Borno State Govt Recruits 30 Egyptian Doctors

According to THISDAY;
Borno State government has recruited about 30 medical doctors and experts from Egypt, to take charge of the newly commissioned Umaru Shehu ultra-modern hospital, Maiduguri. Nigerian doctors based outside the country are also appointed. The state government also directed all its 27 local government areas to recruit at least one medical doctor and two nurses, for each of the comprehensive health centres at all the local government areas of the state.
I was just wondering the rational behind the decision and it really beats me. Read carefully the words in italic to show you that the Nigerians employed were just to make it up.
In the characteristic Nigerian way, I hope federal character was applied in the employement if not I hope there are subsisting labor rules that makes it imperative as obtains here in the UK that no UK or European citizen is qualified to hold such position before giving it to a foreigner.
To the best of my abilities, Nigeria ‘harvest’ more medical doctors than any other country in Africa to an extension the world. Talking about well trained, Nigerian trained doctors have proven themselves outside the shores of Nigeria. We are not talking about application of attendant technologies in medicine.
I think it is high time the North rid itself of this imperialist thinking that have perpertually under-developed it and hindered the overall development of Nigeria.
This brings me to this clip below. Does it really mean this policy of the 60’s by the North still exist in today Nigeria?
What do you think?
Please see this clip and have your say too; Remind us if you can who the first speaker on the clip was in 1964? ** Clip is not about FELA**

Goes to show you how unpatriotic and mindless our rulers are. How can we develop our own people when our governments decides first to recruit foreigners then adding Nigerians to make up the numbers. Shameful, you will never see this anywhere else. There are hundreds of Nigerians if not thousands of doctors with the requisite experience to do the job but as usual our leaders have decided to give foreigners precedence before our own people. I am just fed up of our parents generation as can be. A bunch of incompetent bungling idiots who dont put our nation first… But then tell me whats new? 48 years of misrule, mismanagement and disenchantment… While thousands of our people are stuck in needless poverty. Astounding to say the least.
Many atimes we shy away from truth regarding the hidden agender of our northern brothers and sisters.Even as i use this loving language,brothers and sisters,to a notherner who is engrossed in extremist religion,we the southerners are still called as ARUNA.So they find it very comfortable to be touched by a non ARUNA or say an infidel.Going by Muslim religious rank,Iranian doctors may find our northern muslims too soft to the infidels in the south.The Saudi Arabia doctors are out of question.So Egyptian doctors suite well the muslim tradition in the north.This goes to prove a point that the Northerners are capable of doing whatever they deem fit irrespective of who is talking.I think from the point of their religion,they are deaf right.
