Brain drain happens in almost all lower-economy countries now, it’d fiscally impossible to pay doctors in Nigeria the same wage they make in the US, or even Europe.
Same for most other professions.


Obviously but you could pay them more

Doctors should always be at the top of wage earners

When a dude driving a Uber can make more than a Dr you know it's messed up

Like Malaysia, Hong Kong, Singapore, where they were given subsidies, a strong relationship, and educated an entire class of people on that state, without brutal repression or incessant meddling leading to billions in pilfered resources.

Asian colonialism is not comparable to African colonialism. No African colony was treated like how Malaysia was treated, save South Africa because of their substantial white minority.

So to conclude, Nigeria's colonial experience is similar to that of other African countries. Except Nigeria had the largest black civil service and the most university educated black people in Africa before decolonization in 1960.

riiiiight yall just let your brethren rape your resources and send their kids to the west to live the good life.

They're typically not the brethren of those who own Nigeria's natural gas and oil.

A lot of Diaspora black people need to realize that not all black people are the same. Neither are all white people the same. Germans and Russians were willing to fight each other to the death from 1941-1945. The Nigerian government soldiers (mostly Hausas or Middle Belt peoples) massacred thousands in the Niger Delta in the 1990s so that their masters could access oil wealth.

:yeshrug:


I pray to God almighty that He destroys Nigeria one day. Let the whole demonic construct be consumed by fire.

I mean it. Nigeria's only going to get worse. Might as well divide it now.

Not born in Nigeria but I've been there. My family members have been escaping that calamity since the 1970s. Anambra and Delta states.

i agree, might as well split it up like india/pakistan or the ussr etc.

While I was there it was funny, i met igbos, yorubas, akwa ibom (spelling), hausas and thy all just seem to stick to themselves while subtly throwing dirt on the othr tribes

Nigeria is the African version of Yugoslavia. Once the generation of military rulers from the 60-80s finally die off, population zooms past 300+ Million and oil gets devalued even more, then things will pop off

I told her if she was in america or canada as a dr she'd be making more than that in a day.

Well, there is the issue of “quality” of education. A “Doctor” in Nigeria does not make a Doctor in the States. There are some medical programs in Nigeria that are just all “theory” with no “hands on” clinical/residency component.

I know a few Nigerians that were Doctors back home but are working as CNAs here because the quality of their education is just not comparable.

Which would infer that, in terms of quantity, there may be many “educated” Nigerians on paper, but the qualitative aspects of that education would be questionable. And this is not a knock on Nigerian intelligence, obviously, but moreso on access to high quality educational resources.

And with Nigerian intelligence the way that it is, Nigeria should be home to some of the greatest universities on the continent, and competitors to HYP, Oxbridge, or the Sorbonne.

General Babangida, a military dictator in the 80s and early 90s, tried to throttle Nigerian universities because they threatened his rule. He killed hundreds of students and jailed professors. Hundreds, if not thousands of academics fled abroad. I was taught by two of them who fled during the 1990s.
