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

Security tags now on basic food items grin

What are they exporting? All their products are fucking expensive due to the strong pounds and they are no longer part of the EU since it's the only continent that can afford to buy their goods and services. Can they compete with China that's the king of cheap manufactured goods?

In 1974 New York also went bankrupt. This is a cycle of financial and economic events. Will Birmingham bounce back like NY? It remains to be seen.

It's the circumstances that make both situations completely different. New York had no Brexit and US was not in the middle of funding a war with a superpower that is more prosperous than it

No mind all those haters of their nation, ordinary southy na 500k per month fr rent, in fact how many eu countries collect rent per year, all they make goes back to the govt for providing them with a working economy&solid amenities albeit a capitalistic one,reason i dont blame folks who dont help much when they japa, it takes years of a stable good paying job along with side hustles to save something good to build something tangible back home..
Anyways if you must travel have the needed skills to survive,nothing is free in europe, they will give you car, wedding ring, social gadgets,debit cards,mortgages e.t.c( all on pay small small)it all seems so stress free but by the time they start deducting their monies lil by lil you will realise that our way of life in naija get hin own upside, we buy everything outright which makes us better financially and more rugged economically..

Lol get your facts right bro, no UK University will charge an international student £9000 per session to study medicine, it goes for between £38,000 and £50,000.

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.

Please what should we compare?

How should we compare it?
firstly medical fees in Nigeria isn't 25k as you stated, in addition you claim medical tuition fees in the UK is about 9k pounds or thereabout, but what you fail to understand is that with my minimum wage and various loans applicable most citizens can afford to pay for tuitions, in Nigeria I doubt if any can afford education with Minimum wage, and then what is the job prospect after graduation compare for both countries, lot of Nigerians who migrated to this countries on study visa are paying their tuitions fees by themselves while working and studying over there, are many Nigerians can afford such in Nigeria, you can't even compare the standard of education you get over there with what you have here.

Part of the reason
they are bankrupt is because they have been providing services for their citizens.
What exactly has Nigerian govt been doing with money. They'll still end up getting more loans undecided

Please what is your minimum wage?

And we are not talking of international students...am speaking of Britons studying in Britain vs Nigeria studying in Nigeria...

If you as an international student wish to study medicine in UK...you have to pay around £36,000 for a four year course...not the 1 year masters program you lot are doing ...

How many working hours do you have as a student...oya max it and do your calculations

I assure you that by the end of the second year ...you will either quit or be killed by depression....

If it was that easy....check how many have taken that route to become a professional in their field...
