Nigerians won't bat an eye paying a celebrity tailor 1m for a bespoke attire.
They'd happily pay a lawyer 500k for consultation, a lawyer that's not yet a SAN oo.
They'd pay a photographer 2m for a 1 day event, and 150k for a 15mins studio session and 5 pictures.
They'd pay a travel consultant 200k for a 10 minutes over the phone consultation.
They'd pay house agents 10k each to see one property.
They'd pay an MC 500k to speak at their father's burial.
But God forbid that the hospital demands that they pay to see a consultant doctor, then all hell breaks loose.
That's where they draw the line.

Let us clarify something here,
This is for the sake of public education.

1. Paying 119k consultation fee to see a gynaecologist is *not* ridiculous. This is a very fair charge to see a specialist in a private clinic setting.

2. It takes about 15years of medial school and postgraduate education to become a gynaecologist. You can’t see a specialist and pay peanuts. It costs time, money and a lot of work to become a gynaecologist.

3. Many of you gladly pay 500k for wig, you have no problems with 150k for bridal makeup that nobody notices, which will wash away in 3hours and you can even casually pay 50k to tie gele at wedding but you draw the line at paying less than 120k to see a gynaecologist for your healthcare. If you can spend premium money on ephemeral things like wig and makeup, pls kindly prioritise your health, dear Nigerians.

4. The only way you can see a specialist and pay cheap or pay nothing is if the service is subsidised or funded by the government or by NGOs. This is why government hospitals are cheaper, or sometimes free, compared to private hospitals. You may pay nothing as an end user but someone else is actually covering the true costs of that service.

5. This takes me to my final point:
Marie Stopes in Nigeria is a non-profit NGO that is heavily funded by donor grants and international organisations who subsidise the actual costs to make it cheap for you the end user.

It is a bad argument to compare Marie Stopes (funded by NGO money) to a private clinic gynaecologist that relies solely on being run by patient’s fees.

The actual cost in Marie Stopes will be far higher if not for the donations of good people and organisations who ensure the doctors are well paid and you won’t need to pay high for treatments or consultation.

I know life is tough in Nigeria and people find accessing good healthcare very expensive for the average person, however this is not the gynaecologists fault. This is the governments fault who have impoverished us, made us poor, failed to maintain the public hospitals and who have made people’s earnings so little that they can’t afford healthcare.

I hope this explanation is helpful.

we really have to do something about healthcare remuneration or it’ll only get worse.

The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors should not have to beg for what has already been agreed upon. The Federal Government signed a deal on the Professional Allowance Table, and now it wants to abandon it. This is not governance; it is betrayal.

Our resident doctors are the last line of defence in hospitals that are already collapsing. They work gruelling hours, in impossible conditions, for pay that insults their sacrifice. And now, the government seeks to take away the little that was promised? The Tinubu administration must demonstrate commitment to the issues: 19 months of unpaid Professional Allowance arrears; promotion arrears gathering dust; a Medical Residency Training Fund stuck in bureaucratic limbo; and a government that treats its doctors as an afterthought and remains unconcerned as they flee the country in droves.

Every doctor Nigeria loses to the UK, Canada, or Saudi Arabia is a failure of leadership, not a failure of patriotism. You cannot ask people to serve a nation that refuses to honour its own word.

I stand with NARD. Pay what you owe. Honour what you signed. Or explain to 200 million Nigerians why their hospitals will go dark on Tuesday. -AA

[Dr Mohammad Usman Suleiman @mohagirei]

I am fighting to get:

1. 25/35% outstanding arrears paid.
2. House officers Professional Allowances implemented.
3. Promotion arrears for doctors in 60 hospitals across the country over a period of 5 years paid.
4. Salary arrears in UUTH Uyo, FMC Owo, FUHSTH Otukpo, OAUTHc Ile Ife ranging from 4 months to 22 months paid.

Collective Bargaining that the FG set up to renegotiate Doctors and Health Workers Salaries has been stalled

So yes, Don’t ask what doctors earn monthly.

Rather, ask what our politicians earn monthly.

Ask if there is any elected official that is owed 20 months salary arrears.

Ask why?

Then ask how many Doctors left the shores of Nigeria in 2025. It was >4,500 in 2024.

In fact, the question to ask is how come we still have doctors in Nigeria?

[Jesse Jagz Abaga @Jessejagz]

If you knew what Nigerian doctors earn monthly, you’d wonder why any of them still go to work.

Easier to say when you’ve watched your team score two beautiful goals but man it must be soul destroying to spend so much on season tickets and all you ever see is rugby scrums at corner kicks. Can’t even tell who scruffs it in until the announcement. Turgid.
