There Is No Future For Doctors In Nigeria – Says Top Nollywood Actor As Struggling MD Friend Becomes A Millionaire After Relocating Abroad
Top Nollywood actor Yul Edochie has just opened the flood gate of relocation for doctors struggling to survive in Nigeria after narrating the story of a MD friend who struggled to survive in Nigeria until he relocated abroad and returned one year later with something tangible to show for his efforts.
According to a news report, at least 2000 Nigerian Medical Doctors relocate to the UAE, South Africa, Canada, US , UK and Australia every year.
Sadly, expatriates in the Medical field are getting paid in dollars by private hospitals in Nigeria.
One can only wonder why these top private hospitals hiring abroad-trained MDs are not hiring Nigerian medical school graduates.
Before nko…wide margin between the (RIch)oppressor and the( poor) oppressed. A POOR rich nation ruled by heartless politicians.
Nigerian musicians are not competent that is why top class hospitals can’t hire them
Why will top class hospitals hire MUSICIANS?
Yul, if you are working hard to become a politician and you write this message, then I don’t know what you will want the young doctor to achieve in his own country. Yes, doctors become rich overseas, but they have to go through rigorous exams, licensing and houseman-ship before they can practice in some countries. I am in the understanding that as someone who is aspiring to run for a big position in Nigerian politics, I would expect you to advocate for better services and resources including better or excellent financial package for them to stay and help those who cannot afford to travel overseas for treatment.
Yul I like you a lot and I watch your movies but I will beg to differ with you on this stand you have taken.
