Brain Drain: Any End In Sight? (Part 1)
~3.6 mins read
When this writer left his highly equipped research laboratory at Lensfield Road, Cambridge, United Kingdom in August 1981 to join the University of Ibadan as Lecturer Grade II in the Department of Chemistry, he met many expatriates, especially from the UK, India and Lebanon as colleagues. The naira was very strong at that time as evidenced by the fact that this writer received N3,900 in the current Union Bank (formerly Barclays Bank) in exchange for £4,000, indicating a 1:1 ratio exchange rate at the time. Today, in the month of September 2021, when this article is being written, the same £4,000 exchanges for N2.26m (1 pound sterling equals N565). It is therefore expedient to suggest that the very high exchange rate of the naira is one major reason for brain drain in Nigeria.

By divine Providence, the country is endowed with very rich human and natural resources and Nigerians are brilliant and hardworking. The truth of the matter is that we are suffering the frustration and indignity of very bad leadership and governance over the last 40 years. There is no doubt that the discovery of oil wells particularly in the current Delta and Rivers states attracted the military incursion into the nation’s political life, informing the beginning of our woes and retrogression as a nation. In fact, the economic downturn during the military dictatorship of Muhammadu Buhari (December 31, 1983 to August 27, 1985 31), Ibrahim Babangida (August 28, 1985 to August 26, 1993) and Sani Abacha (November 17, 1993 to June 08, 1998) finally put the finishing touches to the ‘death’ of the naira and the consequent suffering of the masses due to very high unemployment and the drastic reduction in their purchasing power. Things became so bad in the country informing the exodus of expatriates to their home countries and the collapse of many industries, including Dunlop Tyres, Michelin Tyres, Exide Batteries, Delta Steel Company, several car assembly plants, Nigercem, Aba Textile Mills, several glass industries, Imo Rubber Nig. Ltd and Modern Ceramics Ltd to name but a few. This sad development informed the loss of millions of jobs for Nigerians and gave birth to all the vices we are experiencing today including armed robbery, kidnapping, ritual killings, destruction of human lives by the Boko Haram sect and the forceful possession of farmlands and killing of the owners by Fulani Herdsmen.

All the nations of the world now know that Nigeria is no longer a safe place to stay and this explains why many Nigerians are leaving the country. Brain drain has thus come to stay and remains a welcome development for many families who depend on foreign currencies from their relatives or children abroad in order to survive the hardship in the country.

The recent recruitment of Nigerian medical doctors in Abuja by the Saudi Arabian Government in Sheraton Hotels and Towers on August 24, 2021 is a slap on the face of the Federal Government under the watch of the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), who recently remarked that Nigerians who are not happy to stay in the country are free to relocate to other countries of the world. This is an unfortunate statement from the head of a democratic government. He was supported by the Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, who on August 25, 2021, stated that brain drain by medical doctors is a welcome development because we have an excess of them in Nigeria, necessitating their export. How can we have excess doctors when the current ratio of a medical doctor per patient in Nigeria is 1 to 5,000 as against the World Health Organisation’s recommendation of 1 to 600? Nigeria currently has a population of 200 million people while Saudi Arabia has a population of 34 million people. Her 113,000 medical doctors before the recruitment of Nigerian doctors gives us a ratio of 1 to 301 making her one of the countries in the world with excellent health care for her people. The Buhari regime has destroyed the once enviable status of the medical profession by her very poor funding of the health care sector, very poor remuneration and horrible working conditions. Our youths are very smart and know the damage this regime has done to the medical profession, informing the refusal of the best 10 candidates in the recently released 2021 JAMB-organised Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination results to apply for medicine and surgery. All of them, including the best candidate, Master Monwuba Chibuzor Chibuikem, who scored 358 out of 400 opted for Engineering. This is a very sad development for Nigeria and could also be partly due to the fact that the University of Ibadan, which has the best medical school in the country, cancelled the 2019/2020 session due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The university is consequently not taking part in the current admission.

Davido: Im Sorry For The Outburst, Actress Etinosa Apologises To Gifty Powers
~0.9 mins read
Nollywood actress, Etinosa Idemudia, has apologised to reality TV star, Gifty Powers, over berating her for hailing singer Davido as the best father.

Earlier on Monday, the actress had slammed Gifty Powers for hailing Davido for being the best father, simply because he celebrated the second birthday of his son, Ifeanyi, with the child’s mother, Chioma.

“If you want to talk to your father and your two different baby daddies talk to them directly but please leave our fathers- my dearly beloved father out of it. Trying to even use OBO to settle your family problem,” Etinosa had told Gifty in a now-deleted Instagram story.

She added, “If it’s a big deal that a man attended the birthday party of his own son and that has suddenly made him the best father in the world then Omo! Your childhood was rough oh. Sorry.” (sic)

Though Gifty did not respond to the initial outburst, Etinosa has apologised to the former Big Brother Naija season four housemate, whilst accusing her of clout chasing.
