hospital in Ogbomoso. When it was my turn to see the doctor, I met some group of doctors and some college students (they were doctors too but still undergoing training as they all sat and observing the senior doctors). After series of questions I was asked to UnCloth that they will like to see my lower limbs. Everybody including the students started looking me and observing my reaction. That day, I felt so bad because I thought they were just using me as an object of expression without seeking my consent.

Generally Nigeria Health Sector is a mess. My 16 years old daughter was sick last year, she was referred to Federal Medical Centre Abeokuta from our Private Hospital. On getting there, my wife told me they dont have anything, if you need drug the doctors will be the one to direct you to where to get the drugs, you dont bring the drugs they wont attend to you. After spending some months there she get better and go back home for monthly appointment at the hospital. Later they told my wife that she will need one surgery to undertake for her final treatment. Then when I was around I took her for that appointment one day, I met with the doctors and ask some questions regards the surgery, the doctor direct me to one hospital and told me they just did it for some kid some weeks back, one is 10 years and one is 12 years. I went to the hospital, they told me it will cost me 3.2m.

The when I get back home I went online to research about the surgery and I find out that the surgery can not be done for age lesser than 18 years, then I was confused, because of this I make an appointment for her in the country where I was residing did 3 months visiting visa for her to come and do the surgery. On getting to the country I took her to the hospital for her appointment and they did series of test and xray, then give us another appointment. Then finally on the day of appointment they lecture both of us that the surgery can not be done until she is 18 years, because it will affect her in the future if they did it now. They retained her appointment and told me she should come back after two years for the surgery.

And Nigeria doctors already done same surgery for 10 years and 12 years old kid without telling them what it may cause them and their parents in the future.

May God save us all.

Re: Share Your Experience(s) With Nigerian Doctors by Jamesilvar(m): 5:56am On Nov 27, 2019
Thank God for doctors.
Saving lives every second of the day even against all the hate, abuses and hunger!

Only a doctor will see the need to perform surgery with phone light and profuse sweating because of the passion to save lives.

Only a doctor will go about begging for blood from the bank and begging to bill drugs to folders to save lives.

Only a doctor will work 24hrs and still be smiling the next morning as though it's just routine.

Only a doctor will leave his house at night even when not on duty to save lives.

Only a doctor will use his money to treat a patient and hope for the best.

Only a doctor will still have to treat a patient even when they can't afford basic investigations.

Only a doctor will finally take the blame for all the mistakes coming from the lab, pharmacy and the ward.

Only a doctor put himself at risk to be the first point of contact regardless of the disease.

Only a doctor will save your life when you present half dead after you have been messed up by the numerous labs, pharmacies and shrines you have subjected yourself to.
Only a doctor will be struggling save your life even when your relatives have given up on you in the hospital bed.

Only a doctor can save your life last last and when he can't he just hopes the Priest can save your soul!

God bless all the doctors out there saving lives for nothing but a cup of coffee and a thank you smile.

They are coded flirts and perverts. Had cataract surgery 2 years ago in a missionary hospital and uncle codedly insisted I should be moved to a private ward while the other patients remained in the general female ward.
Thanks to my mums ever sensitive nature, it could had been something else.
Asides this.... The hospital services in general was topnotch and the other Doctors where awesome.

This would probably be lost in the numerous unflattering reviews but I want to thank Nigerian doctors for being so amazing

I had appendicitis in 2016 and went to federal medical centre in Umuahia. I was treated with respect, nurses ensured I wasn't in pain. The doctors removed my appendix as an emergency and I was transferred to a medical ward where I received my antibiotics exactly on time. I am prone to scarring but the surgery was so perfectly done that the scar has disappeared. I am well appreciative of the services provided by the doctors, nurses, lab staff, porters at federal medical centre umuahia. Good job guys!

