Between 2015 and July 2021, a total of 4,528 Nigeria-trained medical doctors have moved to the United Kingdom to practise.

The figure is aside from the number of Nigerian doctors who were trained in the UK and are practising there.

According to Newey, the increase in the number of doctors migrating from Nigeria has made the council to open a bigger clinical examination centre. She said, “The data released to you contains the total of Nigeria trained doctors who gained their primary medical qualifications from medical schools in Nigeria. This is excluding Nigerians trained in the UK.

Anyone who has eyes should see with it...periodt.....

Same issues till today.🤦

seyeabimbola It takes an unusual bravery to have a medical degree in Nigeria and still remain in Nigeria without a concrete plan to leave as soon as possible.

Let them keep moving!

paul_nwabuikwu Effectively means, heavily subsidized Nigerian Universities spend every 7 year cycle to produce Doctors to be transferred abroad, much like the farmer leagues of Europe selling players to the bigger leagues, but in this case, zero transfer fees are paid! 🚶🚶🚶

Congratulations to all of them!!!

That figure is just to d UK, not other countries since 2015BC. *BC (Buhari Change)

Liars . More than 10,000

And? No be today.

Nigeria is a Fraud End Fake country with Fake president now End Fake government now corrupt criminals, Murderers, Fraudsters, terrorists government

That shows the sorry-state of our healthcare system and I am sure nurse are three times outnumbered the doctors

Nigeria trains professionals for other countries to enjoy. UK is a strong attraction. Our doctors and nurses are proving themselves here. They also have a good life. Life is short so enjoy while you're here. Simple!

My friend relocated last weekend 😂

The tragedy

If our educational system were as bad as haters of Nigeria love to make out, such wouldn't have been possible. Rat your hearts out with envy.

And still moving!!! That's just for UK alone, what of US & other countries? & our so-called president is the UK while doctors here in Nigeria are on strike... What a country!!!

Good for them.

What do we expect, ain't we see the magnitude of distribution this pple has caused Nigeria as a nation?

Option A - Stay in Naija where FG will owe u 6 months salary including 5k hazard allowance during a pandemic, still send troops to scatter protest at the toll gate if u complain. Option B -Get the heck out of dodge? God save the Queen 🇳🇬🇬🇧

E choke u? Why won't dey move. It's bcos of bad governance nau. If the country treats then we'll they won't move.

Are they still counting? By 2023, there might not be any consultant doctor available to attend to patients. Very soon medical students would also travel as soon as they finish NYSC. When politicians can travel abroad for medicaltourism! As a country, we're not ready yet.

Shouldn’t it be more than this?🤔

More go still move sef

It's Exodus

Politicians just keep on destroying their fatherland

It's Buhari's fault. He's also been frequenting the UK in the last six years.

Very sad!!! when a baaaad leader is at the helm of power the power perish.

They're not moving fast enough IMO

No wonder Buhari Dey go meet them there for treatment instead of finding a way to bring them back.

And those are the ones Buhari is spending our hard earned money to see. Shame of a country. At last we’ll resort to traditional medicine when the professionals all leave

Please reduce your volume, let my people find way to pass first before bad belle APC people will put sand sand in their gari

4528 Nigerian trained doctors o. Excludes the ones that trained in places like Russia and Ukraine, that had to run away from Nigeria. Nigeria is in trouble but they don't know.

Now you know why the U.K., the US and the West were pushing to have Buhari installed in 2015. They know the Middle Class will migrate when the economy is bad. It’s classic neo-colonialism, people. Who wouldn’t want cheap labour of highly skilled and well-trained professionals?

That's just UK oo.

The number would double by next year.

No wonder Buhary is in UK for his medicals

The so called UK is working against our people and draining the land. They are not doing any favours

Nigerian President moves to UK 🇬🇧 every month

HenshawKate Still counting

HenshawKate Beautiful!!!!

Japaaaaa

Don't blame those that are moving, blame bad governance.

Londoners.

What does one expect in a country like Nigeria? Very sad indeed!

DeclanIfeanyi1 Ahhhh you see, you guys think Buhari is not smart..when all these Doctors move to UK, who will treat him in Nigeria.. that's why he run follow them go abroad for treatment..smart move oga president..

In other news, today is Thursday.

Mad oh

So what? That's brain drain. Nothing new here. Punch paper is a tabloid gossip rambling gosh.

More than that, there are others doing Masters and PhD in the UK

Royale_1805 Under whose govt?

Not enough

I want to move too ...

Because even their own fathers land has forsaken them

Nigeria’s greatest export isn’t oil/ petro; it’s the people

Paving the way for Oosa Herbal and Dr Agnes Nwamma.

Good! The number is still poor. We need more people to enjoy a working system!

Interesting 🤔

Abeg I no move I dey here for you place your order now. Phone/Whatsapp 08130307960

And they still not treating the ones remaining here very well. I pity us

You people should leave doctors alone to emigrate in peace. Stop highlighting their exodus before you exposé them to some harm by Buhari and co. They aren't the only ones leaving Nigeria. Even Buhari himself has sent his family out since and nobody is crying about it.

Brain drain😕

Jisosssss

jetfinix

Not just the UK, but the US and the new distination - Saudi Arabia.

Make it 4,529. I will soon move

They did not want to become a professional farmer or tailor. So they travel to where they are value

Since they can't go into farming or tailoring.

🙄🙆‍♀️

That's why Buhari goes to UK too. He went to see them.🤣🤣🤣. When they stop, president will stop too. E shock 😲 you.

There is always consequences when you mismanaged the economy with primitive and archaic economic policies. The failure of TyrantBuhari is intergenerational. This genocidal criminal destroyed the Nigerian state. ElbinawiTweets

This record is just for the UK. How many Doctors moved to US, Saudi Arabia, Australia and other countries? Add the figures and bear in mind that no single Doctor came to Nigeria to practice from other countries.

Nd more will still move. Including my junior sis. Useless country.

maybe that's why Buhari is always going to the UK for treatment

More will go , including nurses and pharmacists.

We shouldn't be surprised by this development. By the end of this year, Small Doctors may be amongst the topmost Doctors in Nigeria.

What did you expect?

Are you just knowing that nigeria is doomed?

Baba Aisha and Gboko cleanser will treat us make them go.

To the UK alone...😖

Why them no go move it’s well

Many comments here are just talking about profession, there's a bigger picture. Because of how unsafe and poor amongst other issues in this country, we're loosing human resources and geniuses to other countries. At a point absolutely nothing will be working in this country!!!

Taxation on doctors is higher than when they in the country. Which makes northing different I think what they lacking here is irregular basics amenities & enable environment to practice Which i thinks not Anough excuses.

Wow!!! That's great. And more are still moving.

If the leaders could steal donation for COVID 19 relief money without building hospitals and not equipping existing ones why will doctors not run from Nigeria.

Two of my friends are leaving Month end, pls update the Score board

Good for them. Our people are going to where they are valued. At least no one would ask them to become professional tailors or farmers in the UK.

Since it is where most Nigeria's Presidents go to for medical check up, it is a shorter route to see them

Nigerian government keep doing politics. Don't utilize state resources

ProfOsinbajo great nation don't experience this...

4,528 is a small figure

Bravo 👏🏿 dem know Wetin good for them so they 🏃🏽‍♂️ 🏃‍♀️ 🏃 🏃🏽‍♂️ for their lives 😂

Good for them, Nigeria is a killer of dreams and a terminator of visions

You people have not seen anything yet

Expect more

Only 4528
