poiunt: You see why it's very important to read carefully before posting? The article clearly stated that the Doctors had already passed the PLAB exams, granted skype interviews and also got jobs but were only stuck at the visa phase due to the lockdown. Who exactly is scamming whom? The 500 pounds they paid was for the flight which was heavily subsidized by the way. You probably do not know how much it costs to charter an international flight, if you did, you'd understand that £500 per passenger is cheap for a charter flight that ran empty. It is known that UK visa is not granted on arrival for Nigerian passport holders on a good day but these aren't good days as we are battling this serious health emergency worldwide. So, Never Say Never. All in all, they'll still find their ways out. Almost every young doctor i know in Nigeria is working on an exit plan. Not even the president can stop this. 16 Likes |

Futuragetty:The same FG that pays politicians 10x the salary of a consultant. Now you're bringing Hippocratic oath,know that this oath is not restricted to a particular country, especially this zoo of a country. This same zoo where hazard allowance is 5k ![]() ![]() Doctors can choose where they decide to save lives from,it's their right!! Why don't you tell your even more selfish FG to give better pay and better working conditions to these doctors? 6 Likes |

gypsey: Lol. I know you know the government have been approving "important" flights. I think that's why they had to lie that they are going for training. If they had claimed they are going there to work, there won't be any kind of approval. Also, this article claimed a lot of doctors have applied since January, before the Pandemic. They did exam and then proceeded to do Interview on Skype If it's a scam, the scammers should have pulled the plug long ago. They shouldn't have done any exam or interview. |

Ayemileto:Right, did the UK government approve their landing in the UK also? if they did, why didn't the UK immigration or government not inform the nigeria immigrations of their intentions? why did the doctors not make any contact with or to their said employers in the UK to support their claims atleast? you know? so many nigerians including some.nigerian leaders thought that husppupi was a legit business man. ![]() 3 Likes 1 Share |

The only way to stop this is to create a bond scheme for doctors. You can't leave until you have worked certain amount of years in Nigeria. If not, doctor/patient ratio will keep falling. It's not their fault for wanting to leave, but then we need to protect ordinary citizens. The politicians can travel abroad if they have a headache. It's ordinary citizens that will suffer if nothing drastic is done. 2 Likes |

poiunt: Lol. It's stated in the article that they already did written exam and granted Skype interview. I don't know if the exam they did is PLAB though. But I know no scammer will go through that stress for £500. Also, the process started since January. Please go back and read the article again, this time more slowly, so you can understand. 3 Likes |

Ayemileto:so because it started in January it couldn't have been a scam? also £500x58 doctors i think you would find it's a substantial amount especially when it's free money to the scammers besides no amount is too little to a scammer it's all profit and at no cost price. ![]() 2 Likes |

Ayemileto: the article didnt make mention of Plab. Plab 1 is written in Nigeria, the next exam is in September and you do not do interview to write plab 2 plab 2 is written in the UK PLAB 2 was cancelled but the restart date is from 13 August 2020 Mr, they collected 500 pound from 54 people that is 27,000 pounds 4 Likes 1 Share |

poiunt: They're normally supposed to pay for their own flight. Since there were no passenger flights, the NES chartered one for them and paid part of it since it would have been too expensive for them. So the 500 pounds was their part of the flight fare. |

Chartey: There is nothing like that in medical circles Where visas are waived because of doctors from developing countries like Nigeria. Even go to the Uk embassy site, there is no info of any need of doctors 1 Like 2 Shares |
