Adire? Instigating that all tribes should put on Adire, a Yoruba attire? Better still, Igbo females should wear George wrapper with a matching top while men should wear isi agu. Hausa men should wear jalabiya and hula while females should wear zani, riga and etc. No ADIRE here o

@JeremiahAletor I always had the idea that these doctors were always asking for more, not realizing they were only asking for what was initially signed and agreed upon. This is honestly bad government policy.
We need better leaders for real. We are losing talented doctors everyday Abeg.

Every time the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors goes on strike, the same tired question comes up: “Why again?” But maybe the more honest question is, why wouldn’t they?

Let’s start from the beginning. Training a doctor in Nigeria is not cheap. From primary school to secondary school, then 6–7 intense years of medical education in public universities, heavily subsidized by the government, the country invests millions into each doctor, often estimated in the range of ₦5 million to ₦10 million or more per graduate.

That is public money. That is national investment. That is a country building human capital for its own survival.

Now here’s where it becomes painful. Those same doctors are leaving at an alarming rate. In 2024 alone, over 4,000 doctors and dentists left Nigeria.

Over a few years, we’re talking about tens of thousands gone. And where are they going? Mostly to countries like the UK, where Nigeria consistently ranks among the top three sources of international medical graduates, right after India and Pakistan.

So think about the economics of it. The UK spends roughly £200,000–£250,000 to train a single doctor. But instead of bearing that cost to train enough doctors for their healthcare system, they recruit Nigerian doctors, already trained, already experienced.

That means they are saving hundreds of thousands of pounds per doctor, while Nigeria quietly loses both money and manpower. We are literally subsidizing the healthcare systems of other countries.

Now layer that with Nigeria’s reality. We are a country of over 220 million people, and according to recent data, we have only about 55,000 practicing doctors. To meet global standards, Nigeria would need roughly 390,000 doctors.

That means we currently have barely 14% of the doctors we actually need. Fourteen percent!!! And even within that 14%, the system cannot retain them, cannot pay them adequately, and still pushes them to the point of repeated strikes.

Just imagine that for a second. 220 million people being cared for by a fraction of the required workforce, and that fraction is overworked, underpaid, and constantly leaving. This is not just a shortage; it is a crisis.

And then we get to the strikes themselves. Many people think NARD is always “asking for more,” but the reality is even more troubling, they are often asking for what has already been agreed.

After previous strikes that lasted weeks, agreements were reached, including adjustments like the Professional allowance table (PAT). But then, the same government turns around to delay or attempt to reverse those agreements.

So doctors are forced to strike again, not for new demands, but for promises already made. Why should professionals have to fight repeatedly for what was already signed?

Now let’s talk about remuneration. A resident doctor in Nigeria earns roughly $300–$500 a month. Compare that to South Africa, where a doctor earns around $3,000–$4,000 monthly, or even higher in the UK and U.S.

And yet, Nigerian doctors often work longer hours, under worse conditions, with fewer resources.

And the human cost is real. During past strikes, there have been heartbreaking reports of patients unable to access care.

So when people say “NARD is always on strike,” what they are really seeing is the symptom of something deeper. A country that spends millions training doctors, only to lose them. A system that cannot meet even 20% of its healthcare needs. A government that signs agreements and fails to honor them. A workforce stretched beyond its limits.

At this point, it’s important to say it clearly: this is not just inefficiency. It is not just bad policy. It is a failure of planning, a failure of priority, and a failure of leadership.

Because no serious country trains its doctors for export, underpays the few that remain, and then acts surprised when the entire system begins to collapse.

@Teeniiola May devil deal with these men brutally. May the earth they walk upon judge them. May the sun scorch them. May the water they drink curse their body. May the blood in their body curse them.

[Mabel @MabelOkeke2]

@Teeniiola @officialABAT Aren't you going to say anything about this?

[Mabel @MabelOkeke2]

@instablog9ja You cannot prove the reality of heaven and hell. You can have only have faith. That is my answer. Faith isn't for everyone to have. The most reason why Christians have this faith was because of an encounter.

[Mabel @MabelOkeke2]

@instablog9ja I blame the people clapping. Let him talk first. Most of them do not even understand what the guy is saying, all they know how to do is to clap and hail people. I pity them

@mog_russEN At that age, your discipline is only about what you’ve taught them from age 0-12.
He’s so horrible for beating her especially in public. He clearly didn’t deposit great manners in her when she was little
