I want to raise an alarm about a horrible injustice being carried out against nigerian nurses.
Many of them don’t have the voice, the reach, or the platform for their pain to be heard or seen so I will gladly do it for them.
The Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMcN) is refusing indefinitely to verify license for any nurse who plans and wants to travel abroad.
The license verification is a mandatory requirement for any nurse who trained in Nigeria to relocate abroad for work as a nurse.
The decision by the NMCN means:
1. Any licensed nurse who is in Nigeria now cannot relocate abroad for work. So they can’t move from Nigeria to uk, usa, Saudi or anywhere else.
2. Any licensed nurse who trained in Nigeria but already abroad cannot leave where they are for anywhere else. So they can’t move from uk to usa, Canada or anywhere. They are stuck where they are.
This is a form of professional imprisonment and hostage. And it makes zero sense however you look at it.
Nigerian nurses are overworked, underpaid, overused, under-appreciated and unfulfilled with their work in Nigeria.
This is why they want to leave Nigeria.
The answer to underpaid, overworked and unfulfilled health workers is NOT to hold them hostage in a system and a country they no longer want to be in. We need to address the issues, pay them better, make work more fulfilling and build a country that professionals are happy to live in.
The government is full of lunatic retards.
There is no other explanation beyond this. Otherwise, they should know that the only people who suffer this draconian decision by the NMCN is the patients and populace at hand.
When you force nurses, or any other professionals, to work against their wishes, what kind of care do you think the patients will get? Do you want patients to be treated by nurses who have mentally logged out of the system, who no longer wish to be in the country and who are being professionally held hostage against their will?
If this is not clear madness from the NMCN, then please tell me how else you define and explain insanity.
It’s an absolute disgrace and distasteful shame that rather than engage the nurses in a productive process that addresses their concerns and offers them juicy packages that discourages them from leaving, the NMCN is choosing the shameful path of professional hostage taking.
Tomorrow, when someone goes to a general hospital, and they see a nurse who is morose, irritable, upset and uncaring; you will wonder why. But you will never know that is a healthcare professional who is forced against her wishes to work in a system she no longer wants to be part of.
And don’t get me wrong:
I’m not saying I want all nurses to leave the country. I’m only saying the solution to the problem of nurses leaving is to specifically address the reasons why.
What I’m saying very emphatically is that the answer is NOT to simply place a technical ban on their escape and forcefully make them attend to patients who will only most likely be the ones to suffer potential half-hearted treatment from a nurse who is completely fed up of the entire system but has been tied down and forced to work.
What I’m saying is not a joke.
Canada has confirmed it. Saudi has confirmed it. Texas/USA has also confirmed it.
Today it is the nurses being held hostage. It could be doctors tomorrow. Or dentists. Or pharmacists. Or dietitians. Or opticians. Or optometrists. Or engineers. Or physiotherapists.
It could literally be anybody. It could be you. Please kindly lend your voice. Please let’s speak up for these nurses.
Pls share this everywhere.
Kindly retweet to create awareness.
Dear #funders, when designing #projects for youths in Africa, please consider the age range 18 to 45. Many people only find their calling after 30, leaving them with limited #support from #youth-focused funding.

1. We know the few good heads that will WIN a free, fair & credible INEC conducted election, without recourse to guns & Vote buying
Peter Obi, Seyi Makinde & Kingsley Moghalu will have our votes. They’ve been with us, even now. They’ve been Tweeting since the Twitter Ban as well
Leadership problem is gender-blind. We hav women in politics. Stella Oduah & Remi Tinubu are women. They aren’t only financially corrupt, the later is power drunk. I’ll rather have sound minds, irrespective of gender. Politics is gender-blind. Gender don’t fix economies, ideas do
I will not encourage anyone to join politics as a career. The reason we have many problems in Nigeria is that we have many who never managed people or created wealth, now managing national resources. It makes people desperate because they have no career to go back to. - Peter Obi
While we continue to use our voice and platform to advocate for good governance, we must also be ready to align ourselves and produce that system that we crave for. 2023 Is already here. We can either begin the work now or cry later.
Ambition and kindness are not mutually exclusive.
We can set big goals and aspire to great things but do so in a way that honors, supports, and uplifts those around us.