A lot of Nigerians go to hospitals with a massive chip on their shoulder, then wonder why they get an attitude. Lose that chip, my brother and sister. Respect our hospital staff, they are working to keep us all alive in a highly disadvantaged system.

Happened to a very good friend of mine:

One girl slept didn't wake up and was rushed to the hospital. The doctors ran tests, and did all they could (in their illiterate mind) before confirming her dead.

The mum however refused the hospital moving her daughter to the mortuary, insisting she was alive. Now when someone dies a final injection is given to the corpse before the body is moved. The mum fought tooth and nail against it's administration.

The family ordered one of their doctor sons in the USA to come back and run a final check on his sister. He took an immediate flight and arrived a few days later. Now note throughout all this the girl's body was covered on the hospital bed like a dead corpse.

Dude came in, didn't even need any fancy equipment, just checked her body and confirmed.....SHE WAS ALIVE!!!! He ordered specific tests, gave her some injections after which she regained conciousness.

The incident still scares me to this day. If not the family had him, the hospital would have killed their daughter. How many people who are in a worst financial situation have suffered a worst fate?

God help us.

I have had multiple bad experiences with Nigerian doctors.

I have been misdiagnosed and struggled with health issues as a result of bad diagnoses.
However, I strongly believe that with a well regulated health industry, equipments, training and adequate pay, Nigerian doctors can easily perform better than their peers anywhere in the world.

This brings me back to what I’ve always said; Nigeria can never be a successful country until we have more middle class than poor people.

The poverty of the majority poor will make it difficult for any industry to flourish in Nigeria including the health sector.





A friend of mine lost her mum to Doctors' carelessness. The mum was diabetic and came down with "2go". She was admitted and administered with a drip that had glucose in it. The woman went comatose and died shortly after. These days, whenever my mum falls ill, I follow her to the hospital and I don't fail to sound it aloud that she has HBP, lest they prescribe drugs that would do her more harm than good.

After my encounter in 2016, I would rather die in peace in my house than visit a naija hospital ever again.

All the good doctors that trained in the 70s, 80s and 90s are almost not practicing again.

The next good ones have left the country. The remaining, well, are just as good as Google diagnosis.

This is the major reason I want to leave the country. To access better health care.


You just spoke my mind. I have been having stomach problems for the past 15 years now. None of them seems to know what's wrong with me... They keep treating typhoid fever because test results shows typhoid. Some of them are even saying is psychological. I met one long time ago and he gave up on me.

I just wanna travel out for a better treatment. I will save up for that.

Had a surgery when I was young. The doctor appeared calm and composed. He said it wouldn't hurt so I don't need to be put to sleep. Probably saw me as a quick gravy train.
Despite the fact that I was injected with some analgesics, the pain was intense.
Believe me, I didn't make the second appointment. He probably did it for his co-worker.




How can a surgery not hurt? I bet the hospital didn't have anesthetic in stock.

April 27th/28th, I was called that dad had stroke around 3am. I rushed him to the private hospital and the doctor purposely delayed by ranting that he hasn't been coming for drugs (even after they almost killed mum about two years ago). Now get me straight, we returned there because of NHIS and I helped in the long run.
Dad was snoozing and snoozing without response. No fan or generator so I had to keep fanning him while my brother dabs his body with a wet handkerchief. This happened the first two nights and the second night, I saw what I've never seen in my lifetime even though I'm still young.

The doctor was sitting with a friend, taking BARON! shocked
We've been asking for a referral and he is right there taking Baron on a Sunday afternoon instead of attending to us! In the morning, we all threatened to destroy the hospital as a friend once lost his father there and another his brother not too long ago.

He later gave us the referral to UCH Ibadan about 10am after many delay. Dad died at UCH about 1:27pm.

If he had died in that stupid hospital, you could have heard all these stories earlier, maybe in the newspaper, online, on blogs or all of the above.

RIP dad. cry

I am also a champion for better economy. But it's obvious that the govt of the day has other priorities outside fighting poverty.
