I guess you were there when the NES chattered flight for Nigerian doctors

The NES didnt see to employ doctors from the European Union, it is from only Nigeria they thought of

You guys think, think, It is easier for the UK to get Free doctors from the EU than Nigeria

This is organised fraud by some scammers
Most african countries actually. The doctors from Zimbabwe have left already

So a Doctor in tye UK earns in a month what a Doctor in Nigeria earns in a year? Who can blame Doctors from leaving?
Every profession in a developed country or countries with higher GDP earns higher and not just doctors. I am not a doctor, but my wage is equivalent to around £75,000 a year. Teachers, policemen, pharmacists, mechanics e.t.c all earn higher wages.

The issue with naija is that the politicians earn higher than their counterparts in developed countries despite our very low GDP. The excessive wage could have been used to develop infrastructures, education sector, health sector e.t.c.

Low wage due to low GDP is not the only reason professionals migrate. Everyone likes to work in an environment not lacking tools and resources to do their work diligently.

The gullibility and vulnerability of Nigerians for exploitation is superbly amazing. I read today of Nigerians trafficked to Lebanon and abused there. Here im reading about doctors to be trafficked and exploited in UK. When does it end? When do we get sense to see beyond the smokescreen.

No matter what anybody promise you abroad you must first test its validity before you leave here. This group in UK is private organization not government. What is the guarantee the Nigerian doctors will earn the amount offered? They will lodge them and pay two weeks out of 30days, the other two weeks who pays, and what is the rent? They said they secured visa on arrival for them because UK embassy in Nigeria is closed. The embassy is still processing visa but with waivers for emergencies. If they could get them waiver in UK why not secure waiver for them in Nigeria and get visa before leaving? This whole thing has a smell of scam.

To be honest with you most Nigerian youths with enough sense are motivation are looking outside. Even me I'm outside and I don't regret it. I know it's hard to process immigration and expensive but I will advice all youths below 40 to leave Nigeria LEGALLY for Tinubu, Buhari and their cohorts.

Let's think here.

Another govt is coming to take your citizens during an emergency period and the government of Nigeria is not aware.

Pls, let's think, where has the UK granted any foreign nationals even doctors visas on arrival.

I hope you know that nes is a UK govt agency not a private organization, can a UK govt agency over ride its embassy in Nigeria.

Lastly, Why only nigeria?

The truth will be out soon

It seems thinking and asking questions in Nigeria is a big No, people just believe anything said to them.
it wasn't only nigeria. Zimbabwe too

This is just half of the story and it is not the true story.

These people are going to be experimented for Corona virus vaccination. 3 weeks ago Malawi and Uganda intercepted some of their doctors which were heading to Europe. Honda heavy interrogation they found out they were going to be used for convert 19 test on vaccination

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 grin grin
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?
As if they were trained for free grin

Ladies and Gentlemen.

I did my Findings and i have come to the conclusion that NES Healthcare is a genuine recruitment organisation.

After all the argument up and down, i decided to check on the company and i got their facebook page

the company did chattered a flight but for which country they didn't specify.

We wish everyone flying in on the NES private charter flight tomorrow a safe and pleasant flight - we look forward to welcoming you to the UK

You were stubborn in your ignorance and you don't even have the decency to apologise to all those who, being better-informed, tried to correct you.
You must be a very proud person.

From health minister Dr Osagie Ehanire today:

“With regards to the 58 doctors, we were all surprised to hear that they were at the airport and it was irregular in that many of them did not have visas. I don’t know what evidence you have whether they have left the country but no one should leave the country without a visa.

The NES is a very big organisation in the UK although not as big as the NHS. They certainly have the power to apply for waivers for doctors which they did.


They are not, trying to compare NES to NHS is like comparing a road side pharmacy to a general hospital

If "200 hospitals and clinics" is not big then I don't know what is big.
Nobody said it was anywhere as big as the NHS.
Stop looking for another topic to argue about.

old news. The minister said those things two days ago and he didn't tell you they have not left. That news was on Wednesday. He was indirectly begging doctors not to leave. He didn't say they left or not. And like I earlier told you, they told them to keep quiet about the eventual departure. Once a Nigerian minister tells you that he can't confirm wether they have left or not....what do you think he was saying? And those guys didn't leave without visa....a waiver is equivalent to visa. Just like nysc certificate and exemption. Bottom line is that you are posting old news

Story for the gods, they were told to keep quiet for what exactly? Nigeria and the UK doesn't have any visa waiver agreement so how can a recruitment agency get one for doctors traveling for work?

If at all those doctors left Nigeria they did that with tier 2 visa and not visa waiver.

Old news? An article published today?
