Government doesn't subsidize the training of doctors. I don't know where you got that from. Their tuition fees are one of the highest in the Nigerian educational system. The reason why Nigerian doctors are favored abroad is because they still have to write and pass stringent exams despite our terrible academic system and so when they come abroad they tend to do great. There was once a news here on nairaland about a doctor who used slippers to make a neck brace. Only a Nigerian doctor can improvise with such ingenuity.

DrFunmisticGlow:
My God you are ignorant.

To hell with this. I'm done explaining.

NaMe4:


I wonder if such people are ignorant of the fact that the tuition fees in the Colleges of Medicine are usually higher when compared to those of other faculties or they're just being sentimental.

martineverest:
liar..average Ghanaian doctors doesn't earn twice more than nigerian doctors

drmuchin:


bros i dey this table, can totally relate. naija don cast wallahi

Uncleodi:


You are pained because you are not a Doctor.
Go and buy jamb form and study Medicine and tell me how you will survive with 140k per month.

You want to remain a tenant for life abi? You won't buy car or by land to build your personal house.

A nice camry will cost like 3million naira and you have to save for 3 years to buy it when Doctors abroad that have the same brain like you can afford that within 3 months.

No Doctor is greedy, it is the society that puts alot of pressure on us.. #Rethink

frog12:
not only that. their DOCTORS have high DEBT from studying medicine. It takes time to pay back. so they can not RUN AWAY.
EVEN if they run away, can you AFFORD THEM? their yearly school fees is around 20 million NAIRA. their working conditions I think are the same. high stress, zero sleep.

frog12:
actually @HBB1 exaggerate too MUCH.
I remember LAST YEAR, a GHANAIAN doctor working for ONE nice establishment asking me for dash. He said they DON'T PAY them ENOUGH.

obonujoker:


Bro leave these clowns... many of them don't know how it is until they get married and start a family, by then their heads will open... I'm an engineer who is currently looking for a way out even Canada to be precise... I'm tired mhen...

HBB1:



Which high debt?

8k per year schooll fees in the UK?

Is that extraordinary debt?

Go and work abroad first before saying all these oga!

'...locked down because of debt'

Orisiirisi!

frog12:
@HBB1 like to exaggerate.
In the UK, their state medical schools are not expensive. In US, you finish with 300K dollars in DEBT. now if you are a foreign student even in UK, you will pay almost like US. Depending if you go to shithole UK school, fees may be different, but the post working conditions are they same. You have HIGH STRESS, zero sleep.
8k per year school fees in UK is for general studies. Non-medical.

you must be one of the Indomie generation. Talk first, think later!

HBB1:



Hehehe!

Anybody can ask for a dash!

What is the salary of a post house job Ghanian Doctor?

No dey talk wetin you no know oga!

HBB1:


UK citizens in Med School pay that!

In the US, yes it's in the Hundreds...

Their salaries is in the Hundreds of thousands too.

In the end you smile to the bank!

What were you saying again?

NaMe4:



They are even better compensated than their Nigerian counterparts.

frog12:
That's subsidised fees even compared to what foreigners pay.
In Nigerian, our medical students are not in DEBT!
THEY still complain. They work for government, they complain. They open their PRIVATE PRACTICE, THEY COMPLAIN.
another Engineer they complain just now. Nothing they SATISFY this people.

But what's your point?

frog12:
it is because of GREED. DO YOU know why a MAN decides leave his WIFE and marry another instead of looking for solution to the problem?
It is EASY to marry another. but for DOCTORS, to say it is EASY TO LEAVE to another country, then their EDUCATION IS poor. they are NOT USING THEIR BRAINS and education to solve the PROBLEM IN THEIR OCCUPATION.

I will never EMPLOY THOSE DOCTORS. they are what we call THROWAWAYS! put them in the frontline of the WAR. if they die, who CARES!

tufiakwa!

martineverest:
haaa....my sister paid Les than 80k cumulatively for 6years of medical study in federal university.thatsvkess than 250 dollars compared to what Americans and Europeans pay

obonujoker:


What's your problem with Doctors... Why are you not this loquacious over your country cursed politicians that have plummeted the country to abyss of negativity??

frog12:
because these DOCTORS are leaving us when they are NEEDED the most!

During Corona. What if there is a resurgence tomorrow? This is the problem with the government. It should have BLOCKED the doctors from running away. Look Trump bought I think 80% of remdesvir medicine from the world market, because he wanted to TREAT sick AMERICANS. They can even have laws to prevent DOCTORS from going anywhere. They are banning TIKTOK, HUAWEI all for national reasons. We should ban these greedy DOCTORS from running away.
CORONA is an emergency. being a DOCTOR is a calling OATH not to place MONEY, GREEDY above your PROFESSION. but Nigerian doctors are the worst! They cannot TREAT SIMPLE illness and complain ABOUT money all the time. Go to any NIGERIAN DOCTORS, you have only 50% chance of surviving because they only think of MONEY and not the patient.

PerfectlyPerfect:

Which course did she study and what year?
Also note that tuition fees are usually low, but a lot of other charges increase the total annual cost

InvertedHammer:

From Umuahia to PH has more than 100 mortuaries along the expressway and no hospital.

What do you think is their prayer point?

Bro... A doctor or a politician, who should be paid more according to profession??

FrLukas:
Can you see what's happening here?

The government of Nigeria subsidizes the training of doctors across the length and breadth of the nation.

Then when they graduate, they zoom off with their knowledge and go serve other countries.

The reason why the western world is short on doctors is because higher education is very very expensive.

The FG has refused to provide a conducive environment for everyone, so in a way, you can't blame the doctors for fleeing.

Eventually, the common man loses because if Nigeria is emptied of medical practitioners, then people like Buhari and Aisha will always go to the UK and Dubai for their medical needs.

The same doctors that ran away from Nigeria will treat them in a saner environment.

Nigeria, shame!

So if someone gives you free food means you must slave for him Perenially?

Nigeria has no structure for its Doctors.

Mind you a Doctor's life is one of continuous training and retraining.
In Nigeria several doctors are caught in Limbo, no training, poor facilities, slavish pay, nothing!

So you expect a young vibrant doctor to continue to waste in such an environment (if he can help it?)

If you had a child, is that what you would advise?

If your son were a footballer, would you advise him to continue playing in the local league?

Fulfillment in life isn't just about money, just have a quick look at Maslow's hierarchy of needs-- what to eat is lower down on the needs of a man.
Thr intangible things are higher up-- things like living out your potential.

You can never do better than your environment, thatsvrhe strongest factor in determining success!

Nigeria is a horrible environment, wasting dreams lives and destinies. If anybody decides to leaves, don't hold him back, he has his reasons.

If its giving back you are most concerned about, this emigrants will eventually back-- like the Asians are!

Just know that you can't give back what you don't have.
If you are religious, take a cue from the parable of the ten Virgins-- it won't be enough for you, it won't be enough for those you want to help!

martineverest:
they even kill patients and still get away with it

Catsofnaija:


There's no common man in Nigeria.
We picked these leaders.
We don't challenge them.
We seem uninterested.
We won't sacrifice.
We manage.
We are cultural and selfish.
We don't dream of building a great nation.
We pray and fight for God or gods.
We are all guilty.
Lastly we all worship a God that'll burn our fellow humans for choosing another god and we are okay with that.
We don't deserve better

ahiboilandgas:
