Dear teachers and colleagues, “Nigeria-trained doctors rank second on UK blacklist .” http://www.ngrguardiannews.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=109219:nigeria-trained-doctors-rank-second-on-uk-blacklist&catid=1:national&Itemid=559 This is the latest news about some Nigerian doctors in the Diaspora. The poor chaps have spent a lot of money getting the theoretical CPD points to be in the good books of the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria and be eligible to write the unending qualifying exams in the UK. After an average of five years attempting the exams which is tantamount to a repeat undergraduate training, a small proportion of them qualify to be venepuncturists and the rest are into nonmedical practice. A few years later, some of those in medical practice are shown the red card and coming back home becomes difficult because they have become alien to the country of their birth. They have been replaced by doctors from the new European Union countries. This is the fate that befalls my junior colleagues acquiring the MDCN CPD points and travelling abroad. You are advised to stay home, improve yourself and pay back to the society that trained you. Happy New Year from rural Eruwa to you all. Yombo.

Hon Commissioner,

                                    Shouldn't we make this information available to the Provosts and Vice Chancellors of the various institutions?

I guess you also need to present it at the NCH.

I think we have been in denial for too long. Each time I hear or read how we generalise scintillating or superlative performance of our Nigerian trained colleagues in diaspora I cringe; because it has not been that sweet for some time back.

The truth is just evolving!

Cheers

Femi Thomas
