What's all these argument about. Those guys are probably going for their Plab 2 exams. Some agencies organize tutorials for them before the exams and help fix the successful ones in private hospitals with vacancies. |

How could they have entered the UK without visas? That must be a big scale and systematic brain drain syndicate that is leaving the country even more vulnerable. Education is becoming more and more useless in Nigeria and the few relatively well-educated ones that studied when the education system had a bit of credulity and academic values are abandoning the drinking ship. In Nigeria at the moment, most secondary schools systematically organise with parents/guidance, exams board officials, police and community leaders to aid students in exam malpractices in national and continental standardised exams such as JAMB and WASSCE. And the same disruptive process repeats itself in the universities.no handouts or sex, no pass. Exam times in Nigeria are times for schools to rake in millions by collecting money from students to help them cheat. Parents play along with willing with the belief that they are helping their children, completely oblivious of the fundamental harm they are causing their children and the nation. 1 Like |

Chartey: Stop you lies and stop writing down all the stuff you read on blogs Pls read what is in that letter, it is different from what you are writing here Visa waiver when they are not diplomats Gmc registration can only be done in the UK before you can even get a job. If you are not a British citizen, or a national of a country in the European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland, you will need a visa before you travel to the UK. To obtain a visa, you need to meet the requirements of UKVI, which is responsible for managing migration in the UK.(this was written on the NHS site) https://www.healthcareers.nhs.uk/working-health/overseas-health-professionals/immigration-rules so stop your misinformation and lies, USMLE is cancelled till further notice. 1 Like |

poiunt:This is not scam. Maybe you don't know NES. And you should ask yourself....will scammer pay for chartered flight? How much is the gain left for the scammer? NES won't find job for you without passing plab2 so read the article very well before you keep shouting scam. It was very real and NIS just intentionally sabotaged them albeit for a short period 3 Likes |

Aussie2doc: the scammer collected their money, they are 58 doctors in number, the article didnt make mention of plab this is what the scammer made 58*500 = 29 000 pounds it is cleanly written on NHS website If you are not a British citizen, or a national of a country in the European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland, you will need a visa before you travel to the UK.

poiunt: Lol, i pity your wife for house oo cos you go like blind arguments too much. she sef go don tire for you. I don't know what you wrote there about EU or no EU. The minimum experience a Nigerian doctor needs to start working in the NHS is just the housemanship experience. Pass IELTS, plab, sit in your bedroom and apply for jobs, you'll be called up. Everything doesn't have to be suffer head like it is in Nigeria. You're just overwhelmed and shocked that Doctors can be so VALUED and given such a preferential treatment by another country yeah? I know that feeling of Too good to be true. My dear, na so we see am. They will still leave, everything will be sorted out in no time. 7 Likes |

So people hadn't passed their usmle steps, interviewed and come back to Nigeria waiting for jobs before the lockdown? You're not a doctor and you have an agenda. I hope you heal. 2 Likes |

poiunt:oga....some sets have gone earlier. I don't need to keep arguing with you on open forum. I am in a WhatsApp group of fellow doctors and another alumni group of my Alma mater all doctors...I have personal friends involved so stop talking about what you don't know. You are not the one that knows about UKVI and it is foolishness to assume that doctors that have gone as far as writing part 2 plab in the UK don't know that they need visas before boarding. Stop claiming what you don't know. All the 58 doctors were scammed? You think they are dummies? 29 thousand pounds is how much compared to a chartered flight that required special clearance during lockdown? How much is left for the scammer. I beg.... 4 Likes 1 Share |

DBestDoc: Miss, i know the process of being a medical doctor in the UK and i am not overwhelmed, it wasnt written in the article that they wrote or passed plab..if their case was genuine, dont you think the the Nigerian immigration wont allow them to go?, after all they share info like that. I am just surprised that people will actually fall for employment scam even when it is there even on the NHS website, it is clearly written, that you must get a visa to come to the UK If you are not a British citizen, or a national of a country in the European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland, you will need a visa before you travel to the UK.

Those who call this scam should know that desperate times calls for desperate measures. apart from their air ticket, did they pay any job placement fee? No! They all wrote PLAB since January so where exactly did they lose their money to scam? That recruiting firm will make their own profit from the hospitals on per head basis of any Dr they recruit for the hospitals , they hv no money business with Doctors directly. Italy graduated final year medical students without any exams, the UK called out all their retired Doctors to come out and help, so what exactly is ordinary visa that can't be waved to recruit competent hands? Those Doctors and even more will still move out, Nigerian immigration is just playing to the galary for am sure they knew about the arrangement from the outset , how can you not value Doctors and still try to hold them down, it doesn't happen that way. By d way, 58 is even a small number, you can't believe that 85% of the Doctors you see in Nigeria are writhing one foreign exam or the other. |

poiunt:All you have typed is correct. However, you fail to realize that so much has changed provisionally since COVID 19 pandemic which is unprecedented in modern times. Doctors who have license to practice and a job in the UK were granted waivers by UKVI because of this. They are key workers at the forefront. 3 Likes |

How many times do they even pay the little change they agreed without strike? How many states are owing salaries as of today? By the way over 300 military men just retired yesterday in the middle of terrorist crisis.
