Okay

Soo dull. How about you also put the cost of their living expenses. You are comparing yourself to them. Do you spend in pounds? Why should they be paid in naira or equivalent to their peers in naira when they live in a more expensive society?

Can nigerian doctors work this amount here in Nigeria?

Hmmm, na quickly do japa like this oo

Even if they put everything including the cost of breathed air, they will still pocket as high as 1.8m monthly in Naira.
I just did an average calculation for it now and got #2.3m monthly after using an average expenditure in a UK environment

Great take home there but the taxation and deductions in the UK is not beans.

If your dimwit politicians had not destroyed the value of the naira, the incessant clamour for wage increases wouldn't be occurring.

These are the figures after pension and income tax deductions

And UK doctors are said to he poorly paid

I what OBI said that doctors and health workers are one of our great comparative advantages

We should be building more medical schools and exporting our doctors

I'm happy South East took this offer but we need at least 20 medical collages in each state of the South East to export 10,000 doctors yearly and 50,000 nurses

Where did you hear UK doctors are poorly paid? Or do you mean poorly paid by Nigerian standards?

Helianus will Japa oOoOO

You mumu, do you know that their actual take home is not even enough to cater for the cost of living due to inflation if you take out rent, transportation, feeding and other. As a matter of fact they are going on strike from next month through july. Make una dey do yeye comparison

Poorly paid

My kids must be doctors in Uk with the huge take home. The future of this country is bleak

The difference in salary between the Doctors and other salary earners in UK is not much or the same

It clearly states:

How many hospitals and medical schools did he build when he was governor of Anambra State? You people will just be packaging nonsense for Nigeria. Tinubu may not be getting somethings right, but Obi have no moral justification to talk about doctors and healthcare, when he was governor, doctors where on strike for 13 months.

Why Japa no go occur

What about comparing bills

If it's not worth it. There'll be no issues with Japa. Since many doctors are japaing then it over worth it.
