I think many of us don't understand a thing or just choose to be plain stupid.....

The Uk has what it calls the waiting list....7.6millon people in the England are waiting to see the doctor....
In Wales 70,000 people are waiting to see the doctor for the past 18 Months...

The other day...doctors talk about Gambia paying $4000 to doctors....but they won't tell you that the cost of studying medicine in the Gambia is $4800 per year....

What is the cost of studying medicine in the UK? £9,000 pounds per year... people will go to ife or Lag or last for #25,000 per year and be asking to be paid the same with those that go to school with $4,800 and £9,000

What is the cost of housing? Or electricity or health insurance? Or transportation?
The only thing cheap in the uk is food and that is rising as well...
And when we talk of Minimum wage... what is the difference between the politicians and the Civil servants ? What most of them take home is far greater than their salary

Their system is no longer working...they now need new breds of Slaves....

You may curse APC and PDP or APGA....

But never curse Nigeria....when you compare countries do it holistically

What a nonsensical statement.

Does cost of education determine wage? So, if I enjoy free education I'm expected to work for free?

Fact is, our doctors and other professionals are not properly renumerated and the work environment isn't conducive hence the desire to seek higher wage and condition elsewhere. Would you stop them because they said N25k at Ife?

Talking of civil servants , how many of them have the rare opportunity of making more money aside their regular pay? Stop generalising and focus on the main issues. People are poorly paid in Nigeria despite the rising cost of living.

No matter what happens, UK can never be as worst as Nigeria in almost all parameters. No need to compare the both and use it as basis to justify our collapsing system.

Birmingham lule pii. That Brexit has turned out to be more of a curse than blessings to the United Kingdom.

It's the fallout of pride. Pride goeth before a fall. They wanted a return to the days of imperial Britain where they are lord over other nations but today all they got after Brexit is disgrace and a bleak future.Check my signature for free stuffs!

Nigeria that has fallen to the ground and still remains on the ground from when Buhari took over in 2015, is it due to pride.

You fell , not Nigeria. You fell because you are not using your talent in a productive, profitable and patriotic manner. Your thoughts towards the land is negative so its rejecting you and what you sow in the land. In same Birmingham, that same yesterday was the day of their own breakthrough while those with negative mindset will sink deeper in despair and failure like you are feeling right now.
It's your negative mindset and productivity you need to change

The cost of studying medicine in uk is exactly the same as the cost of studying sociology. No diff.
So stop the hating.

They have waiting list cos their hospital is govt funded. Allow privatisation and its your money that talk for you.
If you can't wait in line, go to private.
They are everywhere in uk.
Also, reduce the influx of immigrants and the waiting line will reduce drastically.
Only Nigerians migrating to uk every year is more than 100 thousand. Add that with other countries and the waiting lines continue to expand.

The remittance from Diasporans in the same uk helped in cushioning your economy that politicians and their allies have battered to ashes.

Strong currency is bad for them. That's why their exports are expensive and uncompetitive. UK is in real trouble. Our weak currency is a blessing for our manufacturing and export business, that's why it's growing massively and tax paid to govt doing great.
It's mostly lazy , idle and unwise people who don't see the opportunities around them but just complain and grumble all the time.
absolutely correct, I am into mining of industrial minerals and the potential are undescribable, The minerals resources in Nasarawa state alone can easily fund our entire country education but because it's not harnessed effectively the state will be worse off than Birmingham if it does not receive FG allocation in barely three months

Brexit is part of it, of which they would have recovered slowly. But the straw that broke the carmel's back is the Russia-Ukraine war.

It slowed down their economy a lot. The West shot itself in the foot out of pride.

I don't give half a fûck if you're rich or not. I'm only talking about the stats you dropped.

If doctor per 1000 persons ratio is the metric you use to judge Britain's system, then it's safe to say Nigeria failed decades ago because we're significantly worse than they are in that regard.

guess you are the new MANNABBQ whatever, with your fake act of patriotism, I have seen your kind, your loyalty is never to Nigeria, but to the corrupt govt of the day, if the Agbado master wasn't the president your kind will automatically turn jihadist.

Their country is run by the House of Rothschild and the Windsors.
They use Talmudic 'magic' of printing money from thin air, and then calling it money.

Money that is not backed up by gold; but by lies, propaganda and bloodthirsty armies.

No sir. Both pounds and euro are also used so as to covere their own asses else they would have protested against the us dollars too.
The US has to subtle let them use their own currencies to get whatever they want to get...covering their asses.
You can go to aboki with pounds and euros and they will change it for you to naira. Such can't be said about Chinese yuan or japanese yen and co as figure head in the world trade center so as not to raise eye brow. We all know no aboki go collect such money from you.

Also, Ukraine-Russian war is a good eye opener to how this thing works.
The US has been printing dollars and give to Ukraine as aid, UK also did in pounds likewise and in euro. Can we say that for china or nigeria? We have to convert to these acceptable currencies and that is where the fraud lies

When I mean international transaction, I don't mean buying and selling that anybody can engage in.
I mean govt, oil, gas etc. Its done in dollars.
The reason brics or whatever came to life so that such international transaction can be done away with.

Their currency is backed with gold.

And string currency can be a curse to a nation. No one wants to import from a country with extremely strong currency, one of the reasons UK doesn't have strong manufacturing base.

China devalues her currency intentionally to encourage other countries from importing from them, and by extension, their economy becomes stronger.

They manufacture what the use and export the rest. They do business in their currency.

You can't work in UK and get paid in dollars.
